Great informative video Skip. The dream farm definitely includes a no till drill one day! In the mean time doing the best I can with the same blends you've mentioned many times.
Excellent vid. You know some kinda chain lube that doesn't attract dust? Or...put some lube on there they looked clean like new. Or.. you maintain that thing to like aviation standards. 👌🤠
That’s one I have to admit I have not run. If it’s super heavy built - worth a shot. Being in farming as long as I have- it’s wild to see a few companies make implements cheap, light & not long lasting. GP is built like a tank. If Esch is- I’d give em a look. 👍
I spray later in spring so the clovers take off. Clethodim & crop oil. Or I mow them & clover takes over. Could run soybeans there as well. Clearly a guy could crimp them as well. I spray so clovers can flourish.
Trace minerals for soil? You talked Trace minerals like zinc, manganese, boron ect. On exodus podcast. I added selenium 90 from redmond mineral at 75 lbs a acre and still very low Trace mineral soil content. I been researching adding micros. You have any recommendations on lbs to acre? Help needed.
I love your Videos i just have one question when you plant in the fall with a no till drill do you terminate chemically your clover field or you plant right on top of the clover i will appreciate your answer
There’s my dirty secret …. All my clover fields - I run drill with the blend in it right through clover. I don’t kill it. It keeps the clover there then adds a ton more variety to it. If it’s lush clover - I might leave more clover out. It also improves soil drilling into clover too. But no- I don’t kill clover. It works amazing!!! Does NOT work with brassicas but it works great with rye, oats, peas, etc. 👍

Very good video. I've been using a very similar blend. I add a little sorghum for structure and a little dwarf essex rape/tillage radish.
How do you prepare the seed bed?
Also, do you mix your fertilizer with the seed? Throw it on top couple weeks after planting? Liquid or dry?
Excellent information thank you so much

Might try a wax based chain lube. Might not work but worth a shot. I use JD brand chain lube & its pretty good.
What do you think of Esch no till drills? Namely, there 12’ model that folds for road transport.

@@Iowa_Whitetail I’ve got the 12 foot model that folds for transport, 5.5” spacing and it weighs 8000 pounds.
Great video - Thanks. How do you terminate your Rye, Oats and Winter Wheat in the summer prior to reseeding again?
