Default RE: One weedy corn field!!!

Hi farmhunter, I planted my first corn this year and I went with roundup ready and am I glad I did as weeds are on a rampage this year. The four acres I planted with my new seed drill around the end of May is really looking great. I wasnt real sure how the spacing would turn out using a drill to plant corn, but you would be hard pressed to see a difference between it and a local farmers corn. I planted a three acre block and a 30' strip of corn around a 1.5 acre soybean field. The soys came up great until we got 10 inches of rain in 3 days about three weeks ago. I lost all but about a half acre of beans and lost just a little strip of corn on one side of the bean plot. Im sure my corn plot would look just like yours if it wasnt for being able to spray the roundup. Hope you get atleast some corn this year farmhunter.
