🇺🇸Thanks so much for checking out our channel! MY name is Jim. I was born and raised on a Peanut and Cotton farm in north FLORIDA. My dad started this farm 45 YEARS AGO. As a kid I always loved cameras and was making random videos throughout my childhood.So i've decide to get back to my roots.I hope you enjoy the videos! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE------
You need to listen to your Mother. Cotton in the Jay area got hammered, it's Wednesday and the storm came in.
I usually do. Haha she’s is used to it
Gotta love moms, I've heard that line more than once and it doesn't help to say "Well you think that was bad you should have been here earlier"
You listen to your mother young man 😂 gotta love mom's always looking out for her babies god bless all mother's
Scrotie Mcboogerballs always, She’s a great mother!
amen
Moms, gotta lov em!
i should send you a few gallons of paint.
Enjoying your content keep up the good work NW Ohio 👍
Y’all Have a Nice Semi & Lowboy Trailer
I have learned a lot about maintenance on a cotton picker. We are still getting rain from sally here in Quincy Florida
Over 8in today. Stay safe
Field Rows yea bout the same here and we are still expecting more
I'm about 15 minutes north Thomasville GA and we're up to 8" rain so far and still raining. Going to be a while for we get back to digging peanuts
Same here. I believe we have gotten over 12 inches or so since Friday
We had around 3 in over the weekend so we ain't about the same boat as y'all
Great video! Your channel is growing! I remember when I subscribed there was only a few hundred. You have great content and showing people that Florida isn’t just beach front property. I from the flat woods of North Florida the first exit in Florida off I-75 Jennings,FL Hamilton County.
Thanks Allen. OG fan since the beginning . Thanks for watching
You pick cotton off the field and I process the cotton at the gin... I separate seed off the cotton, including the shell from the cotton, including other garbage including dirt gins work with huge fans, some blow. Other's suck... there's alot that goes into a gin before turning it on... I started at 17 helping my dad... by the time I was 19 I ran my own GIN in LEESBURG GEORGIA. I brought my crew and at 19 I looked like I was 13 years old... our boss said, WHO'S RUNNING THE GIN, he ran me off the main STAND what makes it turn on and off... he thought I was someone not qualified he ran me off... in the next city a STATE OF THE ART cotton gin was looking for a processor... I stepped in and said I'M YOUR GINNER, he said if you can turn it on, it's yours... inspected all of it, counted my crew and blew the horn 3 times... you hold down the first button 3 seconds the rest comes on by its self... all I turned on was the heaters, I walked through the gin, make sure everything was working... the next day there's 200 modules around the gin... we got to work, it needs to be broken in a few days before turning it up to max... I enjoy running a cotton gin... I also have 4 helpers, I run 12 hours the next person runs the other 12 hours... make sure everything is running smoothly before changing crews... best thing is the BONUS CHECK... my boss said can you run 16 hours a day, the night shift is broke all the time... he gave my crew $4 raise, we worked 16 hours a day for 5 months... we did about 230 thousand bails... my boss was happy with my crews well done job... he said I've never met anyone that work's as hard as you. My boss was happy with our performance, when we went home I paid for the meals until we got home... 10 year's later, I'm still ginning cotton with the same person where we started...
Love the videos I’m a farmer my self
If those cables are "popping," perhaps they are being caught on something, then finally let go and move forward, like the strings of a guitar being caught at the nut, then the tension gets strong enough to pull it out of the catch ... just a thought. Tell him, Mama. And that cotton picker is quite a machine. Must have cost a small fortune.
I love this channel my dad and I farm together mainly cotton little soy beans little corn and I can relate to so many things on your farm would love to get to come down and tour your farm and learn about the peanut side of agriculture
Got more then 7” of rain here in bainbridge from the hurricane, been raining for 2 days straight. Gonna take a while to dry out!
Thanks for that cotton picker video, it’s been 20 years since I done all of that.
Yeah it’s a lot of work getting that thing ready to go!
I forget how many bars in a head but I just love changing them 😂
16 per head, they can be burr sometimes
👍👌🇨🇦❤, listen to mother, young man, she brought you into the world, she looks like she could take you out as well, 🤔😉🤣
Naw she’s way to nice to take me out
So glad I found your channel. You videos are up there with the best!
Thanks Travis!
Hope y'all doing good after that storm. I live in the big bend and got a little rough here. I know it had to be rough for you. Anyway good video and hopefully not too much damage. 👍👍
Thanks just a lot of rain!
Your mum is just looking out for ya Hahahaha. My mum is doing the same thing and we are on two different continents. Don’t know about you, just makes me feel loved.
For sure! That’s what moms are for. Thanks for watching !
Kyle: Hey, your momma's comin' git down!
That one beautiful 3020 my fav John deere
If you didn't waste so much corn you could paint the bins
“I’m not a mechanic”.........and your farming???
Is that a 7.3 or 6.0 and can y’all a service truck tour keep up the awesome work
6.0, yeah maybe film that tomorrow great idea
Than tell mom : Next time you climb up and hold the camera than .... deal ??? LOL
Hey on your bin's it's time you put some rust converter over them so they don't rust thru.
On the truck your calipers don't slide freely that is why you have this massive uneven wear. Check the sliding pins and grease them once-twice a year. It will prevent this from happening again.
Thanks for info. We need to spray all of our bins they are all rusted.
@@FieldRows Anytime bro. If you run into issues feel free to reach out too. Even if it is only for bouncing off ideas and such. We do a lot for business so feel free.
If peanuts have been dug but not picked, do they damage with rain?
If they sit too long they will get weak and when picker hits them the stems will break.
Rain can be a good and bad thing. But I have learned to never curse rain.
You are just making whiskey there bubba
My biggest complaint with the most popular farm channels on TH-cam is the lack of cotton planting. It's not their fault but cotton is my most favorite crop planted in North America. I look forward to seeing you pick your cotton.
Oh yeah cotton picking videos are coming soon. I’ve got a bunch of videos this year of us planting, spraying and everything else cotton related.
We just got ours ready
Well how much did you get over there across the river. We got over 5 inches in around six hours on our side. 3 inches came in two hours. I know you more over towards Marianna. Won't be filming no peanut harvest anytime soon.
Over 8in today. Pushing 12in since last Friday
HAHAHA Even peanut farmers get their asses chewed by Mom!! LOL
It’s been happening for 35 years and god willing It continue for a long time
insurance won't pay for accidents by one handed farm hands, chew his butt Mom, Does Jim know about Jeff? on the weather channel
Jeff Cantore?
Listen to your Mama. She doesn't want her Kid in a wheelchair. Had a friend fall of a ladder from a Mobile home and he was in the hospital for 9 months. Can barely move his hand. Be careful.
Mother knows best, I try to be safe.
Man it just keeps raining here in South Georgia I just want to go pick peanuts!
I hear ya grant, it’s like we got to the super bowl and now we have to wait a week or more to play!
Neat video. It's nice for us non farmers to be able to see all the hard work that goes into growing the crops we rely upon!
Get him mom I like you already !!!
Doesn't the grease get in the cotton?
I hauled steel into the plant inAnkeny,Iowa where Cotten pickers are built.
Awesome, cotton pickers are huge. Especially the new ones.
I just found your youtube page, It's always fun to watch farming videos of types of farming I have never seen. (Joined)
Thanks for watching Ben
@@FieldRows - I'm a retired wheat farmer from Colorado
Your mom is so funny
Hahaha she might not think it’s funny
Listen to ur mother!
Does the rain effect the the peanuts on the ground In any bad ways
If it gets too much and sits in standing water it will.
Gotta love mom 😂 classy lady
No doubt!
My 4 year old is in the process of greasing his spindles and cleaning his doffers.
Better listen to mom if you get hurt who going to fill your shoes
John Morton good point, the farm would not last long of Randy was in charge! Hahaha
Very interesting my Dad’s first cotton picker was a John Deere 22 One row picker mounted on a 730 John Deere tractor! We had to hand pump the grease every morning! It came with a special grease tank that i still have. We got a 2 Row 299 John Deere in about 1964, now that was picking cotton Fast! each bar had an grease fitting, 16 bars in the front and 12 in the rear! That took most of the morning plus filling the water tank. My last picker was a John Deere 9930 many improvements over the years! Of course I had several other pickers over the years!
Thanks Glenn for sharing. Cotton pickers have changed quite a bit since the ole one row pickers.
Good job on the vids
I own a cotton picker repair
Shop n ga. Since 2000
Those picker bars will dry up
Alittle the next time u grease
Orings will swell. But soon u
Will have to takem all out to
Fix properly. Your machine must b getting close to
2500 hrs
Thanks! I believe we are just over 2500
How can any1 dislike this video with a great American farming family that feeds this nation. God bless you & your family. Thank you.
Thanks! Can’t make everyone happy.
Bet your getting lots of rain today 9/16/20. New subscriber , interested in cotton and peanut harvesting equipment . Learning a lot ! So much editing work for a video like this ...... well done ! Im little west of Daytona watching the storm pass near you.
Thanks for watching. Yes a ton of time editing? Especially when you film with 2 cameras. Over 8in of rain today!
Mother's are always right.
Always know best
We were just about ready to start digging our first field of peanuts for the year before the rain settled in here just south of Tifton, Ga. Can’t wait to start harvesting. By the way, just out of curiosity what kind of spindle cleaner do y’all use? We run a Case 635 module picker and started off using Case spindle cleaner as recommended but didn’t do good at all. Switched to Superclen spindle cleaner sold at local JD store did better than the first but was wondering what everyone else is using.
We used always run case, but now the price is the same as Deere so we run Deere. 5 gal to a full tank
There’s nothing better then the sound of a JD exhaust on a picker or stripper, they sound the same! Hope y’all aren’t floating away, stay safe everyone 👍🏼 oh before I forget, I expect a weather action shot with Jeff Cantore 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha Jeff Cantore loves his weather !!! Over 8inches today
I love the sound of cotton hitting the inside of the basket
That's actually the cotton hitting the dog houses the seeds
Me too! Best sound is when the module trucks pick it up then you know your getting paid!
Looking forward to seeing the cotton harvest videos. Can you do an idiots guide to cotton picking. As I am from UK and have absolutely no idea how it works
Thanks. I’ve done a couple on the cotton picker. Will be picking soon so keep an eye out for those videos.
Great balance of entertainment and education with these videos. I am really enjoying the channel. Best of luck with harvest!
Thanks!!
Yeh go mom , you've been told 😁
I’ve been warned
Our mayrath augers is hydraulic it nice but has 4 or 5 leaks in it. How are y'all fairing with sally
Just a lot of rain, over 12 inches or sos concert Friday
Couldn't you take the handle off your auger and use a cordless drill raise and lower it. Like your videos
I believe you can
Yall get a flash flood warning too?
Rozier Shaun nice name
"ponding" is the problem across all of coastal US South. There are good drainage videos posted up in Iowa and Ohio as "back in the day"(100 years ago give or take) they used clay piping as the takeaway. The importance of all that got rediscovered last year after the massive flooding 2018-2019 winter into spring and even summer. Much better season this Year would be an understatement so new drainage systems being installed as a result.
I’m commenting and liking till John Deere sponsors you
Eric i like your thinking!
Me and my son still look forward to watching your videos all the way from East Texas. Ready for some shirts and hats!
Thanks! I actually called a lady today trying to get some hats and shirts made.
Field Rows awesome share the link when they are ready. My wife can make shirts cheap also 😉😂
Keefe squeezed ALL the life outta that rotor. WOW
Yeah he did!
Pro viewer tip.-
Captions on.
You’re welcome.
Is my country accent hard to understand? Hahaha
@@FieldRows not for me but the translator sure has a heck of a time!!
Floating yet?
Almost over 12 inches or so since Friday
hoping y'all weather the storm ok.
Thanks just ALOT of rain so far
Man if I spilled that much corn and didn't clean it up I would hear about that for the rest of the yrar
John Robbins gotta get a downspout, you should of seen all the pieces of tin and blocks we had trying to make a funnel
@@FieldRows yeah I have had 2oe 3 shovels trying to get the grain to go where I want it to I rather be picking cotton anyday
Don't cross mama.
Never !
How much rain did y'all end up with? It stayed just far enough to the east that we didn't get a lot. More wind than rain on our side.
We got 13 inches between Milton and Allentown. Cotton laying down bad. Gonna be a lot of loss
@@sabrinabrianwhite7101 that's not good. I have a friend in Gulf Breeze that got over 2ft of rain.
I believe over 12 or more since Friday, for 8 today!
Hope you made out ok with storm
Pile of rain and more so far
Enjoyed your tiktok live today bud. South central Alabama got about 8 inches
Thanks! That’s my twin brother Randy.
@@FieldRows love your channel man the name of our farm is Twilight Farms I'm the fifth generation farmer and the only one of my generation we are a little over 3,500 Acres
Bud Erwin awesome where you from. That’s a good sized farm! We farm around 1300
Field Rows Do you think twin brother Randy will let me borrow some of your pivots to try and suck up some of the new ponds we have ????
I’m surprised he even knows how to turn on a pivot
Does it hurt the peanuts that have been dug to get rained on ?
Yes. The more they lay in water the weaker the stems get and will fall off as soon as picker touches them
@@FieldRows That sucks
I hope you made it thru the storm okay! I’m praying for ya
Thanks for praying, Jesus always has a plan. For real, thanks!
Field Rows no problem, and also just know that your mom isn’t the only one doing that mess 😂😂
Hell yeah another local
Yeah buddy, where you from?
@@FieldRows liberty County I like supporting locals
I'm honestly worried about your nuts 😁 Can to much rain ruin them?
Thanks you for your concern of my nuts. The long they sit in water the weaker the stems get, when picker hits them they will fall off
