Farmington IL
Spring of 08 we had a farm that had to go back to corn that had nothing done to it in the fall. Here the spring of 08 was wet also. We hit it with a disk enough to cut the stalks up and air it out a little. Put the NH3 on it when it was too wet to do it. Hit it with the disk again then the field cultivator ahead of the planter. We did put a few units of N on as urea to get it some N early and it worked out ok. We gave up a few bushells but it was still more profitable than planting soybeans. We could end up doing this to about 400 acres next spring if we dont get some better weather. I bet if we do this and get a dry summer we will take a pretty good hit.
