Yea, I am running the setup. It was just so wet here this spring, never ever got dry or warm until long after optimum planting window. So I went when everyone else did.

In 07 I was 100% corn. So the corn that was planted this spring was 100% no-till corn on corn. Some of it was 3rd year continuous corn. I am still continung the CCCCCCC "test" rotation but the acres keep getting smaller every year. I think with some help from mother nature (not like this year) I can make CCBCCB work by running up the rows, but that 3rd year gets tough. See the pics near the bottom of this page with planter running through 3rd year residue. Not for the squeamish.
