STARTS mis FALL!
More Reasons for Fall Plow Down
□ Fall plow down usually means one less trip over the
field next spring reducing spring compaction when
soil tilth can be very sensitive to compaction.
Often, because there is such a rush in the spring,
there’s a tendency to get on the land before it is really
dry enough. You can’t see it but the damage is being
done to soil tilth which could reduce yields.
□ Plowing down Phosphate and Potash in the fall.
ensures adequate nutrients will be available to the
corn plant. All too often,, in the spring, we tend to
depend too much on the starter fertilizer to supply the
bulk of the total crop needs. “Starter” Fertilizer is just
that, nothing more. It should only be used to help the
crop get off to a fast healthy start.
□ Whole plant silage corn takes tremendous amounts
of potash out of the soil. Broadcasting and plowing
down in the fall replaces this Potash in readiness for
next year’s crop. ____
