I grew up milking Holsteins on a small farm in MN. I'm back on the farm now, though the dairy was retired and dismantled decades ago. I miss the milk straight from the bulk tank before the milk truck hauled it away. I could dip an Oreo in the milk, and the cookie would come out white! We have a couple Jersey heifers now, recently bred to a Jersey and a Swedish Red. Hoping to somehow take the land back from rented row crop production, and instead graze cattle, goats, and chickens on it. Winters are a challenge, but that's nothing new. Thanks for showing us what's possible. "Keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord."

Proso millet is not noted as being susceptible to ergot contamination. Ergot, primarily caused by fungi in the genus Claviceps, is more commonly associated with crops like rye, wheat, sorghum, and pearl millet.

I find it interesting to observe that most people believe the hypoxia situation is caused by man, but many people dont believe that climate change is also caused by man's activites. IMO, this disparity is due to the active propaganda campaign by oil companies. Do you remember when the tobacco company execs testified in congress that smoking does not cause cancer?

A couple months ago the Alexandre Farm milk showed up at my local Whole Foods store (Chicago). I was intrigued by the product and bought a half gallon, but wasn't sure what A2/A2 milk was, , although I had learned that grass fed dairy cows produce a far superior type of milk from the book, , by Montgomery and Bikle. This podcast showed up in my you tube channel and I have very much enjoyed learning about the Alexandre Family Farm operation..

Dr. Christine Jones’ talk "The Phosphorus Paradox" addresses the common misconception that agricultural soils need continuous phosphorus inputs to support plant growth. She explains that many soils already have significant phosphorus reserves, often enough for over a century, but much of it is bound in forms that plants can't easily absorb. Jones argues that instead of applying more phosphorus, improving soil health through organic matter and soil biology can make existing phosphorus more accessible. This process relies heavily on beneficial microbes like mycorrhizal fungi, which help release phosphorus by interacting with plant roots. The “paradox” lies in how excessive, synthetic phosphorus applications can create dependency and reduce soil biology’s role in mobilizing this nutrient, potentially leading to pollution through runoff into waterways. Jones promotes sustainable practices, such as cover cropping and reducing synthetic inputs, to enhance natural phosphorus availability, benefiting both agriculture and the environment​.

I cant believe you did not mention how great grazing cereal rye works for cattle with the soil benefit of more nitrogen.
@Keith_Berns_GreenCover
@Keith_Berns_GreenCover 2 ай бұрын
Certainly cereal rye is excellent grazing in the early spring for cattle - just be sure and keep it grazed to where the rye does not head out - once it pushes a head out, the cattle do not like it nearly as well - this is where triticale would be better for later grazing, but the rye is very good early grazing. As far as Nitrogen, the rye is very good at scavenging N out of the soil and can be a good habitat for some of the free living N fixers, but it will not produce large amounts of N like a legume such as hairy vetch would

Yes, you certainly can. However, depending on where you are, the winter peas should be planted at least 2 to 3" deep for best winter survival... So I think the cereal rye will still come up from that depth but it would slow it down

They can, I wintered several horses on it last year. Just supplement with a small amount of alfalfa to improve your calcium to phosphorus ratio. It is too phosphorus heavy and can cause bone issues without some extra calcium. In southern climates it really is amazing how much forage you can raise for horses with it

Yes, we have a number of customers doing this - especially as you move south where the winters are not as harsh and the peas do not have to go completely dormant. In these situations, you can add them in with ryegrass, triticale or cereal rye as a really high quality forage for winter grazing

A cereal like rye (will over winter) or oats (will not overwinter) can be planted with the peas... but remember if you are in a colder climate, you need to get the peas planted deep to give them the best chance of overwintering. The further south you are, the more things you can put with the peas when planting in the fall

Winter peas can be planted by themselves or with a winter cereal like rye or triticale or winter wheat. The key to getting a winter pea to overwinter consistently is to plant them deep - 3" is ideal - you need to keep the growing point under the ground to be protected

Yes, if you get the right type of triticale it will survive... but like any crop, it will depend on more than just temps... snow cover, wind, moisture, etc.. all will effect its survival. I would recommend the Forage FX 1001 which was developed in Montana. It is very palatable for all livestock groups.
