Your not alone. Longest wet spring i can remember(70 yrs old). Farm in Ontario.

don't you use lime you know why dividends are falling in June because then I can tell you we walk on the north side of the earth, where the sun rises and sets it's there for but don't have to do anything in June with seeds

great video ethan

What happened to Mike ?? He move on ?

Its August , when did you make this video. ?

Glade to see you back

I have been planting in not ideal ground in my day working on the farm too.i remember planting spuds in some questionable dirt once.thw tractor had all she could to pull the planter.i called my boss to come out and he stopped me with 25 acres to go on being done.said it was to wet.

You ever get electric to your new bins?

Schaeffers grease is some gooooood shit. Love the synthetic moly they got. And we always run their oil on the farm by the 55 gal barrel... all of schaffers products are impressive honestly.

Be glad you got 6606 never got 50 bags I ordered in October

Dk 11499?

Not an easy planting year.Lets hope for great yields

Great video

three point drill

Farming

Well you admit it. We all have made the same mistake. Crocodile Dundee made that same mistake 😂😅

I live in elanora

Ain't farming great 😂😂😂😂 it will get better Ethan😊😊

great video ethan

Here where we farm, there is alot of cover crop"rye" . And a rule of thumb here is to not kill it till it's planted. I've seen guys kill it and not get it planted and never would dry off, they ended having to burn the field to dry out.

Matt Griggs in Tennessee cover crops most everything and may be able to answer some of your questions. He had the same observation about cover crops pulling moisture after rains allowing him back in the fields sooner. Might help next year? www.youtube.com/@griggsfarmsllc P.S. the beans look great in the shorts!

Heifers are good for making money long term. Old timer i used to work with had a thread file fixed several bougared rod ends like the axle. Ive used a triangle needle file they're not as good but xan work in a pinch most folks aint got dyes that large

Hope you get some of the rain that’s trying to come through today in our area so far I got two drops just south from you lol

Its never easy working alone but your doing a great job. I've been there and knowing what your dealing with.

Started planting the saturday before mothers day near marshall. Finally got going,

calves are looking good , hope you have a good year for you and family

I hope when you first met your wife you didn't make that same mistake you just made with the cows 😂

That is the joy of fixing anything.it is never easy.

Cows are looking good. Thanks for the video being solo is tough I'm sure. We appreciate whatever you can get out for us.

😂😂😂😂

What have you planted in that wheat stubble ?

Yeah that Beck’s guaranteed replant is pretty nice! We only had to replant some drowned out spots in about four different fields so it wasn’t too bad this year for us!

What blades do you have on that Reel Disk?

Beans on dirt will grow not ?

Why not plant into the green rye, then burn it down? Are they RR beans?

Nothing beats a Steiger got that same tractor,actually I have every Steiger ever made,always till your ground

Fun stuff Ethan good to see ya back on channel

Did you lose your hired hand this year ??

Are you growing seed beans for pioneer

Thx for the video. Nice to see u back again. Couple thoughts from someone who doesn't do this, but would cutting the rye for hay a week before u plan to plant help. Cut it, let it dry a bit and bale it up for your cattle. Feed it to them immediately, cause I hear it doesn't store too long. But that would put it way back and open up everything for tillage or straight no till planting. Less material out there as well so, in theory, should b decently dry. If it's plenty wet rye, bale and wrap for silage bales. I hear cattle just love that. Just seems like an extra step is needed to make that rye plantable. We do constant no till planting in Canada here. We also plant crops alot more dense (7 to 12 inch rows) but a smaller plant (wheat, canola peas ect). Most will just run a heavy harrow over their field before planting to move all the chaf and old material around and allows air and wind to get at the soil and dry it out. Yes, we have different soil and practices in field prep, but may b an idea to help u long term. Goodluck this season

I don't know if they'd let you or if you could and I don't know itd help any but you might could take your hay cutter over that rye and bale it before planting maybe just a thought. We cut overseed rye for hay and wrap it a good bit each year

That rye must be robbing a sh1tload of nutrients or are there other benefits?

Did it say dunb a*8 for operator on the 700

What is that your pulling for tillage?

I guess that is a SPEED PLANTER 40 ac hour 😮😮 fast !!! THANKS SIR !!Those wheels on the back of that planter are not going to close in that stuff SPIKES SIR !! 😢

You're young, you're learning and cover crops require management, while bare ground does not. You will figure out what works on your soil-it's different for all of us. My ground has been NT for 20+ years and cover crop the past 10 or so, and it has been a learning experience for my tenants. Our soils are different (100 miles north of you) but when I started cover crops in the 90's the first problem I had was leaving it live too long and getting too dry in a dry spring. It's good to see a young guy being careful with purchases and busting ass to make it work. Wish I was 50 years younger to do it all again.

Just spit milk out of my nose when I saw the operator name in the screen

Good to see you still making it happen brother. Your boys gonna be big enough to run that stiger before you know it! thing for me i dont kill cereal rye until i plant or the day of planting. Water cant be sucked up from a dead root. Food for thought. Many blessings this year to you and the family!

We never had good luck with cereal rye either. Tried wheat last fall and way better. Heaviest ground we got and was the mellowest ever. Planted beautiful

You have come along way I am so happy for your progress it pays off
