WC Iowa- mostly river bottom | If the problem is all in spots or length wise with the rows in a big area we used to pack the corn row with a light tractor running the tires on the row. Corn always came up. In later years, before max emerge planters, we made a 12 row 30" packer with truck tires filled with cement, pulled it with an A John Deere tractor in 5th gear. was fast and effective. Surely there is something you could come up with to pack those rows. Neighbors used a ford tractor, 8 N or something like that that matched the rows. |
