I’m no farmer either, would hate to have to make a living that way, I’d be pretty skinny.
On feeding corn and protein, we and several neighbors were feeding protein before our big drought in 2011 it think it was. We had a big die off from that drought, deer population crashed. Took a long time to recover and when the deer population had recovered most folks had lost interest in protein
Fast forward to 2 years ago, my first Fall Release planting, deer walked into the plots with their noses on the ground, when they looked up peas were hanging out of their mouths. They hardy glanced at corn, corn feeders became crow feeders.
One more benefit to the project. I don’t buy corn or protein now.

Thank you all for the replies this is all very interesting to me. You have me thinking a crimper maybe isn’t as much a gimmick as I first believed.
However if a crimper works and saves so much money why don’t farmers whose whole liveleyhood depends on input cost participate in the same practices? Seems like they would be moving in this direction if it works that well wouldn’t they?
The ability to turn poor soil to black soil is VERY interesting to me. I’m spraying and flattening with a Great Plains NT drill and getting a similar result but not using the same principles to guide me. Going to see how this does and perhaps change as I research more and see how the current system progresses.
