McCanna, ND | Some of it depends on your location. Here strip till corn will out yield no till corn consistently because the ground warms up quicker in the spring. Starter fertilizer also pays for us, not so much in yield but with drier grain and it takes 1-2 days of RM off the corn since it gets going a little earlier.
If your down pressure is perfect on your planter technically you shouldn’t bother the soil structure, to much pressure will create sidewall compaction which would at least temporarily alter the soil structure.
I do like no till but at this point in my learning stages I’m not comfortable doing it with corn because switching to a shorter maturity I give up 15-20 bushel easy on that alone. Also, it has to be profitable for me to do it. That’s why I like strip till right now. | |
