🌱25 Years of Success With No-Till & Cover Crops! 🍀 🌽
Рет қаралды 75,445
Come along as Myron Sylling shares his journey into Soil Health including 25 plus years of No-Till along with cover cropping six years on all of their 1,400 acres.
Myron has been successfully & profitably no-till farming with his brother, Mikal, and father, Karl near Spring Grove, MN. While solid yields are important, net profit per acre and soil health benefits are what drives the Sylling family. The family are also huge believers in trying to have a live root 24/7 - 365.
This spring they frost seeded nearly 600 acres using their fertilizer buggy in early March. Over the past few springs, they've frost seeded a couple hundred acres annually. They've also experimented with 60" corn, enjoy planting all of their crops into vibrant green cover crops, and this year are looking into other ways to get cover crops established earlier. 🌽
Additionally water infiltration rates range from 6-10" per hour under their management compared to others that can only infiltrate 0.5 to 1.0 inches per hour. This is primarily because Myron, Mikal and Karl follow most of the soil health principles and refuse to use tillage.
So join us for this quick video on how and why the Syllings love to No-till and cover crop!

That’s great, building soil is so important, hopefully more farmers will do this without simply round-up and GMO’s...

Very good Lance. I'm agronomist in Brazil, and agree with you the importance of cover crop to preserve soil and increase the harvest.

Awesome that they are using this method, but hope we can all push more people to grow their food locally without unsustainable expensive equipment like those big John Deer tractors.

It's an amazing practice that nature has been doing since the day after dot. I really wish the farmers around where I live would at least look into it. Seeing bare fields of dirt makes my soul sad... I appreciate the video, cheers mate!!

Well clearly the massive herbicide company's will dislike this. Also the theives which make the fertilizer will dislike this method. I farm 400 ac and have switched, wow the dirt turns into soil fast. However we have a long way to go.

Are they grazing cover crops or cover crop residues? And how much diversity are they at so far? 3-5 way blends or have they gotten over 8 way blends?
@lanceklessigregenerativeag7901 4 жыл бұрын
Great question! There aren't any cows on this farm.....yet! Mostly 1-3 way mixes that are mostly comprised of winter cereals though Myron has tried applying cover crops mixes w radishes earlier in fall via airplane. With time I and trying newer techniques (inner seeding and possibly drone seeding) there will be huge opportunities to increasing seed mix diversity and vary the timing. thanks for the questions.

Interested in these practises. Just curious how u get the crop u want to harvest to grow with the competition of cover crop without glyphosate application?. Thanks

I’d like to pitch this to the farmers farming our land in north eastern MO, what are the simplest cover crops to start with that won’t cause a lot of issues when it’s time to terminate them in the spring?
@lanceklessigregenerativeag7901 2 жыл бұрын
Cereal rye, winter wheat and triticale are solid options but depends on objectives.

So is a cover crop a live plant or the leaves or sown crop laid out on top of a field?
@vivalaleta Жыл бұрын
It's live. Then you just knock it down and plant through it. That's how to build up your soil.

Im invited to a talk show in my country about regenerative practices and im a bit over my depth , any resources about what cover crops to plant before what main crops, times to plant, clear data like how many seeds per acre would be greatfull, it gets national coverage if i accept it so you can do good in a part of europe if you could help me in any way
