What about adjustable front chaffer manual adjust for wheat the book says 24mm open for S790 john deere combine
those quarter wraps look great. what holds that back end of them in place? i dont see any clamp or piece that catches to hold up the back. ???
We ran our new Calmers concaves in winter wheat here in western New York. They worked great, can’t wait to run them in soybeans, grain sorghum and corn!
We love to hear it! We can't wait to hear how harvest goes for you this fall!
Wish you could come to the outdoor farm Show in Woodstock Ontario
We have talked about getting up to a show in Canada sometime soon! We will be at Husker Harvest Days during that week this year.
@@CalmerCornHeads pretty sure you'd have a good market here. Hopefully do our corn head after this year.
any shows in michigan coming up?
We will be over at Farm Science Review that is in London, OH. Other than that we will be at Fort Wayne Farm Show that will be next year!
Very impressive!! It seems very practical to use these fillers in the concaves, I would like to see what the normal concave of round bars is like or whether it is also modified
Our round bar concaves are modified in the sense that the gap is wider between bars. We do have other videos that show closer up views of the concaves!
Thanks again
Thanks
Thanks for the great videos
What about in beans? You don’t get more unthreshed pods?
We have inserts that go into the concaves to close the gaps. Check out our pinned video on our channel! Thanks!
Informative video.
How difficult is it to loose the music in these videos!!!!!!!! When u see him in public the music doesn't magically start
Thank you.
Yep always for the green machine nothing for the red
We are currently working on concaves for Case IH combines. We are hoping to have those out by next year!
lol, just the way it works, looking for my red one now.
Always great advice !! Appreciate your vids !!! 😀🇨🇦
It should entirely decomposed by around 6 months
Mine definitely doesn't. In continuous notill, corn soy rotation, where cows haven't grazed you can still see all the corn rootballs from 2 years prior.
@@TJ-bk9vf that's not good. You need some high end vermiextract
That completely depends on your location.
@@billiebruv I think it’s more complicated than that. Depends on yield, rainfall, location, ect. Where we are it is pretty common to be combining corn in the cold in November. Not much decomposition will get started then. We’ve done some wet corn in early October and it’s amazing how much more degraded those stalks look the next spring.
@@TJ-bk9vf what is the state of your soil biology? that is where I'm at with my comment. Slow decompostition = poor soil function

Are those quarter round inserts a Deere product or yours. They look easy to work with.
Those are our new inserts that will be a part of our concave upgrade kits that will be available this fall! If you are interested in pricing on a kit shoot us an email at calmercornheadsmedia.com. Thanks!
Will the inserts be available to work with Deere concave or will we need your concave also
@@deerefarmer7235 They will only work with our concaves. They are designed specifically to fit the opening that our concave is.
Marion Calmer should manufacture a strip till machine at 15" OC
Where did you purchase that soil probe? Seems like that would make it very easy rather than the push out ones.
Shoot us an email at [email protected] and we will get you the info!
The biggest loss at the header is caused by running the reel too low and too fast
Do you account for soil moisture when you pull samples? I assume you pull samples when it's dry on top and not wet. I think they say K levels come back low when dry
Yes we waited till it was dryer to pull the samples.
@CalmerCornHeads so if it was dry on top and moist down below would that skew results
@@agger838 Marion actually air dries each bag of the soil at home before sending it in. This is to help with that potential issue.
@@CalmerCornHeads gotcha!
Are you trying cover crops?
We have used cover crops in the past but for this research we are not. Stay tuned for more details on the study and results from our initial soil tests.
Love your information it’s scientific yet practical 👍 keep it coming!!
Thank you!
Enjoy hearing your research and knowledge you’ve learned. Always appreciate the tips to help the rest of us on our operations !!! 😀🇨🇦
Marion loves helping other farmers out!
Always a pleasure to listen this man! He knows a lot and I something each time I hear him.
We appreciate the comment!
What if i sprayed the fertilizer and turn it under with a plow you are no till you want like that idea
Thanks for Great information. May i know the distance or dimensions of this concave
Thanks for the knowledge
Dry drop? Academics make new names for old concepts. We do side dress though…
How do you prevent overloading the front of the chaffer if this is allowing more through again?
That looks like my combine
From my experience Every thing he said is correct. Choosing the right hybrid is key. 37,500 is the sweet spot for me. I look at it slightly different though. If I bump the population up 20 % I also bump the P&K up 20%. I look at it like I am farming 20% more acres with out the cost of rent 20% more acres. If the corn doesn't need the extra P&K it will be there for the soybeans next year anyway.I spray a real good pre-emerge, one and done and my corn fields are really clean. If I do need to spray like I spray in soybeans , at a 90 degree angle. I actually see the bigger yield bump in a little tough ground. The extra residue in the fall may be the biggest challenge so far.
you work very hard and you harvest the labor of your works,keep up the good work and perseverance! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Marion, for wheat, we have a small operation and about 60 acres. what about using the inserts in the first two concaves meaning the ones you refer to as venention blinds. with our low acreage of wheat i dont feel buying wire concaves is realistic so what would you recommend for use with the bar concaves. can those filler plates that you found in kansas be used on the back of the round bar concaves. maybe use one of those and then several inserts??? just wondering your thoughts. thx
We need to do a video interview. I was that really handsome big guy that you met that Iowa strepto conference last year I think we could have a really good time just talking about this and you getting an opportunity to answer all these questions
Would I be able too use the max flow in soybeans also or would that be for corn only ?
They will have inserts for soybeans. We are hoping to get some more information out about the launch of our concaves really soon!
Having a horrible time with corn behind the 2577. Very wet for January, 25%. Going to try to pull every other wire, but its not going to help with seives plugging. Been just dealing with the MOG rather than a volunteer problem next yr
I am curious what had already been done to that ground that was being Strip Tilled at 3:52-4:17 ? It appears to have already been Inlined Ripped or had Anhydrous Ammonia applied to it. I am just surprised to see Strip Tilling at a Angle if you are going to be Planting Corn into that the Following Year.
The drone image at 4:15 showing the wide grass swath being skipped over, is that a drainage erosion-risk strip? Or an equipment road? If used for traffic I'd push it to the perimeter where trees and deer eat up the yield. If erosion control, is it seeded with anything other than grass like beneficial insect/pollinator habitat?
It's a waterway, low spot in the field where water will run when it rains, and seeded with grass so it doesn't erode
Howd these work this year?
We are seeing great results from our concaves for JD. We will hopefully be having more information on availability in the next couple of months. Thanks!
@@CalmerCornHeads we really struggled with rotor loss being our limiting factor this year in good corn. 18-22%
Been good in Illinois
I think you best results will come from you strip tilled acres. I switched to strip till several years ago and I cannot understate the importance of having nutrients right below the seed. It’s impossible for roots to avoid the P,K, and N that I apply. Every year I wonder why I didn’t start doing it sooner.
Your ph is very low. I would not expect any nutrient application to have a good roi until the ph is corrected.
Agreed on the PH. We did add lime this Fall!
If you do a longer then two yr study the yield will even out. We did a 4 yr comparison and yrs 3 and 4 evened out as long as it is in the same spot every yr
Good point on the soil tests. We plan to take soil tests in the Fall of 24 to compare to the original tests in Fall 2021.
Yields will even out, too, after the microbes run out of residue stay around
@@user-gw8qr5kl6bAre you saying that the a 4 Year No-Till Study with 1 Year of Tillage of that 4 Yrs with Tillage to Mix in Nutrients, compared to a 4 Year Conventional Tillage Study that the Yields Averaged Out to be the Same?
Seems to me that problems typically arise from using the same techniques continuously. People want to plow, rip, or no-till everything every year. Crop rotation has proven benefits, & there's probably a beneficial rotation of tillage as well.
@davidkottman3440 we have actually found the opposite. The diversity of crops is good, but tillage is different. If you have one program stay with it. The chisel plow after no till will look good for about three yrs then the yields will lower and be about the same as no till. By the time you put in cost of tillage not sure which one is better long term,
I like the change you are making. Instant gratification concerning stratification. No pan left to interfere with roots or nutrients or moisture
I’d say your problem would be solved via cover crops and microbial action. We put so much thought in to the chemistry, and not enough in to the biology. A living root trades carbohydrates for nutrients with the microbes. All those little bastards do is go back and forth, back and forth like robots.
We are starting to use cover crops!
Have you taken a soil test inch by inch on the ground you tilled for several years now and compared with the original samples?
Yeah he does have another video where he shows that. After the plow that soil test shows the nutrients are redistributed and there are higher concentrations deeper in the soil.
@@TJ-bk9vfCan you tell me which video that is?

Lotta tractor for that chisel
Been great here in missouri
Cab corn!
Happens to the best of us!
