Shelling Organic Corn 2023
Welcome back to IN Organic Farmer! This video was filmed on November 4th & 7th, 2023. In this video, I am shelling organic corn with our 2020 John Deere S780 combine and 8 row John Deere 893 corn head. I talk about the average yield of the organic corn fields, what weed control measures were used, and the corn varieties that were used. Thank you all for watching! If you haven't already, please subscribe! That helps me to know that you want to see more of my videos!
Here is the data from my plot. All loads were weighed in the grain cart scales and were replicated three times. Yield is figured in dry bushels (15% moisture).
Great Harvest Organics 5077GH: 198 BPA average
Blue River 49M23: 194 BPA average
Pioneer P0075 (Non-GMO): 218 BPA average

      Not in organic production. I will be pushing 200k this year. Keep in mind the “in row” weeds are the toughest to deal with. Once the beans are up, I have to be aggressive enough to tear the weeds out. That also means tearing the beans out as well. I usually see a 10-20% reduction in stand depending on how aggressive I need to be to kill the weeds.

    How are you handling the thistle? I haven't found a good way to get rid of my patches. If I can get the oats off early enough it gives me a chance to disk the thistle but it still seems to persist. I'm thinking to put various other short season crops like peas or buckwheat in there but there's a pretty steep financial cost (loss relative to corn/beans) to planting those crops. If I had animals I'd consider pasture.

    I'm very seriously considering transitioning some of my acres to organic. Ideally I'd like to convert all of my acres, but that won't be financially possible. How much of a hassle is it to farm conventional and organic at the same time? I've heard that it brings on a lot of extra documentation.

    • @INOrganicFarmer
      @INOrganicFarmer 6 місяців тому

      As far as the paperwork goes, my certifier has never requested any documentation from the conventional side. If you are being truthful and documenting everything you do on the organic acres it really isn’t any more hassle running a split operation. On the equipment side of things, clean outs are not fun, but as we upgrade equipment, I am trying to keep the older equipment (like the 1760 in the video) if it’s financially feasible to do so. Have a good pressure washer on hand!! Also if you are seriously considering transitioning, I would suggest attending at least one organic conference this winter. (Maybe you already have?) The OGRAIN conference in Madison, WI is a good one. There is another good one in Ohio put on by OSU. The Land Connection has one in IL sometime in February too I believe. Good luck!

    • @INOrganicFarmer
      @INOrganicFarmer 8 місяців тому

      Equipment and labor is expensive and would not be financially sustainable to have two of everything. All equipment that is used on conventional fields is thoroughly cleaned before entering organic fields. I have several pieces of equipment that are only used in organic fields and adding more when I can. The organic market would not last long if there was a rule that said all or nothing. Actually, you would probably have more fraudulent “organic” imports because of less domestic US organic grain. The USDA is very strict on the NOP rules and most US farmers stick to them. It takes twice the dedication and skills to be an organic farmer as a conventional farmer. No farmer is going to jump all in without trying some acres for a few years first. Some farmers get into organic and realize it’s not for them.
