Subject: Planting soybeans into corn stubble.



Death comes to us all. Life's but a walking shadow		Got the corn off late and then came early deep snow that lasted all winter so I didn't get the corn stalks knocked down. It has been a wet cold spring and now it is getting late and getting behind. Normally I at least disk the corn stalks before planting beans but I wondering if maybe I could plant the soybeans down the row middles and roll down the stalks to get them below the flex head at harvest. I have conservation coulters on my planter.
Does anyone have experience doing this and any advice?

Union Star MO		I plant into standing corn stalks every year without rolling them down. By fall they usually are on the ground anyways.

north central iowa		It was wet and late last year here and I planted in between the rows on the standing cornstalks. It was wet when I was planting and the rows of cornstalks helped hold me up in soft fields. I didn't roll the cornstalks and they didn't bother the combine. I took off the trash whippers because it was kind of sticky in places. They all grew. I don't think you even need those coulters on. I used a 3200 Kinze planter. Good luck with whatever you decide.

WC MN		Roll before or after planting, skip the disk. Flexhead will run lower and stalks rot a little faster.

Northwest Iowa		we plant beans into stubble every year. we plant at a 5 degree angle to the corn stocks. we think it helps knock the stocks over and at harvest the header feeds better.

We plant straight into the stalks and use a no till coulter. I have pictures on my phone...but not on here yet or I'd post one.

I use no attachments and just plant at a 15-20 angle to the row. Combines just fine.

Here's a picture or two from yesterday. Row cleaners on corn units are locked up so they do push a few stalks out of the way but aren't needed. (none on split bean rows)  No-till coulter is only thing in the ground in front of the openers.

Pilot Grove, Missouri		You will be fine planting beans down the middle of the corn rows. The only problem you might have combining will be if a root ball sticks on a sicle guard and starts pushing. running at a slight anble with the combine will solve this. Patrick
