    1. Determine the target population and actual population.

    2. Subtract the actual population from the target population.

    3. Divide this number by the target number.

    4. Add 1.00 to this number.

    5. Enter this value into the Population Adjust input box using the number pad.

IMPORTANT: If your planter is a split-row model and the hitch is offset when planting split rows, do not adjust the lateral offset value in the software. The offset value remains zero because the planter rows are recentered when the hitch is moved..

NOTE: The split rows are typically further from the tractor than standard rows. Adjust the Work Point when switching between narrow and wide row spacing.
