I am entering my second year row crop farming. Last year was all soybeans using a JDVB drill. This year I am going to plant my first corn crop, and have spent the last couple months looking for a planter. I have my mind set on a John Deere 7000, either 4 or 6 row. I am also open to dry or liquid starter, but I think liquid would be easier to store.
My question is, if I get a conventional planter, how much tillage is required to use this planter? Ideally, I would find a no-till or conservation planter, but they're hard to find or out of my price range. I have a moldboard plow, chisel plow, disk and harrow. I was considering trying to make a small vertical tillage tool also.
