Planting Sorghum Sudan Grass/John Deere Guy on International?/Future Farmer on Ford 9N

With the Winter Rye cut, Alan decided to work the piece and plant Sorghum Sudan Grass as well as seeding it in with Alfalfa, Orchard Grass, and Trefoil. Paul finished up dragging the piece with the International 1066 Tractor, but Justin got to get behind the wheel of the 9N Ford Tractor and roll the field. After Justin finished, Alan started planting with the Case 830 Tractor, John Deere Planter, and Brillion. On the field West of the farm, Jen's Dad, a notoriously loyal John Deere guy, was behind the wheel of the International 1066 rolling it while Alan planted the Sorghum Sudan. Is Jen's Dad going Red?
The next day had chances of rain, so we decided it was a good day to check the back fence line along the Kettle River and let the cows out onto the back pasture.

I had that same JD drill. Nice piece, I don't ever remember working on it much. I like the brillion, I always broadcast alfalfa ahead of drilling oats for cover. Sudan is a nice choice. As much shade as you throw on JD, you sure have a bunch of green on that farm. And besides, I'll swear Jen's dad had a bag on his head driving that thing. Best regards from Indiana.

Yes, an older Ford tractor is a GREAT tractor for kids to learn on. Also for older people. We farmed with 4 horses and in 1958 when I was 13, my dad( age 68) bought his FIRST tractor. I begged him to get a JD B , Farmall H, or Moline R similar to what our neighbors had. No, he bought a 1949 8N Ford and said....." I am too old to step up high to get on those other tractors"

Alan, sorry I'm technologically deficient between TV and computer and flip-flop phone. I've been watching on TV for three months not realizing I could comment on the computer. At Ed s we would have used a cultimulcher it's 10 foot wide three rows of rollers and two rows of single tooth five teeth in a row. It's all hydraulic for transportation, but if you're inside ground you may want to keep the teeth up separately. Justin is doing a great job getting it in and out of gears gently. Jen's dad needs to learn, 's RED is good. Thanks Skip Ruckert

We did the same thing for years, then a neighbor said he had a better stand, when he rolled it first, so we tried it and it think it does turn out better. But you want to seed it soon after it's rolled, or it will get to hard.

Yes trying to get over a cold bug Sorghum Sudangrass is a hybrid-derived species of grass raised for forage and grain, native to tropical and subtropical regions of Eastern Africa. It makes excellent forage for cattle.

@french-canadianfarmer5049 2 жыл бұрын

Rolling before seeding is a good idea. How deep were you putting in the sorghum? A few years ago I planted some late July because the oats flooded out. We cut it in early September before a frost. It had still gotten waist high and made really nice feed.

@trinitydairy 2 жыл бұрын

I didn't really check the depth, but I would say about an inch or a little more maybe.

@french-canadianfarmer5049 2 жыл бұрын

When I seeded mine it was mixed with collards and clover so I broadcasted and harrowed. Seemed like the sorghum didn't germinate the best. Drilling is probably better. Looking forward in seeing your crop grow.

As a kid I did plenty of lawn mowing and then it was on to farm work, including tractor hours. I never wore hearing protection until I was an adult and now in my 50s I have significant hearing loss. Please, please teach your young ones about hearing protection. Not trying to pick on you guys but I cringe a little when I see kids near engines with no ear plugs.
