Yesterday we attended a program put on by Linco-Precision. They put together one of the top one day meetings I have been to. One of the presentations was on seed emergence in corn. They presented data that suggests that the closer together in time that corn plants emerge for the soil, the better the yields. The research numbers were more than significant. One of the biggest factors controlling emergence was the evenness of soil moisture. They did not arrive at the same conclusion that I did, but they do tell you how to achieve results. It looks to me like you would be most likely to encounter even moisture conditions under No-Till or stale seedbed. Prairie Farmer entitled their article, No Ear Left Behind.
