In farming, there’s a lot to remember, so I like simple tools to help me. One of those tools is the Ag PhD Planting Population App, which is a free download for your phone or tablet. I’m using it to assist with stand counts in the field.
First of all, how do you do a stand count?
The best way I’ve found is to count the plants in 1/1000th of an acre in several spots across a field. Here’s where the app comes in handy.
