🌱25 Years of Success With No-Till & Cover Crops! 🍀 🌽

Come along as Myron Sylling shares his journey into Soil Health including 25 plus years of No-Till along with cover cropping six years on all of their 1,400 acres.

Myron has been successfully & profitably no-till farming with his brother, Mikal, and father, Karl near Spring Grove, MN. While solid yields are important, net profit per acre and soil health benefits are what drives the Sylling family. The family are also huge believers in trying to have a live root 24/7 - 365.

This spring they frost seeded nearly 600 acres using their fertilizer buggy in early March. Over the past few springs, they've frost seeded a couple hundred acres annually. They've also experimented with 60" corn, enjoy planting all of their crops into vibrant green cover crops, and this year are looking into other ways to get cover crops established earlier. 🌽

Additionally water infiltration rates range from 6-10" per hour under their management compared to others that can only infiltrate 0.5 to 1.0 inches per hour. This is primarily because Myron, Mikal and Karl follow most of the soil health principles and refuse to use tillage.

So join us for this quick video on how and why the Syllings love to No-till and cover crop!

Very good Lance. I'm agronomist in Brazil, and agree with you the importance of cover crop to preserve soil and increase
the harvest.

That’s great, building soil is so important, hopefully more farmers will do this without simply round-up and GMO’s...

[patrickday]

It's just getting started with what's possible!

[craiganderson]

It's an amazing practice that nature has been doing since the day after dot. I really wish the farmers around where I live would at least look into it. Seeing bare fields of dirt makes my soul sad... I appreciate the video, cheers mate!!

Γειά θα ήθελα να μάθω παρά πολύ για όλες αυτές τις πρακτικές ποία τα πλεονεκτήματα και μειονεκτήματα της περίπτωσης οργώματος και μή ευχαριστώ πολύ προκαταβολικά για το χρόνο σας..

Did you just say G'day folks? Ahhh Minnisota (Southern Canada), that explains it.

[terraint]

Awesome that they are using this method, but hope we can all push more people to grow their food locally without unsustainable expensive equipment like those big John Deer tractors.

I’d like to pitch this to the farmers farming our land in north eastern MO, what are the simplest cover crops to start with that won’t cause a lot of issues when it’s time to terminate them in the spring?

[wallyyuriy]

Interested in these practises. Just curious how u get the crop u want to harvest to grow with the competition of cover crop without glyphosate application?. Thanks

[leelindsay]

Are they grazing cover crops or cover crop residues? And how much diversity are they at so far? 3-5 way blends or have they gotten over 8 way blends?

[mikeross]

Why do three people give this video a thumbs down when his results speak for themselves?

[htinaungshien]

May I see the soil after 25 years condition? Please may I know.

[ChanceChelios]

So is a cover crop a live plant or the leaves or sown crop laid out on top of a field?

[markriegler]

How many lbs/ac ofvrye did you broadcast in march?

[MrNightpwner]

No ones a John deer fan, they have no other options.

[tomkelly]

surely the land there can produce much much more then it did before with all that organic matter building up above and below that soil

[weekendfarmer]

No till = no yields. if they did tillage they would be growing 280 bushel corn and 80 bushel beans.. ask me how I know

[vivalaleta]

Why are you still just growing soy and corn? DIVERSIFY.
