| I would try to find a soil finisher to rent. Discing corn stalks in spring usually makes corn look like hell unless you do it a month before you plant. When you introduce new food for the microbes they temporarily steel all of the N until they get their fill. You won't get that N back for a while. I try to decompose all of my stalks with fall tillage.
I put 100 lbs of AMS with the other broadcast fertilizer on a field like yours last spring to help break down and it seemed to work. The field was only lightly fall disced because the glaciers blessed it with a million rocks so it was really trashy. We then soil finished it 2" deep and set the row cleaners on the planter deep, there were little windrows of stalks in between the rows.
Another thing to consider would be planting 2-3K thicker than you would in bean stubble as you always have hairpinning and a few no-grows in a field like that.
Hope this helps! | |
