Subject: No till crop rotation... Too much?


Merkel, TX
We are in the 1st year of actual no till and are still trying to get a rotation schedule.

Can there be too much? Do l have to have a fallow period? Here is my idea.

2 years wheat. 2nd year of wheat followed by either double crop hay,Milo or a cover crop. Wheat would be harvested in June, the hay or Milo would be harvested around october. Cotton would be planted the following June, harvested in nov or dec followed by either double crop wheat or a cover crop to go back to cotton for a second year.

Is this to intense? I've always heard you will wear out your soil if you over do it without a fallow period.

Keep in mind, the 1st year of wheat will be a double crop behind cotton.
