Corn School: How planter tire compaction impacts yield

A properly calibrated planter can make a key contribution to corn yield but could the planter wheels be causing yield-robbing soil compaction? Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs corn specialist Ben Rosser says it's important for growers to be aware of soil compaction on or around corn rows during planting. On this episode of the RealAgriculture Corn School, Rosser looks at compaction trials conducted in Ontario's Oxford County and the Niagara region comparing corn planted into different tire-related compaction environments.  These included planting corn into trafficked rows (planting into planter tire tracks) and non-trafficked rows (where tires travelled between and beside the rows). Yield from rows not near tires was also measured. #farming #planting #corn #agriculture https://www.realagriculture.com/canol...
