Cultivation Practices For Corn Yield And Weeds
Minnesota College of Agriculture and United States Department of Agriculture findings show deep cultivation is unnecessary for corn when the soil is properly prepared before planting. Shallow cultivation suffices to control weeds and preserve root health, with yields rising through up to six cultivations. At University Farm Saint Paul, two cultivations produced 45 bushels of corn and 3210 pounds of stover, profit about $5.98. nine cultivations nearly 3 bushels and 8831 pounds of stover, profit about $10.09. Frequency depends on soil and bed conditions. keep soil mellow and weed free, with late cultivations limited to two or three inches deep.

Transplanting Care For Nursery Trees

Draining Land Boosts Profits and Yields
The article argues that lands too wet for profitable crops should be drained, noting uplands and slopes often drain profitably, especially where erosion or spouts occur. Drained land can yield 60 to 70 bushels per acre of corn or oats, with increases of 25 to 100 percent and land value often doubling due to higher yields and lower cultivation costs.
