Hey Terry, its good to hear from you.

My experience with RR corn so far has been real good. I still think Field Prep is important. My cornplanter will not plant well unless the soil is turned over and disked out. I will say that with any corn planting, After disking, if the weeds are gone, do not disk more than needed. You do not want to compact the soil by overworking a plot. Weeds have a tougher time getting started on loose, broken up soil.

I do think that so far after this year - I will forget about the cultivator - and go to RR corn only. The difference to me is amazing so far.

The RR corn was about $120.00 per bag compared to $45-55$ per bag. The Roundup was expensive at $180 per 15 acres though. Still it seems with gas costs, and my time, to be a cheaper and more sure alternative to Manual cultivation - or at least close enough in costs to make it worthwhile.

I will post both field results for others to judge as the summer goes on.
