In our part of the world, the west edge of central il, there seems to be a slow move back to 30in rows. Alot of things come into play. At one point there were a whole bunch of no till drills, lots and lots of them but getting a good stand of beans was a crap shoot. It took to much seed and most were 15 footers and they were to slow so most all of them are gone. Some got relaced with split row planters and some with 30in planters. The split row planters work fine but are expensive and heavy. There is little evidence of added yield with 15 in rows so people are replacing split row planters with 30in planters at a increasing rate. Alot of guys who bought those deere 1780 splitters have traded them off for something else. There are guys who traded 12 row splitters for 16 row 30 in planters. Just seems like without any big yield kick that 30 in rows are going to be the norm again. bill
