The Huntley F.F.A. Chapter had a field day for farmers on Nov.
 ,   1963  during  the  afternoon
starting at 1:00. The basic portion of the field day was the picking of the corn, and the observing of the soil after the year of being in minhnum tillage. The chapter has computed the different figures on tlhc com'entional and mimimum til¬ lage acres. There were 7 plots. Plot A was a plot with no compar¬ ison to miminum tillage. This plot was conventional. It yield was 83.8 bu. per acre with the moisture beix«2 2.6%,
The next two plots B and C Were set up as a comparison. B plot was conventional with 53 Bu. per acre and 22.61% moisture, where as C had 93.7 Bu per acre at 20.5% moisture. C was a mini¬ mum tillage plot. D and E plots were also set up in a comparison. Plot D was minimum tillage, and it had 94 Bu. per acre at 19,9% moisture. Plot E in comparison to D, was conventional, and it had 67 Bu. per acre at 22.9% moisture.
The sod ground where we planted com showed that the conventional out yealded the minimum tillage com. TMs was due to the poor stand of com in the minimum tillage oom in the plot. The min¬ imum tillage plots showed a defin¬ ate advantage in yeald over all other conventional plots. We do realize part of the loy yield wi the conventional com plots was due to poor weed control. Ihe minimum tiMage plots hod no weeds where AhrazJne was used as a weed con¬ trol.
The Com from the minimum til¬ lage plots had an average % of moisture content of 20.5%. The com from the conventimial plots had an average % of moisture ' content of 22%. The average price per Bu. of minimum tillage oom was 98c per bu^el of com soM, while the average price pare bush¬ el of the conventional com was 95c per bUshel of com sdd. All plots received the same fertiliz¬ er appBcaitlon and was the same kind of com.
A more detailed part of this part of the demonstration will appear in the Farmmde at a later date.
