- the meeting went well. I think we figured out the issues and I have already begun to remedy them. I will also be applying some fertilizer to my beans if this weather keeps up the way its going. deer will be the issue I cant control like I would like to.

Appreciate the realness in your content, it's like a dose of authenticity
Keep up with the good work love watching you on CZcams god bless
its all a learning process keep up the awesome work cheers
The 'Prescription Tillage Technology' (Iowa) discs/ openers - (serrated STPS for rock soils)on the John Deere planters/ seeders might be worth a try next season. The STP discs were developed due to slow corn emergence in wet Iowa spring conditions. Claims - to have less seed trench sidewall compaction, less hair pinning for no till, U shaped seed trench to allow the Keeton seed firmer to press the seed to the bottom of the seed trench etc. Aussies always trying different things, e.g steel rod in a ring for planter gauge wheels. "RYAN NT Gauge Wheels on Double Disc Planters, including John Deere and Kinze"
The variability of corn development is caused by variance of soil temperature at planting. If the insulating residue is not cleared over the top of the seed site, and remain clear, the problem will continue. Not likely to be the chemistry or nutrient deficiency you mentioned. Very few no-till operators execute cleaning function fully.
You are right about the previous rains received and the profile collapse they left. No tillage will cure it.
Deer have ruined the beans in my well fenced in garden this year. This fall I will act accordingly
Get the moldboard plow out.
Ripstriping
When vertical tillage first came out everyone in my area bought one and was the only thing we used. Well fast forward 15 years and we’ve found out it created a hard pan much like the moldboard plow did just not as deep. There a great tool but most people here have gone to a rotation of ripping or some sort of chisel plowing on certain fields every few years. We’re also on heavy red clay. Maybe not your problem but might be something to look into.
6:00 I like your theory on the "too cold for the corn". Residue shades the ground retaining moisture; which is a huge benefit later in the dry hot summer where you may measure 70deg shaded soil vs 120deg bare cooking dirt in July torching the corn. This year has been a cooler spring but just wait it will be super hot again and need that cover. .. Chemistry courses taught that for every 10deg rise in temperature you get twice the reaction rate; which carried over into practical bread making and home brewing that reveals a similar activity with yeast (which are plants). Keep it in the right range and the conversion is fast while colder definitely slows it down. .. You're on the right idea path with corn leaf temperature, I've seen the same thing in my system which has a whole lot more cover than you have here (I'm planting into standing rye, then knock it flat after corn emerges).
Heavy residue keeps ground cooler early season so the roots aren’t deep enough to get to the N yet. Just my thoughts
Hi, one lonely farmer. I'm not a farmer, but I remember back in the seventies, all framers ploughed their land, and there were no problems with compaction on their crops. I think these clowns in government don't have a clue how farming works.That's my ten cents. Good luck with the crops, and God bless you and your family from across the pond in Great Britain
Ploughing has some benefits, but they don't allways pay the fuel bill.😁
Great stuff, just growing pains they go through certain conditions but they will yield good
I think by reading a lot of the comments that people don't understand that this will take a long time to establish a soil structure where compaction will be a minimal problem. One of the videos I saw on some of Dave Brant's practices. He had set up a White corn planter to plant tillage radishes in wheat stubble, then planted corn down those rows the following spring. Tillage, especially full tillage, means starting starting from scratch when it comes to using the covers for soil building.
Good content. 👍
Good video.
Keep on farming Summer weather
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Don’t know if you saw, millennial farmer last video was visiting John Deere research farm. Had some novelty automated tractors but more interesting was a sprayer that has two parallel sprayer systems two allow multiple products to be sprayed at the same time. One as a normal sprayer would apply and the second using cameras and computer automation to automatically detect unwanted plants and spot spray them individually reducing product used and only targeting problem spots. Looked a bit like a giant inkjet printer going across the field. Overall seemed interesting then came the deal breaker, oh ya the boom is so heavy we had to upgrade it to carbon fiber. Didn’t look very inexpensive or repairable. 😂
Glad to hear the crops are coming around and looking better. Wishing you and your family the best.
Carbon fiber can be repaired
I agree with some compaction
we growed the same exact corn every year for 10 yrs used the same fert, plowed, done the same every year only diff was rain hoping it would rain at silk to get the best crop
Have a good week
Wouldn't it be better to till it 4" or 5" deep and put seeds 2" deep?? The roots would have an easier the in its 1st stages.??
Good morning. This spring was a nightmare
Wes, just a silly question, how often do you take soil samples? If your issue is a compaction problem, this is where you need to use a deep ripper or moldboard plow followed by a chisel to break up the shearing from a moldboard plow does. It's what we've done here, of course, we'd plow about every 5th -7th yr of planting. Can't help much with your slug issue, never had that issue here where I'm at. Aphids however, spray now before it really becomes a bigger issue for you. Do you spread manure on this particular field? If not, you should and work that into the soil along with gypsum, will help loosen the soil. Great video as always, cheers :)
Don't comment much but Marian colmer that makes the upgrades to the combines was no till for 30 year's but he is seeing that no till is okay but might have to do tillage every few years
I agree, Marion has been doing research for years and has a wealth of knowledge. czcams.com/video/3jOs8fjZnmw/video.htmlsi=b9Qw1n6bO8Q7h55k
Hi Wes, another great video. Wandering what you are planning to do to solve your compaction problem? Are you planning to put in a form of tillage radish in the fall as a cover crop? Deep ripping? As your SOM increases, so will your soil structure and aeration, but I image you will be planning a more pressing solution to this issue. Thanks again, and good luck to you.
Nice video
Maybe they look better cos uncovered soil warms up faster.
Try putting a thermometer in the soil at those places.
Wes, what gets rid of the slugs ? They seem to be quite a problem this year and I don't recall you saying they were an issue in the past.
Thanks and good luck with finding something that WORKS !
👍👍😊😊
Ammonia sulfate will and a gallon of liquid nitrogen per 100 gallons when you spray
@@onelonleyfarmer
THANKS !
👍👍😊😊
Have you thought about doing what Dave brant use to do .He plant tillage in rows in the fall then in spring plant corn on top of radish row. Helps I guess.
Should of said use tillage radish in row ahead of corn
👍👍
I'm no cornexpert, but decomposing residue consumes nitrogen... if you have other issues like compaction fields with heavier reidue can suffer more.
Lots of residue will also attract those slugs on wet years as well.
Ohh yes, i heard about those super beans from Ukraine, its like a super secret crop to take down the big guys out there😂
👍🏻🍻
Sulphur moves all over. Other nutrients like calcium only go one direction. Calcium moves down.
Vigilant Wes, vigilant.
That's why I don't believe in no till especially corn, corn root don't like Competition and compacted soil, best I saw on internet for now to Bridge that gap is Brazilian planters.
Can't remember the guy that says you need to plow every 3 to 4 years to get the nutrients in the root zone. Other years you can do what you are doing.
Or you can do what I suggested yesterday and run a subsoiler foot deep.
Goes back to if you ever mudded a field in or a harvest.
I takes that ground especially if it was done at harvest 3 to 4 to heal/recover from it .
Many guys like you are doing something every 3to 4 years
Maybe Marion Calmer of Calmer corn heads? He’s been no-till for years and discovered the fertilizer was all in the top few inches of soil and has started doing tillage to get the fertilizer down deeper.
Knee high by the 4th of July?
What is your population goal with the drill? I shoot for 160,000 with my 1590 drill. With 90% germination that gets me roughly 145,000 stand or better if the germination is better than 90%
140000 is what I was recommended by the seed company for these 3 variety's. I should have put down 220000because of the damn deer and slugs.
Have you noticed any difference in the farms and places that you used the ripper you wnt and bought a couple years back? I know you ran it some. Just curious 👌
Same yellow corn
Wes, maybe give Marion Calmer of Calmer corn heads a call. He’s been no-till for years and has a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Row crops in your area are a bitch to grow with the deer problem. Hope things turn for you.
Around v3 the plant switches from living off the contents of the seed and transitions to living off photosynthesis and root uptake. The sins of spring often are on full display at this point. I'm guessing you have quite a bit of hatchet root going on in the discolored areas. The VT tool you own is notorious for creating a compaction layer at 2" deep that roots in the right condition can really struggle with. You need to bring a shovel with you EVERYTIME you walk a field. The root structure can tell a lot.
I do carry a shovel and the compaction has been reduced greatly by using it. A vt does not create compaction a disc does.
@@onelonleyfarmer a true VT tool doesn't add compaction. But when you run on any angle beyond 0 degrees on your turbotill it is just a disk and no longer a vt. They are extremely heavy and do a lot more surface damage than most know. Dig up some plants in your next video to humour me. LOL
Trump is now favored to win New Jersey
Vigilant
Your corn needs some water and you have bad soil compaction
Why does there seem to be so many dead trees surrounding these corn fields ?
Emerald ash borers killed all the ash trees here
Same here in Northern Wisconsin. Everyone just logging out all the ash trees before they die.
Yellow corn all across the US, but we’re going to yield an average of 181😂😂😂😂 can you say we’re getting f’cked?
cold and wet.
Its the rain
focus on the problems, not the issues.
Hey you didn't use your secret sauce this year call Gary
Secret sausage 😂

I thought it might have been Mg, thats from my vineyards experience. SOA was hard on my soils, I stopped using it due to Ph problems and locked up minerals. However we are all unique and so our our soils. I put Urea on now and use Serpentine as my main fert as our serpentine has Mg and is slow release . Good luck with the season.
Urea will decrease high PH?
I'm not sure but suspect so, I do a lot of trials, so far urea is cheapest N for buck

What click bait?
@@onelonleyfarmer Where's Syngenta?
@@Mazel_Tov_888 They probably didn't want to be filmed but if you watched the video you'll know.
@@ZboeC5 No no, I watched the video. I'm a new viewer, the thumb nail has a pic of a woman in the field, I heard a female voice behind the camera in the past i assumed she was going to be featured in this video, when she wasn't that's why called click bait. Being new I assumed Syngenta was the name of woman pictured in the thumb nail and the voice behind the camera the past video lol.
