Planting next year’s corn fertilizer! Crimson clover!

[@HighVerbal]

Mah main man Micah McGie out there in the clear-as-a-bell Autumn fields , balancing using technology (tractor plowing) and human connection to the Earth (hand-seeding the fields) and working hard into the looong Shadows of the Day

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I should do that every day! I’d be in good shape!

[@Keith_Hatter]

Crimson clover over and over 😂 💥

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂😂 That’s my plan!😂😂😂

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

You are sure getting it done my Friend! A workaholic! Hope you get a good crop of it once again so you can grow some more corn. Best wishes to you.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

As you know, you’ve got to get it done while to gettins good! There will be time to rest later!😂😂😂

[@Martha-vx8bj]

Growing up we lived in an old wood framed house. When my dad or bro would disk our big field garden and small orange grove the window sills were full of dirt. Some how that flying dirt would come though every crack. Mom and I would also have to make sure to bring in the wash off the line.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow! That’s reminiscent of the dust bowl days!

[@jackkeeble9272]

Nice my friend thanks for the video son👍

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thank you too

[@jonathanmosteller9123]

Got my clover planted today. Put it in my cornfield. Took your advice. Hope it works out.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’ll definitely improve the soil. Might take a couple years to get the same results I get, but it’s gonna happen!

[@stevehoover16]

If 24 is going to be bad we better save our corn cobs😂😂🤣🤣

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You’re not wrong!😂

[@Martha-vx8bj]

Ouch!

[@JimmyOverstreet]

Boy oh boy them deer gonna love that!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Yes, they will! And I’m going to love them, deer!🦌

[@MrOtis1956]

Yeehaw. More fun than a barrel of silage!!!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow Mr. Otis! You are first on the scene!

[@joecruggle7638]

Love your videos. Clover for the win !! Absolutely.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Over the years, crimson clover has proven itself, time, and time again!

[@mattwheaton7621]

Good morning Sir, 🤟🏻🇨🇦👍🏻

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Morning!

[@AaricHale]

I really enjoyed the video ! The cultivators did a good job of hilling up around the corn . You can just save your cobs for TP that you grew with your Crimson clover lol . I need to get some cover crop seed here soon planted but I have been waiting on a frost to kill what I have growing . The cover crop I planted between my corn I'm just leaving the cool season crops are starting to kick in like the tillage radish . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’ll bet it looks good in between the rows where the tillage radishes are coming up strong!

[@fldays6798]

Nicely done great info thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Thanks, will do Ken!

[@flintdavis2]

Should have played the song while spreading seed, Joan Jet, yeah... na na na na na na... crimson and clover... over and over..

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelfultz4256]

Just one question I never see your sons using the tractor. But it's awesome what you are doing with your family.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh they definitely use it. On this day they were working on a project of their own.

[@atlantaswelder]

I decided to do fall potatoes, my goal here down south is that i could harvest mid December. The spuds will be much smaller but hopefully they'll be perfect for seed when we drop them in the ground Valentines 💘 day (55° ground temp).

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I believe you are on the right track bro! Lay it on it!

[@elevatorman7750]

Great video brother. Also if there's a shortage of TP again you have corn cobs for backup. 😂😂😂

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

That’s very true he he he

[@EthanPDobbins]

Im doing crimson clover now because of your videos. Tried brown mustard + oats this year before i got my clover seed shipped in and its grown great and out competed the fall weeds. That brown mustard is something id recommend to incorporate in with it if you can get it in early because It kills weeds and wire worms among other pests. I might consider daikon tillage radish too for OM and deep tillage cover that'll bring up deep nutrients. But your mustard you'd want to do more like 15-25lb an acre so it doesn't overshoot the clover. Though it'll die back at frost. I got some daikon and more mustard but i think all ive got time left to plant is the clover though so I may have to get to mixing stuff more next year instead.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’s very enjoyable in my opinion! All you have to do is throw it out there and let it do it’s thing!

[@philnorris3507]

Sage advice proven by experience. 🤔 If I had a farm I'd follow your advice.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Still you should get stocked up on non-perishable food items.

[@beeamerica5024]

You forgot to mention you can use corn cobs as toilet paper 😂😅😊

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Maybe I should make a how to video!😳😳😳

[@ronaldwatterly7747]

We gotta find you a seed drill!😊

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I need the exercise!

[@ChuckisOutside]

Quote of the day, “Plant Crimson clover. It’s the future of cornbread.” I can’t argue with that. I planted 200 lbs last year. I was wondering if it would come up. It came up the quickest where I disk and cultipacked. Later it came up good where I just broadcasted on top of the ground. It was beautiful. Thank you for the video and the advice about planting crimson clover.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’s an absolutely amazing crop in every way!

[@zodszoo]

I have what i call a Mini-micro chicken farm. It's tiny, lol. I've planted some red clover and rye (alternating years, never together) in the past. Watching your videos has convinced me to try some of the crimson clover variety. And i like the idea of putting some wheat or oats with it. Never tried that before. Thanks for sharing with us all! 🖖✌️

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You’ll absolutely love it! It’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen!

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Great video, great info. I would love to plant a couple acres of Crimson Clover before I plant my corn next year, but, I have to clear the acreage before I can plant the corn, wheat doesn’t do well here in SW Louisiana. I will plant my 4ea 50’ of sweet corn though.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Sounds great! I’d go for it!

[@melissawieler8988]

Is crimson clever the crop cover you planted back in our Amish days? I remember that being such a luscious clover.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I think so!

[@byscarman]

good man

[@brycekirby1567]

I imagine you eat some of the squirrels

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

You’re not wrong!😂

[@duncand5148]

You missed a spot. 😂😂😂

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂 I wouldn’t doubt that!😂

[@shannons1301]

I figure if farmall fanatic trys crimson clover, he probably going to change his channel name to crimson clover fanatic and farmall 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

😂😂😂 he’s all about red power!!! Why not add crimson power to the team!😂😂😂

[@shannons1301]

​@McGieHomesteadAdventures yep that's red 2 😂😂😂

[@iowaoutdoorfamily]

Woo hoo 7th!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I called this yesterday!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnberndsen5614]

need a little weight on that disc.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I had concrete blocks on it but the constant jarring busted them

[@DuaneT64]

Where are you getting your crimson clover? Everywhere i have looked it's priced outrageous.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

All the feed stores in my area carry it. It’s pretty much 2$ per pound this year.
