Planting Silage Corn, Soybeans, and Winter Cereal Rye at the same time.

Sometimes not everything works as planned. Sometimes you fall into something. The Rye might have died out from too much shade but it did an excellent job suppressing early season weeds.

Cody, Another great video. Really appreciate the comments about encouraging farmers to try new things. We are all learning together and sharing those experiences accelerates all our learning. The value the rye brought to this field is outstanding despite not working as planned.

Soybeans with silage corn to increase protein is a good idea. Would be interesting to see a feed sample comparison.

exactly, without this information, the video of interplanting means zilch

I’m in eastern Canada, I’m thinking a winter wheat for a fall cover crop might work here , something hardy that won’t winter kill much

[@hossammohamed8714]

Is there a video for harvesting?

[@mahlon-sk3gf]

Have you guys worked with organic corn growers? Wondering if broadcasting into 60" corn rows planted into rolled/crimped rye would work or would no till drill be the only way? Goal is to winter graze beef cows in central NY

We will be in 2020!

[@5er593]

I think no till is safer option

[@5er593]

We try to drill sunflower, hairy vetch and peas in to corn to raise protein in silage.

[@w8stral]

And what percentage increase do you get and the population of seed cover crop is?

@@5er593 ah ty, what spacing?

[@5er593]

@@w8stral The rows of corn were at 140cm and there was too much pressure from the weeds also we had an extremely wet year.

@@5er593 Thank you for the reply

[@vinodpunj3102]

That’s a good piece of information on cover or mixed or co-cropping.
Is it possible to grow potatoes between the rows of corn ?
And, is it also possible to grow corn on raised beds ?

[@leroydeichman2899]

Yes.

[@timknoll8654]

Cow are herbivores, not grainivores
