Thanks so much Bruce! I appreciate it buddy! Please share with your friends....every little bit helps. This was the first comment I read this morning..makes me realize why I do these videos....inspired me!
My wife and my two children are seeking this lifestyle. Just purchased about 73 acres in West, “By God”, Virginia. Having a lot of the same issues as you. Thank you for being so informative and, educational. 73 acres is a mid-size farm for a family of four, in WV. Have great water supply and, two major fishing lakes within twenty minutes at both ends of our property. Thank you for your help! Whooooo!!!!
Love your channel! We just bought 8 acres in Hockinson, WA to build a vineyard and our retirement home. I’m in the market for a Kubota tractor to run the farm and you have given me a lot of good input. Thanks! Oh, and the answer is Patrick Henry.
Josh for even better results in establishing a clover plot let me suggest adding a cover crop of 100 pounds per acre of winter rye, or rye grain. One it gives something for deer to eat plus erosion control the fall you plant. 2nd and most important reason is the following spring when the clover really begins putting on top growth, since ladino is slow to establish due to first putting on root growth, it provides weed control the following spring and summer while having enough space for the clover to flourish. Just mow once the rye begins flagging with a bus hog during the summer. Good luck.
Another tip: old tires (cut in half like a bagel) set out on a grid, screwed together (sidewall down) then filled with nonspecific gravel or gravel/sand mix will make a permanent roadbed that WON'T wash out in problem places.
Brilliant, my property came with at least 30 old tires all over. It also came with a half mile driveway with 3 problem spots that wash out. So glad I read your post.
I know this is a old video. But i went to the whitetail innovation meet in Reidsville NC and I got the power plant it I still have some coming up and the plot is 3 years old. Deer bedded down in it and it’s a good plot
Patrick Henry said those words after an afternoon spent in the local pub. He was not drunk just very riled. Pub are different than a bar. Pubs are a place to have beer yes, but it is also a place to talk with friends and have a pleasant day off. a newspaper man was in the pub that day and that is why we have his words printed in the news paper so soon.
I could have sworn he said those words at St. John's Church in Richmond, VA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_me_liberty,_or_give_me_death! If you ever get a chance to tour the church, do it. The founding father George Wythe is also buried there (teacher and mentor to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison).
Great video- glad I found you-I just got done tilling and planting in very rocky soil broke about 20 sheer pins same as last year! I don’t have a cultipacker so I just did a drag harrow over the seeds. I need to get one
we've stopped tilling on the farm recently because what I've found is tillage brings weeds and increases soil compaction. Pulverizing the soil into a fine powder, when it rains it becomes as hard as concrete in some places unless we till in biomass like wood chips which rob nitrogen
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer interesting; my intent was to not till this year because I had put in a radish cover crop last year. I thought it would break up the soil, but it didn’t. How should I deal with compacted soil (clay)?
Wow ! That works great ! It made me think back to being a child when my Grandfater used to hand me a Pitch Fork and a Pick in the Spring time then we mixed in his Chicken Manure by hand now it wasn’t a farm but just his garden years later he did buy a rototiller with a Gas motor but i was grown up and living 1200 miles away !
Hey Josh, great videos. Get a pair of crescent wrenches and leave them in your plastic tool box on the tractor. I keep a leather man and a pair of wrenches in mine on my kubota.
I really enjoyed watching your video's especially the one with the 4 wheeler I have a 500 Honda Foreman Rubicon. I love my machine I cannot believe how you mounted all that on that wheeler it was Awesome to watch thanks for sharing. You really know your stuff I bought some hand guards to put on mine and I wish you were around to show me how its done. or Maybe run a video so I can watch you.
Josh, use the toolbox that is on the tractor and carry a few tools all the time even a screw driver, adjustable wrench, hammer and vise grips. Save steps. I enjoy watching your videos, I am a retired dairy farmer from Wisconsin.
I just finished up my last fall food plot about 10 days ago, I have found that after spreading the seed, I will run the disks over the ground one more time fairly shallow then use my four wheeler to run back and forth to pack the soil (more often than not, pne of my sosn volunteers for that job). I have had great success like that but already have begun gathering the materials to build a cultipacker that can be either attached to my 3 point hitch, or drug by a strong four wheeler.
I welded up a framework of rebar and made a scarecrow for my food plots (what's old is new again)to keep the turkey,doves,deer,crows and anything else that may eat the seeds until it can get up high enough,you may want to try building one (it really works).Good luck with Florence, I enjoy the channel Josh -Jerry
Do you think that the cultipacker would leave too rough of a finish from the rollers for putting in a lawn? Looks perfect for food plots but unsure if it would turn a yard into a washboard :-/ TY!
Have you ever tried using just a sprayer and a spreader for making food plots? Ive had great success broadcasting soybeans then after post spray I add in red clover, radish, turnip and oats. As the deer eat the soybeans the others take over. Red clover does great under full size soybean crop and will produce free nitrogen for next planting season in spring.
Thank you for an awesome channel I have been a long time subscriber. Could you please do a three minute video on your raised vegetable gardens? I am going to be building a few raised gardens myself this fall. Best Regards, Ryan
Yep wrong time of year for that food plot mix. Frost will get it. I would steer clear of that seed brand WAAAY overpriced and hyped. You can get the same results buying seed at your farm coop.
"Drop it in wet ground, witch we shouldn't do." I bought a new riding mower and push mower this week because the VA gave me 90% and it i used them on wet tall grass😂😂😂😂 they worked great!
Man those seeds were trashed...the only thing that came up was the sun hemp...next year we'll be planting a ton of sun hemp for forage and to establish pastures
nice video. I saw you on Wes channel and subscribed to yours now as well. The video about the Chicken station how to process meat chicken was very helpful for me to make my decision to get some meat chicken from the hatchery you just had visited as well some egg laying as well.
My Dad and I put in a lot of lawns, some times with a mix of grass and clover. We used a water filled roller to pack the seeds down in the soil. Why is a cultipacker used instead of a roller?
A cultipacker is a roller....but much better and more practical than a water filled roller. It's all steel...cuts grooves which helps to entrap the seeds and helps retain water to prevent erosion unlike a flat roller which simply compacts the soil. No water, no rust, no emptying in the winter...and simply put grass/clover and other seeds germinate better with a cultipacker in most cases
Enjoy your videos ... Great job those implements are terrific, but hopefully no vet bills coming your way with the dog losing an eye being so close to your machines.
If memory serves, the "Liberty or Death" quote is part of a speech Patrick Henry made just prior to our War For Independence. I may be paraphrasing, but I believe the full quote should be, "Give me Liberty, or give me Death". Truer words were never spoken. Best of luck on your food plots Josh.
The bad thing about tilling is it destroys soil structure and over time cause perching and runoff. No-Till is king. Otherwise love your videos. Awesome job!
Try a Japanese style tiller with curved blades, soooo much better. Had one of these and after getting a Kubota tiller (Yanmar, Iseki, Mitsubishi...)... lifetime difference.
Helpful hint if you havent already been told or read the operation manual for the tiller: First pass with the tiller... run with the tail board down. It lets the first and biggest clods hit and bounce right back into the blades to break them up better. Second pass... the tail board needs to be chained all the way up. When tilling it then throws the dirt up and out in a loose pattern. This allows the roots of the grass you are trying to get rid of to be exposed to air and kills the grass. If you always run with the tail board down... you are just transplanting grass from one point to another by immediately pressing it back down and making good root to soil contact! Lol! Run my tiller for two years before I set down and read the instructions... felt kida red when I got through reading! Tried it... and dang if they werent telling the truth!
What wind do you plan on hunting that stand? That's an unusual set up.With the entrances on both side of your stand, bedding behind you and your food plot In the front, it seems like your gonna get winded quickly.
Those seeds have fungus all over them. That's basically how mushrooms are cultivated but it requires moisure. Seal the bag, get less fungus growth. It's not necessarily fatal to the seeds, in some cases it helps them germinate by expanding or breaking the shell, much like freeze-thaw cycles. There may even been some microrhizae fungi in there which helps the roots fix nitrogen and radically accelerates growth. Fungi breathe Oxygen like us and release Carbon dioxide. It's got what plants crave! ;)
Patrick Henry is said to have proclaimed (about the general population) after the American Revolution, “Since the achievement of our independence, he is the greatest patriot who stops the most gullies.”
Josh, Never mind Patrick Henry. I wanted to congratulate you sir on your hundred thousand subscribers ! And I'm wondering how you made out with the storm I saw her over the top of your today right over North Carolina I was watching the weather channel thinking about stony Ridge Farm I'm hoping you'll post a video of how you made out ? Hope you guys are safe ! General repair
Hey Josh, Great video. We are looking at buying a Kubota L3401 for our farm in Philippines and seeing you bust into the ground with the tiller is exactly what I envision for our first year. Cheers bud, ~Mike and Ester~
1. Why did u not kill the grass with roundup first! 2. Then why did u not cut grass very close to ground before discing 3. Did u really take a soil sample for lime and fertilizer so u get the most yield and palatability for the seed and deer.
My Irish education only barely touches on American history but I believe give me liberty or give me death was sad by Patrick Henry just before the revolution I could be wrong.
Ov got an older 7 foot tiller that I have used some but I end up always going and getting my my 8 foot disc and breaking ground cause to me it just don't like this Alabama clay. However a code of Packer is the way to go it makes a food plot look gorgeous
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer you can always go back Frozen turnips and mustard greens a little bit of ryegrass out and they will kill it good luck on your food plot hope it turns out great for you
2 thumbs up if I could. Have been wanting to view an Everything Attachments tiller in action. Also, the cultipacker. Thanks!
Yessir glad you enjoyed
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer put a cheap bicycle or skateboard multi wrench on a magnet and stick it to the cultipacker, or replace nuts with thumb bolts
Dream viewing. Tractor, equipment, whitetail hunting prepping, and a dog. Hell ya. That's my wheel house. Good job.
Welcome to the channel brotha
Hey josh I’m 60 with a bad back spent 35 years running heavy equipment, love your channel you have a zest for life enjoy it

Jarrett Parsons just bought 76 acres in Rockingham county VA. Husband grew up on a farm so we’re thrilled to begin. Good luck!
Big guys on those small 30hp tractors always look funny ha. Very impressive result.

Patrick Henry at the Virginia Convention in 1775! Still holds true today!!
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
I know this is a old video. But i went to the whitetail innovation meet in Reidsville NC and I got the power plant it I still have some coming up and the plot is 3 years old. Deer bedded down in it and it’s a good plot
Welcome to our weather world this summer also put a trail camera on that stand tree and share some pics with us! WOOOOOOO!
Patrick Henry said those words after an afternoon spent in the local pub. He was not drunk just very riled. Pub are different than a bar.

If you ever get a chance to tour the church, do it. The founding father George Wythe is also buried there (teacher and mentor to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison).
Don't kid yourself a pub is a bar. Same things go on in both. Some more civilized than others but it has nothing to do with the name.
Great video ! Just bought a 6ft tiller and the cultipacker is next. These implements are expensive.

josh take it from an old farmer tillers & snow blowers do an excellent job but need to have slow ground speed for best results
I thought it was " Give me Coffee or Give me Death ". I'm amazed by that tiller. Buddy liked it too !!.
Oldie but goldie. This video came up when I searched info on food plots.
I really enjoyed watching your video's especially the one with the 4 wheeler I have a 500 Honda Foreman Rubicon.

You really know your stuff I bought some hand guards to put on mine and I wish you were around to show me how its done. or Maybe run a video so I can watch you.
Josh is the coolest farmer. And thats a cute little tractor lol
Great channel, just bought a small farm on 25 acres and your channel is gonna come in handy! Wooo doggy!
Josh, use the toolbox that is on the tractor and carry a few tools all the time even a screw driver, adjustable wrench, hammer and vise grips. Save steps. I enjoy watching your videos, I am a retired dairy farmer from Wisconsin.
And wire cutters. Nothing worse than winding up 20 feet of barn wire
I just finished up my last fall food plot about 10 days ago, I have found that after spreading the seed, I will run the disks over the ground one more time fairly shallow then use my four wheeler to run back and forth to pack the soil (more often than not, pne of my sosn volunteers for that job).

Nice vides be safe during the storm prayers for you and your family
I welded up a framework of rebar and made a scarecrow for my food plots (what's old is new again)to keep the turkey,doves,deer,crows and anything else that may eat the seeds until it can get up high enough,you may want to try building one (it really works).Good luck with Florence, I enjoy the channel Josh -Jerry
Jerry Beaver h
I already stated how much I appreciate your channel, but wanna say , I love the music too!!!
Awesome looking cultipacker
I'm a new subscriber. I found your channel a few days ago and am loving it!
Good stuff Josh! Like that stuff from everything Attachments!
Love everything from Everything Attachments!
Do you think that the cultipacker would leave too rough of a finish from the rollers for putting in a lawn? Looks perfect for food plots but unsure if it would turn a yard into a washboard :-/ TY!
In 2-3 weeks and a few rains, you will not even be able to notice it has been cultipacked.
Exactly
Suggestion: keep dedicated wrench with your machine (make an attachment so it don't get lost)...👍🏻
0:45 Hi there pup.
Your dog is like, why do you have that camera pointing at me 😁
I saw the shirt before you pointed it out. I subscribed because of it.
Have you ever tried using just a sprayer and a spreader for making food plots? Ive had great success broadcasting soybeans then after post spray I add in red clover, radish, turnip and oats. As the deer eat the soybeans the others take over. Red clover does great under full size soybean crop and will produce free nitrogen for next planting season in spring.
I'm new to your farm and so far it's very good.
Everything Attachments does it again! Man, did that little tiller ever do a good job!
Thank you for an awesome channel I have been a long time subscriber. Could you please do a three minute video on your raised vegetable gardens? I am going to be building a few raised gardens myself this fall.
Best Regards,

look back about 2 weeks ago....I've got several dedicated vids on this my friend
Yep wrong time of year for that food plot mix. Frost will get it. I would steer clear of that seed brand WAAAY overpriced and hyped. You can get the same results buying seed at your farm coop.
"Drop it in wet ground, witch we shouldn't do." I bought a new riding mower and push mower this week because the VA gave me 90% and it i used them on wet tall grass😂😂😂😂 they worked great!
Tiller popped out a few stones from the Stoney Ridge wooooooo
Harriet Tubman / Patrick Henry....
Thanks for showing the equipment!
Hi Josh. Neat job and helps having good reliable equipment 👍🏻
liked and subbed because of the liberty or death. g'day from Australia.
Welcome to the club Matt!
That quote is from the late and great Ronald McDonald. Love all your videos keep it up!
That looks fantastic great for a hobby farm
One other thing if you could discuss up about 10 acres of that field plant oats and clover cut oats in milk stage makes some mighty fine hay
You remind me of my moms cousin in law, you look just like him too. Love your videos, keep up the great work.
Love your shirt brother. Totally agree
put your soy (and other bean ) seeds in the freezer (needs to be completly dry and hard first) freezer for 3 days to kill bugs.
Man those seeds were trashed...the only thing that came up was the sun hemp...next year we'll be planting a ton of sun hemp for forage and to establish pastures
Excellent video great demonstration
My Grandmother Was Elizabeth Henry And She Lived To Be Almost 102 Years Old In Very Good Health. Because They eat Good Natural Things Back Then.
nice video. I saw you on Wes channel and subscribed to yours now as well. The video about the Chicken station how to process meat chicken was very helpful for me to make my decision to get some meat chicken from the hatchery you just had visited as well some egg laying as well.

If you ever run into cloggy soil after your first tiller run (say north south), make your second run going east west). Makes for a really fine soil.
Cool thanks for the tip!
@Zeke Mack17 I don't see many farmers using tillers, but do you have a preferred brand?
Josh I'm in Marion nc I'd like to come deer hunt when you start booking hunts lmk
Enjoy your videos ... Great job those implements are terrific, but hopefully no vet bills coming your way with the dog losing an eye being so close to your machines.
What a good dog you have.
I love making food plots

yep...this is just one example of how to make a food plot with tillage
It would be awsome if you guys let us follow you during hunting seaon. Everything. Come on man. Thanks
Good job on vid. I love the shirt: "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!" Patrick Henry.
great camera work and info, thanks!
I am a Virginia Boy. Good Ole Patrick Henry!
another great . job.. love watching and learning.
Hey Josh. My dad always told me to roll your seed , any king grass seed and especially what your doin .. Craig. Pa guy
enjoyed this segment a lot ...learned a lot thanks...
Love the video and the shirt!
Add sand when you seed thanks Glenn
You should put one of those turkeys on the table!
It's bout to get soaked I hope during the hurricane y'all are safe an dry inside.
Try a Japanese style tiller with curved blades, soooo much better. Had one of these and after getting a Kubota tiller (Yanmar, Iseki, Mitsubishi...)... lifetime difference.
Read one article recommending packing prior to sewing seed, then harrowing, and then cultipacking again. Just did this but seems overkill. Thoughts?
Helpful hint if you havent already been told or read the operation manual for the tiller:
First pass with the tiller... run with the tail board down. It lets the first and biggest clods hit and bounce right back into the blades to break them up better.

hmmm interesting
Patrick Henry is said to have proclaimed (about the general population) after the American Revolution, “Since the achievement of our independence, he is the greatest patriot who stops the most gullies.”
can you make a video about tilling a very rocky soil? or fixing a rocky soil. My plan is to plant grass all over.
I just started to follow and looks like your dog is very well trained and looks like if you say attack to your dog it will if someone threatened you
I can't seem to find the next food plot video.
But this one was great
Have not made one this year
Josh,
Never mind Patrick Henry. I wanted to congratulate you sir on your hundred thousand subscribers !

Awesomeness Josh, it was Patrick Henry.
You made a very helpful video keep up the good work
Those glasses are nice. I need to get my hunny some
DOVES ARE TASTY LIL CRITTERS, JUST SAYIN
Great video
Awesome video Josh. Just a question why shouldn't you till up wet soil? as I am new to this as well. Great content. To bad for the seed.
1. Why did u not kill the grass with roundup first! 2. Then why did u not cut grass very close to ground before discing 3. Did u really take a soil sample for lime and fertilizer so u get the most yield and palatability for the seed and deer.
How long does it take to grow a deer.
My Irish education only barely touches on American history but I believe give me liberty or give me death was sad by Patrick Henry just before the revolution I could be wrong.
is that a forward or rear turning tiller, thanks
Ov got an older 7 foot tiller that I have used some but I end up always going and getting my my 8 foot disc and breaking ground cause to me it just don't like this Alabama clay. However a code of Packer is the way to go it makes a food plot look gorgeous
it did a great job on this food plot...now the deer ate it all up as soon as it sprouted lol...still has a touch of clover in it though
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer you can always go back Frozen turnips and mustard greens a little bit of ryegrass out and they will kill it good luck on your food plot hope it turns out great for you
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer that was supposed to say throw and not frozen but anyhow hope it works out
When you are doing rmud ground should open the back gate would be up,😎
Great video !! We plant sugar beets and brassica for fall and winter with the clover makes for a great plot here in Wisconsin .
