Rye, rye and more rye. I love planting this versatile crop this time of year. Planted on two different farms for some friends in Nicollet county this week. Yesterday planted 240 cover crop acres on vertical tilled corn and today planting cover crop rye for a local organic grower. Both fields will be planted to soybeans in 2022. The rye protects and improves the soil + provides allelopathy to give the soybeans a good start in spring. Got rained out today but will continue soon as it dries off.
It’s here! Just arrived this morning: Kernza pancake mix from Perennial Foods with locally grown Kernza and wheat is on the shelf at the St. Peter Food Coop! This is an exciting day and represents a lot of hard work and is something to celebrate for Minnesota, our community and region and our local farmers. Come to the Coop and try some today!
I’ve been having a great time planting winter rye this past week. So far I’ve planted three different varieties, hybrid forage rye after corn silage, a cover cover crop variety + brassicas no-tilled into sweet corn and the variety in this video is Tayo hybrid rye being no-tilled into Soybean stubble.
Today I’m helping a local farmer with a pilot demonstration project to plant Winter Camelina on 15 acres. Developed by researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Forever Green Initiative, Winter Camelina is a new oil seed crop intended as a relay crop in a system followed by soybeans.
Finished! Just got done planting the Turkey Red Winter Wheat ahead of the expected rain.
Got away to Colorado for a few days. Our first hike at elevation was a success.
