Our NOPP plot outside of Colby is showing some really interesting stuff!
Taking a peak at some of the individual plots, we are starting to see that majority of the plots that had crimson+berseem clover planted in the fall (then winter killed/terminated in the spring) have been providing a benefit versus the corn that didnt have cover crop planted ahead of it....no matter the nitrogen rate.
Most of the differences are slight (obviously we will learn more once the combine rolls through), like a little bit better sized cobs/few extra kernels, and some easier to see: the corn is greener where the cover crop was.
Also, we saw that their was LESS debris where the cover was. Everything was no tilled, so nothing would have been "worked in". To our best guess is that with an early amount of nitrogen left from the cover crop this quickened the process of microbes and other biology breaking down the debris, because for the soil to break down carbon (from residue) they need N to continue the process ...so with more upfront education N meant the bio-critter engines were running full speed.
From early testing, there was about 60-90 credits of N left behind by a 50/50 mix of crimson clover and berseem clover that only produced 800-1000 lbs DM/ac biomass.

Hi everyone! Stop #4 of the EPPIC Farm Tours is almost here!
Join us on August 25th from 10 AM–1 PM for a field day at Twin B Dairy in Marathon City — home of The Digital Farmer.
Adam and crew will be taking us for in-field looks at the new soybean planter trials, multispecies cover crops, and film corn trials.

Lunch will be provided by EPPIC, but RSVP is required. Please use the QR code in the flyer below or call/text Caleb Armstrong at 715‑722‑9808 to reserve your spot.
Hope to see you there!

Holy Moly it is hot and dry !
Taking a look at our soybean and winter wheat field (that we have been looking at all year) they are showcasing moisture running out.

Winter wheat fields are left with just stubble and the sun is showing no mercy. A blazing 104 F on the surface, and over 100 F 2in below the soil surface. Down deep at 7-8 in we finally found some temp. relief, below 90F.
Matt's moisture tester usually stays above 6 and 8 (average moisture to above average ) but water is hard to come by, even down at 7-8in.

In the soybean field the canopy coverage has helped with soil temps, keep the ground in the 80s, but mositure levels similar to the wheat, which makes sense because despite the canopy slowing the evaporation down, the roots are sucking up everything available.

It has been awhile seeing soil that far down lacking that much mositure in the dense dirt of Clark County.

Our platform focuses on many farms, and the many many needs they need. Cavern Point Farm took our Recovery Mix and spiked it with some 'razzle-dazzle,' coming up with a robust mix for their overwintering pastures that is working up the soil and providing great looking forage for their beefers at the same time!
