So remember when we seeded into hard, dry grass that nearly killed my drill? Haha well, here's what it looks like so far.

I love how you break down the logic of how your operation is routinely profitable. Those nuggets are fascinating. Many thanks Mike!

Just learned more about farming the prairie land and have a more thorough understanding of the economic of it than 2 years in horticulture class. Thank you for that because even though I absolutely love every single video I’ve never truly understood how it possible to make money on such low yields but now I get the concept and it’s actually more straight forward than I would have thought

Also run ACF-SR biological bacteria product at 2-3 gals.. it will really kick the durum into high gear.. it breaks down the fertilizer and nutrients fast so the durum can up take it. Also creates a huge root mass..

When cattle were there I’m sure it was set stock grazing so in other word severely overgrazed. I recommend you look up Alejandro Carillo, he runs a ranch in the desert in Mexico with 6” of annual rainfall some years and is buried in grass and other forage species due to his management style. These praries should have never been broken to the extent they are and ruminants should be part of the rotation. Big grain farming is a lesson on how to create deserts. Just adding to the conversation not trying to be negative.

Don’t apologize for speaking the truth. The problem is that people like Mike will never adapt unless forced to do so. Growing a crop every four years isn’t sustainable or environmentally friendly

That not great area to run cattle on, in dry years either. Be lucky to feed 15 pair per quarter. And their water source would be another battle
@clearskiesranch1362
@clearskiesranch1362 11 күн бұрын
That’s because 15 pair per quarter isn’t nearly enough density. You need to be pushing 800,000 to 1 million pounds of live animal per acre to really start improving production and soil health

The only crops damaging the environment are almonds, avacado, and corn for ethanol. Take ethanol out of gas and you would free up a ton of land for food agriculture, almonds and avacados require a TON of water to produce.
