I will be planting my first corn crop here real soon. I'll be using my JD 7000 6 row narrow. I've gone thru it pretty well and am optimistic about it working well for me. My questions are about me performing well with the crop.
My first concern is planting. Would you recommend that I make rounded corners in the fields? or should I square them when planing my headlands?
Also my planter is 15 feet wide, my sprayer has 45' booms, should I plant 3 passes worth of headlands to make spraying easier? or will I need more than 45' of headland width to make my turn arounds later while spraying the center rows of the field?
Another concern is ending the field, say I come to the last pass on the field and there is say 10 feet between the rows that I am now planting and the headland rows that I planted earlier. If I just turn back around and head back, then I would be overplanting several rows. Is it ok to overplant? Should I remove seed boxes on these rows to prevent the overplant? What about fertilizer for these rows?
Also, how do I deal with overplanting on point rows? I don't have row shut-offs.
Thanks, from a rookie that is very anxious to learn! any help is appreciated
