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 before changing seed types and treatments. You should also recalibrate if the
as-applied seed rate does not match the population shown on the planter monitor.
Notes:
• The stepper 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, you should not need to
recalibrate when switching varieties within the same crop type.
• Before beginning a calibration, make sure that you have primed the seed meter. For more information,
see “Priming Seed Rate Meters” on page 94.
