- What happens when you plant a soybean crop in between twin-row winter wheat? Why would a farmer seed pearl millet at the V3 growth stage into corn planted in 60-inch spacing? Northeast Indiana farmer Jason Mauck shares how-tos and his observations of better weed control, good yields, higher returns per acre and improved hog manure retention. Learn how Jason’s return to his family farm after the death of his father started his journey into “constant-canopy” farming.
Jason Mauck grows 3,100 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat and operates a wean-to-finish hog operation, finishing 25,000 hogs annually. He has tried relay intercropping for three years to solve weed and hog manure challenges posed by intensively growing plants year-round.
Very interesting farming innovations...Dennis
Mighty interesting approach to double croping covers.
great information!
Fantastic!
Hi. I only discovered your trials today. Have you tried or played with the orientation of the rows to create more or less shade? Are all your fields drilled in east west direction?
Thank you for your knowledge and sharing.

I live in Nebraska. I need to visit your place. It's beautiful and protective. This spring I'll be attempting some blueberry and artichoke plants which require acidic soil. Im thinking about single area for both due to space and adding a 2nd planting to help acidic soil...any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
Is that twin row wheat? Or can it really tiller that much?
It's called the Fibonacci sequence
We're can I get those plates to put on head
We're can I purchase the fingers and plates
It's Organic?
Hey Andrea, thanks for your comment! Jason's cropping system is conventional.
My Calculus Prof. often said Mathematics points to a Creator. To me, people sound very brainwashed when they fail to give God the glory for his creation and attribute these great qualities to Evolution. Evolution is only a theory not a law and it violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
