Methods of Corn Planting
In a recent Wallaces Farmer issue corn planting is discussed as not fixed. It notes corn should not be planted shallow or before soils warm. Growers like George Pashby stress planting depth just enough to cover seed with moist soil. Planting depth often set by a Sauger attachment and planter standards. Three kernels per hill on good land, fewer on poor soil. Harrowing is used to kill weeds before and after emergence. Edge drop planters, seed grading, and careful butting of ears improve germination and uniformity, with dead kernels concentrated at ear tips.
