Farm Basics from Ag PhD Episode #1296 | Air Date 02/05/23 - The Hefty brothers discuss monitoring soil temperature throughout the day and how it pertains to planting.
Not to mention, when your soil is hotter than I prefer my steak in the middle, the most important livestock on our farms dies off. The microbes below the ground. I never ask myself how a decision will effect my crop yields, I want to know how it will effect the fungi and bacteria in my soil. The funny thing is, pull back and look at it from a multi decade perspective, you will find that you out farmed all your neighbors. Sure, you lost the peaks, but you also lost the valleys, and those disastrously wet years, or dry years, or pestilence years, you didn’t lose much, when everyone else did.
This helps a bunch
Thanks
Very interesting!
Thank you!

I miss RFD T.V. : (
After all that I’m still left asking…so when is it planting time then? When it reaches 50° at the warmest time of day? Or is 50° overnight?

What type of soil do you farm?
Silty clay loam, they call it drummer soil
Good morning sir
