I've seen discussion on corn being planted using 60" rows or a combination of 30" and 60" rows, all in combination with cover crops. This is completely new to me. What I've seen discussed is happening in Iowa and Minnesota, but reports suggest intense row spacing, basically double the standard seeds per acre with only a minor harvested decrease in total bu/acre. I believe they encourage North/South rows to maximize the daily sun exposure. Are you familiar with this practice and have you seen any of it in NW Indiana?
I certainly do believe in the North/South rows concept to better maximize daily sunlight exposure for increased photosynthesis activity. Though we plant all of our fields in the most suitable direction for our operation based on efficiency of harvest for loading trucks and also most efficient passes through the field throughout the year.
I think we haven't seen the top yet. Though the biggest threat the market has is whether China backs Russia and the US imposes scantions on China then the market will dip south. RFS waivers will also have a negative impact on the market but SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) will definitely help out Ethanol and soy diesel, both positives for corn and beans.
Ukraine has actually temporarily banned exports as did Argentina. Russia is also in talks of doing the same. That being said things are going to be very interesting for 2022 and 2023.
We're maintaining rates on most of our applications. Only fertilizer we are trimming is our DAP/MAP due to our high phosphate levels in our soils and trimming our liquid sidedress down a touch as we have been pretty generous the past few years and feel there is room to trim that back a little to be more efficient with our nitrogen during sidedress.
Keith, good to see you back on here. Take care.
thanks for another great video, so good to have you back!!!!!!!!!!!
There he is, glad you're back!
Great video
Keep on posting!
Will do!👍🏼

Bro you just scared the crap out of me. I thought 2022 when I saw the thumbnail. What you dropping for pop on the 7.5's?
Playing catchup on 2021 videos and dropping 165-170k
@@WernerAg copy that bro. Love the channel good luck this spring. You pick up any farms?
BTW why drill beans on an angle. 3 drill row units fit perfectly inside the 30inch corn stalk residue..
Drilling on an angle prevents a few row units from not riding directly on a row and also provides better placements and residue management.
@@WernerAg crank that down pressure up and send it 😉🇺🇲
Only full sends here at Werner Ag 😏🤙🏼
what are your thoughts on the grain markets this summer with all the turmoil going on?

@@WernerAg i agree i think we may be on the verge of empty grocery stores, if ukraine does not harvest a crop kinda scary!!!!!!!!!

Will you cut back on corn acres in 22 due to fertilizer costs and availability?
