Thanks for the update.. nature always finds away to recover...
Our corn has been planted for a week. Haven't seen any sprouts yet, but haven't been back to check yet today. There wasn't a whole lot of early corn here that pulled through the cold rainy weather we had for the last month.
Way ahead of us from southern Indiana. Just got our corn in four days ago. I think it will be better in the long run as we missed the cold rainy week if we had been a week earlier.
Hi there, for fun I planted some corn a few weeks ago. I've been very careful to keep the tiny corn stalks watered ( they are about 3 to 4 inches high right now ) ..... but.... I noticed your soil looks to be bone dry..... seeing this, does corn really need much water at all ? I'm guessing not. Maybe you can talk about this in a little video, or just a quick reply here. Just came across your channel this morning, really awesome ! Thank you for sharing. chef Mark over at BakelikeAPro RUclips channel.
+BakeLikeAPro Hey Mark, corn is actually a pretty water intensive plant, but early on they don't require as much. Another factor about the soil in the video is that crusts often form making the soil look very dry, but underneath there is definitely moisture, just not so much that it's muddy. As long as you don't have standing water with your plants they should be fine, they're pretty resilient!
Ryan, You might pick up an old 30' trailer or 3 point sprayer cheap. It would work to sidedress the 2 ft tall corn with 28# of N using drop pet hoses. We use 32% with some thiosul added as a way to protect the N. You could get your yield to 200 + bu. In Texas we put our last N on the last of Aug after milk stage... but our yield goal is 100 bu above yours because of our 4,000 ft elevation and using 111 day maturity corn..
Ryan u guys should consider putting on a liquid starter in the row an a two by two an u will c a vary big jump in yields especially with starter it helps get it going fast!!
I'm sure they bounced back
You just got out of college. You will understand how to make more each year as you hone the little thing that make a difference. Close to 190 bu./ac. right out of college is on your way. I remember the first year out of college my 400 acres of corn made 167 average.
I didn't realize you lived in Wisconsin I and my family live in Indiana I also have a grandma and Grandpa that own a farm were they raise cows and sheep and do lot of crops
looks asif you a good stand of corn wouldn't worry to much it come out what going on with it looks good.
ya Ryan I'm having trouble with weather too. I planted new hay seed this yr and I planted 2 weeks ago and its just starting to come up. it's so dry few sprinkles that's it for past 8 days and no rain in site. I'm worried I just planted my corn I wanted till I got warmer and no 32 degree nights.
Have you ever tried adding liquid mid season. We put 28% down with drop nozzles around the fourth of July. The nitrogen becomes available right about the time the plant is making ears. The result is massive ears and big tonnage but all our corn is for dairy silage. I would think you would get the same result with ripe corn
Our corn here in NC is close to 3' tall.
in the netherlands we have crazy weather as well, mostly at night it rains and we have thunder andon daytime the sun goes like crazy, everything grows so fast now😂
Planted with the new planter?
My corns doing the same thing
Corn in Western Ky is 3 ft tall already
looked like there were quite a few skips and doubles. I wondering if you could eventually compare planters later on with the rest of the corn up. Though some of those skips could have been weather related.
I noticed the uneven stand also. If the plants are closer than 5 inches it is trying to be a weed. The 6 row planter was going faster than the new 12 row so the later corn might have a uniform stand.
corn doesn't start showing nutrient deficiency until R4 R5 stage actually.
have you tried direct seeding? In Brazil, this practice is widespread.
What is the distance between the rows? Here in Danmark its 75cm/29,5 inches.
And why do you apply the fertilizer before planting? If you do it while planting you will place the fertilizer right next/under to the seeds and they will have acces to it right away+ you dont give N to the weeds between the rows. Ofc you will spray the weeds out, but placing the fertilizer while planting is the best way to get the most out of it.
Any feedback on the quick roots?
Ryan i c u have keaton seed fermers on the planter if they have the liquid tube on them that's where u can hook up the starter at if no hose on them then their the standard fermer but still able to ring liquid on with them!!
In the future with computer aid we will be putting starter between the seed placement. This will allow for larger than 2 or 3 gal that is the limit now in the furrow. The cold soil needs a high P level near the small plants.
Did you do quick roots on this field? Do you expect it to up your average?
can you talk about the magic of the green grassy stripes in your fields? what are they for? or is there already a video about them i have missed so far? thanks ryan!
the green grassy stripes are for erosion control. it helps to slow down the run off of water.
thank you very much! :-) makes sense
+calypsosoca yeah like Matthew said. The area where the grass is planted is where water natural flows, and the grass keeps the soil from washing away. If there was no grass the water would keep eroding the soil away which would create a trench given enough time.
The corn residue from the year bf will not bother his next year crop bc it will deteriorate/burn up buy fall all that residue is good for the ground!! The yellowness in his corn could be from no in furrow starter fertilizer thus u have a slow growing corn plant until it reaches the 2x2 fertilizer that they dont put down either!! It will take awhile to get to the fertilizer that was broadcasted but when it does it will take right off!!
Not necessarily. We use manure from our pigs and have never used starter and our corn has never been yellow at emergance
Ryan how old is the 4020
Down here in Texas they create rows with the dirt and plant on those. Why do you plant without hipped rows?
He just uses a disc when before planting his corn, I guess some sort of field cultivaror or dedicated hilling tool is used to hipp the rows in Texas? Or does the planter do it with some kind of seedbed preparation tool?
Yes, there is a tool called a "hipper" that pulls actual planning rows higher than normal and the crop is planted on that.
Cool. But is is necessary for corn? What does it do for the plant?
They do it for all row crops. I think because of flatter land here in the south so the plants do not drown.
That makes sense if you're living somewhere where it rains a lot, I suppose.

Ryan, I was looking around at all of the "trash" (corn stalks, etc.) in the field. If there is that much on the ground this season will there come a time after multiple seasons of this much "trash" that you have to deep till some of it under? With it laying up on top of the ground it would seem that it wouldn't deteriorate and would just keep building up until planting would become impossible. I haven't seen a bottom plow or any other implement that would really bury the trash on the 'How Farms Work' farm.. Or, will it just be OK from year to year? Thanks Ryan or anyone who has thoughts for a non farmer like me. :)
Both discing and chiselling buries the stalks, to some extent. Probably enough to ensure the stalks break down fast enough not to pile up, or they would have piled up years ago. What I would be most worried about is the crop residues spreading diseases, as they seem to be growing corn on corn consecutively in some fields.
TheodorEriksson I guess what made me ask the question about the corn residue was the abundance of completely round stalks that appeared to be 5 to 8 inches long. It just looked like a lot to me. The idea of the diseases seems to be a logical concern because my little experience shows the farmer I watch rotating his corn, cotton and peanuts yearly.
A good crop rotation is definitely important. Only growing 2 or 3 crops is a lot less than I'm used to from here in Sweden, many farmers will grow 3 or 4 grains, pasture, and often more crops like legumes or oil rape too. Sometimes they grow things like potatoes and sugar beets, too. Crop rotations are often 5-7 years or even more. It has all kinds of beneficial effects, if you know in what order to grow which crops. For organic agriculture or when you for other reasons want to minimize crop inputs (like economy!) it's super important to lessen the pressure from disease and pests.
TheodorEriksson Like I have said, the farmers here in East Central Georgia, USA usually only grow corn, cotton and peanuts. Some grow wheat in the winter and I guess it is to make a little money for cash flow and maybe as you suggested as a crop rotation. I think that most don't grow wheat because they can't depend on getting it out of a field where their usual plan is to grow the crops I already mentioned. The farmer I most often watch allowed some carrot farmers to lease some of his land but it only lasted one season because rain made if difficult for them to vacate the field. Thus my friend farmer was unable to plant his regular rotation crops.
On the Southern US high plains in Texas we do a lot of corn on corn. Some rotate to cotton or seed for Pioneer or Monsanto grain sorghum hybrid production. As far as yield go it is better to go with corn every year because it yields the most. There are fields that have been in corn for 40 years There is no reason to rotate as far growing wheat or legumes because of the low price.. There are massive feed lots that need corn. We have to ship wheat to California 2,000 miles for export and Soybeans to Kansas City to the Mississippi river 500 miles East. Houston and Corpus are 650 miles to the SE.
Are you sure you aren't related to the Hefty brothers?
I have no idea who that is.
The Hefty brothers do a very informative show on the science of growing, fertilizing, and pesticide tips for growing crops weekly on their show 'Ag PhD' on RFD-T.V. and also a radio broadcast. They live in South Dakota, check them out Ryan.....if you have the time. Enjoy watching your How Farms Work channel, thanks.
I really enjoy that show as well.
2500farmboy yours isnt yellow bc u put hog manure down an that is high un nitrogen
Most of my corn got eaten by crows
+Down on the Model Farm I don't really have the time to do that
But does anyone know a way to keep them from eating it?
How much are you growing? If you're growing acres of it I'm very surprised crows can make a dent in it. If you're growing corn in your garden, try putting some sort of scarecrow up (hanging old CDs up from nearby trees and similar is supposed to scare away both birds and deer), or covering the plants in some sort of netting or dedicated cloth. I believe they're refererred to as "row covers". I assume you're having the problems when the corn is reaching maturity?
+TheodorEriksson it's around 11 acres and when the corn gets about as big as it is on this video they pull it out of the ground and eat the seed
Weird! No idea how to help you with that, except maybe that if you started hunting there regularly they might decide to look for food somewhere else. Toguh luck on that, I've no idea how to really solve that problem at that scale.
what kind of car do you drive Ryan?
+Abu Mohammad Khasawneh I drive a 2007 Pontiac Torrent. I really like it.
+How Farms Work THOSE CARS ARE RARE!!
+How Farms Work AND COOL!
+How Farms Work best wishes for you and your family
Can you make a video of what kind of cars you and your family own, please?
