Martinsville, Ohio
The corn behind the Martin's is beautiful, tilled and no-tilled.

I wouldn't stagger the wheels, let them till, like a garden planter.

I don't use any down pressure, if you need that, just put a little weight like seed in the seed box or a weight in the insecticide boxes to get your weight for downpressure.

They should float and till what is there, they can't do any more.

If you force them down you just aggravate the soil condition.
