The more I think about the past, and the way my grandad farmed, the more I believe he/they had it right back then. Fallow fields with green manure crops was the norm in his long rotations. It was a rich countryside.
Legume is good in general, but when you talking about alfalfa, can you tell us What kind of crop rotation you use? Is 7.71 statistically different from 7.97?
Hi Harrow King, thank you for your questions! The rotation in that field is: Alfalfa, Corn, Soybeans, Alfalfa (this field is in it's 4 years). and yes the yield difference between 7.71 and 7.97 is statistically different.
So out west here in alberta, we don't get rains like you guys do in Ontario. Would it be wise to use a disc drill to band in fertilizer into the ground after each cut vs spreading it on and risking fertilizer burn if we don't get that rain after application?
Hi Dawson, thank you for your question, this is great! My biggest concern with using a disc drill to band fertilizer is the damage it may cause to the crowns of the alfalfa . If moisture is your limiting factor could you apply your fertility in the spring or in the fall when you know you will have some form of precipitation?
@@aaronstevanus4902 oh okay. Yes we could do that, but the would involve us having to either buy, rent or get it custom applicated. With our no till disc drill we own, would be a cheaper alternative to applying fertilizer.
If I tell you about my agricultural land, will you guide me? We planted sugarcane in seven acres of land which was irrigated with canal water and also sprayed with fertilizers and pesticides but we got the weight of sugarcane equal to the total weight of 64,000 kg which is probably very low average. Please guide۔۔۔ my country is pakistan🇵🇰
Don't use fertilizers and pesticides. Try a diversity of plants in your sugarcane (sunflower or corn), monoculture is a sure path to soil and plant sickness.

Any practical video on how to make a barley silage?
What’s your alfalfa hay price when 0.6 ton can pay for 1300 pounds of potash?

Well, what's the average yield/acre in your area?
