East Central Ia | We have almost the exact same trail going in a field.
Since you reference corn stalks I assume this is going to be planted with soybeans?
I agree that your seeding rate is too high. We have settled on 35# ahead of corn and terminate at 8" is the goal. And 45# on Cornstalks going to beans. We are playing with the termination timing this year to see how much growth we can get to help with weed control in beans.
My rye is not as tall as yours is, at the moment I think its around 12" tall.
I was looking at a field yesterday afternoon that my brother thought was dry enough to plant. The end rows by the field entrance were ripped last fall, and soil finished weeks ago. The pass through that looked like crap! Definately not dry enough to plant, but where the rye was planted last fall it looked nice. This rye was maybe 6-8" tall and terminated close to three weeks ago now. Its yellow and mostly laying on the ground. | |
