Pumping 8 Million Gallons of Dairy Manure - In this week's video, we're applying liquid manure to our fields. Manure is used as fertilizer to grow crops that we'll harvest as forage for our cows.

Hi Piet, its all over the news about the bird flu affecting dairy productions in the USA. It would be appreciated if you could talk about that and what you intend to do to mitigate the problem on your own farm. As always thanks for the video.😀👍

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

I think our farm is very low risk. We don't have cows coming to our farm, we're a closed herd. We're not near other dairy farms and bird migration is over in our area.

Just caught up , I’d be interested in the longevity of the application hose, soil will wear anything out and I know that hose can’t be cheap. Also fun fact : my grandfather on my dads side immigrated from Norway thru Ellis Island with 6 children and was sent to North Dakota where my father was born, two years later they moved to Oregon and eventually my father began farming in the Willamette Valley. I grew up farming row crops and today farm 7600 acres of grass seed and Hazelnuts. The dairy industry is far more complex than I remember it in the 70s when I was a high schooler, your operations are quite impressive as is your family’s journey to get where you are now.. God bless your family..

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 25 дней назад

I'm not sure on the longevity, it seems like they cut the end off on occasion, but I've never seen them replace a whole hose while working on our farm. It would be interesting to see your farm, thank you for sharing!

Very interesting and a good explanation!

@keithvanpolen9049 Месяц назад

Very impressive!! Another great video!

Thank you!

GOOD AFTERNOON 👍

Nice vidio ❤👍👍👍

Sure does save on fertilizer costs good deal 😊

That's a lot of poop. Nice drone shots and explanations.

Thank you!

Piet if you had to plant corn asap after manure application like that how long does it take to dry back down to be fit to work and plant? Loved the drone shots!

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

It depends on the weather, but at least 5 days is ideal.

@billymc1628 Месяц назад

The 2 tanks are able to hold a years amount of manure? Awesome process

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

In total we can store about 15 months worth of manure once we remove the dike in-between those two storage ponds I talked about in the video.

@user-gg3qe1xd5s Месяц назад

Long is the hose they use? 700 acres could be 1/2 mile from the pit. Just curious. It great very efficient and less compaction than with tanker spreading.

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

The can add as much hose as they need to reach the field we want to spread on. We've spread 4 miles from the farm before, they just add boost pumps in-between.

@jerseyscows8553 Месяц назад

Salut, pas trop de neige et de froid cette hiver ? Vous faites 2 années de suite du maïs ou plus ?

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

No, we had a very mild winter here. Yes, we'll grow corn for more than 2 years in a row. We don't have a specific rotation we're following, but we would like to move towards more rotation if we can make it work.

@elvareyvindsson5111 Месяц назад

Hi, interesting video. How do you seal these ponds? Plastic or just earth sealing?

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

They have a clay liner that was tested for permeability prior to use. We also have ground water monitoring wells that are tested by the state annually.

@albertjohnsonjr.2311 12 дней назад

Does the liquid irrigate the land in any appreciable way as water or is it only a medium for the stuff in the manure to enter the soil?

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 8 дней назад

It's mainly just a medium to carry the nutrients in the manure.

@CarlBaltus-cw3dq Месяц назад

12000 gallons to the acre plus solid manure how does that look on your 590 program??

@theduke131 Месяц назад

🤭🤭🤫🤫🤫

@theduke131 Месяц назад

You sound like DEQ. Mind your business and enjoy the video. 🐓🍭 😖😖 I'm Carl I'm a Smarty Pants 😖😖 Carry on 🐔💩

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

We're applying based on soil tests, manure fertilizer values and estimated crop needs. We're audited yearly by the state for compliance.

@chadcraun7445 Месяц назад

So you dont put any commercial fertilizer, specifically nitrogen on your corn?

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

No, all of nitrogen needs are coming from liquid manure.

@chadcraun7445 Месяц назад

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 I can't get a good crop if I don't put urea down. I have a lot of hills and feel like mine all runs off in rain storms

Hi Piet. 10c in Montreal at 12:35 pm. "I love the smell of Poop in the morning !!" How is Mama Bedaf and Little Miss Alyse doing today ( did I spell her name correctly? )

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

Elise and mama are both doing good!

@jimb7978 24 дня назад

how many cows do you milk??

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 24 дня назад

1600 cows.

@engbertdijkstra6242 Месяц назад

12000 gallon per acre. Is dat 120 m4 per ha Of reken ik nier goed. Ljjkt mijn wel veel. 50 tot 60 is al heel.wat

@Oak_Hollow Месяц назад

It's only about 3 gallons per square meter.

@DaveG7920 Месяц назад

Don't forget American gallons are little gallons

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

We're applying based on soil tests, estimated crop fertilizer needs and fertilizer value of the manure. If we applied less we could be limiting yield.

@snail1937 15 дней назад

You’re a little to high, it’s 110m3 🙈 But it also depends on the nitrogen and phosphate levels in the liquid manure. I would be surprised about those numbers with the open lagoons. Especially due to dilution (rain)

@freddylove9914 Месяц назад

WHERE ARE YOU AT Location

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Месяц назад

In east central north dakota.

@patmcdonald766 25 дней назад

we need (USA) a maximum of 999 cattle per farm per county. TOO much and time to spread the pollution across multiple counties. In fact, the farmer should get credit for fewer cattle, horses, buffalo, pigs, chickens, sheep. Then the USDA can all GO AWAY and let the farmers be US Citizens only.

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 25 дней назад

Can I ask if there's something in particular we're doing with our nutrient application that you don't like? The how, when, where and how much fertilizer we're applying is more closely regulated than any other farm in the state using commercial or organic fertilizer. The majority of people in the US are here because of immigration. We just happened to come generations later than most. There was a need and an opportunity for us and we took the risk to start a farm here. In my opinion, that's what America is all about.

@patmcdonald766 24 дня назад

@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 are you becoming a US Citizen? I think we allow too many animals on a farm everywhere not just YOUR farm. I live south and in MINNESOTA so envy of your taxes there.

@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 24 дня назад

@patmcdonald766 I'm a naturalized US citizen, the rest of my family are not US citizens.
