Having farmed in the Aberdeen/Springfield area back in the late 80s/early 90s, your videos bring back some mostly great memories. Thanks for the great content!
I stumbled across your channel and have enjoyed the Idaho potato content. It’s quite a bit different from our Indiana potato farm but we are a quarter the size of your acres in potatoes. Ours are for chips and harvested in July.
the only down fall to your 1 point grease point is the 1line may not take grease I like all lines coming to 1 point with separate grease zerks to each point
You need to go watch more of the videos. What it does is break up the soil underneath the seed so the roots grow better. It also builds up the rows then puts dams and dikesfor water retention.
Crazy idea, sell that diker, buy a 12 row and use the 2 track on that and the wheeled tractor on the planter. Double the acres covered and you still run 3 planters. Expensive, but possible

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah that’s a little different. We harvest in September and they are usually pretty big.
Glad you explained the two pivots side by side. When I saw them I wondered why, now I know!
I’m glad you liked it. I figured some people might want to know why it was set up that way.
Just subscribed. Very few ( if any) potatoes grown here in the state of Georgia. Well done channel. Keep educating us.
Thanks for the sub! I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Enjoy seeing how you figure out how not to waste seed and fertilizer. Everyone does things a little different.
Glad you enjoyed it. There definitely is a lot of ways to do things.
I enjoyed your farming show brotha friend 😊
Thanks for coming. Glad you enjoyed it.
It's always a good day when I see the spudnik brand on a TH-cam thumbnail!
We like their equipment.
Why is the field so sandy ? 😮
There’s just sandbars across the valley where there are really Sandy Fields
That horse shoe is a treasure.
We actually find a few each year
awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
Thanks glad you enjoyed
Well if you embellish a bit you can say the horse shoe came from the Lewis and Clarke expedition 🐴
Haha right
the only down fall to your 1 point grease point is the 1line may not take grease
I like all lines coming to 1 point with separate grease zerks to each point
That’s a good point we may have to modify that little
i have nevere heard of nor seen this pc of equipment what does it do other than dig the side of the rows deeper

Do y'all own the dairy operations where you get your manure from as well if you do wouldn't mind seeing that setup as well
We don’t own the dairy. We just manage the manure. And grow some hay.
Do y’all ever find any arrow heads in your fields?
I’ve never seen one.
It is Idaho, after all 😀. Are those soils out there sandy or mostly loess like west of IF?
Our soil isn’t really sandy but there are some sandy fields around.
@@RockyMountainFarmer I was surprized how fast they dried out. Take care
Wow! Snow…isn’t it May?
Yeah we usually get some snow in may
What are you doing? Edit:I just found the video explaining what that thing is, might want to link it or whatever you do
Hey I’m glad you found the other video hope you enjoyed it.
Crazy idea, sell that diker, buy a 12 row and use the 2 track on that and the wheeled tractor on the planter. Double the acres covered and you still run 3 planters. Expensive, but possible
We need the diker and we could buy 3 new Lockwood planters for the price of 1 12 row. Would be nice if they weren’t so expensive.
Less talk more work 😮
Oh we do plenty of work I’m just showing you what we’re doing how else will we plant 3000 acres of crops?
That concrete must really wreck your manure spreader. You may want to see if your local tire dealer has a small plane full of "job opportunity" LOL
The concrete has definitely done damage to the spreaders. Usually it can spit it out but sometimes it breaks the chains.
Imagine how long you would plant if you used electric tractors, waiting for them to charge…
We would never finish
If you were Packing that Coyote wouldn’t eat calves Anymore!
Probably right
I am waiting for another video please make video
Hope to post it tomorrow. I’m glad you enjoyed this one.
