We kept the production variables for both the wheat and beans constant this year as far as inputs. We planted our normal rate of wheat. We did test a couple of different seed varieties as well as hog manure application rates vs urea though.
We saw about a 15% reduction in wheat yield. Hopefully we will see drastically better bean yields than double crop this fall. I plan on doing a profitability analysis video once the beans are off.
@@leopoldfamilyfarms5749 I would appreciate seeing the soybean yields as well as a profitability analysis. In the office, we are kicking around the idea of creating a cost-share incentive to get farmers to try this out. Thanks!
Very interesting! Can you tell us a little about inputs? Have you reduced the cost/hectare of wheat? Regards, Inn. Farm

Did You see a big change in your wheat BPA, as compared to an all wheat field? That is a nice looking piece of land .

Are you still working with relay intercropping
Nice job. What were your yields like?
Wheat averaged 65 and beans averaged 38 for the field.
Where did you guys buy the shields
sorry for the late reply. I designed and made the shields myself.
