Water. Our #1 ingredient in making grain. Heavy rain is heavy. It quickly compacts the top of the soil. Rain that hits a plant 1st has a softer landing. Excess water that intercepts a 12" tall wheat row has to slow down and navigate around. Growing crops drink more...... show more

@zebulousprime Was thinking last night about drilling oats on 7.5” spacing and then plant wheat on 30” in Fall. Lots of root channels for water where oats were in Fall for Spring rains, but winter kill. Intercrop soybeans between 30” wheat in April.

Another 20”? It’s been a while since we’ve had 20” of moisture in a single year. Still raised 190-200 bpa dryland corn last year.

We use it to slow water and allow infiltration on hills. Soil erosion too.

You should have your beans planted by now. 😝

Saw this coming followed by cold. Good window April 17-20 coming

Soils with weak or damaged soil structure lack in pore space and also quickly disolve and seal over allowing the runoff of much more rain which increases the erosion and delivery of non point source pollutants downstream.

Would be a lot less flooding if everyone did this.

Heard you guys got plenty of rain

You’ve never grown wheat in both conventional and notill situations, that’s not necessarily true

Nothing more dispersive than blades and roots of short-shorn AMP-grazed grasses with the loam of a few or a few thousand cycles of ruminant restoration.
