We planted most of our corn no till on old cotton beds. Some fields where we only had 12 end rows, we worked up a strip wide enough to plant 12 more across the ends of the old beds. Every field that we did this, you can see with no problem the difference in the corn planted no-till and the worked strip. The no-till is taller and has a much better color. If anything, I would have thought it would have been just the opposite effect. It's no problem to see it in the attached pics. Anybody got a reasonable explanation?
