[00:00:21.860]Our next speaker is JC, or Jim Starr,
[00:00:26.070]he farms with his brother Joel, around Hasting, Nebraska,
[00:00:30.630]and they farm about 2,000 acres.
[00:00:33.240]And they have a diversified organic grain farm.
[00:00:37.574]380 acres of the farm are still conventional production.
[00:00:41.220]But they got interested in organics back in the '80s,
[00:00:45.523]when conventional prices were low.
[00:00:47.790]And they wanted to specialize the crops
[00:00:50.720]to get more value from them.
[00:00:52.190]So, they converted their conventional seed corn
[00:00:56.700]production to organic seed corn.
[00:00:59.610]And they raise white, blue, purple and yellow corn.
[00:01:03.260]And then also some other crops are sunflowers,
[00:01:06.140]rye, peas, kernza, wheat, triticale and soybeans.
[00:01:12.069]We're welcoming Jim, I've been out to their farm
[00:01:15.670]on a tour a couple times.
[00:01:19.820]He's gonna talk about using cover crops,
[00:01:21.530]so the name of his
[00:01:25.510]presentation is The Importance of Cover Crops
[00:01:27.370]in an Organic Rotation.
[00:01:30.430]Looking forward to your talk, Jim.
[00:01:34.070]Sounds good.
[00:01:35.718]Okay, we're gonna get started. (whistles)
[00:01:40.344]Go ahead, Jim.
[00:01:41.290]I'm Jim Starr, I'm from Hastings.
[00:01:44.620]And I've got my brother Joel over here.
[00:01:47.520]And we've been farming together since we were
[00:01:50.610]little kids, I guess.
[00:01:54.204]Dad and my grandpa started seed corn back in the 1958.
[00:01:58.950]And so we've grown up in the seed corn business.
[00:02:02.948]In the '80s when corn got down to $1.62,
[00:02:07.100]we decided we wanted to do something that had more value,
[00:02:11.000]something we could control the price of our crop better.
[00:02:16.200]We started experimenting with organic crops.
[00:02:19.700]And we started out small, we did a lot of mistakes.
[00:02:23.040]But what I want to show you today is,
[00:02:26.820]how you can use your cover crop to produce nitrogen,
[00:02:31.290]and also get weed control.
[00:02:33.897]And I think this is exciting because,
[00:02:36.830]we used to think as organic as weeds and low yielding
[00:02:40.720]and it's not, it can be very profitable and high yielding.
[00:02:47.640]This is organic seed corn.
[00:02:49.460]This is back on '07.
[00:02:52.580]And I've got the two male rows and the six female.
[00:02:57.620]But the fertility of the corn looked fantastic.
[00:03:01.940]And this is all organic production.
[00:03:06.610]We're in the field de-tassling corn.
[00:03:11.480]I'm running kids through the field.
[00:03:15.910]There's the processing plant,
[00:03:18.060]we're taking the husk off,
[00:03:19.530]and Joel's standing up on top of the husking bed there.
[00:03:27.470]We have women that sort the corn.
[00:03:30.290]We had all this equipment because we were raised
[00:03:32.750]in conventional corn, so it just made sense
[00:03:35.690]to go into organic seed corn.
[00:03:38.330]And the idea was organic seed corn doesn't yield as much,
[00:03:42.510]so we can get nitrogen easy to produce
[00:03:45.740]the yields that we needed.
[00:03:48.990]This was after harvest, and you can see the weed pressure
[00:03:52.050]really wasn't that bad.
[00:03:54.160]The male rows where we destroyed them,
[00:03:58.440]they'll have more weeds in there.
[00:04:00.410]But the problem of organic seed production
[00:04:03.170]is you don't have a canopy.
[00:04:05.240]So you always have sunlight shining.
[00:04:08.060]So you could develop a little bit of weeds this year,
[00:04:10.490]you come out next year and you got a whole lot of weeds.
[00:04:13.760]So it's not a, for us we wanted to get into
[00:04:17.680]field corn production where we could get a canopy.
[00:04:22.870]Now the rub was we were getting by spreading manure
[00:04:28.150]on bean ground, as had enough nitrogen to grow seed corn.
[00:04:32.517]And a typical seed corn yield might be 100 bushel an acre.
[00:04:36.570]So that was easy to attain.
[00:04:39.200]But even the next problem was is we start getting
[00:04:44.500]our phosphorus levels too high.
[00:04:46.620]Maybe you start getting your salts too high.
[00:04:49.060]It wasn't sustainable in the long term
[00:04:51.800]to expect manure to produce all of our nitrogen.
[00:04:58.210]So we came up with this idea,
[00:04:59.930]we were gonna have to grow it.
[00:05:02.400]And that's about a three foot tall cover crop.
[00:05:07.430]And there's a lot going on in this picture.
[00:05:10.410]The vetch in there is your nitrogen producer.
[00:05:14.160]And then we've also got the rye.
[00:05:16.710]Well the rye kind of holds the nitrogen up.
[00:05:19.970]We sampled the above ground material,
[00:05:23.610]and we had 190 pounds of nitrogen.
[00:05:28.240]Now I'm not sure how much of that's readily available
[00:05:31.220]to that year or the next year after.
[00:05:33.870]But there is a lot of nitrogen production.
[00:05:36.725]And we're not even taking into account
[00:05:38.930]the amount of nitrogen that is below ground
[00:05:42.594]in the nodules.
[00:05:46.836]Also, you've got that much growth on top of your ground,
[00:05:50.130]you can imagine the growth that you've got
[00:05:52.080]below the ground.
[00:05:53.880]We don't have to chisel or deep rib,
[00:05:56.230]because our cover crop is doing the tillage.
[00:06:00.890]And, you could say, "Well, why do I need that rye?
[00:06:03.947]"Why can't I just put all vetch."
[00:06:07.440]Well if you put all vetch, your soil will
[00:06:09.360]be really mellow and prone to erosion.
[00:06:12.840]When you work that vetch in the soil
[00:06:15.620]it's gone in about five days.
[00:06:18.730]Now let's say if you wanted to plant all rye,
[00:06:21.920]you would end up with ground that's clotty
[00:06:26.970]or difficult to work, 'cause it's more like sod.
[00:06:30.740]What we found out was is if we combine the two,
[00:06:33.980]it made the perfect soil structure.
[00:06:36.860]The soil works up beautiful when you have
[00:06:39.350]a grass and a legume mixed together.
[00:06:41.390]So we always mix the grass and legume.
[00:06:45.110]And also the rye is taking nitrogen up.
[00:06:49.270]It's nice and dark and green.
[00:06:51.570]Well I think that makes the vetch produce more nitrogen.
[00:06:55.920]So it's a safe for your nitrogen crop.
[00:07:01.830]We're moving into our first year of organic white corn.
[00:07:05.400]We did put manure even on top of this nitrogen.
[00:07:09.690]So we're basically going in fully loaded.
[00:07:13.460]Well the next year, that year,
[00:07:16.800]we harvested the first strip through the field,
[00:07:19.010]and it was 260 bushel an acre.
[00:07:24.650]We recalculated it several times,
[00:07:26.770]because I didn't believe those numbers.
[00:07:28.320]I didn't believe that was possible in organic production.
[00:07:32.814]And I will say that that year the weather was perfect,
[00:07:35.920]it was corn growing weather.
[00:07:38.440]You know if the weather doesn't work with you,
[00:07:41.170]it can go south pretty quick.
[00:07:44.210]I had a field that year of white corn that averaged 250.
[00:07:48.860]And I would say that's the top end
[00:07:51.080]of what we're producing.
[00:07:53.070]But those yields are attainable in organic production.
[00:08:02.012]I think something else there.
[00:08:05.950]Anyway, I'll go to the next slide.
[00:08:07.900]So we're trying to, how do you manage your cover crop?
[00:08:12.720]Well I found out the best way was to take the shredder out,
[00:08:15.940]because your cover crop can get fairly high.
[00:08:19.710]And you've got to get it down to size
[00:08:21.620]to where you can work it.
[00:08:26.500]On the left there we run through with the shredder,
[00:08:29.450]and on the right we went through
[00:08:31.200]with a Lemken high speed disc.
[00:08:33.930]And the soil just worked out beautiful.
[00:08:35.910]It's a beautiful soil structure.
[00:08:38.220]The particles are sized to where they incorporate well.
[00:08:42.100]The vetch will be gone in five days
[00:08:44.440]and you'll have the rye left there
[00:08:46.840]to hold your soil together, for water or wind erosion.
[00:08:50.890]It's very important to have that grass in there.
[00:08:55.860]Another benefit of your cover crop is
[00:08:58.750]look at the insects that were on that cover crop,
[00:09:02.180]this is on the shredder.
[00:09:04.340]I've got ladybugs, lacewings, spiders.
[00:09:09.330]I mean you're providing a habitat for those insects.
[00:09:12.800]And when you destroy your cover crop
[00:09:15.660]those insects migrate to your cash crop.
[00:09:22.650]We don't seem to have that much insect problem,
[00:09:24.900]because you have enough abundance of beneficial
[00:09:27.930]insects that are working for you.
[00:09:31.840]Now we ended up getting so much residue
[00:09:34.560]that we had to change from our field cultivator
[00:09:37.180]to a vertical tillage machine.
[00:09:41.450]And this thing can go through about any type
[00:09:43.870]of residue that we have.
[00:09:48.780]And this is,
[00:09:51.840]after you work the residue, and you're out planting,
[00:09:55.120]there's a lot of rye in there.
[00:09:56.530]And that's what you want.
[00:09:57.590]It looks like a mess, but that'll really
[00:09:59.960]hold your soil together.
[00:10:01.530]You can get a three inch rain overnight and sleep good,
[00:10:06.510]because you know you're not getting erosion.
[00:10:11.810]Now I have to explain, this is my
[00:10:16.980]weed control system right here.
[00:10:19.820]I have two rotary hoes and I offset them.
[00:10:23.430]So the hoes are actually about an inch and a half apart,
[00:10:27.890]if you look down the row.
[00:10:30.060]And the principle here is we take
[00:10:33.000]a soybean or a corn, and we put it 2 1/4 inches deep.
[00:10:38.110]And we let that get a good root on it,
[00:10:40.040]and when the shoots starting to come out,
[00:10:41.730]or the bean is starting to push we double hoe it.
[00:10:45.440]We can completely fracture the soil all the way across.
[00:10:49.700]So when you run your hand across the soil
[00:10:52.330]there is no soil that's still attached
[00:10:55.670]to the soil down below.
[00:10:57.720]If you use a single hoe, it doesn't work.
[00:11:01.570]The single hoe will not disturb the soil completely across
[00:11:07.170]where you're planting.
[00:11:09.000]And then in the double hoe situation like that,
[00:11:11.507]you kind of just feather it down into the soil,
[00:11:14.600]to where you're working up an inch and a half.
[00:11:16.560]And you have just a nice layer of soft soil.
[00:11:20.240]Your weeds won't germinate.
[00:11:22.740]Imagine if you're planting,
[00:11:27.216]you put up a new house and you're planting your yard there,
[00:11:29.635]and you're putting grass out,
[00:11:30.468]and the soil's loose for an inch and a half.
[00:11:33.210]None of your grass is gonna grow.
[00:11:35.270]That's all I'm doing with this tool, it's very simple.
[00:11:42.290]So this is the same field.
[00:11:45.470]And you can see the rye piece is still in the soil.
[00:11:50.300]That rye will stay around up 'til about cultivating time.
[00:11:55.730]And so once you've got it cultivated then
[00:11:59.820]you're beyond the point where you're gonna have
[00:12:02.150]any serious erosion.
[00:12:04.360]But the color of that field was fantastic.
[00:12:08.930]The nitrogen that you get out of your cover crop
[00:12:13.500]must be substantial, and I don't know how to measure it.
[00:12:16.950]When you're working with organic nitrogen
[00:12:19.180]you really can't go down to your lab
[00:12:22.350]and use a traditional soil test.
[00:12:25.430]You have to, I end up doing it by eyeballing
[00:12:28.510]the cover crop, in past experience.
[00:12:31.100]And I can tell you if you can raise corn out there.
[00:12:34.740]That's pretty primitive, I guess.
[00:12:37.952](audience member comments off microphone)
[00:12:39.730]Yes.
[00:12:42.010]This field was May 28th.
[00:12:45.960]We got it worked up early and it wouldn't quit raining.
[00:12:50.620]And we planted it May 28th and we thought,
[00:12:53.240]boy this is the end of the world planting corn that way.
[00:12:58.620]Now, I'm so used to planting a field or two that late,
[00:13:03.490]it doesn't bother me at all.
[00:13:05.700]And I'll explain that more.
[00:13:08.671]Question. Yes.
[00:13:11.445]How many pounds of vetch,
[00:13:14.108]and how many pounds of rye, (voice fades off microphone)?
[00:13:19.234]Okay, initially the question,
[00:13:20.988]I guess the question is, how many pounds of vetch,
[00:13:22.779]and how many pounds of rye?
[00:13:24.320]We were putting 25 pounds of vetch,
[00:13:28.460]and five pounds of rye.
[00:13:31.836]Perivetch?
[00:13:32.954]Perivetch.
[00:13:34.298]And I don't remember if we were using radish back then,
[00:13:38.121]because we started putting two pounds
[00:13:39.110]of radish in with it.
[00:13:43.780]Just whatever we could get our hands on.
[00:13:46.181](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:13:47.960]Cereale rye, yes.
[00:13:49.702](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:13:51.940]The rye?
[00:13:53.306]The rye and the vetch,
[00:13:54.419]when did you seed that?
[00:13:55.252]Okay, that would have went in,
[00:13:59.350]I think that one was October.
[00:14:02.310]We'll either do it after beans, or excuse me,
[00:14:05.300]after peas and wheat will go in the first of September.
[00:14:08.540]Or, we'll put it in after soybeans.
[00:14:11.590]That's kind of our two planting periods.
[00:14:14.127](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:14:15.610]Yes.
[00:14:17.220]We drilled that in.
[00:14:20.930]Now this is
[00:14:23.180]hilling time, and,
[00:14:27.990]once you get past here and you've got your corn
[00:14:29.910]hilled up like that, you really don't have a weed problem.
[00:14:33.850]The field was nice and clean.
[00:14:36.390]And on this particular field,
[00:14:39.730]we had leveled it back, I don't know the late '50s,
[00:14:43.230]and there was so much gumbo out there.
[00:14:45.750]You'd set your cultivator in the grounds
[00:14:47.517]and the ribbons would just roll off all the way
[00:14:49.810]through the field.
[00:14:51.260]We have completely changed the soil structure
[00:14:53.750]on this farm by putting cover crops on it.
[00:14:58.230]It'll crumble like that and work well
[00:15:01.750]when you're out hilling.
[00:15:06.230]Now this was in August.
[00:15:09.180]You know I'm kind of taking
[00:15:12.250]a picture into the sunlight,
[00:15:13.950]it makes the corn look lighter green.
[00:15:15.660]But it was nice, and dark and green.
[00:15:18.060]There was plenty of fertility there.
[00:15:20.620]We went in and took a soil sample,
[00:15:23.140]we took it down to our lab,
[00:15:25.310]and asked them how much nitrogen we need to put on
[00:15:28.100]to raise that corn crop.
[00:15:29.920]And it came back at 230 pounds.
[00:15:33.820]And that kind of gets back to where
[00:15:35.540]you're using organic nitrogen.
[00:15:37.100]It's not showing up on your test.
[00:15:39.570]So, when you start growing organically,
[00:15:41.720]you have to have a different mindset on your fertility
[00:15:45.930]that you're getting.
[00:15:47.974](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:15:52.470]You know, we very (sighs) I can't remember,
[00:15:55.260]this has been years ago, if we were down to 32 or 34.
[00:16:05.340]There's at harvest time.
[00:16:09.110]That with the late planting date,
[00:16:10.910]still made 218 bushel an acre.
[00:16:14.530]And our biggest mistake we made was by using
[00:16:18.490]a shorter season hybrid.
[00:16:20.130]We should have stuck the full season in there.
[00:16:22.551]Because we had the season to grow it and the fertility.
[00:16:26.460]So I think we could have even done better.
[00:16:31.170]But looking at the ground after combine,
[00:16:32.900]I mean we really didn't have weeds in there,
[00:16:35.550]it was a nice, clean field.
[00:16:41.920]Now I'm taking you out to another field.
[00:16:45.250]The history on this was it was wheat in the summer.
[00:16:50.160]And then the summer followed it and the first of September
[00:16:54.010]we put our cover crop in and we're putting vetch,
[00:16:57.900]and radish in there.
[00:16:59.480]And I was expecting some of the volunteer wheat
[00:17:01.820]to grow and it didn't.
[00:17:05.680]We had a warm fall and we had a significant amount
[00:17:08.170]of growth on the radish.
[00:17:11.099]And I was at a organic, or a no til conference one time,
[00:17:15.017]and a guy tested the nitrogen in those radishes,
[00:17:18.650]and he had a solid stand of them,
[00:17:20.360]and he had 400 pounds of nitrogen per acre in the radishes.
[00:17:24.750]So when I come out in the fall,
[00:17:26.307]and I see we've got that much growth,
[00:17:28.940]I'm in credit, probably a lot of nitrogen for that radish.
[00:17:32.170]'Cause it's going down deep and mining bring it back up.
[00:17:36.690]And then I've got a really good stand of vetch.
[00:17:40.210]And I've got enough cover on the top
[00:17:42.210]to help protect that vetch.
[00:17:43.680]Something to trap the snow.
[00:17:47.710]In the ideal situation that's what you'd like
[00:17:49.900]to see in your fall.
[00:17:51.310]Now the last two years hasn't been that way.
[00:17:53.770]We had a quick, cold fall, a late, cold spring,
[00:17:57.860]and it really hurt my nitrogen production.
[00:18:00.920]And you've got to get,
[00:18:03.080]you got to get used to that.
[00:18:04.270]The weather is gonna
[00:18:06.130]hand just a bad a hand in the winter growing
[00:18:08.630]your cover crop, as maybe it did in the summer.
[00:18:13.600]Now in this field one thing I noticed was
[00:18:15.980]when we were drilling the cover crop in,
[00:18:18.340]we got down to the end and we were overlapping.
[00:18:21.280]And there was these spots all the way along
[00:18:23.180]the edge of the field where there was nothing growing.
[00:18:27.520]And you can see all the dead leaves and the branches
[00:18:33.900]of the radishes there.
[00:18:37.290]I thought that looked kind of suspicious.
[00:18:40.850]And I come out in May and the cover crop around this
[00:18:43.970]was three feet high.
[00:18:45.910]But yet that bare spot was still there.
[00:18:49.350]The dock here is barely growing.
[00:18:52.260]The dock at this time of the year in the ditches
[00:18:54.670]is fully seeded out.
[00:18:57.180]How did that radish suppress those weeds like that?
[00:19:02.760]You know in my head I wasn't quite figuring out
[00:19:05.210]what was going on, but there was something going on.
[00:19:10.130]This is later that year
[00:19:13.120]in that same field.
[00:19:14.560]The only nitrogen that corn crop has there
[00:19:18.360]is from the hairy vetch.
[00:19:23.210]The corn looked fantastic.
[00:19:28.530]But in the row, the rows were nice and clean.
[00:19:32.100]How much of my weed control was coming
[00:19:34.700]from the radish, from the brassica?
[00:19:39.240]I was starting to think maybe we were on to something,
[00:19:41.690]'cause everything was going right there.
[00:19:48.373]About 10 days later we got a heavy hailstorm and windstorm.
[00:19:55.280]On one end of the field there was hardly any leaves
[00:19:57.530]left on the plant, and the other end of the field
[00:19:59.570]it wasn't near as bad.
[00:20:03.170]So we got,
[00:20:05.970]got into harvesting.
[00:20:07.130]Remember two years ago when we had the windstorm?
[00:20:10.540]It was one day before harvest,
[00:20:12.310]and that's what we had laying there underground.
[00:20:14.830]And we harvested that, and we had 190 bushel an acre.
[00:20:20.720]So, I don't know what the potential was there.
[00:20:24.070]I guess I had a field south of town
[00:20:26.490]that didn't get the hail and it yielded 212,
[00:20:30.070]and I had a 13% loss.
[00:20:33.400]So I'm thinking it could have been up in the 220s again.
[00:20:37.850]And the only nitrogen that corn had was the cover crop.
[00:20:41.980]So now the question is, is should I buy manure
[00:20:46.870]in the spring?
[00:20:48.830]I mean there's times if your cover crop is healthy enough,
[00:20:51.610]you may not need manure.
[00:20:54.200]But if you go out there and your cover crop
[00:20:56.400]looks a little bit light,
[00:20:58.300]I'd probably be looking for some manure.
[00:21:01.200]So that's something you've kind of got to get used to
[00:21:03.650]in your own mind and check in your fields,
[00:21:06.120]and by past experience, how much fertility you've got.
[00:21:13.810]And this was another field that was wheat.
[00:21:17.310]And we put a cover crop in in September.
[00:21:20.960]And we have mustard, radish, turnips,
[00:21:27.010]rabe, what else did we have in there?
[00:21:30.930]I'm missing some.
[00:21:35.760]I can't remember the other one.
[00:21:37.290]But, this was the fall when it didn't freeze until December.
[00:21:42.200]I mean the cover crop was huge.
[00:21:44.600]You know a lot of years, well like last winter,
[00:21:47.880]or two winters ago, we had,
[00:21:51.510]cover crops barely got that high.
[00:21:54.880]So again, you've got to be watching and monitoring
[00:21:57.450]your cover crop, to try to determine how much benefit
[00:22:00.990]you'll get out of it.
[00:22:02.410]This cover crop I was really concerned
[00:22:04.870]that my vetch that's down on the ground
[00:22:07.610]was gonna get shaded out, and I was getting worried
[00:22:10.920]that my brassicas here were gonna hurt the vetch,
[00:22:15.210]and kind of ruin my game plan for nitrogen production.
[00:22:21.970]The radishes got, the turnips got full size.
[00:22:26.270]The radishes got full size.
[00:22:30.200]Joel came in and said the radishes up
[00:22:32.940]on field six were out of control.
[00:22:35.329](everyone laughs)
[00:22:41.160]And this is in the spring.
[00:22:44.430]The dead, like the mustard and rabes that are still standing
[00:22:49.450]that helps protect your cover crop down below.
[00:22:52.630]It'll catch that snow
[00:22:54.810]and get the ground cover to a snow.
[00:22:57.660]So that was a benefit there.
[00:23:00.520]Now the radish, or the hairy vetch I think
[00:23:05.590]was kind of getting suppressed from all the brassicas.
[00:23:08.500]And I was kind of concerned that we were gonna
[00:23:10.160]really be short on nitrogen.
[00:23:12.830]And then there's rabe in there, and the rabe
[00:23:16.870]grows back in the spring.
[00:23:20.120]That's what it looks like in the spring.
[00:23:24.530]So we're out there shredding it and working it in,
[00:23:27.080]and for this field, I think we planted last
[00:23:30.547]and it was June 5th.
[00:23:33.650]We had so much residue there to work with
[00:23:36.390]and the ground wouldn't dry out.
[00:23:39.057]And it looked like it was gonna be kind of
[00:23:40.680]a challenge getting it planted.
[00:23:45.535]We went and worked it and planted it,
[00:23:47.387]and it got hot and dry.
[00:23:49.800]I did not rotary hoe this, because it was so dry and hot.
[00:23:54.410]It was one of them times where it went to 95 overnight.
[00:23:59.060]And, there were no weeds in that field.
[00:24:03.920]Now I'm saying that this all happened,
[00:24:07.150]because I had the brassicas in the mix.
[00:24:10.400]They are acting as a weed control.
[00:24:12.817]And if you go on YouTube, you can look up
[00:24:15.590]all the information about how brassicas effect weeds.
[00:24:21.532]I think you have a question.
[00:24:22.630]I plant rye as a cover crop,
[00:24:24.819](voice fades off microphone).
[00:24:31.172]Do you find any of this allopathy, or whatever,
[00:24:33.490]from the brassicas, or your rye hurt the corn,
[00:24:37.050]or is it deep enough to not hurt the corn (voice fades).
[00:24:43.040]I haven't.
[00:24:44.350]You know we've been working this just a couple years,
[00:24:46.390]and I haven't noticed a difference yet,
[00:24:48.210]hurting a large seeded crop.
[00:24:50.650]Maybe if you put a small seeded, or maybe a wheat,
[00:24:54.473]could that be a problem?
[00:24:55.730]Or the time that you wait after you til it
[00:24:59.210]until the cynalates are gone in your soil.
[00:25:04.530]So you're saying the
[00:25:05.363]larger seeds like corn.
[00:25:08.230]I haven't noticed damage on it yet.
[00:25:11.870]But we're generally maybe five days to a week planting
[00:25:16.170]behind the time that we destroy the cover crop.
[00:25:18.920]So if you've got gases that are in those leaves
[00:25:22.980]and they're evaporating.
[00:25:25.210]If you planted the day after I might be concerned.
[00:25:32.070]This is kind of an evolving situation here.
[00:25:35.070]We're learning how to work with the brassicas.
[00:25:38.378](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:25:44.910]I've never, we've grown a lot of rye
[00:25:46.840]and I've never seen the weed suppression in rye
[00:25:49.800]like we get with a brassica.
[00:25:53.230]I would be more inclined to look into the brassicas.
[00:25:57.930](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:26:06.564]It's gently rolling to flat.
[00:26:10.540]You can kind of see where it rolls down the hill behind it.
[00:26:15.800]So, we didn't rotary hoe this.
[00:26:19.660]This is the first day of cultivation.
[00:26:21.500]And that field is still relatively clean.
[00:26:25.890]There might be a few velvet leaf showing up.
[00:26:30.250]I think there was a couple there.
[00:26:31.950]Velvet leaf seems like they can grow
[00:26:34.950]in about any condition, they're hard to get rid of.
[00:26:39.200]But what I noticed was that field was dark green
[00:26:42.980]all the way through it.
[00:26:44.750]And there's hillsides up in here that are clay.
[00:26:47.880]And normally you can see them 1/2 mile away.
[00:26:51.522]Then you can see that crops that are
[00:26:54.040]light growing, yellow looking.
[00:27:00.000]So that's our first cultivation there.
[00:27:05.320]Now we cultivated it and it was so hot and dry
[00:27:08.620]we ran the pivot around so we could mellow it up
[00:27:12.143]to hill up, well then that made it rain.
[00:27:15.156](everyone laughs)
[00:27:16.960]That plan didn't work out.
[00:27:20.310]Because of that we didn't get it hilled.
[00:27:22.830]But you can still see how nice can clean
[00:27:24.930]that soil is.
[00:27:26.330]And there is small velvet leafs that popped up later.
[00:27:30.639]If we had been able to hill it,
[00:27:31.860]I don't think we would have had those velvet leaf.
[00:27:38.470]I think it's the cynalates that are in
[00:27:42.350]the leaves of brassicas.
[00:27:45.130]Those are in mustards.
[00:27:47.630]If you go on YouTube there's tons of videos on it.
[00:27:54.114]As far as control of nematodes, diseases,
[00:27:58.460]there's a lot of things going on with the,
[00:28:01.260]especially when you get into the mustard family.
[00:28:05.367](audience member speaking off microphone)
[00:28:08.410]Brassicas would be like your turnip, radish,
[00:28:11.560]broccoli, mustard--
[00:28:14.926](audience member speaking off microphone)
[00:28:28.020]So this year I decided, well I'm not gonna put
[00:28:30.700]a cover crop in after corn, 'cause I'm going to soybeans.
[00:28:34.550]And I'm gonna come out there in March,
[00:28:36.260]and I'm gonna put mustard down.
[00:28:38.674]And we'll use that as a herbicide.
[00:28:43.400]You notice this dark green strip here.
[00:28:46.270]I had two rows that were plugged.
[00:28:49.710]And this was solid winter annuals grass,
[00:28:54.527]and there were broad leafs that were starting to grow.
[00:28:56.957]And I had just gone over that
[00:28:58.730]with a shredder, shredding it.
[00:29:02.190]You could go right outside into this area,
[00:29:05.450]and there was no winter annuals.
[00:29:07.840]It was amazing the weed control
[00:29:10.230]that was happening with that mustard growing.
[00:29:18.630]Now in the particular field I didn't shred it.
[00:29:22.821]I just went in with that sunflower machine
[00:29:25.320]that you saw earlier, and I worked it in.
[00:29:31.020]If you work your mustard, and then wait a long time,
[00:29:35.410]the gases will evaporate out of it,
[00:29:37.857]and it won't do you any good.
[00:29:39.950]So a lot of times people shred it and they're
[00:29:42.050]right behind discing it.
[00:29:44.250]This was getting late in the year and I just wanted it done,
[00:29:46.420]so I just went out and disced it.
[00:29:48.310]And it seemed to work fine.
[00:29:51.222](audience member speaks off mic)
[00:29:53.280]Yeah there was volunteer.
[00:29:55.980]It's not an ideal situation for killing mustard,
[00:30:01.580]but the volunteer wasn't gonna cause a problem,
[00:30:04.060]so I wasn't really worried about it.
[00:30:10.110]Now, this is our soybeans planted after the mustard,
[00:30:14.490]and you can see the soil's loose.
[00:30:16.300]And that's from rotary hoeing.
[00:30:18.500]So that field has been rotary hoed
[00:30:21.930]right when the soybean got a good root on it.
[00:30:25.980]And then when the soybean came up through the ground
[00:30:28.280]and got leaves on it, you can rotary hoe it again.
[00:30:31.200]And at that point you don't cause that much damage
[00:30:33.430]to the soybean.
[00:30:34.590]And we plant extra heavy anyway to make up for it.
[00:30:38.170]Then you can see there's volunteer,
[00:30:41.600]well mustards that I didn't get killed.
[00:30:44.280]And those don't hurt anything because they're in
[00:30:46.010]the process of going to seed and dying.
[00:30:51.300]Well we're out cultivating and the ground
[00:30:53.790]just looks suspiciously clean.
[00:30:58.150]There's not the weeds that you normally see
[00:31:00.890]when you're out cultivating.
[00:31:09.680]That's in August.
[00:31:12.360]And we did, Joel and his son walked around there
[00:31:16.953]a little bit, trying to get some of the bigger weeds
[00:31:19.390]off the field, just some of the escapes.
[00:31:22.960]I don't know, did you run a crew through there?
[00:31:27.433]It was fairly easy to road,
[00:31:29.120]there wasn't that many roads out there.
[00:31:32.020]Your best compliment you can get from your certifier
[00:31:36.050]is when he comes out and says your,
[00:31:38.850]I'd guess you'd say your best and your worst compliment
[00:31:41.540]you can get from your certifier.
[00:31:43.630]Is he comes out and looks at your field
[00:31:45.360]and says that it's suspiciously clean.
[00:31:48.061](everyone laughs)
[00:31:51.250]Then you know you're either, you're happy,
[00:31:52.910]but you're also in trouble.
[00:31:55.320]But, soybeans can be raised like that, that are that clean.
[00:31:59.220]And this is right on Highway 6.
[00:32:01.810]You know if I let weeds get in there,
[00:32:03.600]everybody's gonna tell me about it.
[00:32:05.780]But if the field is clean, I might get two comments.
[00:32:14.289]Now this is the game plan this last fall.
[00:32:17.470]I decided to put four different types of mustard in there.
[00:32:22.030]I got mighty mustard, and I added a brown mustard.
[00:32:26.950]There's vetch down in there growing.
[00:32:29.980]I've added another source of nitrogen
[00:32:32.610]which was valance of clover.
[00:32:35.250]I'm trying to play around with some clovers
[00:32:37.260]to have a back up nitrogen source in case,
[00:32:43.407]the vetch would winter kill or something.
[00:32:45.910]And then we added radish.
[00:32:50.498]And there's also rabe, the rabe should overwinter.
[00:32:55.500]And if it comes up in the spring
[00:32:57.890]it'll be one more source of brassica, weed effect.
[00:33:02.620]So I'm trying to get all my nitrogen growing here,
[00:33:05.410]and I'm trying to get all my weed control
[00:33:08.230]in this cover crop.
[00:33:10.060]And this kind of an evolution in the process here,
[00:33:14.310]because there could be other things I add to it.
[00:33:17.777]And then also those cover crops get up high enough,
[00:33:22.460]and when they die they help protect that vetch.
[00:33:27.246](audience members speaks off microphone)
[00:33:37.470]You know it might depend on how warm the winter
[00:33:40.750]or spring you get, and how much growth.
[00:33:43.730]Like the last two years we didn't get much growth.
[00:33:47.150]And there wouldn't probably have been much to graze.
[00:33:51.383]I'm not sure on that, I'm not a cattle guy.
[00:33:56.080]If you could get some use out of it,
[00:33:57.670]that would be fantastic.
[00:34:04.070]Now this is wheat, we put wheat and peas into the rotation.
[00:34:09.620]If I get a field that I think's getting
[00:34:11.820]a little bit too many weeds in it,
[00:34:14.220]I'll put wheat or peas into it.
[00:34:16.530]Get the weeds stopped now, so that I can go into
[00:34:19.010]a clean field the following year.
[00:34:21.620]Now this wheat is generally considered poverty grass,
[00:34:26.640]or that's what the conventional farmers would call it.
[00:34:31.890]And even to an organic farmer would consider it as that.
[00:34:35.550]It yielded 74 bushel an acre.
[00:34:38.130]The only cost I had in it was the seed,
[00:34:43.880]and we watered it twice.
[00:34:47.620]And it was $10.25 a bushel.
[00:34:50.600]You know compare that to my conventional corn,
[00:34:53.870]where I have all the expenses in it.
[00:34:56.720]So that doesn't look that bad
[00:34:58.130]when you consider it that way.
[00:35:02.162](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:35:04.130]Yeah the variety of that was SY Wolf.
[00:35:07.030]There's some new wheat varieties
[00:35:08.640]that have really yielded well.
[00:35:11.030]We had a transitional field the year before this one.
[00:35:14.820]And it yielded 80, with no input on it.
[00:35:21.710]This is our peas here.
[00:35:23.940]The problem with peas is after,
[00:35:26.390]you're getting close to harvest, they can fall down.
[00:35:31.472]And if they fall down, or you don't get to them
[00:35:34.840]for awhile, they can get weedy.
[00:35:37.010]And I've seen some people now that are putting
[00:35:39.950]like a rabe, or canola, or a mustard
[00:35:42.380]with the pea when they plant it.
[00:35:44.690]And I want to try that.
[00:35:45.780]I think I can put mustard in with these,
[00:35:48.180]and have a co-companion crop.
[00:35:51.060]And provide my weed control.
[00:35:53.700]And help the crop stand up.
[00:35:59.600]Oh see that's another one, too.
[00:36:03.630]So are you growing those for grain,
[00:36:06.790]for sale, or are you growing those as a green cover?
[00:36:10.420]These peas will go into
[00:36:13.540]products like Muscle Milk.
[00:36:16.600]It'll go into the protein market.
[00:36:20.430]They're getting very popular.
[00:36:23.500]Plant protein is getting very popular.
[00:36:25.320]I think it's an emerging industry.
[00:36:27.950]People are wanting to cut back on their meat,
[00:36:30.190]and they're wanting plant protein, because it's cleaner.
[00:36:37.610]I just noticed the lady bug on that one.
[00:36:40.380]That gets back to your beneficial insects.
[00:36:42.870]Put your cover crop out there attracts your beneficial
[00:36:45.410]insects and get them back on your cash crop.
[00:36:51.750]Now another thing we do with our cover crop
[00:36:55.810]is we inoculate it with a broad spectrum
[00:36:59.920]bacteria/fungi mix.
[00:37:02.060]We want to get as much biological activity
[00:37:05.830]in that soil as we can.
[00:37:07.280]So when you disc that crop in,
[00:37:09.550]you've got something to eat it.
[00:37:11.800]And I think that's why we're seeing our organic
[00:37:13.590]matters rise up.
[00:37:15.560]We've had readings anywhere from 3.3.% to 4%
[00:37:20.600]on organic matter.
[00:37:22.210]And I'm not getting that on my conventional fields.
[00:37:25.740]So, your cover crop's doing a lot.
[00:37:28.640]It's providing your above ground insects
[00:37:31.700]and it's providing your below ground biology.
[00:37:38.456]Now one day we were out shredding this,
[00:37:41.260]and we were wondering how fast you can plant
[00:37:44.380]after you shred it.
[00:37:47.890]We planted it the next day.
[00:37:51.080]That didn't look very good at all.
[00:37:54.190]But we had enough moisture in the soil,
[00:37:57.830]that we had, it worked out well for planting corn.
[00:38:03.250]If you would have had a five inch rain that night,
[00:38:05.470]I don't think anything would have ran.
[00:38:08.840]The soil would have stayed intact.
[00:38:12.960]And this is at cultivating time.
[00:38:16.180]But you could just see the residue in there.
[00:38:19.769]And if any of you people are, like in hillsides
[00:38:22.020]or something, that's what you want to see.
[00:38:24.160]You want to see a lot of that residue.
[00:38:30.830]This is something we're working on for the future,
[00:38:33.870]no til organic.
[00:38:35.920]And we got a rower there.
[00:38:39.070]Joel's driving that, he likes to go fast,
[00:38:41.330]so we put him in that spot.
[00:38:45.180]I think he's running about eight mile an hour.
[00:38:49.670]And I'm running behind him with the planter.
[00:38:53.870]It planted beautiful, this was two years ago.
[00:38:58.790]We had about four inches of residue there.
[00:39:04.810]The problem we're having, we're finding though
[00:39:07.460]is we can get cutworm when we don't disc the soil.
[00:39:12.260]If we would have disc that in I don't think
[00:39:14.070]we would have had any cutworm.
[00:39:16.460]We're looking at a bait that we can put out there,
[00:39:18.427]and it's organic certified that can attract
[00:39:21.460]the cutworm and kill them.
[00:39:24.530]The other good thing about organic farming
[00:39:26.490]is you can stay behind 20 years in planter technology
[00:39:31.890]and get by fine. (laughs)
[00:39:34.680]Then you can buy cheap.
[00:39:38.300]Now I borrowed these,
[00:39:40.740]these next two slides from Jerry Laners.
[00:39:44.600]When I rolled my cover crop, I rolled it too soon.
[00:39:47.660]It wasn't fully blooming.
[00:39:49.370]And the stuff started growing back up.
[00:39:52.850]Then I took a shredder out and shredded it down,
[00:39:55.027]and I ended up getting about a dry land stand
[00:39:58.330]after I got done doing that.
[00:40:00.630]I made a lot of mistakes that first year.
[00:40:03.430]But this is a picture of Jerry's field,
[00:40:05.570]that's what it can look like.
[00:40:07.890]And it's amazing the amount of weed control
[00:40:10.100]you can get from that vetch.
[00:40:14.080]I'm also thinking that we could put
[00:40:18.260]mustards and radish in with that in the fall maybe,
[00:40:21.700]and pick up that weed control a little bit.
[00:40:24.240]That's something I want to work on.
[00:40:28.721]And that was his field again,
[00:40:34.080]throughout the summer there.
[00:40:36.520]Now this is coming back to my field.
[00:40:38.890]But you can see that residue.
[00:40:40.950]This is in September and it's still there.
[00:40:44.630]And you pick it up like a piece of carpet.
[00:40:47.520]It just pulls up and it's all stuck together.
[00:40:52.139]Has that been cultivated?
[00:40:53.547]No, it's all no til.
[00:40:56.130]The problem I have here is the corn's looking
[00:40:59.170]a little bit yellow.
[00:41:00.490]Well I'm leaving all that residue on the top
[00:41:03.000]that's got all that nitrogen.
[00:41:04.980]So I'm really in a nitrogen deficiency here,
[00:41:08.740]so I've got to correct that.
[00:41:10.730]And that's where maybe I could add a ton
[00:41:13.540]of chicken litter, or something like that to it.
[00:41:16.160]The other thing I was looking at was putting
[00:41:18.310]a row of faba beans down between it.
[00:41:21.930]Corn will give flavanoids to a faba bean.
[00:41:26.033]And the faba bean will increase the nodulation about 40%.
[00:41:30.670]And then the faba bean should give the nitrogen
[00:41:32.980]back to the corn.
[00:41:35.979]So I'm trying to see, will that work?
[00:41:38.440]There's a lot of research been done on it.
[00:41:42.300]I was noticing Joel Groover saying where
[00:41:45.110]he had two rows of corn and a row of beans.
[00:41:47.400]Well, what if I put two rows of corn
[00:41:49.480]and a row of faba beans? F-a-b-a.
[00:41:56.720]You can find, there's a couple of good articles
[00:41:59.870]on the internet where they go into the scientific
[00:42:02.290]part of it, into the research of the faba bean.
[00:42:05.560]And I don't know if a soybean or a pea
[00:42:08.310]will respond the same way that a faba bean does.
[00:42:15.040]Now you're wondering about, how do you get rid
[00:42:16.920]of that cover crop?
[00:42:18.700]You can shred it and this is my Lemken disc here.
[00:42:22.440]And each disc has its own arm.
[00:42:26.960]If you don't need to plant a cash crop behind it,
[00:42:30.370]you can go through your cover crop three feet high,
[00:42:33.380]and that'll go right through it.
[00:42:35.840]So you could use it either way.
[00:42:38.420]You could shred ahead of it,
[00:42:39.570]or you can go right into a standing cover crop.
[00:42:44.933]Lemken? Lemkin.
[00:42:46.391]L-e-m-k-i-n?
[00:42:47.980]K-e-n.
[00:42:49.610]These are made in Germany.
[00:42:52.120]They sell them over here at Seward.
[00:42:56.652]I got a tour of the plant two years ago
[00:42:58.580]where they make them.
[00:43:03.970]This is the other disc I use.
[00:43:05.960]That's a Vaderstad.
[00:43:08.400]That's made in Sweden.
[00:43:10.640]And I like it better, because it has a narrower
[00:43:15.220]disc spacing and it leaves the soil,
[00:43:18.320]I would say less chunky.
[00:43:21.120]When you get to a seven inch spacing
[00:43:22.850]you've got to go deeper.
[00:43:24.430]And the chunks you bring up are gonna make
[00:43:26.100]your ground rougher to drive on.
[00:43:28.120]So that actually does the work better,
[00:43:29.710]and I can adjust the angle of each blade.
[00:43:33.670]And I'm running a little bit straighter,
[00:43:35.200]so I'm doing a real simple cut and a cut.
[00:43:38.330]I'm not throwing stuff around.
[00:43:41.220]And this one is a 25 foot model,
[00:43:44.410]where Lemken, the biggest model they have is 23.
[00:43:52.000]Now there's a Seder that I installed on the back there.
[00:43:57.077]And I blow some of the cover crops on right
[00:44:00.200]in front of these soil runners.
[00:44:04.170]So I can do two things at one time.
[00:44:10.850]This was something Joel kind of,
[00:44:13.490]a project that he did.
[00:44:16.050]He got einkorn seed from a seed conservatory,
[00:44:19.440]and you get 30 little seeds in a package.
[00:44:22.400]And you put them in a row, and you grow them,
[00:44:24.640]and evaluate them, handpick them and make it bigger.
[00:44:28.497]And we ended up with 10 acres of einkorn wheat.
[00:44:32.554]Einkorn wheat is a first wheat known to man,
[00:44:35.220]and that's what fed the Roman army.
[00:44:38.690]It's very high in protein, very low in starch.
[00:44:44.130]It's probably the perfect wheat.
[00:44:45.520]We should be eating this wheat and not the stuff
[00:44:47.610]that we have today.
[00:44:49.340](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:44:53.564]Very low gluten if any gluten.
[00:44:59.209]And it's aggressive.
[00:45:02.210]It'll outrun any type of weed.
[00:45:04.198](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:45:05.810]Yeah, but it's such a limited market.
[00:45:10.270]Currently we're not growing any,
[00:45:11.810]we shared our seed with the university.
[00:45:15.730]The problem with this type of stuff is well,
[00:45:19.082]a guy calls up and he orders 10 bags,
[00:45:20.480]well now he's got a field.
[00:45:23.520]Pretty soon you can't control what happens to the seed.
[00:45:28.290]The seed has a hull on it.
[00:45:30.027]And you have to run it through a de-huller.
[00:45:32.860]So it's,
[00:45:35.940]an interesting crop.
[00:45:38.604](audience member speaks off microphone)
[00:45:48.230]It would yield about 1/2 as much as our conventional wheat.
[00:45:52.530]So that's kind of the rub.
[00:45:53.970]You got to double the price of your wheat,
[00:45:55.090]then you got to get somebody to buy it at an organic price.
[00:45:59.200]Now this is blue Ethiopian emmer.
[00:46:02.950]It's a second generation wheat known to man.
[00:46:06.330]And this would have come out of the
[00:46:09.810]flaxseed area, it would have.
[00:46:14.030]I mean this is an ancient wheat.
[00:46:16.480]But it would actually hull in the combine.
[00:46:19.780]It actually works pretty good.
[00:46:24.750]And I guess that's all the slides I got.
[00:46:27.610]But I just, I wanted to share the idea of using
[00:46:30.420]your cover crop as your nitrogen source.
[00:46:33.150]And think about it also controlling your weeds.
[00:46:37.980]The only thing of course that can mess with that
[00:46:40.530]is you've got one more thing to manage.
[00:46:44.240]That's the draw back of it.
[00:46:46.250]And then Mother Nature, if it doesn't cooperate
[00:46:50.410]with your cover crop,
[00:46:53.036]you could have a cover crop that doesn't look very good.
[00:46:55.460]And you might need to get some manure.
[00:46:58.220]This last year I had the cover crop
[00:46:59.890]wasn't looking very good, and I called Tim up,
[00:47:01.890]I need some manure, I guess it was the other guy.
[00:47:04.340]But, they come out and put my manure on.
[00:47:07.310]Well then in the spring thawed it,
[00:47:09.467]and I think all my manure was running off.
[00:47:11.740]So, two things didn't work.
[00:47:14.840]Your best laid plans sometimes don't work.
[00:47:22.070]Okay, I don't know if anybody's got any questions.
[00:47:24.390]But that's.
[00:47:27.120]Yes.
[00:47:28.312]First, where are you located,
[00:47:29.145]second, (voice fades off microphone)
[00:47:33.270]Okay, the question was where I'm located.
[00:47:35.350]I'm in Hastings, Nebraska.
[00:47:37.360]And on soybean yields,
[00:47:39.690]we, in food grade soybean clear highland, 55 to 60.
[00:47:45.450]If you use a feed grade, you can go higher than that.
[00:47:48.680]But, your yield is limiting on food grade.
[00:47:53.580]We're kind of going into the tofu market,
[00:47:55.930]and the food market.
[00:47:59.730]Yes.
[00:48:01.920]I think earlier you had a slide where
[00:48:04.530]you see it's mustard in the spring. (voice fades)
[00:48:10.700]Yeah, you'll need to plant mustard in spring.
[00:48:13.490]I'd want to go as soon as you can get in the ground,
[00:48:15.670]I'd say the first of March.
[00:48:17.560]Now this last year didn't work out very well,
[00:48:19.780]and we were like mid-April, that's getting too late.
[00:48:22.940]And I think Eric Belken, he flew his on with
[00:48:25.540]an airplane and that worked much better.
[00:48:28.130]So I'd want to have it in the shed and be ready
[00:48:32.200]if it looks like it's gonna be too late,
[00:48:34.090]maybe fly it on, if you can get somebody to do it.
[00:48:44.314]Guess that's all.
[00:48:45.147]Any other questions, oh.
[00:48:51.670]Thank you.
[00:48:53.110]I hope I've been listening well,
[00:48:54.307]but you're the only person I believe
[00:48:57.150]that's mentioned running the pivot irrigation system
[00:49:00.670]on an organic field.
[00:49:02.630]And just in general, what are some of the guidelines
[00:49:08.110]related to that for irrigation management?
[00:49:14.520]We're all irrigated,
[00:49:15.680]so we just about have to irrigate to raise a crop.
[00:49:19.670]I guess we'll have to be more specific question on that.
[00:49:27.609]Do you mean how much to put on?
[00:49:30.810]I suppose, is it just like
[00:49:32.270]a commercial crop?
[00:49:34.350]Okay, of course. Do you think about it
[00:49:35.810]any differently and then what do you do with
[00:49:37.720]the ruts and all that on an organic field?
[00:49:41.860]Yeah we would treat it the same as conventional.
[00:49:46.280]And you get your ruts, but that's the time of year
[00:49:49.020]when you're working your ground up.
[00:49:51.290]So it's really not an issue.
[00:49:53.738]Okay, thanks.
[00:49:56.490]We'd want to have our pivots ready to run sooner,
[00:50:00.000]because we've got cover crops out there.
[00:50:01.930]That maybe the only thing that's different,
[00:50:03.950]between that and conventional.
