Really enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work. As a grandson of an Indiana Farmer watching your videos brings back alot of fond memories on my grandpa's farm in Montgomery County. From one Hoosier to another... Awesome work.

Thank you! My goal is to provide interesting information and also make it enjoyable to watch. I appreciate the kind words!

The soybeans don’t look too bad considering 👍🏻. You are lucky to have the disc. In the old days, I would have had to use a plow. Our weather patterns sure leave a guy guessing. Thin on the corn is better when you are starting out building soil filth! Your corn will be good 🙂. Hybrid Sudan grass will reseed next year 😡. This would be excellent to put some cattle on! That would help next year as well, PLUS you get another manure credit.

It’s always nice to have other organic grower’s perspective on things. I appreciate your input! Yes, I thought about the Sorghum Sudan reseeding but I thought I would give it a try. I would love to put cattle out there but I don’t have the time or labor for another iron in the fire right now. Thanks for watching! I enjoy seeing your videos too!

I like that idea!

I feel your pain, it can be devastating to watch weeds take over your crops and not be able to change it. Hang in there next year will be better, thats what I always say. I plant a new cover crop to me.. called Low Boy rye in my pumpkins in the case of not being able to terminate it. It stays much shorter. Pig weed is the devil. I use a flail mower, and love it.. They mulch everything. The corn looks great

Thank you! I have heard of guys using wheat instead of cereal rye because of this reason. I will look into that Low Boy rye. Sounds like a great option. Thanks for watching!

organic beans are a struggle, some years are good and clean other years are terrible. Glad to see you back! We also have a rubin 10, we can't run over 7-8 miles an hour or it plugs. what variety corn do like?

Thanks! I really like the Rubin but other times I wonder if a Salford 5200 would have been a better choice. I’ve been planting Great Harvest Organics. Last year I had 55G3GH. It was really good corn. They didn’t offer that variety this year so the corn in the video is 55E4GH. Thanks for watching!

Great job you're doing out there. Sorry for my naïve question as I'm not a farmer ... yet (tryin to become one🙂). I'm just curious what was your corn final yield? If you planted 34,000 and had 24,000 stands was your yield based on the 24,000 harvested? What happened to those 10,000 that stalked?

Thank you! I estimated the yield was 175 bushels per acre. That is based on the grain cart scales and how much is in the grain bin. As far as the population goes, all that green clover biomass made a rough and inconsistent seedbed. Some seeds were planted at 2” deep, others were only half an inch deep. The shallow planted seeds emerged very late because it was dry for a couple weeks after planting. When they finally did emerge, they were covered up with dirt when I was cultivating. Thanks for watching! Great question by the way!

Going to try some relay soybeans or roller crimp next year?

I probably should after this year!! I will only have 35 acres of soybeans next year. The corn isn’t off yet, hopefully by next week. I have heard earlier planted cereal rye has a better success rate than late planted rye. Would you agree?
