Comment:
{{PL: Planted the conventional tilled corn plots in the Rotation Study today. This included Rotation/Crop plot #'s 1B, 2B, & 3C. We used the Buffalo Planter with the following setup: Variety - GL599 from Great Lakes Hybrids; Population- 24,300 seeds/acre (no starter fertilizer or insecticide). We also flail-chopped cover crops on all ridge-till plots (3E, 4A) and on the no-till (5A) corn plots. This is to setback or eliminate the cover crops prior to planting. The no-till plots were sprayed earlier wth Roundup and the rye cover is dead. These plots were mowed simply to chop up the cover so the planter would work better and to eliminate the possibility of shading. The rye cover on the no-till plots was probalby about 24 inches tall when mowed.}}
