6 rows is the best, even 4 would be better for corn but don't match what I got. 6 rows +25 bu 12 rows +12 bu 24 rows +6-8bu Beans maybe lost 1 bu one year then lost 6 bu last years, don't know why, will see what this years beans do. The boost in corn has been very consistent. I have been broadcast litter, ripped or disked in, then sidedress rest of N on corn. This year I striptilled it all with dry fert on corn and nothing on beans, sidedress balance of N on corn. Looks like this year I will take the endrow beans off, take corn out, then take bean strips. This is because we had 70 to 100 mph winds with really wet ground and maybe 15% of the outside rows pulled the roots up and are leaning into the beans. I guess will have to see this fall, but that is the plan as of now. I didn't get a 15 ft bean head until 2 weeks before harvest last year! LOL |
