First of all, let me just say that I love the way you think like an agriculture entrepreneur you always gotta try the things outside of the box that’s where the success is.
Good way to do it. Just follow the combine's and plant your winter seed now. It's going to get wet and the freeze is coming to a neighborhood near you soon.
consider seeding canola after the ground gets cold enough it will not germinate this fall. it will germ in the spring before the field dry up enough to spring seed. it will be ready for harvest 4 weeks before spring seeded.
Hey mike did you ever think about putting in field towel from the little wet places to the big ones then the little ones would always be dry so you wouldn’t have to go around them just a thought
Field towelling sounds expensive & even if you installed field tiling it may work but if you don't own the land you're not likely going to absorb the cost yourself.
It will be interesting to see the results. Mid September is the earliest to drill in HRW wheat here in sou-cen Ks. You mentioned winter freeze kill and slough drowning, it would seem late frost kill is a possibility also up north.
We plant winter rye every year here in Wisconsin and we rarely have a decent snow cover and it does just fine in the next spring. Now granted we dont get as cold but its still wet and rainy for most of the winter
It depends how cold it gets at the plants growing point. Just a little snow cover makes a huge difference. Every plant has its limits. Saskatchewan winters seems to exceed those limits by huge margin without a snow cover
I'm really surprised Mike hasn't purchased a dozer for up north yet. With all the land work he needs to do. Seems like it would be cheaper than renting or hiring it done.
Mike, if your going to roll it. Why would you not wait until the spring to it? Winter wheat normally bounces back from having cattle walk on it and grazing it. I would want to wait to roll it to push the rock back down that winter freeze pushes up.
@nikphoenix wow even after cattle grazing? I study agriculture and ive got a mate who's going to do a masters to study the effect of sheep grazing on winter wheat yields. Word in my area is it's increasing yields through increasing tiller quality when the regrow. But who knows, that's what the research is for!
Well well Mike, you've surprised us once again as we all assumed you'd be lost in the maze for a good few days! 😉 Ashtyn is really sorting you out good & proper, you go girl! 😂
First of all, let me just say that I love the way you think like an agriculture entrepreneur you always gotta try the things outside of the box that’s where the success is. Secondly, those lead tires on the Baurgault cultivator are the bomb. I’m surprised they’re not on all the new drills .
First of all, I'm not a farmer, I'm not even from Canada but from Europe. I would be interested to know if you could simply hire a bulldozer to level all the puddles in the fields with the rest of the ground and thus create an even terrain. This should spread the water over a larger area and therefore no longer pose a problem.
No it doesnt work work like that, these holes are from melting ice blocks the from glaciers and have different sediment to a deep depth, look for kettle holes in wikipedia
The sloughs are practically empty during the drought years & when they are full of water there aren't any fish in them, unless you're suggesting rearing fish which is a whole new problem. 😉
Hope those Northern farms are cheap to acquire, seems they come with a high percentage of wasteland and built in inefficiency and would be more suited for smaller equipment..
@6by6by6 nope, land up here is getting pretty pricey, and rent is through the roof in some parts. Doesn't make sense to rent land anymore, at 100 plus an acre rent and all other payments it's not worth it anymore
The problem with tile is there’s really no place to drain it too. The best way to handle all the potholes is to create farmable channels on the surface to connect them all so they drain into one large slough on the edge of the field
If one wanted to, how would they go about removing those slughs? Tile lines and fill the low spots? I'd imagine it would be a pretty expensive venture, just wondering how you'd go about it?
Last fall he rented a blade to pull behind his tractor and dug ditches between a bunch of sloughs and combined a bunch of low spots to drain to one main low spot.
September 29th is very late for seeding winter wheat as crop insurance won't cover it if it's seeded after September 15th. I hope you get a very long fall to let that wheat germinate to surface and it'll grow good next year
An insurance company will insure anything to cover any eventuality, it all depends on what premium you are prepared to pay them. The only people to profit from insurance is the actual insurance companies themselves. A bit like estate agents & legal representatives, they haven't got your best interest in mind, only theirs. 😂
@@leddielive if private insurance was the only option for protection against crop losses no farmer could ever afford to buy it. Without government backed insurance policies would be too expensive and in a bad year with limited payouts a lot of producers would go out of business and that in turn would disrupt the food supply
First of all, let me just say that I love the way you think like an agriculture entrepreneur you always gotta try the things outside of the box that’s where the success is.
Man, Mike is so outside the box he's actually landed in the next box along. 😂🤣😂
When I worked on the farm seeding was also my favorite work.
Good luck seeding your winter wht Mike

Hopefully it's working out as you think it will do Mike, it should be awesome.😉👍
Great video Mike
Nice tractor love your videos
Like everything in farming it will depend on the weather & you will only know with hindsight
Whether the weather be good or whether the weather be bad we'll whether the weather whatever the weather whether we like it or not. 😎

You are a brave man going through those damp low spots ( I don't have good luck doing that; usually get stuck ) .
In that case, Faith Hope Farms is the place for you my friend, they have an excellent 'stuck list' running there, you could hit it outside the park!
Gotta have seed in the ground for insurance to kick in...
seeding was my second place. I love the combine

Bonjour Mike magnifique vidéo et le tracteur le semoirs et bien équipés et le guidage est bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
Good seeding 🌾Mike 🍻👍😉🇮🇹
And I love combining but I never really get to
Yes, me too!
It's so difficult without a combine! 😛😜🤪😝
Hey Mike... don't remember seeing a video comparing the wheels vs tracks?? Was wondering if you could do one in an upcoming video
I know all about going around Sloughs.
Its bends with me, although my medication 💊 has kicked things up a notch recently. 🤪🤔😝🤭
Could a guy put in drain tile and dump the small water holes into the larger ones? Eliminate some of the pain
I'm really surprised Mike hasn't purchased a dozer for up north yet. With all the land work he needs to do. Seems like it would be cheaper than renting or hiring it done.
Skills and time
Really, you're going to let Mike loose on a bulldozer, are you crazy? 🤪
Wheat as a Cover Crop? Might work. Let's see how it goes.... 4:06
Fall rye.
I have been told that the net $ a acre compare to canola.
Almost no input costs snd makes a good rotation.
I love you Mike
Mike, if your going to roll it. Why would you not wait until the spring to it? Winter wheat normally bounces back from having cattle walk on it and grazing it. I would want to wait to roll it to push the rock back down that winter freeze pushes up.
You are a smart person
Mike has never done this before as they always seed in spring. Hes learning as he goes.
@nikphoenix wow even after cattle grazing? I study agriculture and ive got a mate who's going to do a masters to study the effect of sheep grazing on winter wheat yields. Word in my area is it's increasing yields through increasing tiller quality when the regrow. But who knows, that's what the research is for!
@zanecoates7082 I doubt sheep would be good for yields. They tend to pull the plants out of the ground. Not leaving a lot to regrow.
Used to graze sheep on winter Oats in the UK if crops got to forward before the winter worked well
Hopefully you were able to spend a little quality time earlier this week with Ashtyn & Chapel on your birthday.
It was busy, but we took a day off on Sunday prior and went to a pumpkin patch/corn maze type fall activity. It was fun 🙂
Well well Mike, you've surprised us once again as we all assumed you'd be lost in the maze for a good few days! 😉
Ashtyn is really sorting you out good & proper, you go girl! 😂

Secondly, those lead tires on the Baurgault cultivator are the bomb.
I’m surprised they’re not on all the new drills .
Never hurts to try new things, how much combining you got left?
Not true. Murder, warfare & public disorder maybe new to some people & still aren't good things to do. 😂🤣😂
roll in spring

It would take decades if not centuries to recoup the cost of dirt work of that magnitude, not cost effective
No it doesnt work work like that, these holes are from melting ice blocks the from glaciers and have different sediment to a deep depth, look for kettle holes in wikipedia
Mike, I know you said your only seeding one field but how big is that one field ?
Taking on a bit of land as in trying to win the Extracre bid at Elfros? 🤣
The only question I have is why wouldn’t you connect the sluws and sell fishing cabins sites to off set the farming drought years??🤷♀️
The sloughs are practically empty during the drought years & when they are full of water there aren't any fish in them, unless you're suggesting rearing fish which is a whole new problem. 😉
Good way to add organic matter to the soil. Lots of roots in addition to the chaff.
Hey Mike, how do the 800 r46 lsw tires compare to the 800 r38 Michelins?
Great question, like you I'm curious to find out the difference. 😀
Mike. I have a question. Would tile draining improve the moisture in this field.
With all of the rocks in that area, it makes it a son of a bitch to install tile
What bridge are you using to run john deere guidance in your case tractor?
Whaley do some people have the cart at the front and some like you have it at the back?
You guys got 28 degree weather there still?! Mid September we had freaking 12 degrees here in Finland -.- And you're still far north.
85 F here in the Upper Midwest today... been really hot and dry here in the last 6 weeks not a drop of rain either.
Morning
Keep the engine up in the power band and pulling hard.😊
Does it have a Pyrometer on the exhaust manifold? 6:57
Hope those Northern farms are cheap to acquire, seems they come with a high percentage of wasteland and built in inefficiency and would be more suited for smaller equipment..
@6by6by6 nope, land up here is getting pretty pricey, and rent is through the roof in some parts. Doesn't make sense to rent land anymore, at 100 plus an acre rent and all other payments it's not worth it anymore
How many acres is that fields 🤔
If you seed after Oct 15. Yields go real down. The wheat does not tiller
Why are the exhaust so big on caseih. Can you ask and respond. Thanks Mike and family
That’s where the engine emissions treatment takes place
How do you map out your fields?
Are you going to put tile to plant all they land ?
The problem with tile is there’s really no place to drain it too. The best way to handle all the potholes is to create farmable channels on the surface to connect them all so they drain into one large slough on the edge of the field
R u overall happy with ur case tractors ???
You are not scared it will not freeze during the winter are you aspect a lot of snow because underneath the snow is it less cold.🤔
Yeah he addressed this very thing in the video. Pay attention.
Mike, how is the canola production this year? Will u post some harvest vídeo of it?
Canola was down this year to below avg 30-40 where it wasn't hailed or blew away.
how many acres has that field ?
Any loss to snow geese when th seed sprout? Say a couple hundred.
How much propane did you burn in the dryer ?
2 tanks
So we don't role winter wheat down here. What is the reason you have a need for this?
Lodging would the reason, I roll everything
How come you like sending so much Mike?🤔
If one wanted to, how would they go about removing those slughs? Tile lines and fill the low spots? I'd imagine it would be a pretty expensive venture, just wondering how you'd go about it?
For now it seems to be more effective to pick up more land, instead of investing time and money to improve little things on existing fields
Last fall he rented a blade to pull behind his tractor and dug ditches between a bunch of sloughs and combined a bunch of low spots to drain to one main low spot.
That looks so weird the changing wheel size I'm guessing due to the camera and curve of the rear window
Would tiling that block be worth it?
Love your videos Mike any updates on the 715
No update yet
September 29th is very late for seeding winter wheat as crop insurance won't cover it if it's seeded after September 15th. I hope you get a very long fall to let that wheat germinate to surface and it'll grow good next year
I hope for a long fall as well, not only for the wheat but I actually don't like the winter cold months 😆
He is still good for crop insurance deadline to seed winter wheat and fall rye is sept 30, been like that for a couple years now

Does anyone grow sorghum milo in your area of farming.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
👋🏼😎
I guess you don't put in any tile to drain your wet spots
An when you tell temperature is that in Celsius or Fahrenheit??
Fahrenheit would be below freezing, not hot like mentioned
Are you mental?
He's Canadian so all temps and distance will be measured in Celsius and KM's
Y wouldn’t u fix all those slews and get rid of them, dam u can’t even farm half ur ground because u never fix any of ur fields
