In the perfect world, the RMA would change its rules.......... Years ago, the fellows down south showed me pictures of soybeans growing in wheat stubble, which wheat had been combined with stripper heads, and therefore the stubble was a lot....and tall. They planted into standing wheat.........as I recall it was after combining the wheat. Result-------- it works------- growing beans in a lot of stubble. Now......fast forward...... In the north, where time is of the essence in the spring......if the RMA would extend the time for having to kill a cover crop after planting.........one could PROBABLY sow cereal rye, sow soy when the cereal rye was say, 2-3 feet, and combine the rye seed (for cover crop seed) above the soy (planted in 30 inch rows). Should be a big time suppressant of weeds, plus the added advantage of the cover crop roots. Rye ought to die after combining, but still have a bunch of stubble for continued control. Water in the spring has not been a problem around here. |
