This is my first year of planting corn using my deere 1240 plate planter. I have b1x16 plates for medium rounds. I have the planter set up for the 18 driver sprocket on the 7 driven sprocket for number two idler. It says I should have a plant population of about 18,900 per acre with about a 7 in seed spacing on 38 in rows. I am planting field corn Does this sound like it would make a decent crop based on spacing? With good fertilizer and moisture what can i estimate the yields to be per acre based on this setup. Other than narrowing the rows and different plates, is there anything I can do to increase the yields? Finally, is 7in seed spacing too tight?
