This fellow from Georgia needs to come up to Iowa in April and try that 3 inch depth with his own money paying the bills. LOL The only place this MIGHT work is the southern sates where you have the heat to bring it up quickly. Here in North-East Iowa you have to have corn come up with temperatures that are barely above the minimum they say corn will sprout at. Because there are many times you will get cold spells that would rot corn planted that deep up here. I have had snow accumulate on emerged corn several times in my life time.
Guys getting paid to talk about high yields all have things they push that makes them the "EXPERT" on growing high yield corn. I tend to listen to fellows that have a record of high yields over thousands of acres for decades of time. There are ideas that these fellows have that are good to think about and adapt to your operation. Just realize most of these HIGH yield "champs" are doing this on small fields " fifty acres or less" and may use practices that would never be practical on large commercial operations. An example is a one fellow applied his fertilizer in six different applications timed over the corn plants life cycle. Try that on thousands of acres!!!
