New subscriber for you. Couple things I find great. First I like your intro, "today on the farm", catchy and I like it. Second you do farmers a great service explaining what you do and why you do it. Some of your viewers are probably not farmers and that helps educate. Third, I like seeing the different practices used in this great country as my conditions are much different than yours. Keep up the great work and God bless.

New viewer and subscriber also. Caught my attention with the hybrid85 seed. I've been growing Hybrid85 for 4yrs here in north central Wisconsin. After yrs of planting Pioneer and Stine. Hybrid85 performs just as well! Instead of $200+ bag of seed. Hybrid85 is $85-$105 bag. Definitely save money with non gmo corn. Even without using round up. Sometimes famers need to think outside the box.

I can tell from the color of the soil. Ate you located somewhere near the Donalsonville, GA? I have drug a homemade 4 row spider ripper with planters attached over thousands of acres with a 986 IH. Not a tractor driver here...full fledged operator.....ALL Seed are genetically modified. The main resistance added to the corn is Bt, and that is used in organic operations. The correct term is transgenic.

@PatrickShivers 2 ай бұрын

I’m in Clay county Ga. About 35-40 minutes north of Donaldsonville. The seed industry uses the term GMO to refer to organisms (plants) genetically modified to have the BT gene and be Roundup Ready. While all seeds are genetically modified through selective reproduction, the BT and RR genes were introduced in the lab, that’s why they are referred to as GMO

What advantage is the 3ph stack fold over the pull type, such as the JD "NT" frame? I really only see stack folds advertised in the South, and only see them in southern VA and further South.

@PatrickShivers 3 ай бұрын

It’s quicker on transport and suites our field sizes/shapes. If your fields are symmetrical with straight edges, and are 250+ acres then the pull type makes more sense. In the south the fields are normally highly irregular shaped, and 30-150 acres. We get done with one field, fold up, head down road a few miles, fold down, and start back planting.
