@TZimmermanfarms@kariannolson@AgassizSeed We were lucky and caught a rain right after we seeded. Also wondering if the early frost taking off the leaves a little early allowed more sunlight sooner.
Experimented with flying a cover crop into our soybeans before leaf drop. Interested to see if it will help break up the soybean mat for planting wheat next spring.

@racer_salty@NDSUsoilhealth@AgassizSeed We aren’t having issues planting into the bean stubble, just find that the it can be slow to warm up and dry down if it is a wet and cold spring. With wheat we like to get in as soon as possible.
@FarmrHuntr We were nervous about it too since it was pretty well established, but no not really. The only thing we noticed is that there was more residue going through the combine in the well established areas and it slowed us down one night when the humidity rose.
If you're trying out #notill and #covercrops, you won't look the same as everybody else. But Kari Olson of Hawley assures the #DIGtheCTC crowd that's ok. And sometimes it pays off.
“Base hits get you further than home runs,” says Kari Olson, Hawley Minnesota talking about strategies used in her family’s switch to no-till. #DIGtheCTC
Rob and daughter Kari talking about the biggest challenge w/ #no-till is convincing the landowners to agree to longer contracts to see the improvement in the soil. #DIGtheCTC#SoilHealth
Time for the CTC Farmer Panel. Very different farm experiences and different ways to improve the #soilhealth. @farmmillennial moderating and taking audience questions. #DIGtheCTC
