- I’ve farmed & planted for 25 years now. I’ve done every type of tillage method known to man. There are reasons folks till & there’s reasons some folks give up on no till. Done correctly - you won’t give up on no till. Folks that give up almost always due to MISTAKES! The benefits to no till vastly outweigh the downsides or obstacles. no till is an art or skill like any other. Just like tillage - it takes time to understand your order, timing & obstacles in different planting conditions. There’s solutions to all of them. Take the time to learn it!! Our top soil is 50% less in 100 years. We are destroying our soil structure. Our soils can’t handle droughts. No till: keeps that soil moist. Doesn’t stir up the billions of weed seeds. Keeps the soil cooler & mulched. Often builds organic matter. Takes far less machinery, time, fuel & passes on a field. Improves the hard pan issues many fields face. On & on. The benefits are VAST. There’s benefits to tillage but the downsides are also VAST. Like anything great: it takes a bit of time to dial it in & figure it out. It’s not that complex & once you get it right- you likely will not go back. I’ll post more depth on no till in coming videos.

Great informative video Skip. The dream farm definitely includes a no till drill one day! In the mean time doing the best I can with the same blends you've mentioned many times.
Very good video. I've been using a very similar blend. I add a little sorghum for structure and a little dwarf essex rape/tillage radish.
Excellent information thank you so much
Excellent vid. You know some kinda chain lube that doesn't attract dust? Or...put some lube on there they looked clean like new. Or.. you maintain that thing to like aviation standards. 👌🤠
Might try a wax based chain lube. Might not work but worth a shot. I use JD brand chain lube & its pretty good.
What do you think of Esch no till drills? Namely, there 12’ model that folds for road transport.
That’s one I have to admit I have not run. If it’s super heavy built - worth a shot. Being in farming as long as I have- it’s wild to see a few companies make implements cheap, light & not long lasting. GP is built like a tank. If Esch is- I’d give em a look. 👍
I love your
Videos i just have one question when you plant in the fall with a no till drill do you terminate chemically your clover field or you plant right on top of the clover i will appreciate your answer
There’s my dirty secret …. All my clover fields - I run drill with the blend in it right through clover. I don’t kill it. It keeps the clover there then adds a ton more variety to it. If it’s lush clover - I might leave more clover out. It also improves soil drilling into clover too. But no- I don’t kill clover. It works amazing!!! Does NOT work with brassicas but it works great with rye, oats, peas, etc. 👍
@@Iowa_Whitetail thank you for the info I was worried about it because I did oats rye winter peas no till with a drill thank you i appreciate it
