Walnut Grove MN USA | Jim, I have a corn field in wheat stubble and the neighbor across the road has a corn field in conventional till bean stubble. Planted a day apart (later in May). It was very wet, he was planting about 500 feet and stop to unplug planter, over and over, figured it was his last field and found out later he was going on a fishing trip. Any way I tried making strips in my standing stubble and gave up just too wet. Next day it went much better. My point is that now my corn appears to be relatively even where his is really uneven, easy to see from a semi. We had about 10 inches in late June over about 2 weeks that really messed up the corn. our ground is pretty similar as far as soil types,drainage, etc. I think the wheat stubble might make a differnce when wet as well. | |
