    Excellent looking crop ! You are definitely one of the best at demonstrating what is possible in the farming world without hosing the countryside with poison (aka) herbicide !!

    I would have thought that cultivating smaller plants would be more stressful, but your explanation makes sense. Beautiful field 🌽😊👍

    Your corn looks nice Jack. Its been hit or miss around the country this year with rain fall. Sure feel bad for the guys who are liquidating herds do to drought. We had a dry spell, and now its wet again. I planted some conventional corn this year, cultivated it twice with a 2 row modified 825 Deere. Lets just say I have a lot to learn, but "Most" of the corn is still standing!

      Geez Brad, with all the years you have farmed, I would have thought you had cultivated at least a few acres for someone.

      @@kswaynes7569 Sounds crazy I know! But as far back as I can remember we've always sprayed. With all the uncertainty in the world today, I feel like a guy should have a back up plan, because it seems as of late, its become way to apparent how dependent we are on other countries and should anything happen, we may have to resort to alternative farming practices which we may not be used to!

    Field looks awesome Jack! Again some of my favorite of your vids are the cultivation ones. I always learn something. Glad those rains didn’t cause too much loss. Can you tell on fields with better OM that you get better infiltration?

      The rain was so severe, we had some washing. Didn’t matter the location or soil type 🙁

    I’d like to do some sort of cultivating but install a interseeder on it to incorporate covers for fall or spring grazing.

    • @GeigerFarm
      @GeigerFarm  Před 3 lety +1

      That is the ideal that I am working towards, especially on fertile bottom ground! I think that an air unit, with hoses that can be placed to ensure soil incorporation would be the ticket (Valmar).
