[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8108755, member: 86168"] depending on what part of our farm we want to grow maize, the really 'good' stuff down by the farm, wouldn't worry to much, if we didn't sow maize till early june. Maize does best when soil temp is correct, and when those 'conditions' are right, zoom. Maize is going in behind w/wold, but, l might not pass your info on to son..... Double cropping, seems at odds, with regen farming principles, on the other hand, if done correctly, with due care, its probably better, than 'abusing' other ground. We don't have many acres where we can, those acres have been a 'massive' help in the last few dry summers, by double cropping, 30 t/ac can be achieved, that's serious stuff. I would prefer to d/crop here, with care, than import straights etc, from countries where no care is taken, and ground is raped. Now, l hear, palm oil, is a seriously short product to get, one major country, has stopped all export, no sunflower oil, because of Ukraine, = no fish and chips ! People need to get their priorities right. We don't use fats in our rations, but it will hit dairy farmers, and production, another nail in the supply coffin, perfectly happy with that, lower production simply means better prices [/QUOTE]
