aqf - 5/28/2015 22:28 Drainage is not an issue with the guys trying this. Comes a point when you have your ground firing on all cylinders you have to try new things to raise that yield plateau. Lets not crucify them for that. Not for me, yet, but I respect what they are trying to accomplish.
Stine was quoted in corn and soybean digest Feb 2015. He said many of the high pop fields went backward in Iowa last year due to wet soils and lack of oxygen in the soil. Many of these fields had no prior planning for high pops. So drainage is a issue.
