But he also went on to say that no other farmers have called in suspecting the same problem. Other Chester County farmers who received waste oil from local industries should contact Beitler or Marilyn Hewitt at DER’s Norristown regional office at 1875 New Hope Street so their sod can be examined for possible PCB contamination. Or call (215) 631- 2413. *to open a small trench for the seed; * to place seed at an even depth; *to place seed equidistant down the row; * to provide good seed to soil contact; and * to cover the seed. Opening a seed trench with a no-till planter requires running a npple or fluted edge coulter ahead of double disc openers to cut through the surface mulch. These coulters should not be set more than one inch deeper than the desired seeding depth or the seed may be planted too deep. Seed that’s not planted at a uniform, depth will not emerge evenly, and this can cause problems. Depth bands are usually helpful in obtaining even seeding depth. Com should be planted one and one-half to two inches deep and soybeans one to one and one-half inches deep. Bunched seed with large open spaces down the row doesn’t allow the crop to intercept sunlight and use soil moisture evenly, which can depress yields. Even spacing down the row depends on good seed plate selection for plate-type planters, and adjustment and proper operation on all plan ters. Worn seed plates should be replaced. Seed must absorb moisture to germinate. This requires good seed to soil contact. When available, a seed fir ming wheel can im prove this planting function, especially under dry soil con ditions. The seed must be covered to protect it from predators and to give more even ger mination. For no-till the narrow ribbed drive cover wheels work best on fighter, drier soils and the wide ribbed wheels on the heavier, wetter soils. For the small angled dual cover wheels available on some planters, the heavier cast iron wheels should be used on no-till. Finally, the planter isn’t ready to go until all outputs have been calibrated, fertilizer and insecticide as well as seeding rate. The extension service held a planter calibration workshop in Harrington in February to demonstrate the necessity of calibration and the ease with which it can be done. If you missed this meeting, contact your County Extension Office for a copy of “Calibration Hints.” In the field, planter units should be running level and operated at the recommended speed. Speeds above 4.5 mph have reduced stands in no-tillage.
