Another great visit with Farmer MD.

Ive been no till for over 20 years it takes a couple years to really see a difference. 7 years ago finally convinced my father inlaw and his brother to switch now with the drastically higher impute costs they wished the started sooner. I can see where it might not work in areas where it doesn't freeze. Also the soil health had drastically improved organic matter is no joke for good healthy soil.

For me, I found that having a consistent stand was the most important thing I could do to increase my corn yield. I tried to do whatever it took to have a good stand. Change down pressure, speed, seed depth, etc. Once the seed was in the ground, I couldn't make it any better. Thanks for the video

We've been experimenting with No-till corn here in WNY for about 10 years. We started with no-tilling corn on soybean stubble and have had success. As far as stands go, I noticed uneven emergence and or just plain skips in growth...we have a modern planter with air down-pressure and have added a few components for helping close in the seed furrow, so I think what we believe it was is we were only planting a single-stack corn and seed maggot was the issue. We switched to all double stack (below-ground protection), and it seemed to help. We also strip till 1/2 of our corn acres into previous year's wheat stubble/medium red clover cover crop.

Think I have the same yield monitor as you😂. Kudos for helping educate the youth.

Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video.

If it was a dry out there as it was in the Midwest, tillage could have made a difference in soil moisture that would not show up in a wetter year.

Good video.

The devils in the details, you’re using less fuel, less wear & tear on your equip, less time, much better for your soil. A no-tiller said “ not all about yield, it’s how much goes in your pocket”. $$

👀🙄🐾👍 Interesting Donnie

We dropped plant pop this spring and have bigger cobs...but 20 row cobs are typically not bigger than a 14 row cob that has enormous kernels and is 10 kernels longer.

I'm not a no till fan but a friend of mine rents my uncle's land and he got 285 bushels/ acre. It's hard to dispute those numbers. from 2 years ago.

Might want to look into a older cheap grain cart to have there when the truck is gone

Or just a gravity wagon with a hydraulic auger.

I can’t wait to here this...

Did you find out who was joy-riding in your bean field?

I miss combining corn....

is there a Difference? Yes, if you have sandy soil and moisture there is no...but if you have heavy ground there is..

I've been watching other farm you tube videos where they have combine headers with a belt instead of an auger. They have problems with dirt and other debris getting hung in belt.I have never seen any problems with an auger. I prefer an auger.

What works best for me is ahhh never mind FJB!!!!

I hope you don't make decisions on such simplistic data
