If a little rain comes at the wrong time, rye can get away on you before you spray it - too tall for the corn to compete. Just be aware of that, have the disk/ multcher waiting.

Down here in southern MN in my 120 foot deep clay soil from Canada we need to get rid of moisture & add heat, so no-till just doesn't work. Think I'd still be planting corn if that were the only option....

I'm hoping strip till works out, & the price of that equipment drops into my price range. (Cheap used.)

This is a real hot-topic on some discussion forums, like politics or religion. Gotta be careful what you say sometimes. :) Notill vs tillage, like the cattle/sheep wars of the western range.

Put 110# of starter on all my corn, 5-27-20 or whatever those last 2 are. My soils tested fair to almost fair for P & K last fall.

Most corn is on bean ground, 120# of NH3 applied in spring.

Few acres are corn on corn with close to 200# of NH3.

Few acres was an oats field, had cattle manure applied last fall, nearly headed oats regrowth plowed down in fall. NH3 this spring. Very sandy light soil, this field often looks poor with corn on it.

Few acres were 5 year old alfalfa field fall plowed, no NH3 added, just the 5lbs of starter.

A very few acres are direct seeded into a pasture I grazed early, only starter on it so far. Planted late, I'm evaluating wether to spray out the grasses & sidedress N, or let the cattle graze out the corn later.... Just a test, with everything stacked against the corn getting a chance....

So far the best looking field is the alfalfa patch, followed by the manured patch. I do not plan any extra N on the alfalfa patch, & exepect it to yield as good or better than the rest.

Planting dates & so forth play into it, so nothing scientific, but interesting to see the different situations unfold.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha ... [Read Article]
