I am Jon Stevens I am married to my wife Carin and we farm Maple Grove Farms out of Rock Creek Mn. We are a strip till/ no till farm.

@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.

@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.....

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

@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

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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@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.

@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.

@ManureProf @mncorn @kruser02 Beautiful!

@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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@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.

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@braunfarm Impressive Beast!

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

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

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@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. https://t.co/B2jqVOmQjD

[Jon stevens @Jonstevens4640]

@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

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