I'm not sure whether they use no-till and/or cover crops on this dairy farm. They did not mention that.

Need a large dairy for that to work.

Glyphosat is not harming Earthworms. Tillage harms them a lot! Take a spade and start digging in a No-till crop where weeds are sprayed off before seeding and also dig in a soil that was tilled before seeding! You will see the no-till soil has much more active soil life 🪱

I believe he harvest the corn first. Then he grazes the the cattle on the field sometime after harvest.

I agree!

Thanks for the comment!

Good luck!

To have one less pass over the field in order to save fuel costs, time, and soil compaction.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks!

A new update video on their progress will be coming out soon.

I believe it is a case by case situation. Check with your local NRCS office for more specific information. Thanks for your comment.

Drain tile is regulated. local and state permits are required. More than that, tile improves water quality. Think of soil as a sponge, if its saturated and you pour water on it, it runs off just like saturated soil, it runs off carrying soil and nutrients. Now pour water on a sponge thats been squeezed out, it holds the water just like tiled soil isn't saturated so the water soaks in. Soil is a filter grabbing nutrients and organisms. We have taken samples of water out tile lines many times and had it tested and more often than not its better quality than bottled water. How do you think farmers are killing you? We live where we work, raising our children and families. Do you really think we're poisoning where we live and the food we raise? We care more about the land than anyone. Without it we have nothing, no income, no life. My children are the sixth generation on the same land. It is our most important resource.

@@nathanwesolowski7912 it is not regulated. I’ve tiled for 10 years

@@nathanwesolowski7912 I’ve tiled for 10 years and thanks for giving me the run down on what Introduction to Soils is. Drainage tile is good for monocropping not good for the environment long term. Your water may be clean but your neighbors may not. The water is still going to the sub mains and county lines. That’s why it needs to be more regulated. NH3, the prized possession since the 1940s leeches very easily into drainage tile. Why can’t I use my well anymore for my garden plots and animals? Farm run off from yes tile and ditches. I just wish the gate keeping monocropping farmers would realize they are contributing to our long term demise. Sure you feed the world but at what cost? Southeastern MN contaminated waters should be monocropping farmers red flag that maybe they are part of the problem It’s not regulated to the extent in which is needed. Our lake in our nearest town cannot be swam in, in the peak summer months due to no other thing than drainage tile flowing into creeks then into the lake It doesn’t have to be this way. We can utilize technology we have and old methods of the past to produce enough food to prosper, without harming the environment and us.

@@nathanwesolowski7912 also, why can’t I use my 60foot well anymore and why is southeastern Minnesota’s drinking water from wells completely contaminated? Runoff from farms. Please realize you feed the world and kill it too. This is just the realization I wish the gate keeping farmers would understand

Thanks for your comment. Good luck in your efforts.

Thank you

Wdym decent?

@@Beyonder8335 proper tires which can deflate down to 0.8 bar or less. High and wide with VF Technology or so

@@hardware1824 idk why you don’t see CTIS here, it’s def pretty rare. As for the width though we tend to run narrower stuff since there’s a lot of row crop ground, and make up for the width with duals.

Still don't understand what strip till tilling actually is.

@@MrSeadawg123 , rather than tilling up the entire area of the field, they're tilling a narrow strip while leaving the space between those strips as is. Then when planting, they plant into that narrow strip. Benefits include not disturbing a majority of the soil to not disrupt the ecology there, reduced fuel costs because it's easier on tractor capacity and faster to till less area.

Thanks, glad you found it useful.
