Tried one field (24a.) of no till last year, planning on trying some again this year. Last spring was wet, followed by a dry summer and fall. Low areas were stunted or drowned out, higher area did about the same as the conventionally tilled field across the fence.
But for a herbicide program... my plan is to burn down with Roundup (or generic) 2 weeks or so before planting. I have some RR seed and some conventional. Which would you use on the no-till ground, and why? If conventional, would you use pre-emerge (that's what I've been doing for the most part for the last 7-8 years) or post emerge?
If it makes any difference, my rotation is corn following 3-4 years of hay, then oats with hay underseeded following the corn... I don't do corn on corn.
