I'm really liking these videos! I find it very interesting to see a larger operation in action. I am taking over on my family farm in Quebec (certified organic since 1974) and due to its size and our choice of crops I manage my in-row weeds by hand... I could watch these cultivating videos all day!!

Yeah, I've raised only non gmo corn the past couple years, I disked once last fall , and twice over this spring. I didn't think that field where things went wrong looked too bad, it looked like the cultivator was really cleaning it up pretty good. I noticed I was pruning a lot of roots today cultivating, I hope that doesn't hurt the beans much. I'm going to have to how the volunteer corn out by hand. I talked to guy at JD store, that was his cousin Steve Elliot, guess he just died I'm his sleep one night, small world.

@GeigerFarm 7 жыл бұрын

It is a small world...with many unknown connections! I was at a meeting with Steve two days before he passed. As a general rule I do not work ground in the fall as it is too destructive to the soil tilth. I also limit the number of disc passes. Our ability to control weeds has increased as we have limited disc tillage passes. This is why I wanted to show the field cultivator video. In our area, the organic farmers have switched to the modern field cultivator as our primary tillage tool. These field cultivators handle residue much better than the old ones. The places I still use the disc are after plowing, when the corn residue is too great to "flow", and in fall prepping clover/soybean ground for wheat. There are always roots on the cultivator. From my perspective, this does not limit yield as my soil acts differently. Organic matter is the key tracking feature of soil health. The higher organic matter of my soil holds water better, captures more water, and releases water at a stable rate (does not crack in July/August). Pruning the roots just forces the plants to go deeper and encourages growth. Think of mowing your yard as an attempt to kill the grass!

So now I read an article that by plowing crop residue into the soil , the carbon from the residue is more likely to be stored in the soil than burnt off into the atmosphere? I hear scientist speak of a carbon crisis they fear we will experience in the 21st century and if we don't change our practices it could be too late! I'm not much of an environmentalist but there's no doubt us humans have taken a toll on our planet. Gabe Brown and others say no till is the only way to stop climate change, I'm glad to hear that maybe if we till responsibly , use a diverse crop rotation along with cover crops we could still be sustainable. I agree with your video on plowing as to always be plowing something down if we have to plow, and not to leave soil exposed longer than we have to. I love to plow and cultivate but these scientist that preach notill are starting to make me question, ...is a little herbicide better than the carbon I'm putting off from tillage? I don't know. I think with enough buffers and waterways I can control erosion fairly well even with tillage. Then there's the demonstration they make on tilled ground and how poorly it infiltrates water, that still leaves me scratching my head sometimes.

@GeigerFarm 7 жыл бұрын

Lots of conflicting information out there. Seems like every side can find facts to back up their view. Soils vary widely and will tolerate inputs/activities differently. The fact that doesn't lie is organic matter. Organic matter and water infiltration are the two most important measures of soil "health" in my opinion. Tillage done during the growing season and incorporating a green manure is less destructive to soil aggregation. Taking your organic matter in a soil from 2% to 5% will store an additional 34,800 lbs. on carbon in your soil on an acre basis. How we have farmed over the last century has definitely had an effect upon the carbon in the atmosphere. Little known fact though is that the ocean is the greatest carbon sink... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sink . The arguments against herbicides are cost, harmful impacts to humans, unknown effects upon other life forms, the fact that they encourage "windshield"/corporate/exploitative farming systems, and have resulted in an "arms race" with weeds (dicamba).

Thanks! They don't always look this great ;). IMHO, for a smaller farmer, organic is the only sane financial production method due to reduced costs and greater potential income. It really helps to incorporate livestock (as a major revenue stream) in order to utilize the full potential...Good luck!

Is it possible to maintain phosphorus and potassium levels long term organic? I read an article about an organic test plot and after about 8 years the potassium levels were severely depleted. I want to leave the farm in better shape then when I started farming it. I am going to start building fences again and try to build up my cow herd I think livestock would almost be a necessity for long term sustainability, It will be interesting to see how my wheat and corn do next year without having alfalfa or red clover previously in the rotation. Why is the field cultivator superior to the disc with weed control? I assume that field cultivator leaves more seed on top instead of burying them? Also, how are these newer row crop cultivators with one big sweep per row? I heard they can handle more residue, I wish I could leave a lot of residue and still control weeds.

@GeigerFarm 7 жыл бұрын

Good questions.... Phosphorus is the one element of concern for me. Our soils are naturally abundant in potassium. Thus I use livestock to keep the P cycle as tight as possible. Every time I read an article in the Ag press, I have to filter the info as a fair amount has a strong bias against organic production. Here is a discussion of livestock and diversity: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib6dgcd7sdfTkWQ.html Modern corn is a nitrogen consumer. If you want yield, you must provide N, either manure, green manure, legumes, etc. Be sure to innoculate your soybeans so that they actually fix nitrogen. In my experience the disc tends to destroy soil structure. It leaves the surface fine with compaction below (ideal seedbed for weeds). Modern field cultivators flow residue much better and bring clods to the surface, while leaving residue on the surface. You can't "bury" weed seeds. There will always be more! Instead, better to focus attention on allowing your crop to compete at its full potential (fertility, tilth, variety selection, and cultural practices).

Do you chisel your corn stalks or moldboard? I just finished second pass on my earliest planted beans, boy this is time consuming, idk how a guy could manage to keep up several hundred acres without much help.i have a lot of morning glories, a few ragweed , and some volunteer corn, rained about an inch just as I pulled out of field. I think I have quackgrass in another field, I'm trying to stay positive, a guy sure deserves to make more $ doing it organic with all the time and effort required to raise a crop.

@GeigerFarm 7 жыл бұрын

We do not chisel or plow stalks. We run cattle on our corn fields during the winter. Then in spring I disc one time, or just use the new field cultivator as field prep. Non-GMO corn stalks degrade much faster. Beans following corn are typically the easiest to gain weed control, but so many of the factors are weather related with experience being the only teacher. I will say that I have become a much better organic farmer after 25 yrs:). The return possibilities are much greater if you can figure out the weed control and cultural methods. The biggest obstacle is the paradigm you have in your head...BTW the video of the field "where things go wrong" was cultivated for the second time yesterday. It doesn't look a whole lot nicer. I will leave it (until after frost!), but it will be very ugly and the yield will take a significant hit

@GeigerFarm 3 жыл бұрын

Soybeans have quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to seeding rate. When planting in 30 inch rows, as I am doing here, there is typically 1 to 1.5 inches between the plants. This will result in a final population range of 140,000 to 185,000 plants/a. As organic farmers, we plant on the thicker side to aid in weed suppression! Based upon this, I would advise you to plant more plants per square!
