oldtanker, don't make statements that you can't back up. I personally make 800-1000 bales of corns stalk bales for my own use every year. I am willing to bet that my ground is as good today as the first time we ever baled the stalks 40 years ago.
Want to know why???? I mix in what falls out of a whole bunch of cattle each year with those same stalks and spread it back on my ground.
That being the case on my ground. You need to really look hard at any of the Universities data. Reason bring that much of it contradicts itself from one school to another.
A fact is that stalks left laying on top of the ground, exposed to the elements, until spring have very little nutritional value left in them. If you want to get the maximum good they need to be in contact with the soil microbes ASAP in the fall. Many are using the new vertical tillage tools to do this without loosening the soil too much. I personally deep till in the fall. I have all of the ground I farm laid out in contour strips so I get very little erosion.
