I live in SW Ga and work with Farm Bureau. Keefe mentioned Hurricane Michael. It was the worst storm I had ever seen until Helene. It’s double the damage in Georgia that Michael caused. Thanks for thinking about all those affected! I know all the rain on y’all’s peanuts is killing your yield. Farmers always say maybe next year will be better! God bless y’all!
Wow how peanut farming has changed. Back in the mid 70’s, we dug, inverted and combined peanuts two rows at a time. Used a Lilliston combine and a 4020 John Deere tractor.
Glad you got mostly rain and not a lot of wind. Hopefully peanut losses are not too terrible. Now we've got Milton coming our way over here in Northeast Florida once they make up their minds where it will hit and direction it goes from there.
As you know, yields can vary significantly from one cultivar to the next. You mentioned being timely and proactive with fungicides, fertilizer, soil amendments, and other inputs so I doubt that caused reduced yields. With not knowing cultivar, planting date, things of that sort, I would say poor wet climatic conditions in May paired with a hot and dry June and early July likely delayed flowering or aborted flowers/developing pods. Just a couple of thoughts from a Plant Pathology grad student at UGA.
It seems like the cotton we had already defoliated fared better than the cotton we hadn't sprayed yet. We had about 170 acres of peanuts picked 70 acres dug and laying on top of the ground. And about 100 acres still left to dig. Cotton harvest this year will be more of a scrapping operation instead of picking
Hey Jimbo! My east tennesseans are hurting bad. Its bad as it gets an media isnt covering it like ot is, pray for those families it's a war zone over there. God blyan love you guys
In 1989 we had to weld expanded metal on the right side of liliston hi caps because they kept falling in and the belly( cleaning) fan kept sucking in mud. Two rows at a time. Ask your dad about that year. I'm in colquitt county, so I'm sure, he had the same problem.
Hey Jim, there are three types of cowbirds, bronze cowbird, brown headed cowbird, and the shiny cowbird. The bronze is mostly in Mexico and the southwest states. It winters in parts of southern Florida and the Louisiana delta. The brown-headed lives all over North America and the Shiny is from the West Indies and was brought to Florida in the mid eighties. So your white birds are most likely a Gull or Tern of some type. I would need more details on the birds to identify them better. They flock the fields all over the USA farmlands.
Yes, they are one County over from us. Pecan orchards totally destroyed. Cotton scattered all over the ground.. We were lucky and our power was restored late Tuesday evening. But there are places just to the north and west of us that probably won't have power for another 4-6 weeks.
damn the looks of it i would look at a couple crews to use a true straw broom and scoup and put them in your UTV or RTV with the dump beds i would double check your fert rates and what really hit the ground i know a farmer that did a double take on that one year and they ended up not getting target rates down only about half the rate needed
I feel your pain guys.. Tough harvest conditions. Just curious do you guys carry crop insurance? We do on out spring wheat,canola and soybeans.. Hope it drys up down there. Good luck.
Could it be pollination? Consider Retain at bloom to triple the life span of bloom? No idea how that works with peanuts underground? Some sort of PGR should help..
Good to see y’all, hate to see the low yield on the goobers Jimbo, hopefully yields pick up. Nothin quite like a trailer tongue in a fire ant hill🤬y’all take care and God Bless🥜🇺🇸🥜
Worked on peanut farm 2012-16. Grew 800 acre each year, and rotated corn and milo. 3.5 ton first year here in North Mississippi. Total rebuild on 3 twin rotor Columbo's after 2 years. After 4 years, I knew those machines inside and out. Loved farming, hated the farmer. Left and went to work at the ammo plant in welding and maintenance. Other than marrying my wife 30 years ago, best decision I ever made!

I am so sorry for you guys over there. My thoughts are with you and everyone affected by that horrible hurricane. God be with you all!!
Thankfully we just a lot of rain and a little wind, could of been much worse
Alright, Field Rows, just in time for the weekend, I'm going to save this until I get home and can enjoy it without distractions.
Great video man that’s a lot of good look in peanuts in the wet praying the rest of the harvest is good

We have a 2 row Lilliston that dad ran back on the day, I think at one time he had 3 or 4 of them.
Prayers for you and your farm. Hope things are better next year.
Glad to hear you are all safe.
Crops, homes, businesses, lives! Sorry for everyone's losses. Praying for everyone East of us. Thomas and Phyllis, North Mississippi!

Now we've got Milton coming our way over here in Northeast Florida once they make up their minds where it will hit and direction it goes from there.
Thankfully looks like Milton is gonna miss us
Great video as always!!
Great drone videos, glad you are able to salvage some of your crops.

Keep up the good work lads
Waving @ Captain & Mrs. Alter over there!! :)
Glad things aren't worse for you but they sure could be better! Keefe is such a serious worker. He could never be out flying a kite! lol!
Im pretty sure he was flying a kite

I love these legumes.

Keefe for President 2024
Make Common Sense a Thang Again !!
Enjoyed your video thanks for sharing 👍👍
Keefe only would've gone for it if it was was a James Moose Tractor
The Mooose would have made it for sure! Especially with the all new automatic traction boost
Good content! Take care and be safe...
Glad you all came thru Helena ok and I know what kind of sucks those are ….they are the kind that swim and poop a lot
Great video the good Lord was watching over us prayers to all those that were affected by the storm

Sounds like it's the variety that yall planted the 06gs are playing out
I feel your pain guys.. Tough harvest conditions. Just curious do you guys carry crop insurance? We do on out spring wheat,canola and soybeans.. Hope it drys up down there. Good luck.
Egrets. Cow birds is the common name sir
Jim sorry bout the amount of peanuts y’all are loosing from the hurricane. I am from Quincy we got lucky with the hurricane also.
Have you figured out why the peanuts are not making yield yet. Very interesting. Keefe conner is always great. 😊
Who knows haven’t figured it out yet
I was waiting for your video to view how your property survived the hurricane.
Could it be pollination? Consider Retain at bloom to triple the life span of bloom?
No idea how that works with peanuts underground?
Some sort of PGR should help..
A new hurricane is on the way to Florida, you know the course?
They are called Western cattle egret, those birds are resistant
At the 6:00 minute mark, Jimbo is looking craazzy
hahaa good catch
Good to see y’all, hate to see the low yield on the goobers Jimbo, hopefully yields pick up. Nothin quite like a trailer tongue in a fire ant hill🤬y’all take care and God Bless🥜🇺🇸🥜
You should try a electric grease gun they are a game changer
The James moose 1000 would have went thru those bottoms no doubt
Oh yes with no problem
👍
The last time I grew peanuts 5 years ago had great vines spent more money than ever on them and made 4,200 lbs irrigated not good

gotta be starving for more calcium/phosperous
could be
@@FieldRows magnesium too
It's be nice if the picker would vacuum
Are y’all cousins still helping y’all harvest
no they are picking their peanuts now
Get the dry vac out
The proper name is Cattle, Egret Another slang for it is cattle bird So you're right on. Great show, by the way.
Dead soil
