Regenerative Organic No-till Farming

[@CultureTripGuide-HilmarHWerner]

it's great you are showing all the steps, but some explanation of what is happening in each step is absolutely needed! you want to get people on board who do not yet understand everything about regenerative agriculture or even agriculture in general!

[@teunlll]

I don't think you can decide who is his target group

[@hanksfarmvideos]

We have an organic dairy farm here in Wisconsin and I enjoy seeing how you're trying new things. Very neat to see!

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

Thank you very much!

[@65LB]

Onscreen information or the process being shown would really make it worth watching

[@janbroekhuizen5]

Second that, some machines look very specialised and most likely hard to find. Some explaining what they do would be a great help.

[@jordannarlock7995]

i wish there was an explanation of each clip and step

[@Dolesan]

Top shelf farming bro. Gives me hope.

[@frontrangesoil]

You're doing great work here, keep it up.

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

Thanks!

[@jamesvantine3308]

What did you run to make the tall standing weeds die?

[@larrymagill5422]

I have a organic farm in north central Oregon. I have been in a pasture rotation with cattle and horses for the last five years. Need to go into a rotation of a small grain crops with a cover crops. What is the best cover to use before the small grains. We don’t raise soy or corn as there is no local market to sell into. All of the ground is irrigated. Love your videos you are doing what I want to do!!

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

Thanks for the support! You could always grow a small grain like barley wheat rye ryegrass, whatever grows out there that could survive the winter, harvest it in the early summer and then put out a mix to graze cattle on in the summer, then another small grain crop in the fall. You would basically have covers year round then. Indiana is different than Oregon though

[@declanjoyce8640]

Good job!

[@riderofnature5023]

Nice job!

[@victorvillalobos1352]

Hey bud, I have corn and want to plant papaya. How to I change out the corn crop after Garcés without damaging the soil. Thanks

[@marinlorre5207]

Nice shots ! What is the liquid fertilizer tank on the planter used for ?

[@teunlll]

Liquid firillezer

[@martinvidal1946]

5:46 what is the name of that machinery?

[@lsfamer2011]

Love your videos! Realy good! Can you say us how the Corn Yield is? greetings from Germany!

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

Thanks for watching them and enjoying them! This was our first year planting corn into alfalfa, so we are still learning! With that said the yields weren’t amazing, but we did see anywhere from 130-150 in spots. We will hope to see better results next time we do it!

[@mitchellcasey4171]

Can you explain where you get all of your nutrients from for the crops

[@w8stral]

1) He explains in other video's or look up videos by his father in law Rick Clark regenerative Ag 2) Short answer: Cover crops, and soil health since non tilling, no salts added, and no herbicide/fungicide/insecticide which kills all the micro organisms which fix the nutrients for you.

[@NextLevelFarmerDotCom]

Why do you crimp after planting instead of before planting? Who is the manufacturer of your crimper?

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

I&J Manufacturing on the crimper. We like to crimp after because we roll the beans and the cover crop. Rolling the bean at V2 hurts the apical bud, the plant the stacks nodes and branches out instead of just going vertical. Has worked for us.

[@TheJomar1998]

Which machines are following the roller crimper and what do they do? I am from Germany and I never saw something like that. Have a nice new year

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

We have 3 machines that could follow the roller crimper. They are all used for weed management. First is the rowmow, it is used to cut the weeds between the rows. Second is the inrow roller. It is used to roll weeds to terminate them. Third is the weed zapper. It is used to terminate weeds that are above the canopy of the crop. All depends on the situation for which tool is needed.

[@bk-ch7rs]

How did u get along with the new model lexions? any likes or dislikes. Much improvement with new design.. ?

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

We got along great with the new lexions. Lots of like, a few dislikes. I will have a video on this! Huge improvements over the previous 760 we had.

[@lukashilgendag8883]

Great video, what are you doing for your npk fertility management? Do you have any livestock? Thanks

[@darallsnyder8789]

Do you find that a roller will kill alfalfa good enough?

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

No roller will kill it, only set it back just a little. Alfalfa is a tough crop. Good ol molboard plow will do the trick though!

[@thaneschaffer6678]

I have not seen all of your videos so I don’t know for sure but if the few I’ve watched are you a part of Rick Clark’s farming operation? I’ve seen a few of his presentations on not till organic farming and this looks really similar.

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

You would be correct!

[@thaneschaffer6678]

Awesome-I am a young farmer going down the road of regenerative farming on our Illinois farm and Rick is a great inspiration to me. I enjoy the videos and the further insight into you guys operation-keep up the good work!

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

@@thaneschaffer6678 thanks for the support. Glad to see you are going down the road of regenerative farming

[@ViciouslyFish]

Do you have any issues with planting into that thick of cover with the planter? Have you had much issues with germination? We've been no till here in KS since the 90s but haven't done much covers.

[@farmingwithcarp8551]

Great question. We don’t have any issues planting into the thick cover. We have a few things on our planter that help with cutting through it. As far as germination we always see good stands year after year.

[@ViciouslyFish]

@@farmingwithcarp8551 Maybe a video showing planter setup 😉? Or maybe you have one already...

What cover crop do you plant before corn?

[@Adam-bw4lw]

It realy depends what you had beffor,make sure that the carbon-nitrogen ratio is right

This video is pointless. I came here looking to understand no-till equipment. Now I just wasted time looking at a video that added no value at all
