He spring strips and plants the next years corn crop between last year's corn rows.

Gerard, I don't think the 8 mph applies when applying manure with the Aerway as you are!

I think whatever is applied is just spread on the surface as is lime or any boadcast fertilizer then the Aerway is run at an angle to the 12-16" tall corn row stubs at 8 mph.

The concept is to pin the upper parts of the corn plant cut by the knife rolls into contact with the soil and toss abit of soil on the pieces. The 8 mph helps to toss a bit of soil. But there is just enough of the stalks left standing to keep things from blowing over the winter.
