Received a John Deere FB-B 137 seed drill last year from my bride. Planted sunflowers and soybeans this spring and have an idea of where to start next spring with settings, was a lil heavy. Preparing to plant my fall/winter plots, planting oats, rye and wheat mixed. Anyone else have a drill in this family and willing to divulge any settings they use with mix like this? I'm looking to plant about 100#/acre, if your over or under this it'll give me a start. Thanks for any suggestions.

We wound up on setting of 18, 10 days out it seems to have done well. Think it was about 85#/acre. Very pleased that it held up to the rain Matthew brougt. Will keep watching to see if this was too thick, but for now looking like a good snack bar for the critters.
