[QUOTE="terra8186, post: 671681, member: 8649"] Thanks for this information. I never really knew how much to put down. I am only growing a couple of acres of corn., so the plants are all right next to each other. My original post may sound like I am complaining about how my corn is doing. After the last 2 years attempts to grow corn, this is the first year my corn is actually doing good. It was knee high 2 days ago now that we had some heat it has grown another foot or two. The second part of my post was about how when I planted this year, I didn't think I would see that much affects of the manure on the corn. I was amazed at the difference in the initial ground & fertilizer preparation made a difference. I also didn't think it would make that much of a difference on the growing corn if I removed the cornstalks and just put down fertilizer back in the soil. It makes me think that bailing cornstalks is a bad practice unless you return manure and straw to the area. It seems like the organic material from the cornstalks makes a difference. Jim that Morrow study sounds interesting. Thanks for responses [/QUOTE]
