Great video. while I appreciate Millennial Farmer's humor and content style. Your stuff always leaves me learning something, I really love seeing the technical side of it and the fact you always look like a coal miner afterwards shows that YOU are doing the work and busting your hump to earn a living. Thank you for what you do.
😂 I commented on a video a couple years ago, “if the farmers you are watching don’t look like this then they ain’t doing the work”. I get filthy every day.
Film some of that stuff! You may be the next Veggie Boys. Only stones down here are Native American artifacts. They are concentrated in certain areas in most fields.
Deer are a MAJOR problem here. We kill well over 100 a year in 5 mile radius and it looks like they are still increasing in number. We’ve never used twins. In the mid 90s a lot of farmers went to twins, now nearly everyone is back on singles.
@@michaelwatson7298 in the reds, Lasoda has traditionally been superior to pontiac for me, but this year the pontiacs all sprouted and took off while the Lasoda and yukon golds slowly sprouted over 2 and a half months. Talked to some other guys and they had the same issue.
Looks like you have planted pecan trees in the corner of the pivots, I planted my last corner 7 years ago and now have very little dry land crops. Good you tube
This one is ground driven, the last one my father bought (my brother-in-law still runs it) has pneumatic seeding. Pretty awesome to adjust the seed rate on the fly as you enter a dryland corner.
@@PatrickShivers we run a 7200 12 row front fold for beans and corn. Got a 6 row 7300 for cotton. Either will still run if the monitor goes out. Kinda like the dash in your 4960.
@@LloydSpivey I have a 7000 4 row. I love it. No monitor though. I ride looking back with the lids off and periodically stop on every row to make sure they are all putting out.
The rear (smaller) hoppers are granular insecticide boxes (Temik, Thimet, etc.). That stuff is similar to sand in consistency. A few pounds of it goes a long ways. It’s not used with every crop.
I have the same type planter and I offset the 3 point off center 3.5 inch’s and return plant the same track thus twin rows and much prefer twin rows due to increase yield, grades and row closure.
Patrick should sweet potatoes need to be done the same way and what the model number of you planted do you planted peanut 🥜 corn 🌽 soybeans with the same planter
The stack fold 12 row planter is a 1720 Max Emerge XP. The 4 row drawn planter is a 7000. Field corn, soybeans, and peanuts are all 1720. Popcorn, green beans, butterbeans, and peas are 7000. My tator planter is a Deere also. Its a 216.
Can you just leave the potatoes in the ground. Till you want to harvest? I leave my garlic, ginger, and tumeric in the ground all year. Until want to eat them.
I kill the vines when the spuds are the desired size. I can sell them all as quick as I can get them lifted and bagged. I would be worried leaving them in the ground (if you chose to store them that way) would leave them susceptible to rot and insects (ants love potatoes in drought conditions)
@@PatrickShivers Thank you for reply? So glad you have a ready market!! I will be at Masons Auction in Graceville. Defuniak Springs I think is on the ninth. Some heavy equipment but not a lot.
@@PatrickShivers Not sure if you use level app. But that is what I use or Proxibid for other auctions. I want that rotating log grapple. The chinese one. Want to try it. It's the chinese one at Masons. They have a lot of the chinese baby track hoes there this time. On the 9th I think.
Interesting to see how the planting is done.
Patrick - Thanks for showing the transmission chain/gear change on the planter. Keeping notes on that is really important! Great video!
Thanks for watching Theo!
Very informative video! Thanks for the potato harvesting tip! Good luck with this year's crop! Take care...
Thanks for watching Gator

Nice drone footage guys!
Dat ole 49 in thee back ground is rolling smoke I see 👀 😁
I have numerous videos featuring it. I think one is titled “the greatest tractor ever made”
@PatrickShivers I have 2 of them 49's and they are some good tractors
@@deweypowell2684 you can buy 6 of them in good shape for the price of one new john deere & an exhaust sensor isn’t going to stop it from working
@@PatrickShivers amen brother
Them sweet peas bagged up look mighty good while I'm thinking about it
@@deweypowell2684 I didn’t eat sweet peas until I started growing them. Fresh, not even blanched just straight fresh cooked sweet peas are unbeatable
Great video..I'm a vegetable farmer in nys..love those big fields of yours..and no stones! Wow..I grow potatoes myself plus alot of other vegetables

@@PatrickShivers btw I like your videos when you go to the auctions..you seem to know your stuff
Good job Patrick keep up the good work!
Thanks Cole
We are planting peanuts here to
Where at?
Nevermind, I remember you saying other side of the Flint
Woww how many different things you are doing at you farm. 👏 I wonder if this planting tractor is yours too or are you renting it?
No renting. This tractor is in most of my videos. I average 14 crops a year.
@@PatrickShivers amazing vehicle 🚜
2 questions, do you have problems with deer? Eating your peas and beans? And why don't you use a twin row planter for peanuts?
Deer are a MAJOR problem here. We kill well over 100 a year in 5 mile radius and it looks like they are still increasing in number. We’ve never used twins. In the mid 90s a lot of farmers went to twins, now nearly everyone is back on singles.
@PatrickShivers alot of us here in Alabama still use twin row planters for peanuts. That's why I asked.
It's my second year doing potatoes. I did not know that about the skins. Thanks for the information.
What kind you growing & where are you at?
Santa Rosa County Florida, red potatoes

My dry corners are in pecan trees. I shell and market all my pecans (and others)at my farm store.
Nice potato trick never done that way before. Wonder if it will work on sweet potatoes?
Watch commercial potato (or sweet potato) harvesting videos. The sweet potato guys frail mow vines
That’s rite next to my job I work at white oak pastures
I farm just a few miles down the road. I gave WOP about 1,500 pumpkins to feed their pigs this past winter
I prefer the ground driven planters. They seem to be more reliable.

Hello, Patrick! Another fine video, despite being "amateur"...
😂thanks Luis!
@@PatrickShivers 👌

Howdy Tug!
Are you putting thimet on all the peanuts?
Yes
When you load the seeder its has 2 containers per row.. Do you use the 2nd one? I never knew their purpose...

In the commercial sweet potato farming videos I watch they flail mow the vines. In regular potatoes they typically spray them.
Can you just leave the potatoes in the ground. Till you want to harvest?
