1. Can we Afford Not to Ridge Till?A typical farmer response to ridge till is that it is just another method of tillage. My contention is that it is much, much more than that. In my career in this I have had three cbjectives. One is to attapt to create as much balance between famkq ad the enviroment as possible. ?he second is to rrake farming profitable. The third is to make farming easier and fun. I believe with the proper approaches in regards to fertility, chemicals and water management along with the ridge till technique the... |
2. Cover Crop Impacts on Corn and Soybean Nitrogen Accumulation and YieldThe need to retain soil N between economic crops has renewed interest in cover crops for the eastern cornbelt but their management remains a barrier to widespread adoption. We conducted a 3 site-yr study to determine effects of cover species (wheat or rye) and biomass management (burndown 40 d, 20 d, or 2 d preplant) on corn and soybean yields. Sites included a very poorly drained (wland wlo tile drainage) and a well drained silt loam. With adequate drainage, cover biomass 40 d preplant averaged... |
3. Variable Seeding Rates in Twin Row Planting and Micro Management of NutrientsA large scale study to determine if twin row planting, utilizing particular fertility concepts and conservational practices, out produces conventional methods of planting and fertilizing. The primary goal of the study was to increase fmer profitability and promote methods of conservational tillage. ... |
4. Consequences Of Shallow NH3 Placement And Timing On N Use Efficiencies In Corn ProductionA field study in west-central Indiana was conducted to investigate the effects of shallow anhydrous ammonia (NH 3) placement and timing on N use efficiencies in a conventionally tilled corn production system following soybean crop. The spring NH 3 was applied either pre-plant (6- inches offset from future corn row) or side-dress (at mid-row position) at different rates (0, 80, 130 or 180 lbs N acre -1). Aboveground biomass harvest and combine harvested yield were used to determine N recovery, N internal... |
