- ** We got rained out from seeding temporarily so we are back on this grass to fill in time, until the land drys out enough to get seeding again.
Also we are opening up some dikes to let the water be free - because we care! 😆

Plot twist: Mike always ask Mike questions because there are two Mikes. Same person.
Mike snortin grass that’s a first for the day 😂. Then starts talking to the water I’m not so sure that was grass.
Well that type of grass! Lol or weed.
Mike you are certainly connected to the soil and water. First time I saw someone talk to the water. Surely mother earth will be kind to you this year and provide you the bountiful crop you so rightly deserve.
That first pass breaking grass is the most satisfying thing ever! Can we just get a live stream of this ?
i love the smell, that fresh turned dirt is like little else
You will find that ground is 50x more healthy than the ground you have been continually cropping , fertilizing and applying chemicals that's why it smells so good.
I agree with you Mike it’s very satisfying hello from Ireland
What beautiful rich soil! There is something very satisfying watching large equipment so effortlessly turn sod into tilled soil, and so quietly too. I love the smell of a freshly plowed field.
That's an awesome bit kit Mike and doing a great job.
My dad would rotate his fields around and would drill prairie grass and leave it be to bale/graze for a couple years. Loved the smell of breaking out those fields with an offset disc.
Good luck seeding your 2022 crops Mike
That will produce some nice crops for years to come!
really likes this video can't wait too see more of it
it's coming along nice. Can't wait to see the pro-till in action too
I wasnt good at discing cause watching the dirt come off the disc blades is hypnotizing and I would not drive in a straight line (pre gps).
Love it Mike 👍👍
I used to disk old grass land with the wishek but last year I plowed and ran the disc twice and it was good to go
That wishek is just a beast of equipment!
I agree with you Mike, water needs to run free! Subscribed to your channel today. I am live in Central Oregon (Redmond). Small farm. Lots of rocks in and on our ground.
Great video Mike
Looks like excellent topsoil!
The spring loaded gangs sure must save on replacing blades. I remember in the 1970's breaking 240 acres of CPR ground that laid for 12 years. That dirt does have a different smell and we did not have the equipment back then like there is today. We moldboard plowed it and disked and disked some more.
Alot of moisture in that ground should produce some good crops thanks for sharing mike
Good looking dirt! Great Video. Would love to see DRONE shots of the farm and what discing looks like.
Ploughing all day all night! Go! :P
I love watching a wishek work
Good work
Since my father started buying his first farm land in 1963 he had a field scraper and a grader. You will need proper and excellent drainage to be able to plant 100% of your non slough fields. Also they need ditches created and cleaned out often to work optimal. In wet years it really makes the difference. As you know you need to spend money to make some.
High love the smell of grass too.
Smell, cant' you smell that smell? The smell that surrounds you!
That is one great disk.
love this channel
cutting grass in the deere is my favorite vid out of all
Mike there’s a farm in south west Kentucky that uses the same disks they have several to turn the ground after corn harvest the last I seen was around 11,000 acres to be put into wheat just this year they got a Fent two track like yours he loves it
Lot of rock in that area
thanks mike
Now this is going to be interesting, creating a cereal-worthy seedbed out of those lumps of disced up sod. Number of passes and type of implements, really looking forward to this! 👍 I know it's swearing in church for the majority of you North Americans but, how about a good session of moldboard plowing? 😱 Add to it one pass with a light disc or maybe even what you call a heavy harrow and you've got a seedbed with all the weeds burried down under. We tried the "american way" here at my very home in southern Sweden and, even after 3 passes it still looked like we had let the hogs out. Sincerely, best of luck to you, since you've done it before you'll succeed, but I want to se how 😉
Glyphosate followed by moldboard plowing would have been so much easier. So much for grass sequestering carbon. Mike has too much money if he can do that many tillage passes
I agree with you Sven.
Over time rainfall leeches the good nutrients downwards thru the soil.
Turning it over with a molboard plow helps to turn the 'good stuff' up to the top again and it is also easier to make a good seedbed with the turned over soil than it is to break up clumps of grass and weeds. Less passes over the field as well.
I decided to plow last year and did 2 passes with the disc ..worked out pretty good
Mike, something tells me you are going to pull out a lot of rocks from that field, and what are your long term plans for the North Farm?
Man that's satisfying
Great vid again Mike. Hope ur doin ok
Thanks Robert! I am 🙂
That dirt will make a nice seed bed and hopefully grow a good crop for you Mike. Awesome video. 👍👍
Mike the water whisperer :P
Next time wait till I’ve swallowed my coffee before you talk to water . That was an LOL moment.
Hahah 😆🤷♂️
Dang listening to those rocks hitting the disk blades hurts. You guys must go through blades like mad. I just can't even comprehend tilling soil with rocks in it.
Roudup seed right in the sod. Doest work to bad maybe have to spray it twice but you still have smooth surface.
Hi Mike. I am a livestock farmer in Ontario with a rotation between hay and crops so we routinely break up hay ground. We find the most efficient way is an late fall application of glyphosate. We find this kills even normally hard to kill weeds and next spring you plant into bare ground. Why do you need to "break" this ground?
Love to see dirt MOVE!
Hey mike saw you at the farm show but you were with your family so I didn’t want to interrupt
Can we appreciate all the worl mike does for our entertainment :p
Mike´s slow decent into madness!
🤫😆
Wishek all the way when you're in the field breaking hay!! Lol
Bush.Hog 36 inch notched blades in the front
Kello makes a damn good disk
Zero till spray work up In fall way quicker more efficient save fuel it’s axpansive nowadays
Plow it like a bastard
Sounds like you are chaseing of the frogs and ducks lol
Actually looks like FUN breaking up sod !!
After our experience seeding into grass last year and getting a decent crop I’d never spent the money breaking grass
That is some nice-looking soil. I guess there isnt a lot of worms and grubs in that area. Here in Ontario, when you break grass or plow, there is always a bunch of seagulls and birds behind the disks chowing down on all the worms and grubs and other things in the turned-over soil. I guess you dont have a lot of seagulls?
Sounds rocky
Mike why did you not spray the grass with Roundup first. In my experience that works best for getting a better discing job and later cultivations.
I wonder that too. That grass will just keep growing.
Because the living grass sucks 7 inches water
Time constraints! Spraying time, waiting time, discing time- by now its harvest time and its still not seeded!
Absolutely a great question!! Yes 9x out of 10 you ALWAYS spray it first!
But unfortunately it just could not happen... When it was good spraying we needed to spray in front of the drill. Then it rained and we couldn't seed or spray but we could break - so we chose to break.
Then we found out that having that grass growing was actually working in our favour by sucking out moisture.
But when I could I did spray it 🙂
there is nothing better than the smell of fresh turned sod, I use to love plowing fields and smelling the frsh soil🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎dirt
200 acres of late seeded oats will work at $8 per bu will make money and you can lower inputs
hey Mike, what do you prefer, the triples, big duals, or track on the 9 series?
Days gone by we plowed first, disked 2nd
So, curious what is the fuel consumption discing 500 acres and then pro til x1 AND disk again?
Thank god these duck people stay on their side of the pond. 🤣
That is beautiful soil, I just want to grow broccoli on it
Looks like a great place to raise cow/ calf pairs in warm weather. Then ship them south for the winter. Wean and sell the calves. Money in the bank!
To bad you didn’t bring the fendit 1050 with trips on but you sold it that would have been great help.
Hey Mike. Can we see a 4 tracks vs triples. Pleaseeee!
How many hours of daylight do you guys get at the northfarm?
Many ppl fail to understand what it means when you got additional daylight hours for the crops.
Here in Scandinavia, crops are like on turbo the weeks when we only have 2-3 hours of darkness.
Mike, why are big Disk rippers like Sunflower, DMI, Case or John Deere not very popular up there. A disk, like a Wishic or even a high speed disk, will pack the ground. They build roads with them. A disk ripper, with the ripper shanks spaced on 24 or 30 in spacing, with a 3 bar harrow and rolling baskets would leave your ground relatively smooth and mellow. Ripping loosens and fractures the soil, so water and roots can go down into the subsoil. We use them here in Minnesota more than molboard plows now.
Because what works for you on your ground doesn’t work everywhere. Why are you so worried about how he does it? Don’t like it don’t watch.
Whats the acre count up to on the northern farm now???
I have no choice but to go pass for pass lol we don’t have GPS in the ole’ 9280 case ih Steiger
Mike you have a problem and we are here to help you please just go to a DSA meeting and get the help you need.
(dirt sniffers anonymous)
I like the smell of dirt but I can't say I've ever shoved it up my nose before.
🤩
Could you not break it with the protil if you sink it in? I heard of others do it
Did you seed a few aces directly into the sod to see how it compares to the tilled stuff. Got canola on the ex ducks land?
Absolutely! 👌
Wishek the best heavy disc ever made...
Rome plow taught them all what’s right and wrong!!!!!
Kello is not to shabby also
Are you going over it twice with the Wishek?
🎵Let grasses slow and waters flow in a free and easy way🎵
Ducks owns a bunch of land north of me. It's all a mess. A few guys have tried to hay it but it all needs to be worked up like you are doing. And they own a quarter just east of me that's just shy of completely grown back to trees.
Not trees….. weed trees, of no value to anyone!
By a mess do you mean a place were wildlife can live and thrive? Just because worthless commodities aren't grown in the dirt there doesn't mean its of no vale.
@@MrJav1986 I don't think thisle and fallen down barbed wire fences for moose to get hung up in is very good. Like I said it's a mess.
@@MrJav1986 time for you to go hug some trees maybe have a hamburger with your peta friends
@@kenhofer8063 Don't worry, ill leave my farm to my children in better condition than I got it. Not every acre of ground needs to be tiled, tilled and sprayed.
Mike, just wondering why you don’t just spray the grass off and plant into the roots that have been left. It’s makes a good loose platform to grow in.
i personnally would have plowed this instead of disking. Do you prefer disks?
That would be so much easier to us a bottom plow first then a disk.less work better results and cheaper
Mike,i have a question: Will there be any other soil treatment before next year Spring seeding or what? These clumps seem to be way to large to be seeded on it.
A freeze and thaw cycle will mellow those clumps out quite nicely in my opinion.
I assume you sprayed before you started disking
How many combines do u have mike?
3:26 wtf hahahhaa
That 620 looks like a Duck on the water.
Duck DeMuro should show its quirks and features !
"So our goal..."
*takes dirt and rubs it in his face*
Mike I'm an American and I think ducks unlimited is a joke . Yes they help the wildlife but they also dam up streams. Causing drainage issues then take up farmland . I know farms that are farming ground after ducks unlimited was done with the lease and they destroyed the land . Great video keep up the good work!
Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever
@@bryanginder5903 yeah both groups are kinda controversial. They want to save the habitat but daming up normally dry ground to make wetlands while flooding or drying out neighboring lands isn't good . I'm not against protecting wildlife as I like nature but changing the landscape drastically isn't smart.
Hey have the right idea but are going about it the wrong way
@@williamuskoski1385 something like that ! I don't think that flooding ground that is normally dry and inturn causing neighboring properties drainage issues is the right path . Plus taking good tillable ground out of production to save a few ducks that they inturn charge hunters to manage the population isn't smart . The ducks unlimited and pheasants programs harm other species of animals as well in the process.
Just curious...from a business standpoint...how is doing nothing with the land but yet spending lots on diesel and labor? How does that work out for you? And Im assuming crop is down from lack of rain as well
It was the same as when he had very little in terms of crop from last year. He’s better off spending the time, diesel and labour now in making it ready so that he can make it ready and better prepared for the next season, if that’s what it takes, and it also reduces the overall workload
Hi
Greetings from Poland
Record something fun with Jarett and others.
Why no glyphosat?
So Mike, fertilizer prices are up about 81% for the 2022 crop year here in Texas, it's astronomical. Has the increase in price hit in Canada and how does it affect your operation?
46-00 was $475 a metric tonn last year and now I am paying $1250 tonn.... Yeah it's stupid
@@mikemitchell2554 I payed 1300
They don't do anything with grass? How about eating it. Here at the coastal regions of Germany, many farmers do struggle due to pastures cleaned out by goose.
Mike is there a benefit of triples over duals?
More traction..less compaction
istead 7F U should wear 4F- Polish brand. Best wishes from Poland Bro :)
That’s their farm logo. Faith hope farms
@@williamuskoski1385 Now I know 😋
@@williamuskoski1385 Now I know 😋
Mike it’s June, and your vids are from may lol
Oh I am catching up then 😆
What is the reason that the previous owners prevented the water from leaving?
Water fowl habitat
Is disking not considered tillage?
Disking can be considered tilling the field, but in respect to the grass it leaves big clumps of dirt which drills and planters alike, struggle with. The idea is to break it down into a “seed-bed” ready surface so it’s easier on the drills and planters
you got 2 bad messes there to fix to crop that ground hope you can turn it around with the price of things and input cost these days not sure the price of fuel is a gallon i know here road diesel is over 6 bucks a gallon and i thing farm diesel or off road diesel is like 5 bucks a gallon
Close to 10 a gallon here
😀🙂😛😀😄
Would you not burn it off first
