I saw many farmers also amazed with interplanting corn and clover. Savings are crazy, no herbicydes no feetilizer. Bees having good times with clover too.
Dad planted purple hull peas with corn partially to keep deer from eating the corn and partially because it is suppose to provide nitrogen. I was young so I don't know much about it but from what I understood, deer preferred the peas to the corn and the corn with the peas did better. He replaced the corn with Bermuda grass after that.
Native Americans used to plant corn, beans and squash together. The squash was ground cover, the beans climb the corn and fix nitrogen. It's called the 3 sisters.
Masanobu Fukuoka had excellent results growing grain in fields with a kiving mulch of clover. From what i understand one of his students went on to do the same with corn grown in a living mulch of clover. In Georgia as well from what i understand
On a research farm in northwest Georgia, corn is growing tall and healthy without the application of fertilizer. Instead, a "living mulch" of clover is growing beneath the corn, slowly releasing nitrogen to help the corn reach its potential. Mark Wildman explains.
@@locybapsi174it inevitably will just from moving/decomposition. There are some theories that it may do so through mychorizzal networks, but that isn’t studied enough yet.
It'll be cool if they had a corn field right next to the corn+clover, but without clover just for checking if the clover is the main reason the corn is doing well. You need controls.
The guy is a ph d. He obviously knows WAAAY more than you. Had you listened you would have heard that last year in that same area they did not use clover. Try to listen!! Soil is different in different areas. You would have to dig up the soil and replace both plots with exactly the same soil to do it you way…. Which honestly is a pretty stupid idea. So glad you are not in charged of our food source in ANY fashion. Probably kill the entire population of America within the year.
Why not, its a must, this is the future of farming and Corn production.

Cool video 😎
How do you change the soil for a new crop?

Is the clover grazed during the post harvest period?
This was 6 years ago. What was the conclusion?
Where can I buy this?
interesting but how clover can get sun light?
Clover grows well in shade. However I'm suspicious about clover providing nitrogen to corb
