Default RE: ??? on soybeans

I'm a rookie to all this. What do you mean when you say no-till drilling?
The ground that the plot is located isn't worked up. It isn't plowed, nor disked, nor chiselled. Any vegatation that is there is simply killed by chemicals.

When you are ready to drill your soybeans, use a cordless drill with a long 3/8' drill bit. Drill a hole about 1.5 inches deep into the soil and drop your soybean seed in the hole. You'd probably want to use a spade bit. When the spade is completely under the ground, that's about 1.5 inches. Then move on another 3-4 inches and repeat the process to make your row. Rows are normally spaced 30-32 inches apart. Although you can space them 15 inches and have a quicker canopy.
