Faunsdale, AL | This is an interesting idea. If you plant soybeans/peas with something tall like sorghum or corn, how do you plant the two crops?
Only easy way I can think of is splitting a planter row by row, which in our case would would put them in 30 inch rows alternating across the field until you turned around and came back up the field when you would get 2 rows of the same thing together. Trying to think of a way to plant them in 15" rows other than going over the field twice, but maybe wider rows would be better anyway.
Would they compete with each other, I'm sure the corn would like the nitrogen the beans fix, but maybe the beans don't fix a whole lot more than they need themselves? I'm wondering if the soybeans would act like a weed underneath the corn and hurt grain yield or maybe not. | |
