If those seed stay incontact with soil and moisture theyll sprout and grow ive seen it many times and as you say rain with always wash a kittle soul to help seal that groove
Appreciate it Tony. Good honest farming . I bet.you get a good stand. Better to shallow than too deep. Joe from Mississippi. Learning from you every viedo.
Can beat your videos sir , I was born and raised on a farm in deer Grove IL and watching your videos is like talking to my family. Your realness is hard to beat . I watch and enjoy all them other guys but their "made for RU-vid " your sir are real as hell and I respect u for that . Good luck this season , we looking pretty good up this way so far
@@growincorn745 just stating facts man , it's refreshing to see a farming channel actually talk and act like a farmer .. well atleast a il farmer anyway lol
We farm in northeast Kansas. Lots of conventional tillage here, very similar soil and climate to you. We are 40" rain/year, and black silty loam, terraces and lots of trees. Western ks is a different story. Good video, thanks for taking us along.
I'm in Ohio, we have no tilled for years and I agree with you about the washouts, switched to strip till on corn and run vertical tillage on beans . I enjoy your tic toc, even though we ran gleaners for years.
2” here in central Indiana. We’ve got a lot of ponding. Guess I’ll be putting the corn discs back in and replanting once I’m done planting beans. Corn just on the verge of emerging and then get standing water on it. That’s how it goes in the rain belt.
Great points on no till for sure. Curious why you haven’t went away from the rubber closing wheels? We are 2-3 hrs E/NE of you and no till beans and conventional corn and have had great luck with furrow cruisers. Have a lot better luck closing the trench when it’s a little heavy like you were dealing with
yeah theres a few guys around here that no till beans that run those and they do look like they work nice, we normally dont have much problem with the rubber ones, if we done much more we'd probably look in to something like that, some years we no till close to 200 acres some years we may only do 80, just kinda depends on how the rotation falls.
We got 3 inches in NW Indiana May 9th , and a lot of guys no till around here ! We have more irrigation's in my county than any other county in Indiana . Lot of sandy ground in Hanna,IN
Everytime I listen to the weather and shallow it up never fails we miss the rain but we're up by lake Erie . I'm going to weld the depth control so I can't move it and let her roll . The wife and I Really like you videos.
Could you fill in that trench and then plant a cover plant along it that would allow you to no-till thru it but it would also provide erosion protection in that area?
I'm not arguing with you, but I've been no till and cover crop for 20 years, and in 2019, when no one could get in the fields until June, I sailed right through it. We run 2-3 weeks behind everyone else because we're certified organic, and it gives the covers a) a chance to be grazed and that forage has a tremendous dollar value, b) more time to convert sunlight into nutrients and bank it down into the soil. c) we avoid drift from conventional fields. I never have, nor will I ever have to put in a foot of drainage tile. It can rain for 3-4 days straight and we'll never have even a mud puddle. It doesn't come right away, the 1st 5 years are tough, quite frankly, but you'll see improvement every year but at year 5 and 10, you would not believe you ever did it any other way, and by year 15, you'll be within 10% of the yields of your conventional neighbors, and that's planting 94-95 day corn and .9 to 1.4 beans. You do have to plant late, throwing in those early finishers in April will cost you the 10% in yield AND they won't finish in the time they will supposed to, they will hang on and soak up those longer days of sunshine, even though none of it will go to your yield. You do grow more leaves I guess, for whatever that's worth. Their are a lot of misconceptions about the advantages too. I'm a nervous Nellly about getting products sold before I even plant them. This year, the guys hauling conventional to the elevator will probably be getting more money per bushel than I will get for my certified organics. I got nervous and pulled the trigger, over, and over, and over. Their are other long term disadvantages you'll never get past. TIME being the main one. I had to increase capacity to insane levels because I just can't take a month to plant, and a month to harvest. I have DAYS, not weeks, because I have to turn everything back around and get the next crop going. That capacity is not cheap! I have the better and the biggest of everyone around me. BUT, that does open up some opportunity when combined with your different panting schedule. I have quite a few guys sold on the idea of letting me tear through with two 90" planters at 10 mph and plant all their soybeans on 20's, same pop as they did on their 30's, but with a lot more room in the row for the beans to stretch their feet and produce more pods. I think within the next couple of years, we'll settle in at about 8k acres of custom bean planting.
