In Reply to: organic corn yields posted by Charlie M on November 16, 2020 at 12:47:27:
From what I can see yields are all over the place when it comes to organic field crops like corn. If you have light textured soil that is well drained you can cultivate as needed. If your soil is heavy and/or slow to drain/dry you are most likely not going to be timely in terms of keeping weed pressure minimal. That was a primary consideration when I looked at organic farming over 20 years ago. The farm I am on is prone to wetness during the growing season that can hold up cultivating and even spraying for more than 2 weeks depending on the weather pattern. I remember back in 1996 I no sooner planted some soybeans via a grain drill then we picked up 3 inches of rain to be followed by over 4 inches of rain a week later. The net result was the beans crusted in and the inability to use a rotary hoe greatly reduced the stand. The following year brought similar problems and after that the drill got seldom used for soybeans. I love the commodity prices that go with organics but the logistics make the probability of profit remote.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
