Im not trying to be rude. Im just offering my understanding. I may have been only doing this for work for 10yrs, but ive been doing it all my life, over 2 generations beyond myself. Best compliment i ever got was from a riverbottom farmer. "Yeh know? Idk how you hill farmers raise anything but a sweat! But by God, you do, you do!... takes some know how in them clay hows. Idk how your crops dont just all burn up!" Best compliment my family ever received in regards to professionalism imo.

Drop dead gorgeous

Ending. Good leafy green! Ignore my earlier comment about spikey. Cultivation mustve open dirt to roots, or you had some rain. Multiple day rains. Because if overcompacted a single 2 in would good for about a day.

I was watching one of your older vids, and just wanted to come comment that i appreciate you sharing the tips and knowledge. (Hydraulic pump on 4430). Ive yet to check it all out yet. But youve given me a fantastic starting point. And an overall increased understanding. I pick up mechanical repairs/troubleshooting quick. But i like having an idea how deep a thing is before i jump off in to it. You made a description of starting the 4430 and the possible hudraulic issues. Shows you know what youre talking about! You earned a sub!

Ive commented alot. But im trying to learn as much as i can. Odd you leave tractor running whole time filming vid. Diesel is money. But!!! That engine does purr! I know 4430s! That's pretty sounding! You did a GOOD rebuild!

A narrow 35acre hayfield! Im Jealous!!!!!!!!!

Looks good God loves you and so do we keep up the good work

Looks like great progress overall. Don't worry about "eyesore from the road"; that's a game too many try to play. Prior crop volunteer seed that comes up are your hardy survivors; collect seed from them and replant and you'll have a crop that is stronger than weeds because that's how the weeds got so strong. Look up Lofthouse Landrace and Fukuoka Revolution.

Good news, youre prolly a better mechanic than farmer. (Not saying youre bad at farming! I've watched 3 vids! So i know nothing of you!!!) I also dont know your areas soil type, or weather patterns, so you could actually be doing a phenomenal job at raising crop! None of ot looks bad! Well, spikey corn for a bit. We call it pineapple leaf.but it definitely pulled out of it! Your mechanic tips seem phenomenal tho! I can usually figure a thing out, but! Having to tear it down, "is this wise? Am i tearing apart something i cant fix?" Never been an issue before, bit when i did those sort of things, i didnt have to answer to anyone. Annnd! Ive never had to be the 50$ surcharge at mechanics "if you worked on it first."🤣

"Best beans the one you spill", well...yes... they look the best early on. They are competing for growth. Theyll yield less id wager. Yes, monitor may show uptick, but first! Lets hope they dont grow so tall they dont fall down. Then, lets hope they actually fill out their pods equal to thinner areas. This is my worry with my misfuncting drill. Too heavy! Tall beans! Fall over! And not filled out pods! Gotta check top pod to bottom pod. Vs same to proper rate bean. Proper rate easier to harvest. More equal fullness. Plant may not look as impressive, but bean seed what we after! Not bean plant! Thays just more wear and tear through the rotor.

Nice looking crops, Jon! 👍

Im super curious to see how you decide to til that! Replanting hay crop i assume from what you say? Glad im sunned. I may learn something more! (Not sarcasm!)

Nitrogen makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! Ican get pics where my dad had eurea spread. And you can tell! Where they missed!

I do hay too! Thays not bad! I notice you dont cut as short as we do. (For a moment, i thought you showing windrows, unraked!🤣) we scalp ours...what my dad does. Yours looks more like what my Pa did. Again, laritude and climate. So no judgement

Congrats on 10K subscribers! Corn sure looks nice. Whats the special mix you are putting in the old hay field? Are we going to witness a moldboard plow video 😱😂

4:45 Pick that rock! 😊

8:44 hmm. Ok. Thats moist soil. Idk why leaves look so spikey. I think youll have a good crop. 🤔 unless semi rootbound due to compaction? I cant explain why plant looks so spikey. And youre further north than me, so that good height!

I don’t remember if it was 2023 or 2022 I asked about stopping by to do an interview for my small channel? I don’t know how busy you are, I’m off Sundays for now. Could I drive a tractor? My dad got me driving a tractor around age 7, the 500 acre dairy farm sold in 1981 when I was 14. We had all Farmall and IH, New Holland, Gehl,,, lots of equipment with red paint on it. I’m in Stillwater Mn.

9:24 alot of people being careful of nitrates with all the hoopla that went on in Norway/Europe. Farmers getting hosed!

What’s the recipe your planning to use as forage mix? Corn’s looking really nice, remember chest high on you is shoulder high on most lol. Spoon feeding everything seems to be paying off so far.

You still cultivate? Thays interesting! My dad under impression we couldnt cultivate for partial no til qualification. Idk all this red tape stuff

Our country is in a sad state and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We don't pay attention to what our erected officials are doing and we don't hold them accountable by voting them out. The other sad fact is we learned to vote ourselves money and now its time to pay the piper but nobody wants to pay. It sure looks like you are going to be able to salvage the season. Who makes that cultivator? I wonder if they make a four row?

V3 to v5 i will need to do research! I usually just apply anhydrous pre. Till in. (Goes with that cant completely notill year after year. We till every other. Via rotating crop. Corn Planter can no till, but we had problems with too many wash outs doing straight no till. Odd! Hunh!🤣 Its not fantastic system, but works pretty good. We dont typically side dress, but im open to new ideas. Ill check v3-v5 out.

Best crops we've seen since 20, now rains missing us corn turning yellow at 6ft. If doesn't rain tonight supposed be dry for another week gonna be sad! 4th year of being tested

Beautiful corn 🌽 what yields are you looking for what you row space

In case im not clear. Zero of whay I've said is criticism. Im just questioning. Why, how, for what reason. Different soil types and different climates require different approaches

Yeah! You cant completely notill year after year.

Im so sorry to pontificate sooo much! Yes! The "eyesore from the road!" Omg! Yeah! It dont look pretty! But itll make money! I het a nice mowed yard and field side...but thats money and time wasted for appearance daring back to castle times! But people like that! So we need to do it!🤪🙄 Could be doing 100other things! And leisure not 1 of them! But gotta make ot pretty! Fk that! I want functional! Why im worried about my bean rates! Looks beautiful! Yeah! Now! This fall? Heres that Trusting God! Just as pretty doesnt Taste better in regards to food. Same goes for crops, looks pretty doesnt mean better yield. Yield is the goal! Do not pass go! City folk like pretty. Cant eat pretty, and pretty dont pay bills...in fact, looking pretty costs! Is it a detriment to plant? Anything aside from crop is a hindrence. But also! Too much crop can be a hindrence. They all fight and grow and grow! And produce nothing!!!!

They say GOD never gives you more than you can handle... the part they leave out is "with HIM!' Not judging! (Txt so hard to give proper answers). HE justs want to make sure youre working together. And not together for the "benifits". Sometimes, its just "Do you Trust ME?" And to that i say "Yes! I do! But how am i to know if maybe i should be doing something more! Replant! Extra fertilizer, extra herbicide! Or am I to Just Trust?" Just Trust, works 98% of the time. "Be still, and know I Am God." Yeah! But im supposed to work! I dont wanna be lazy!😅

Everything is a test, just ask Jobe.

Im knew here, idk tour latitude, aka growing season, corn seems short. Just saying. And im assuming this not weeks ago recorded

It doesn’t matter Biden’s USDA says record crops everywhere 🤦‍♂️

Brother! Trust God! Despite the outcome! Thou He slays me! Ill trust HIM! And Trust me! As a fellow farmer! I feel the worry and the stress! Im fortunately only using antacids once every other week!😅 and if you knew my soybean issue... youd be like why arent you worried!?!? And id say "Idk. I should be, and at times i am. But its such a good cover crop, idk i need to spray!🤣 maybe i need to get a hoe and chop some out? So they dont fall down this fall!?!???" Whats done is done! Window of time. And time is passed. Just gotta make the best of a bad situation, and pray! Bcuz Honestly! All our best attempts, still rely solely on the weather. Aka GOD!
