I began to work some land yesterday. It is very early to do that here but the ground is dry and I have a lot to cover in a short time so I began to disk down some of the corn stalks. It is usually the middle of May before the ground dries enough to be worked but this year we seem to be a month or so early. My farm is in northern NY state near the Canadian border.
I plan on planting corn and soybeans but that will not happen until the ground warms and that is a few days away. I do not plow the corn ground unless I am going to plant beans. I just run the disks over the stalks a couple of times and then plant right through the trash. So far this method has worked well for me. Last year I did the same thing and planted some soybeans through the trash because it was getting late to plant corn and I was surprised at how well the beans did as the yield rivaled the ones that were planted on plowed ground.
I realize that many of you farm where you plant crops much earlier than we can here in this icebox but if we can plant early we can get a good yield and still make a little money. Happy farming.
