Success with No-Till Organic Soybeans: Getting That Good Weed-Free Stand
ฝัง

- Demand for organic soybeans is increasing. Organic dairies and poultry producers use soybeans as feed, and are looking for sources of organic grain in the Southeast. No-till organic soybeans can be successful with good yields in addition to the benefits for the soil of using a cover crop and reducing tillage.

love the information you guys had to offer on this video. Only thing I wish was different was that you had a secondary one for the Midwest region of the country. I love how you guys covered all the different areas from Quitman to the way you plan to what type of crops to put in for a cover crop. a lot of people don't discuss seeding rates or anything of that nature either! thanks again
thank you
Once upon a time all food was organic
Regenerative is far more than organic.
the problem I see is all these cover crop programs are using just rye for a cover crop. Try using a wide variety of cover crops like beets, vetch, peas and beans, etc. Each variety adds something different to the soil. With this type of cover cropping you can eliminate the fall tillage all together. If the goal is to do no-till soybeans why not no-till the cover crop too.
Are you farming like this? What is going to happen to the bean seed in the spring when it has to come up through all of this rotting mass that hasn't been cultivated in ?
The tillage is for the rye crop not the beans, they go right into the green straw residue.
Adding diversity to the cover crop would reduce its mulch potential.
@angrybeaversmc Do you think one gets a thick swamp of rotting stuff? It's not nearly as horrible as you make it seem, unless you can point to a youtube video showcasing it?
Also, plant diversity means biological diversity which prevents pathogens from taking over.
The cover crop must be killed which is why they crimp the rye at a specific time. Some other crops you mentioned simply wont die like the rye does and youll have huge regrowth issues
Sorghum Sudangrass is a little better than rye. Basically tills the soil itself. Mixing it with rye would help maybe.

Noce thing about rye is you plant it in fall and it overwinters and keeps growing in spring. It fits nicely between summer crops and winter spring season. Sorghum is a summer grass.
Sickling the rye is cheaper and better for the soil. Planting into it is just as easy and the weed mat lasts just as long.
also plant clover in it !
When you plant through the rye, do you penetrate the soil below or go just under the rye on top the soil?
Thank you for your question. We ask you to pease direct all questions to your local county extension agent who will be able to get you that important information.
How did the crop turn out? Sustainable?
Hell, yes. Better than ever.
Can you give Hindi translation of this video

I bite my fingernails, how do i find out the milk stage for my rye?
Squeeze the pod
8000 lbs an acre in seed, is that right?
Rick Clark is farming 7,000 acres of no till organic corn, soybeans and wheat. He never tills.
For metrics people: 200.000 seed per acres is 497.000 per hectare? Isnt too much?
Rye is not a good mix in an organic system if you are using a wheat rotation.
Why?
She said that continuous no till is not possible and I believe that's a bunch of crap.
its is crap. this is a tillage system with just a lower amount of tillage.
Can you do it?
Gabe Brown hasent tilled in 20 + years....read up on him
@@rometroy420 Yes, but he relies on herbicides. Unfortunately there is no example of real organic no till system on a large scale. Only few farmers had managed to do it, have a look to Yoshikazu Kawaguchi farm. Althought if you do not till or spray herbicides, It does require a lot of labour, cutting weeds by hand with the sickle.
Organic spelt "organic"?
You'all know why organic crops must be certified organic? Answer: there ain't no other way of knowing.
Very true
They can be tested for toxic chemical contamination.
I may not agree with these production methods but I guess someone has to supply the market. I'm not against organic farming. It's just a shame the stigma it creates that gives regular "non organic" farmers a bad name, when in fact there is no scientific evidence to prove farming with modern herbicides can be harmful to consumer's health. I lived in the city for a few years while I was studying and was amazed how uneducated the majority of these "organic only" consumers were. They've never set foot on a farm, yet have a grounded opinion. Each to their own I guess.
Kara Yermukan, note the results in this paper are drawn from direct exposure to chemicals such as glyphosate. I wholeheartedly agree that direct exposure could cause cancer and other illnesses. They cannot prove, however, that products like cereal crops or livestock that have grazed areas (after the withholding period) can be harmful to humans. Each chemical has a residual. Glyphosate leaves little residual, meaning once it does its job, it breaks down and is non existent. We don't consume it.
I think you need to read up on herbicides and pesticides.... there is alot of scientific research out there
@@hzgts308 Sorry to inform you but you are spouting the Monsanto talking points that are out right lies!
The problem with going organic for a farmer is (1) it’s a new market but yield is much worse (2) it requires a lot more human labor (if conventional wasn’t enough) (3) what happens if hail hits the weak crop?
And why do people make it sound so much healthier? It’s honestly very misleading. Even on the websites of these ‘Certified Organic’ or ‘Non GMO’ admit that there isn’t true proof that conventional food causes any harm to the human body. It’s honestly just a marketing tactic.
Obviously you have no clue my friend. You use old arguments that professionals have
proven to be wrong!
It’s a farm in the southwest Minnesota, we raise corn and soy, and yes, I know what organic farming is, and what it’s like, I’m not clueless.

@@c_games5665 I have not used fertilizer since 76 But i do use Australian sea water and fish and kelp folular spray For my hay and intensive grazing operation. This gives my soil every known element instead of just NPK. It takes at least $400 an acre for my conventional neighbors where as my costs last year averaged $40.00 an acre. I admit I am still learning but cover crops are the key to soil health and nutrient dense crops! I'm in Northwestern Pa.
chasjulia08 I am not against organic farmers, I’m just mad that one side gets all the blame, and one gets all the support. I appreciate your comment and sorry for being harsh at first, I should’ve been more equal sided on my comments, and yes, conventional is very expensive, so really you have to be a certain size until you can use the technology. I do have to say, money wise, organic is the way to go, but when a farm gets to a certain size, it just becomes too much labor with using organic methods at that size, so that’s why farmers make the switch.
