Wetland Restoration in Southeastern Minnesota
Aaron and Amanda Armstrong, producers in Steele County Minnesota, have been working with the NRCS, BWSR, and SWCD since 2012 to restore their 880 acers of marginal farmland back into its original wetlands. Noel Frank, former District Conservationist and Jim Smith, Soil Conservation Technician, Natural Resources Conservation Service, along with Tom Wenzel, Water Resources Senior Engineer, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, walk us through the seven stage process of how these marginal farming acres were restored into wetlands. More than 40 miles of drain tiles were taken out and 45 wetland scrapes were created. Following the construction, 70 species of grass, sedges, and wild flowers were planted on the site. The wetlands were designed to require low maintenance while enhancing the water quality from the 1,300 acre watershed. These wetlands are now home to countless species of waterfowl and other wildlife.

Energy Efficient Dairy Farming in Minnesota
มุมมอง 11K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Nick and Tara Meyer have been working with the NRCS and SWCD on improving the energy efficiency of their dairy farm for many years. They milk 280 Holstein cattle twice each day, and they grow corn, alfalfa, and soybeans on the 800-acre farm in Stearns County, Minnesota. They have worked with the NRCS on manure storage pits, stacking slab, sediment control basins, grass waterways, and several en...

Awesome!
Thanks!
Excellent healthy effort that is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Congratulations Great job!
Tank you.
He builds them now. You can order them as a prefab I think. But this is how I want to grow flowers. th-cam.com/video/IZghkt5m1uY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VmRQ_bq5BfbRd0Jq
Beautiful work. Very well done.
Thanks!
Thank you
If your BS glass was half full, it’s all the way full after watching this video. NRCS is full of crap. If you do a ground lease you will have no say in your land management and they will do a piss poor job managing your land. Their goal is to bankrupt you so they can take your land. Me and my brothers are thinking about making our own video of how awesome NRCS is
So, how do you replace the nutrients you take out without tilling whatever is left over from reaping it back into the ground?
I think android already does satellite messaging since android 15. But yes i returned my garmin inreach 2
He says he loves these animals, but he breeds them to be slaughtered. Where´s the love???
Some varieties don't like no till, is my takeaway
Thank you for your comment! This is a new updated video of the Olson's operation th-cam.com/video/Dbt36t1AxVw/w-d-xo.html.
Everyday is a learning curve and working with what you have instead of adding more acres.
They need drive more slow during seeding! It helps a lot decreasing weed germination!
All these bare soil! Cover crops? Blessings from France
I'm not sure whether they use no-till and/or cover crops on this dairy farm. They did not mention that.
Will you be looking at a stripper header ?
If you haven't already look into solar panels for your barns.
Why not cover the lagoon, capture the methane to run the grain dryer, gas appiances, even a electricity generator to sell peak power back to the grid as another crop. You can make bio diesel also.
Need a large dairy for that to work.
What do you do with the spoil from the excavation?
Absolutely ridiculous... Better stick to your day job hobby farmer.... You're no good at growing a corn crop!
That corn looks like absolute s#!t.. you would be better off raising a better corn crop and feeding your cattle corn than messing with some stupid cover crop....
❤ luv this! I just turned 42 and never knew there was such a thing as sugar, beets, or beet sugar. I should say I have a newfound appreciation for them and can’t wait to grow them in my own garden.
Worms and fungus? Or are they still spraying (poisoning) the land? 🤔
Glyphosat is not harming Earthworms. Tillage harms them a lot! Take a spade and start digging in a No-till crop where weeds are sprayed off before seeding and also dig in a soil that was tilled before seeding! You will see the no-till soil has much more active soil life 🪱
Shut up
Thank you for sharing!
Nice job, if you're not doing yet another enhancement to incorporate add to your cover crop at seeding fungi that helps with nutrient transport and nitrogen fixing bacteria specific to grasses not just legume strains.
Growing soil is the answer.
Growing soil is the answer.
Is he harvesting the corn or letting cows graze it over the winter?
I believe he harvest the corn first. Then he grazes the the cattle on the field sometime after harvest.
Hi, do you need a permit to build a high tunnel in Mn?
Do you still have alfalfa fields for haylage or is the rye and winter wheat supplying enough
Bravo! I like the stripper head, the higher stubble catches more snow, and taller stubble might help ground nesting wildlife. Pollinator strips-I hope this becomes a normal site on working farms!
The bees thank you
I agree!
Great information!!
Thanks for the comment!
Love it! I'd love to work with my dad to convert to this method on East Central SD ground!
Good luck!
Nej cov teb zoo heev li os tuaj nrog nej ua teb thiab 😀😀😀
When u have a possible freeze in 1st of may and a freeze in mid Sept your limited ! It's a challenge!
We’re did you buy these high tunnel green houses
We’re did you get your green house sir
💃 'Promosm'
I’m curious why you decided to burn rather than other methods? I’m not sure if the other methods are scalable or can be accomplished in your timeframe, but it would be good to explore for future projects. Great project, congrats.
Thank you for producing fruit. Where do you market your peaches.
Can you give me some information about your greenhouse? Were you got it .. what model? And size
Great to have side dressing. Why do it with N though?
To have one less pass over the field in order to save fuel costs, time, and soil compaction.
Nothing wrong with relinquishing a little yield in exchange for less tillage, less herbicides, chemicals, building biology in the soil, and so on. It’s about our future, and your children’s future.
Thanks for your comment.

I didnt know you could graze cpr land?
I believe it is a case by case situation. Check with your local NRCS office for more specific information. Thanks for your comment.
would love to see a comparison of this system with a conventional but reduced fertilizer regime as he seems to be applying vs a living soil regime supported by compost tea sprays vs living soil with organic fertilizer
I love this please I need help with you guys I'm local ferma in my farms I don't have tractor I need you help me out for one tractor so that I can grow in my farms
