East of Broken Bow | We've had a couple fields that were corn last 20 years.
Do a pass with a narrow spaced disk before planting, and the yield trend has been nothing but up in all that time. The trick is to have a disk heavy enough to actually cut deep enough to size the residue, and we go just deep enough to do that. We then sweep the rows with trash wheels a couple inches deep, with the goal of getting the seed into the undisturbed soil below the disking depth so the roots do not hit a compaction layer as they go down.
Keep in mind, this works for 'here' in our soils. I know people a half hour drive away, where it doesn't work so good. | |
