A little late but i had A lot of things to do we did first cut gras into the bunk and try to get the cornground ready for planting so i have to catch up a view blogs, anyways the ground looks Nice compared to youre gravelpit last week, thanks Mike have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
A little snow in May is not too uncommon. A couple of years ago I drilled 25 acres of oats, next day there was 6" of "white mulch" on top of it. BTW, that is a really nice looking field!!.
Good to see you Mike. Going to be another busy day. Im from Spencer originally so your close to home . Hope its a great day for you over there in Upstate.
Great video Mike,that river bottom ground looks really nice! I live along the Susquehanna River here in PA which floods a lot too but the ground is always productive.
Pretty view with the river right next to the field. Hopefully the river behaves and stays within its banks for you this year. I was planting corn last week with snow flurries. Its been a strange spring for sure.
The reason why we chisel is for a few reasons. its faster than moldboard plowing. With the shanks going into the ground it helps break up compaction. We still moldboard sod ground we are plowing up. With ground that has already been soybean or corn we dont want to turn the ground over we want to rip up the ground to plant again
Hi Mike, the NY DEC might put some rip rap boulders along that bank if you contact them. It's worth a shot. I think NY State might be cutting back though on conservation, but i'd still try if you want. nuther nice vid, alway's enjoy.
Hi Mike! Love the videos. I just have one question I noticed there are no trees along the river bank. Without tree roots holding the soil together won’t the river keep eating away at your fields?
It never use to be as big of an issue but seems like as of late its becoming an issue. Planting trees now might not have the roots to hold for many years when it's too late im afraid
Thanks Lonnie. When you moldboard plow you are turning the ground over when you chisel plow you are putting the shanks in the ground and ripping the ground
@@lonniecurtis3540 I got videos of the chisel plow where you can see things getting ripped up then I have one from last year moldboard plowing. You can see the difference
Thats for sure. Most of those tires around there are from the hay wagons. Our original plan was to get new hay wagons this year but we weren't able to sell some old equipment at the local auction to pay for the new equipment so its time to get all the old hay wagons up and running

Thank you. Glad to hear things are going well
I enjoyed the ride along as you were disking and also with the roller-harrow. Also thats nice lookin silos you have. Thanks for showing a good video.
Thanks Brian. I always like seeing blue silos too

Thank you. I was really happy with the way the field turned out
Nice video Mike hope planting season going for you guys
Thank you Walter
Good to see you Mike. Going to be another busy day. Im from Spencer originally so your close to home . Hope its a great day for you over there in Upstate.
Thanks John. Thats pretty cool I think Spencer is like a hour away
Great video Mike,that river bottom ground looks really nice! I live along the Susquehanna River here in PA which floods a lot too but the ground is always productive.
Thanks Mike. That's some nice ground along the river
Very nice video mike, some repairs go a long way , we got some corn planted now
Thanks Jeff. Glad to hear you are starting to plant
Pretty view with the river right next to the field. Hopefully the river behaves and stays within its banks for you this year. I was planting corn last week with snow flurries. Its been a strange spring for sure.
Yeah its definitely been a strange one. I hope the river behaves too. Gonna be some nice corn if it does
Hey Mike....question...why do farmers chisel plow more now..rather than moldboard plowing?
The reason why we chisel is for a few reasons. its faster than moldboard plowing. With the shanks going into the ground it helps break up compaction. We still moldboard sod ground we are plowing up. With ground that has already been soybean or corn we dont want to turn the ground over we want to rip up the ground to plant again
Great video. One day it's 70, the other it's snowing, and then it's raining again lol
Its like rolling the dice
@@mikep7810 lol ya your right
Have you ever looked into using a field cultivator with a trailing cultipacker? It might save you a trip.
I really like the job our disk does on our ground. We've had good luck with plowing, disking, then rolling
He loves wasting fuel and time would go faster like you said Brian

I appreciate it Mark. Glad you enjoyed the video
Que hermoso suena el 4040 me encanta!!
Gracias. Es debido a una puesta a punto importante
Don’t you just love battery tools. Makes jobs sooo easy!
They have come a long way and make things easier now!
The weather can be deceiving and great job on the roller and how old is the roller
We bought that used. Im not sure the specific year. Im pretty sure its early 2000s or late 90s
I can't wait for chopping videos also. I took your last comment down so your cell phone number wasn't posted online
New York weather! Snow on tuesday and boomers on friday! Always something!
Its definitely been strange thats for sure

Thank you David
Nice shirt Mike 😊
Thank you Todd
Nice video mike keep up the good work and be safe up there in up state ny .can you do video on you milking cows pleas2
Thank you Kevin. Its very rare that I do any of the milking
@@mikep7810 ok if you can't that's ok
I turned on the water this morning and rusty mud came sputtering out. The well went out. Seems we're both having a rough start to the day... 😐
Geez thats not good. Hopefully your water gets better
hi Mike looking good. I just buzzed my hair off for the warmer weather to ha. whats difference from plowing and chiesel plowing. later Mike.
Thanks Lonnie. When you moldboard plow you are turning the ground over when you chisel plow you are putting the shanks in the ground and ripping the ground
Chisel plowing breaks up the subsoil where moldboard plowing rolls the dirt over.
@@mikep7810 thanks Mike ok.

Hey Mike how you ever thought about GPS on your farm it's really good? ???
You mean GPS in the tractors like auto steer?
@@mikep7810 yes that's what I mean
@@keydanTheMan614 I think i do a pretty good job at keeping my rows straight
So is that Andy’s old tractor?
Yes the 4040 was Andy's old tractor
👍👏👏👏
Thank you!
Next, tryout for Nascar tire changer lol
Hope all is well Bud 👍
Haha I better get a lot faster if I wanna be on one of those crews!
Started the video with a Ford in it's natural habitat with the hood up hahaha
Haha, sometimes things write themselves
are u in cortland
No, South of Cortland
Farm tires always seem to dry rot before they wear out around here lol Mother Nature needs to be on some meds I think :)
Thats for sure. Most of those tires around there are from the hay wagons. Our original plan was to get new hay wagons this year but we weren't able to sell some old equipment at the local auction to pay for the new equipment so its time to get all the old hay wagons up and running
You love to burn fuel
Love it
Global warming or climate change hahahaha they will think of some way to blame it on us don't worry I bet it is going to be my cows fault
Its definitely strange, thats for sure
