I
use a customized Kinze no till planter with Monosem row units to
plant sweet corn, field corn, and pumpkins.
This machine has Rawson coulters, Kinze row cleaners, Yetter parallel
linkage, CASE IH depth wheels, Martin spading closing wheels, Keeton
seed firmers and foam markers.
When planting early into the dead
mulch I use a 2" eight wave coulter on either side of the row and clean
the row so the soil dries out and warms up quicker. It is basically
a zone - till setup. Later on I change the coulters to a 1" 13
wave style. Each setup applies 80lbs. of N on the row - 40 lbs. on
each side. I also put 4 gallons of popup fertilizer in the seed trench.
