Howard Mummau, Mount Ross Ferguson, Kirkwood; Poor Com Stand Results In Waste -- From Haste Thousands of farmers will shoot for com yields this summer of 100 to 125 bushels of shelled corn per acre. With more fertilizer, better hy brids, proper weed control and a break in the weather, many will make their goal. However, ali these good! good management practices are worth very little if a good stand of com is not ob-, tained. Two of the worst culprits that cause poor com standsi are (1) Improper fertilizer placement when planting the com and (2) Driving that tractor too fast when plant ing. If the fertilizer can be se en laying on top of the gro und after planting is done, he says, it’s time to throw away those old split boot planter boots and visit a farm machinery dealer. He may be able to make a conversion kit which will place the fertilizer two inch es to the side of the seed and How McCORMICK RUBBER-ROLL CRUSHINGhups YOU MAKE BETTER HAY...

Paul Nolt EPHRATA GAP two inches below. Research has shown that if seed com producer’s plant er plate recommendations are followed, the tractor will not be driven over three miles an hour when p’antmg. The plate recommended by the seed com producer was 36/64 inch seed cell length. They shot for 20,000 plants, per acre. At three miles per acre they obtained 19,400 seed drop, but at five miles per hour they obtained 16,000 se eds dropped per acere. When the seed cell length was lengthened to 40/64 in., the five mile per hour speed gave them 21,200 seed drop) and seven miles per hour dropped 20,200 seeds per acre. Most important, is to check the corn planter for seed drop on a prepared seedbed*. Also be sure to check the “knock out” to see if the sp ring is strong enough to eject the seed from the cells.
