Boys I just found your channel love your channel that 1066 is my favorite I own a Massey Ferguson salvage yard but the international is where my heart is this is Steven from Arnett tractor and salvage Greensburg Kentucky keep making good videos
The terrain there at your farm is amazing I love how the fields roll and the driveway leading to the fields and pasture just disappear into the distance. Here in Central Ohio it's all the same and flat were I grain farm and have my flock of sheep. I really enjoy your videos from milking to chores to following along in the field thank you and looking forward to the next
Your lucky we are either at the top of hill, the side of a hill or at the bottom of the hill and depending on rain we are trying to get back up the hill.😆
I remember using an old set of bedsprings behind a 110 john deere lawn and garden tractor to prepare the finish seed bed for my moms garden it worked really well.
now I seem to know why your area looks so familiar , I have family up there in colfax, ( the FREBURG FAMILY ) THEY ALSO own a big beef and dairy farm ,, and some hogs ,, i really enjoy seeing you do farming with older equipment ,, as long as it works fine ,, keep using it .. would like to see milking videos with other family members also ... and to meet your mother in your videos ,, like watching your dad... now its moms turn ,,, lol ... keep up the fine job with your videos ... and thanks so much ..
Around where I am we do not use a drag at all. We chisel plow in the fall and then reel disk which is minimum tillage. Then drill and then we use a cultipacker to pack the seedbed down. We to plant oats and alfalfa. We also use a 10 foot drill but ours is a bd1110. That also plants our beans and then a 4 row planter for corn. All our cops are in and looking good so far
Started corn planting on April 20th in north central Kansas. We were very dry but have received 3 nice rains!! Finished with beans on the 25th of may!! Enjoy your channel....
Your ground conditions looked great. And with a little rain after seeding you should get a beautiful stand. The only question I have. I why are you using such a large tractor on your drag? With all the nice small light tractors you have. Wouldn't you want to trade lightly ony your newly seeded alphalfa? We always drag with one of our smallest, lightest tractors. I realize you had duals on but I would still use lighter tractor. Most every thing is planted here I'm west central Minnesota. We farm in Southern Meeker and Kandiyohi Counties. We had a very late start this year also. Most everything didn't get planted til the 15th to the 26th of May. Which for this area is about a month later than normal. I really enjoy your show. Keep up the great work on both the farm and the videos.
Thank you Mark! Yeah we could have used a small tractor but the 7810 floats so well and is less likely to spin out climbing the hills. But yeah it's been a late year up here
Why do you drag harrow first and then drill behind it? I used to drill and pull the harrow at the same time to smooth out the field so when it comes time to run equipment over it to process the crop it’s smoother to drive on.
I had a 20ft. Standard grain drill 40 years ago 7.5 inch spacing I planted winter wheat, rice, and solid stand soybeans. My only regret is that I wish it had a fertilizer box on it, would have loved to have been able to put phosphorous down with my wheat planting and potash with my soybeans. I usually planted behind a doall finishing harrow or sometimes in rice directly behind my landplane....
I'm curious that you don't use a cultipacker for your final pass. Is it because your fields are too rolling for the packer to made contact everywhere or does the drag just work better for you guys? Your fields look great regardless!!!
Hi, i live on a dairy farm in Denmark, we started plough in early april, and seed it all before the 10 april🤠 i love my life on the dairy farm. /15 year old boy.
I was strictly conventional tillage. Because at the time no-till was in its infancy and herbicides were not advanced enough for notill. I still used a moldboard plow and chisel plows
Yeah especially that first field because it will be left in hay longer than usual. We are shapping the field for the next couple years! Thanks for commenting
What’s the little doohickey in the front bin that has the washer on it. On the drill. I used to live in Amery WI over close to Stillwater MN. The winters were brutal!
Nice work.
It’s nice to see a 40 cow dairy thriving!
Yes, sadly there's not that many of us left.
Thank you!
Planting started around that mother's day weekend in South East Minnesota
Interesting
Y'all a the most respectable people on youtube.
I love what you all do and I wish I could farm for a job everyday

So nice to get back in the field again. I hope for all of us an awesome growing season and a later frost. I love to get out and do tillage work.
Thanks Anthony!

Great video once again boys, you certainly have a great looking seed bed let's hope you have a great crop. Nice to see things being done really well 👌
Thank you John!
Great video. Also using old manure spreaders for trailers, what a great idea!
Thanks Russell they turned out pretty nice
Nice drill I didn't know Great Plains No Till drills had three compartments to plant three different crops.

I love hearing about all the difrent techniques. Glad the crops are doing well in your area!
Pretty cool video nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
I’m in SE MN and I planted oats on May 5. I too, have an off the farm job, so missed a week and started corn on 5/14.
Yeah seems like most of us had a late year but I think everything will catch up
Awsome views on your farm. Such a good sight to see you planting. Good video as always
Thank you!

That's awesome! Thanks Karl!
Looks like you all are doing a good job there. We always used to seed 2 bushels of oats instead of 1.5 like you are doing. Looks good to me. John T.
I love hearing about everyone's opinions on seeding rates thanks John
Great video!
Thank you
Im here only because of that 7810 :)
Things were earlier than normal to an extent and or timely down by Genoa (LaCrosse) and seemed a couple weeks later up here around Baldwin Wi
That's good to know
Great channel 👍 thanks for sharing
We planted our oats and alfalfa in the beginning of April. We usually try to have them planted by the end of march.
I hear ya we would prefer that too!
Western kentucky looks to be slightly ahead of schedule. Most of the corn is in and up. Plenty of moisture and heat on the way this week.
Glad to hear!
nice video.
How to you keep washouts and gullies, also that would make a lot of hay haulers trying to stack on trucks. Lol
Thank you
Your ground conditions looked great. And with a little rain after seeding you should get a beautiful stand.

Perfect planting weather! You put a lot of faith in your camera mounts. Are they magnetic?
Yeah it's a big magnet. I get riskier as time goes on lol
Haven't started cotton in my area yet ,will start in about a week. Good stuff man 👍👍👍👍👍
That's exciting
Planting started around the same time in upstate New York north of Albany.
Why do you drag harrow first and then drill behind it? I used to drill and pull the harrow at the same time to smooth out the field so when it comes time to run equipment over it to process the crop it’s smoother to drive on.
Sounds like a good idea to do it at the same time

Does it wash bad if you get a heavy rain before it’s established
We prayed for a week or two of calm weather
What do you do off the farm?
Work for an agronomy business
Don't know where you're located but it's the same in IL. We went straight from winter to summer it seems😬
It was a late year that's for sure
you should have a dragon behind the seed drill that's what we do in Oregon
Interesting!
Love the small farm videos. Reminds me of my Grandpa's farm when I was a kid. Will you chop the oats?
I'm curious that you don't use a cultipacker for your final pass. Is it because your fields are too rolling for the packer to made contact everywhere or does the drag just work better for you guys? Your fields look great regardless!!!
Ya I don't think a cultipaker would work on our fields. Thanks Tom!

Welcome to the channel. Glad to hear everything is going well over there!
You were talking about soil possibly clogging things up, what about smaller rocks, can they get lodged an mess things up?
Lucky we don't have a many rocks, but I bet it could if you ran over one just right
I was strictly conventional tillage. Because at the time no-till was in its infancy and herbicides were not advanced enough for notill. I still used a moldboard plow and chisel plows
We sow the grass at the end of March. (in Switzerland) Ten days ago we sowed the corn. When do you do that?
Thanks for this top Video
We planted corn mid may this year
Normaly we try to plant earlier!
How many acres did you plant? Last week got in 19 acres of alfalfa/orchard and oat and then got 1.6 rain that was great.Hope you get a good stand.
Talk about perfect timing! We hope you get a good stand as well!
👍👍
What job do you have off the farm?
At the cost of fuel, is dragging worth it?
Yeah especially that first field because it will be left in hay longer than usual. We are shapping the field for the next couple years! Thanks for commenting
Grain drills don't have markers??
grand junction co first cutting of alfalfa may 25
Wow that's exciting
Did I hear you right - 16 lbs alfalfa & 17 lbs grass? What kind of grass?
We want to see the results in a few weeks and months.
How farming is supposed to be
Thank you

Do you not own a pickup truck. Never see one
What’s the little doohickey in the front bin that has the washer on it. On the drill. I used to live in Amery WI over close to Stillwater MN. The winters were brutal!
It is suppose to have a. Piece of foam on it and it tells us the level of the seed box. It's like a fuel gage
@@GierokFarms oh ok. I would never have guessed that.
