Guys come on. tilling, ploughing etc is stone age. Cover crop, crimp and drill. Remember the 5 rules of building soil / health ......

Nice to see regenerative Ag making it to the mainstream. In SA they found a plant (i think its called saltbush but dont quote e on that) that the sheep naturally ate to deparasite themselves

the willow leaves and bark also have protein levels that rival lucerne and barley grain. So feeding willow you are feeding them at the same time.

Experimentation is an iterative process. One of the 'non costed benefits' will be the knowledge base built up in this group of farmers in how to conduct trials, what the right questions to ask are and what nature feeds back during the process. If a group of farmers can keep experimenting in a focussed way for a decade, they will have engrained within their farming communities the culture of controlled innovation. In general, the more you innovate, the better ideas you will have about how to continue innovating.

USA has had a crop rotation for years, farmers have run the spectrum from full plow tillage every year, to discing to break up crop waste and straw to compost on the field , others are trying a 3 tier scheme like sunflowers, wheat and clover/vetch mix (I am guessing at the tall crop, corn might fit there too) or based upon what is last to ripen with the "higher crops" ripening first and feeding the lower with nutrients as they decay.

Your questions/comments around 6:30 about weather the field was actually producting more relative to human food crop vs. all the production was very interesting. It brought to mind this thread on X about account systems; Bringing GAAP Down to Earth by @regenerativeresourcesco.7735 & Neal Spackman twitter.com/NealSpackman/status/1742995912639856693 Some of the replies to that thread were also quite interesting and related besides. Great stuff! And, a question, do you find that you trend toward issues with compaction becasue of the heavy equipment?

I have been doing this on my organic farm in Belgium for several years. Although I sow the white clover together with the wheat, it helps to make sure the clover doesn't compete with the wheat. After harvest the clover starts covering the field and I leave it in place until next spring before a spring crop. This adds up to 150 units of N.

Glad to see others that are trying interseeding cereals and clover. It’s not practiced at all in my area so hard to bounce ideas off of. I’ve tried red and berseem but not sure how to proceed the 2nd year. Do you suppress/kill the clover with herbicides or plow them under and start with a fresh planting of cereal and clover? Unsure how to reduce competition the second year of cereals Red suppressed the weeds great, didn’t even use herbicides, but was hard to get rid of. Berseem winterkilled great but didn’t compete enough with the weeds to justify. I was able to chop the berseem 3 times when by itself

@farminidaho1653 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWSQaKWrrMpkhZosi=SdQLe9v6zn25hCIs here is a link to this years harvest, this clover was sown in the autumn mixed with the wheat seed. After the harvest the clover took over ( see end of video) and I was able to mow it 4 to 5 times by the end of september, the idea is to exhaust perennials. As I'm in organic there is no chemical intervention, just tine weeder and rotary harrow. Though in 23 it rained all spring and there was 0 intervention. I have collègues who seed their next crop directly in the clover, I dont have a direct seeder so i have tried ploughing or several Power harrow passes but for spring crops it takes many passes and dries the ground. I'm going to try scalping next spring, cutting the clover in several passes at 3 4 5 cm depth. I believe that direct seeding in clover with no chemical destruction reduces the yield.
@andresamplonius315 8 ай бұрын
@@farminidaho1653 Why not graze the clover before sowing the wheat? Sheep, cows, ducks, chickens, whatever... Try some radish seeds when you sow the clover, for added diversity. They found it increased production when radish seed got sown with the wheat.
@peterclark6290 Жыл бұрын
You need to take the step up the Regenerative Agriculture. a. Weeds can flourish in early transition soil. Building/stabilising the soil's bacterial/fungal presence deals with that problem. Use compost sprays (Drs. Johnson-Su, Ingham, etc.) b. Companion planting is not an experiment, it's what Nature does. In between cash crops sew other species for specific reasons, future forage, compaction break up, etc. Farming is primarily ALL about the soil's life, making it dynamic, busy, self-problem-solving. It needs a permanent cover (humus/armour) so you never see it again.

erm, I live in Arizona. Different mechanics, but it's still a built environment. I bathe more efficiently so I can use more water for trees. The trees lead to birds, and it's easier living in a city with birds. Phoenix has so many. Winter birds, summer birds, and year round birds. Plus blow-ins, far from the core of their range. We have done a terrible job with our pastures out here, leading to some erosion issues in all the desert west. cheers, you lovely people, from across the pond, and the Mississippi.

in the US they use Daikon radishes as a nitrogen store, it soaks up excess nitrogen - it then dies and slowly releases nitrogen - maybe a combination of both clover and daikon radish might work here too... it also has deep tap root allowing deep penetration into the soil

@Ifarmers 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. We were working with what the farmers had available and needed to keep it simple and consistent for the trial. All farms used conventional headers on combines. We did discuss other species other than clover but also looked at different varieties. There isn’t a one size fits all approach to living mulches and so BFT and a stripper header is something that could be looked at.

I've always imagined that a soggy ditch at the bottom of a field could be full of the right plants to absorb the nitrate and fertiliser run off that, if not a crop like cress, could be ploughed back in to the top of the field and reduce fertiliser use.
