Good afternoon.  I hope everyone is enjoying a great Memorial Day weekend.

I farm in NC NE and it is a relatively common practice to use an inter-row ripper in standing corn when it is about 6" tall or so in a corn on beans rotation.  The advantage in our area/soil of waiting until the corn is up is that it minimizes the risk of erosion as the bean stubble doesn't always leave enough residue after a spring ripping to keep fields from blowing.   Our neighbor has always custom ripped our fields using a Blue Jet with summer points but this spring I purchased a used DMI/CIH 2500 with new no-till shanks and points to do it myself so both the ripping and the ripper are completely new to me.

The last thing I want to do is more harm than good so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your support.
