 My name is Alex Rosa. I am a PhD student here at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln so here we are testing a concept, the concept of double cropping crops including field pea and all the other crops that I will explain in a moment. So this project is basically testing field pea and by that we mean yellow pea and green pea as well as chickpeas and lentils So those crops we plant early in the spring. They are cool season crops. So we plant them early April. We just harvest them a couple weeks ago to be precise in July 12 and in the same day we put down seven or eight different crops that we are testing to get yield from it. So we are trying to get two crops in one year The crops we are double cropping include soybean, corn, sunflower, grain sorghum, prosumilate and also forage sorghum and two different mixes of cover crop that includes a winter hardening and a winter sensitive mix When we selected all the species to double crop we of course we thought about the ones that are more familiar to the farmers here in the region so corn and soybean and then grain sorghum would be the other one and then we tried to gather other information from the state where we had sunflower, prosumilate So with the financial analysis and we had the last year data we know that not all of them will be profitable let's say this way especially because some of them will not reach maturity or they will be frost maturity. That's a common scenario here but even if some crops doesn't work we always have options like doing silage or making hay. So besides the yield that we are trying to get and all the profitability and financial analysis that we will run with this project we are looking at sustainable aspects of agriculture such as soil characteristics especially the amount of nutrients that we have here that can be cycled through the year and also over time if this come to be an option for the farmers in the eastern part of the state. We are also evaluating the the feasibility which will be the main thing right we are not sure yet which crops will be able to to reach maturity so as I mentioned we are testing that and I'm sure that this is very valuable to our farmers so they have another option other than corn and soybean that we are already very successful on that here in the corn belt especially but if we can have this extra option I'm sure farmers will be glad to know it.
