I farm in Tennessee. This whole swathing thing is new to me. But it makes sense. I would almost like to try it on out wheat to get it out a week or 2 earlier. Idk maybe that’s not how it works, lol! Rockin Robbie told me to check you out . I’m glad he did!
Glad to see things moving along.You reminded of FaceTiming with grandkids when they drop the phone, thought you were gonna leave us in the field when you drove away! Great video👍
The way you were feeling when you cut late into the night was how I felt watching your video after working a 12-hour shift at the pharmacy. That's not in any way your fault, of course, just the situation I had to deal with. Life goes on. Try again for a better day after some rest.
Yes, some great shots. My eye aren’t working well either because I thought I saw some teeth missing on some on the reels. Thanks for sharing. Take it easy
@@Northern_Farmer dry would definitely be nice!! I'd trade you at the moment... Only 40 acres of oats left to go. But it's all got fires around it. Can't see to combine it. Besides that, EVERYTHING is shut down because of the fires. UHG
Yeah blacking the ground sure helps, our prob was a 6.5” rain in one day but 11” in under 2 weeks drowned out allot of our stuff, half of invigor I’m swathing right now is 50% good 25% drowned and the rest is 2nd flush of red-root/wild oats and wild buckwheat. And yeah our corn and soy is turning silver now since it was -2c last Monday night, 2020 can kiss it!
Do you ever have any occasional problems over the years with wind scattering the canola up in your part of Alberta? Just asking as the Saskatchewanian farmers roll it on cutting to try prevent it.
Odd time yea..but usually rolling it is worse...the big winds come and take the whole swath and roll it away..were unrolled will get messed around a bit but its still there
@@Northern_Farmer Ian at Canadian Beekeepers Blog posted a video the other week where the family farm's Canola crop got hit by 90km/h winds, it looked like a right mess.
@@damonens9478 yea you never know these past few years ..and heavy frost coming on Tuesday might have froze some of it..dont have to worry about that now
So does your wife bring dinner out to you when you work so late into the night? I'm not a farmer, but grew up around them, and the field looks pretty good over all. Hind sight is always 100%, so busting your own shoes about not burning is just one of those things. I think all in all you are a very good farmer, very talented and make very good decisions. Congratulations on your nice fields and your farm seems to be a very major success. Always nice seeing you Tyson... Stay safe and good continued farming.
@@Northern_Farmer OMG, I did not realize you were single, why I took for granted you were married is beyond me. I'm not married either, two divorces for me was enough, they just take your stuff, so if you ever do get married get a prenup agreement so you don't loose the farm if something happens. I guess you could always order "door dash" or another delivery food service... Take care... Thanks for your reply.

there are lol
Pretty scenery
Looks like you are moving along pretty good with that machine !
I dont have a speedo.... but must be 6 mph
Hopefully it dries out/matures so you can combine it. Thanks for the video Tyson
Same wishes here.
oh it will... just to get in combined dry would be nice..
@@Northern_Farmer dry would definitely be nice!!
I'd trade you at the moment...

Yep I think that last field with the nifty camera shots is going to do pretty well for a guy!!!
Better lol
Man that's surprising how heavy most of that one field was
Yea but I noticed some aster yellows in there this year..hope it doesn't affect yeild to much
Thanks for the video on the Canola .
Any time!
Very good video thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
Yep it pretty hard to do much of anything without eyes! 😄
lol
Why no roller in back of swather .......
I dont roll it... never have
Nice swarter Tyson.
WHATS WITH THE RED PICKUP TRUCK THAT LOOKED LIKE GRASS GROWING UP AROUND IT ?
Thats my dodge

Well Im thinking all that extra straw in the soil held in more moisture than the fields I burnt....
@@Northern_Farmer yup, ye better buy more bins for what comes off it next year tho eh, lol.
Get'er combined before the wind gets it.
So you chop the canola green and let it dry lying down?
It's AWESOME to see how everybody , all the different farms , harvest the same chop 👍
No, they swath it and let dry😉
I hope those big fluffy windrows don't blow away
Shouldnt
Sooo...cash crop or feed for livestock?
Well combine it all... even the shitty stuff has to be for insurance purposes
keep on farming

You had a fly on your eyebrow at the end hahahahah. Thought I'd say it before someone else lmao
Damn skeeters were out the bastards
@@Northern_Farmer lol
How long does it take to set up for stand off filming ?
2 minutes
What do you use the canola for
Canola Oil.... Crushed seeds from that process are used for animal feed
It's hard to do alot of things without eyes hahahaha
Hahaha
Your not rolling the canola??
Nope
Two hundred and sixty seventh , beat that
I can't but, i am here before 1,400 lol.
Why not leave it a week and then swath it at night. Looks a little too green?
Its not that green... Im not waiting for snow to fall on it
@@Northern_Farmer yeah thats actually fair to say. I forgot you guys had an early snow last year lol
@@damonens9478 yea you never know these past few years ..and heavy frost coming on Tuesday might have froze some of it..dont have to worry about that now
@@Northern_Farmer i hope our straight cut variety goes good this year . First time I've ever straight cut canola
Do you ever have a problem with flea beetle
Sometimes.... not to bad though
good luck
Thanks
