Part farmer, part scientist, part woodsman and hunter, part shepherd and all family man! Life's challenges can weigh heavy if a man let's them but you set a fine example of the right attitude and how to enjoy living. 👍
I like it! Plus one gets to an old enough age where I’m gonna do what makes me happy!😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures and u look happy 😁
Some really nice crops Brother. Interesting to see the difference in the height on it depending on which clover you had planted or where you had thrown the silage.
I agree this world has gotten crazy but we have to keep hope. My Father n Law always says, if you fear that the world will end tomorrow, and you have a seed, plant it.
You folks have a good day.
Great saying! I really think we need to stay focused!
This for this video, it made me smile. Was researching clover or my yard and came upon your wonderful video. I hope your corn grows 20 ft tall!
Glad you enjoyed it! I am going to be showing this corn throughout its life, and also when we make silage with it, so I am very excited!
Thanks so much for the video son👍
I’m honored!
Well obviously crimson is the best winter cover crop for your area so that fixes that. Im glad to hear your propogating your own seed, thats smart, and im glad you've twigged on to turning biomass into the soil to replenish it instead of stuffing a quick fix load of chemicals at the ground. We do have to use selenium and boron here because our soils are completely difficent in those minerals. I wouldn't worry too much about someone pushing the end of the world button though. You aren't getting out of planting and farming that easily 😂
I don’t want out😂😂😂. I have grave concerns about the future of my country and the world in general…….. but I don’t spend my time worrying about what I can’t change. I’m a born again believer in Jesus Christ and the scriptures predict everything that is happening now, so I can can be confident that I’m in God’s hands.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures tell you a story ... Hey I'm a writer, it's my jam. This actually happened. when I was thirteen we had a television program come on, hosted by the TV one news casters, back when we only had two television channels and back before mokumentarys, fake documentaries were a thing, in fact it was probably the first one. So it was played like this is breaking news, the United States and the Soviet Union are at war and because there was a American warship in harbour at Wellington, which there actually was because they'd been anti nuclear demonstrations in the news because of it, Wellington had just been nuked, which must have been oddly confusing for people in Wellington 😆 but the rest of the country thought it was for real. 3 million people thought we were at war with the Soviet Union and they'd nuked us, because of an American ship. After ten minutes they made the announcement that it was a fictional scenario but I don't think there wasn't a single person glued to the TV that night, and the fear that it created was the biggest reason that New Zealand declared a nuclear free policy the following year banning any nuclear technology from entering our 200 km economic exclusion zone. Fear can be a powerful and terrible motivator but God tells us through the Apostle Paul that he hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. If you tell a bunch of people thanks to Darwin and co, they're descended from a bunch of monkeys, you shouldn't be all that surprised when they start acting like it but that doesn't mean we should capitulate to fear of what's happening in the world right now because no matter what idiots do, Jesus is Lord. Jesus gives us certainly in uncertain times.
That is absolutely true! It gives us a peace that passes understanding and courage to go forward with boldness!!! Thank you so much for that comment!
Your corn is progressing right along great info thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida
You bet! Have a great day, Ken!
Australia does it again!! 🥳😜
Good morning mate good job. My connection is on the ol Man mode like myself.🙄😂🤣🤣😂
Give me a big kangaroo howdy from down under!!!!!😂😂😂
Corn looks great I really believe your methods is working thank you
You are so welcome!
That is awesome! Good to see it’s doing so well! Definitely impressive!
Thanks brother! I’m so extremely happy with the results of this project! Who ever heard of growing corn multiple years with no fertilizer!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures shoot, or growing it one year without fertilizing 😂
Durana clover will last thru the heat of the summer better. Might be worth trying where you planted soybeans.
Thank you so much! Looks like it yields 50 to 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre! Much better than soy beans!
The cows will love those soybeans
Looks great brother. Going to cover this year with the crimson. All my corn is already harvested but am currently experimenting with a double row 7"apart 100' long. Heavy fertilized rabbit poo and chicken compost at the very beginning. Side dressed twice since and this corn is kicking hard. I've only watered once at the beginning. It made through our 2 week dry spell with only 2 rains thus far. Standing at about 7' and it is a sweet corn. Really cool to see. Appreciate ya enjoyed the video take care loving the clover idea
It’s so much fun to experiment with different ways to get er done!!
Beautiful job in McGie!
Thank you so much!
Here's a thought for you, I was speaking with a friend about your channel and using clover as a fertilizer he said that vetch does an amazing job too as a cover crop to be disced in
I have grown it with great success! It produces about the same amount of nitrogen as Crimson Clover!
The corn is looking great this year...good job Mcgie!...I hope you and your family are well….😎🙋🏻♀️
Aahhhhh😱 It is you! Good to see you are still alive and kicking!!!😂🤪
@@McGieHomesteadAdventuresYou make me laugh 😂.I work a lot, I don't have time for the joys of my life and not even for the important works.... 😏I'm always busy 🙃But...but with my heart there...away.😊With my friends!You are not allowed to be upset because you are my friend forever !!!!♾️🤪😁🙃😜
I’m definitely not upset….. but happy!😃😃😃
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Thank you for being my true friend ...😊♾️🤪😎
Always and forever!!!
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video - Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Seeing is believing and the proof is there. I really like the corn and beans together.
Me too!!! I believe that by following the beans with clover, the resulting corn next year will be off the charts!
Great video brother. Hopefully this year I'll get the clover down. I never got to it last year.
It’s something that can be done all fall almost all winter! No real cutoff point!
I plant crimson clover like McGie.
I’m gonna say that your results will get better and better every year just like mine! It seems to have a compounding effect!
I’ve noticed that too. Field where I’ve had crimson clover in two consecutive years is especially lush. You can really tell the difference. Couldn’t get non-gmo soybeans or forage soybeans. So my wheat and barley fields Im experimenting by planting Sunn hemp. I’m gonna turn that in the end of August and come back with the crimson clover. That should put me in a good place for corn next year. Also have a small field that I planted red clover and orchard grass. I’ve hayed it twice and I’m going to let my goat herd on it about the first of September, then turn it in and come back with crimson clover. Hoping to see good results with that field too next Spring; God willing of course.
I’m really excited for you! The groundwork is laid for success!!!
Great work, your crop looks excellent and praise the Lord for abundant rain this season.
This is my first year with forage sorghum and ive invented a really complex system i call mow and throw to feed my pigs. Basically ya take a bagger push mower, cut out a row and dump it in the pig pen. They go after it like sweet feed. And the sorghum grows right back over and over like lawn. Im amazed.
Anyways ive never been impressed with red clover either until i found some wild in the sorghum patch and it was up to my pockets, tallest i ever saw. So thats for next summer. Sorghum, red clover and red ripper cow pea. The goats, deer and pigs all love that sugar in the sorghum. And if you REALLY wanna put a thick weed mat down to plant into for fall, you wont find more biomass than doghair dense sorghum. A 16x20 square was about 70lbs and it wasnt even full grown yet.
Ps- do you ever soil sample? The cumberland co-op has a $20 caddilac option on their test that has been magical to me. I had no idea all my dirt is high PH, low in magnesium and sulfur but extremely high calcium.. so if i just lime it im making the ca/mg ratio worse. Epsom salt was the answer for both my issues.. magnesium sulfate. Id have never guessed.
I have not had soil samples taken, but I really need to do that! It would actually be a great addition to my clover videos!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
Indeed it would.. i had to do a lot of research to even sort out what all the data means and then had to make a vid for myself so i would remember the info in the years to come when trying to quantify changes.

Thanks so much! I’m butchering today so I’ll watch it when I’ve got some time!
Okay, I'm convinced, I'll be going to the feed store next week for some crimson clover. Good looking corn.
You don’t want to plant it until September……. It’s getting closer than I want to admit though!😂😂😂
This was a great follow-up video showing the progression of your corn vs. how it grew with the crimson clover, red clover and silage piles. Thank you. Its good to see the fruits of your labor.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good!
Thanks! I’m really excited about it!
The results are in for crimson clover,and its looking fabulous 🎉🎉🎉😊.
Yes! Thank you! Absolutely amazing results!
Hey Miach I challenge you to plant a plot of vetch as a cover crop thus winter. It works really well with corn.
I’ve actually done it back when I was farming with mules and horses! I loved it! Mixed with wheat!
Good looking corn brother Im going to try some of the crimson hopefully this fall..If there is a next year for us I think we are going to need bigger gardens to help with the food prices
You’re exactly right! Big if!
Oh man, I hope the aliens arent in search of corn... 😂 How soon before deer season do you take the halters off them? 🤔 😂😂
I’ll probably turn them loose about the end of October……… but I didn’t know there was a season for aliens!😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures oh yea, there is now... 😂 Make sure you record that clean, cook and taste video. Might make Franks teeth glow green 💚 🤣
Oh my goodness yes! That’ll be one for the books! He already thinks he glows!😂😂😂😇😇😇
Looks like your experiment is paying off in spades, great looking crops after the crimson. I may have missed but what is the cost per acre for crimson seed vs the standard fertilizer application(s)? I know the deer/turkey attract properties of clover add additional value, but I think you can show a great cost savings based on your emergency nitrogen application you had to do last year vs your incredible corn crop over clover this year. Your crop is incredible this year.
That’s absolutely true! It’s basically 240$ vs 550$ ……… and the 240$ (clover) has much more beneficial properties than just the nitrogen! There’s a lot of other things like humus etc!
Nice job, corn and clover is looking awesome.
Thanks! I’m excited about it!
I really enjoyed the video ! The corn and beans are looking awesome ! My cover crop between my corn is so freaking thick there are going to be all kinds of biomass . I don't know why but my last few comments are getting removed for some reason and I had some good comments . Could you tell the difference between the seeds I gave you growing ? Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
I have no idea what is happening with your comments! Oh yes I will! I can’t wait to see it myself!!!
Beautiful crops Micah. Good job.
Thanks! I’m very excited about it!
After watching your videos I started doing these practices a couple years ago and from what I’ve noticed so far the old verities of corn seem to do very well but I planted some hybrid sweet corn and still had to add fertilizer. Another thing is some of my fields are so poor from being over farmed for many many years that it wouldn’t even grow clover without heavily fertilizing them. I’m hoping to get them built back up one day. I think this fall I’m going to plant rye just so I can add a ton of biomass because there’s hardly no organic material in some of my soils
It can definitely be challenging! But I’m confident that you will get it done!
How did you do that Micah McGie, that camera trick walking off into those corns like that, looking like the hole you walked into is flat ground, making that corn be so tall to claim you are so tall too LOL! Didnt you just very recently broadcast in those beans too? Quick germination and development to close off weed pressure shortly. Do your tillage tool bars have that gps stuff on them so you could set crops a section off to the side next season? I wonder if Caleb could find some crop stubble after deer season, stick the stubble into the bean plot, would that confuse the planter? lol Nice looking range of corn growth and an interesting diversity of nutrient products included. Looking forward to the McGie Reveal on the ears that come from Aaric's seed corn. Before you know it you will be making that daily climb into your deer box! What a way to begin a Great Day! -Bob...
That a trick that even I can’t figure out! Seems as though there’s a bit of craft going on!😂😂😂
Oh you can’t fool the gps system I use!!! 🧠 😝
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I have noticed at times you have some almost supernatural camera skills... like painting a Tennessee Rainbow across a background, fixing up a young man with a squeeky hay fork bearing, arriving at a conclusion that blue bell dr pepper flavored ice cream helps distract attention away from a yellow jacket sting... and coming up with such an outstanding gpa system!!
One is not simply raised with six sisters, without having such wonderful side effects!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures OMG! Are you just now hinting at being the originator of rainbow brite?? lol
Nope! But if you go out at night when nature calls, and try to shoot the moon….. it really looks similar!😂😂😂
Hey pawpaw trade u some corn seed for some East Texas honey good looking corn.
I’m hoping to get a good crop! We’ll see if there’s anything to trade with this fall!
Using the fish on the outside row is kinda not a fare comparison because the outside row never does as well
I’ve heard that but I’ve got two other fields that have the outside row that is amazing!
How much is a 50 lb bag of crimson clover? I can’t find it in 50lb bags and the deer plot bags are 5 lbs for $20.
We get it in 50# bags here for 85-95 dollars……. If you can’t find it locally you can probably find it online. I bought a 50 # bag of berseem clover from Albert Lee. alseed.com/product/crimson-clover/
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Thanks. I turned over some new ground last year that was cow pasture for decades and grew the best corn ever. No fertilizer. I’d like to keep it that way.
You’re on the right track! I can’t recommend crimson clover enough!
Slightly crazy ????????????????
😂😂😂
I don't think that was a fair test with the fish. End rows of corn never do as well as rows further into the field
That may be true…… and if so, the clover is even more remarkable!
