Dang it, I was hoping to have some of the only corn in the county - was looking forward to drawing all the deer to my patch :laugh:
Looks like a good spot!

Looks good. It's awful late in the year,is it a short maturity variety? hope it keeps raining!! Deer love them yellow acorns!
Looks good. That's some wide rows. We did ours on 20 inches.

Old timers around here say get in the ground by July 4th and you'll have "hard corn" before the first frost. I tempted fate and did it on July 9th one year. No issues.

Those old sayings usually right.
I've always been told knee high by 4th of July.

How do you like the IH 900 planter? I've seen a few on Craig's list. I kinda think I want to wait on a pull-type, no till planter.

Yep, that is going to be my next move - No Till. I have a conventional 2 row John Deere planter that will probably make its way to the Classifieds eventually. I haven't even priced the No Tills though.
Yep I have a 3 row john deer 3 point planter. No til is my next want. LOL We planted some the weekend before july the 4th a couple years back and no problems. Remember AHall and me are further south than most of you guys.

I bought a two row no-till AC planter two summers ago and it ran me a grand - I priced them and I ended up finding one for a grand so I jumped on it. Havent even used it yet but I know in years to come it will get lots of use!

There's a group of guys from Batesville, MS (20 minutes from Oxford) that sales 2, 4, and 6 row planters cut down from big 12-plus row planters. They list on Craigslist in North Mississippi. I have yet to jump on one because I want a hydraulic pull-type no till.

8 row John Deere 7100 planters are going real cheap in the West Tennessee area since most farmers have gone to 12 row and larger
average cost for a John Deere 7100 8 row planter is $800.00 to $1000.00

I planted some corn last year on the 4th and it made some good ears but we also had a pretty cool/wet summer last year. I wouldn't be afraid to do it again.
I bought a 7100 6 row for a grand a few years ago. I basically cut the tool bar in half and made a 15" 5 row no till planter. I basically re-did everything on the planter and it works great.
