Are you rolling thousands of acres spring or fall.can you write down timing of roller crop// cash row crop planting schedule.??? I have 15 foot roller BUT/AND have not figured/ haven't learned scheduling of over and cash crop plantings and termination etc.. thank you for/you pix aNd explanations. Maybe i/get ambitious and hook up to drills and roller again. And get seed located ahead of rain too of course. I in eastern ks. Dennis
Its not the number of species in the mix thats important, its the diversity of plant families. In your mix you have 5 species and they are all from different plant families (4 is recommended minimum according to Dr Christine Jones) so you should see excellent results from this diversity.
I’m curious what part of western Kansas you are in? I consider myself to be from western Kansas and I didn’t know anybody was using that kind of equipment. I just purchased a roller and plan to roll cereal rye this spring.
Great video! Looking forward to see the wheat stand with this. Do you think there will be any issues with the drill getting through the canopy of everything laying down, such as going against or with the grain, or perpendicular to the direction you rolled the cover crops?
@@youngredangus6041 I thought of that after I posted. You need to terminate now and protect the soil so you've got enough moisture to get the wheat started. ? I'm guessing wheat planting for you is mid Sept? I'm in NW IL.
Have you tried rolling sorghum sudan? My experience has been that you’ll get a lot more biomass in drier, hotter weather. Also when rolled/ flattened you get great ground cover and it doesn’t kill it. The plant will regrow and tiller.
@@youngredangus6041 I’ve only had a need to do it once. I just drug a log behind the tractor. Did that on half of the field and bush hogged the other half. The “logged” half seemed to cover the ground much better and rebound quicker. it was close to 2months old. Just getting ready to put seed heads on, basically when you can crimp the stem by hand. I got the idea when I saw my run-over paths for poly wire coming back and tillering as good as if they’d been grazed.
@@youngredangus6041 this was 4 years ago and was going to be tiled that winter. Corn the following spring. This is my first time messaging on YT. Does it let you send pictures?

I think this will work better in eastern ks. It didn’t end up working all that well for me
First!
Rewatched- monologue in cab sounds 🦻🏻 good 👌🏻
Also, 13:54 trees in the background - we know you only have one tree out by your place

I’m 6 miles from Colorado in Greeley county
Ok , I’m between dodge city and garden city , I’m glad I found your videos.
Your videos get better and better! Can't wait to see how the wheat does.
Thanks for the encouragement!
How do you think you could have improved your roller kill? More weight? Waiting longer?
Maybe plant it thicker? I’m not sure what to do right now.
Nice to see

I was planning on drilling it at an angle
I like doing that because when we plant wheat into the residue it seems to do better
Our experience says your travelling a bit slow you ll get a better crimp
Thanks
What speed? Are you doing summer covers?
@@youngredangus6041 in Australia mate so between 14-17km/h 8-11 miles you.ll know the sweet spot when you try it with a draw style roller
Why not drill then roll? I'd be worried about hair pinning rolling first.
I can’t count in it raining. So we are trying to preserve as much moisture as possible. Our annual precipitation is 16inches
Where are you from Jacob?

What stage are you rolling it at?
Or how tall is it when you are rolling?

Awesome
are you going to drill wheat into it?

Супер
GOOD VIDEO
Thanks! Do you do any summer covers? Or do you roll any cover crops?
@@youngredangus6041 I help my family grow pistachio s here in the San Joaquin Valley California trying to convince them to try biology
@@charlienatera467 cool
Have you thought about building some johnson Sue’s
@@youngredangus6041 yes when fall leaf drop happens I will attempt one
@@charlienatera467
That’s awesome
