Nathan, as a 27 year high school chemistry / AP Chemistry teacher, I was impressed by your problem solving when it came to scaling your application rate. You utilized a basic concept I constantly stress to students. Increasing a sample size reduces experimental / measurement error. 👍. Three minute calibration versus one minute was a good call.
Design for the pads. Is more your need for flat spots. To park cars. To entertain. To bounce a basketball. 1” rise in 4 feet is fairly flat for above uses. 1” in 2 feet will drain well. Just give yourself some of that 1:4 near the house.
NATHAN YOU ARE FULL OF SO MUCH INFORMATION IT IS AMAZING ON WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR PROCESS OF TREATING SEEDS AND CHEMICALS PART OF IT VERY INTERESTING KEEP EVERYTHING IN CHECK ALOT GOING ON!!! THANKS FOR SHARING IT WITH US AND TAKING ALL THE TIME TO DO SO!!
LOL after 6 or so yrs of watching farm tubers i have learned when the farmer starts off saying no rain for 10 days is a good thing, it means by day 8 we will see a video from the same farmer complaining its too dry.
Your talking about going in the field and I’m snowblowing 4 to 6 ft drifts here in ND. I wish we could see some dirt. Going to be another late spring. Great video
Hey Nathan, NEVER get tired of watching and learning about all these things, every year,. ALWAYS EXTREMELY INTERESTING to ME ANYWAY 😅, keep up the AWESOME WORK, CYA SOON on your next video 🚜🚜 have a Great Day 🚜🚜👍✌️😎🔥🔥🔥
100% agree with keeping everything inside when able to. You missed an opportunity to save some sweet corn this summer. Raccoons need to be controlled there are too many on the landscape.
Is this going to be another early bean planting year like you did either last year or the year before. I'm betting people will be out by Wed/Thurs of next week.
Not really. The processor for Golden Harvest is 2 hours away so it would be a bit of a haul. There's a Pioneer plant closer but I'm not really interested.
Just a further question/clarification about seed rates for the beans (and any other crop in fact!) do you plant with a target plant population per square meter / yard in mind? If so do you tweak the seed rate to achieve the population target for any of the crops relative to seed size? I was thinking about the potential initial germination and establishment vigour in view of your comments on big seed versus small seed in this respect.
We have a target seed per acre rate. Could be anywhere from 120,000 to 180,000. Our planter does a good job singulating seeds so seed size dosent affect it much If you were using a drill you would have to adjust for every seed size to maintain the correct population
Do different soybean hybrids have any specific uses? Example: Would a specific hybrid be favored for food production (soy sauce??) versus animal feed? Could a smaller bean hybrid bring a premium price if marketed for a specific use? Fewer bushels, but more per bushel.
Couple things, beans are not hybrids, corn is, sometimes I say the wrong thing. A bushel is 60 pounds no matter how big or small the beans are or how much room they take up. There aren't differences in uses of the beans we grow however there are specialty soybeans with specific uses, food grade, special oil content, clear helium, tofu, etc.
@@BorderViewFarms Another technical error surely Nathan! a bushel is specifically a measurement of volume (64 US Pints or 35.2 litres. Your standard for a comparison basis from one sample to others commercially may well be accepted as 60lbs. How are you paid on delivery of this crop? By bushel price or by actual weight delivered? The size of the beans in a bushel will result in variation of the contained weight. My point being that there will always be a reduction of beans per bushel as seeds get larger and vice versa as seeds become smaller.
@Dan Whiteford No, when dealing with grain, a bushel is measured in weight. Soybeans 1 bushel = 60 pounds. Corn 1 bushel = 56 pounds. When we deliver soybeans assuming 13% or lower moisture, it is net weight / 60 = bushels. It does not matter what the test weight is or the volume. I understand the traditional bushel measurement is a volume but, not when dealing in grain.
@@BorderViewFarms Thanks for your answer, just hope no offence was caused in the process!! I will go back to land area measurement in hectares, yields in Kg per hectare and test weights in Kg per hectolitre. Fertiliser applied in Kg of nutrient per hectare and sprays applied in litres per Ha and measured in litres or kilogrammes or fractions of!!! Dan 😄

Sure wish you had been around
40/50 years ago. A true wealth
Of knowledge.
Concrete. Is my vote.
Asphalt is an annual maintenance head ache. And if you don’t get a heavy enough duty design it will be littered with puddles.
Design for the pads. Is more your need for flat spots. To park cars. To entertain. To bounce a basketball.
1” rise in 4 feet is fairly flat for above uses.
1” in 2 feet will drain well.

If you film it we will watch.
It's never fun to blow a steer tire on a semi, good on Phil for hanging on.
Was a trailer tire
@@BorderViewFarms much better.
NATHAN YOU ARE FULL OF SO MUCH INFORMATION IT IS AMAZING ON WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR PROCESS OF TREATING SEEDS AND CHEMICALS PART OF IT
VERY INTERESTING KEEP EVERYTHING IN CHECK ALOT GOING ON!!! THANKS FOR SHARING IT WITH US AND TAKING ALL THE TIME TO DO SO!!
Thank you for addressing my question Nathan. Your welcome for the concrete knowledge you already had.
Thank You

Lol not usually in the spring but yeah sounds about right
I enjoy watching the bean treating
Your talking about going in the field and I’m snowblowing 4 to 6 ft drifts here in ND. I wish we could see some dirt. Going to be another late spring. Great video
Yes it’s time. Hope any big snow melts up stream doesn’t cause flooding in fields
There's not any real upstream where we are. There are 5 watersheds that begin in our county.

Over in SoDak...some raccoons over there near Storla Station, came down with a mysterious case of lead poisoning...or so I heard.
Good morning
That Exceede is way better than
the old black powder. $3.00 is cheap
Very informative, good job!
Missed a content opportunity, should have given dad a go pro.
Looks like Mickey Mouse did your forklift oil line hookup. Way to many failures points.
Good stuff Nathan, was wondering how the new truck is working out and if Phil had any thoughts on the new semi? Thx for all the vids, keep em comin 🇺🇸
Pretty well I think. Had a few air leaks we had to fix but mostly running good.
I think you want what is called a branch tee orb to jic with a jic on the tee.
Awww dat raccoon though!!
Very informative video Nathan. Thx. Love your content
Is this going to be another early bean planting year like you did either last year or the year before. I'm betting people will be out by Wed/Thurs of next week.
Not as early as that but yes starting to look like we'll get some early beans planted
You ask any women and they will always say yes
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
We hit 90° twice this week
Nathan does size matter to the lady farmers out there??? 😁😁😁😁
I thought size always mattered! 😂
Have your ever thought about growing seed beans for golden harvest or really any seed company ?
Not really. The processor for Golden Harvest is 2 hours away so it would be a bit of a haul. There's a Pioneer plant closer but I'm not really interested.
How long have y’all been planting golden harvest?
This is year 16

How's that drive home from work?
Are you still running the heater?
Yes but it runs much less when it's warm out.
Do different soybean hybrids have any specific uses? Example: Would a specific hybrid be favored for food production (soy sauce??) versus animal feed? Could a smaller bean hybrid bring a premium price if marketed for a specific use? Fewer bushels, but more per bushel.
