This last week when we were out in Washington State, we saw people with huge ag tractors pulling what had to have been 20-24ft rotary tillers with basket rollers on the back. I was so confused by this, because it wasn't just one farm, we saw it all over the place. Turns out that's what they do for industrial sized flower planting.

That's interesting about freezing the corn seed. I had some extra corn seed from last year, had a nice crop, but this year, so far less than half of that variety germinated.

Corn patch NE AL; fall, chicken manure, light till and cover with black plastic over winter. At plant furrow irrigation and balanced fertilizer in plant furrow. 12", 18", knee high, waist high and titty high side dress nitrogen (I use 3 year old chicken manure) and hill your corn. One more chicken manure side dress after tassle just before silk. Once silk, irrigation water every 2-3 days. 2-3 ears per stalk harvest.

Good Morning Tim, Christy and Dave. Planting season is my favorite time of year. I love the old JD planter that you have. I have an old Allis Chalmers planter that has been converted to a single row unit. If memory serves me correctly you used to have one of the same model AC planters hanging in your garage at the old house in Carmel. It too has a way bigger hopper than what we need for our small patch, but it is fun to use. Keep up the great job, stay safe and God Bless. Signed The Other Tim with Tractors

I have all the plates for it, all metal. I have also used it to plant Green & Purple Beans if it. The Tractor I use is a Formal H, 1939 model or A Allis Chalmers D14 1958 model. For the D14 I have a 2 row side mounted collivator. Like I said, I'm old school.

Tim I'm picky and don't want to rake so much right!! Two things I do is run my tiller with your quick attach straight not tilted all the way forward like it is .... Meaning that tiller needs to run straight up and down and level ! Dont tilt it forward or backwards ! It will work better and rule of thumb that the PTO shaft has no bend or tilt so it also will be running straight as possible ... Second start and stop all at the same end making a furrow about the width of your tiller before the edge of the garden. Meaning stay back about 1 foot from where you want the edge of your garden. Set your cruise at .35 or .40 miles per hour in of course low range and yes always use 4-wheel drive ! While doing any field work it DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE !! No slippage!! Back to tilling stop in the same spot in a row or line on your garden and I crisscross and go over it at least twice !! So on your very last pass, you will end by going down where the furrow is overlapping that 1-foot to the very edge and you will have minimal raking !! Just one width of your tiller !! Have a great season!! It's been so wet here in Central Ohio. We are just now planting our garden here !!

I planted my first sweet corn this year. 4 rows, 25 feet long. I did not put down any nitrogen but I shouldn't need it. I grew green beans on that plot for the past two years so I hope they did their job and put a bunch of nitrogen in the soil! I would love a planter like the one you have. Planting by hand was back breaking work.

Funny I planted 4 year old silver queen this year it had been in the freezer as well and I can say it’s one of the best looking corn crops I’ve had in years. I always keep extra seed in the freezer for just in case type of emergency and try and rotate it out every few years. Just post video myself of planting it this week in my channel as well. Love that planter I have the earthway push deal but it works ok. Lots of doubles sometimes. Hope your corn does well from York SC

When you first did a video on that woods batwing finish mower. I looked into them, I didn't wind up with a woods I wound up with a used Befco (same as frontier) brand. (Paid $3500) Let me tell you I absolutely dread getting on a zero turn any more my 4320 and Befco finish mower are such a blast to mow with and I went from 8 hours to mow my whole yard down to 1 hour 30. 6 mph 12 ft wide, you can trim around anything bigger than about 2 ft in diameter no problem. I feel a skilled operator on a 72 inch zero turn wouldnt keep up with my mower. Tim shows driving pretty slow in these videos, but you can get cruising along at a pretty good speed. With my 4320 I rarely have to let off the pedal in tall grass, B range and full speed all day long. And all the benefits of a cab tractor. I'm actively gathering the Deere components to put a auto steer kit in my tractor. (ITC Extend, Atu 200, 1800 green star monitor)

I’m curious how these fertilizer numbers are derived? 10-10-10 or 12-12-12? Are they arbitrary numbers in the absence of a soil test or have you done a soil test that tells you this is what is needed? I’m a lawn enthusiast so I am very familiar with the fertilizer numbers and what they mean but wasn’t sure if the same principles apply in an agriculture application.

My story starts with selling my massey Ferguson 4770. I did my research and mainly because of Tim’s videos on the 1025r I purchased one new. Purchased 7 jd implements as well from the dealer. Spent more on that tractor then my massey by about 12k Own a little more then 3 years now three point hitch slowly begin to not travel, the full range up or down. Also, the mid deck mower same thing wouldn’t move up and down, took it to the dealer found all the linkage shafts were seized, which are non-reasonable tractor was always stored inside my house garage that’s heated contacted John Deere customer care for goodwill assistance declined based on out of time the tractor has 200 hours on it. Yes, I repeat 200 hours and that’s the kind of service you get from a John Deere after spending all that money never again selling the tractor going back to massey or Kabota do not make the mistake.

Nitrogen is Nitrogen. Figure cost per pound of nitrogen. Divide the nitrogen % by the bag weigh getting lbs of nitrogen per bag then divide by the cost of the bag. 40 lbs of 3-2-3 organic @ $26.00 = 1.2 lbs of Nitrogen. $26 /1.2 = $24 per pound of Nitrogen. 40 lbs of 13-13-13 @ $25 = $25/3.25 lbs = $7.70 cost per pound of nitrogen.
