Have We Drought Proofed Our Soils??? (7/4/24)

- With Matt having to work around the much needed annual Fourth Of July rain and then a breakdown on the sprayer, he's forced to work on the 4th to finish up. Matt also notices on some of his thin hill ground that his corn is holding up better than the neighbors cotton.

Being born and raised in the south the beginning of this video had me rollin 😂cremation lol😂its definitely the true definition of a hot summer. Beautiful stands you have. Your cover crops are helping. That cotton or corn dont look stressed at all. Soil temps definitely lower with that residue. Nice fields
You can adjust the ride on that seat. It has different settings to adjust how bouncy it is.
Them covers are keeping moisture in the ground and the biology alive👍🏻
we use a rotary hoe on our beans when they get crusted in
Thanks, Matt. I learned a lot from your videos. I appreciate the sacrifice you ,your family, and crew make to produce this content.
Finally we got rain here in southern middle Tennessee also, we have been getting good rains for about a week so everything is looking better here now. The corn crop is going to be hurt but the beans should do well.
Very interesting videos. Keep them coming 👍 👍 👍 👍 😊😊
Love y’all’s videos sprayer coming over hill awesome
Tylen love ❤😊 0:15
These prices have got to go up we can’t make nothing like this 67 cent cotton
Talking to a friend about this and he’s about ready to sell the picker and focus on the other crops.
Could the beans have slug damage?
I’ve been thinkin about your cotton emergence issue. Talked to some of my buddy’s in Alabama and Georgia they run the same closing system and aren’t havin trouble. The only difference is, they aren’t planting into cover crops like you. They do but they striptill before planting. I bed up on peanut ground before cotton. But that ground, I rigged up three point drill where it only plants the middles and everything else I drill it solid and run a orthman striptill bar putting down fertilizer and then hit it with burn down right after. I don’t know why, but you havin heck with your cotton stand has had me questioning things I’m doing.
Matt your sprayer has been a leaking machine.
Matt were can you get a pay check and 100 % wrong with tecknowagy today (weather)man
I've been holding this thought for a while because it seems unlikely. Is it possible that the planter is somehow injuring the seed coat on the soybean and cotton seeds, and that is the reason for poor emergence?
I enjoy your videos, especially the cotton, because iowa doesn't have cotton, so I've had to learn about it from southern RUclips farmers.
No. The cotton rotted. It happens. If you were to see a cotton seed, you would understand. It’s a seed coat with a cotyledon inside. No starch at all, no energy reserves to go through inclement weather.
My soybeans came up fine, just had 3 corner alfalfa hoppers come in and destroy the stand.
Thank you. One of those , if you don't ask, you'll never know.
I know you are just really into the soil health stuff , but it seems to me. You have as many problems as a result of those cover crops as you do benefits your video about poor stands and insect pressure really illustrates the downside of cover crops and that is why I don’t use them anymore.
When you have 3 weeks straight of rain, it doesn’t matter what your practice is, the results will not be good. Everyone in our area had big issues to deal with
I agree but when you are planting through a giant wet carpet it does make it rough we were just as wet in sw Indiana and I didn’t get done planting till June and didn’t plant one farm where it didn’t rain within 24 hours. However I didn’t have to replant one acre and nearly all the no till cover crop guys did. Replanting cost money at the end of the day we all have to make money or we won’t be farming very long. These margins are razor thin. You can have the healthiest soil in the world, but if it is a losing proposition, it doesn’t matter.. look I get it you are a big believer in it, but can you take a break from beating that drum? You’re beating it into the ground and it gives the message that anybody that is not doing it is doing something wrong. All I can say is whatever meeting you sat through on cover craps the guy must’ve been one heck salesman.
@@danielakin7638 SW Indiana is a long way from West TN. Not only that until you’ve actually grown cotton, it’s hard to understand just how finicky cotton is. My soybeans and corn came up just fine. Easy to get a stand with those. A lot of producers in this area had to replant a lot of cotton. No till and conventional till both. In fact many producers actually gave up on planting/replanting cotton because conditions were so poor for cotton. So actually all things considered we were pretty successful with the hand we were dealt.
I showcase our farm and practices. We were doing these practices long before RUclips. There was no “salesman”. I’ve seen the benefits year in and year out. If I don’t talk about what we’re doing on our farm or the things I’m seeing, then there are no videos. You can choose to watch or not. There’s a lot of different ways to be successful in farming. I’m going to show viewers the way that we’ve become successful. If they want to try some of the things we do, fine. If not, it’s not my business how others run their farm.
