Welcome to the club of wrong plates. Just a thought have you ever tried planting the corn in “v” shaped rows with several rows of bean between the pie slice shape rows of corn. It’s an Ed Spinazzola idea which turns the beans to great shooting lanes when the deer cross from one section of corn to another. You won’t have to brush hog any corn that way.
I'd recommend waiting to top dress with urea until after you spray the corn. Corn doesn't utilize much nitrogen the first month or so of growth anyway so all you're doing is feeding the weeds and wasting urea on them. Just my 2 cents. Hope you're getting more rain than we are!
It might be the best mistake you've ever made as long as the corn isn't too thick to grow tall. It can't hurt having corn and soybeans near each other in the same field
@@michiganoutdooraddiction4543 I am from Florida, but when I was young by grandfather farmed around 500 acres and he had several 100 pigs. Every year he planted a 40 acre field that was planted in peanuts the year before with 2 rows of corn and then 2 rows of iron clay peas or soybeans. He would get volunteer peanuts, from the prior year, the beans or peas and corn would also do great.. There also was enough corn to get adequate pollination. The iron clay peas or soybeans were picked for planting based on availability and cost.
Looking forward to following along this season! I didn't realize you were in Lenawee County. I just moved from Lenawee County to MT. We'll be back in November for 1-2 weeks to see family. I hope you have a great season!
No kidding ! I thought you were close when I seen you at wild wood park. That is awesome ! I’ve been following along on your adventure out west and that looks like amazing country !
@@michiganoutdooraddiction4543 MAN!!! That would be awesome! Thank you so much for the invite! I will definitely take you up on the offer. I'd love to throw a video or two up on the channel and endorse MOA as well! I'll keep you posted on our return home.

That is a really good idea 👍. I’m definitely gonna give that a try next year ! Any videos on TH-cam that you know of showing the method ?
Michigan Out-of-doors ran a couple ofshows with Ed, check there.

Thanks for the info, I will definitely keep that in mind. We have missed out on just about all the rain. Always seems to go around us 🤷♂️

Sounds great ! I will keep in touch and hopefully we have some good weather and everything works out good 👍
When are you planting your corn plots ?
Here in Southern Michigan I usually try to plant early to mid May. I have planted as late as first week of June with good success.
