Subject: RE: strip farming



Flandreau, SD

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
