Harvesting My First No Till Corn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The yield was good for our area on the no till corn. It suffered some from deer pressure, but being no tilled didn't hurt it. Although, I was seeing more plants attempting a second ear in the tillage corn. The tillage corn averaged 175. The no till made 170 on the better field. The no till property has been no tilled for many years. This was not the first time. But first time for corn in over a decade.
Good morning. We’ve run notill corn on our muck for at least 12 years, so far it’s worked good for us, we do it because when ya work up muck it makes it loose and fluffy, the notill helps keep it more firm.
Greetings from Central Alabama! I really Enjoy your videos, we use older Ford/New Holland equipment too. Keep the videos coming!
Sure Flex hybrids out of Minnesota has non GMO corn for less than $100 a bag. Order online and free shipping. I have been using them for about 6 years now with good luck
I'll look into them. Thanks
You should give (hybrid 85) a try it's conventional corn and it's 85 dollars a bag and we have been planting it for the past three years and it has made it through a drought it has made it through the wettest year and it has made it through hail it's great stuff for the price.
I'm mostly worried about the wet. Dry years are comfortable conditions for our soil.
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the explaining what is going on.
Congrats on a good no till corn crop! You mentioned that the landlord would like you to plant cover crops out there. If you ever do that and go to no till corn in there the spring after, the best advice I can give you is to load nitrogen with the planter. Especially with rye. A lot of people, including my dad and myself, have had a lot of success planting corn green into cereal rye while putting on 50-75 units of N with the planter. The corn seems to love that extra boost in the beginning since the rye has so much of the N tied up. Also, can't remember for sure where in Ohio you are, but we are in Northwest Indiana, about 30 miles off the southern tip of Lake Michigan. I tend to agree with your comment about 100-105 day corn. There are still plenty of guys around here that love the 110-112 day, but it just doesn't yield much better and doesn't dry down as well as a good 103 day in this area. Pioneer 0574 and 0306 have been absolute rockstars for us the last few years. Concerning that hybrid you've been planting, since it is a conventional number, are there any patents on it? Would you be able to hold some over and plant it next year without getting in trouble?
l planted my corn mid to late May and it didn't come out of the ground until late June early July. Most of it hasn't dried down enough to combine. If I'm lucky, I might be able to combine 10 out of 105 acres. We were able to get our beans off, but they didn't yield good at all. We have crop insurance, but it doesn't pay enough to make our payments. Luckily, we'll be able to scrape by, but not by a lot. Hopefully next year is better
That was my experience with crop insurance as well... the one time I DID get a decent payout, it was about $20 bucks more than the premium for the insurance had cost!! Why I dumped it after a few years and just went back to the $100/crop/county CAT insurance that the gubmint made us buy to be in the program so we could put the crops in loan for the price guarantee... Nowadays if I was still row cropping I don't know if I'd bother with the program at all, everything's been cut so much...
You can try strip till , can make your own out of an old nh3 applicator, or an old chiesel plow, and wavey coulters, .A 4 or 8 cant be hard to build , and CHEAP..
I've saw a simple strip till unit that used a row crop cultivator bar and put a no till Coulter mounted in front of a shallow shank.
Great, why didn't you bring the TW out with 3 wagons to take home? the TR delivers an awesome example
It spent time at my uncle's getting the AC and some electrical stuff straightened out. I hadn't picked it up yet.
Nice looking corn harvest.
You have to have sub soil moisture to have that little amount of rain!!! In Kansas this year corn burned up. No subsoil and 110 degree days killed it . Irrigated corn was decent. No till is a good practice. You get more rain than we do I’m sure!!
17:10 “It’s not the end, it’s not the beginning of the end but it’s perhaps the end of the beginning” i think Winston Churchill said that.
He did...
Look at NK1082 and Croplan 5115
Hybrid 85 is non gmo and under $100 was impressed how it handles drought
How does it handle swimming? Drought tolerance does very little for me. It was "dry" this year and I had my best corn ever.
@@boehmfarm4276 we had lots of rain early here in Oklahoma and it seemed to do good it was my first year planting it
It looks like your gathering chain on the second from left is still trying to bunch up. Not sure though.
It's a problem with the row shields. They are too wide and can't be narrowed anymore without modification. I haven't gotten to the modification yet.
Good stuff
Dekalb Seed in the 1970 had a great verity of seed corn. If memory serves me ipthey had anywhere from 80 to 140 day. They are close to your area.👍
Length or girth? An age old question!
That's what she said...
Wisconsin was very dry this year as well are corn and hay were below average but we had record wheat harvest
Happy New Year How Is Bandit ? Is he Okay
He's fine. As far as videos, seems he's got a case of writers block, and making a mountain out of a mole hill about editing.
@@boehmfarm4276 okay thanks for the update
We got blue clay in Michigan by me.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Hello enjoyed your video have a great day
What varieties? How do you apply your nitrogen?
Tillage corn was anhydrous. No till was liquid 28 broadcast preplant with burn down.
great video. thank you.
👍❤👍🌽
Good video.
Going from tillage to no-till will see a yield reduction for the first 2 years or so because of the soil structure and lack of OM on the soil surface plus the residue hasnt broken down yet
The no till field has been no tilled before me for many years.
