What creates "overyielding" How can you raise nearly full yields on 38% of the acre? The footprint creates the venue for "over reach" If you give each plant more CO2, water, and light ... it'll respond with more grain per seed planted. Everyone sees "waste" of 1 instead of

You all... and industry will think it's nuts but perpetual corn production looks better and better the lower the price of soybeans ... and the higher the costs of NPK The edge + 21 months of cover crop to grow a large % of N and biologically unlock soil fertility. Also summer

Combines finishing the harvest with sunflowers in the background. Of all the crops we grow, I find sunflowers one of the hardest to articulate the overall benefits of, beyond the gross margin. Able to sit and wait to a point at harvest, very little spraying, flexible planting

Getting our relay planter set up today for a Wednesday and Thursday run ahead of the next rain delay. I was looking for a photo for Frederik V. Larsen and ran across these Relay beans from 2019 and 2020

Function of our 12 row soybean relay planter. The middle row is just along for the ride and is somewhat lifted for this operation.

Experiment to show the ability of plant roots to push into compacted soil. Top half of cylinder have a BD of 1.2 g cm3 and lower half 1.4 g cm3 left buckwheat right black oat

Herbicide legacies showing up in this year's canola, from last April's trial site. What's interesting is that the light colour in the surrounding crop is Bidens pilosa - seeded out in Sept 2024's off-season lupins. I suspect that some of the Group B's are responsible for the

Narrow alley crop corn 4 rows of 20" corn (60") Corn should get 10' tall creating a leveraged photosynthetic venue Plays... grazing Zamboni... green chop in season while applying manure... could be autonomous Faster harvest... yes you get to skip over each pass And Dare I

At its core for me.... Relay cropping is a mechanism to at 1st dry the soil to plant, warm it up, and then preserve moisture and keep the soil cooler when it gets hot. Quicker canopy keeps weeds out... so all my moisture and fertility goes towards value instead of weeds

Going back to April Wide wheat is a cheat to warm the ground up... especially 2" deep to conceive and start the growing process And slowly that sunshine gets bottled up by the wheat growing from 8" - 46" tall with more width Dynamic design thinks day by day

A project for my Uncle David’s cows Multipurpose land use is the goal. Can we get to 90% + yield on 60” of 160” … 37.5% footprint Growing a Substantial grazing venue after corn harvest? Then grow the corn is the forage space the next year… similar to StockCropping

What the naked eye can’t see from the road is the Chocolate Cake soil created here from 4 consecutive wheat |bean|corn rotations. You will not see any stubble in 10 days Soil is charged with C and H20 Incredible Hulk comith

I get asked all the time about dryland relay cropping and the potential. Here is a 1ac test a few weeks post harvest vs the irrigated a few yards away. We simply don’t get the rain here.
