Late season pics and comments


Here is a photo of what not to do when planting corn into strips or no-till. I have a severe dandelion problem. I was aware of it and sprayed this field early in the spring. It took two applications of glyphosate to control them this spring. A fall application of glyphosate or 2-4D product is much more effective. Due to the strips this corn will do OK.


This is an after planting photo of the field that was strip tilled with cereal rye grass used for a cover crop. The cover wasn't perfect over the whole field. This shows the spray timing and the fact that yhe cover crop should be browning by the time the crop emerges.
