- Broadcasting red clover on neighbors hay field. By spreading 3 pounds per acre of inoculated red clover seed on the fescue hay field this is a small price to pay for dramatically improving the quality of hay. We are buying his hay, so we added the clover seed to his field for free. Check out my books for more tips for your farm on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net/books/
That young landowner has no idea what a good deal he’s getting in having Greg Judy come over and make everything better.
I like beaver too❤
Love the videos Greg. I took back our 50 acre family farm from lease about 3 years ago and I’m sold on your ways. You’ve shown a 30 year old how it should be done. Keep well and love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Wow! Congrats Greg on getting your hands on that hayfield. Looks like a nice one!
G’day Greg. We are considering putting out red clover soon. We are watching this closely. Please do a follow up on this. Thanks for sharing!
When I stopped cutting hay in my hay field and mob grazed it, I ended up with heaps of red clover. I guess someone spread seed at some point before I purchased the land. Your right, that seed stays in the soil bank until it's got the right situation to grow.
Perfect timing I just seeded my pastures with red clover today!
Sounds great!
GREG, i love them beaver! as long as they dont cause me to have to work, i used to do damage control work and them beaver can mow down a corn or bean as good as a machine can! they are also a danger to farmers when they under cut banks close to their feed stations,, tractors, atv`s, and live stock can get hurt that way and cause all kinds of trouble for farmers and ranchers,, great video
The seed does last for decades I'm sure. Winter before this one we took out the overgrown maples that shaded my front yard and threatened the power lines. Never had clover in my yard, and it EXPLODED in white clover last summer. It was amazing. I could not have planted it so thick. Seedbank indeed!
We spread red clover on at 25 to 40 pounds an acre here in Michigan. We like to burn off the old grass and lightly disk the ground if needed. We then spread on the seed and let the freeze thaw cycles work the seed in . Our cattle enjoy the nice feed and the pastures regenerate nicely. We spread rye and clover on as cover crops on our corn and soybean ground as well . We farm 8000 acres and raise 300 head of Hereford and Angus cattle and we cover crop about 75 percent of our fields during the winter. We notill soybeans into standing rye and we see a significant yield boost. When we plant corn we have to till the rye under to help with emergence. Soil health is very important and crop rotation is very crucial to build up topsoil. Take care and stay safe !
Another good video. I like something you said: "the cycles of life." Thank you.
Inspiring! Interesting to learn about the functional benefits of the beaver.
Greg, I appreciate you sharing your expansive investment attitude, where everybody and everything prosper; including the planet,
Im so excited to hear Mr Greg is coming to North East Texas February 18-19 2022 to Texarkana....
I cant afford to go there and learn but now i can cause your coming to my town.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Where did you find this info? I'm not far from Texarkana, I want to check into this!
@@cuzinpepper Timeless fence. Just now in the planning stages.
Timeless fence said in a month the flyer will be out..
Convention center is rented, mr Judy is booked...
Im so excited.
I will have to flyer posted as soon as they get it to me.

And on UA-cam sheltonsteadfarms.
Nice contact to have. Good luck Greg
i put some clover in my pasture mix. last year the pasture was solid beautiful clover! ha did not expect that.
it's the 10th I only know cause I had to check too. 2021 is almost 1/4 thru. Things are moving so fast!
Nice pickup on the hay Greg, congrats! Hopefully the young man who owns it doesn't put it to beans but it's hard to talk someone out of something like that when they see a particular $ amount per acre. Unfortunately it's pretty hard to compete with crop land rental too. Hopefully he sees there's a larger value in keeping it to grass and helping the farm rather than hurting it.
Hey Mr.Judy
Great video. Glad y'all are into a warming trend.
Yes we are
Looks like y'all are in for some rain the next few days. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Hope it's a benefit. Thanks again.
Everybody loves a bit of beaver
Ok thanks
Interesting seeding information. Thank you for sharing.
🐂🐂😷👍
My pleasure
I have had a Herd seeder like that for about 25+ years and love it. That is one company and product that I brag on. I dont have mine that high up in the air though. I think you are gaining some spread width by doing that, is that the reason?
Getting the seeder higher in the air does give you a larger swath with each pass. It also keeps the seeder high enough that the mud and water is not thrown up on the seeder which prevents it from clogging up.
Like to see a video on how to make a creek crossing for cattle so water can be shared with several paddocks
Id be interested to hear about greg judy and beavers.
And it will be good to see a followup video on this clovering
Deer love it too it's good protein they need.
What about some "soil disturbance" prior to seeding? Not aggressive, just roughing up that matted grass. I have a similar plan to seed Crimson Clover, but I'll start with a dethacher or similar tool to expose some soil. Any thoughts?
Hey Greg could sit down with the young man and explain how you could help improve his land do some of the people that you rent like how you take care of their land would one of them be happy to share with the young Man.
Hello Greg. Do you also put down the Kentucky 31 Fescue seed to get the field prepared? Thanks
We have a similar bottom about 2 paved miles from our cattle. The creek can wash fence out on 1/3. Creek is the only water on it. Neighbor puts chicken litter on at no charge, he cuts,rakes and bales on the halves we pay nothing. I'm not sure that is the best use of this land. Any suggestions. Thank you!
Deer going to love that. I usually try to seed 3 types of clover, 3 types brassica, 3 cereal grains in the fall. I let it go to mid to late July. Then I cultapack re seed and re cultapack. Any suggestions for the avid hunter who likes your channel?
We’re setting up a 4-wheeler and wondering if we should mount the Herd spreader on the front or rear of 4-wheeler? I believe I saw another of your videos wherein the Herd spreader was mounted up front. Any chance doing a video to explain details of mounting a Herd spreader on a 4-wheeler? Thank you in advance.
Good day sir. I have a question about broadcasting legume seed. Would the inoculation of the seed hold up lying in the sun till germination happens and how does one protect cattle from bloating on red clover. Want to broadcast legumes on to my existing pasture but I'm afraid that I'll loose the nitrogen fixing ability if not drilled into the soil. Thank you in advance. Enjoying your videos
Greg, to you find it better to broadcast seed or to direct drill it ?
There is probably plenty of seed in the field already. I used my compact tractor mounted rototiller to even out a dead furrow and had the nicest crop of red clover I've ever seen without doing anything else.. I would try something like that in 50 foot diameter test plots first all over the field. Maybe try some with deer food plots. Alfalfa may come back too. Try that for a year or two and then make a decision. You might try some 0-20-20 fertilizer on some plots..
I used to be a fertiliser and pesticide sampler for the South Carolina Dept. Of Fertiliser and Pesticide control. Used to anyway, 0-20-20 was considered a luxury because it was used mostly as fishpond fertiliser. As a result, it was pretty expensive because it was subject to luxury tax. So yes it's good for legumes, but you can do about the same with a mix of 0-46-0 and 0-0-60.
Love your videos. Something tells me that field might not have a need for chemical nitrogen next year.... all being well. 😉
Hey Greg I know this video is older. I have the same seeder. I recently cast red and white clover. Am curious, can you tell me what setting you have your seeder set at? The sticker on the side only indicates red clover at 22#'s per acre. I put five per acre as well and have mine set at about 3/8" opening. It worked, but do you have an insight?
Why not install a flange or guard at the center point so the seed doesn't nail you in the back?
Can we get a Beaver video pleaSe!
Do you think putting on 3# of red clover would benefit the soil even if I didn’t fertilized the ground? When is the best time to put the red clover down? Also, bought some purple prairie clover too. Thanks again for all your videos.
You could try a parcel and see what you get. Once you get the soil ph over 6, the clover will do much better.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher my soil Ph is 6.7. Thanks!
Greg: Please show us what it looks like now.
I’m new to your videos but have heard clover was bad for cattle because of bloat. Can you or someone explain? Have the other articles/videos been misleading? Just trying to understand. Thanks
If the cattle have access to high levels of clover, it can cause bloat
Yeah, you will get millions of seed back, not to mention all the other benefits and convenience.
Concerns about drydown?
Yes, it is tougher to get the hay dry in the bottom area after cutting it.
How come every bag of seed I buy have a percentage of “weed seed”?
What does that mean.
I believe the law requires it for certified seed that is sold.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher What truly is a weed? If the animals eat it and nutrition is gained. It is all good.
Very true, that is another reason why we do not spray
There are difficulties in separating every single weed seed out of a seed crop, because the seeds of certain weeds and certain crops are really close to the same size. So the government permits a small fraction of weed seed in crop seed, but the species of weeds and the level of them have to be stated on the seed tag.
You mentioned you do not used this broadcaster much anymore. Could you elaborate?
Maybe because he’s already got a good mix of established perennial forage on the land he grazes?
@@chinaski2020 I was thinking that. He did mention it was because it was a new field.
Greg what about hairy vetch. I was thinking of doing this because of the higher protein content during fall and winter. When I stopped fertilizing the clover stayed to come back into my fields and have seeded none of it
Our established older farms do not ever need seeding. With our grazing management, we can keep legumes in our pastures without seeding anything.
Nothing wrong with hairy vetch. It is also a very heavy nitrogen fixer.
How do you go about negotiating a deal for a lease?
I go over the methods I use in my book, "No Risk Ranching"
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I’ll have to pick that book up next. I’m reading Grass-Fed Cattle by Julius Ruechel currently.
Greg do you mind telling us more about the government program with the filter strips you mentioned? DO'C
The CRP program is a cost sharing arrangement with the government. There is a ton of info if you willing to put in the time yourself. Just type "CRP program".
There is also NRCS. Both programs are there to help.
Hope this helps you journey.
$70/50 lb of red clover is a deal! I paid $125/50 lb of the Georgia tall red clover. This is tall red clover, not crimson clover, right?
😎👍👌🖖✌😁

No sound?
Good sound on my end
Where do you buy your seed from?
I have a neighbor that sells seed, feed and fencing materials
No I have beaver it's not life it's death it's easy for you to say with all the land that you have. But when you're raising corn and Alfalfa and milk and cow's know you want to lose money. Have beaver in your creek sweeper near lost our farm because of beavers in every acre that we seen the rent had beavers in the creek. Me and My Neighbor pour out 24 beaver dams in 4 miles.
We like our beaver, they hold water in the creeks all year long. Some of their pools are a couple hundred yards long. I would not be so fond of them if they took out a corn crop!!
