- In this video we visit Bi-Jovira Organic Farms and we see them harvesting Red Cabbage, Carrots and Belgian Endive using self-invented and made machine's for special use in Strip Farming. Strip farming or cropping is a method of farming on 3-metre wide strips where they are alternately nine different crops alongside each other. Creating more biodiversity in the field so the crops stay more healthy without spraying or fertilizer.
They also use Controlled traffic farming (CTF) a system built on permanent wheel tracks where the crop zone and traffic lanes are permanently separate, resulting in only local compaction of the soil in the same spot every year. This favours soil life and thus the crop.

Props to the people who are able to make such machines. That rotating trailer alone is so cool.
when the pallet trailer rotated, my jaw dropped. that's amazing!
Growing vegetables has gone from the hardest most back breaking work to something people can do with ease and really enjoy. Lovely video
Well, except for harvesting the red cabbage, that still looks back breaking.
Brilliant footage, nice machines which support the people at work and nice weather. What do you want more! Thank you.
Amazing video! Great technology! Thumbs Up 🚜🚜🚜🚜👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing
Thanks from Arizona USA 🇺🇸
Modern agricultural machinery provides professional tools and equipment to optimize farming processes.😊🎉☘️
Wow.... I didn't know that is how carrots were harvested on the large scale. Very interesting, awesomeness!!
? What plant that you eat on a large scale that is dirt cheap is NOT harvest on a large scale? --> Nothing.
Great Video 👍
Strip farming looks great. 👍🏾😎 Thx.
There's good reason for you to have so many subscribers.
Prachtige video weer! Mooi al die gewassen door elkaar.
thank you for all you do.
Great video, special machinery 👍
Great video, interesting way of farming. Would love to see more in depth as to the planning and rotation. Presumably this reduces reliance on agro chemicals and fertiliser. And I assume space if the ground around the pumpkins is harvested early enough?
Always something interesting!
Really interesting equipment, seemed to be constructed at farm.
No this is made at a construction company but it's all made from scratch and drawing, with some trail & error testing on the go. When it all works like they want they will probably give the machine a nice paint job.
I like that rotating trailer thing on tracks
Mooie video!
Крутая техника,сказать больше нечего,не то что у нас))
Cool machines!
Another good video 👍

Bravo strokenteelt!
Wow, mantap
Interesting
I like it. :)
I'm really happy to watch your video, I hope you will grow and create for the benefit of all our compatriots with love. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Would You back on this farm? It's interesting how looks production there.
Подумать только! Ещё какие то десятки лет не было такой агротехники!

greetings, I want a farm like this. magnificent video and organic farm, just in doubt, how do you control weeds organically?
One of the ways that you can control weeds is by companion planting of a sympathetic crop which happens to fight off weeds. An example of this would be to plant mustard seed which is like a ground cover and it's foliage knocks down weeds. This method can also be used to deter problem insects with certain species of plants that repell insects due to their natural insecticides.
The best way to learn about this is from organic gardening groups in your own country as they have a large baseline of plant knowledge.
👍👍
Great video, what do they use to protect from carrot root fly if organic?
Crop rotation. Distance between plantings is generally how bug/weed problems are all solved in "organic" world. Solves vast majority of said problems when not monoculture planting
@@w8stral Also companion planting of various species of plants that will produce natural insecticides and herbicides to fight off problem insects and weeds.
I'm also wondering. In this case, crop rotation is definitely not enough. They fly 800m from field to field so that the strip cultivation will not help.

It's just my huble opinion. But I think, educational Films like this, at least should run once the month at school and TV to show, what a big invest it is, running such a farm, how highleveled the machines are, to produce healthy food on a ecological way. And to give us, the consumers,a hint, how worth the prices are, we have to spend for it.
How about a planting video of that farm
Can the waste carrot tops be fed to cattle?
Great !
Machinery investments must be high on this farm with all the custom-made/modified equipment necessary for this strip configuration.
Is this a national research farm testing the concept or a fully private and operating company ?
Will you give us videos of the other kind of works : planting, spraying, fertilizing, weeding ? I imagine there is also a lot of original equipment to see during these phases !
You get what the farms want you to see.
the channel is just about the machines there is no big bad industry trying to make propaganda... its videos of machines for peoples who like to watch those
You are right about the capital costs of the various types of machines but you will notice that they are primarily tractor towed and powered. I suspect that this farmer enjoys using his winter time to tinker with his towed machines. Nothing wrong with that as he is the one who knows how he wants to farm is farm the best way for productivity and crop management/rotation. He would also be looking at the costs vs returns for each crop.
@@markfryer9880 Exactly, DIY or forget it
Could U pls give more detail & subtitles?
What are the benefits to doing it in strips like this, rather than just one large section for each crop type?
Biodiversity
And the tractors are set at a specific width so they drive over the same path always, year in year out to avoid compaction off the clay soil, gps helping them
@@Valtra-rn1ed Is it that much more diverse than having the same crops just arranged differently? Like instead of doing a rows like X|Y|Z|X|Y|Z you instead do X|X|Y|Y|Z|Z you have the same amount of each thing, just arranged differently. As for the soil compaction, you can still do rows while doing large sections of a single crop. I am asking specifically if there is a benefit to doing alternating rows of different crops.
@@TacoMaster3211 yes because it also has to do with less use of spraying chemicals because of lower disease burden. And doing strips also helps with pollination. Mind you this is a farm where they try this stuff out
Mono cultures are more vulnerable for all kind of plagues. But when you have different crops the specific vegetables are more difficult for pests to find. And some combinations of vegetables even help each other against their predators. A famous example is the combination of carrots and onions.

What does the farmer do when he has fields for which he needs to travel over public roads? 3m20 wide tractors arent road legal
True, but that's why you see farm equipment with various hazard warning systems and permits can be obtained for use in the local area. Here in Australia we have some farmers with very large equipment and when they need to move between their various paddocks and home then they will put up Traffic Authority approved warning signs as well as flashing lights on the vehicle and have a utility vehicle with warning signs and lights to accompany them down the road.
Imagine if the last harvester tractor was electric too!🤔
Electric (battery) would be too heavy and increase the ground pressure and therefore soil compaction issues. Short term Biofuel or Blended Biofuel is probably the easiest means of reducing the use of Diesel fuel for engines.
In the nearer term, hydrogen fuel or fuel cells appear to be the easiest technology transfer. Beyond that is anyone's guess because we also have the introduction of Artificial Intelligence vehicles equipped with various technologies and implements to do field work.
Battery electric tractors already exist. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d be using one in a few years. Yes, batteries are heavy but these type of biological farms are relatively small so a relatively small battery might be enough. Remember that they do not plough. That would be a bigger stretch on batteries.

I admire the courage of the farmers who choose to grow there crops this way. However you ned to have special developped harvest machines, tracks and more costly solutions . Also is there a matter of inefficiency which makes production of crops more costly. I have my doubts if riding through the tracks in the field gives so much more production in the rows between. However good luck with it although you can see that i have doubts if this is the right solution to feed the world.
I guess that's kind of where we're at in our current age. The most efficient/profitable solution isn't always what's best for mankind, so people start looking for compromises.
Honestly strip mining would be better for all. Stops a monoculture from forming thats for sure
Why grow 9 crops all together like that?
First time I have seen strip farming, what are the main advantages of doing it this way ?
It is better for nature, explaining it here will take a lot of typing so i suggest that you just look op some articles, vids or other media. It’s very interresting, some “strip farmers” (idk the technical term) also plant some rows of trees in with the crops.
Can give you a short version of it. If you have all crops together, one fast reproducing pest can ruin the whole crop. With strip farming they usually end up in encountering another crop quite fast with which they can't live or reproduce fast enough on. Because of this it spreads not as fast through the whole crop. On top of that there is much more diversity of insect life and thus also of the possible nemesis of the pest. Because the enemy of the pest might do well or reproduce well on another type of crop or another type of pest on another type of crop. This should result in less use of insecticides or pest control methods, because basically the pest control method is build into the system, and you breed the pest control of one crop in another crop. This is what enables organic farming in which the use of chemicals for pest control is forbidden.
The opposite is also true for example: do not plant a flowering crop species that feeds a butterfly that then lays it eggs on the crop species next to it on which the caterpillars wreak havoc.
For a year over year effect: some pests overwinter in the ground beneath the crop, if you have the same crop year after year on the whole field they just need to dig up after the winter and find their favorite food. When rotating these strips, for some species they are limited in how far they can dig and you replant the crop next year out of reach of the pest dug into the ground last year.
Also some crops bind nitrogen from the air in their roots, which kind of fertilizes the land without the use of artificial fertilizer. That is another effect that can be used, but I don't recognize in this 9 crop system which crop that would be (usually those are beans, peas and the such).
Also there is the economic benefit, usually you need to choose a crop and guess which crop is in need of by the time it is harvested. That educated guess can be wrong because of other farmers having the same idea, wrong weather this year for the chosen crop, or a drop in command of the produce. This way having 9 crops there is less chance that all 9 have a really low price by the time you go to market. One might but it won't bankrupt you because hey you've got 8 other crops that can also be harvested at other times and not all the work is in the same week.
This is just the basic idea behind it, and there is a lot more to it. so what robin says google is your friend :). There are strip systems with any number kind of crops, can be just 2, but mostly it is more. And there is quite a lot of research that goes into it. Because each local area / climate / soil type has a different set of pests for each crop, and each crop has a different set of pest and pest control species, so the combination that would work well differs a lot.
FYI / fun fact: The same type of system of rotating different combination of different crops with even some non-harvested helper crops can rebuild a rainforest that produces different crops and can be ecologically harvested long term on devastating single crop burned palm oil plants. Even in such a way that in part of it you can reintroduce Orangutans. If you want to know more about this google Willie Smits.

I actually do not really see the benefit from it in comparison to traditional farming
It looks absolutly cool though
