Variety Plot – Elmira

This was another of our yearly Dekalb Corn Variety plots, planted here at the shop. This field followed winter wheat and oat cover crop, gets around 3000 gal of hog manure and is no-tilled. The plot was planted with the shop demo planter – a John Deere 7240, with all the Precision Planting upgrades.  5 gal G24 liquid starter was added on the seed as well as 20 gal of UAN + ATS applied 3” to the side, just below the surface – 3×0 – through conceal knives. The in season PSNT called for 75 lb of nitrogen, so 25 gal of UAN with 15% ATS was applied at side dress timing.
