Name: Richard GlenisterSubject: zone till corn in old hay sod
Email: rickgthf@yahoo.com
I have available several old run out hay fields (ten+ years sod). How fesible is it to kill the sod this spring and zone till corn. What equipment is necessary as there are stone (six in. or smaller just under the surface)? I anticipate using Clearout 41 Plus in April then use atrazine post emergence. Will this work? We are located in Central New York (Cayuga Cty) so we do not have the heat that other locations receive. I am concerned that even though these soils are in sod and have not had heavy traffic and compaction there will not be enough aeration and deeper soil stirring to get the root growth necessary for a good corn crop. I noticed that the big corn growers in this area have gone back to moldboard plowing in the last few years, Why? Any help you can give me will be appreciate.
