Subject: Re: Planting Very Small Seeds With a Planter



To add to the complication, those small seeds only want to be covered, not planted an inch or two deep.

A JD 7000 with bean cups can spill seeds like a drill. Though the bean cups rate seems to run from 34 to 123 pounds per acre in 30" rows, more than you'd like for clover. The low rate cups for maize/sorghum run from 1.5 to 6.2 pounds per acre.

The herbicide attachments probably are in the right range, but aren't calibrated for seed.
