We plant double crop beans but we are also south of you guys near the Michigan Ohio border . We normally plant 1000 to 1500 acres of double crop beans and we can get 30 bushels off them . Honestly you guys should try double crops as long as you get them planted before July 15th you can harvest them before Thanksgiving most years .
That's awesome you can get that off double crops. We really like going in after wheat add planting the multi species cover crop mix. It's a good way to get roots in the soil after wheat and keep them there until the corn planter comes through.
I assume you will put a cover crop on this ground but what mix will you use and then next year will it go to corn or beans. But all the same great video.
Yes, the stubble will receive a pretty diverse blend of oats, peas, clovers, barley, mung beans, sunflowers, sun hemp, radish, flax, buckwheat....I might be missing something but that's most of it 👍
I've only ever ran that grain cart, I believe it's 12 years old, so I don't know the difference between wheels or tracks. Personally I think the tracks are great and we run them to reduce compaction. It still has the original tracks on them as well 👍
Must have been the wide angle lense on camera making it look shorter than it was. It was all hip high to me and I'm 6'3". Thanks for the advice and thank you for watching!
Wow the video is great, I love the CLAAS machines there is nothing better !!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Just in awe of your attention to details. Great video and sweet operation. Well done
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
that was a good size buck!
Nice work Drew!
Thank you, Jim!

How did you enjoy growing Canola
It was quite fun trying something new. It's kind of a dirty crop it seems buy I think we'll try it again if it works out for next year.

Just realized I forgot the second part of your question. After the cover it will be planted to corn.
Great video, just foud your channel, how to you like the tracks on the cart? I've heard they pull really hard

I just ran across your channel and really like it. How big of a job is it converting the claas to do the small grains?
Thanks, I appreciate it! It's not that big of a job at all.
Is there a double crop option for your latitude?
If you don't, those fields look like they'd be waterfowl mecca's.
Some guys do around here but not to many. After wheat we plant a multispecies cover crop on the stubble. And yes, we get quite a few geese.
Hey it is great channel! God job! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 how many acres do you farm?
Thank you! Cool to see so many watching in Germany! We are farm about 5000 acres.
Do you have a market for the canola, or does that go into cover crop seed?
Yes, the Canola got shipped to ADM in Windsor, Ontario to get crushed for oil.
Did McManus haul that for you?
@@ThatOliverGuyChris They haul a lot of our stuff but Harwell hauled the canola.
I've wondered about growing canola, but finding a market for it seemed to be the biggest hurdle. Thanks for the info, great video!
Great video, how are you finding the 8600?
The 8600 is an awesome machine. We thought the 750 could chew through wheat but the 8600 ran laps around it!
@@hasenickfarms2288 Haven't really started harvest here in the UK yet but hoping to catch one of the 8000 series going.
The plant is to small, hip upto chest high is better for harvest. The lower end is still green when the pods are ready.

Excuse me i forgot to write:i'm living in germany, i've seen it the european way
