 Planting too early or too late can reduce yields Univ. of Kentucky, Grain Crops Extension ©

 50 O F at a 2-inch depth for three or four days is excellent.  Soil temperature at 50 O F at 7:00 am or 55 O F at 1:00 pm 4

Univ. of Kentucky, Grain Crops Extension ©  Tillage (only when necessary) Deep ripping – only to alleviate compaction, conduct when soil is dry to improve cracking of the compacted layer Avoid the moldboard plow – quickest way to destroy soil structure and organic matter  Exception: incorporate manure Use chisel plow or field cultivator, avoid powdering the soil surface

Univ. of Kentucky, Grain Crops Extension ©  Tillage – compaction concern Most likely to compact soil when tillage is conducted one day before soil is dry enough  No-tillage – typically recovers from compaction quicker than tilled soils Compaction can and does occur in no-till, still need to be cautious
