Subject: RE: Gumbo bottoms prep for corn?


My brother has been farming a quarter section for three years now. It's mainly gumbo, poorly drained, and nearly all flat. When we planted corn last spring, we field cultivated it, knifed in NH3, ran a Salford over it, then planted. Everything we did was in the spring. It didn't work out very well, and we are going to either disk or disk chisel it this fall, then probably field cultivate in the spring and NH3 in the spring . It is definetaly too wet to notill. It was barely dry enough this year to notill beans in it, and if we try notill corn, we may never get the corn in, I think, unless it' a dry spring. Are some of you saying you chisel and field cultivate in the fall? I guess that would be another option. How long after chiseling do you wait to field cultivate?
