Alternative Crops Manual - Wisconsin Corn Agronomy
http://corn.agronomy.wisc.edu/Crops/Default.aspx
Monday, August 22, 2016. Where science meets the field. This website contains the Alternative Field Crops Manual published in 1992. Its objective is to address the need for detailed information on the production of a number of agronomic crops adapted to the upper Midwest. The intent is to provide county extension agents and others in educational roles a concise, uniform source of information on those field crops which may be considered as alternatives to traditional farm commodities. Producer's resources...

Silage Management - Wisconsin Corn Agronomy
http://corn.agronomy.wisc.edu/Silage/S003.aspx
Monday, August 22, 2016. Where science meets the field. The objectives of tillage are to control weeds, level land, and loosen soil. A wide variety of tillage systems have been used to produce corn silage successfully. Traditional tillage systems incorporate nearly all crop residue while conservation tillage systems leave at least 30% of the soil surface covered by crop residue at planting. Special considerations for conservation tillage systems. Web resources for Wisconsin are maintained by Mike Rankin.

Monday, August 22, 2016. Where science meets the field. Originally written February 1, 2006 Last updated May 09, 2016. The Planting Process: What Really Matters? Uniform spacing requires perfect singulation and perfect seed placement. Misplaced, missing, and extra seed has relatively little impact on yield. Little yield improvement below plant spacing variability below 4 inches standard deviation. Key Success factors (% impact on yield). Correct population = 1-2%. Uniform spacing = 1-2%. Optimum row spac...
