Thumb of Michigan | The purpose of knocking stalks down is to prevent excessive damage to tires in the spring and possibly incorporate cover crop seed in the fall. Just to give a little more info. We have tried 7.5", 15", twin row 30"(I like twin rows for a little faster canopy) and now 30". White mold can be a serious issue here with heavy dews in the morning that can last till noon or longer. The reason for switching to 30" is to allow air seeding a cover crop at leaf drop. I have a 16 row JD 1770NT planter. I have tried driving over the stalks in the spring, but noticed a lot of tire wear from the stalks. | |
