Let’s head out to Rock Creek, Minn., now where Jon Stevens continues to prove no-till can work in even the toughest conditions. Jon’s Yield Monitor tells the story of a successful growing season as we hop in the cab with him. 

“Corn-on-corn is not very common here in east central Minnesota, let alone corn-on-corn with no-till. We’re carrying 260 (bushels) for a little bit of a ways, that’s phenomenal. Just think, you could win a plaque or National Corn Growers Award in other parts of the country for 300-bushel corn. Nobody recognizes east central Minnesota for growing good crops. On forums, I’ve read where people come over here to laugh at us and how we do stuff.”

“For our area, to have a monitor just sit like that, I’m proud, let’s say blessed. God has very much blessed this field.” 

Stevens says that field received a foliar feed with drones around V5.
