Conventional ag is always being 2 weeks away from a drought, and 2 days away from a flood. I’ll never get close to the yields they get on a good year, but a bad year means I get 174-184, instead of 194-204. When you factor in the late planting date, the ultra ultra short season RM’s I use, that’s not bad. Add in the pounds of beef gain per acre from grazing pee wee cattle, the poultry poundage, I’m making more nutritional value, calories and nutrients, than any corn field will ever make.
@@canyonstinky7817 mid 200’s and close to, maybe even a little over 300 is pretty common around me. But that’s a one hit wonder, a single revenue stream. All of my organic corn is contracted at over $7/bushel this year, which is really low actually. But that premium is a factor in choosing farming methods.
Guess we could apply more N to replace what washed into our water supply so we can make more ethanol that has to be subsidized to be sustainable 🤔 Yep, I think that’s the correct answer👍
so I got from your talk that as soon as Urea (or buried liquid nitrogen preparations) meets water it gasses off as Hydrogen? Is that correct (sorry, I'm a farm fan - and complete ingnoramus; trying to understand the physics/chemistry). Thanks for posting, very interesting overview.
Seems like normal cycle of weather. Seems like every 12 years have the same issues pop up again.
I hadn't known just how complicated crow growing is. Thank-you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Yea, they look for all kinds of road kill.
@@gardencornrobber That was a type O. I intended to say corn
You can have free nitrogen with no problem at all.
Everyday life for a farmer,,theres nothing new going on,,even the floods they happen to somebody somewhere every year
Not like this

Maybe I should stay in idaho where I get 220+ most years

I supply my own nitrogen. 🤫
You poop by every corn stalk?
Your concerns are so overblown. Rainmakes grain. Thunderstorms fix nitrogen from lightning bolts. It will be a bumper crop, trust me

American way.
cool spring too?

Most pollution comes froms city runoff.
Good time to start looking into regenerative agriculture.
My guess is you are to late for biologicals.
Might help some?
cost? That 1 field looks like an ocean.
Maybe it’s time to stop the monoculture / chemical approach to agriculture. It would help stop the pollution of our surface waters.
Can you just get on with it! If you sat there and described everybody’s problems before you, you would never get to what you wanted to talk about
