Seeding up North!

- So decided last minute to seed a field or two of winter wheat for comparison with spring wheat and durum. I do love seeding!

When I worked on the farm seeding was also my favorite work.
Hopefully it's working out as you think it will do Mike, it should be awesome.😉👍
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.
Good luck seeding your winter wht Mike
Like everything in farming it will depend on the weather & you will only know with hindsight
You are a brave man going through those damp low spots ( I don't have good luck doing that; usually get stuck ) .
Great video Mike
Good way to add organic matter to the soil. Lots of roots in addition to the chaff.
seeding was my second place. I love the combine
always love when Mike postes 30 min before i start with online class🤣
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.
Nice tractor love your videos
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
Good seeding 🌾Mike 🍻👍😉🇮🇹
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
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??🤷♀️
Bonjour Mike magnifique vidéo et le tracteur le semoirs et bien équipés et le guidage est bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
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 🙂
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.
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.
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
And I love combining but I never really get to
I know all about going around Sloughs.
Hey Mike... don't remember seeing a video comparing the wheels vs tracks?? Was wondering if you could do one in an upcoming video
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 .
I love you Mike
Never hurts to try new things, how much combining you got left?
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.
roll in spring
Taking on a bit of land as in trying to win the Extracre bid at Elfros? 🤣
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..
Mike, I know you said your only seeding one field but how big is that one field ?
If you seed after Oct 15. Yields go real down. The wheat does not tiller
Hey Mike, how do the 800 r46 lsw tires compare to the 800 r38 Michelins?
Whaley do some people have the cart at the front and some like you have it at the back?
What bridge are you using to run john deere guidance in your case tractor?
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.
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
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
How come you like sending so much Mike?🤔
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.
Any loss to snow geese when th seed sprout? Say a couple hundred.
How many acres is that fields 🤔
That looks so weird the changing wheel size I'm guessing due to the camera and curve of the rear window
R u overall happy with ur case tractors ???
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
Would tiling that block be worth it?
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.
Morning
Keep the engine up in the power band and pulling hard.😊
Does it have a Pyrometer on the exhaust manifold? 6:57
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
How much propane did you burn in the dryer ?
2 tanks
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.
Love your videos Mike any updates on the 715
No update yet
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
👋🏼😎
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
