Amazing how one person can feed thousands

I prepped and planted a 20 acre field for horse hay. All I had to use was a 40 HP tractor, three point reverse rotation tiller, three point broadcast spreader and cultipacker. It took me longer than it probably should but it turned out great. It is now one of the nicest and best producing hay fields in the area. Small scale is not a bad thing.

4:10 certified Honda small engine tech here, Yes it was most likely rainwater. No it won't hurt it. Even if some water gets past the exhaust valve it's fine. These get completely hydro locked, you just pull the plugs and crank it and it's fine. I had a guy mix up the lines from his fuel pump, the crankcase vent had the fuel supply pumping gas into the crankcase. He was pouring gas into the top of the carb to get it to start. It locked up in front of me. It was literally hydro locked on one side, and full of gas underneath. That engine currently runs my pressure washing trailer hundreds of hours later. I love these Hondas. 670/690 is so versatile. I'm usually an american-made kind of guy, but I'll buy these Japanese engines all day and night

It's so nice to watch the small farm way. Everything nowadays is electronically based. I prefer the good old days. I found it very relaxing watching this video. It's a 👍👍👍👍 from me. 🌿🍃🚜🚜🚜🍃🌿

In the Original Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles", the Enterprise was carrying Quadro Triticale. Spock pronounced it as you do...so you know you're right......

Love your way of talking and actually teaching. You remind me of living traditions home stead. Where they talk you through the video and you’re actually learning

All I saw was you and your dog out in the field so I'd like to take this opportunity to compliment the doggie on the excellent drone work. Well done pooch! (pass this along. I'm assuming he can read)

Hello Farmer Tyler…hope all is well with you and the family

You need a hand seeder. Attach it to your dogs back , tie a string from his tail to the hand crank on the seeder, then throw sticks out in the pasture, and tell him to fetch. You will have the pasture seeded and fertilized in no time at all.😊

Awesome video, like the New Holland action

Nice job. Love the GPS alternative. Unless you’ve done this kind of work, you cannot appreciate the greatness of your idea.

Looked at the calendar, said time for FTR to plant hay.. Will be anxious to see yield for spring 2022. Thanks for flyin' the drone, great video. How about flyin' the drone over the field in 30-45 days so we can see the growth. 👍💪👍💪

The videos involving hay production are some of my favorites. There's something so pleasant about watching the process, especially with the nice guitar music playing along. Thanks for posting this, Tyler.

I will be watching the hay field as we go along. I don’t think that I have known anyone that grew triticale for hay so it will very interesting to me. The field looked really good when you were done. Once again you got excellent camera angels and the two fisted drone flying / tractor driving was great. Good luck with the hay crop this year !!! Thanks for the video, always so appreciated.

You make me wish I could still farm

I think fields look so pretty after they been work and planting

Nice straight rows, good ground no big rocks to hurt anything, nice sunset, calm voice and a shot of the cows at the end, nice, just living the dream.

We make a fair amount of triticale, mainly because it’s cheap and we can double crop it. It’s a fine line of when is the best time to make it. If we make balage and it’s really wet then it gets butyric acid and makes your hands stink but the cows seem to like it, ive made it dry and they don’t seem to like it very much and the heads have beards that seem to annoy the cows.

Love your videos and your stories. Where is Callie while you drive the tractor? KUDOS for driving the tractor while flying the drone. 🚜

As always a great video. Pup looks like she's doubled in size. See you next week.

Thanks for letting us hang out with you while you did your seating project looks good at least you got the moisture in the ground help snap them seeds

This is the first time I've seen you do this on your farm

I love the way you explained everything single detail I felt like I could farm tomorrow 😅 I wish I had an opportunity to do that keep up good job 👏🏿

Way kewl omg I can’t believe all the different equipment you have to use to grow hay !! Can’t believe you do all this by yourself ! Unreal

I have been watching you for a year now, it was basically this video last year when I started watching, pretty cool

Two questions: what fertilizer do you use on that field? And how to you keep the weeds from coming up?

Sure was a beautiful sunset good job as usual! 💪👍😎

Thanks for taking me on the ride. I have 11 acres not flat like yours. Hopefully i can make hay for our animals

I enjoyed all the camera angles of your hay planting process, but especially liked the cloud time lapse. The hay field looks great. Wishing you a good yield this year.

First time viewer; I love all the camera work, especially when I had to duck to avoid the drawbar and then took one to the forehead from the front weight pack. lol

Thank you for taking the time to make the great drone shots.

love the way you explain things to us not so farm people .....you are so awsume in your wways on the farm i wish i had a field or even a farm . you are so great at your farm thank you for taking us along for the ride ....love it all thanks from seattle washington

It’s very hard to justify the cost of GPS. Smaller farms have to improvise to stay in the game. Enjoyed watching.

You can't beat a long day of tractor therapy.😁

When I used to do yacht sailing and navigation they used transit marks for swinging the compass and entering and leaving harbours . Quite simply two marks and you line the yachts up on them quite fool proof till some fool pinched one then you lined a compass on the remaining one

Well done. Nice and symmetrical. Gives you a good feeling doesn’t it.

First time to see and loved the complete planting.

People like you or me don't need GPS great job.

Your videos are growing on me 🙂 keep up the hard work sir

Thanks Tyler one busy Man 6-13-2022👍🏽👍🏽

Hope you get a good crop. Thanks for the video.

Tyler. You should of had them mix the Trit in with the fertilizer and spread it all the once. Would have saved you a pass. We do it all the time up here in Idaho.

I love your videos. You’re a nice guy, down to earth, transparent. Real.

Hi Tyler! Hope everything is well with your family!

Sure looks like great soil! Nice flat field and no rocks. With that moisture your Triticale will jump out of the ground and be off to a good start.

Great Job!...

I knew when you had rain it was time to plant! I not even a farmer but, I would have love to had the chance! Callie look great! the field looks good as well! Great vid Tyler!

Wishing you a bountiful harvest! Thanks for sharing!

Know what “The Fonz” liked to plant? “Hayyyyy,”. Sorry - it’s all I got. It’s late.

I learned something from this today. Thank you!

Good practical farming, low tech and simple fits the bill. Very creative use of paper bags. You are good at sighting and surveying! Watching you carry out the routines of farm life up close (how did that phone not fall off?) and from the air (great drone shots) is really enjoyable. Nice to watch someone else work hard, and smart too! You really are good at sharing your practical knowledge! Life long learner for sure. Thanks for making these videos, and for your guitar music.🎸 I look forward to each Tuesday’s release. Farmers feed cities! Stay well and safe. Thanks! Greetings from Canada🇨🇦

beautiful sunset view. thanks

Love your videos! Thanks for being so inspiring.

They have apps for your phone that are suppose to give you the same results as a GPS and will save you time in placing and removing the bags. Great videos!

That looks soooo relaxing 😌 mybe I should learn hay farming

Nice video Tyler! Nice to see moisture not dust. The Triticale should make some good hay for them there cows! By the way your four legged baby is getting big. Thank you for sharing:-) Stay safe and healthy:-)

great cinematography 🧐 💯

pretty impressive...i won;t feel bad buying hay this year...knowing all what's involved...rough work and then there's fuel and maintenance-wear and tear on tractors.

This is my wife’s account I just use it haha. Triticale is what I plant for our cattle and I am a huge fan!

Field looks good, glad your planted and that the soils tolerated the work after the rain we had. Was wondering why you changed up your usual seed choice?

Got some pretty country out there Mr. FTR

Trying to figure out what to do with our draught pastures. Great job filming on this.

Are you sowing triticale for the first time? It is very possible that it is a Polish variety of "Lasko". Known since 1982. The variety most often used in cultivation in the world. One third of production is in our country. There are spring and winter forms of this species. Winter triticale is sensitive to the sowing date. It spreads in the fall. But there is hardly any frost in California. Better for animals than wheat and rye. Good luck with your development. I wonder how it will work in the Californian climate. God Bles FTR. :)

Hellofarmtylerranchhope u doing well God bless it family

How soon before the seed starts to sprout? Enjoyed watching with my morning coffee. Thanks.

Looking Good. Now pray for rain.

Before I got a GPS I used a cheap bike wheel type measure from Harbor Freight and 3/4" PVC pipe driven for passes.Fert price increase and acreage increase made getting a GPS very justified.

Cool... In India we do it in different way may be because of the small land parcels than you have.

The field looks great! That was a lot of work to get done in a day and half. I am interested to see the triticale hay next year. 👍

You have some nice soil there. Where I am at, it has a ton of rock so prep is a lot longer. What you did looks good.

Was doing a search for something on my plasma cutter last week and you popped up doing a video on it that I expect was some time ago!

Do you think the fire has helped the field at all? Maybe in the spring you might be able to tell if there's any difference, just a thought. Nice to see a damp field and hope you get some more rain.

Great video

Looking good. I saw you out there the other day, I was wondering what those bags were for. I have walnuts down the road. Take it easy! -Jack

Love watching your videos Tyler. I was wondering how Buddy is doing? 🐂😊💙

Terticale is good on the drier conditions, they used to plant that a lot in the south of Portugal(my country) it is very very dry there, you can’t grow corn there without irrigation.

Old school ways still work! If technology ever completely failed how many farmers, solely reliant upon GPS, would be be able to function? Fertilizer is incredibly expensive right now…we just went through our planning for 2022 and the cost for our planting next year is outrageous! Midwestern farmer here, so I have a few questions if you don’t mind. Will you get multiple cuttings off the triticale planting, or is this one and done like your three grain forage mix? Secondly, does the triticale require you to reseed next year? Finally, is alfalfa utilized much in your locale in California? (Thought process is trying to find something that allows multiple cuttings, and not have to reseed every year.)😂

Hi.I really appreciate your video.please when does plant the wheat?

A fine job. But perhaps the sequence is better for my next cultivation of new beans. To get the seed not stepped on back by tractor

New subscriber here! Great videos, I just watched a bunch of them. Your size farm is inspiring to me as I want to move to alaska and homestead. Im currently looking for about 50 acres and want to grow on about 20. What brand of broadcast spreader do you have? Look g forward to seeing your channel grow

that the seed they us for dairy cows, that is hell of of bags... to cut open and dump i think last year u planted with no rain at all money in the ground great day

Hello I use old chemical drums to line my tractor up, they are yellow just put a like bit of water. Down under

What analysis was the fertilizer that you applied? Here in west TN we always get the seed mixed with the fertilizer so that we only have to make one trip over the field with the spreader. Nice video.

"Back to the Future" as small farms increase productivity by an order of magnitude over ahem "big ag" ahem absolutely.

I am still curious about needing to plant hay. Here in the midwest, it comes back every year. Also the guy telling you about Mr. Spock is right.

I used rocks, I had plenty of them for free, everyone likes FREE !

Another great Tuesday video. I enjoy drinking my coffee ☕️ and watching those soft fluffy white clouds float by. I have questions? 1. Why the change in seed? 2. How long until there will be little sprouts? 3 How long until you harvest? 4. And most importantly, how is bottle calf? Great video as always. I love the variety of camera angles, makes me feel like I’m right there. Nice work. Also Callie is doing really well with staying close to you but not too close to the farm equipment.

great job, cant wait for the bull issues lol hugssssssss

New subscriber here Just wondering what time of year this was planted in? The video dates from November 2021 is this when you planted? I’m getting ready to plant my first hay field and was wondering how late it can go in

Yay for hay!!! 😁cheesy?

good job 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

Is soil compaction a concern, especially with the abundant moisture?

Exactly the subject matter i want to understand. Is it necessary to re-seed every year? Can we do a seed that regrown every year?

How big is this field and how much time did it take to get this done? Also how much hay were you expecting and how much did you get?

There is nothing better than turning new dirt. I think if you had a drill , the planting would be better.

Tyler Do you use any Herbicide on the fields while preparing to plant hay?

I'll still give you a thumbs-up though

S tine cultivator and cultipacker

Oh oh I saw a puppy dog !
