Cover crops with a Kinze Planter and SeedRight backer Plates!

It is time to put my whole plan together for next year, starting right now. It is time to plant some Cereal Rye cover crop using the Kinze 3600 and a new to us product, the SeedRight backer plate!
The SeedRight Backer plate gives us the ability to plant a cover crop using the equipment we already have!
I pair it with TerraStar-X subscription for extremly accurate planting and we are off and growing for the 2022 season.

Great landing .Super pilot Ben!!!

[@bartpowers9972]

You are going to be amazed at what it does for the ground it’s like it feeds the dirt as well as holding it inplace

[@stanhensley3082]

Cover crops are one of the best things a farmer can do for the soil!! Try it you'll like it!!! Thanks 😊.

[@Budd56]

Your neighbors,,,,,, "what the hell is that boy doing, he can't plant corn or beans in the fall" 😂😂😂😂👍👍✌️

[@iowANFarmer]

yep!

[@marktalbert2939]

Have a great day. Your videos are great and educational

[@sadiehelton4894]

Keep up the good work on the farm. You need to let Molly plant some stuff on the farm. From Stephen in North Carolina

[@dallasschwartz6131]

Ben, really nice to see the variety of things you incorporate into your farming process and appreciate you taking the time to share with us what you are doing. (Bandit 🤔) “Hoomun I tried to warn you about the landmine Fluffbawl left near the planter but you Shooshed me. So I don’t feel bad about your 🥾 taking a direct hit from said landmine. Now I know you don’t show said attack on your boot but Andrew saw an we got a good laugh 😹 out of it! Lesson for the Hoomun, never Shoosh the Bandit, you’re welcome”. Everyone needs a Blue Heeler...

[@dallasschwartz6131]

Ben I noticed you are approaching 50K subs!! For the momentous occasion might I suggest you do a Bandit cam vid!!! (Ben) “Dallas that’s a great idea! Thx for the suggestion, I will be sure to do just that and even dedicate it to you for your time invested in support of the channel and the way you show how much Bandit means to you!” 😂😂😂😂

[@iowANFarmer]

I found his mount.

[@Dusty47]

Ben- love the way you’re always thinking about trying something new ! You never know till you try. Good job young man !!

[@Dusty47]

Hell, you might even want to bale that cereal rye for hay to sell before planting beans- just sayin

[@w056007568]

Good luck with this, If it germinates it will likely survive and thrive and can really get going in the Spring - do not allow it to get away from you!

[@LeFloop]

If you leave a few acres of it growing you can combine it next summer to use as bin run conver crop seed, though if you're aiming to run it through the planter you'll have to find someone to clean the seed

[@iowANFarmer]

That’s a downsides to planting vs spreading.

[@bartpowers9972]

We have done it this way on 400 to 600 acres for 5 to 6 years it works great very happy with it

[@michaelbok4034]

Wow! Convoy Ohio is where my son farms 🚜 💙

[@iowANFarmer]

There ya go!

[@OneCincyFarmer66]

Huh! Got a buddy that grew up in Ohio City and worked in Convoy Ohio for Mercer Landmark. And your right Ben! Blue planter all the way!

[@Walker6946]

We have a couple kinze planters. Will have to look into those plates. Thanks good video!

[@iowANFarmer]

Worked fantastic!

[@DoubleD.]

Kinze planter seems really easy to use. Loved the drone shots. Nice editing young lady 😍

[@iowANFarmer]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@markfeiling4024]

We use it more for weed control in the spring time.. we plant corn into it green then burn it off with spray within a week. See really good results..

[@jacksprat3287]

1st again from ottawa ontario canada

[@iowafarmhandanf2266]

I think if you hadn't ate so much for breakfast you might have had enough. Lol 😁

[@iowANFarmer]

True

[@detroit6025]

Hey, I’m from convoy Ohio. Never heard of anything being invented in convoy. Don’t know they guys that invented it but still good to know

[@larryhak1232]

I am married to the inventor. We live in convoy. I aam on my husbands phone.

[@iowANFarmer]

There ya go!

[@pauls4460]

You could grow your own rye seed too.

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

I'll be interested to see this go through planting next year and maybe some info through the growing season on weed suppression, etc. Good job. I'm doing warm season field peas here in Texas first time.

[@iowANFarmer]

That what I hope to keep an eye on.

[@noahpedersen5714]

We usually plant around 45LBS/acre on cornstalks and 35 of bean stubble

[@iowANFarmer]

That’s what I’d be looking at too. I need to get there.

[@alexmikhael5061]

coulda swore I watched this already... hummm anyhow I hope if it was a dream I post the cool stuff i should have said... DID YOU GET MORE THAN 2 of those smaller plates ??? it is that one right??? ''they only sent 2... I would have got a whole set...'' that's IN THIS VID right? I mean I have seen stuff I have seen before so eh... ;)

[@alexmikhael5061]

well it's in my notifications for a day ago too ;) sooo ummmm what changed?? :) did you video a UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU fo in the sky and the men in the black'burb'ns come knockin on your door???

[@iowANFarmer]

Had to reuplod

[@kennymysak2079]

Are you just going to use it for cover crop then kill it off are harvest before planting beans. Try Nagel Seeds up in Scotch Grove and see if they have seed they can ship to you just a idea are they might know where to get you some. Keep up the great videos

[@iowANFarmer]

Cover crop

[@farmerj06]

Wait i could've sworn you uploaded this video yesterday. I remember watching it. Did you re-upload or am I crazy?

[@iowANFarmer]

Reupload

[@Cordell-]

I have a small test plot that I planted this fall. I'm experimenting with nitrogen rates for corn, and attempting to fix as much nitrogen with cover crops as I can. I'll be crimping it in the spring

[@iowANFarmer]

Let us know how it goes!

[@sharlettedavidson81]

Oh geez….Yeah….😳 I bet that was bitter…😂🤣😂

[@pinekornerfarms5726]

So you were able to map how you planted your covers, so then in the spring you can not plant on top the rows? Please keep us updated as this is pretty interesting!

[@iowANFarmer]

Will do!

[@stepark3437]

Ben how much of the rye did you eat. In the spring are you going to spray out the rye or crimp it

[@iowANFarmer]

Spray. I don’t have a crimper

[@dayleerickson4554]

I’m just curious in what part of Iowa are you farming? My farm is just North of Jefferson Iowa. I’m retired but I still help out. I really enjoyed your video glad to see the new guys always trying to learn something new. But I keep learning too. I just like to know what’s going on in different parts of the state. I guess with what farming practices are going on where. I was curious where you’re getting your information? You said a number of times that you’ve been told? Who is giving you a few tips. I would like to hear from you or maybe you can post more information online.

[@iowANFarmer]

We are in Appanoose co. I just ask a lot of questions to learn.

[@JeremyStyninger]

Maybe you should grow the rye AND harvest it so you have ample seed to plant.

[@brianutterback6574]

If you put the half rate kit on planter should be able to get lower with 60 cell plates even down to 30 lbs to acre

[@iowANFarmer]

That is the half rate kit. That’s as low as I get.

[@brianutterback6574]

@@iowANFarmer I got a 3600 Kinze like that we used 60 cell plates with backing plate and planted 30lbs to acre would have to look at which sprockets but worked really well I would make sure with beans your close to half the chart might need new beans plates if they wore bad imho agree on blue planters only way to go man enjoy the vids sorry if don’t help ya

[@josephkrafft7006]

Way to commit!😂

[@clubbertruck]

Lol sugar uh yea

[@tkvisserfarms8397]

Can you show how your agleader is all wired in? Putting one in an 8300 and trying figure out how

[@iowANFarmer]

I don't think I have an install video

[@erickbauer8888]

Why not save seed from that crop you just planted when you harvest it?

[@jessenp20162725]

Ben, we have plenty of triticale (a cousin to rye) for sale in Western Nebraska. Do you have any interest?

[@iowANFarmer]

I’ve been told that works, but I want to stay with the same species

[@jessenp20162725]

@@iowANFarmer ok. I’d check with Green Cover, or Milborn Seed if your still looking.

[@georgeegly8354]

Ben do you still use the graphite on the seed for lubricant didn't see it on the seed

[@iowANFarmer]

I didn’t add any.

[@hfff1]

Déjà Vu.

Had to reupload, and there is still an error

[@seanconnolly7576]

Hilarious

[@dustinarnold1812]

Curious as to what sprockets you were running on to get the correct rate?

[@iowANFarmer]

Half rate kit

[@travislloyd9014]

How did this work out?

[@iowANFarmer]

Check out the latest video!

[@farmjet2711]

Have You or anybody you know done 15in wheat with the planter? And if so how does that compare to narrower row wheat?

[@larryhak1232]

Plant 15 inch rows for wheat are common around here.

[@iowANFarmer]

I don’t grow wheat

[@jkmcp45]

Ya ruined it way to much milk I mean way to much milk and then let it sit for a little bit but I’ve heard that real men or real farmers use beer and the extreme farmers use bourbon preferably a good 18 to 20 year old Kentucky I wouldn’t be privy to extreme category cause I’m not a drinker but with beer it’s actually pretty good wouldn’t recommend every mourning cereal rye being a scarce commodity that it is and then ya got the alcohol thing just sayin
