Profitability of GMO vs nonGMO soybeans
When cover crops go wrong... it gets messy. Also sunflowers.

This happened to 2 fields totaling about 90 acres. Despite this, the second field that you don't see here is averaging about 154 dry bu/ac in a county with an average of 175. Unfortunately, the field in this video was going to be our corn plot field. So no variety research this year.

For the past 1.5 years, Brandt Farm has been unable to provide our normal updates on what we have learned about no-till farming and cover cropping to those interested in learning more about the systems themselves. Therefore, we are hoping to bring you some of our thoughts in a different manner than usual, in a more hands-on manner than a powerpoint presentation.

It's about redox and oxidized
Approximately 4 bushel an acre can be a difference in variety alone. Your trial and a different field might have been yield favoring the non gmo, I feel when within 5 bushel an acre is a wash. Being able to store non gmo soybeans on farm and finding a premium market for them is a bonus. I planning on growing some non gmo soybeans in upcoming years, I think planting green into rye and lower priced seed can compete with enlist soybeans in the commodity market.
Couldn’t watch the video because you kept swing the camera so much. Constantly back and forth!
Rest in peace 😔
Rest in peace😔
my heart goes out to all the people at brandt farm for the loss of dave brandt ❤
Hi I'm doing my first covercrop this year. We have irrigation should i not irrigate the field after planting corn then rolling the covercrops
I would look into growing spelt/dinkel as it stand at 4 ft tall or even more, depending on the variety. It is not a high yield crop but a lot of artisan bakeries are looking for it. Some major baked goods brands are also starting to use it.
Excellent video 👍👍
That's a great, common sense presentation. We went WAY out there personally to the beyond organic realm and raising public only seed, even growing a few hundred acres of seed corn from parent seed available openly to anyone, and raising soybeans specifically to be held back as seed. But we are organic feed producers, and we are providing a product that has to meet the criteria of actual doctorate holding animal nutritionist. The beans are doing fantastic for us, usually in the 50's, but can get as high as 70, and our varieties have RM's more like what one would see in Minnesota and parts of Canada, not the corn belt part of Illinois. We do 4 passes on our beans ground. Planting, mechanical termination, harvest, and planting a cool season package. Corn gets 5, because we add a warm season package that we drill in March when the ground freezes at night, and thaws during the day, catching it at the in between stages. We love to have fun and pick 200 plus bushel corn, and once every 2-3 years, we get a chance to put an old Pioneer number out. Good old 1197, all non treated of course. But most of the time, we're selecting populations and RM's that we can plant later, letting the cover crops work longer, and get them out sooner so the cool season mix of cover crops can get a good start and both spring and fall cover crops produce some amazing weight gain on our cattle. Those cattle and a few sheep and hogs are along with the cover crops are the only fertility program we have. I'm very happy with 140, 150, 160 bushel organic corn, and I can shrug off 120 and not lose any sleep over it, because it's the over all big picture that matters. I'm growing microbes and fungi, the cash crops and meat are the byproduct.
160 bushels is around average for GMO corn by the way. You're doing as well, if not better.
It can be hard to think outside the box. This is our future. North American land is sick and runs off with the rain instead of soaking it up. Canadian and U.S. governments need to get behind the research and subsidize change.
Waaay too much swinging the camera around!
Got so dizzy watching just the first minute had to stop. Really wanted to see what was going on.

I am almost done with Gabe’s book. You guys are the best. Keep changing the world
So you killed this CC by rolling? why didnt the barley CC get rolled, would it have killed it?
The barley did get rolled, but since it wasn't at the proper maturity stage, it didn't die. Because of the difference in maturity timings we prefer rye since it is at a stage where it will terminate around the same time as vetch and clovers are.
@@brandtfarm1229 Thanks for clarifying. Maybe you could put some details in the description of the video.
Is this vetch rolled,or is sprayed?can you skip herbicide when you have this amount of biomass?
The vetch was rolled, but we did have to do a pre-emergence spray pass as there was significant amounts of foxtail coming through the cover. We only acquired this field 5 years ago, and this is the first large cover crop it has seen, so some amount of weed pressure is understandable. Given the amount of biomass on the ground it is likely that we will not have to worry about a post-emergence application, and we may opt to skip sidedressing entirely
Looks great. I plant into large green cover crops too. Do yall have any trouble closing the furrow in the big covers? I have a little trouble in spots but most is fine.
It gets easier as the soil becomes more mellow with increased SOM
I’ve been looking at this for a bit now. I would like to go the route of non gmo beans but I believe I would need a premium of over the $1 mark in order to justify it. $.40 simply does not appear to pencil out for me with the extra risk of fewer high quality weed control options and a less diverse range of genetics to choose from. In my research I’ve found premiums range from $.40 to $1.50. It’ll hinge on finding the right market for me.
@Byron Grey bot
You're not without risk as it is. As an organic producer who grows public seed, is no till, uses cover crops, plants green when the rye is at boot stage, and mechanically terminates when it reaches anthesis, I get 50-70 bushels per acre and this year, all my contracts are for $35 and up. But I am no longer out there with row mowers and weed zappers like I used to be. Instead, my kids ride around on their motorcycles and find neighbors with GMO beans who are having problems with resistant weeds, so my equipment is being used on GMO ground and earning a (very) small fee.
It's never been true that GMO varieties are the reason for current soybean and corn yields. Corn and Soybean yields had been increasing steadily long before GMO roundup ready crops were introduced in 1995, and theres no indication that conventional soy and corn yields would have stopped increasing between 1995 - present since they had been steadily increasing for decades without any signs of slowing.
Stand still, your making me sea sick!!
Michael seems like l have heard that before during navy tour (many moons ago)
Why no more views? This is the future. I will share all I can. Love this. Keep it up please 🙏
People are scared of change heck so am I, it takes time but its happening. People just have to be brave and give it a shot. Its scary and risky, but so is everything worth something in life
Ain't much but it's honest work
hi Chris. i like you tried! i like you explain the corn head won't work . for me the easier double crop after wheat (i m fart north from you ) is buckwheat, almost no inputs except you need a dryer. cheaper double crop is a forage for grazzing
Good stuff Dave
So what exactly would you have done differently?
Delayed termination until after the rain had left and the ground dried enough to not cause the mold.
@@brandtfarm1229 thanks man. Wish you could put out more videos about all you guys are doing.
Which would you say would be more efficient? Surface irrigation or drip irrigation?
Hey man! Did you know you because a very popular meme?
Arro makes a corn head coversion kit to turn a corn head into a row crop header. Kopperkutter.com We are thinking about buying a used older head and converting it for milo. Love learning from your channel!
The weather, welcome to ohio , if you dont like the weather ,wait 15 minutes it will change
Do y'all drill most all your cover crops? You mentioned a roller crimper I've been wondering how they would work on corn stalks. I currently bush hog mine but need a bigger bush hog and I would like to have a roller crimper for covers. You think it would work on corn stalks too?
We drill all of our cover crops. We used to have a modified high-clearance sprayer with a Valmar box, but it was less effective and required more seed per acre due to lower germination rates. It does allow you to cover many acres quickly, as well as interseed into standing corn and soybeans, but it was not worth the investment in our operation. It does indeed work on cornstalks. We will pull our roller over cornstalks on rye cover ground on occasion and it works fine as long as it isn't muddy.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Forrest Lyric instablaster =)
@Roger Shepherd i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Roger Shepherd it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D
nice cover crop i wish we had the same but with no rain between start of july to 15 of september my cc are only 6 inch tall
Better luck next try but even a little left and rolled over will help the soil maintain moisture and eventually absorb all the rain it gets.
Awesome. Yeah post more updated and videos of all the different things you guys are doing. Absolutely love it.
Glad to see an update, can wait to see what ideas you guys have come up with!
October 7th the first day of soybean harvest? I think there are guys done with beans and moved on to corn already in SD.
"Who is that dummy who doesn't know how to hold a camera that clearly isn't David?" That would be Chris, David's grandson. Due to our work lately leaning into proving that a no-till system with cover crops has distinct economic advantages to the farmer, we wanted to make sure those who wanted to learn more about what we were working on at least have some idea of how our tinkering has turned out. Stay tuned (hopefully) for several more videos covering assorted topics related to the profitability of row-crop farming with high biomass cover crops.
Hows David doing now?

It strikes me that the nitrate can be caught in the soil as deep as you can dig until you get to the water table where it should be washed into the rivers and oceans
