When cover crops go wrong... it gets messy. Also sunflowers.

  • This happened to 2 fields totaling about 90 acres. Despite this, the second field that you don't see here is averaging about 154 dry bu/ac in a county with an average of 175. Unfortunately, the field in this video was going to be our corn plot field. So no variety research this year.

    Do y'all drill most all your cover crops? You mentioned a roller crimper I've been wondering how they would work on corn stalks. I currently bush hog mine but need a bigger bush hog and I would like to have a roller crimper for covers. You think it would work on corn stalks too?

      We drill all of our cover crops. We used to have a modified high-clearance sprayer with a Valmar box, but it was less effective and required more seed per acre due to lower germination rates. It does allow you to cover many acres quickly, as well as interseed into standing corn and soybeans, but it was not worth the investment in our operation.
      It does indeed work on cornstalks. We will pull our roller over cornstalks on rye cover ground on occasion and it works fine as long as it isn't muddy.

    So what exactly would you have done differently?

    • @brandtfarm1229

      Delayed termination until after the rain had left and the ground dried enough to not cause the mold.

    Couldn’t watch the video because you kept swing the camera so much. Constantly back and forth!
