In Reply to: corn planting depth posted by bradley martin on August 29, 2018 at 18:45:32:
3" deep is something I would never consider with any soil that has any degree of clay content so I am out on that. Got to have heat units and sunlight in my mind to make a run at 500 bushels per acre. The season in the Finger Lakes Region here is too short to make that a realistic goal until plant genetics modify which I would guess would take around 20 years.

Once they think about it I can't imagine that agribusiness will get behind this once they think about the safety in numbers concept.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
