Subject: Re: Thoughts on 3rd year corn


Martinsville, Ohio
I am doing the same thing, continuous notill corn.

Hybrid differences are huge, might be the key.

I follow the soil test recommendations and adjust with tissue test.

Weeds are my biggest problem but about to get ahold of that.

Forget tillage with the right planter setup, waste of money in my studies.

Just plant in the middles with something similar to the Martin setup.

Soil life increases drastically, you can see it visually.

Trilex or Dynasty is a must in notill and I think any continuous corn but that nutrient load is really important too.

My neighbors and I are mystified how we grew this crop on 6 inches of rainfall.

Dig soil pits to see and confirm, you can almost see that matter melting down through the plow slice.

Showed one of my previous owners the difference and he said if he had that I wouldn't be living here.
