Northern Indiana		SF3 is rated 1.2 inches over 9 months
SF-RTK is rated 1 inch continuous (was 5 years, this seems to have been dropped)

Obviously this is under 100% accuracy and ideal conditions as is pertinent to any satellite based correction signal

This scenario isn't really a fair comparison to any accuracy of GPS signal. Planters tend to track directly down the same path as previously planted. I've seen planters used to break the crust many times successfully, something was not done correctly here. There are a lot of variables, I've even seen following the same direction as the field was planted on each pass make a big difference.

The local Deere AMS guy last week said that SF3 would be just as good as SF-RTK with the caveat of no year-to-year repeatability.  

Late May 2024, did a couple hundred foot long experiment on a field where half the corn hadn't emerged yet after three weeks in wet, cold mucky soil.  The seed showed zero signs of decay due to suspected anaerobic conditions.  Without a good rotary hoe, the experiment was to move the planter gauge wheels two notches, to shallow up the opener discs, with the idea of breaking any crust and allow oxygen into the soil.  For the sparce corn that was up, the opener discs sliced those V1-V2 size plants right in half.  Think I'll stick with RTK (now SF-RTK) versus SF3.
