Got all of the sweet corn laid by yesterday. Also tilled the other rows and got them cleaned up. Everything is looking good!View attachment 1305437View attachment 1305438
We do it the manual way and my back and legs approve that message this morning!Looks great! I wasn't able to till between all my rows, planting the skips took a long time because we were dropping seeds manually.
When you lay the corn by, how are you dripping the fertilizer? Does your plow have a way to drop it or do you spread it manually then plow in?

We had some sort of side dressing way. It was another cultivator set up some how. I’m sure sone one on here has a small one for pics. Everything we did was standard and uniform to make it practical.I think thats how Im GON have to do it was well. Wanted to rig something up, but not sure what I could attach to the plow I use.

Daddy has some kind of something that he modified from a piece of mule drawn equipment he had that could attach to the belly of his Super A in front of the plows. It would distribute and cover-lay by in one pass.
we always just used the spreader to sling the sody out on the corn. Set the lift high enough that you are above corn height, and let'r rip 'tater chip. The sody that lands and sticks to the leaves will make a brown spot on the leave, but it either out grows it or something because in a couple of weeks, you can't tell it was every there. Make sure your corn is dry before you sling it out, or it will look like it got a doze of the measles.
After you spread the corn, use a set of half shovel sweeps to really pile that dirt up around the corn stalk. That will turn all the fertilizer in toward the stalks, and not leave it in the middle of the rows.
Do you have a pic of this? I have a neighbor who can weld together pretty much anything, and if I can get a good idea and the parts together I think he n I could build it.
