Corn Singulation: The Heart of Planter Performance
How Top Singulation Translates to Top Yields with John Deere
Corn singulation is a measure of how well a planter can drop one and only one seed at each intended spot along the row. In the Beck’s Planter Showdown, John Deere achieved the best results in this area, outpacing both its major competitors.
Poor singulation—meaning more skips and doubles—can waste seed and lower yield potential. Every double means two plants are forced to compete in a single space, and every skip means an opportunity for another plant is missed entirely. Well-designed planters, like those from John Deere, help maximize every seed investment by enhancing singulation through state-of-the-art meters, drives, and monitoring systems.
By earning the best marks in corn singulation under tested field conditions, John Deere has proven its row units’ capabilities to deliver reliable, accurate performance. For growers focused on squeezing every bushel from their inputs, singulation should be a top purchasing priority, and John Deere’s results offer powerful validation.
