From Local As Toachors:
A topic which has received a lot
of discussion and magazine print
the past few years is No-Tillage
Corn. What does No-Till Com
mean, how can it be used and
what are advantages and
disadvantages of it?
Let’s first define the subject
and it’s counterpart. No-Till com
is a means of planting and
establishing a corn population
without previously working the
seedbed. This differs
dramatically from the con
ventional practice of plowing,
disking, harrowing and further
working the soil into a soft, yet
firm seed bed.
Proponents of no-till corn list
the following advantages. By not
having to work the ground prior

Thoughts
in Passing
to planting you save much
valuable labor and time and thus
are able to establish a corn crop
much earlier. This may be a very
valuable asset if we should ex
perience and extremely wet and
late spring. Another good point of
No-Tillage corn is that it helps to
control erosion. By not turning
the soil over, it maintains a fir
mer consistency and the
presence of last years sod crop or
a winter cover crop aids further
in keep the soil in place during
summer rain storms.
On the other side coin,
arguments cite the fact that
cultivation is practically out of
the question. Therefore to keep
weeds under control a more in
tensive and extensive program of
Illli | fall'll

chemical weed control must be
undertaken. This will result in
additional costs and if the
weather is- unfavorable or the
chemicals are not applied at the
best time, they may have little
effect on undesirable plant
growths. The initial costs of a No-
Till planter is often pointed out.
Being of special design it will
naturally be somewhat more
expensive that the conventional
planter. To lay out a large sum of
capital for a piece of equipment
used so infrequently during the
calendar year may not be a sound
economical investment. Par
ticularly if your com average is
low and the conventional tillage
implements are in good repair.
Now-that we have examined
both pro and con viewpoints of
No-Tillage Corn what suggestions
may be offered to those farmers
who may be considering going
from tillage methods to these new
types?
One line of thinking has been to
rent the no-till corn planters for
the period of planting. This way
you achieve all the good points of
the system and also cut down on
the major expense and up-keep.
The rental fee over the long run
would undoubtedly be less ex
pensive than the time and
equipment consuming tillage
practices. With proper chemical
applications and a little luck from
Old Man Weather weed programs
could be kept to a- minimum.
For those farmers with tillage
equipment in good repair and
time and help enough to get the
job well done they would ob
viously choose to stay with their
equipment.
For many, a choice may need
to be made. Here’s hoping that
next years com crop is even
better than the past, regardless
of the way it was planted.
