Tips to managing residueAt harvest: --Process the residue with the cornhead. --Leave 10 to 12 inches of the corn stalk standing at harvest. --Control traffic in the field. --Consider grazing corn stalks to reduce residue levels. --Use cover crops. At planting: --Maintain sharp seed furrow openers. --Avoid coulters that can cause air pockets in the seed zone. --Don't hairpin residue; instead plant deeper. --Consider residue movers in uneven residue coverage. --Plant at the proper depth and in a uniform manner. --Consider planter attachments rather than tillage to dry wet soils.
