For the most part, ive been growing OP corn, Reids Yellow dent for around 30 yrs or more. Since I moved to NE Okla and started farming here in 85 or so, ive never had a good corn crop. I usually plant 8 acres to corn, and 4 to oats, the 4 being not in a straight line, haveing bends, turns, curves, ect. Ive never got a good yield. Year for last, as I couldnt farm last year cause of all the rain, and my land is bottom land, I soaked the seed for the first time, and doubled my yield, 2 wagon boxes full, with flare boards, around 60 bu for 8 acres. And that with a ton of recommended dry fert placed above ground beside the seed, and recommended by a soil test. Im thinking, this year, of only buying a bu of RR corn, and planting that and finishing up any 2 rows with OP corn seed I have. I am thinking of working the ground every night for a week, if it has been a dry week befor and during planting, and once a week thereafter, either with rotery hoe, spring tooth harrow arrainged to allow for the rows, and cultivator as it is growing, and then spraying, Doing this, I can surely make the 60bu at least, and have 11 acres to oats. Whats your thoughts??
