Yes we adding N too when the corn is above 6 leaves tall or taller it works great because it needs it then We are able to apply liquid manure before planting
Surely a technique of planting ready sprouted seed would be better for smaller sowing weather windows. Or is it too risky?
In theory it could be a decent idea, but you run into some logistical problems. You’d need space soil etc to get them all started, a new type of planter that could put them in the ground, And you’d also need a way to harden them off from indoors. Keep in mind the amount of plants you’d be dealing with, corn is 30,000+ plants per acre, and soybeans are 80k plus depending on spacing. So while it could work, it’d be very logistically challenging to bring it to fruition.
Don't worry it may not be you but your kids kids will hate you for doing this.
Yes but it's also horrible for erosion. Living soil or nothing. This Isn't the way. wrong.
Different types of tillage have different degrees of erosion vulnerability. Whether or not you have issues really just depends on your environment, soil, and previous crop residue. Tillage might be the way to go some places, and not in others, there’s just too many variables for one practice to somehow be best in every soil, every climate, every type of topography, and every crop.
Destroying what our great bison did for you over thousands of years. You think these great souls just appeared out of nowhere? STOP farming this way in 50 years there will be no soil left
When I first started entering the National corn contest making 200 bu in the 1960's, we planted in mid April. Now with Bt we plant mid May to make 300+ This later planting allows for a perfect stand and large ear formation during the longest days. Now we have long grain fill period hybrids to take advantage of our cool late Summer nights to make 62 lb test weight. We are in Texas half way between Wyoming and Houston. Because of 4,000' altitude and 35-36 latitude our sun energy is like fueling a top fuel dragster.
How about just do no till and cover crop and you can build soil instead of tilling it and washing it away
Nutrients are ineffective without the correct microbiology in the soil. Everytime you dig up the soil you kill off a lot of these organisms.
They dont have ruts they have roots
poison for your food
But how do you retain that moisture once you disturb it to place the nutrients a foot deep, especially if you get no rain?
Well you're doing it in the fall when that's less of an issue, so that it's already there in the summer when you're likely to be pressed for water.
Stop poisoning our food
Nobody is poisoning your food. Quit spreading nonsense.
Farmers are so removed from mechanical cultuvation they dont even know why its called smart weed. If you ever used a hoe you would know why.
1 problem was also damaging the mycelium networks...
Why till at all? No till works wonders. No chemicals either... get with the times people
It’s all pros and cons, no till works great in some areas terrible in others. All depends on the farm. Refusing to use chemical products is just stupid, it’s an incredibly useful tool that we have access to, and has been revolutionary.
Says someone who has never invested a lifetime and their families livelihood in no financial endeavor ever. Now go play some more x box
It’s the best way to grow crops
Carpetweed is what happens when I drop my grinder
Samesies
50 to 100 years ago? I hate to break it to you buddy but Farmers around me in Georgia are still plow in their fields
This is a great video for anyone who has a farm.
And she was Michigan's governor thank God not any more
It's time to stop growing these sh***y crops that are not good for human beings and raise cows on AMP pasture. You would have the best soil possible.
Stop tilling the soil so it blows and washes away into our waterways and eventually the gulf. It's now 2024 and the methods this video suggests is terrible advice for the record rains much of the midwest has been receiving. All of the agricultural inputs like fertilizers and fungicides are all now washing down the Mississippi.
No till just doesn’t work everywhere, and doing tillage doesn’t inherently meant you’re going to have erosion problems. Of course you’re more vulnerable to it, but depending on the conditions you’re working in it may not be a significant issue. There’s also a wide spectrum of tillage for different situations, lumping them all into one catagory is just not an honest way to represent the issue. As for “all of the inputs” washing down the river, that’s just not even close to true. For one of the 3 main applied nutrients, p and k aren’t even leachable, meaning that unless there’s erosion those aren’t going anywhere. Erosion can be prevented through covers, appropriate tillage practices, drain tile, waterways and terraces. Nitrogen is leachable, but it can also be managed in many ways. Applying according to your soils Cation exchange capacity, using nitrogen stabilizers, drain tile forces water through the soil profile instead of over it, meaning it filters out most everythjng that otherwise would’ve been washed out. Fungicides and herbicides are generally rainfast within hours, meaning that they are no longer vulnerable to washing away after that period.
I like the suggestion of cover cropping to keep the moisture and microbes in the soil. It looks like you need to learn about living soil methodologies that can increase the biological diversity and nutrients of the soil while also maintaining moisture.
Ya'll don't know nothin
I’m sure you know more than the agronomists who’ve been doing research plots and running an informational show for over 25 years.
We are putting 22 gallon of 28% on with precision conceal on both sides
Sounds like industrial agriculture is hard to solve with the assumptions you are operating under. Permacultural practices that create living soil don't require these ecologically damaging practices you seem to be confused about. The video looks like you are tilling a desert.
You do know that the field also needs something growing on it for anything you do to matter soil wise, otherwise it’s just washing away the organic matter you just got. But then again a lot of farmers do it like their daddy and don’t know why them salting the earth is making it less fertile and messing up ph 😅
Organic matter doesn’t just wash away… Nobody is salting the earth, or making their land less fertile, why would we damage the land that makes our living? We can see our fertility and PH levels through soil tests, if there were problems, we would know in a hurry.
It seems like we missed the conclusion.
No till, no chemicals, no monsanto
Takes time to switch over because equipment have lifetimes. We will most likely see more no till in the future but crimping equipment isn’t free.
I agree
Stop using toxic chemicals! Humans are so stupid.
Plowing and tilling along with crop rotation. Don't plant the same crop year after year. Stop growing soy and rapeseed/ canola. Grow crops that actually feed the country. Also stop using chemicals that kill the soil. Healthy soil along with crop rotation will greatly reduce diseases and pests. Use clover, or buckwheat as a cover crop to stop erosion when letting the land go fallow. Cattle can graze on the land adding nutrients to the soil. A lot of alternatives without being in debt to the big corporations. Stop buying gmo terminator seed every year. Government and corporations have destroyed the American family farm.
And if you go more than 100 years, you will get free labourers.
HE FORGETS TO MENTION THAT 100 YEARS AGO FARMERS PRACTICE A FARMING SYSTEM CALLED (ROTATING THE CROPS)!!😅
It's also edible.
Looks like the edible garden weed! Of course, I do not remember the name.
Isn’t that purslane? It’s edible, and doesn’t taste bad either in salads
I've seen it done every 2 years after corn here in west kentucky.
How do you get them down there
Ask them nicely
Look up no till farming and how it works
I think my hog manure is more effective placing it deeper with a soil warrior
Depends on what you're growing (as it can't come in contact with the produce). Duck pond water is amazing!
How many ducks do you suppose / pond? Dennis
Brian and Darren addressed your comment on Ag PhD Radio: on.soundcloud.com/81Nkd82EdoRN2MhQ6 (the link should take you to 3:06 within the 6/27/24 show).
Yeah, its less likely to leech…..
This is a helpful comparison between the two options, thanks
Exactly
in love with your videos
I just leave the dandelions. My kids love picking them. Plus, i dont have to worry about them rolling around in chemicals.
I'm feeling a bit torn and/or confused. I've watched a few of your shorts and this message seems contradictory. I thought I had strong opinions about round up and herbicides/pesticides in general..to the point where I completely avoid them in my garden. You seem very knowledgeable, so I won't pretend to know more than I do. That said, shouldn't we be trying to move away from these by now?
Well they’re very effective and useful tools to better manage crops, ignoring the potential would just be dumb. Applied responsibly the modern ones are essentially harmless
Q: Why do we need to know an insect in field is male or female Even its a male or female we just spray insecticide if it damaging the crop
I was told that when it is really hot day and night that you can stand in a corn field at night and actually hear the corn stalks stretching and popping while growing. This fella was talking about A farmer friends' place in Iowa. He also stated that at this time corn can grow up to 10 inches a day/night. Any conformation or is this a little exaggeration? I have noticed in July the corn grows pretty fast by me.
Roundup with AMS! It’s the best adjuvant and super inexpensive for spray grade.
I hope this is a joke
This Is rare
