Farm cats are curious.

It won’t. I can send spring pictures of strips.

U of I cataloging earth worms in the tillage site at Piatt. Natural drainage in the strip till and notill. Not in the conventional tillage..

NREC and U of I Tillage trial. Strip till cover. Strip till. Conventional and notill. Piatt county research farm. 5th year of yields coming soon maybe when we get a rain day.

The neighbor across the road. 12 row head unloading on the go—— Us🤣

I would think just the cost of diesel fuel would have cut into the fall tillage that’s being done in central Illinois. In the past 50-60 years of tillage we have reduced Drummer SOM by nearly half.

We haven’t used it in 2 years. It ran the capstan NH3 controller. We don’t need it since we went to the ISO and JD controller.

Current conditions Pesotum-Villa Grove area.

Random ears, 35,000 pop. Central Illinois. Same hybrid. May 13th planting.

The good, the bad and the ugly. Left stunted plant from rootless corn. Next ear less stunted plant. Right 3. Normal stalks normal ear.

$4.49 but the filters must be plugged because it’s pumping at a half gallon per min. Come on Circle K in Savoy IL. Get it together.

They are survivors. Unless you pull them out and keep the root ball from touching the ground. 🤣. Pre emergence chemicals worked good here as did cereal rye cover crop.

Left tilled , right 3 crop rotation notill wheat, cc notill soybeans, striptilled corn. 10 year study Hammond Illinois. Weather station on site pictures are 3 min apart while raining. Both fields patterned tiled. Left has no root channels or earth worms. Right side being counted.

Another inch over night near Hammond Illinois. Wheat harvest delayed. Should fly on the double crop beans.

Cereal Rye vs Waterhemp. Replicated tillage no till study.

North of Pontiac.

Jacob Dickey has a point. 🤣
