Planting Corn into a Cover Crop of Clover in Wisconsin

Planting Corn into a Cover Crop of Clover in Wisconsin
In this video I am out in a field of clover bear Benton Wisconsin as this farm is no till planting corn. In the video they are running their Deutz Fahr 6215 TTV Tractor pulling a12 row Kinze 5900 True Speed Planter.

No dust erosion, that soil is protected. Armored up to stay in place against heavy rains or strong wind...good work!

[@ScottPykare]

That 12row is perfect size for those smaller wedged fields. He's moving right along. Thanks Mike 👍🏻.

[@maddigger0074]

The clover is a good nitrogen fixer for the corn. Awesome video. Keep them coming Mike...

[@LetThemGrow]

Yeah wondering why burn it down?

[@maddigger0074]

@@LetThemGrow so it will not compete with the corn for water and nutrients..

[@DeutzFarmer96]

Great video! love seeing Deutz tractors working the fields.

[@stevenrud6593]

Would be fun to come back to this field later an see the results.

[@LaHaSi4208]

A beautiful combination of German Deutz tractor and American Kinze Planter.... 🧐🤔☺️👍👏

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Great video Mike. We finished planting this past Monday.

[@jimholbay5148]

Great video Mike! I love watching your videos 👍👍

[@joelg8004]

Always so satisfying watching these videos! Great work!

[@christianhollauer881]

I'd like to see this corn field after 6 weeks.

[@chadshafer8095]

I really like the Deutz & Kinze combo.

[@bobtuckosh9870]

Thanks again for another great video.

Planting corn with a green tractor in a green field😄👍 nice video Mike👍👍

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

I think I would have opted to cut and bale the clover first and then planted corn but he probably has a reason for doing it this way and its his field and his business. LOL Thanks Mike !

[@chrisjohnson4666]

Probably doesnt have a use for it about the only use would be silage cover it a pita to dry in July let alone Wisconsin in May...

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

@@chrisjohnson4666 He could sell it, i've seen farmers that bale clover hay, similar to alfalfa.

[@chrisjohnson4666]

@Bowhunters6go8xz6x most farmers are in a rush during planting season trying to beat the rain... There's a point it's more trouble than. It's worth to mow it and other farmers in the area are probably in the same boat... that organic matter will be wonderful for the soil...

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

@@chrisjohnson4666 I grew up on a dairy farm and we grew a lot of our own feed for our cows. and that did cross my mind, as I said to Mike they probably had their reasons. On our farm we would have baled it for winter hay and we are just guessing why they didn't.

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Great video

[@johnfurnival4133]

The keyboard warriors always have an opinion and they are never wrong, whatever the farmer find works best for them. Nice to see different ways of doing things. Good video Mike

Whatching from Brasil 😊

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@JimBirch-ps2qx]

Cool video in my state

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲🚜🚜🚜

[@eatingamandarin]

Good drone camera footage. What was the thinking behind buying a Kinze ?

[@billbooth4147]

Nice,looks like he would have plowed under the cover crop and incorporated it it into the soil build up organic material,bahaha. Nice video

[@tsclly2377]

I would have taken the clover for balage first. and can mechanical means be used to disturb the clover so as to do an 'Organic' crop (instead of the chemical knock-down), like for a silage crop?

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Mike, you have to get a bad comment, so the green of the tractor clashes with the blue of the planter! LOL

[@markreetz1001]

Great video Mike. Is the farmer going to do anything with the green cover? Should have decent nitrogen there!

[@404nitro]

Mike, can you get rear duals on any of Deutz's tractors?

[@farmhandmike]

Yes

[@samthalberg8293]

What type of clover is that and when was it seeded? And what chemical will be used to kill it?

[@jakeguli5538]

I think you need to elaborate on "burning off the clover". Does that mean spraying it off to kill it or what?

[@aidencrawford3487]

They will spray it with a chemical, called "burn down" in this application

[@TractorChamp.]

❤.

[@yusra12]

hello there do you know where i can get a rid on small sweet corn harvester thanks

[@bobnistler]

😎😎

[@samb7652]

Har har....my beef would be...why not bale the clover first?

[@farmhandmike]

I'm sure it's got some benefits going back into the ground.

[@chadgleason7773]

You said it mike cant make them all happy. I know that farm personally, just down the road from me It's a farm that will greatly benefit from extra organic matter. There were many different species of cover crops planted after combining oats last summer just for that purpose and a longer cover crop growing season. But everyone else know better usally.

[@samb7652]

​@@chadgleason7773I guess the joke failed... but thanks for your feedback... happy trails...as a rancher... anything that green belongs in a cow .. lol.
