Huneke Dairy experiences decade of cover crops, double cropping

By Amy Kyllo amy.k@star-pub.com

BELLECHESTER,

Minn. – When the Hunekes harvested 57 bushels per acre of soybeans in 2022, their harvest was 15% more than the year’s U.S. Department of Agriculture national average.

But, above average soybeans were not all they were harvesting.

The Hunekes also harvested 230 bales of winter rye baleage off of those same 50 acres. With numbers like these, the Hunekes see their double cropping efforts as successful.

The Hunekes – Paul, Marc and Micah – have 285 cows and farm approximately 1,000 acres across several properties within a 6-mile radius of the home dairy farm near Bellechester.

The Hunekes have been using cover crops or practicing double cropping for approximately 10 years. Marc said it began as a way to prevent soil erosion on corn silage ground in the fall. This year, between hay ground, cover crops and double crop-

ping, 100% of their 240-acre dairy farm has a green plant cover.

Double crops are similar to cover crops except that double crops are meant to be harvested while cover crops are usually terminated.

The Hunekes have found several keys to their double cropping success. The rst is that they plant their cover crop and double crops early in the fall, generally within a week after chopping corn silage. Currently, Paul said they pay a neighbor to no-till drill the winter rye for the fall planting. This takes care of additional fall labor during the harvest season.

“Our labor for seeding it in the fall is a phone call and paying a bill,” Paul said.

The Hunekes have several cropping combinations: winter rye with soybeans, winter rye with alfalfa and grass mixes, and winter rye with corn silage. Their neighbor who plants the rye in the fall also grows the rye seed, which takes care of the need for ordering seed. If they are planting rye as a cover crop, they will plant at the rate of

50 pounds per acre. If it is planned to be a double crop, they will plant at the rate of 80-100 pounds per acre.

In the spring, the Hunekes harvest their winter rye for forage. Depending on weather, they may opt to terminate and use it as green manure instead. When harvested for forage, the Hunekes either chop it or make it into bale-

age. “It is better chopped, but it is difcult to chop,” Paul said.

Paul said ash is an issue, especially if the ground is uneven or was worked in the fall before planting the cover crop. Ash is one of the key items the Hunekes pay attention to in double cropping.

Paul said neighbors with

mergers have experienced issues with the long rye stems wrapping in the merger belts especially if they are harvesting rye that has headed out. The Hunekes use a rotary rake, which works well with rye, but if the ground is uneven, it can produce high ash

content.

When the Hunekes bale the rye for baleage, they narrow their 16-foot swath to 7 feet so it does not have to be raked or merged. This helps with ash content by eliminating the need to rake, but Paul said it can then be hard to wilt down. When they bale the 7-foot swaths, they are left with long stems for feeding. After it is baled, the Hunekes wrap the bales. Depending on the harvest, often the rye will be used for dry cows and heifers.

Paul said they ght a small harvest window for high-quality feed.

“Rye can go from milk cow feed – really good, high digestibility – to beef cow ller in less than about four days or ve days,” he said.

The rye varies in feed value because of its fast maturity. Hitting the small harvest windows is one of the keys and challenges to successful double cropping. Paul said once the rye heads are exposed, generally the rye ends up with a relative feed quality of 120 or 130, but if the rye is harvested before the heads are exposed, the feed value will be 180-200. The tonnage also varies according to maturity.

Marc said when it comes to feed value, the time window is tight.

“It’s the difference of a day and a half,” he said.

Although they often feed rye to dry cows and heifers, Paul said they do sometimes feed rye to milk cows

too.

“When the feed quality is there, it denitely makes milk out of it as good as any other haylage,” Paul said.

Paul said as rye continues to mature, it can produce tremendous volume but the quality falters.

“Where you really kick yourself is if you let it get totally headed out,” Paul said. “All of a sudden you have ... over 2 ton of dry matter to the acre of just a hellacious amount of feed, but ... it should be fed to beef cows.”

One way Paul said they can improve the quality of their rye in the future is by putting on more nitrogen to increase the protein content.

When the Hunekes choose to terminate the crop versus harvesting, they begin by injecting liquid manure followed by discing. After the ground has been disced, they plant it. Finally, once the new crop is established, they will spray the rye to complete the termination process.

This past spring, the Hunekes had an unexpected challenge in their cover cropping system. Their corn was growing into the decimated rye, which was regrowing and was ready to spray. Unbeknownst to them, however, army worms were feasting on the rye. When the Hunekes sprayed, the army worms transferred to the corn and completely ate away the

corn on 30 acres.

“The rest was just like somebody came in overnight and took it,” Paul said.

The Hunekes plan to keep insect pressure in mind in the future.

Marc said that from a bottom-line standpoint, the Hunekes are content with the cover crops and double cropping.

“Without actually doing any numbers, it feels more protable if you get a bunch of forage off,” Marc said. “It feels less protable if you’re terminating it all. Still, in the long run, I think there’s enough advantages to make it worthwhile.”

Marc said their spray costs have held steady compared to single cropping, and they see fewer broadleaves because the rye chokes them out. Their fertilizer costs have gone down slightly. Paul said any yield

loss on the second crop seems to be made up by the tonnage of rye that comes off rst.

The Hunekes were part of a research study with the University of Minnesota that looked at cover crops and their ability to hold nitrogen. As part of the study, they injected liquid manure into established cover crops in early November. In the spring, the areas planted with cover crops retained the nitrogen better than the ground that did not have cover crops.

The Hunekes said the rye recovered so well that it was difcult to see in the spring that they had injected liquid manure into the crop in the fall.

The Hunekes understand the environmental value of cover crops and double cropping for their farm.

“After you till in the

spring and plant and you get a heavy downpour, you don’t get so nervous because it still is green out there until the corn is kind of established,” Paul said. “So, it just kind of holds the soil together even if you get some heavy downpours.”

In the fall, rye contains soil runoff as well. The

Hunekes have also changed their tillage habits as a result of double cropping.

“I don’t think we do near as much deep tillage,” Paul said. “Because (of) the grasses and the alfalfa and the cover crops, I think that root mass rotting just loosens the ground a lot.”

The Hunekes said pro-

ducers considering or practicing double cropping need to be exible and able to pivot. Although their double cropping success is dependent on weather and time availability, they said it has been a good t.

“That whole process of keeping something growing on the ground I think has done our farm good,” Paul said.

PAUL HUNEKE, DAIRY FARMER

Dairy Star interviews ag professionals for a inside look at their careers.

One-On-One

with Jerry Stibal of J & D Seeds LLC in Lester Prairie, Minnesota

What is your background in the agriculture industry? I have most of my experience on the farming side of the industry. I currently farm 230 acres and have raised beef cattle in the past. I and my partner, Danny LaMott, keep up with trends and grow our understanding of agronomic practices and products through many of the online classes Channel provides for us as seed representatives, through our customers and through research plots.

What seed do you sell and what territory do you cover; how has this changed throughout your career? We sell Channel corn and soybeans, Agassiz Seed & Supply cereal grains and grasses, and Ag Performance Xylem Plus fungicide. We have a variety of products because within the rst year of selling Channel corn and soybeans, we had farmers calling and asking if we had oats or rye and other crops. We discussed that if the farmer needs it, we should have it. This was a way to diversify and take care of our customers’ needs, which in turn brought more people our way and helped us make additional customer connections. We have customers in McLeod County and surrounding areas.

Tell us why you wanted to work as a seed representative. I love working with farmers. It gives me fulllment to serve their needs and help them improve their operation. I also enjoy being able to verse myself in the hybrids and communicate the performance of those hybrids to a farmer based on what soil they have and the area they are farming in. Above all else, it’s talking with the farmers that makes my job exciting. I really love working with these smaller guys because I can relate to them as a smaller farmer myself. We aren’t afraid to handle bags for that reason because not everyone needs a bulk seed container. This takes care of all our customers’ needs.

Through your position, are you involved in research projects or test plots? Channel has research test plots in Mapleton, Minnesota, that I try to visit at least four times a year. They plant hybrids and adjust aspects like population, fungicide application and weed control. They also introduce diseases to plants to measure the plants’ reaction and solution to an invasive problem. We put up around 150 acres of corn and soybean test plots around the Lester Prairie area. We will play a bit with fungicide application but nothing as in depth as the Mapleton plots, which is part of the reason I like to do one-on-one eld walks with our agronomist there. He gives me insight on variety performance under stressful conditions.

Is there an emerging seed variety or technology farmers should know about? Short-stature corn is likely to be hitting the market in about three years. Short-stature corn canopies quicker and could be a new and coming hybrid that can perform highly for silage. It has larger leaves and less stalk, which is the part of the plant that is hardest for cattle to digest. Channel has SmartStax technology, which became available this year and has four modes to the hybrid.

How do you work to meet the needs of your clients? I do soil sampling and write recommendations. We walk the elds for the farmers and watch for weed and pest control needs. We like to say that we are available at all hours for calls during busy season. I’ve driven an extra few bags of seed to farmers at 11:30 p.m. We regularly consult our Channel agronomist about challenges and new developments so that we can give the best recommendation to farmers.

What is a favorite aspect of your job? Working with the farmers.

What kind of ongoing training or learning do you undertake? We do courses through Channel. It has a neverending supply of educational programs on anything agronomy you could think of. I try to apply myself in those courses as much as possible because the industry and trends change quickly.

What are some of the biggest changes you have seen take place in the industry? I would say the fungicide. Farmers are looking into applying that more as compared to ve years ago. The number of bushels to a plant as compared to 5-6 years ago is amazing even with a stress level. Of course, the technology to get high yields and stress resistant hybrids has come with a price, but how quickly these advancements have been made is remarkable.

What is your most unique experience as a seed representative? The different springs we’ve had, from dry to wet, and coping with moving hybrids around based on those challenges. It becomes a zoo in our shop around spring. Weather is unpredictable, and we want to make sure farmers can harvest a quality crop come fall.

What is something you have learned from your dairy-farmer clients, and what is your favorite part of those relationships? Getting the right silage variety for them is so important because they are not just harvesting a cob of corn; they are harvesting the whole plant. When I sit down with these farmers, I know they will be working with a short maturity date, and their timeline for planting and harvest is much tighter. It gets me excited to learn about the different hybrids. I love seeing the dynamics of those farms and the passion they have for what they do.

Tell us something about being a seed representative most people do not know. There are a lot of long hours. There is also a lot of educating that goes into deciding which hybrids will work and getting them placed in proper soils. There is a lot to agronomy. It is not just putting a seed in the ground and hoping it grows. There is a lot of strategy we can cash in on when we adjust different aspects.

Besides marketing seed to farmers, what is involved in your day-to-day job? These online courses take quite a bit of time. We also talk to other dealers on how hybrids are working in different areas.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I enjoy hunting and shing.

Editor’s note: This is the rst story in a new series titled “The Day That Went Awry.” All dairy farmers have experienced a day where life on the farm did not go according to plan. Dairy Star will highlight the stories of farmers’ mishaps and how they overcame those unfortunate days on the farm.

ROCK VALLEY, Iowa – Christmas Day 2009 is a day that Steve Rozeboom and his family would just as soon forget.

Steve and his brother, Brian, and their father, Glenn, milk 600 cows on their farm located just a few miles south of Rock Valley. The Rozebooms grow corn and alfalfa on 650 acres.

“We had all just sat down for our noontime Christmas meal when one of our employees called to tell me that some bad things were happening out in our freestall barn,” Rozeboom said.

The Rock Valley area had recently received about a foot of wet, heavy snow. The weight of the snow proved to be too much for their freestall barn’s rafters to bear; the barn’s roof began to collapse.

The Rozeboom family hustled to their freestall barn only to discover a number of their cows had been trapped under the collapsed roof. A few head of cattle had been killed. Others had suffered deep cuts or were impaled and had to be put down due to the severity of their injuries.

“Everybody pitched in to do what we could to remove the wreckage,” Rozeboom said. “Word of the collapse spread to our neighbors, and several of them came over and began to help. One neighbor family even brought all of their kids. The response from our neighborhood was simply incredible. They gave up their Christmas Day plans to lend us a hand with the barn.”

Rozeboom, his family and his neighbors worked feverishly to extricate their trapped cows from the tangle of shattered rafters and twisted roong steel, all of which was weighed down by several inches of dense, heavy snow. They used everything they had – skid

loaders, telehandlers, payloaders, power tools, pry bars and even their bare hands – while struggling to cope with the chilly wintertime temperatures.

“We were worried that other parts of the barn’s roof might also come down, so we had to keep an eye on the situation at all times,” Rozeboom said. “You can replace a cow, but you can never replace a human life. Our top priority was to make sure that everybody stayed safe.”

The Rozeboom family and their volunteer crew of neighbors worked without stopping throughout that long afternoon, removing the wreckage and piling it off to the side.

“By the end of the day, we were able to function as a dairy once again,” Rozeboom said. “It was a bad deal and is certainly nothing we would ever want to repeat. But on the plus side, we learned once again how blessed we are to have such a unique neighborhood. We are very grateful for all of the help that our neighbors gave us. We couldn’t have gotten through it without their support.”

The Christmas Day freestall barn collapse marked the beginning of a long wintertime ordeal for the Rozebooms. Several other sheds on their farm would later be severely damaged due to excessive snow loads.

“The weather that winter was just relentless,” Rozeboom said. “The snowstorms kept on coming one after another and more of our buildings began to go down. By the time it was over, we had three separate buildings that had roof collapses. I pretty much ran on adrenaline that whole time. But as with any emergency, you just do what has to be done, try your best and keep on going.”

The Rozebooms’ facilities were eventually repaired, and the rhythms of daily life on their dairy farm gradually returned to normal. But one thing has changed in the wake of that very bad day on the Rozeboom farm.

“I now get really paranoid every time that it snows,” Rozeboom said. “Any time that we receive a substantial snowfall, we will hire guys to go up on our roofs to scoop off the snow. We never want to live through a repeat of Christmas Day 2009.”

A look back at 5, 10 and 20 years ago

Dairy Star brings you top stories from past issues

5 years ago

Staying true to his routine

Mark Klehr had a somatic cell count average of 42,000 for his herd of 50 cows near Belle Plaine, Minnesota. This achievement earned him the No. 1 spot on the Minnesota Dairy Herd Improvement Association statewide database. He said his milking preparation procedure included using the same iodine-based solution for pre and post dip, but each had their separate dippers. He dipped three of the ve cows on one side of the milking parlor, then went back to wipe, forestrip and attach the milking unit. If a cow ared up with mastitis more than once, she was culled.

Ready to farm

Derek Borth knew since he was a child that he wanted to be a dairy farmer. Since his parents were still young, they wanted to continue farming at the home dairy farm for several years. The 21-year-old set his sights on nding his own place to farm. Borth worked in construction for ve years to build capital. He found a farm for lease near Osage, Minnesota, and signed a rental agreement. In October 2017, Borth started milking 60 cows on the site in a swing-9 parlor.

Counting their components

Baier Creek Farms near Eau Galle, Wisconsin, was averaging 99 pounds of milk every day with a 4% butterfat and a somatic cell count between 30,000-40,000.

Father and son, Charlie

and Trevor Baier, along with Charlie’s brother and nephew, Rod and Steve Baier, ran the farm together, milking 400 cows. Keeping cows clean and comfortable in their sand-bedded freestall barn with fresh air moving throughout at all times was a top priority for the Baiers. They also credited producing and feeding high-quality feed and using bulls from proven high component cow families as keys to their success.

Overcoming obstacles in dairy farming

In 2015, at the age of 21, Danielle Murphy purchased her rst set of cows. By 2018, she was milking a herd of 35 near Cadott, Wisconsin. Murphy grew up on the farm, but her parents sold the cows after she moved away to attend Iowa State University, pursuing a career in nursing. While there, Murphy milked cows for the university’s dairy farm and realized she preferred milking to nursing. She moved home and began renting the farm from her parents. Since the barn had been gutted and the equipment taken out, Murphy rst needed to ret the barn with stalls and a pipeline to pursue her dairy career.

Schwartzes looking to relocate dairy

Dale and Julie Schwartz, third-generation dairy farmers, were anticipating their son and daughter becoming the fourth generation to farm. The family milked 100 cows on their site near Arlington, Minnesota. All that changed when they learned in 2011 that the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission nalized the route for a new transmission line. It would run within 400 feet of the family’s dairy barns. The new power lines were set to start running in July 2013. The family talked with other farmers who had experienced

herd health issues and personal health problems after transmission lines were added to their farms. When efforts to have the transmission line’s route changed were defeated, the Schwartzes decided they had no choice but to begin searching for a new site to relocate their farm.

Fire destroys barn, kills 70 calves

Lee and Mary Muehlenhardt went on vacation for the rst time in 12 years with their daughter and son-in-law. Their son stayed behind to do chores on the family’s farm near Belle Plaine, Minnesota, where the Muehlenhardts milked 350 cows. While they were away, their calf and fresh-cow barn caught re Feb. 12, 2013. The barn was a total loss. The Muehlenhardts also lost 70 calves and had to put down 13 cows because of injuries from the re. The cause of the re was believed to be a heat lamp. The Muehlenhardts planned to rebuild their calf barn.

20 years ago

Making the count

In February 2003, Laura and Roger Primus had the lowest somatic cell count in the state of Minnesota on their 40-cow dairy farm. The couple, who started their dairy in 1986 near West Union, Minnesota, had consistently held their SCC under 100,000 for 14 years beginning in 1989. Over the years, they received numerous quality awards from their creamery. The couple credited preventative measures, such as using the California mastitis test paddle and a thermometer, on all fresh cows and any other suspicious cows to check for mastitis.

The wild blue yonder

Mark Nelson was taking off from his family’s 70cow dairy near Rush City, Minnesota, every chance he got – literally. In addition to dairy farming, Nelson had opened Hawk Aviation Inc. in 1999 and was balancing farming and ying. He rst obtained his pilot’s license in 1994 at the urging of his brother-in-law and became a ight instructor in 1999. By February 2003, Nelson, along with his wife and three kids, was used to enjoying short trips in his plane between milking times. Also at that time, Cambridge High School was using Hawk Aviation to take students up in planes to study the geography of the area.

Game on YouTube inuencer Mr. Beast, Minecraft part of Midwest Dairy’s outreach strategy

By Amy Kyllo amy.k@star-pub.com

DENNISON, Minn. –

The most popular inuencer on YouTube has teamed up with dairy.

Mr. Beast, with 133 million subscribers, has the top individual channel in the world and is the fourth most subscribed YouTube channel overall. He recently created a Minecraft challenge in partnership with Undeniably Dairy.

Collaboration with Mr. Beast was one of many dairy promotion updates that was part of a Midwest Dairy check off meeting Feb. 8 in Dennison.

Midwest Dairy is holding a series of meetings across Minnesota to share updates on its dairy promotion work including its work with members of Generation Z, dairy research and a collaboration with Taco Bell. Speakers also gave updates on dairy grants in schools and collaborations with food and retail partners such as Cub.

As Midwest Dairy hones its focus on a new generation,

they also used a new check off meeting format to help farmers implement promotion ideas locally.

Mr. Beast made a Minecraft gaming competition that included a dairy-dedicated level and challenged a group of gamers to a competition with a cash prize. The video was the No. 1 trending video on YouTube within one day. As of Feb. 20, the video had reached more than 10 million views.

In a tweet he posted Feb. 4, Mr. Beast reminded viewers of his vast reach beyond his massive follower list.

“Our YouTube channel has reached 616,000,000 different people in the last 90 days,” he said.

Midwest Dairy was also able to utilize Minecraft at the local level through collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota. They created a competition where Minecraft gamers constructed dairy farms within Minecraft and submitted them to be judged. They received more than 109, which were judged by a dairy farmer.

The collaboration is part

of Midwest Dairy’s effort to reach its target demographic of Gen Z, people who are currently ages 11-26.

Brittany Arnold, Midwest Dairy farmer relations manager for Minnesota and presenter at the meeting, said Gen Z is a purpose-driven generation, and the concepts of sustainable and local have meaning to them. Research by Midwest Dairy shows that milk consumption declines in adolescence, so reaching this generation before they make other choices is

key. Midwest Dairy is actively working to reach Gen Z in the places they are and in the ways they nd meaning.

“Out with marketing and billboards,” Arnold said.

The Gen Z demographic has had social media their entire lives, and social inuencers are key to their world. YouTube, the most popular platform among Gen Z, captures 95% of the demographic. Among Gen Z, approximately 90% are also gamers.

The Gen Z demographic

also encompasses the college undergraduate population. With Midwest Dairy’s focus on reaching Gen Z consumers where they are, they facilitated pop-up events across several local campuses. College students were served easy graband-go dairy food options, dairy information and meme

cards. They were also were staffed with individuals ready to answer questions about dairy.

Midwest Dairy has also been active in dairy research through collaboration with land grant universities. The Midwest Dairy Foods Research Center collaborated with Taco Bell in creating the restaurant’s Whip Freeze drinks. Through research, the application lab discovered how Taco Bell could use shelf stable dairy creamer in their drinks without requiring any new equipment . This collaboration helped launch the Pineapple Whip Freeze. Other similar collaborations are underway, but Midwest Dairy cannot share all the stories due to non-disclosure agreements with partners.

Arnold said Midwest Dairy works with schools through its Innovate with Dairy grants. Through these grants, schools are able to get the equipment they need to offer their students milk, yogurt smoothies and lattes. This year, these grants helped 51 schools in 42 districts. Nearly half of the schools elected

to add yogurt smoothie options on-site, making it the most popular option.

In 2022, Midwest Dairy collaborated with retail and food service partners including Cub, Casey’s, Kwik Trip, Coborn’s Inc., Hy-Vee, Pizza Ranch and Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers.

Midwest Dairy worked with Cub on social media content. Midwest Dairy ambassadors did two social media takeovers for Cub’s Instagram, where they shared a farm tour video and did an “Ask Me Anything” segment.

With many ideas and successes to share, Midwest Dairy’s goal for this year’s meetings was that farmers would take the ideas presented and implement them in their local communities. This year’s in-person meetings focused on high-level information combined with time for brainstorming and discussion among attendees. A more in-depth presentation of Midwest Dairy’s promotion work will be given at a March 7 virtual meeting.

The Midwest Dairy virtual checkoff meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. March 7 and includes a more in-depth presentation of Midwest Dairy’s promotion success.
