- TECHNICAL WARNING - No Tractors were harmed, or ran in the making of this video. This video collaborates with DSV-Northstar to help us determine and refine our 2024 crop plan, which will consist of 100% new crops to our farm. We are in the middle of a nasty drought, and we are trying some new crops to help carry us through this harvest. @farminainteasy @dsv-northstar

I am excited to see how your double crop works. Think I’m going to replicated it southern Sask. Seeded some triticale last fall, might try strips with millet, sorghum and oat barley pea
Thank you for watching @tywhitting! Stay tuned, this season is going to be a crazy ride! Good luck with your crop plan. Keep me posted. Maybe let me know what variety of sorghum you go with.
Excellent video David. Brian sounds like a particularly good resource/partner. And lots of interesting ideas. Sounding more and more like an agricultural experimental station. We'll all be wishing you success and looking forward to the follow-up results this coming spring, summer, and fall.
The triticale-sorghum mix is particularly interesting. And the silage program should have you less dependent on harvest weather. Will you be able to get protein measurements to justify the premium price for a premium product?
In any event, good luck with the weather and keep the videos coming!
Thank you Andrew, glad you enjoyed the video! In regard to feed values of the silage, Yes. We send all of our feed into the lab for a detailed feed analysis and will be able to easily see the feed-values on a field-by-field basis. In regard to premium price, silage in many ways costs less to the end user, and in regard to the Sorghum, it actually costs less to grow in our rotation, than for instance a barley crop would.
This interesting would love more videos like this
Very interesting video, I think with fall triticale silaged off at the end of June , another option is yellow field peas seeded at 4 bus per acre. So if you get can get to the end of august without frost, they should be close to blooming. Did some round bale pea silage the other year and bales tested up to 20 % protein , another advantage to peas is it’s putting high priced nitrogen back in the ground and not using it, my 2 cents😂👌
Thank you so much for watching and the feedback!
Your absolutely right, but we don't see peas around here much. The odd guy will have them, I'd be worried about the cold nights the same way that the cold nights would effect the Sorghum Sudan. I wonder if our discbines would cut low enough to pick them up and form a swath...???
@farminainteasy should be no problem cutting them with diskbine , the peas got 4 ft tall and cut like butter👌
Thanks @wilfharder!
Hopefully we can have all the rocks picked in the field we try that in. Might give that a go in 2025!
Hmmmm, interesting 🤔 Giving me something to think about with sorghum. Wonder how it will do this far north, but we do have long hours of daylight in the summer.
Thanks for watching this video, glad you enjoyed it. I've been curious on the Sorghum Sudan for a while now, I guess this is the year its happening! stay tuned! haha
Really really informative. Thanks. We have done a pea/oat greenfeed but not the best a dry feed, would be great in a silage bale though. We have had years where yellow peas are almost 6’ tall at 20% bloom.
Thanks for taking the time to watch this video! Peas are next on the list of curiosities around this farm, I was worried we wouldn't be able to cut low enough to pick them up given our rolling terrain, but I'm sure those 6' peas you had would form a swath really nicely! haha congrats on that crop, that's fantastic!
