Soil test ratings were high with a cation exchange capacity of 14. Plot design was a six-pair trial with 12 rows in each pair. Pioneer 3395IR corn was planted May 15 at a seeding rate of 26,400. The plots were spread with a 15-foot special built easy flow applicator to confine litter to the 6 plot rows. This study will continue in 1997.
Late harvest can cause some challenges for drying and storing grain.
Natural air can be used to dry the grain in a bin, but if temperatures are below freezing, care must be taken to not freeze the grain. When grain is warmed in the spring, condensation can occur and freeze, blocking air flow through the grain. When harvesting grain in the late fall, take care to dry the grain to safe storage levels. Level the grain in the bin to assure even air flow throughout the grain. Some heat may need to be added if the weather is cold.
