Riverbend is correct -- As one who did research with different corn hybrids, I probably had 8 or 10 different plate sizes. If you have a local supplier, take your seed there and estimate what will fit. However, you won't be able to actually tell until you put the plates and seed in your planter. Ideally, when you turn the drive wheel you want one seed per cell to drop, and you don't want any cracked seed. In the real world you will crack a few and drop a few doubles -- but if the seed manufacturer does not recommend a plate, you just have to experiment with different ones. If your seed was designed for an air planter, there is no recommended plate size.
