I've said it before but the best time to scout your fields is after a big rain event. We've had 2.5" since midnight. This table top flat corn field was vertical tilled and planted with 1 bushel/acre of cereal rye. Some residue did move.
In the quest for zero soil loss, a thread

Excited to see soil clinging to the rye roots this year! Living roots will keep the microbes happy all winter. #soilhealth #covercrops #notill

For those of you with questions, Aaron sent a lengthy email today laying out his crop program for this particular field. Rather than post 15-20 tweets, we opted to create a blog post in it's entirety.
You can read his reponse here: ccsin.info/2XfrKZ5
These photos are from Aaron Krueger, SW IN
Yield averaged 260 bu/A. By far the best corn ever raised in that field since the family started farming it.
Yield equal or better than tillage neighbors'.
It's pretty safe to say they made more $/A.
Blew him and his grandpa away.

Learn how the Thomas family of Mott, ND, fine tuned their fertility program, #soil testing regime, and crop rotation!
