Callao Missouri | I have experience with no till as well as conventional till, I actually do some of both.
I like no till for its convenience, soil savings, and time savings. I have one no till field that works pretty well but it took a while for it to come around the corner.
Here is the problem I have with no till. I cannot get the lower ground creek and river bottom fields to dry out in the spring in a timely manner to be able to successfully plant a crop. Last fall I left a couple of creek bottom fields alone and I could not get the soybeans planted till the of June. Granted we had an unusually wet spring here but the problem has happened the same way on other creek bottom fields in the past. But if you chisel those fields in the fall you get more black dirt exposed to the sun light and it dries out in the spring and you can get the crop in.
I don't have all the answers just more questions, I guess I will have to keep no tilling the upper ground and conventional tilling the lower ground | |
