I grew corn for more than 20 years, and since the 1980s, the plots have been changed three times and the varieties have changed two or three generations。Corn cultivationIt's about fighting for time and strength. The price of fertilizer and pesticides has risen over the years, and the benefits of growing corn have been completely different from those of a decade ago, and many old people are wondering whether the job is worth it。
When does corn grow
On this side of the river, maize cultivation is generally stuck between the end of april and mid-may. Don't worry, just look at the ground and throw the seeds. Last year, my neighbor's house planted a seed in mid-april, and it was freezing at night, and the seedlings came out and died, and it took time to replant. My experience is to wait for the temperature to stabilize at more than 12 degrees, the most stable in early may. A nice piece of land can be a little early, but don't be greedy。
One year i was 10 days late, and it was not until early june that i planted it, and the corn pecked into the sky, and it rained for three days, and all the ears were in the earth, and an acre received 200 pounds less. The time cannot be delayed, but it cannot be rushed forward. Every year i measure the temperature of the ground before and after the light, and the earth's thermometer is inserted into 10 centimetres deep, measured three days in the morning, stabilizing the date。
How can corn grow be inverted
Falling is the worst problem in corn growing. There was a wind in my land at the end of august, before the fall harvest, and the 60 acres of corn on the east side were all over the ground, and the machine couldn't go in there, all by hand, bent around for eight hours a day. Then i changed my approachThe density's down by 200 from the year beforeIt's 60 centimeters wide, it's deep, and this year it's just a few pieces down。
One more thing. Don't put all the weight on top of the ground. And the way i do it is to plough it into the ground, and then fill it with short and thick, and it's not easy to fall. It doesn't cost much, but..That's not the pointI don't know. Saved 20 or 30 dollars and lost a hundred pounds at the fall harvest。
It's the most honest thing in the world. You trick it. There are no shortcuts to maize cultivation, which is heaven, earth and nature, and which is finer every year. As long as people are not lazy or stubborn, they can still get back thousands of dollars。
