Broadcasting Soybeans No-Till vs Tilling 

Nice work! Nice to see you and your Dad working together on the project.

Great job showing the difference. I've been doing the no till just because of lack of equipment. Looking forward the continued update.

Really like the side by side comparison of no till vs. tilled beans. Clearly a huge difference

This is very interesting and helpful for small scale farmers without equipment, especially in rural Africa. I'm going to try it.

Great video. The ones will follow up results are the best. You should do one outlining your farm and overall plan with aerials

last couple years i have been buying hay and spreading over my seed beds works really good

Nice great to see you got another video up

That looks like such fun!

Nice work!

You make awesome videos, I’m in Louisiana and the soil is terrible. Gonna start trying no till

I told you last year I finally got my tractor and disc and plow and now everybody's leaning towards the No till I'm trying some myself this year with buckwheat first I'll bet you know how it goes brother

Maybe late summer you can over seed your winter rye into those soy beans on your first year plot and create a good foundation for a no till operation next year. I think once you start establishing a good no chill practice you’re going to find just as much success without destroying your soil structure.

Check out Gabe brown no till they use it for a few thousand acre farm. Cover crop rotation for soil health looks really easy to put in place for food plot program. Great vid keep em coming!

I tie a wooden fence post to the harrow . makes it heavier and 1 or 2 trips does the trick

With soybean sitting on top of the soil and rye on top. What is the germination rate?

Great job but throwing out the beans by hand in head high wheat dosen't give a good comparison

Been a tough year. Dry as hell. Did you pull a soil sample? Curious why you didn’t fertilize. What about lime?

After you broadcast and drag it, do you spray weed kill?

Soil temp. Buy a long term thermometer that takes a sample every day (hours) that plugs into USB. Put that under the thick layer of duff. I bet it takes weeks before the temp under there gets up to the temp of the exposed dirt. That's a good thing long term though as it keeps moisture maintained.

Great video. Both plots look great. Is your drag home-made or did you purchase that? I have about two acres of buckwheat that will need to be terminated in a few weeks and I didn't purchase a cultipacker yet. Wondering what my options are? I do have a drag harrow, but whatever you were pulling looked pretty solid.

How old are brassicas when you start seeing signs of fertilizer deficiency's?

Add weight and it will require fewer trips around. Bailing wire and cinder blocks.

I really like your videos. It's cool seeing how much you already know about this process. I think you're figuring out what works and what doesn't through personal experience and there's nothing better than that! To avoid patches with no seed, get a tow-behind broadcaster like the Brinly 175...so much easier! Tilling kills your soil biota. In years with normal moisture, no-till is just as good, but really builds your soil. Corn, soybeans and straight brassica mixes are OK, but a highly diverse fall plot would do so much more for your soil and the wildlife. This video shows how both methods work, but it doesn't show what's going on under the soil. Did you feel the temperature of that open ground on the tilled plot? Wonder why nothing is growing there? Keep working through all of this in your head and I think you'll eventually come to realize that those discs represent a short-term gain in aesthetics, but a long-term loss in both soil and food plot quality.

Hey man. How much rye did you put down per acre for that?

How did you start the field?

Winter rye or what type

you can use a drone to seed it works better.

Nice cover crop,but poison spray makes no sense.

Hey bud if you get a chance reach out too John komp of nortwoods whitetails great person too deal with will always answer your questions and help you out and most of all his seeds are on the money no fillers you get what you pay for

What state are you in?

If you will walk through and seed the soybeans into the rye and get a rain and germination before laying the rye over you might have better results.

Just remember, no till no yield!

Looks Like you don't know how to NO TILL CORRECTLY. ...
