- Join along as we get the hay tedded out in hopes of it being baled up in the next few days. Then back into Spraying and pushing though the acres to get closer to done. Thanks to Tyler for helping along the way. With some great views and good corn it makes for a good afternoon. Thanks for watching along.
Tyler, you are the man ! What a friend you are , thanks for helping Chris out getting alot of his spraying and miscellaneous chores done 🇺🇲🚜🐖🐂🐕
Chris big shout to tyler thanks for the help was fantastic Chris corn looking good the farm looks good you got it going on to the end
Many fire departments have a floating hard suction attachment. It will keep your hard suction line off the bottom of the pond. Just something to check out.
U can make them also
I tie a 5 gallon plastic bucket to my suction line when pumping out of and water source it keeps the line out of the mud and rubbish , the suction line goes inside the plastic bucket 🪣
Go go go Duffy. 😂😂😂awesome video glad your getting it done with old friends .
Washed hay. Big money in that. 😆
Just a suggestion Chris, when pulling water out of a dugout or pond the best cleanest water is in the top 12” of water. Wire an empty spray jug onto the inlet hose near the filter so you are pulling from nearer the surface and a weight on a rope to anchor it. You will have lot less nozzle plugging and filter issues.
You need a pair of stocking to go the suction to filter out the crap problems
Corn looks great Chris have a good day.
Washed hay goodin😂 🌽 looks good
Hopefully you made it through the storms ok they just missed me here in northwestern PA
What a great view from up on top of the hill. You need to carry some binoculars just to stop once in awhile and enjoy the scenery! No, I don't farm, yes I realize suggesting stopping for a view might be dumb.
I have been watching all the storms kick off all the way from Australia you got some big storms coming from I can see and tell
Duffy you gotta get a sickle bar mower for your 112 garden tractor, you can use it around your pond and your fence lines, way easier than weed whacking
Oef watch out with those balespikes on the public roads. Point them down or remove them, don't want to hug those 😅
Love your content!
Great job
Spring time, after field work, before planting, get the drone up. Should be able to spot the working tile lines. Give you an idea of where the working tile lines are at. We could always see the wet hole on the 160 every year before fixing it
Hey chris hope you made out ok saw a farm up in ny got hit with a tornado hope it missed the duffy AG home stead .. Corn looking good keep up the great job
I am almost 70 years old and 3rd generation on this farm and We never did field work on Sunday, only chores that had to be done, milking, feeding etc, Sunday is for worship and rest up for the next week. Works not the only thing in life.
Duffy you are 😢doing it great gob don't worry
Dad had a 1200 gallon tank that he put on a 68 ford 600 and took it to the fire department and they filled it up for him sprayed with a 3020 with three-point mounted John Deere sprayer 150 gallon
Washed hay...WHT didn't I think of that!! 😂
Might wanna leave some of the pond vegetation for the little fishies....but definitely dump some sand and make a stretch of beach dude...😊
Hey Chris, you soon need to be getting your combine fixed, it'll soon be time to use it before you know it ❤
Cast has to be pre heated to weld it. So that would probably destroy the seals in the pump by the time its heated enough to get a proper weld.
I thought that he removed them before heating
Who woulda thunk that pond would be worth so much, Amazing kudos for second year and those pigs are portlands as compared to Yorkshires more common in New York maybe names Pots and Pans their future destiny 😂😂
Even with rowgators the custom applicator runs over corn up here
You're not fooling this old farmer on washed hay!🤣What about a 3 point sprayer until you can get something different! Corn looks good!
Don’t forget that you have to fix the combine
Leave pond alone,it has its own eco base,i made that mistake many years ago n killed the fish.🤔😫☘️🇮🇪🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟Trim the edge ,yes,but leave pond Chris
Yep I agree 100% all that plant base and algae is good for the pond’s ecosystem. Cole guys here on TH-cam have built ponds and spent a lot of money and would kill to have their look like that. Fish need structure and the plant life puts o2 into the water. It’s a very important part of a health pond. Not if half of the top as covers in crap I would say it needs help. But your pond looks very health. Be proud brother. Corn looks good pond looks good hey looks good. And hell you even got a crop of “washed hay” lmao. Hey it was just bedding hey anyway so no harm done really. I know it’s not ideal but at least it wasn’t the good stuff.
@@blackheart30518it's a farm pond it has to kept clean so the water is useful.
Corn looks great Duff Man!👍
Don't get overly aggressive with the pond, it regulates its eco-system. The fish use weeds as a nursery to protect from predation by large fish and other animals.
A few grass carp would be good for the pond they take care of algae and would keep the weeds in check
I think it's dumping mud from drainage pipes which is not good
Loving all armchair comments.
Don't remember what's broken on the combine?
Seal on hydrostatic drive leaks. Have to pull the full assembly and go through it. Have some other smaller stuff to do as well
My buddy use to get something to kill all the algae in his pond. He used it for filling sprayer also because he didn’t have enough at his well and potatoes need to be sprayed a lot. That didn’t hurt the fish.
You need a little bit of algae for the smaller fish there serval different species of fish that you can buy to keep the weeds and moss under control so that you have a good ecosystem in your pound and most of them don't breed back catfish won't breed in a pound unless there's a spring large enough to do it and they help keep the bottom clean
Most people work Monday to Friday but a farmer works 7 days a week and is sometimes slowed down by the weather but that is when the do matenace so a farmer's work is never done
🚜🌾
with a row Gator you could custom spraying..
Get you some sterile grass eating carp for the pond vegetation. They are sterile so they don't reproduce and over populate your pond. Stoney Ridge Farmer puts them in all his ponds.
You do have to get a permit in New York as they are not a native species.
That little masey would make a good little mower tractor
Agreed
put aqua shade n the pond it will with moss on the pond
Washed hay is better than snowballs to a cow 😅
Definitely, TERRIFIC TYLER! You continue to have such great friends help you out.
Pond edges yes, digging it out will be fish suicide. Continued successes spraying 👍👍👍
Have you thought about buying a half-moon machinery shed, to get your equipment in out of the weather, in the future ? I think the half round sheds are the least expensive.
Ya everybody here in southern Illinois are soybeaning this year.
Those Bison's look just like Buffalo's. Hard to tell them apart. ha. Funny the things that get people all worked up.
You should look into a drone sprayer. Maybe a better option?
Washed hay is homogenicide and pastureyes certifried organic, it’s vegan friendly gluten free
Try not to disturb the pond, it’ll do more harm than good.
Is it worth the expense of buying a sprayer for 3 or 4 days work? I know you have expansion and different crops planned, but wondering if a job like that is better contracted out ?
Good people you have around.
Pumping out of ponds and rivers and creaks will not work its dirty water for sprayers,! Are farm we use clean well water for are spayers.chris your doing good work keep up the good work farming ,
Nick Moreau aka South Sask Farmer on TH-cam pumps his spray water out of a pond. Just has a few jugs tied to the inlet to keep the intake off the bottom.
If you turn the ground over every other year you will be doing better with your crops .
Is the combine still stuck ?
Hey Duffy, I was wondering I was wondering how much do you Sell a single bale of hay for? I know you sell a load of them when you do it but what does one big Bale go for?
How about a 60 ft hagie 280 with 12 rows of y drops in Iowa 2 400 gallon tanks 5.9 Cummins ac works
I have never had any luck with pulling water out of a pond constant battle with tips and screens
I used pond water for years. Screen on suction line with a 5 gallon can , 2 ft rope to suspend suction hose in pond. Cleanest water is 1 ft below surface.
Chris I got a kick out of the wild dog
Are you planning on doing beans next year?
Sorry Chris, but the only way you are gonna get tall corn 8s if the people you spread manure for gets their stuff done sooner in the late winter, or early early spring. All your good days to plant you have spent spreading manure. I know you want that money, but if affects your crops being so late. Maybe try to coordinate a little sooner in early early spring. It's only way it's gonna happen.
Did you even pay a little bit of attention his ground was barely dry enough to plant when he planted it you'd be sitting there waiting the first of May for ground to dry and burying tractors to the axles trying to disc when the ground is wet that's an expensive a waste of time. 😂😂
@@Otherrandomguy421st of may would look a lot better than 1st of june
@@Otherrandomguy42 I like Chris very much. If I didn'tI wouldn't send him and Yenko stuff to help in getting stuff done like tools and a step ladder. There were fields that weren't so wet, and he spread manure only to have rain for a couple days only make them too wet to farm. It wasn't a bunch, only a time or two.
I'm talking about the future. He said he wants to be able to grow the large corn like others already have. The only way I see that happening is if they manure is spread earlier in the year. As long as the ground isn't frozen and the Temps are above freezing during the day, they could start sooner.There were a few days he spread on dry days only to be rained out afterwards. I understand you have to work and make hay when the sun shines, but you also have to prioritize your work sometimes or your harvesting in December like last year.
If I had the ability to do this work and a place to stay out there, I would come help him in a heart beat....I would do it for next to nothing. I would try to drive the extra manure tanker so he could focus on his farm. As long as I was fed and had shelter over my head with a little AC or heat as needed to be comfortable when not working, I would be there tomorrow....but I can't anymore, I'm disabled. I used to bust it from sun up to after sun down. Would work 7 days a week and a few times of 36 hours straight with barely breaks just for the bathroom. Those days are unfortunately gone.
@@Istatefarmerit literally will not when the first of May he would have been getting stuck everywhere he tried to go plowing/disking. His problem is he has land that is pretty darn marginal for growing corn on he really needs to start thinking further outside the box and start growing something. Suitable for corn silage and that's about it. As with anything that isn't River bottom land in northeastern New York it's not grain country to wet and heavy.
@@keithfrazier2558I didn't say you don't like them but the simple fact of the matter is you can't plant corn into wet ground the seed will simply rot. And he basically got on that ground as early as he could he was still working around the wetter spots. He's on heavy clay soil that's marginal corn ground and on a wet year you're not planting early.
Can you add a link to the source product your using please
Where you gonna take your corn?
Only chores on sunday? What an absurd idea
Sorry to say but that’s part of Farman all that’s all guys did it but in many hours and we didn’t have the equipment you guys got now you squeeze your cheeks and keep going
Do you have brazing stuff for the pump?
Even if he had brazing rod probably would have still used the mig because it was faster but not the right way to do it. If he mentions he needs to get some brazing rod it will just show up someday in the mail(free)
If you are looking for a buyer for your hay . Rech out to cross timber bison ranch . Dusty Baker
I don't think shipping hay from Eastern New York down to Oklahoma is going to be very practical.
Nothing wrong with the pond. Your going to kill everything by messing with it
And what's your point farm ponds should be cleaned out regularly with an excavator and not let anything exist there in the first place.
I love watching your TH-cam videos i added you on Facebook not sure if you got or not
