A member was gracious enough to give me some corn seed last month. I planted it traditional tillage but late for my liking (June 4) but it is doing good.
I had extra seed so I wanted to try something in a wheat/oat plot left from last year. Last week I laid over the wheat/oat cover crop and ran my Ford 309 Planter over it to see if it would get the seed down in the cover and in some dirt. It did it with pretty good results since the ground was fairly soft. Seed is emerging 1 week later. I'm not going to spray this test plot and see if the weeds stay down due to wheat/oats shading them out. I did spray it after laying it over and before planting but that will be it. So far, things look good. Just need rain over these next 2 months. Fun to try--will update thread.
