“But it will save time ” He com
plained a bit about the fust
cost of the planter but agreed
that the cost could be made up
in savings in trips across the
field.
The Allis Chalmers planter
used by these farmers on a loan
rent basis from a local dealer
has a fluted, waffle-type coulter
that breaks a two inch row
through the sod as a seed bed.
The ground between the rows
is not disturbed thus retaining
the moisture. Discussion m the
group reported good results in
late corn planted after barley
harvest and Campbell said the
recent heavy rams had not
washed away any top soil in his
no-till plantings.
Though someone in the group
called one of the fields “hairy”,
general thinking seemed to fa
vor the new practice or at least
indicated an interest in seeing
more trials of the method. One
of the most important things
mentioned as needed for suc
cessful no-till corn planting was
the killing of the under crop.
The tour returned to the
Campbell farm about 3 30 p.m.
for a treat of ice cream and
orange juice at the farm stoie.
