Excellent video brother and God bless you. It's always refreshing to see people who aren't embarrassed or shy about their Christian beliefs. As Tony Fast always says Farm hard, pray harder!
I don’t know how to explain this, but seeing the field being tilled brought peace to my heart. As I was writing this you said, “Time to turn on some worship music.” I’ll do the same in my living room!
Just discovered your channel and wow. I am impressed. I predict it will be a great success and you'll get to 100k subs in no time. Here's why: 1. You speak directly to the viewer that you know is on the other side of the camera lens, not to an imaginary, "Hey guys! What's up" audience. That is a presentation skill so many TH-camrs just don't get. 2. You are personable, smiling, friendly and speak in a fluid, conversational style without heavy edits to remove stuttering, stammering and "aah"s. Shows you capture and engage your audience. 3. It also shows you have an enthusiasm and love for what you do. There are many farming channels on TH-cam and while they may be successful farmers they can drone on and lose a viewer's attention. In the end, your goal should be to entertain while educating your audience. You're doing that. Big plus. Final two thoughts: always a big plus to insert some "B-roll" after a spell of narration. For those of us that are not farmers, watching a tractor and equipment till soil with the endless views you have while some mellow country music plays is magic and relaxing. Lastly, the prayer at the end is a pure class act. So, congrats. I will be catching up on your other videos soon. Well done!
Love the videos! I’ve been binging 🙈 My research is on wind erosion/windbreaks in larger fields. Is wind erosion a factor for your operation in RRV? Best wishes for harvest Mitch!
Great question! It is an issue here. The shelter belts (tree rows) are a large part of preventing wind erosion. Managing the soil and residue are also ways to prevent it. We have a short growing season here so there hasn't been a "silver bullet" in solving that issue. It is very very rare to see no-till here. Strip till usually comes for a couple years and then disappears. Minimal till is also pretty rare. I suppose currently the focus in on managing tillage responsibly.
This is a disk chisel so there are a few reasons. Most chisel plows are typically spaced at 15" per shank. This disk chisel is 30", so 2" spikes would be less effective. Twisted tips are meant to flip dirt which is especially helpful for situations without the disk.
@@beetfarminmitch Chisel plows have 12" spacing. A 4" shovel would be almost impossible to get in the ground. And 3" twists would do a better job of mixing.
You are right. He is a great God! What are the shank spacings on that disc chisel? You know that Joker is just putting back those compaction layers that the Wilrich took out.
30” shank spacing. Regular chisel plows seem to be about 15” shank spacing. With tillage, it’s all about finding that balance. We had to till the wheat that started to grow back because if we don’t it will turn into sod and start to head out by the winter. That’s not ideal either. A pass with a joker or another tool in the fall is very justifiable for us. We also live in a very cold environment so that means we have a heavier freeze and thaw which helps prevent light compaction.
Just imagine those early farmers plowing those massive field with a team of horses. Dang, you got it easy with the GPS steering thing...
Super good 👍👍🤠
Mitch thank you for the blessing! have a great day.

Wow! Good job dialing it in! Disk chisel plows are doing an awesome job taking care of the land and preparing for spring.

That’s so awesome!! Thanks for sharing that Joseph.
Thanks for the video. There were some well done drone shots.
Great vid
I got to run a setup very simlar on bean tillage
He is great, the greatest !

Thank you so much for your time in typing out that review Richard, that was VERY encouraging and duly noted. Take care!
Fun fact an interview with Horsch not to long ago, Maybe I'll work there one day :D
Caleb, wherever you work, the company will be very blessed to have you. You are an incredibly hard worker.
Keep them tracks a turning there country boy. Love to see your operation! God's love shine on you! Amen!
Appreciate you Mitch - what a role model - God is pouring out his glory and you are in the middle of it
How many acres does the tractor run on?
It is funny how the horse which is the standard for all power ratings is no longer present on most farms.
Great vids Mitch, thanks also for the prayer. Now, when are you going to marry that girl? You’re not getting any younger ya know :-)
My OCD wants to fix your right side mirror it moves around to much.
Hahahaha yeah stuff like that bothers me too

Why are you running 4" shovels? I don't know how you can even get them in the ground. Run 2" spikes or 3" twists.

Is this more in the west of ND or somewhere in the middle
Very east side of ND
Oh really I thought it looked like it because I live in the west but now that I look closer I can see it now
@@beetfarminmitchby like Grand Forks did I hear in the video?
I can't see why your're discing out that wheat. It would make a fine cover crop. GO COVER CROPS!
Volunteer wheat will prevent the soil from drying out in the spring. Black is best going into winter but a little residue is okay.
