@SE_ResearchFarm We used our stripper header in our pea/barley intercrop just last season

@jrichburg95 We ran this setup for the last 6 years It was a D450 windrower with a 625 mac-don sprayer attachment but upgraded to a pull type for this season to a 8100 John deere and a 9300 fast pull type

@jtdmathieson I would phone @BASFAgSolutions cause when I phoned and asked this question they mentioned to me that it only kills the top growth but won't kill the plant. Possibly bigger ones is will handle but small ones might die as it doesn't have enough energy to regrow

@sunfertilizer @jtdmathieson Forgot to ask down the seed row or blown on

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@sunfertilizer @jtdmathieson What was your alfalfa rate in with the canola

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@ErikWiegand1 What is your water (Suspention)rate? And what size of nozzles you using I'm assuming your using flood jets?

@o2farms_sk @ChristiFriesen i had problems with one of my sf 3000 two days ago i went from rtk to waas to no signal within 24hrs! talk about major down grade 😂, but my other sf3000 with sf1 has been working perfically fine. both where even updated

Boregine blue #lupin is ahead of our faba beans which were seeded earlier. Lupins are not susceptible to aphanomyces like peas and are earlier maturing when compared to faba beans. Will be small acres for commercial contracts in 2022 ⁦@KoraltaAgri⁩

@tpotwilson we are looked at this this year, we have wide rows and leave our strip stubble standing looking back we tend to do better when its dry vs wet

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@cdnagro we are on 20" twin row

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@SStrydhorst what hubs and tires do you have on the rear of the drill we had thoughts on doing that sort of modification

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@ThijsAG @woody_VA @sf28430 not sure, better than full width we did it being we did not like the 10" seedrows being far away from midrow banders we might have less leaf disease but as for fusarium, it might help unless conditions are condusive as one of our locations has it and another doesn't

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@woody_VA @sf28430 hmmm do i see another wide row twin row wheat?

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@SE_ResearchFarm ok cool thanks will be neat to see the 5 different oat rates and the results

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@SE_ResearchFarm did you do any other seeding rates, of the intercrop mix

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@Byron20670550 @SE_ResearchFarm biggest advantage we found the bounty was ready before both other varieties,

[Adam McMillan @FarmFuel]

@Byron20670550 @SE_ResearchFarm we tryied the bounty gold from 6 king in our peaola and it did very weĺl compared to pioneers new 502CL and our go to pionner 45H76. what we found from last year the intercrop yeild from best to wost whent 46H76, bounty gold, 502CL, with about 2-3 bushel difference

@JoshFankhauser1 its s Carter-day 245

for all you #intercropinnovators, how about flax-barley intercrop, separating the valuable volunteer barley out of the flax. like the idea so far being both are high microhizal supporters
