@trapdoor1873 No-till this spring the frost was gone sooner the soil was able to drive on a lot sooner temperatures were very similar between tillage. Come back in July and check them temperatures again and then check water infiltration rates.

Tilled soil vs. #notill. 5° cooler in the notill and still damp under the mulch. 81° air temp at 3:30 PM. Moisture conservation at work in the #drought.

@PetersenFarms @CentraSota Maybe its per day but for only one day? I better buy a lot of N from my local retailer to feed that need....up next a chart showing PH/ nutrient availability and what you need to know.....

@CentraSota 25 lbs of N per day at V6?!?!? I’m gonna need to see that math...

@JoeatDawn I would break out the moldboard plow to reduce carbon credits?!

If the government hypothetically made you have to figure out how to make your farm carbon neutral for the 2023 season- what would you do?

@SoMN_Stripper Today its called Niche farming, couple generations ago it was called farming and feeding your community. The diversity us up to you. What are your passions of your land. Mine is retail beef, and a store for people to get supplies to grow their own beef/produce

The theme a few years ago was to diversify the row crop farm. What are some good side income methods today? Or do I just become chynas corn and soy bitch?

@itsmetoo92774 @SoMN_Stripper I dont know you but i just became a big fan!

@SoMN_Stripper The diversity in most operations is 1. plant corn/beans 2. plant corn/beans and beg for gov welfare when corn/beans aren't working

@jasonmauck1 Why dont we mandate beef like ethonal? Why dont we subsidize oats,rice, wheat.. like corn and beans to feed the world? Why is my neighbors my competition? Seems the grocery store selling food like substances or poor quality meat/produce is my competition.

I am becoming to believe that the biggest opportunities in the future aren't big. We have big. It's the growers that create their own why. why not why not me. Many collaborations and technologies can bring efficiency to these people choosing to go rogue. I'm in 100%

@PetersenFarms But they used the word "community" ! Funny how these companies with big marketing (yeild 360, precision planting, fbn...) turn out to be a time share house. Looks amazing from the street but get into it and its just veneer clad stuff.

So the company that wanted to ‘disrupt’ the Ag Retail world by offering easy online shopping for Ag inputs, now is actively looking for the same sales people they were hoping to replace with tech, and most likely use margin increase to pay for it. Interesting how that works...

@ManureProf @mncorn @kruser02 Beautiful!

Got photos from an on-farm trial. #Manure was strip tilled last fall into #covercrops. Cover crops in part of the plot were killed at corn planting this spring or the corn was planted green. It'll be terminated in the next few days. Should be interesting! @mncorn @kruser02

@PetersenFarms @MinksEric @braunfarm ZING! So many different ways to leave a great comment! That softball is hanging on a string just waiting to be knocked out of the park

@MinksEric @Jonstevens4640 @braunfarm That’s the funny thing in Ag...as long as the rent is getting paid, the only negative impact is the potential for lost revenue for the operator. Nobody ever goes to landlord to point out the excessive soil and nutrients washing off their lands as ‘bad farming’ cuz that’s mean..

A corn combine and a sprayer should not be running on the same day

@braunfarm @MinksEric @PetersenFarms Come springtime it doesn't take much of a wind to lay a field over.

@Jonstevens4640 @MinksEric @PetersenFarms After watching a March snowstorm come in and knock down the large amount of standing corn last year, I’ll take my lumps harvesting in the fall

@braunfarm Culturally speaking most of us are only 1 generation away from corn cribs/picking and corn standing was the norm.

@MinksEric @PetersenFarms @braunfarm How many other parts of farmland in Mn has had frost in pretty much every month? 10 degree difference in temps from west rock to east rock othe day. Free storage, drying and probably now selling at $7 great to not be real farmers over here

@PetersenFarms @braunfarm I just drove past there. Better late than never.

@braunfarm Frustrating part is I washed my refill tank and then ran quite a bit of water through the sprayer double-checking nozzles and just making sure everything is nice and clean.

@Jonstevens4640 I hate that, I try to get someone to look at my center section nozzles that I can’t see but it’s not all the time

Pro tip: when you make the inevitable mistake planting or spraying by a major road, put stakes and flags all around it. Then everyone will think it’s “research”

@braunfarm I don't know how many acres I sprayed and then Dad come up behind and said hey you got some nozzles that aren't spraying. Lot of green stripes when we go into second pass soybeans

@Jonstevens4640 Mine have yet to show their face. I had to go redo a pass right along 95 where I got about 50 feet before I realized my row clutches were off

@braunfarm Impressive Beast!

I’m sure glad I bought this tractor

@FLOLOfarms Looks amazing! I think i want to try 30inche rye this fall to plant into next spring.

Relayed soybeans have joined the party Love it when you can see midens and relocated residue from a distance From this spot you can see 3 different varieties of Rye... with 3 different varieties of soybeans with the closest being the field we flew on a PGR Flag leaf out

@TheDonlonReport @NewsNationNow @JoeDonlonTV @ASlavitt @LtStevenRogers @EvolveWithJill @StrollaLaw @carldemaio @DanLennington @ArchCordileone Thanks to Don for letting us speak about this tough topic. The real story i would like to share is the transformation from commercial ag to regenerative ag and how we are growing beef for consumers and feed for other farmers to feed the community. youtube.com/channel/UC4LYp…

@PetersenFarms You would think as a retailer $8 an acre for the farmer to come get a pull type sprayer with a common corn premix that can go from customer to customer would have a great potential Revenue stream versus $8 an acre on a machine that three times the cost plus an operator

@Jonstevens4640 Pretty hard to find a pre emerge restricted use chem for soya...corn would be Atrazine and premix chems, and a couple from Bayer with a special group 27 in it. I get a chuckle out of the ‘liability’ convo when a retailer has no problem with anhydrous tanks/applicators...

Why do input suppliers have pull type spreaders for customers to use to apply their purchase, but nothing for pre-emerge chem?

@SoilLorax @lstruckm Dont forget ST is a great weaning tool, but also a fantastic fertilizer management tool.

@lstruckm We are working down from moldboard plow and disk ripping. I'm extremely excited about ST.

I think this is a good seedbed for #sugarbeets. What do you think? Hoping the corn stalks protect the seedlings. I'll post more photos as the season progresses. #SoilHealth #StripTill
