Grandson Silas helping uncover our first crop of notill potatoes. Just through the potato’s on top of ground and covered with straw. I think some got covered to deep but most of them came eventually.
Tell me the truth, we’ve all been there. You call your wife to come to the field to get you because you thought you could make it one more pass closer. This time I got the call.
NDSU #soilhealth has hit a milestone: 100 large field days and workshops held in past 6 years. We’ve reached just shy of 10,000 with info! Throw in 69 Cafe Talks reaching another 1,200 farmers - now we’re having fun! Let’s see what the next 6 years brings!
One of the first tractors I ever did field work with, wish I could say I was pulling a notill drill in 1967 at the mature age of nine years old but it was a five bottom plow with trip beams that you had to back up if you hit a rock to reset the plow beam. I backed up a lot!
My crop consultant and soil science daughter Maria is broadcasting some low spots in my Jackhammer Radish fields. Wouldn’t mind if they drown out on Friday. @MariaBreker#Jackhammerradish
@NDSUsoilhealth Not sure what I think of this yet but in the fall of 16 I did an experiment with vernal/wild alfalfa added to my biostrip till. We will see how the soybeans do vs just rye.
