      I have been absent from your channel alot of this year but I told you about 2 years ago when you was lifting your shipping container about my air bag that could probably lift it safer than the bumper jack or farm jack as they call them. This month i got 2 shipping containers they droped one and missed the footers on one end. So i had to take my own advice and lift it with my air bag and it did no problem i could do it again in a video and show you directly but i dint have a place to send it to you so forward your email and i will do that I know yours was a 40footer and mine is a 20 footer but i dont think it would make a difference. So im just following up with you on the shipping container jacking.

    Last fall I turned out my one herd of sheep into my hay field instead of cutting a 3rd cutting mainly to get rid of the johnson grass on one end of field. This first cutting of hay has been the best hay I've gotten as far as weeds go. If I had to guess 80 to 90 % of my weeds are gone out of that field. Sheep absolutely destroyed the weed pressure on it.

    Got the pasture mowed thanks to Josh for lighting a fire. Looks much better and got some rain afterwards. If nothing else the cow patties need to be broken up. A neighbor saw mine and asked me to mow his.

    I'm an ops manager. I basically make things work smoothly. People always want to know the trick of what works. Well, the methodology is you work with it. I found this rather interesting as it's the same in life and on the farm. I don't know? Once I get there we will make do. Next year it will be different. We just work with what works best and set things up as best as can be for the future.

    @tokencivilian8507 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Just a Few Acres is a big proponent of clipping in spring after the cows have grazed a pasture. He says it'll keep everything from going to seed, which keeps the grass growing vigorously. He says the clippings also help the soil hold moisture. Great to see how the different channels do things. How are those new three way chickens doing? Hopefully well.

    What are perennials vs. annuals?
    Annual flowers grow for one long season, often into the fall, then die with the onset of freezing weather. With perennials, the above-ground portion of the plant dies back in freezing weather, but re-grows from the base and rootstock the following spring to bloom again. Also, planting grass seed can help get rid of weeds by creating a thick, healthy lawn that can choke out new weeds. However, it's generally recommended to kill weeds before planting grass seed.

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer
      @StoneyRidgeFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yep...I mispoke....it was the opposite of what I was saying. When we already have grass...we typically don't need to plant new seed...the roots send out rhysomes and that builds the forage...but I do some overseeding in the fall/early winter. You'll see it soon! Summer will be over in the blink of an ey!

    Hey Josh, We purchased an 80 acres farm nearly 2 years now which is established and previously ran 60 head of cattles. As a new owner we still havent being able to purchase a tractor with slasher and cattles. we have a lot of weeds and grass grow and I just wondering in my case how many time a year do I need to get a contractor to slash the property until we save a bit more to purchase cattles and tractor. Its quite sad to see lots of grass start overtaking the beautiful paddock.

    • @StoneyRidgeFarmer
      @StoneyRidgeFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      why don't you get yourself a tractor? You can get by with a very affordable machine and a brush hog. Before we started running cattle I mowed 5-6 times per year to stimulate forage. You don't need anything fancy, get yourself an little $5k tractor and get in there mowing my friend...you won't regret it...or lease the land for grazing! My suggestion

      So in Sept/Oct and Nov I’ll seed some spots ahead of the cows and let them hoof in the seed in the moist ground. I try to prevent grass from going to seed because fescue will send out rhysomes which are roots that expand the plants. No need to seed a good stand of grass in most cases
