Direct Drill Maize Planting In New Zealand

Its a little but later than usual this year due to all the wet weather but I'm happy to be getting it in the ground.
This is my 3rd year direct drilling my maize and I think im onto a winner, all the prep before planting was right and I think has to limit problems that have arisen in the past around slugs etc.
New maize planter does such an awesome job to!

Hopefully you will have more than enough Sweetcorn to keep you all happy and enough maize to keep the cows happy too. 😊

Hallo. Watching all your videos. All the way from south africa….Springboks😂. Farming with appels and pears. +- 300 Ha. Glad you mentioned the slug bait price. Also very expensive on this side! Keep it up!

Over Ngahinapouri way, the maize in the neighbours paddock is just showing through after the recent 10mm rain since the weekend. You should see yours quite soon with the damp soil.

That does look like great planting conditions.
Variety trials are so important but what a bloody nuisance!
