Grandpa calls it God's country, NEIA | Corn crop is all over the board. If its COB its looks pretty darn good for the most part. Corn on corn looks really rough yellow stunted, to looking good. Why the Corn on Corn is struggling is a culmination of things. If they didn't get the fall tillage done. And went back to corn in the spring in this area that corn looks the toughest. The corn is fighting heavy corn residue of the last years corn crop even with full tillage. Some of the corn planted in the earlier side of the window. That corn got frosted twice. All of the factors above contributed to the tough looking corn fields.
The best looking Corn on Corn I've seen was, a chopping corn head last fall, Deep chisel plowing fall(very black), Some pre plant 32% Hit with a field cultivator, and planted. Then side dressed 32. |
