If you till your ground right .. hence not to wet. and lightly till ahead of the planter conventional beans will beat no till anyday. I like to disk early spring catch rains and than come back and just lightly hit it with the finisher works perfect ! This is in a irrigated 200 bushel + enviroment.
Well I guess that my thinking on the notill is that I'm trying to raise or at least maintain organic matter. It has been trending down for 15-20 years, and corn on corn is starting to become a problem with cool wet springs. It's like with conventional I must raise corn on corn to maintain organic matter, but I must till heavily to get a crop. I'm hoping a notill corn bean rotation will solve some issues. |
notill beans question?
