It has been extremely wet here in Central Ohio there are still fields not planted here. It is good to see that you are able to get field work done and all your crops are in. Looking forward to you making hay that is my favorite. I only make a little hay now but I love the smell and I can stand on a wagon all day long. Thank you for always taking us along on the farm
I absolutely love farming and even though I'm actively involved, I still enjoy watching others do it too. That's why I make videos, so others can enjoy it and learn about it (for the non-farmers). Once I get 3 nice days strung together in a row, I plan to start baling. But that doesn't seem like it'll be this week. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Man yeah Mr Charlie!! You sure have done your part this season, now up to the Lord!! I really like the simple method to your application of the inputs!! Surely keeping that in mind for later😉😁 About time to start hay? I love those Oliver tractors!! Seems this season has been a huge benefit having your friends tractor to use as well, being fuel efficient and such!! Thank you sir for the ride, things are looking amazing!! I really enjoy your details in every video about the why's of exaclty what you are doing!! Great video my friend, looking fwd to more sir!! 😁😁👍👍 My apologies for being late!! 🤦🤦
Thanks Nelson, as always, for your kind words. I never have nor never will say I am the ultimate expert. I'm just another farmer, but I try to give people the benefit of my experience of a lifetime in farming and hope it helps. Mine is not necessarily "the way", but I look at it as it gives people another possibility of ways they can accomplish something. They can compare it to the methods they see from other farmers and then make their choice. For nonfarmers, I just try to make it educational so they understand a little about what we do. I think it's important to give the "why's" and the rationale. I think that's important to help others with their thought process. And yes, hay's coming soon. My timothy hay is about ready and I hope to cut some down the end of this week and hopefully bale Monday if the weather holds up as the forecasters predict. Thanks for supporting me and my channel, Nelson. Means a lot.
@@pagrainfarmer Yes sir always!! That's what makes you unique, the care you have to teach others, and I love the way you do it!! Man yeah, Timothy time, hint hint....thinking about that for the farm until I get all the ducks lined out for row crop 😉😉 Looking fwd to those videos my friend!! I may need some insider info down the road soon 😁😁😁
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar No problem - I will help anyway I can. If you ever want to call and talk, which might be easier for that insider info, we can certainly make that happen.
I love this time of year and seeing the long rows of corn and soybeans. A great time to be a farmer. Always new hope each spring for a great year. Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you liked the video.
Charlie my friend fantastic video really enjoyed riding on the fender checking out your field. I like the way your corn looks. Absolutely loved how you mentioned God at the end of this video. 🙂☕🙏 Hebrew 11:6
Thanks for the video it's nothing but rain every other day Columbus lot of the farmers doing got stuff in the ground I got a 15-acre field bush hog every week with my beautiful 1855 Oliver that I just got love it straight pipe had to tear it all apart underneath the the seat on the hydraulics what is leaking replace the t-fitting somebody didn't put sealer on it so you had to tear it all apart and put new seals gaskets on runs beautifully I love it 2500 original hours runs good everything works down to the lights got it out of Indiana for 8700
Last time I applied anything to corn was about 1984........Last application of Urea to row crops was Cotton...5 years ago....Though I know how to grow it.... it doesn't fair well in the Deep South without some sort of irrigation.....We have only had one rain event in the last 15 days.... Corn in my area is rolled up sugar cane.....
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 My neighbor's Son was trying to plow up some drip-tape from last year and his tool.. didn't want to penetrate deep enough to get it....He has been super busy planting peanuts and cotton......I told his Son he better plant something, because my Bermuda grass is crossing the dirt drive way between us headed his way!!
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 I know from my connection with SBF that it's been dry down there. Maybe things will turn around. Thanks for watching and commenting.
We have a couple cyclo 400 corn planters and they dont plant all that well but I thought about taking off all the row units and just leave the fertilizer openers and the fertilizer boxes and make it 3 point hitch and use it to apply urea on the corn. This would place it under ground to prevent volatization. Not sure how it would work.
My corn is 4 and 5 leaf also. Lucky for me my corn is using manure credits right now, I top dress urea when corn is knee high so I know it doesn't run out of nitrogen before maturity. I use stabilizer but still don't put faith in that saving the fertilizer if we don't get rain!
@@larsonvalleyfarm I wish I had some manure. Haven't had cattle on the farm since 1998. The manure is definitely a "plus". One of the reason's I top dress now is because I've read where it actually takes the urea about 2 weeks to before it's able to be utilized by the corn plants. This way, they will be getting it by the time the plants are 10-14 inches tall. Thanks for watching and commenting Brad. I also liked the "manure credits".
That’s not too bad a whole day to do that that’s a reasonable amount of time but I have a question in your video when you’re going down the field there’s a big patch of weeds it is that are waterway or some weeds Im out of control
Sounds like it has been challenging there. Glad you got your planting done. With the way the spring was, I really don't understand how I got it all done, but it happened, somehow. Thanks for being here.
I was told by an agronomist that you cant put enough nitrogen on the corn for its full life cycle with the planter without causing harm. The corn just cant use that much at the time of planting.
I hate to be a real downer on what you have done, but I believe you may have thrown away alot money on urea! The kind you spread should have been incorporated into the soil preplant, Superu is more designed for what you are trying to achieve, it is more expensive but it will stay in the soil better. I tried doing what you did on a small plot even cultivated it in, it didn't work so well. The ultimate product is anhydrous ammonia but it's dangerous and if you don't already have the equipment it's expensive, at 82percent nitrogen it's still the best bang for your buck! Please check out superu I think you will be much happier with the results! Good luck!

Nice Charlie, thanks for the ride and the corn looks great
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video Charlie, some great long rows your working with

That’ll work well too ! Thanks cousin Charlie!
Thanks Cousin Scott. I saw your corn in SBF's latest video. It looks fantastic. You should be proud. Thanks for supporting me and the channel.

Your 1855 sounds incredible. Sounds like a great find. I love my Olivers too. Something special about them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I did enjoy that! New subscriber here.

That's what Cousin Scott does in Scott's Small Farming and Things youtube channel. Seems to work pretty well for him.

manure credits
Good one Brad. 👍🙂
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 With all the manure I deal with, I have to think of it positively!

It's a good thing you're getting that urea out cause that patch of weeds were looking kinda peaked
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Corn looks like it's off to a good start.
Thanks Pete. I’m pretty happy with it so far.
Does that not burn up the corn like that
No, not at all.
That’s not too bad a whole day to do that that’s a reasonable amount of time but I have a question in your video when you’re going down the field there’s a big patch of weeds it is that are waterway or some weeds Im out of control
That was a grass waterway. Supposed to be there.
I’m trying to finish spraying corn and putting on my anhydrous Mother Nature needs to cooperate a little more 🤦♂️🤬
Sounds like it has been challenging there. Glad you got your planting done. With the way the spring was, I really don't understand how I got it all done, but it happened, somehow. Thanks for being here.
We put our nitrogen on in our corn planter
That would save a pass over the field. Thanks for watching.
I was told by an agronomist that you cant put enough nitrogen on the corn for its full life cycle with the planter without causing harm. The corn just cant use that much at the time of planting.
@@TheJohndeere466 I heard that same thing. I think you're correct.

Thank you, Dave, for our comments and suggestion. I will take it under advisement.
Have you done anything for 2023
You talked so much before you started I about decided you were waiting for rain before starting
