This cant be no tilled ???? I see no previously existing rows ? At 4:00 Things are cut in small pieces too ? Stated you put ammonia on last fall.......I see no trenches from the rig. Besides.....that in of itself is tillage. Been there done that. Planting in a field that had ammonia applied is rough ! So...... tillage happened here in some way ! There are root balls on top of the ground. This dont occur when no tilling !
Of course it's no-till. Just because it's such flat ground that they could run the bean head so low that you don't see the rows of bean stubble doesn't mean they aren't there. Straw chopper on the combine cuts the beans into small pieces. That you don't see where the modern ammonia openers sliced through shows that doesn't count as tillage. So obviously you haven't done that. Two year old root balls pop out real easy with the row cleaners.
I guess I can explain more, starting with combining the corn 2 years ago because every detail matters. Our corn head has 360 chain rolls and yetter devastators to accelerate corn stalk residue breakdown. Then rye is seeded with an air seeder. The beans were planted green into that. Right after soybean harvest rye is seeded with the air seeder. A few weeks later after temperatures have dropped we apply nh3 every 30” with a shank that we try to do minimal disturbance. In the spring you can barely see where the knives went. I guess that could be considered tillage but then also the air seeder pass could be considered tillage and even the planter pass for that matter. There’s no root balls I think what you are seeing is chucks of dry cattle manure that was spread. Thanks for the comment!
Jeez, man! He's doing just fine. Don't need to pick nits until the cows come home. No til leaves soil in its natural structure to take in moisture and state. I've worked with notil since the mid'80's. You're doing fine.
Why you guys don’t use multi species biological stimulators with 4 or more family groups is beyond my understanding... there is way too much evidence for its benefits!.. No till is just the first step... Shalom!..
Very good farming dear friend🙏
Good
