Hahaha, yes they are getting a bit more comfortable around the camera!

Thanks!

We never planted clover by itself, we planted clover that was premixed in the bags of seeds we planted. The drill does a good job planting the clover in the mix, and I have no doubt it would plant only clover just fine. You can really dial the settings in just right to plant anything you want and at whatever rate you want, we always just go with whatever rate the bag of seeds recommends to be planted at, every no and then we plat at a little heavier rate, just to get a little better coverage, due to brows pressure.

Thanks!

We called RTP outdoors, they are the company that makes the genesis drills, and we ordered the drill through them and they went through our local dealer to deliver it to us.

I really enjoyed it!

Lol

Yes, everything we have planted were mixes. And one of the mixes we used had corn in the mix, but besides corn, the largest seed that passed though the drill was corn and soybeans, and we never had an issue.

We planted Green Cover Summer release mix last year.

I'm glad you enjoyed this video Mark! We do own the property, we own about 560 acres, and this video was showcasing only 80 acres that we had logged this past fall.

We are located in Mississippi, about 30 minutes south of Meriden

👍 cool, I didn't say you have to use it, I just explain what we do on our property, it's not like we take a bath in the stuff, and round up is the name brand, the chemical is called glyphosate buddy.

@@turkeyridgeadventures3467 cool buddy. Just letting you know if you didn’t as I wasn’t really sure you knew how to read. Oddly the name just because it’s named Roundup doesn’t change the fact that glyphosate causes cancer. OH by the way I was raised on a 1200 acre cattle ranch and we refused to use the stuff cause we learned better. Lol

You know what else causes cancer? Sunlight. So you should stay inside more than you already do. Keep believing everything you see on the internet and come up with better insults than accusing someone of not knowing how to read.

I have found Isaac that most counties have no-till drills to rent, it might not be exactly what your looking for but they do have them, we actually rented one from our local county before we decided to purchase the genesis no-till drill.

@@turkeyridgeadventures3467 ours has one available, but it a MASSIVE agricultural one. 100hp minimum, 125hp recommended.

We don't have a crimper yet, this is why we spray glyphosate.

@@turkeyridgeadventures3467 you could weld angle iron on a roller and have a homemade one relatively cheap

@@dan7131 we actually do have a "homemade" one in the works, I hope to show it in a future video!

It definitely was, very interesting also, they all worked very well together.

We normally use around 2 ounces per gallon, it's a judgement call really because the tank never gets completely empty, there is always 2-4 gallons left in our 15 gallon tank whenever the sprayer stops spraying, so we eyeball it most of the time, but we try to get around that 2 ounces which we know is more than enough, I think recommend is only 1 ounce per gallon.

If I had to guess Scott I would say around 4-6 mph, not that fast honestly, someone could definitely walk along side of me while I plant. The manual says to not go over a certain speed but I don't recall what it was, maybe 10mph or so was to fast. What I'm trying to say is I go relatively slow, but you could go faster and cover more Acers faster.

Thanks

Lol hopefully so, and believe it or not we honestly don't put out that much compared to a lot of others out there, we put 3 sacks of corn in each feeder and run the feeder twice a day for only 8 seconds, the 3 sacks we put in last about a month before we have to put more in.

Thanks Adventure Rhoades!

Thank you! I will have to check that out!

That ain't no joke hu? But that's ok the summer food plot did it's job.

Thanks Mark! We do have people working on our road that know what they are doing, I'm just a guy making TH-cam videos of what I think is going on, but I was told that they will be bringing in more rock to put around the culvert, not just the ones they will be digging out from the creek.

Thanks Brian! Good to know info!

Thanks! I figured it would be!

Yeah they do look a lot like corn don't they? Lol it is very similar, but it's milo.

The total acreage of our property is around 560, as far as food plots go we estimate we have about 6 acres we plant for food plots.

@@turkeyridgeadventures3467 you are certainly blessed...good luck this fall and God bless!!

Thanks Hugh! I will have to go check out some of your videos. I appreciate the support!

The Genesis are some great equipment! I can't wait to do our fall.planting with ours to see how they do! We did soil samples about 3 years ago and this year as well. We did see improvements from 3 years ago because we stopped tilling and we added lime to a good number of our fields over the past few years because of our soil test results. Also we would throw 13 13 13 fertilizer on every field every time we planted no matter what the results said. Now, this year we are changing practices, we didn't add any lime because our results showed our PH was manageable, I wouldn't say it was perfect, but it was within the range we were happy with. Also with fertilizer being so expensive this year, we made the decision to not put out any this year and see what happens. Thanks for your support Lee, if you have any more questions fill free to ask!

Yes indeed, it is a solid piece of equipment, can't wait to use it for our fall planting!

Thanks Kenny I'm glad you like them! Summer gets a little slower for us, we are from South Louisiana, and our property is in Mississippi, in between Laurel and Meridian, a little over 30 minutes from the Mississippi Alabama line, so obviously we don't live on the property, and sometimes its hard for us to get up there to do work and make videos, but I do what I can when we are there! There are more videos to come, I try put one video a week, but sometimes I don't have enough recorded to make one a week, so some might be every other week. Anyways, thanks for the support and hope you enjoy the up coming videos!

@@turkeyridgeadventures3467 good luck this season, check out Turkey Hunter TV for some awesome footage as well. th-cam.com/users/TurkeyHunterTV

We have a John Deere 5045E it has 45 HP and about 3100 lift capacity for the 3 point hitch

Oh yeah we can move at lighting speed! Thought about putting a bunk bed in it to just spend the night in it! Lol

I would imagine so! but it seems like he has a pretty good system going on there. Its like a chaotic mess, he knows where everything is. Also they are just so busy, he said he wants to scale back next year, that he took in to many deer this year.

We sure did! Thank God we did, because it was really dry for us this year!

Same in Missouri, our food plots are two hours from us and they are dry. Used top quality seed but it didn't matter. Drought City

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks Joe! Getting the drill to plant that shallow can be hard to do with the weight of the drill and depending on the soil type. We have really sandy soft soils and I find the drill plants a little deeper than what we set the gages to. Hope you enjoy your drill as much as we enjoy ours!

I'm sorry Tommy, but I'm not comfortable putting the price of the drill down here in the comments. With that being said if you wish to know how much the cost just do a google search for Genesis no-till drill for sale and you will have a good idea what it cost. We have the Gen 5 version. Genesis makes a 3, 5, 8, and a 10 version that I am aware of.

15k give or take

Thanks for letting me know Tom! We just always figured they were some kind of weed that we didn't want growing there, because this was the only field that we had this plant growing on. The deer did eat it, so we knew it was something decent, we just are not as educated when it comes to identifying the different plant types.

Thanks for the complement Tom! I really do enjoy working on the property and managing it for better wildlife. We are learning as we go, and there is a lot of good info out there online, and we hope to improve the property any way we can. we were very happy with our clover fields this year, they did very well! Yes you are right, there was a lot of browse on the clovers, and we have used exclusion cages in the past. We just need to get back in the practice of using them again to see the amount of browse pressure they put on our fields!

The tractor has 45 horsepower.

The tractor has 45 horsepower.

Yeah, its dry for us, I did replant 6 of our fields, haven't been back to the property yet to see if the new replanted seeds took, but praying for more rain that's for sure.

Thanks for your tips Brad! Happy to hear you have enjoyed yours and we are sure happy with ours! Cant wait to see the change in our food plots as the years progress!

If you had one what do you use now?

@@StevenPfeiffer i still use it. I have cattle and it’s good for drilling into larger acre pastures. a no till drill is great but not necessary to have outstanding food plots for wildlife.

YES! Rain is needed for sure! We should have gotten 2 inches or so since this video so that's something. Cant wait to see what it looks like next time we go up there!
