    Good morning! What species are many of you using for interseeding into corn? Looking for something economical for grazing after harvest and chopping. I’ve looked at forage beans for the chopping acres but just seeing what’s out there working.

    • I fly on cereal rye in late August. May be small impact for grazing in fall, but the potential is in spring. Gives flexibility to graze before pastures are ready. We use it more for planting beans into the growing rye, which eliminates any erosion during wind events like last week.

      • I I think the Forage peas would work, but It depends on your herbicide program and goals and typical rainfall. If you want it to winterkill, I would say oats after chopping if you chop in early September, you should get great fall growth. Purple top turnips are wonderful grazing in the winter

        We did however get all the crops planted except Sunflowers and at least we’ll have a lot of grass for the cows😊 even planted some corn green into rye

        Lots of windy days this week. Neighbor took prevent plant on quite a few acres last year. No cover crop, just sprayed the weeds. Worked it this spring and the soil is like talcum. Such a contrast to even the other conventional acres around it that at least had a crop last year.

        • That’s unfortunate but such a great reminder of what Not to do. Living roots and minimal disturbance are so beneficial 👍

          Jumping into the wide row game with oats. Twin row 30” so far I started with full rate and dropped rate 10# each pass to find out a desirerable seeding rate. Just playing around with a few acres with no expectations just curious on test weight and other quality differences. Any ifeas or thoughts on what to look for or try?

          • You thinking planting beans between the rows and double croping?

            • Not here I don’t plan to. But we planted a spot like this on ( Taylor Sumption’s (Anthem Oats) field as well and plan to plant soybeans between those rows.

              I’m trying to figure out the ideal planting rate. So if there is a stand that doesn’t look good after emergence I’ll swing in and plant corn on that area

              Hey everyone!

              Just curious if anyone would be able to share some plans or advice on building a compost extractor?

              Would like to be able to extract large batches.

              Thank you in advance.

              Hello Hans, I am on the NE Soil Health Coalition Board. We are looking at options to work with our producers re: soil health benchmarking. Do you think that your MO contact would be interested in completing similar work in NE as they are beginning in SD?

              402.314.1571.

              Thank you,

              Mike

              • Hi Mike,

                I think that he may be interested in doing some benchmark soil collection in Nebraska. I think he may have already collected some samples from there already. I can give you his email address ages.kitchenn@gmail.com. His name is Newell Kitchen. I would just email him and ask if he is looking for some producers farms to sample…
