God bless you for explaining your fertilizers, tillage, and buffer zones! Perhaps it will help people understand a little bit of growing crops that thrive by using the animal waste.
You guys are doing a great job and do not listen to anybody that does not know what they are talking about. Thanks for sharing and have a nice safe day!!!
You two are great stewards of our enviroment.
Farmers aren’t the monsters some people like to say we are. We care.
FIRST TIME WE HAVE VIEWED THIS FARM. GOOD VIDEO AND WE SHOW THEM TO LOTS OF PEOPLE INCLUDING SHUT INS . KEEP UP THE REAL STUFF...
I’ve gotten use to cleaning out our pits and honestly it doesn’t ever bother me, 2 and a half years of working with how’s from babies to 300 lbs guilts and breeding from time to time I’ve seen it all.
Keep up the great work you guys do up in Iowa!
Liquid GOLD!!! That's exactly how I looked at it when I was dairy farming before I retired from that chapter in my life in 2012. You made an excellent explanation of how, when, where and why you took the valuable commodity in manure and applied it like you do. Every time I drive by a farm pumping manure I always took in a really deep breath before I enjoyed the smell of liquid gold. Tork and I are the same age and I would be really proud to be a part of your podcast sometime and give you a comparison of how we farmed in Upstate New York. You are doing a tremendous service to the Agricultural community with these podcasts here and on Barn Talk. Keep up the great work and thank you for your time today.
Excellent explanation of the manure process.
This channel is going to be big! Subscribed after this first video! All best from Poland, Europe :)
This was a really informative video. Thanks for the education.
“shitters full clark!!”😂😂😂
Thanks for video very informative.
I really like your detailed explanations.
Love your videos and humour. Very happy I can't smell your sampling🤣🤣. All the best and hope you can guess my country🇿🇦😊👍
New subscriber. Brilliant video 💪🏴
Keep up the good work on the land preservation front!
Yes sir! 👊🏻
I'm not a huge fan of hog barn confinement, but it looks like you guys are doing the best you can with the buffer zones and reintegration into the soil with the spreaders. I've seen they use lagoons in the Southeast and they seem to have lots of issues with the lagoons flooding out in heavy rains. Is it possible to get a yield out of your buffer zones by planting in fruit trees and hosting pick your own a few years down the road? Do you guys ever run a fallow season on your acreage or run cover crops between? I'm happy to see more people utilizing lower or zero tillage operations trying to save the soil as much as possible, it's a good thing for everyone.
I'm not sure about their operation, but yes you can get a yield out of the buffer zones. Often times even the grass can be used for fiber ex: animal bedding or for fuel/biofuel. some plantings like switchgrass can be used for both. Also, if a conservation agency installs trees or provides cost share, they typically won't plant out fruiting ones beside the channel to avoid fruits and animal droppings (which are nutrient dense) from plunking into the stream.
Another great video!
Thank you for explaining the process of how important the manure is I knew it was important but not that important as I do now so thank you.
Good information lads👍👍
I’ve been there done that. We pumped out of a lagoon. We had three inch pipe on the pump. We had to prime the pump that was hooked to the tractor . That was fun,🤤 we had an agitator on the other tractor. Moving pipe in heat and humidity of South Georgia was quiet a task. Glad I don’t raise hogs anymore. Got out in early 1990s.
My father had pigs when I was growing up. He was small compared to this farm but had a couple lagoons that he shutdown in the 90s as well. They had a 30-40ft long agitator/pump that they backed down into lagoon to stir the lagoon and pump out when it was time. Then they had 4x4 honey wagons that had very wide tires for floatation on the fields. They would spray the fields black when the row crop farmer wanted it for fertilizer. Free for the farmer and helped dad out with a place to put all of it. I know 1 of the lagoons had 1 million gallons in it. This was in NC.
Orchard grass and costal grass is some of the best grass for cattle. I know costal can grow just about anywhere and only needs about 6 inches a year to survive.
I no till my wheat mainly because I plant winter wheat. I harvest in June and usually get grass bales off the fields by September sometime before depending on the rain. But when I flip the ground I’m hurting the root system. So yeah. Some hippy reasons lol
*GR8 explanation, thanks for posting!*
Thanks for supporting! Hope you learned something 👍🏻
@@thislldofarm *Oh I did! It was a great tutorial!*
An exceptional and educational video, well done.
My thought is as you are already giving away manure to your neighbouring farmer friend as you don't have enough land to use it all on how will you cope with disposing of the manure from the third set of buildings when they come on stream with even more manure?
Enjoy for video from 🇮🇪
Great video
I’m here with the broilers😂 it’s like I got “smelevision”
I do know what that smells like because we live close by one so yes we smell that good old country crap. Thank you for what you do GOD BLESS young man and your family. Thank you for sharing.
The countries ive lived in dont have flat lands like this, MO is blessing
I like a frac tank or using a fert spreader more than dragging a line around the field.
😂🤣 your dad seems excited lol
Every day!
@@torktalks5573 it's been a long 11 months
You guys should talk to Dave Kaltenburg on Facebook and have him bring some triune to put in the pit and get rid of the crust
WOW man! You got good shit!
Amen!
Great summary! Do you happen to place the manure via gps so it is defined inches off next years planted rows or is it random placement?
We don’t have the goody go fast hardware yet to lay our corn rows right off the manure furrow yet. We’re working on it. Definitely a good goal though.
I always wondered how you got the solids in suspension when pumping into your manure spreaders. I was hoping that you didn't have to draw off the liquid and use a skid steer to finish scraping and loading out the solids. I thought you might have an aeration and agitation equipment
Installed in the pit when built.?????
thanks for the video and the explanations,
I know that the biggest nutrient needs of corn
are in the growing period of the plant, so from May to July,
why not wait to schedule fertilization in April,
just before sowing, or better yet, in June?
We put more nitrogen on during that time. Side dressing.
The biggest reason we don’t apply in the spring is compaction. Any fall compaction will freeze out by spring. Spring application can be risky due to weather also.
We still have a small farm in Iowa 130 acre leased out
Can you do some thing about the smell??
Youre dang whright about the manure and great explanation its a shame that this is a farmchannel ,would be good of this was on timesquare NYC, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Can you do a equipment Tour
You previously indicated the the "Big Company" provides the feed for the hogs. So, Do you sell the corn to local granaries or ethanol plants for (hopefully) profits 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes sir, hit the head right on the nail Ken 👍🏻
Enjoyed the video, Do yall use More Than Manure in your pits
No, we have used a product called Mach 7 with mixed results. Currently not using any additive.
What was the John Deere with duals they have?
Hey guys
hello, maybe I'm wrong but I find 244 kg of nitrogen per hectare, how much are the needs of your yeld corn crop?
We pump our into a lagoon ! The drag hose it in the spring
Theres probably a good reason for the feed being in plastic sacks, they can just leave it outside if no-one else is around and if it rains the feed wont get spoilt
What was the analysis of the manure
Do you plant on top of the knifed in manure or between the rows ?
The manure is applied at an angle to our rows. When we plant some seeds are right on top of the manure, some are beside it.
@@torktalks5573 thank you, was not expecting that you would plant on an angle.
Great video guy's but I'm still left wondering what happens when it hits the fan? Just where does it go? Now I know where it goes, and thanks to you folks so do the rest of us. And that ain't no pile of crap
Is the pig manure good for cattle pasture paddocks. We have an 3200/year pig unit and I'm thinking of using it to manure our cattle pastures/paddocks.
Won't it cause infection/diseases in the pigs
Thanks
Heard a dairy farmer once say he was a manure producer who sold a little milk...
You aren't getting a very composite sample . Shouldn't you sample after agitating the pit thoroughly?
We do. But it takes a few days to get the results back and we need a baseline to decide the rate we’re going to use. The samples we get while pumping don’t vary more than a few pound of N per 1000 gallons so not that far off. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
No till is the best thing and my dad with poor grond will his no till and cover crops on a good year with rain in the summer he can get 200 plus corn.
Lot of CZcams channels ran off people by fighting with trolls every video. Remember any comment bad or good counts and means viewers are watching. Next time use pvc as a milk shake straw.lol
Hi guy good video! So what ur saying is ur putting just over a gallon of manure per square foot of crop land?
No
1 gallon to 10 square foot
@@columwoods8467 ur right I went back I thought he said 44000 but he said 4400 per acre
Roughy 44,000 sq. ft. Per acre. We put on 4400 gal. Per acre. Thanks for watching!
Put a valve on the end of that pipe😁
Do you guys have to add anything to your manure so you can spread it??
Nope, just stir it up and pump it out that’s all we do.
👍
👍🏻
When the lab test the manure do they give you an organic material content...
How much pigs do you have?
Where do you guys get your pigs 🐖 from
I'm about to eat dessert, I wonder if this video will make me nauseas?
Only if you’re eating chocolate pudding! 😂😂😂
How many pigs do you have?
The farmers around me wouldn't take the manure for free. I'm too far for a drag line direct, so I have to truck it in. We're putting in storage and pipelines with some govt cheese money, and have a continuous applicated system being built that will work with a big flat bed semi trailer with a gigantic reel of hose. That with some swing hoses and we can apply with crops in the ground and not knock them over.
Torq , I hear that there is thousands of acres out there that is " dead soil"... meaning that farmers cant grow any crops on it.... I dont know .... is there any truth behind that?....
You might want to adjust your camera settings I've notice all your videos are overexposed .
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Hi How big is your land??? My family owned 2200 acres in Iowa / Greeting from Transylvania, Romania / yes my family born in Iowa/ I think they paid only $1 silver dollar for acre prime land back in 1900
My grandpa used to farm pigs and whenever he smelled pig manure he said “smells like money”
Commercial manure has so many additives to it.
I worked on a hog farm and we said it smells like money.
The circle of life one day you are green and growing good then you are falling through the slats as poo
Haha you got that right 😂
Your gain is up too high and the mic is blowing out and it cant process your sound
Dose pig shit steak bad or do just get use to it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Stink? Oh it stinks. But, it pays its way!
It’s to bad some less than reputable custom applicators and even farmers can be what sticks in the public’s head when thinking about manure applied to crop ground. For every 99 guys trying to do it right.....it just takes 1 to screw it for everyone
why wouldn’t you just tape the bottle to the pole stick it down in there and then just wash it off😂😂
Don’t drop that tape.
I’m lucky I didn’t 😂
That's really interesting to see. Different countries, different regulations. The amount that you have spread is equivalent to 240 kg nitrogen per hectare and you also did it in the winter.
To put it exaggerated, here in Germany you would go to jail for this 😂😂
We submit a manure management plan to the DNR and update our acres, soil analysis and yield results yearly to make sure we’re not over applying. Soil fertility plays a big part in application rates. Thanks for the comment!
Would be bad if you had to scratch your nose after getting the sample.
After 12 yrs working in a city sewer plant, I would stick my hands in pig sh.. too.
How about Florida's leaking septic systems
Haha ya I bet it’s real tasty.. 😂
So you don’t do any of your own field work
No, besides a little tillage and running wagons during harvest. We don’t have equipment for it. Trying to save money to buy more land one day. Then we’ll go equipment shopping 👍🏻 trust me I want to it’s my dream.
Well we all know what pig shit really smells like. Lol. Sewee!!!
Poop jokes!!!!
A day all about the poo
Gotta have it 😂
You check out on the internet how useless it is to put manure in your feild when it’s fall
All your nutriment go away and your plant doesn’t consume it
That’s funny. When we take our soil samples the nutrients seem to be there. My corn seem to grow real well. When we do stalk tests, the plants aren’t deficient in nutrients... I’d be careful what you read on the internet. 😉
The internet isn't always correct. Be careful what you believe
It's only useless on light (sand) soil. Sandier soils are prone to wash out. If you look at the soil map of Iowa, you will quickly find out, that TDFs location is dominated by loess soils. These fairly rich soils don't really have an issue with nutrient losses.
Every one you know needs to see this video About Bill Gates
( why he owns the most farmland in America )
He has drastic changes planned for the future of farming
Giving it away? Sell that SH*T!!!
Not a market for it around us! Maybe someday.
🤮🤮🤮, but very educational.
