CORN PLANTING STRUGGLES & DRAINAGE TRIUMPHS
Corn planting in Iowa 2024 finally kicks off, with a struggle. We have issues with the corn planter from the get go. Colt builds us an essential tool for planting and I walk a field looking at the importance of drainage work on the farm.

    The tile that isn't working, do you think thats due to poor grade control or did they put the pipe too deep to effectively pull water out of southern Iowa clay soils? We have some put in by a reputable contractor about 30 years ago that never helped as much as it should have, we've dug it up and found it was 60" deep and that doesn't work south of Hwy 34. We plowed some tile in over the top of it at 30" deep and it made a huge difference.

    Well Ben you get forty chances to get it right in farming, so you still have 30 more tries. I am on my forty seventh try this year. We’ve seen the benefits of pattern tiling just like you, seems to take three years for the tile to get to its maximum potential. Congratulations Molly!

    I'm glad to see you post a new video. Regardless of the sound quality, it was easy to understand and I enjoyed watching. Tell your brother in law that we all age and we can't stop the calendar so the "old man" he hacked the idea from will inevitably be him, sooner than he expects. I'm saying this in jest but there's a grain of truth in it. I never thought of Wayne as an old man but as a guy who was determined to help a younger guy get his start. Of course, I think Bandit was his favorite, lol.

    I’ve been so worried about you with this tornado season being so crazy. And yes, I can see the tile lines in the diagonal. The corn looks taller & thicker on those lines. Having your own plow, doing the work yourself & liking to do it works out for you all around. You’re so good at it, that’s a fallback skill if you ever needed to bring in extra income too. Another job, not that full time farming & a pumpkin patch business isn’t enough work for ya.😂 I’m incredibly proud of you 2! I graduated with my MS in ‘93. My son just finished his freshman year, 1 YEAR cost as much as my Master’s. I REALLY tried to talk him into a skilled trade. Nope.
