I'm always amazed by the non farmers that always know more than the farmer who is actually farming the land. It's a headscratcher for sure. You did a great job showing/explaining it. Yet there will still be haters out there that refuse to get it. Great job and carry on.
@@dennisjenkins7040 thanks Dennis
Very good video! Ty 🙏🍉
Excellent video!
Thank you for taking the time to try to educate non farmers. It’s probably some of the most important work that you will ever do and you’re great at it. 👍🏼🇺🇸
@@FailureatRetirement thanks
A great discussion! I stopped by your market last Saturday and purchased some cream peas. You were very busy shelling peas. While waiting for the peas, I did have a great conservation with another customer (Matt) about the area and your channel. Thanks again Matt! We have already enjoyed the peas! Take care and be safe....
Thank you for getting the facts out. I'm up here in S.C.. Northeast part of the State. I wish I could get down there. Maybe sometime in the future. Take care God bless and keep em coming!😊
God bless you and your family Patrick!
@@gregrhodes8451 thanks Greg
Enjoyed!!
@@user-oq7fj4ri2g thanks Larry!
Patrick you are a great teacher. Thanks for sharing
@@MrSparks701 thanks for watching
Ohhhh yes i will believe how many will not find you after you give detailed directions! I wonder sometimes
Howdy Patrick
Thanks for this video and your explanations
@@brycekirby1567 thanks for watching!
Have an old fashion dove shoot! Gotta love people telling others how to do their job and probably don't have have the first clue about what they are talking about. Keep up the good work sir.
Patric Shivers for president
@@darryladams519 No thanks! I have a degree in Political Science (from Georgia Southern) and NO DESIRE to be counted among the slimy beast that are today’s politicians
Good video on explanation of different tillage methods.
@@edwinfaglie941 thanks for watching
Hello, Patrick! Another fine video! Of course deep ripping pays...
@@luisnunes7933 thanks for watching Luis! I always look forward to your greeting.
@@PatrickShivers 👌
Great vid Patrick! I have heavy clay soils and I always deep rip before I plant a crop👍🏻
Thanks for watching Mike. Where do you farm?
SW Michigan, got some of that red clay up here on my farm
@@mikehaas2380 you do any hops or blueberries?……and do you pull for big blue or sparty? I prefer M-state. I have experimented (unsuccessfully) with growing hops. Thinking about putting in a few acres of blueberries. Georgia & Michigan are the blueberry states.
No hops or blueberries yet, ph is a bit high(7.6) Maize and Blue here bud lol. Blueberries need real good irrigation which I’m still engineering yet👍🏻
Great video your videos explain slot on farming where very dry here in north Carolina I don't think the yields going to be this year
@@chrisbubba6000 yields are off and prices are down. I heard the banks are bracing for 30% of ag loans going into default
@@PatrickShivers sounds like the 80s all over again
We dove hunt alot after corn harvest here in Eastern North Carolina. Big on dove hunting
@@markisb3585 early season behind corn here, late season behind peanuts.
I hate that DeWitts sporting clay NC stop doing Dove Hunts!!
Ain't it amazing that people who use smart phones, pad and desktop computers, think that farmers should still be using 19th century methods and technology to raise the food that they are getting fat on? Totally rhetorical question, but I have asked people the same thing, and most are baffled by it. Your crops are looking good!😊
I have actually never seen a side by side comparison as you did today. The differences were striking. What this really shows me is that a good farmer needs to speak to his experts, and trust his instincts when it comes to managing his/her dirt. We can't assume that one way is a catchall. I read a study last month where notill actually hurt corn yield in multiple regions but, on the other hand soybeans seem to manage fine without tillage, and in some soil types can even thrive. Maybe I am greedy but by the looks of that shade of green I would subsoil and disc all things always. lol
@@SeanSweeney-vm2kk on my ground, with my crops, subsoiling pays dividends. I’ve heard others, in different regions say they see a yield drop (on some of the same crops I grow) when they subsoil.
@@PatrickShivers it truly is wild, all those little variable all add up to make huger differences.
@@SeanSweeney-vm2kk yep
I'm no cover crop expert and definitely not an "early adopter" (we strip-till & use herbicides), but I think what they're advocating by telling us to plant into standing cover crops, is let the cover crop grow up really high (2-3' tall), then either roll & crimp ahead of planter, and plant into that bc when you allow the plant to get that height, as you roll and crimp it over, it then breaks the stem of the plant and lays on the ground and acts as ground cover holding moisture in, rotting down and smothering out future weeds. I have not tried this yet. We do frost seed medium red clover into our winter wheat and it usually turns out to become a good cover crop after the wheat is taken off mid-summer, but we do kill this off mid fall...it browns over winter, then we strip till into it come spring and plant corn.
@@EDBZ28 down here our clovers grow during the coldest part of winter and die off during the summer heat. We plant clovers in October, they go to seed in March, disappear and new crop emerges in fall. The roller/crimper process you’re describing is what they call “green planting” or “planting green.” It is popular up north. Anything that grows during our summers isn’t killed by crimping. So if you plant into a green crop (even if crimped) the green crop will choke out whatever you planted. Planting into herbicide burn down cover crop or harvested wheat is very common here, but the rows are almost always strip tilled ahead. No till cotton has been tried a lot down here, but I’m not aware of anyone that tried it being in business the next year.
@@PatrickShiversit comes down to the fact there’s no “cookie-cutter” approach to farming no matter how hard they try to make us think there is…I’ve gotten so I don’t even read the farm magazines anymore; nothing but propaganda from big Ag with an underlying agenda that benefits them in the end.
can you do a final yield video on the no till v. till for the same sorghum crop? Interested to hear the ROI on these two practices
@@segafarms if it is harvested for grain I will certainly do that. If it is cut for silage it may be harder to measure.
Like you said the conventional tilled crop looks better I like conventional til better because it's a lot easier to get rid of compaction even though we're on a sandy loam soil compaction is still a big issue.
I subsoiled my sweet corn ground twice before I planted, about 14-18 inches deep that was as deep as my tractor could pull it, and now that I'm done harvest and getting ready to plant pumpkins it's as hard as a brickbat
@@colefletcher-ox7xd rain will pack it tight
@@PatrickShivers that's probably what's going it
yea im going back to breaking ground, pre on that and spray after..or cultivate 5 times
@@CentralMississippiWhitetail I break all peanut ground (that’s standard down here). Level with field cultivator, then pre applied and cultivated once and watered in or cultivate twice if no rain/irrigation.
90% of the people criticizing us, are people who have been busy reading Old McDonald stories or playing farming games on the internet. They have absolutely no idea how a real working farm operates.
And a vast majority of people tilling us that our practices are wrong, and our way of life is destroying the environment are people who have never set foot on a working farm.
@@MarshallLanier Preach!
What was your tank mix for your burn down?
@@mailman4789 I don’t remember off hand. It was a combination . I was sick so daddy planted all the grain sorghum and sprayed all but the last tank and a half. He had a recipe posted at the well, I mixed and sprayed the final 40-45 acres. I followed up with atrazine the day before this video was shot.
Hi Patrick
Have you ever had a rock issue in your soil ? Or was yours all rock free ?
@@Signaturegen2 rock free on the land I farm, other than Native American artifacts. When I worked for my dad there was some rented ground we farmed south of here with some rocks in it.
You said grasshoppers are in the no-til? And not in the plowed part?
@@sirmatt6143 yes. They are seen in great number in all cover crop ground. (Doesn’t matter if it’s strip till or no-till). They like the cover crop residue.
Out of curiosity what did you study at GS?
@@Notbendover I earned a BS In Political Science with a minor in Speech Communication
Never listen to people who have never farmed. Also How do you sell your peas by the pound per dollar?
@@greenboyatgafarms2250 by the bushel. 8 shelled pounds @ $40
@PatrickShivers gotcha, do yall sell wiper snapper peas??? Just looking for advice on getting into sell some peas this year.
@@greenboyatgafarms2250 no.
Where can I come get peas?
@@ranchomoore 1300 w bluffton rd Fort Gaines Ga. Check with the MP Produce Facebook page to know when the farm store is open and what is available
As a boy in the early/mid 70s, it was not at all uncommon to ride down any road on a Saturday afternoon and see a line of cars and pickups pulled over to the side, and a group of people standing out in a corn field or millet field.
You just pulled over, grabbed your shotgun, and walked out amongst them. Anyone was welcome. You shot a few birds, shot the bull with a few of your friends, and then headed back to the truck to listen to the 2nd half of Dooly's Dawgs playing whoever.
Everybody knew everybody else and it was all good.
Now you have to pay to shoot doves.
@@MarshallLanier you nailed it, but left out the part about eating raw oysters on the tailgate.
@@PatrickShivers we'd haul tobacco to Brannen's warehouse in Statesboro on Saturday morning.
Stop at Boyd's Barbecue for a sandwich around 11.
Go shoot birds til about 3 or 3:30, and still have time to listen to Larry Munson call the second half of the Dawgs game on the radio while the grown men cleaned birds in the shade of a pecan tree and had a beer or two.
My daddy never owned a stitch of camouflage, but he could hold his own in a dove field wearing an kakhi work shirt and using an old 16 gauge hump back Browning .
That was 50 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday
Still got that old scarred up, beat up Browning in my gun cabinet.
That's the one thing I have that money can't buy.
@@MarshallLanier them old hump backs may kick like a mule, but they won’t let you down. Is it Belgium made?
@@PatrickShivers yes sir.
I have 3 of them. Light twenty, Sweet Sixteen, and Light twelve.
They range in age from the late 1930s to the early 1950s.
Daddy bought the sweet sixteen in 1946 with his mustering out pay from the Army
