Vacuum Level, Baffle Position and Vacuum Meter Brush for Corn Seed Using Large Sweet Corn Disk
For corn, use the seed corn supplier's information to calculate the seed size in seeds per pound.
EXAMPLE: If the seed size is 2100 seeds per pound, referring to the chart, vacuum level should be set at 11 in. when using the Large Sweet Corn Disk.
IMPORTANT:
The 11 in. vacuum level above is an example on how to use the chart. You must calculate proper vacuum level for each corn variety.
