Here is my take on soybean row spacing. If you have good fertile ground then the narrow rows do not show as much yield advantage as in poorer soils. I am currently planting 30 inch beans. I have had a drill on 7.5 inch spacing and a 15 inch interplant planter. In my good ground the yield has been the same. On some of the poorer soils the 30 inch lags some.
I would get a 30 inch planter for your corn and beans. IF your soils are not real good then double plant the beans. I like planting them the second time at a slight angle. It helps with erosion and they feed into the grain table better.
I see some different ideas on populations too. I want a final stand of over 150K so I plant 160-170K. Look at the germination of many varieties of soybeans. Germs in the low 90s and upper 80s are common. So you need to plant more seed to reach your target population.
The fellow that is planting 130K either has real fertile soil or has a yield drag he does not think is there.
