Sorghum costs less to plant and requires less water to generate productive tonnages. For years, sorghum has been ignored as a dairy forage, because the starch filled berry was nearly impossible to process, limiting the energy available to the cow. To combat this issue a male sterile bmr dwarf variety was developed with no grain head as an opportunity to harvest a nutrient dense, resilient leafy forage. Researcher Juan Pineiro, Associate Professor & Extension Dairy Specialist at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Amarillo and his team substituted a portion of corn silage in the TMR with sorghum silage to determine the feasibility of this forage for dairy farms. The team found an improvement in dry matter intake which resulted in a nearly 8lb increase in milk produced when substituting 25% of the corn silage with headless sorghum silage. To compensate for the decrease in dietary starch, Dr. Pineiro added ground corn into the ration to balance energy. Additionally, Dr. Pineiro drew our attention to the recent advancements in berry processing for the non-sterile varieties. “We were able to see 0-1% intact berries remaining with the recently patented processor,” he explained. This unlocks the starch available to the cow and should causes dairymen to consider planting once again. He cautions hybrid selection, harvest timing and processing are all keys to making this affordable resilient forage to earn a spot in your ration. Sorghum should be given a second look, especially in water limiting – dairy dense regions. Listen-in to this episode for an update in sorghum advancements for your dairy.

This week's podcast guest Masha Vernik interviewed nearly 30 farmers in the Pacific Northwest about how they are changing their cropping strategies in response to climate change for her master's thesis at The University of Washington. In the process, she collected a lot of data and anecdotes about all aspects of how farmers in the region are being affected by, and adapting to, climate change. In addition to her academic work, Masha has also worked on several farms in the region. Regardless of where your farm is located, there is a lot to learn from this interview about how climate change is playing out, and strategies for increasing resilience in the face of increasingly erratic weather.

Morse Nursery's Tim Mills and National Land Realty agent Jacob Jenkins explain how to “row crop” hardwoods with proven genetics, tree tubes, and tight management to create reliable timber and wildlife results. From West Lafayette, Indiana, Morse grows grafted fruit and nut trees and supplies Tree Pro tubes that speed straight, tall growth. They cover black walnut and white oak veneer genetics, blight-resistant American hybrid chestnuts that bear in 3 to 5 years, planting densities of 100 to 125 trees per acre on 20-foot centers, and why weed control and pruning discipline make or break a planting. For hunters, they map staggered drop times across apples, persimmons, and chestnuts to hold deer after surrounding crops are harvested. For investors, Tim outlines chestnut orchard math at maturity around year 15, with 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per acre and common wholesale pricing near 4 dollars per pound, while guiding to a conservative target near 6,000 dollars per acre.

VicNoTill president Michael Gooden describes stepping intothe paddocks of broadacre cropping farmer Brendan 'Patto' Pattison at Marrar NSW, as like stepping 10-15 years into the future and seeing what broadacre cropping systems have the potential to become. Michael sits in the tractor, ute and walks through Patto's paddocks for this Farmers Helping Farmers episode that brings real farm life to your ears, learning more about cropping and soil health in just over an hour than what he could in a decade."Whenever I visit Patto on farm, am blown away bywhat he's doing and how far he's taken it,” Michael says. “He is a quiet achiever and a true innovator. He is deeply knowledgeable about systems farming and where he wants to take his. In his own quiet way he has contributed a lot, not only to VicNoTill, but to Australian agriculture as a whole.”Brendan has a long history with innovation, being the first in their district in the NSW Riverina to use a disc seeder in 2007 as a way to gain more groundcover. He started minimum till 10 years prior to this, and gradually phased out sheep to go 100% cropping. He took a 'whole of system' approach to introducing the disc and has maintained that focus ever since.It has taken time for their system to click into placeand he says it has been a ‘pretty slow' journey for the dual benefit of improving soil quality without compromising profitability. After joining the board, Patto made big steps forward in his system by dropping synthetics out and putting more focus on biology. He says being involved with VicNoTill continually inspires him to further tweak his system and trial new things.Patto was a VicNoTill board member from 2018-2024. An indepth look at his farming system features in Issue 74 of VicNoTill's member magazine From the Ground Up. His presentation at the VicNoTill Carbon Power conference is available to watch on VicNoTill's You Tube channel.

“Economics of strip cropping with autonomous machines” with James Lowenberg-DeBoer. With the growing global population, the demand for food continues to rise. However, increasing food production often depends on intensive farming practices and agricultural inputs that can negatively impact environmental health. To counter this, promoting crop diversity, improving soil health, and reducing disease and pest pressure are crucial. Mixed cropping presents a viable solution but poses challenges for mechanization and labor efficiency. In this context, customized autonomous machines and advanced technology can play a key role in facilitating mixed cropping while lowering production costs. In this episode, Dr. James Lowenberg-DeBoer shares insights from his research on the economics of strip cropping—the simplest form of mixed cropping—using autonomous machines. He explores the feasibility and profitability of this approach, along with the challenges and opportunities in restoring crop biodiversity and ecosystem services, ultimately fostering better environmental health and sustainable agriculture.

Colin Seis is a prominent figure in regenerative agriculture, renowned for his innovative pasture cropping solutions in Australia. His family's introduction to agriculture began when his four-times-great-grandparents were sent to Australia as convicts and eventually became successful farmers. Colin grew up on a farm held by his family for many generations in Australia, inheriting a wealth of agricultural knowledge from his father. However, after having witnessed the detrimental effects of conventional farming practices, he sought to find a better way. This led to the development of pasture cropping on the Seis operation, a method that integrates crops and pastures to restore and maintain soil health. Today, Colin's 2,000-acre farm is a model of sustainable farming, carrying more sheep than ever before without relying on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and boasting a diverse array of native grassland species. In this episode, Colin and John discuss the: Development and success of pasture cropping on his farm Restoration of native grasslands Improvement of farm profitability and sustainability Critical role of grazing in balancing the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio Management of rainfall and moisture Benefits of using native grasses Additional Resources To learn more about the Colin's farm, please visit: https://winona.net.au/ To get a copy of Colin's book, Custodians Of The Grasslands, please visit: https://winona.net.au/product/custodians-of-the-grasslands-author-colin-seis/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).
