I played a drinking game. One shot for every time Kevin says "root" and let me tell you, I... umm... wait... what was I talking about again??? ~hiccup~

Very good explaination Kevin. Thank you. The things The Lord has provided us on this planet are amazing. The farmers use what is here to sustain our lives. It's truly an art form that's underappreciated by some. You're truly great people.

I'm glad to see the boss is getting out of his camera shyness

Really enjoyed seeing the difference in the 2 different ryes. Have a great blessed Sunday and week also. Your daughter needs to get her Class A CDLs for a backup to her beauty schooling.

Your dog looked like he was happy to be with you in the field.

Hello Rhonda and Kevin I enjoy your videos

I really enjoyed the pictures in the end, Kevin looks like he is looking out over the fields hoping for a good year of crops :) And then doggo looking all happy to be out with you :)

Oh, and I appreciate the Doggo pictures. A great old farming soul there.

I enjoy watching your videos it makes my day go better hope you have a blessed day

Thank you Kevin ! I learn a lot from you guys keep up the hard work👍👍👍👍

Beautiful place Much love from iraq 🏵🌺⚘

The Old Equipment is Well Made and holds up well especially with the Maintenance it receives. 👍

We got one field of rye off. Last year we planted a mixture of rye grass and triticale. We really like it. Lot of tonnage and good feed value. Those roots are what the corn plants eat. We plant no till in our rye stubble

Great stuff Ronda and Kevin, as was said before, a man outstanding in His field:):)

Thanks for the agronomy lesson 👍 learned some things

Love these episodes with info and experienced teacher. I learn plenty from Kevin and Rhonda in the kitchen canning and gveneral meals. Keep it coming please.

Good morning, have a great Sunday.. God Bless.

I always learn something from your shows! Thanks!

Really enjoy the videos that you share. Like learning about your operations and seeing your family working together.

Thanks for explaining things. We never grew those types of crops, so I did not know much about them.

A very informative and interesting video thanks Kevin and Rhonda

kevin is very intelligent . I feel good when our farmers are so smart ⭐ Great work.Ken Machine NC 😊 John 3 16 ❤️

Brilliant explanations for us novices. Thanks. Great vid as ever

Well I hope this is a Good sign that this years crop will be bountiful for the farm, cool to have Kevin explaining what your all doing and experimenting with on the farm. Rhonda another interesting video for sure.

Very interesting you are in spring,it is Autumn down in New Zealand that is some good looking rye grass thanks for the video

beautiful grass

That was a very nice video on explaining the difference between the two grasses to a non farmer

Hi Ronda/ Kev, Crazy weather this time of the year! Snow, cold one day and 60's/ 70's the next. Hard to adjust sometimes for nature and human life. Your fields are lookin' great considering all the fluctuations in temperatures. Lookin' forward to gardening as we head into the month of May. As always, have a great week!

👍👍👍 great to learn something today. Love the dog 🐕.

I sure liked the video... good stuff.

Annual rye is always what we plant as a cover crop for the winter. It only gets about 6 to 8 inches tall, spring comes early and we plow it under it doesn't have time to make the root mass that your crop has but adds good humus to the soil..

Now I like that, Kevin dives right into the " Root " of the Rye Grass growth. Sorry I had to do that Ronda. Just my off sided since of humor. I have an old girl Chocolate Lab "Mocha" that follows me around where ever I go around here, And loves to ride with me. She is 13 and has that Grey around her face too. I wish I could put a picture of her on here so you could see her. Loved the video, Have a great day.

GREAT VIDEO learned alot I didnt knowabout roots

Great video.

My grandfather use to say snow is the poor man's fertilizer

Thanks for info 👌

Very good video,keep it up 👍

Great rye grass

this rye looks good

I didnt know yall had a lab that looks just like my dog did.had to put him down may 6th last year ..but the resemblance wow!

I just love your videos, I miss my dog.

I noticed the long barns in the background. I assume poultry or hog operation. Nice looking crop. Beautiful soil also.

Ronda I'm sorry but I had to chuckle when Kevin said Rute. Because my New England accent has me pronouncing it Root. Lol But I loved the video And Chloe didnt want to be left behind and miss the fun 😁

Yeah, think we all say it a little different. 😁😅

Really informative talk by Kevin there 🤔👍 how's the transmission repair on the challenger comin along 🙄

I definitely include cereal rye in my mix for covers. Don't spread N being organic. We'd be knee high, but we're grazing and did cut some with the mower set at the highest level, putting back an ag bag of forlage. Their are 2 other areas we will cut and bag, should get 3 bags total, and the rest is intense grazing. We'll move the cattle back to regular pasture in about a week and it will recover to about knee high, maybe a tad more. You just have to pack them in to real tight paddocks, or they will try to eat around the forage that isn't their favorite. In late May we'll plant. Just a different perspective, thought I'd share it. No right or wrong answers. We've spin on so much alfalfa and clover that it's always coming up anytime the soil starts getting warm. The rye crowds it out, but with some grazing and cutting, they get just enough light to stay in the running. Nothing wrong with some nitrogen fixers struggling along all year long. As much as I love the concept of cereal rye, the row crop is where the buck meets the road, and I have a tough time getting it to mechanically terminate. I just bends over and pops right back up. Gotta love those roots though. But my tillage radishes are going to open that soil up plenty.

I like rye grass hay it makes some of the best

I echo Billy's comments, a very simple but easily understood explanation of cereal rye development. Now if you want another potential topic; show and explain how a breeding wheel works for keeping track of the milk cow's production length, gestation, etc. I always enjoy the videos on this channel.

Your clay soil looks just like my yard. I put down some annual rye today based on someone's recommendation. Then I thought ANNUAL, why didn't I get perennial??? But I guess it will be okay.

Page 117 The old Chinese saying that "every highway leads to Peking" is stll true.

how much of a crimp in the operation does that big tractor being down do you need that to do the heavy work?

How much feed is left in your trench

George Washington grew substantial amounts of rye on his plantation..he distilled it for ease of transporting and to keep weavE

What variety of annual ryegrass?

I have a question for you about the rye grass. If you disc it up after cutting, will that help break up the clay a little because of the root material in the soil. I have pretty heavy clay on my little piece of ground and always thought maybe plowing material in might help, but I don't know nearly as much about it as you folks. Another interesting video, keep them coming. Have a good day.

Yes, adding any organic material too the clay soil benefits it greatly.

Would you no be as well cut the grass 3 or4 times for silage and get better value out of your grass

Winter rye vs perennial rye vs cereal rye vs rye grass ?

Will you guys are having the warmer weather and probably the rains also, north of Michigan up by the bridge. We are almost in a drought been dry and cold not freezing cold but cold, rains we been getting doesn't even count to be rain, just short showers so us farmers put here are getting worried about our hay season. Grasses around here are 2 to 3 inches tall in most places. That's counting everything hay fields that been maintained to other people fields that hasn't. So good video of explaining. But one thing am curious about I know you guys fertilize, your fields but do you guys disc down way hight of crops to put back in the ground for hummus/ for compost as well to build up the soil?? Other than that again good video.👍 and thanks for sharing☺. Last but not least cut dog ❤☺

greetings madam; it is odd that he said the grasses had lots of ruts, when all this time i thought ruts was what tires left in the soft dirt or mud. if he meant roots, then that would be pronounced like rooting for the home team...............g

Can u graze cattle in the field with just rye grass or do u plant more than just that? I'm thinking of planting my field and getting some beef cows

👍😀

Not for us since we use it as a winter cover crop and plow it under in the Spring to grow a higher yielding crop.
