Fun event this evening, showcasing Kernza and locally made and grown Kernza products. Great turnout. Thanks!
Trying something new for this area.* Since the Turkey Red was harvested so early this year, and since the tall thick straw provided such good cover during the growing season, very few weeds germinated. I planted a very short season soybean to see if I can harvest a second crop and provide additional living cover for the soil, plus a boost of nitrogen from the beans. Downside(s): it is very late to plant soybeans in time for the crop to make it in the fall. Also, the thick straw is a challenge to cut through, making it difficult to get good seed to soil contact in every part of the field. Nevertheless, the goal of this experiment is to learn how this set of techniques might work in either a relay system or with other winter grains such as rye or other crops in the future.
Happy 4th! It’s harvest weather (hot and windy) so I’m test cutting the Turkey Red today.
