The Meter Calibration number allows the seed meter to communicate the correct seed population to the
display. Assuming the Controller Settings are correct for the seed rate, this Meter Calibration number,
which is based on the number of cells on the seed meter, should not need to be adjusted. However, you
may wish to recalibrate after changing seed types and treatments. Recalibrate if the as-applied seed
rate does not match the population shown on the planter monitor.

Notes:

• The seed rate meter calibration does not recalibrate any previously-logged planting data.

• This recalibration number applies to a specific crop type, i.e., corn. Normally, there is no need to

recalibrate when switching varieties within the same crop type.

• Make sure seed meter is primed. For more information, See

“Priming Seed Rate Meters”
