Early Start To 2024 Spring Field Work? Discing with International 1256

The warm weather in Minnesota is giving everyone Spring Fever! With no snow hardly at all this winter, Alan decided to see if he could get a jump on Spring Field Work and start discing. He hooks up the John Deere Disc to the International 1256 and gives it a Spring tune-up before he heads out to the field. There are still a few spots that seem to have some frost but with the weather looking even warmer in the coming weeks, he will be able to finish discing in no time.

Good call if the ground still frozen no need to try to disk it.

@heatherkohlwey8379 3 ай бұрын

It will be interesting to see what this season brings. The ground never froze in southern WI. The moles in the yard never stopped. I hope this doesn't mean that crop diseases and parasites that would normally be reduced by cold weather don't go into a population explosion. Please stay safe, and God bless.

The last time we had a winter like this ( in SE Michigan) was Dec. 2011- March 2012. Summer 2012 was hot and dry. I kind of expect that this year. There is some water setting in some of the fields at the moment. If only we could save it for July and August!

Have you ever thought about putting up a building somewhere on your property so that you don’t have to work outside when the weather is cold or nasty outside it’s just a suggestion because I know as a farmer kid my dad wasn’t a fan of working on equipment outside when it was cold or the weather was nasty outside

@trinitydairy 3 ай бұрын

Yes, we did, thank you! The Gehl box had the floor rot out, and when the owner was running it, the whole chain came up and wrecked the back end. All the usable parts are out of it. The owner still wanted the running gear, but he gave me the box.

Wouldn't start tillage to soon. Just dries the ground out faster than need be 😊

Yeah..I'm North of yous guys about 1.5 hrs. I went out walking in the fields this morning and was thinking the same thing. I had a little more frost still hanging around yet. But almost like yours probably in a few days. Up here in Siberia it's way lucky we can get in the fields this time of year. Normally we've got 18-30 inches of snowpack and just now coming out of -30s this time of year. It's a blessing we can get in this time of year. Anyone planting Ogle oats down there? I'm up by Aurora. I saw Rock Creeks Consignment sales on for early April.

@HowardFarms1 3 ай бұрын

@trinitydairy how did they do? I planted Deon last year. Decent straw and grain yields were at 82 bu/ acre. I've been looking at MN pearl this year. But I really like Ogle Oats. Where is a good place for seed?

@trinitydairy 3 ай бұрын

I was happy with them, for how dry it was, I'm not sure what the Bu per acre was. I got those at Federated co-op in Moose Lake. But I think triple z farm supply by Pine city, might have them too. But that's probably a long haul for you.

@HowardFarms1 3 ай бұрын

@trinitydairy it's a drive...but maybe I'll set up a stop at moose lake on way back from Heidelbergers sale first part of April to pick up some seed. Thanks for info. What Corn variety do you plant and what's the maturity days on it? This is tough corn country. 72-78 day max. I have used sweet corn up here before for silage.

Hello, I hope your family is doing good, Do you think it would be possible to own a small dairy farm with a small herd and also have a daytime job? Is that a realistic possibility? I have a huge passion for dairy farming and have a background in dairy farming.

@trinitydairy 3 ай бұрын

It's a lot of work, but it is possible. I drive school bus, but with Jen and the kids around, they do a lot of the chores. When we first started, I worked at a parts store, part time, and milked about 20 cows, but it was a lot of work!
