  • On today’s episode, we headed back into the combine to one of our favorite farms, Kristin & Rusty's, for a busy day of combining soybeans, plus filled the last of our grain bins, fixed one of the broken bins, I got sick, I accidentally ruined our best farm, and we finished soybean harvest. On to corn now!

    The decade of manure + the added fertility of you high management likely created a perfect environment for white mold. We just dealt with white mold on all of our beans in which the corn got chicken litter. When we were in fields where there was no manure on before corn there was no white mold

    Agriculture is a science. You will figure out, when you aren't run down and sick, what happened with your beans. Just remember how well you've done in the other fields. Incredible how you're all interchangeable. Makes things run so smoothly, at least the 3 of you make it look organized. Great job! You have many things to be thankful Cole. Down here in Warren County, things aren't so good. It's been dry all summer. When it did rain, it was a major storm with wind, hail, small tornadoes. Then back to hot. Your mind is on continual fast forward it seems. Getting the last bit of the farm cleaned up. It looks fantastic compared to the first videos. ❤😊

    Re the bad soybean area. If u applied some kind of enrichment, it may have been contaminated. Soil may have more compaction or old contamination of either a chemical or a wind blown disease. The roots were dead and the stalks could be sent to lab for ID. I woudl repeat the same next yr and watch that area during growing to see if u see plants r dying .Nutrients obviously weren’t getting to plant

    Excess Nitrogen = Less beans?
    I can't recall exactly, but something to do with too much nitrogen, and you will get more foliage, and less bean.
    So sometimes the most fertile soil, can be a hindrance?
    So you likely improved your soil, but reduced your bean harvest for this year. (next year will likely be insane though?)

    We had company come out and pump where a dairy barn when we bought a farm, was big bucks to suck up poop. Which the DNR said had to be done. Than we back filled it.

      It's not that big of a deal. It will just need to be pump into a honey wagon and disced or knifed into the field. The worst case scenario is they may need to pay to have a sample tested but probably not. Hog manure gets spread all over from hog confinements.
