The success of your seed bed started with your combine pass last fall. Managing residue and compaction in the fall sets the stage for the 2017 seed bed. A quality seed environment requires four things: Uniform depth Uniform moisture Uniform temperature Seed to soil contact Uniform depth Consistent depth means consistent emergence. One collar delay…
When the soil warms up in spring, the microbial organisms that break down the previous season’s corn stalks use nitrogen as a food source. When those organisms are busy breaking down the corn stalks, they tie up nitrogen that would otherwise be available in your fields for plant use. The tie up is often called…
Many growers are preparing to harvest a large crop this fall, having been blessed with ample rainfall and excellent growing conditions. A side effect of a large grain harvest in many cases is that big yields often come with big plants and large amounts of residue. Managing large amounts of residue can present challenges not…
Driven by a passion to help manage residue, Gregg put together a strong engineering team to develop this new retrofit stalk roll system designed to improve the following year’s plant stands, and help improve the availability of nutrients locked within the residue. As a result, 360 CHAINROLL was created, and was tested on fields throughout…
Our goal at 360 Yield Center is to help you get the most from your nitrogen investment. So at Proving Grounds 2015, I shared a new way to make nitrogen more readily available in our fields – starting at harvest. 360 CHAINROLL is a new retrofit stalk roll that crimps and chops the stalk while…
Harvest is here. And, the residue your combine leaves behind can make an impact on what your yield monitor displays a year from now. Harvest tools can set you up for an optimal growing environment for 2016. You can manage corn residue to be an advantage while minimizing residue obstructions at planting. Why Residue Management…
