Do you treat your winter covers as cash crops?..our results have seen that if we treat our cover crops like we are gonna harvest them in the fall they come out of dormancy with more energy giving us more coverage sooner while also giving our corn an abundance of upfront nutrients produced by the biology while the covers we have terminated along with our at planting applications are being broken down and made available to the plant...we have been growing tobacco the last 2 years with no fungicide or insecticide in this program only concentrating on feeding the biology and letting them put Gods natural defenses in place!!!... keep up the good work Cody!..I always look foward to your videos to see what kind of cool and exciting things your doing next!!!...may the Lord God Jesus continue to bless you on your path to share the truth!!!
That land is low quality and getting worse, baling corn stalks, killing microbes with UREA, and spraying poisons on it. Why is there no vetch low in the wheat? No occasional rows of cover crop cocktails in the wheat? Add some diversity and natural nitrogen. How about a full season cover crop mix of many species on 10% of the field for 10 years until every part gets one? You just are not trying much to improve the land especially if you baled the wheat straw. Do some research on soil health.
There was a very diverse cover crop seeded after the wheat. It was a 15 way mix with many different overwintering species and legumes. The cornstalks were taken off prior to us taking over the land. A full season cover would have been great as well but the location of this farm limits our ability to get there to manage livestock on it and we would still have to pay a rent payment. Thank You for your comments though. I don't disagree with most of them completely but you also cannot crash the system by abruptly pulling out all the crutches at one time... We choose to start with removing tillage and adding diversity while lowering synthetics in comparison to what's been done in the past.
@@jefferysaylor6758 we will be doing a follow up video here shortly. You should know that if we weren’t farming this land it would still be on a full tillage system with no cover crops. But you should know in Minnesota the growing season does not end with the first killing frost... and the next cask crop was planted and it’s still green from last years cover crops...

Yes! it always pays to treat your covers as a cash crop!!!
Sooo how did the 44 inch corn turn out ??
Did you do some light incorporation after you broad casted the wheat?
Yes, I forgot to mention that. It was incorporated with a Salford VT
What do you get for yield on spring wheat
This was right at 50 bpa. Depending on the year we can get a wide range of yields but 40-65 will cover a large majority in our area.
