Contour listing boosts corn yield at Castana Experimental Farm
A six year study at Castana reveals contour listing can raise corn yields by four to five bushels per acre. The ridge end furrow surface traps rainfall, improves soil soaking, and enhances weed control with less field time. Practices include sod ground listing with the lister, terracing on slopes, and targeted fertilizer and insecticide placement. Bob Zimmerman notes the method, requiring mainly the lister and conventional equipment for other tasks.
