Soil Stratification Study: What are the Crops Looking Like Now?

In our 3rd and final video before harvest season. Marion updates us on how the soil stratification study is going and how the crops have responded to the amount of rain we have seen lately. There are still noticeable differences between the plots and we break that all down in this video. #farming #harvest #soilhealth #corn #agriculture #study

Marion, you my friend are a national treasure!

[@CalmerCornHeads]

I will be sure to pass on the kinds words!

As a 74 year old previous farmer we were always told to plow down our P and K, and chisel plow to breakup a hard pan and only no till on hilly ground to prevent erosion.. Roots grow in the ground not in the air. Why would you let your fertillizer wash away without getting it in the soil.

[@rick4020]

Please do a strip till trial in your plot with dry fertilizer incorporated in the strip. Close to the surface like with a Dawn and deeper like with a Gladiator running at 7 inches. I bet the results will be similar to your tillage plots.

I will pass that suggestion along to Marion, thanks for watching!

What about the plow without application? That's a better control element.

[@CalmerCornHeads]

We will pass that suggestion along to Marion. Thanks for watching!
