How far apart do you usually plant your rows for corn? Lookin at planters and needed to know how much room it needed. I figured someone on here would prolly know.

30" rows are standard. We have a neighbor who still uses 36" and I see one distinct advantage. He can start sidedressing fertilizer several days earlier without the risk of throwing dirt on the row.

30in is what you want.. shades the ground sooner

and the seed corn companies tell you (lol all the way to the banks) that higher population makes higher yeilds... and the way to do that is narrow the rows down... I have a cousin that is planting 20in rows...

just cause a dealer is selling more corn don't mean the farmer is making more money,even if his yield is higher .

If your seed won't make 8-9 bushel per thousand plants per acre you should maybe change brands. at 7 bushel per thousand you need 21,500 plants per acre to make 150.Paul

I've planted 38's conventional and 30's notil. Really never saw a difference in yield between the two. For me, about 135-150 bu per acre was what it was, pretty normal for this area.

most planters should be adjustable to an extent.30" works best with a standard spaced tractor
