[@noelking7215]

Super cool that you thanked your ancestors, Jeff. They are surely smiling down, knowing all their hard work and sacrifice was worth it. Farm on, brother! Peter your excitement is contagious!! Great content!

[@jimholty2274]

Cant help getting excited about growing wheat after watching this!

[@anasjani3314]

Very good sir from pakistan

[@OpenSourceAgriculture]

I’d like to hear from his crop consultant so I can get the real story

[@outdoordude6940]

Did he plant with fertilizer?

[@Agrovasco]

Cant speak for him but i doubt so. He mentioned three passes which makes me believe they are all post seeding. But he did mention that the second application was liquid which would explain the higher yield. As well as the early sulphur application. That will do you a lot of good. But like he also mentioned, the best way to achieve high yields with cereals is watching them and knowing when they need each application, and the right quantity! Cant feed a baby a steak. And of course rain in the spring, that is everything!

What is the use of limston on wheat farming?

[@RealAgricultureMedia]

Lime is added to adjust the pH of soil to make nutrients more available (when the pH is limiting uptake)

[@rayhuggart5214]

What was the wheat variety ?

[@bradk1295]

He said 25R40

[@dequavisjones4869]

Centeral ks 2022 no rain for 4.5months, and no one can afford fertilizer.

148 bu per acre over how many acres?

[@Forester-qs5mf]

If you are going to be adding expensive inputs such as fertiliser you need to be examining net profit per Ha rather than yield. Yield is not much help if you are going broke in the process. Chasing yield benefits chemical companies and their salespeople, not the farmers. That’s why they always talk yield rather than net profit for the farmer

Explain lodging

[@weshart379]

Lodging is when the wheat falls down in the field.
