NE Iowa
I think Mleburn, pretty well sums up why notill doesn't work. Quote: "But my operation has changed from the days of a 6 row planter with starter attachments and a host of other no-till attachments to a bare bones 16 row planter get the corn in the ground so I can haul seed. "

We notill and it does work, but I know that(and have told the boys) if we would chisel behind the combine, put down NH3 on half the acres in the fall, or on a year like this all the acres, then on the first decent day next April we could go out and drag the finisher over ground that is too wet so it drys out and then start planting on ground that isn't fit underneath. JMO And it would grow corn also, without all the attachments on the planter and the time to set it right. Anyone can plant corn in a tilled feild.
