Gresham, Nebraska

Here we go!!

First picture you can see last years corn stalk and '07's stumps 6" to the right.

Second - lining up, RTK guidance

Third - Planting into '07 stumps

Fourth - Results

Ground is in year 6 of no-till, very firm, no pinched residue, seed placed at 2.25" depth = beautiful!! ;-)

Corn head is a Lexion; row cleaners are Groff (not touching the ground); closing wheels are one John Deere regular rubber and one Dawn Curvetine.

We had really low humidity today (and WIND) which helped everything work slick as a whistle.
