Subject: RE: Corn on Corn vs. Corn on Bean Yields


On our ground we are seeing better yields with our corn on corn ground than our corn on beans, we don't have any yield drag on second year corn and it steadily rises after that.  I think alot of it is due to increasing the organic matter with the corn residue so our soil is improving.  What hurt alot of the corn on corn around here this year was fall applied N followed by the corn being planted into mud, the roots never developed right and where wasn't any nitrogen left when the crop needed it.  Our corn on corn got 165lbs of N, about a third put on with the planter and the rest sidedressed and if we hadn't been so wet early in the season our corn could have easily averaged 220+ across the board.
