[QUOTE="Tom H, post: 6785762, member: 216"] I haven't read the whole thread. We grow a big chunk of maize on the heaviest of soils. It's down to set up and management. We grow a lot of 150-180 FAO varieties (every 10 FAO is roughly a week later). They would be classed as super early. Started this year the second week of September, Finished first week of October (570ha). Averaged 46t/ha @32 DM. Other than FAO the second most import factor is not using a plough! It makes the soil structureless and very soft. You make a mess harvesting if it's wet. Plus erosion is bad. We had great results with two stage strip till this year with the Sly strip-cat. All maize is followed with a winter wheat (not this year. Not a seed planted in any form) We don't make a mess harvesting, having the right kit helps too. [/QUOTE]
