Thank you for putting these videos up. I am a Research Support Scientist for the University of Idaho. I work with a lot of dairymen in Southern Idaho. It's really nice to see the implementation of liquid injection. We have only a few dairyss that do it here
i was a little hesitant at first to watch your video. it is hard to get into a video when it's non English . but I'm ashamed to say your english is better than my New England way of talking....... like your video. can't wait to see more
Nice video again Piet with appreciated detailed explanation! Similar method used in NL, but transported over significant longer distances I guess. Nice to use the available liquid and solid manure from your cows and barns in best possible manner. Particular to apply in spring, allowing for best effect/efficiency, saving lots of (particular this year very) costly artificial fertilizer, and further reducing the impact on the environment and conserve the soil, without heavy thanks running over the corn land causing compaction, and dirt etcetera. I wonder what it means for energy used for the transport, via rather wide hoses (12 inch?) rather call it high pressure pipes? compared to transport via large tanks requiring lots more personnel I guess? Thanks for showing and sharing to global community! Enjoy spring in the US, hope it all looks good.
New follower here. Big farm. Are your manure spreaders your people or outside contractors? I follow Sask Dutch kid, 10th Gen, Tom Pemberton, Larsen and Cole the cornstar. Your is the biggest farm. Appreciate your hard work. Rick Rimmer. 77 year old still working.
New subscriber. I used to work in ND. Love the state and it people, especially the dairy farmers I worked with. Your operation is medium sized now. Dramatic changes in the dairy industry since I grew up in saw Wisconsin. I have a small farm in Iowa and just love being on the land. Does the wet manure solids ever cause SCC issues for you?
We will have around 25 million gallons of liquid manure per year. We typically spread in the spring and the fall but we have storage capacity for over a year.
New subscriber here from the NL. Sorry for asking, but is this your own setup, or a hired operation? And I don't see any strain relief on the hose. Doesn't this put a lot of pressure on the coupling with the injector? realy nice footage, especially with the drone.
This is a hired operation, these guys have been applying our manure since 2009. I'm not sure about your question on strain relief, they don't seem to have any issues with the coupling that I know of. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for sharing 👍. Just curious how much nitrogen dose that manure contain? And will you still need to apply chemical nitrogen later ? Where I am farming in Ireland liquid manure would generally contain approx 9 to 12 units of nitrogen and we would rarely spread more than 3000 uk gallons (13500 liters) per acre.
Our manure will have around 17 to 18 lbs of N per 1000 gallon. We're shooting for about 225lbs of N per acre if we're planting corn. We may add fertilizer with the planter if needed, but that depends what the soil samples show.
The one in the video is 10 million gallons. We have close to 30 million gallons of storage total, or 1 to 1.5 years of storage. This gives us flexibility to apply manure when conditions are right.
@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 wat zijn de gehalten in de mest? Zelf werk ik bij een loonwerker/mest transporteur in Noord Nederland. Ik vind zulke info daarom altijd wel interessant. Bij ons zit koemest op 1.5 kg P/ton en 4.5 kg N/ton en 5 kg K/ton
We applied for and received an E 2 visa. We dairy farmed in Canada for 8 years prior to moving to the USA. It's difficult to fully answer in a comment, I plan to have a video on this at some point. It would not have been possible for our farm in Canada to support multiple families, it is possible here with similar investment into the farm. It is also difficult having a large investment into quota knowing the quota system could be dissolved at anytime. No matter where you are farming, to be successful long term you need to be competitive quota or not.
@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 thank you for your answer yes so true quote really doesn't have no real value time you pay for the quote in 10 years you're only getting about 22 cents a litre truly one of the best scams ever thought of
The application rate is based off of the nutrient samples of the manure, the nutrient samples of the soil and the nutrient requirements of the next crop that will be grown.
Thanks for your answer Mr van Bedaf. We did the same as you. For example if we plant wheat than we need ~ 210 kg nitrogen per Hektar to harvest 8 Tonnes with ~ 12% Protein. You have 40 kg mineralisation. Than you spread 30 Kubikmeter Liquid Manure with 2 kg yousabale Nitrogen/m³ makes 60 kg nitrogen. In total 100 kg now. The rest 110 kg you spread perhapps urea. Thats it. What will you plant there?
@@jung_landwirt7875 These fields will be planted to corn for silage next spring. Most of the nutrients needed will come from the manure, when needed a liquid fertilizer will be put on with the corn planter while planting corn.
Thanks will you plant some cover crops? And can you perscrip why you have emigrated in a Video. Or take a link in the coment? Greatings from Southern Germany
@@jung_landwirt7875 Our growing season is typically too short to establish cover crops after corn Silage. We've tried Interseeding cover crops in the corn on a small scale with limited success, but didn't this year because it was too dry. I plan to talk more about our reason for immigrating to the US in a future video. Thanks for the comments!

Well I'll be dipped! The amount of pucky to just fill the line is staggering.... you have a lot of manure my friend!
Great video. Very informative and great stewardship of your land and operation.
Thank you!

Thanks for watching! Injecting liquid manure works well for us and we've seen several benefits.

Thanks for watching!
Friends of mine have a drag line company and pump a lot of manure! They have a Nhun Lagoon Crawler and it works very well!! Thanks for the video!
For the algorithm 😎 thank you for the sharing.
Man what a huge farm! So awesome
Nice to see. Same as in Holland!
from switzerland .trés bonnes explications de la vidéo !!
Thank you!

Thanks for the comment! Applying the manure through a hose has been very efficient and cost effective for us.
That’s a fair operation how many gallons have you moved?
This is video is from last fall, this spring we've covered about 500 acres so far with 10,000 gallon per acre.

Hi Rick, thanks for the comment. The manure pumping crew are outside contractors, they do a good job and have the right equipment to do it quickly!

Hi Greg, thanks for the comment! Our milking herd is on sand bedding, so our scc is pretty stable.
You have a great operation going. How long have you been in the farming industry?
Thank you! I've been working full time on our farm since I graduated from college in 2014, but have been around our family farm my whole life.
How much spreadable manure to you generate per year? How often do you do the spreading? How much can you store before you must begin spreading?
We will have around 25 million gallons of liquid manure per year. We typically spread in the spring and the fall but we have storage capacity for over a year.

Do you replace 100% of your fertilzer needs with manure or do you still need to add somem
We will add some fertilizer with the corn planter if needed but the majority our fertilizer comes from manure.

@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 That's very interesting. It's really cool to see how people farm in other parts of the world. Thanks
@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 What feritlizer do you add when needed? Any synthetics? If yes, what kind and what N percentage.
@@citizensful the fertilizer we add with the planter is a synthetic fertilizer, it's a nitrogen and phosphorus starter fertilizer.

What is the manure equivalent for NPK?
28 pounds N, 12 pounds P and 20 pounds K per 1000 gallon manure. That is not all available to the plant right away.
How many head are you milking
Between 1500 and 1600 cows.
How many gallon lagoon is that...
The one in the video is 10 million gallons. We have close to 30 million gallons of storage total, or 1 to 1.5 years of storage. This gives us flexibility to apply manure when conditions are right.
Hallo, als ik het goed begrijp rijd je 150m3 ha? (16.000 gallon x 3,8 x 2,5) of heb ik dat verkeerd? Leuke video's maak je
12,000 gallon per acre op dit veld in de video. Rond 114 m3 per ha.

@@danp7278 the positive of a quota system is price stability, we've had a lot of price fluctuations here the last few years.
Why so much? In Germany we spread that on a Hektar not on a acre
