[QUOTE="CornishTone, post: 4934050, member: 4147"] In my experience Maize, a bit like fodder beet, is easy to grow but difficult to grow well. It’s about attention to detail and sticking to the rule book. If you break the rules or drop the ball the crop will punish you mercilessly! At the end of the day maize is a Mediterranean plant being grown in a non-Mediterranean climate. Breeding and Genetics can do so much, pumping plenty of DAP into it can do a bit more, but it is what it is. Above all it needs heat units to thrive and these can be scarce in your location KP and the UK. I know one or two where having a bash with strip till maize when I left... but I left so didn’t see the results. In theory it should work! [/QUOTE]
