Myers has planted corn in corn
stalks and the stand is good
about 28,000 plants per acre for
the silo. He feels a light disking
in the spring to mix the weed
killer would be good. But he is
still pondering the idea of a
sharp disking of the stalks in
the fall. He would rather like to
do this but says this may open
the field to erosion and defeat
one of the purposes of no-til
planting.
Though Myers plans to plant
about half of his 90 acres with
the new method next year, he
still thinks it is an experiment

‘ Your conditions with no-til are
definitely different and we need
to cautiously experiment with it
under several seasonal weather
patterns,” he said. “We don't
want a total crop failure.”
Robert Rohrer, Washington
Boro Rl, says, “I hope it’s the
coming thing. Our ground here
is rolling and we can’t plow the
whole farm.”
Bm. Rohrer still is not ready
to completely throw away his
plow.' With over 400 head of
dairy and beef animals on his
160 Seres of farming ground, he
thinks he would not get the full
benefit from the manure if he
never plowed it down. The idea
he thinks may work on his farm
is to plant barley on the whole
farm this fall. Then in the

Spring, he can do any of three
things plow it down; save it
for grain or cut the green barley
for his huge silos and no-til corn
in the stubbles. The later is
what he thinks he will most like
ly do, fertilizing the barley crop
to take care of the corn crop
needs also.
This is the first year Kohrer
tried it. but he likes getting the
corn planted in May so that it
has a full season to mature. His
no-til corn looks as good as
fields planted at the same time
in a conventional manner.
At New Holland, John
