the following year.
As the family worked with reduced tillage
in conjunction with a better crop rotation,
they found their cop yields actually increased
and profits improved. It seemed logical if
some reduced tillage was good, then nmre
was even better, says Ray.
• Two years ago they planted their fust
no -till com with the Huron Soils and. Crop
Improvement Association no -till cram planter.
They were encouraged enough by the results
that last winter they made some changes to
their own planter, to not only better
accommodate reduced tillage conditions, but
also to experiment with more no -till and
ridge -till on their own.
The Hogans and Howards were very satis-
field with the results and now are convinced
that no -till and ridge -till will work Recently
they purchased Kelderrman row cleaning
units from the United States for their planter.
These units are basically a combination colter
trash whipper with Much better depth control
- aid stability than what they used last year.
These units will hopefully overcome most of
the depth control and stability problems they
had _ last year and thereby improve the
performance of no -b11 -and- riiige crops:— -
It's
ps:--
It's Ray's goal to be able to move completly
to a modified no -till - ridge -till copping
system for all of their cops on all of their
land. Whether he attains this goal depends to
a large extent on using cop residues,
particularly wheat cop residues for beef cow
feed.
During the past ,number of years the
Hogans and Howards have large baled' or
staiired Dorn stover and some wheat straw for
winter teal They have applied A.A.A. frond a
tractor mounted tank to the stacks or bales of
conn Stover as they made them in the field.
The A.A.A. helps to preserve the stover if it is
green 'or damp and it also increases the
protein content.'
It is often dlffiailt, Ray says, to get enough
good weather in November after corn harvest
to bale or stack enough aom stover for winter
food, however. Removing even one-half the
corn stover with the baler or stacker can lead
to greater erosion the following spring. $they
only graze cows on the stalks in the fall and
early winter, another advantage of grazing
over baling the stalks is the cows pick up any
ears left in the field, preventing 'volunteer
corn the following yeear.11 is also very easy to
do the chores when the cattle feed themselves
in the conn fields. ".Considering the problems
with baling cora stover versus glazing it and
since we have also found we can improve the
chances of success of rho -till corn when it
follows wheats by baiing-the-sty, we ere
now using more wheat ,straw and less corn
stover for winter feed, says Ray.
