The purpose of this study is to determine the Economic Optimum Seeding Rate (EOSR) relative to planting dates and if planting populations should be adjusted when planting is delayed.

The data has not been compelling or consistent in the three years Beck's has conducted this study. However, the data demonstrates a slight trend in reducing populations when planting is delayed.
