First attempt at whole field strip intercropping getting closer to maturity. Setting this field up for 20' ClusterClucks down the road with goal of whole field of Stock Cropping production.

Took out my 60” single row hybrid plot Friday. Planted at 16,000 seeds/A. 8 Pioneer hybrids. Goal for the plot was to see hybrid expression in gaps. Yield range was 135-246 bu/a across products. 246 on 16k. To quote the great Ruth Langmore, “We don’t know fuck about shit.”

The idea of the STOCK CROPPER was born out of a Twitter DM on February 7th. On September 10th, the ClusterCluck 5000 walked on it’s own electric power for the first time in front of 75 people. Get busy living...

I planted a couple oak trees yesterday. If I don’t have shade by September, I’ll know that oak trees are a hoax. I’ll go back to what I know…growing corn on government assistance.
Ok, going to be brutally honest here. I seeded some cover crop with no government assistance. If it works economically I'll do it again. If not I'll continue with the good farming practices I've done for years.

Take chances, observe, fail, laugh at yourself, iterate, and share the journey with others. This is what success looks like. We need more Jason’s.
