In this area...we have a ratio of 10 or 20:1 in favor of disking bean stubble. Not sure of the exact reason. I assume they think it will get them in planting corn a few days sooner, which has shown to pay over the last decade. Not just a tickle either. Pretty black. Not dissin' them. We get all of our organic ground black in the fall. I just find it interesting with all the push and pay for cover crops, we are seeing the opposite. With high speed planters fall tillage with light discing prevents beaver mounds in the spring with one field cult pass. Too much row unit bounce planting at 9 mph. |
