Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn.
It will depend on the sensors. The 350 will not be the limiting factor.

One planter I had would give accurate population with corn but would just peak out with soybeans unless I drove extremely slow. This was due to the vast difference in the number of seeds passing by the sensor each second.

The next planter had the so called Hi-speed sensors and would give an accurate population in both corn and soybeans.

If you plan on planting soybeans with the drill then the number of seeds passing by per second would be much less than my situation. Possibly regular sensors will be able to "keep up".

As an example 35,000 seeds/acre at 30" spacing would equal 140,000 seeds/acre at 7 1/2" spacing assuming the same ground speed.
