Just found the channel, but I am from north eastern Washington state, we are running 300 cow calf pairs, and farm around 2500 acres mostly alfalfa for the cows, but we also grow triticale, that we cut for hay, oats that we cut for hay, oats that we cut for grain, and a Lil bit of wheat. Definetly keeps us busy year round

Something we do to help with field edge encroaching we have all fhe field boundaries mapped on RTK, then the planter always plants in the same spot every year, and the tilliage guys dont have to guess where the boundary is because all the equipment has a guidance line for the headlands.

Hi, we are doing the last fields of tillage and seeding winterwheat and winterpeas for fall. Yields in soybeans were pretty different from field to field. Sunflowers yielded good. Its very impressive how big you can farm as a organic farmer, Greetings from a organic farm in Austria.

Finished organic soybeans on the 10th. 10-11 % yield down 10% from last year because of lack of rain. However, weed control was awesome. I will take it. I will finish organic corn after this rainy weather. I plan to fall chisel plow instead of spring moldboard plow for the next growing year.

Weed control now will definitely pay off in the future for you👍🏼 nothing you can do about the rain… unless you have an irrigator haha

Have you done a video yet on how your profitability and yields compare with standard chemical farming? If your profitability and/or yields are anywhere near, then your techniques should be adopted. I realize that comparisons are difficult mainly due to weather variables. Thanks
@FehrsFarmingOrganic7 ай бұрын
We have not! I think that can all change farm to farm even on the organic side. The yield can also change organic farm to organic farm same as in conventional. We do not believe we see much of a yield drag. Hope that answers your question somewhat haha.

when the smell of the manure is that strong, that likely means you don't use enough biochar. How much biochar do you use per tonne of manure?
@Noah_Fehr7 ай бұрын
We do not use Biochar, another reason we like to till the litter in right after it is spread is to keep that ammonia nitrogen in the ground.
@MusikCassette7 ай бұрын
@@Noah_Fehr I guess than I was right 0 biochar is to little. ^^ Do you know, why it is a good for the soil? And do you know how to make it?

@MusikCassette7 ай бұрын
@@Noah_Fehr you can make biochar from any plant material, be it woodchips or straw or whatever you have. There are different methodes of charing. I would say on the scale that you guys work it is worth picking one where you take use of the access heat. Perhaps not for trying it out. But when you scale it up, that is a lot of energy that otherwise would be wasted. It is important, that the material is fully chared. otherwise there might be aromates in it, that you don't wont to have in the soil. Charcoal that you can buy for the grill for example often is not quite done. The biochar itself is not nutrient, but it has the ability to bind nutrients and release them little by little. It also increases the ability of the soil to hold water. And it is a good habitat for the microbiom. Basiclaly think of it battery for nutrients and water and a house for bacteria. Because it binds nutrients it is kind of important to mix it with nutrients before putting it on the field. Mixing it in with the manure is one option. That should also avoid at least some of the ammonia loss. An lets be honest it is also just a bit nicer to work with when the smell is not quite so bad.^^ Some people also use biochar in their chicken coop to improve their quality of live for their livestock.

What's the amount of chicken manure you guys are applying per acre? If there's no chicken farm nearby that's gotta be extra expensive. Also, what's the nitrogen % of it, and what % is available?
@FehrsFarmingOrganic7 ай бұрын
We are in an area with a few different chicken farms, it is still expensive but definitely worth it if you can get it! Around 4 ton but depends on field and what crop it is going to be the next year. Example would be that ground going soybeans get nothing. Nitrogen can change on the litter as well, anywhere from 40-80 pounds per ton, roughly half is available the first year I believe, might need to be fact checked there haha.

@3069mark dude why does it matter how many acres they run? I and I'm sure others don't care, why I follow these guys or the other farming operations I follow around the country and Canada is because of the difference in farming operations and how they may farm different from my operation and how I might learn something. They may have a different way of doing something that may benefit me every farmer farms different what works for them may or may not work for me. So I could care less if they farm a 100 acres or 100000 it's how they operate and make it work. So don't worry about how many acres they farm just enjoy the videos like I do.
