Making More Money In No-tillage Farming.
And with less risk.

Harvesting high yielding Chemfallow winter wheat. Making a lot of money.
Exactrix TAPPS, No-tillage System.
Stopping and holding water where it falls means higher yields without tillage.

Three different times the Jordan family gave up on the slopes….you can see at least 3 times from the high mark of the Mules and Percheron horses, D-4, D-5 and D-6 Cats and finally the 400 hp Wheel Tractors.

Today Quad Tracks and 40 foot, Exactrix TAPPS single disc formulators, Deere 1890 Single Disc Banding nutrients. Nutrients applied with VRT-site specific with 1% CV of Application Uniformity directly into the deck….

And 50 foot Deere 1890 Single Disc Seeders into a No-tillage seed bed result in 140 to 160 bushel per acre yields in big draws….holding soil and getting the winter moisture to go in where it falls.

The giant May cloudbursts and the yield enhancing water that falls find soil born root channels and worm holes to perk the water into the soil. This is a more natural means to handle the weather.

It is a thrill to see the next generation get a grip on the problem…Ross Jordan….and Greg Jordan know how to get it done and save soil and make a lot of money.

The moldboard plow and shanks did the destruction….30 to 50 foot drop offs…dangerous scenarios for all generations to come.

Some of the Palouse deep soil slope was never farmed….but it was the plow, tractors and man’s greed that did the soils into the 50% gravity pull…. and loaded the Palouse River with Palouse Silt Loam. This is a big problem with fishermen down slope from the upslope greed.

“Never will the Palouse ever be what it once was.”

Controlling Nematodes on Sandy Soils
Nasty Nemas, Pacific Gold Mustard, Agnema, Soybeans, Corn, tillage, Timing in May.

Best way to control soil nematodes.

Mark Ricker finally can raise soybeans on sandy soils…. Mark is now able to raise soybeans at Lyons, KS in 2017. Nematodes were the killer.

The Nasty Nemas were also getting into the corn crop at least 100 bushels per acre.

He found a way after two years of experimentation, how to shut down the Nematodes of the Arkansas River Flood plain….that is very sandy soil…it is not dirt….this is sandy soil.

Early March seeded Pacific Gold, University of Idaho mustard did the trick….worked into the soil about the end of May, around May 25th if I remember correctly…Mustard was at beginning bloom when the “little nasty nemas” were on vacation in the root zone.

Idaho Pacific Gold is very high in glucosinolates and it is very economical means to work on the little soil floral pests.

Mark had plenty of time as it worked out very well. He planted the soybeans timely after the last test for Nemas at Richland, Washington, Agnema is one of the best in the Nation due to the potato rotation.

Mark has has been rewarded for faith and hard work….Nematodes are most economically controlled with Pacific Gold Mustard. This is also very good for the environment….this was really Mark’s last and best choice. Everything else had been tried.

This works….and Mark hung in there to prove the point that he can raise soybeans on the Arkansas River Sand that he farms from time to time when the river allows.

Combination of timing, light tillage and Pacific gold mustard produced a beautiful crop of Soybeans.

Mustang Banding is often used to apply TAPPS and TAPPKTS, Ferrilene for Iron Chlorosis and micros and the powerful nutrients can be applied pre-plant right under the seed row.

Cyanide gas basically does the Nematodes in organically across the field when they are up in the root zone. The Cyanide gas is dilute enough that it does not hurt the soybeans.

High Glucosinolate, Idaho Pacific Gold Mustard did the trick just like it is done in Idaho Yukon Gold potatoes are treated in the PNW. Mustard allows high quality potatoes to be raised.

Mark nailed the little buggers in the spring time. In the PNW the producers go after Nematodes from July wheat harvest to late November incorporation.

Congrats to Jack Brown and Jim Davis, University of Idaho plant breeders for their hard work.

In Washington State, The Longest Term, Ultimate No-till Field and Farm,
The Boe Ranch.

2,000 acres, about 2 miles North to South. The Steepest of the Steep with 350 to 400 feet of elevation difference top to bottom at 1,472 feet …The Skyrocket Hills on the horizon, 1,875 feet.

The hillside combine can be out of level (50%) for 30 passes up the hill.

Winter Wheat Farming the Angle of Repose.

Land so steep it must be single disc banded for top yields. The No-tillage tool saves moisture and holds the soil, allowing the snow pack to perk into the soil and driving yields much higher to 120 bushel per acre range.

You get all the percentage points when you pay attention to the details. One of the most significant details is banded Anhydrous Ammonia goes together with Snow.

The crop production machinery is part of the recipe for success using modern tools, scientific investigation and trial and error evaluation (Monte Carlo).

The tool box is extensive, Turbine powered Bi-planes, Ground sprayers for Roundup and selective herbicides, Uniform Exactrix TAPPS, a modified Deere 1990 on 12 inch band centers at 42 feet, Case Quad Trak tractive power, and seeding winter wheat and spring wheat with single disc 50 foot, 5 section, Deere 1890 at 7.5 inch seed row spacing with Ag Pro seed meters.

April 30, 16, Flying with the best ag pilots in the world over the top of the deep Walla Walla soils of Washington State.

It takes a special attitude to farm the Sky Rocket Hills. Where did the soil come from?

The explosive Cascade Volcanoes, Crater Lake or Mt. Mazama to Mt. Baker and all the 10 Strato-Volcanoes of Oregon and Washington State developed these soils with the help of the wind.

The deep loess soils are formed up in the Rainbow effect.

The really good soils were deposited on the basalt up slopes of Snake River at 450 feet above sea level to the forested edge of the Blue Mountains at 3,450 feet.
