- Planting my first Non GMO Soybeans from FBN. We're hopeful they do well and end up being a big opportunity for our farm. These are a 1.2 Non GMO Soybean from FBN that will hopefully be available as a F2F seed for next year as a specialty bean.

Non GMO today, CaseIH Quadtrac tomorrow .. 😂👍
That might be a bit farfetched 🤣🤣
Quadtrac is the best machine of his size.....
Really don't understand why y'all hate the Quadtrac.
@@fab8657 And thanks to my neighbors, the Steiger brothers, for getting the ball rolling way back in 1958.
@Les Brown I was 4 years old when Maurice and Douglass Steiger built their first tractor.
@Les Brown Bryan, son of Maurice, is running the show now. He is manufacturing Toreq scrapers.
My wife's uncle does pretty well in Ohio growing all organic non GMO. He sells directly to organic breweries and food companies, no middle man.
That's where the money is... Exactly correct
@ what is the standard for organic in america? if you wanna lable your stuff organics in new zealand, you need certificates for it. need to test the soil and 100% no chemical spray.
@ about the same in new zealand. thanks for your information🙂
On the farm i work at we transfered around 4000 acres to organic farming in 2013 and it has really been successfull. We were in the first farms to use gmo when they arrived on the market and in the first farms to go back to non-gmo crops
I am interested to see how these do! Thanks for keeping us posted!
So....one of your videos popped up on my home page yesterday. For some reason I clicked on it just to see what is was about. Well....about 6 or 7 of your videos later I still don't understand why I find it interesting..... please don't take that wrong. I am a builder here in Corpus Christi, TX and have never farmed before but love seeing how it all works now. We have lots of fields here....corn, cotton, and milo. Now I will understand more of what these farmers do as I drive by their fields. Keep up the hard work as I know farmers tend to be forgotten about till there is a shortage of some vegi at the store. Thanks!
My 3 year old and I watch your videos all the time anytime he doesnt see you on camera he asks. "Where did they guy go"? Great videos hello from Bentley and Jeremy!
I love the way you advertise FBN your not like some UA-camrs who take half of the vid advertising the sponsorship
never stop farming zack you are my best farming channal on youtube have a good day.
June 3rd, 2019...the day that The Millennial Farmers embraces the Millennial within
Lol!!
Hey Zach thanks so much for sharing your knowledge about farming with me. Your a great teacher and communicator. Keep up the good work. Chip
It is great you put the date on the video. Please due this with future vids. Thank You
Amazing the difference in soil moisture between this video and the one from yesterday. Shows what your fall tillage program means to you in the spring. My cousin grows quite a few acres of non GMO beans every year. He loves the premium price he gets at harvest.
In Switzerland we all have non gmo! It's standard! ;)
We do mostly non GMO or IP beans on our farm for the food grade market in eastern Asia. A good weed control method is a decent preemerge(we used valtera up till now but it's apparently being discontinued) and having varieties that close up the canopies fairly soon helps. Yields can lag behind crusher beans somewhat but we have a really good local elevator and can get a good premium for these varieties.
Back in about 1987 the farmer that I worked for had a 2 wheel drive 6 cylinder Massey Ferguson that was shod with flotation tyres.
That tractor would have laughed at your 40 acres of "wetland".
If it had been coupled to a power harrow and fitted with a seed broadcaster on the front end, your last 40 acres could have been seeded in less than 2 days.
2 weeks ago, even if it was raining at the time
I've just checked "Tractor data" and it was a Massey 699, about 100Hp and weighed only about 10'000 pounds.
By today's standards a flea that can skip across water so long as it's wearing big light boots.
Back in about 1979, I overloaded my bosses 2 wheel drive Ford 7600 tractor at a sugar beat factory lime depository.
The gross weight was over 46,000 pounds, but the weight on the front axle was less than 2,000 pounds.
I like 4WD but it's not always necessary (or of any use)
Very cool you're trying some non gmo. With seed prices where they are vs the market prices, non gmo has had my attention this year. Can't wait to follow along and see how they grow.
I've said it before, I don't know anything about farming other than crop rotation. You could consider me a city slicker but I'm fascinated by your channel. Good work!
We found a good market in white corn several years ago an really enjoy working with them on it. The premium on is good. Now this year we're also trying some new corn in the white corn hoping it does as good or even better than the trade an true numbers
Awesome video zack you have made me start my own UA-cam channel on my farm
so I suscribed to your channel
Pierre Perrin thank you for subscribing I hope you enjoy my videos please tell your friends and family if you enjoy my videos I post every Sunday at noon
That's awesome! Good luck with it!
MN Millennial Farmer thank you for your support I hope to one day get to were you are you make some awesome videos keep up the good work
I'm really excited to see all this grow and the whole process. Only joined in when you were collecting all of last seasons' fields so havent seenw hat you do when you are waiting for it to all grow
If you can find a market,I would go ahead. In my area that market(non GMO) got flooded about 2 years after I got into it. Didn't make sense on paper after that.
And we have officially hit one big advertisement video
I suggest you unsubscribe and get your money back. Oh,wait......
Regardless, this is the truth about what I'm actually doing on my farm.
I'm sure the non GMO beans will do good, Its the management that the hard part, When I last planted conventional beans I had to cultivated to help control weeds. Then its the years after with new weed flushes that show up. good luck.
I have the same sunglasses 👍👍👍🍺 thanks for the video..... I'm no farmer but I do live on 2 acres and seeing the hard work you do, motivates me to keep up on my garden, yard and animals lol thank you👍
Ps. I'm a millennial
You would do great at a TED-talk, about the difficulties of farming in our global warming-world, the time and money you need to invest in 'green' technologies is crazy, but i applaud you for doing it to be clear :-)
Love your videos I'm from West Texas we are in the cotton fields lol. My granddad was a farmer would love to get into farming
Finally some sense to you! Bravo 👏 broo
When we get things ready and start to get into farming, I've been really keeping an eye on this as a way in the door of the industry. Working my ass off to make as much money as possible to throw it all into this nutty dream🤣. Obviously starting out is daunting and saving cash wherever possible and possibly selling for a premium going non gmo seems like an option worth looking at. Thanks Zach.
I'm farming in the Netherlands we aren't even allowed to use gene modified seed
Gijs Theuws what’s the general consensus of the population? Do most people think GMOs are bad?
Holy shit I'm from the Netherlands and I didn't even know this
We actually plant half of our beans as NON GMO beans. It really is nice having that premium. For us they aren’t bad the weeds are defiantly a challenge . Making sure you get your residuals down is very important. What we plant is called emerge beans they are sold to China actually. As far as yield last year on our best ground we averaged 80 bushels per acre, but we did have sudden death in some fields and that hurt our total yield last year so we maybe averaged 65 bushel per acre on the non gmo beans. I just thought you would be interested in our experience. Good luck 👍
That's awesome, thanks!
we have for years and we tapped into the European and Asian market. we only grow non GMO Crops. we get premiums for all our crops.
Ciao, from Italy!☺
Sometimes I believe you are just a brick or two short of a full load, but that's what makes me watch your videos. I guess it's because I know I'm a brick or two short of a full load myself. 🤣
Keep up the great videos.
God bless you and your family.
Keep us updated. Tilled ground. Clean seedbed. Let’s watch for waterhemp.
Really enjoy your videos how you mix family and farming. Love seeing your strategy of planting but love the combining most. Hurry up and start the harvest already. Lol
I think we might try som non GMO beans next year. I’m excited to see how you get along with yours.
We had some last year and this year in Ohio and it worked out well. I recommend it!
We have been all Non GMO soybeans on our farm for years. They have been yielding well, but weed control can be tricky.
HATS OFF TO YOU FOR USING NON GMO
Organic dairy man out of Eastern S Dakota raises organic beans and he trucks then to Rochester MN. I believe. He has a good channel going.
Nothing wrong with trying something different. If you don't try it , you'll never know.
The ONLY something different, was that he was planting GMO/FRANKEN Soybeans in the past. Soybeans and ALL plants started out as NON GMO by Our Creator.
@@juans6639 true, but to go back to non GM after 20 years of growing GM is trying a different way of farming. There will have been advances in the sprays that can be used on the non GM since they last grew it and aiming for a different market from the norm is trying something different. In farming nowadays you've got to be willing to try different things to move your business forward
Hoping and praying for a nice, slightly warmer and slightly drier than normal remainder of summer into fall! Unfortunately it doesn't look like that though the analogs were bumper harvests so maybe you'll get a bit of a reprieve! Greetings from a Bemidji native.
have fun with the sprayer. keep good records and watch for water hemp
Good video Zach I haven’t been watching much in a few weeks we been wide open picking blueberries ! We should be finished in around a few weeks so everybody eat Ga. grown berries! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for taking the chance and giving them a try.
New to the channel. Binge watched it all night have to work this morning. Thank goodness I get off early lol
There are a lot of NON GMO's grown in my area, mostly IP's (identity protected). A Pre emerge coverage is important to suppress the weeds. as well as careful timing spraying the in season, some chemicals go on "hot" and will harm the soya plant. spraying before flower will help not reducing yield.
Should’ve used a John Deere 70 and grain drill to plant the non-gmo soybeans!
A millennial couldn’t figure out how to start a 70
@@mitchbehling9054 I'm a millennial (26years old) I'm not no farmer but I do have a 1955 John deere 70 gifted down from my grandfather and correct me if I'm wrong I believe to start it I have to turn on the fuel to the poni motor, (carb) then turn ignition on, then choke it then she may be good to start
Let her rev lil while. Glad it’s still in the family
@@mitchbehling9054 yes sir I havent started yet, undecided if I should even try or not
Just remember the pony is worth almost what the tractor is Start it B an experience for you When it jumps an inch off the ground when push lever in
Your really good at being willing to try be stuff
On my farm all crops not gmo hello from Croatia
I would definetly think the market is much bigger for these. Especially since others countries know better than to eat gmo, so called foods. Hope you have great success with all your crops this yr. Been a tough yr, in most places.
Thanks for sharing and hope it all works out for you
Looking forward to seeing how these do. Not that I think I’ll ever switch over to non-GMO, but I know there are premium markets out there. The one thing I don’t like seeing are the guys doing non-GMO and organic, and end up with a giant field of weeds. To each their own I guess though.
Great hearing the update as always.
I really would have liked to come and work on a farm in America for the experience and see how you guys do it your way... I am from South Africa and I always wanted to see how you guys do it... You are doing a great job and I learn a lot....
You have to try different methods of farming from time to time in order to keep your operation current...even if that means going back to non-GMO seed and seeing for yourself if this can be of benefit to you. Good call Zack...take care.
How are you handling the spray program. Will these be cultivated. Or a pre-emergent spray program. Can you do a video on that. Hope you had a great day so far gorgeous weather here rain coming in tomorrow.
That's all we plant. We dairy farm and have seen in real time, the difference it makes in cattle. There alot of different info out there for sure. That's why we should always do our research and take in both sides of the equation with an open and sensible mind.
What difference does it make??
In germany most Farmers used to buy non gmo beans👍
Very interesting how this crop will perform be watching with interest 🤗🤗🤗🇦🇺
Not sure how my ancestors farmed on their UA-cam Channel with NonGMO crops. It must have been disastrous. :P
If industrial hemp is legal in your area, you may want to look into that crop as an alternative.
Look at the video length :)
What does 4:20 have to do with industrial hemp production?
I think Zach’s a blazer his video was 4minutes and 20 seconds it’s obvious
Comparing Herbicides For Weed Control In Non-GMO soybeans
(Interim Report)
Purpose:
Poor weed control in food grade non-GMO soybean causes significant losses in grain
yield and crop premium. Comparative trials were conducted at multiple locations over
multiple years so as to identify weed management programs that consistently provided
acceptable weed control.
Methods:
From 2008 to 2012, common herbicide treatments were applied in a randomized
complete block design at 3 different locations across Ontario (Eastern, Central and
Southwestern Ontario). Weed efficacy, expressed as a percentage of the un-sprayed
control at 4 and 8 weeks after application were collected. Grain yield was also collected
Results:
Herbicide rates used in the tables below: Broadstrike RC (35 g/ac), Classic (14 g/ac),
Cleansweep (Pursuit at 126 mL/ac and Basagran Forte at 0.7 L/ac), Conquest LQ
(Pursuit at 126 mL/ac and Sencor at 250 mL/ac), Dual II Magnum (0.46 L/ac), Fierce
(experimental product, rate not available), Frontier Max (390 mL/ac), Prowl H2O (1
L/ac), Pursuit (126 mL/ac), Sencor DF (0.233 kg/ac)
Table 1: Control of pigweed eight weeks after application of various herbicide
treatments at different locations in Ontario from 2008-2012.

best 2U young man and I wish you well in all your endeavors. there is actually a bit of humor in this. now you got something to sell to the people who complained about you growing GMO crops.
I think the same way as you about GMO soys but in our area for the last several years elevators have offered undeniable premiums for non GMOs. My experience has been that GMOs branch out and non GMOs are just one stem full of pods so I think in 30 inch rows you will be losing yield. I'm not sure if all non GMOs are that way
Was that a Macho Man Randy Savage impersonation at the end of the video? Someone's gonna find himself in the Danger Zone unless he snaps into a Slim Jim! Oh Yeah!!
I ain't scared!!
@@MillennialFarmer The cream always rises to the top, yeah.
Good for you! Keep experimenting, keep trying new things! Please update us in the future, I would absolutely LOVE to hear how these turn out! (I'd also be interested in yield comparison, but that may be asking a bit much.) I do love your reasoning though. "I still think GMO seeds are great, but man if we could get these non-gmo seeds to work we could make a ton of money because those people pay tons for organic plants!" hahaha Love it!
Gotta be honest about it!
It will be interesting to see how those beans do.
Drill them into rye as soon as seed head forms. Then roll rye 4 to 6 days later.
Hope they do very good for y'all
love your channel I might get with FBN in a year and use your code
cool we soybean for tofu like the Chanel very educative thank your the good work .
In Denmark food made form non-gmo is very popular at lest that’s what I have experienced
I am from Argentina and close to where I live a farmer does planting without agrochemicals, this man achieves an average 200kg wheat crop lower than nearby fields that if they use agrochemicals, the difference is that while the last ones have a cost of 350 dollars per hectare. this man only needs 100 dollars,
also here the crops without agrochemicals have a value superior to the rest of 30% to 50%
there are farmers of that style in usa?
lmao @ the ending... hahahaha
Wow, that sure is a change for you guys! It's sad to see how misinformation has changed the way we buy food, but hey, there's a market for it! We've been planting non-GMO Soybeans here in Central IL for a few years now. It's a hassle, but at least we've got that premium!
Good idea to try new things. Will you ever give organic a try? Understand you can sell at a premium.
That isn't out of the question, but it would require a lengthy transition period and a lot of changes
Didn't think he'd ever leave...🍔
Hey Zack my name is Logan Mecham, awesome videos watch them all the time, what part of Minnesota do you farm, my family and I farm bout 3500 acres of wheat, potatoes, and sugar beets in southeast Idaho
Yep
Lol the Hogan ref
I am Indian🇮🇳👳 farmers, but India farm land is small, maize/🌽 production is good, 2019 price is best, thanks🙏🙇
Great video i like how u always doing r and d and are willing to try new things. I hope it works out. Hello from pa.
Why do you plant 95-100 day corn but you plant early group 1 beans? We live in upstate New York so we have the similar weather to you and we plant 1.8-2.2 beans and 90-100 day corn
When marketing your non-GMO beans, how does the buyer really know they are non-GMO? Are there specific traits or visuals that help a buyer know that a bean is a non-GMO? I would expect the differences between a GMO and non-GMO would be at the microscopic level. Interested to see how the non-GMO beans do!
Difference is at the molecular level. Requiring lab work to tell the difference, e.g. PCR
hope they do damn good per acre,and sure be interesting to see how well
Keep us posted
Always interesting to see, that the USA is the total contrast to Germany, where GMO has no chance so far.
I will be very interested too see how this turns out. Thanks
Spoiler alert. It's gonna grow and look just like GMO beans.
Keep us updated with these beans interesting stuff
Super interested in how this progresses please give us updates on this field thru the summer.
Interesting
How do you clean combine so you dont get cross contamination?
My neighbor tried it and they found a hand full of gmo beans in his load (so they claimed) and rejected the hole load.
I like the idea.
Keep the great videos coming.
I can't see a few beans contaminating an entire load? We should be able to get the machine really clean with a quick vacuuming.
After cleaning the combine we will harvest a couple acres and sell them as crush, after that you should be good. My experience is that buyers are extremely picky but if you meet the requirements it pays$$
This makes me wish I was in farming.
In my country GMO is forbbiden....we use only no GMO seeds...i dont know how is it in USA but we after harvest season left soybean seed for next season and next season same, (We dont buy every seasons seed from big seed company, instead we use ours) rest we sell. Yield per Ha (metric units, 1Ha is about 2.2 us acre, and 1kg is about 0.27 bushels), in good year yield about 5.3t/Ha, in imperial us units is almost 80 bushels per acre...
Its good to see that you yanks plant no GMO soybean
If you can combine them first come bean time..will save you having to clean the combine out so you don't get GMO beans mixed in with them..
Good on ya man!
Another great video! Can you talk about what your herbicide plan is with the non-GMO beans will be?
You cant use herbicide on non gmo crops...its old school steel in the field cultivating that is used for weed control
Good on mate, from new Zealand
Do you guys plant a second crop in the fall ? Here in pa we plant we plant winter wheat. That’s harvested late June early July followed up by late corn that’s an early germination for late fall.
I plant 300 acres every year non gmo beans... Clean my own seed to plant every year... The savings from that alone is a big deal... I run cold iron threw them to help with weed control because diesel fuel as expensive as it is is alot cheaper than chemical... Sure I still have to spray but not as much... I have done this the last 30 years... No they won't compete with a gmo bean bushels per acre but the market I have for them pays a hell of alot better... Best of luck to you guys...
I tried to give Onelonelyfarmer a suggestion on his hay crop about M-Pact... But he gave me a smart ass reply that got him unsubed... I spray M-Pact on my beans when I'm spraying for weed control... The test plots sprayed were 6 to 8 inches taller... Mix it right in to the weed killer your using... An extra 5 to 10 bushel an acre makes it worth it for me... Just a suggestion I'm not saying it's right for you but it Definately works in my fields
Curious as to the price per unit for none GMO beans. Would like to know the final tally After spray and harvest. I think a changeup with herbicides is actually going to be a good thing. Before your time. Your dad will know this. Grasses use to be the hardest thing to control and are now the easiest. That’s what you’re going to run into with non-GMO’s
Love the vids
