Agree! Doesn't seem to be a lot of farms taking this approach though...
Slowing down the stalk rolls also helps with butt shelling when corn dries too fast.

😍Planting between the old row preserves the stubble.

We are seeding our “poor man’s drain tile” Rye cover crop into corn stalks.

We are anticipating a wet spring & this cover will get us into the field quicker & have a better seed bed than not planting it.

If it’s dry we just terminate the cover before it’s knee high & plant

[Andrew McGuire @agronomistag]

To the extent that aggregate stability reflects soil structure, this is good news: stability is not highly related to soil C, but rather to tillage intensity.

Improve soil structure by reducing tillage; no C increase needed.

It's nice to see fields preserving their stubble and keeping a nice seedbed for the next crop.

Concaves are the closing wheels of the combine world now.

This N542C put 16,000 acres on our new ext. length Main Pin & Bushings with only 3/16" of side movement on the row unit .vs. A&I with 4000 acres at 1/8" of play.

@agronomistag This statement from the article sticks out.
"A large force driving the dilution of crop minerals is carbon emissions, which are giving plants more photosynthates with which to produce carbohydrates that drown out minerals and vitamins in food."

@okaton_farm Seems logical to question the use of the same tools used in the past, (aerway, gen-till, phoenix harrow) will provide different results today.

Anyone plant with their JD planter in the fall for wheat or cover crops?

Finished 72 rows to make this 1890 better than new. The weights are even in the right place!

[Exapta Solutions @Exapta]

Nutrients follow the water... no-till, cover crop field. Need fertility that doesn't leave. Starter plus some N applied with the planter.

@CoverCropCoach Since you have firming wheels it'll work.

[Exapta Solutions @Exapta]

@farmerjim13 @russpauls It sticks around the O.D of the wheel?

[Exapta Solutions @Exapta]

@farmerjim13 @russpauls What rate are you running in furrow?

[Ed Heczko @greensums]

Very very dry , but seed must go in ground at consistent depth , direct seeding

Who uses scrapers on their opener blades? Have you ever gone without?
If the gauge wheels are set tight to the blade its less of an issue.

[Exapta Solutions @Exapta]

@farmerlefty @ssickle Makes it easier to take the blades off too. Loose gauge wheel arm pivots seem to be the larger cause of mud plugging.

Row cleaners? We don't need no stinking row cleaners.
