This stuff is really amazing, keep up the updates. Looking forward to seeing the cutdishiner and what it does with it before baling. The stalks are what has me worried about mine. Looking fantastic for the little rain that has come this year 👍
Good day Interesting video. I ddon't know much about newer crops. Yes videos would be interesting. Boy you are a great cat man. Lynx is really tame. Thanks
Keep us updated on the sorghum. I was going to plant 4 acres the first week of July but had zero moisture until this week so I guess I'm going to put it in rye and try sorghum next year.
We took 3 cuttings off of Sudan grass. We would cut at about 3 feet on a normal year. I don't consider this a normal year. Those might be large windrows.
We had a little dry spell and then several good rains. That's when the crops around here have really taken off crazy. That will make some nice cattle feed.
Something I have yet to hear an answer to... I've heard people cutting and baling soybeans for hay. Yet the beans have to be roasted to cook the toxins out, wether for human or livestock consumption... At what point do the beans become toxic??? And what makes hay different than just the beans?? Good old fashioned Sudan can get tall!! An old dairy down the road used to green chop it, usually 12' tall when they chopped, they'd get 3 or 4 cuttings. I've been on chopping crews when we chopped 12'+ late planted Sudan too... Looking good Brad!!
I planted oats and peas after wheat last week. My son thought it was a good idea to put some corn seed in the last few passes,will be interesting to see if any of it goes into something! Kids!
Looking forward for updates . Very interesting and clear explanation , thank you Mr. Larson. For the first time i was going to seed some sudangrass . The plan was to drill it in after the winterbarley , but barley-harvest was late this year , better wait till next year and going for Italian Ryegrass this year. What %crude protein has sudangrass ?
That stuff really grows. I planted some on may 26. Was worried I screwed up because we had a week of really cold wet weather after and they say you need the soil temp to be pretty warm but it came up fine and is all headed out now. do you windrow it first then run your conditioner over it or just hit it with the cutditioner? I find fall is a better time to kill alfalfa.
Sudex 20# per acre, soybeans 40# per acre. Only fertility is from spring grazing the oats and winter rye. 2nd field i applied 150# of potash, 100# of AMS and 50# of urea
When I was Dairying I would set the outside rows on a 4 row planter to plant Soybeans and the inside rows to plant corn and the insecticide hopper dribble sorghum at about 4lbs to the acre.... That way when I chopped I would mix 1 row of each together....... If I didn't give the beans room the corn/ sorghum would shade them out.....I usually could get some second cut off the sorghum before frost if I could get nitrogen to the sorghum when it started to regrow
Going to silage bale them for the cows, then out winter. I dont want to have the sudex mix with the silage corn and throw off the energy levels in the corn silage, plus it would be hard to keep consistency and the nutritionist would probably shoot me! 🤣🤣
Looks like Mother Nature has been real good to you after cheating you early. Why Oats mixed into the Fall cover crop, it frost kills? Please post the Sudex updates.
Depends on the weather. If the weather cooperates I will leave it lay until I can bale it and not have to wrap it. Last year if I would have left it lay 2 more days I think it would have been dry enough but I got impatient!
@@LVFFarmVlogs well the last half of mine i baled it was to green. I didn’t want it to get rained on so i baled it any way. Now it’s molding so it probably won’t be any good. What moister is it usually when you bale it?

Looks good what variety?
That's going to make some nice feed! Always nice to see different ways and different ideas ! Thanks Brad!👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
That is growing fast, nice mix.

Thats gonna make some awesome feed wow. That sudex really takes off when it gets to a certain height. Take care Brad

Wow, that grows fast looking good Brad👍
Its pretty amazing how fast its growing now!
Good year here too 👍
Yeah keep us updated
Thanks for the video! Looks fantastic!
We took 3 cuttings off of Sudan grass.

I don't consider this a normal year.
Those might be large windrows.
I took 2 cuttings last year, but i planted it a month earlier.
I enjoy seeing things I had done with Dad 50 years ago.
Something I remember about Sudan grass is we were quick to disc after a hard frost.
Looks good bubba !
Thank ya kindly
We had a little dry spell and then several good rains. That's when the crops around here have really taken off crazy. That will make some nice cattle feed.
We have had streaks of wet then dry. The 3 weeks of no rain and 90 plus heat really hurt the hay production. Hot and dry too early
That's a nice looking crop👍👍 should make some good feed . I like the updates 🍻
good to see you hope you are doing well
Thanks buddy, you as well!

With soybeans its the oil in the seed, but for years I've ground and fed soybeans and have never had an issue, so i really can't say!
@@LVFFarmVlogs interesting... thank you

Don't know if ya Don't try!!
@@LVFFarmVlogs It was some older seed he got for nothing so I guess it was worth a shot.
Wonder how much n the soybeans are fixing in the soil. Sounds like you got a deer problem.
Major deer problem! As for the N fixated, once i see flowers I'll dig up a plant and look for nodules

What %crude protein has sudangrass ?
My sorghum sudan last year was around 13% CP
@@LVFFarmVlogs 👍. That is more i expected

I'll cut it with the moco, then run the cutditioner over it on the 2nd or 3rd day
Would really like the updates...what rate did you seed it lbs per acre and did you put any fertilizer with it??
Sudex 20# per acre, soybeans 40# per acre. Only fertility is from spring grazing the oats and winter rye. 2nd field i applied 150# of potash, 100# of AMS and 50# of urea

Why not chop and pile on top of corn silage

Oats because they grow fast, something for the cows to graze sooner
i want to see it more as time go on
How long do you usually let it set before you bale it?
Depends on the weather. If the weather cooperates I will leave it lay until I can bale it and not have to wrap it. Last year if I would have left it lay 2 more days I think it would have been dry enough but I got impatient!

@@4MRanch 20% or less
@@LVFFarmVlogs ok well mine is ruined then lol.
It may be worth looking into putting a preservative tank on your baler so you can bale hay at a higher moisture
Soybeans actually looked pretty good for July planting
Growing like a weed!
Be interesting to see if the set any pods before i mow them
@@LVFFarmVlogs I wouldn’t be surprised
I've had soybeans climb right up corn
