I’ve planted a small field, about 5 acres of corn. I’m doing it the old-fashioned way and plan to cultivate it.
What is the recommended or average age/size that corn (or soybeans) should be cultivated?
Should the first cultivating be: After 3 weeks? or After 4 weeks? (Approximately)
How about the 2nd cultivating? How long would you normally wait, before cultivating, for the 2nd time?
This year, we got 2 inches of rain, about a week after planting, the corn was up, and another inch and a half, 3 days later, in north Missouri.
I don’t actually live on the family farm anymore, so I’m trying to get an idea, before I drive up there and look at the corn.
Thank you,
