- First and last day of Wheat Harvest 2021. Cutting wheat over the top of organic soybeans. Enjoy!
Welcome to Farming With Carp. This channel will show you the jobs that we do on our farm in Indiana each day. We are a regenerative organic farm that capitalizes on the uses of cover crops. We raise corn, soybeans, wheat, peas and alfalfa. We also have a growing herd of livestock on the farm that we graze across our acres. Come along for the ride!

Great Channel! Wish I would have found you sooner.
Make us farmers some “boring” videos about, input costs and returns on different crops and cover crop combinations, ideas, advice, what not to do, etc. You’re 10 years ahead of most of the rest of us!
Thanks for stopping in! I need to make some videos on these topics. It will happen eventually!
Looking forward to them!
Good job!!! Love all ur videos ty.....
Ol J Mauk would be proud 😆
Great job!
Maybe you might try planting the soybeans later next year so they wont be as tall . I think you on the right track with the relay cropping you just need to fine tune the process. You wont learn if you dont try . We are currently on our last fields of wheat then we will start custom harvesting. Great video keep up the good work and stay safe!
Exactly right, best way to learn is by trial and error. Thanks for the support
This looks great. Bummer the beans grew so fast ;) you might want to play around with long straw wheat and bean planting dates. Our wheat is still completely green :(
One more thing, the 2nd crop is basically taking the place of your weeds. It’s going to compete just like a weed. But you can’t use a weed as another cash crop.
Back to the stripper header. My 9500
is a hill combine. You can make it lift the whole machine up. If the moon and the stars all line up, you can strip the doughy stage rye cover crop off, and it can be roasted just like soy beans. It has feed value.
All of our cereals are inter cropped. Going in after corn, the hope is maybe, just maybe some of that N will be available to the wheat. Not much is, but being land limited makes it worth it.
We’re putting stuff from the pea family in, and stuff that we can harvest all at once. We’ll do a lot wetter wheat also, the samples are really dirty, but it goes through a whole milling process that cleans and dries everything as it sorts it.
After that, we’ll double crop after the 80/20 ground is cleared. Like I said, being so limited on land, yet trying to get a good mix of ingredients for a small feed milling operation to keep our own livestock thriving, as well as a handful of local growers, you do what you gotta do.
We have a small demand for some spring wheat too. That stripper header, here is where it can come in handy, especially to a guy with low class combines for all but 2 weeks out of the year. It doesn’t send all the junk back into the combine, and you have a nice standing cover to plant in to. I have pulled a roller with my little combines. Hell, I’ve pulled planters with crimpers and drills too, but it didn’t work lol I charge a 6 pack of Busch light for that story. I had a bigger audience than the Bureau County fair one time.
The thing about milling, is it put me back to working on a dirt floor shed for 10 years, because I gave up my shop for it. But here in another month, I’ll be back in the lap of luxury again.
I need to come visit your operation. Sounds like you have got a lot going on. ill bring the 6 pack to hear the story!
@@farmingwithcarp8551 I’m a lot smaller than you, or Rick. But we’re on our 2nd 20 year farm plan, and have 2 decades of every thing we’ve tried, what the results were, and what all the contributing factors such as weather, even how many grazing days on each acre were.
This whole thing is data.
Just an idea. Maybe relay cropping rye instead of wheat because it grows taller?
Yes, rye or triticale. Stay tuned for the next video. It is what you just described.
I was thinking the same thing
For feeding you might try hulless barley! Check it out!
Didn't know it's possible doing organic notill without drowning in weeds. Really interesting stuff you're doing there! How much higher is the price for organic wheat/crops in general in percent?
Greetings from Germany
Das wäre wirklich interessant zu erfahren.
We sell our wheat as feed grade wheat to an organic dairy. We sell it for about 20% higher than the market as of right now. Rough numbers here. Corn about 50% higher, soybeans about 60%-70% higher. It depends what type of that crop you raise also. feed grade vs food grade.
New to your channel, where do you buy your organic seed from?
We get our seed from several different vendors. Puris, Albert Lea, Becks, Prairie Hybrids, just to name a few.
