How we can help?

Spacing? Depth? Speed? Residue? Seedbed? Which problem is costing you the most during planting? Look here to uncover the cost of poor planter performance . . . and simple solutions to fix them.

Populations. Spacing. Placement.

Higher populations mean that the placement of every plant - every seed - is critical. Corn plants closer than 4" sense high population and react to the high stress environment. But with a little effort, today's planters can achieve spacing accuracy of 97% or more. Find out how.

Depth. Compaction. Residue.

Uniform emergence is the most important event in a cornfield's year. Plants that do not emerge within 48 hours after their neighbors turn into "weeds". Creating a good, clean seed V, getting seeds to the bottom of the trench and eliminating compaction can get plants off to a uniform start.

Measure. Monitor. Control.

Find and Fix planter problems before they cost you a dime. New monitoring and sensing systems can identify expensive issues you can't detect in the shop. And with new control systems, you can set and forget critical functions like downforce adjustments, VR populations and Row Control.

Sprocket Setting Rate Charts

To determine the correct sproket rate setting, it is important to know the number of teeth on the contact wheel sprocket. If one of the rate charts below does not match up with your planter, contact your local dealer or Precision Planting with your current (pre-vSet) rate chart.

What is Singulation?
Singulation is the measure of how accurate a meter segregates seed from the seed pool for planting. Our measure is in percentage of how many times it segregates one seed and only seed out for planting without errors.

Why is Singulation Important?
Singulation accounts for both meter errors that result in skips and multiples. Other metrics such as population and average spacing values can mask skips and multiples, which leads to false conclusions about meter and planting performance.
It pays to plant with Precision.
