Thank you! It’s been a hectic year. Hope to be making more videos soon! Thanks for watching!

@@INOrganicFarmer anytime buddy

Thanks for the comment! I appreciate your feedback! Organic is definitely a learning curve but I enjoy it!

Thank you! This corn was Great Harvest Organics 55G3GH. It was planted at 34,000 population. I think I ended up with 32,000 final stand.

Thank you for the kind words. I ask a lot of questions just like you! I have learned so much from talking with my farming neighbors. I also grew up on a farm. Learning from experience is the best way to learn! I never went to college but I did attend several organic conferences and field days when I started transitioning to organic.

You surely have your stuff nailed down. Thank you so much for been responsive as well. I see that you take your time to respond to all comments and that help everyone. Keep io the good work. You’re surely are my go to for my farming debut👍🏾

Definitely not! I have tried to learn everything I can from the “experienced” organic growers. Sometimes what works for them doesn’t always work for me! That’s really interesting about the weed zapper! I am becoming a lot more interested in organic no-till. Thank you for watching!!

The smaller one will hold 3,200 bushels. The one I have corn in is a 6,500 bushel bin.

@@INOrganicFarmer For some reason I was under the impression that those bins would hold more corn than the grain bags. I read the specs of the Up North grain bag 12' x 300' could hold 23,000 bu of high moisture shell corn. My guess is that: 1. You don't need such a high capacity storage because you have a high turnover of corn in your bin (i.e., you sell off your harvest quickly). 2. You can better control the moisture level in the bins which is impossible in Ag Bags. My question then: what is the best use for the Ag Bag grain bags?

These bins are 60+ years old. Back when these were built farmers didn’t need much storage. We’re still using them because I don’t have enough organic acres to justify building bigger ones. So far I’ve been able to store all my organic crops in these two bins. I usually haul everything out over the winter or early spring. I don’t need the capacity of larger bins just yet. You’re right about the moisture. Once you put the corn in the bag it better be dry or you better get it out quickly before it spoils. (January or February) If the bag gets a hole in it, the hole will let moisture in and spoil the corn. The other thing about a grain bag is, if you have it laying in the field, the ground will have to be dry or frozen to get semi trucks to it to haul it out. Several years ago there were lot of grain bags used in this area. That only lasted a couple years and guys decided to build bins instead. Because of the reasons a mentioned above. To answer your question: In my opinion grain bags are for very short temporary storage. If the corn is coming out of the field at 16% - 17% it will store just fine until March possibly April. Any higher than that, I’d want it gone in January.

@@INOrganicFarmer 60 years! Holy cow, that's a good investment :-)
