- Thanks for watching,
The planter run as well as I could have ask for. I really liked having all the loose dirt for it to run in. Now we’ll just have to get past the crows pulling it up and get a little rain on it.

Wow that brings back memories of daddy planting corn in the 70s.
Looking real good. Sure wish I had dirt as nice as yours.
Good Lord will take care of our problems, in His time and perfect way.
Yes sir he will.
Fertilizer is crazy this year.. but the way you’re doing it in a band right beside the plant is really efficient… those older guys knew what they were doing.. it’s cool to see how some of the “old” ways can save us new money! Good video!
Hey Big R, I usually plant with out fertilizer to see what type of stand I get first , but it always seems to be a slow start on the plant when I do that.
This man right here is my guru when it comes to farmall one row tractors (setting them up to plow in many variations) god bless him.
Thanks Michael but I know just enough to get me by. When I was a teenager I remember men that could set these things up so perfect. It was nothing to it for them.
Enjoy your videos. Relaxing watching a 140 plant sweet corn.
Thank you Todd
Yeah, me too. It gets worse as I get older. Enjoyed it as always.
Jay, that's a beautiful planting job. After finding you and Mr. Railey on You Tube last Spring, I was inspired to dig out the old 174 duplex outfit for my Super A. Since last year I have completely disassembled, cleaned, painted and re-assembled the drive and planter. I hope to be planting with it soon. Thanks.
Hey Jamie , Thank you. You’ll enjoy that planter.
Beautiful! I’ve been farming for 20 years and you will learn a thing or two every single day! Y’all are doing great! Keep up the great work/videos! God bless!
Thank You Jason God Bless.
I live in Eastern North Carolina. I remember pulling sweet corn and loading it in the back of our old ford f100. I use to eat sweet corn raw while I was pulling it. Taste good raw.
Hey Markis, nothing wrong with that I still do. Green beans too.
Man I absolutely love the setup here and the way you are doing it!!!
Thank You sir. I came up with this ideal last year when I was planting some sunflowers.
Good job Joey and Sammy 👍🏻
Hey Brother Scott I’m sure your not to far from planting if you haven’t already.
Very informative once again thank you for what you do! And yes folks these days are very selfish! Keep up the good work!
Thank You Shawn .
We planted Silver Queen and Peaches and Cream sweet corn last year, liked the Peaches and Cream so much that it was all we planted this year. You have a nice set-up with your little tractor, and your garden spot looks good. I made a row hipper for my smaller tractor this year, it does real good. Not cold at all here in Florida...
Hey Richard . I think I ate peaches and cream before. It was pretty sweet. Thanks for watching.
@@Jtwes It was a good video, you do a good job. I like your message, I live in North Florida, but went to Bible College in Winston Salem.
You are 100% correct on price of fertilizer. I bought some early this week Wow! $26 a bag. Seems like I paid $13 or so last time I bought a 50 lb bag. Gas is sky high, heck every is high. I love the planter setup you have. I go to Church with a guy in his late 70s he wanted to give me his grand daddy's old cole mule drawn planters both sides of his families planters. The handles are gone but they are both in good shape. I'm gonna keep them original minus the handles and weld a bracket up that allows me to use one of them behind my cub tractor. I'm gonna fix the bracket to bolt to the planter and the cub. I'll use the back lift arm to pick it up. He was excited to hear I was gonna use them. Your planter is doing a fine looking job. Keep the videos coming. Like I said in another comment I learn alot from you. Thanks!
Thank you for your kind words and watching.
I know the feeling. I started writing down my sprocket and plate combinations for the sweet corn and green beans and purple hull peas. Makes a difference as I get older. I fully agree with you on the other things. Looks like it is doing a great job. Can't wait to get started planting up here but I still have a little bit and the ground is too wet now. My ground is a little bit heavier soil. Thanks so much for sharing the video Joey.
Hey Bart Thank You. I’ll text you tomorrow.
Joey you know I know nothing about planting, that is one of the reasons I watch your post, to learn. Thanks for the video. Anything with the 140 is 👍
Super IMO. I am surprised no said anything about your haircut, looking good. Makes T happy!
Thank You Stanley, It was getting pretty long.
Hey Joey, that looked like it was doing just fine but you'll know for sure when it comes up.....right? I have a 186 planter for my 100 and a Hol-mac belly planter for my 274 ( haven't tried it yet). I have never tried to save Silver Queen to re-plant but I have planted some that was left over from the previous year accidentally and it did come up and produce! I think they discourage saving any hybrid variety though. Gonna try to plant ours this ''Good Friday''. God's richest blessings on you and your family this Easter and to all watching! He is risen! He is risen indeed!
Hey Bobby, I have planted silver queen that was 3 years old before. It did good. I always keep all my seed in the deep freezer. Yes indeed he is risen Amen.
Nice job Sammy!!! You done good with the camera and some real nice shots! Thank you for the great video and info.. I also plant Incredible sweet corn up here in Upstate New York.
Hey Rick I’ll be sure to tell him. Thanks for watching.
If you get a chance in another planting video, please go over that 184 planter. I know I am missing the seed tube and I would love to see how your bed knockers are mounted on the planter. Thanks for all you do, I love watching the 140 and attachments.
I will 👍
Loved the video. Man I love some gardening and that seed sower and fertilizer feeder was just the thing. I sometimes think I was born to farm but life took me in another direction. Thanks for taking us along on your amazing journey.
Thank You sir. Maybe you can plant some things in some containers.
Thankyou , I took my old 8n and busted up a little garden spot,it's small and a little rocky to till but I'm a optimist.
Everyone should be planting a garden this year and I mean everyone. So to make up for the shortages to come. Its the smart thing to do.
Hey Howie. Cant say that hadn’t been on my mind a little with all the shortages. Thanks for watching.
Another great video....good job Sammy.....I'm looking closely at your Dad's set up cause Ive got a piece here and a piece there of parts and trying to get a similar planter going. Thanks ya'll.
Let me know if I can help.
Yes you can save Silver Queen for seed. Save a ear from 5 to 7 plants for seed saving. Google explains it
Thanks Randy.
We planted silver Queen when I was a young boy on my dads farm. He always saved seed ears for the following year. Not sure why (he never really explained that part), but every 7th year he’d buy seed.
Growing up my grandfather planted 15 acres of silver Queen corn every year take to the market The Good the good old days
Hey Woody, you said that right , sad part is you don’t have to go back that far to be considered good old days compared to now.
TRUCKERS FAVORITE IS an heritage field corn and it comes in both yellow and white variety will make good roasting ears just shuck it back remove the silk best as you can and put some butter on it and wrap the husk back on it. When you put it on the BBQ grill on indirect heat then put the steaks on and go to cooking.
Enjoyed your video. Planted two pounds of Golden Queen Monday using a Super A and duplex hopper.
Hey Bill, My buddy Roger has a cole duplex. I wouldn’t mind getting me one of those new ones from cole.
I've got to get on mine. Im going to plant the honey select again this year.
I look forward to seeing that planter you have. Trying to talk a buddy of mine out of a 122 disk but he’s not having it. Lol
Great job……I plant with a Cole planter with fertilizer hopper that puts the fertilizer pretty close to the seed….. I use 5-10-10 to start on bout everything.as for the corn life I keep in a small fridge in the shop for 4or 5 years (I always check germination before planting) and we love American Dream (bi-color).
Love the little Farmalls ‼️😎🧡
Hey Carl
I end up putting it pretty close as well when I plant it. Hope to plant some today.
Great camera work.
Thanks Tommy
Silver Queen is an open pollinated corn that can be seed saved.
The biggest problem with corn is you will have to bag the tassels and ears and hand pollinate some ears to save for seed.
I planted two rows of stovealls evergreen hoped to get some seed off of it.
And for next time they recomend 4 row blocks for better pollination. 4 half rows are better than 2 long rows.
Great job planting Joe! That was $300.00 well spent. Before I got my box scrape, I used to level my slide rows with a 1x6 board bolted to the back 2 shanks on my cultivators.
It’s funny you brought up slide rows. Ours was always full of rag weeds.
@@Jtwes I'd leave the front 4 cultivator shanks on and bolt the board across the back to and plow and scrape them at the same time. I eventually got a box scrape and started using that.
I remember one time they got so tall I got that bog harrow out of the weeds and cut them out.
@@Jtwes Now that you mention it, I've seen people cut the slide rows out with a bog harrow in years past.
I keep notes on my cell phone, then I refer back to them as far as seed spacing ratios, etc.
Hey John . Good ideal. I really like the plate and spacing this year.
GOOD JOB SIR
Hey Cheryl
Thank you and Thank you for watching and commenting.
Silver Queen corn is pretty good and was my Fathers old time favorite until he tried a variety called "INCREDIBLE". He never went back to Silver Queen. He always liked either one picked a couple days early so it was really tender.
Hey Clark. It’s funny you said that because I’m getting ready to plant the other half of that field in incredible.
I always liked those shoe planters, better than double disk openers, they were easier to set the depth, and it staying set than double disk openers. Depth on corn is critical inch and half to two inches max
Got one just like this i just finished rebuilding the hydraulic lift on love these type tractor
I’m going to have to rebuild mine this fall.
Joey I've never had any success with saving Silver Queen seed, it either produced something other than Silver Queen or nothing at all, the Stowell's Evergreen is very close to Silver Queen, it's a sweet corn and it's a heirloom variety. I got the seed from Hoss Tools a couple years ago. But I do like the Silver Queen, it's still hard to beat! I didn't get to use my planter, I had to make a change. I hope to have a video out Monday on that. Enjoyed the video! Happy Resurrection Day!
Hey Brandon, Happy Resurrection Day to you. I might get with you on getting some of that seed. Look forward to your next video.
I just started watching your videos and subscribed. I plan on taking what I learn here and using it on my pitiful garden. I bought my lil " Homestead" back in August 2019 and my current garden is the 2nd I've had. The first was just to try out ground. I get quite a but of water runoff from.my and neighbors yard. I an on putting a drainage ditch or something for next year. It was a 15x25 or so, which was small, but this time, my neighbor made it a lot bigger. I had an accident and couldn't get it chopped out like it needed. We went ahead and picked what corn and tomates we had. I plan on getting a tater plow to get my taters. My lil garden got over run with weeds. My peppers didt do weell nor did my beans. Its pitiful. Anyway I just bought a brand new kubota bx1880na few months ago and plan on getting a few implements to help with my garden. Couldn't get them with tractor because they were scarce. I would have had to travel to another state to get what I need. I've been watching facebook market ace reigiously. Everything is too big for my baby tractor. Anyway, love the videos. Almost ASMR. GOD Bless.
Hello
Thank you so much for subscribing. Please feel free to email me if you have a question or watch a video and wonder why did he do that. Lol Anyway God Bless and welcome.
Keep it up
We definitely going to try. Thanks for watching.
I always heard that you can't save seed from any hybrid another good show, I just cleaned about 3/4 of a acre to plant sweet corn and I have another acre that has potatoes green beans squash tomatoes peppers and onions and peppers I think I will be busy this summer
You got a lot to keep you busy for sure.
👍
Kallstrom Sweet Corn Using JD 71 Flexi planter . Planted March 31 under plastic here in Eastern Washington , and it is now 7 inches tall , might have corn by end of June , MAYBE
That sounds early but then again you said the key to earlier planting. “Plastic “ lol
Sweet corn 🌽 is good but, I always preferred regular field corn 🌽 as well
But, then I'm a northeastern Arkansas boy, and fried corn is one of my all time favorites. Especially when you serve it with purple hull peas, and okra. Plus you can take young green chili pepper 🌶 and cut it in small pieces and put it on your plate and a spoonful of fresh fried corn and mix it in with the corn gives it a more
Scrumptious flavor.
You had me until the chilies 🌶 lol 😂
Good luck with your corn. And you have a great camera man. He does a great job.
Thank You. I’ll tell him he might get head swelling .
It was the first time I'd seen such a machine, so it was fun to see. I have a USA so machine handddrift an old thing in the handle stands right and left side it we have laughed at that you do not know which side h i o v
Hello Gert , I also have a hand planter I use some.
Watching you makes me wish I had a up grade to my A.
Hey Terry
Thanks for watching. I wouldn’t sweat it to bad A’s are fine Tractors.
Silver queen is a hybrid won't come back true. We use stowell evergreen it's an heirloom open pollinated. Corn can cross up to a half mile away.
Hey Danny, I kinda thought that about the silver queen I just wanted to be sure. I want to get me some of the Stowell. I had another subscriber mention that variety. Congratulations on the Hog Butchering that was a blessing indeed.
Most farmers have their inputs already locked in for this year but if this goes on much longer it will hurt them bad.
Hey Tony, I had a guy tell me the other day his herbicide went from 3000 to 9000 goodness.
Yep glyphosate has tripled in price. Others have tracked similar.
I just caught something watching a second time, if your closing disks aren't covering all the way there is some adjustment to them, they are the best set up IH had, until the early riser units inverted disks. If you can get them adjusted a touch deeper or a touch more spring pressure they should do a better job.
Good eye. Yes they don’t offer much in the way of seed covering. I’ve toyed a little with them but never got serious with it because the seed doesn’t give me any cover problems. That’s probably because of the soil and beds I make. If I were planting flat all the time those disk would have a more important roll.
So Joey when is the last frost date for your area. My area in Greensboro is April 24-31.
I’ll be honest I never look. When my pecan tree starts budding out I put seeds in the dirt. Lol
If everyone had the attitude of being our brothers keeper this world may be a better place. From what I understand, silver king is just as sweet as silver queen...The difference being that the silver king has less silk than the queen and its easier to get off the cobb.
Just bought this years silver Queen. I seen the silver king but I stayed with my old reliable. Lol
To answer your question on if you can save seed or not, the answer is no. If you replant the seeds you've saved, it tends to have an adverse effect on the next crop. It's not the same. I get a pound of Honey select every year, and whatbi don't use I'll plant it in a neighbors garden to get rid of it. I've used the previous years' seed the following years, and it germinated, and I had one year, and it looked like it was planted with a shotgun. Germination was at 25% at best. I tilled it under and went and gotten fresh new seed and had a great stand. If you can get it, try Honey Select if you can find it, it a SE, SH2 variety. Its name tells you how sweet it is and exactly what it tastes like. Once off the stalk, it keeps for a day or so before the sugars turn to starch. Also, why is that fertilizer hopper painted green?😊
Hey Kenneth I’ve heard of honey select my buddy plants it. I’ve never saved any I was just wondering. The hopper is off a 1010 John deer I adapted it to a 140. Thanks for all the good info.
Hi what is the space between the road and the average space between the seeds ,great video I
find watching 👀 old equipment with cog wheels and chains fascinating regards Frank in N Ireland who knows nothing about growing corn . 🤔
Hey Frank The row space 44 inches and about 8-10 between seeds could be a little closer. It’s hard to tell when your on the tractor.
Wow knowing that there's a food shortage coming I've been on a diet now for the last couple of months and I jumped on the scale today and made pretty good progress if everybody would lose 10 to 20 pounds of weight which is not difficult to do could you imagine the food that would be saved
Congratulations your probably right though.
I wish I had dirt like that on my place. alas i live about 25 miles away from Rocky top Tennessee. .... so there is that. I do have a bumper crop or five of rocks every year though together with my beans and corn and other side crops.
Back when we raised tobacco and had to use up all the fields I had to deal worth poor soils.
Corn don’t grow at all on rocky top soils too rocky by far
That’s why all the folks on rocky top carry their corn in a jar …………. I can see rocky top from my living room window…… when I can’t see it … gonna rain
Must be nice to work in the sand
It is especially when you spent all your youth working rocks and pipe clay we could have made bricks with. Lol
Put it on the side if the row right next to the row.
Camera man is doing a very good job, with his fancy camera...
Thank You I’ll let him know. Thank You for watching.
Need 2 see a couple of shots at end of row turning around and starting new row.
Hey Mike
I’ll do that. I always tell the boys not to worry about filming that . Lol
The problem is people take what they want to what they need. We have done a really bad job of teaching our children the difference between wants and needs.
I am wondering brhe same as you on the silver queen or other hybrids. It's a hybrid and what I was always taught bis that it will go to one of the parent crops or maybe not be fertile seed. But iknow my grandmother used to save corn and I even found some years after she does and I thought it said silver queen...I'll have to check that seed again to see what it says.
Iknow it would grow but how big the ears would be and the fertility of it?
I’m curious to know.
Some time if you have the chance, could you help me out with the gear drive "sprocket ratios" I've been trying to get an IH 56 planter to ground drive off its press wheel and just haven't been able to figure out the right gears. Thanks, keep up the great videos.
I’m not sure how much help I’ll be but I’ll be glad to try. Email me at joey@jtwes.com
@@Jtwes So the press wheels look to be the same, and the meters should be the same, how ever the 56 drives off bigger transport tires (I think they are 7.60 15 I could be wrong on that) so what I'm actually looking for are the sprocket tooth counts on your press wheel and the sprocket on your meter If I can i'm going to try and get a video of what I have for you . We are just getting going with the spring plant. Thanks
Finally made it to 4000 cmon guys we need 5000 people!
We’re going to get there and I’m taking you all the way with me Ben. You planting yet.
@@Jtwes ehhh possibly next weekend when it stops raining and drys out we gonna start on corn I’m running behind I got a whole field left to disc and half a field left to disc and plant also !
You can save it as long as it’s not a hybrid.
Hey Marilyn. Thanks for watching. Unfortunately it’s a hybrid.
We plant silver queen and my father in law would save some ears for seed .
Hey Andrew, Thanks for watching and commenting . Definitely got a lot of different thoughts on the matter. Lol
Silver queen is great but I prefer Silver King. Little bit sweeter, larger ears and always makes two to three ears per stalk.
Hey Jake. I have some I just hadn’t planted. Thanks for watching.
@@Jtwes I’ve planted some ambrosia bicolor sweet corn this year as well. I have an early model 140 that I use to cultivate and have a platform that I attach my sprayer to on the one point hitch. Been watching your vids when I need references on how to attach plows and do maintenance. Keep the vids coming!
I really like that blade that scrapes the top off the hill. I wish I could find one like it.
It probably wouldn’t be hard to make one.
What is the spacing for the seed?, did not look like much seed for that big area
It’s about 12 inches apart.
No. Silver Queen is a hybrid. Replanting from hybrids gets totally messed up crops. You can only save open pollinated seeds of any open pollinated vegetable and replant year after year after year. Some open pollinated veggies take two years to get seeds to save. Neat video!
Thanks . I’m working on getting a non gmo sweet corn. I kinda thought that just wasn’t positive.
@@Jtwes There a a few open pollinated varieties out there that are of course old varieties. They have even come out with a couple new varieties in the past couple years of open pollinated. Just have to keep from cross pollination if you want to keep that pure variety. Good Luck!!
Silver queen is open pollinated. But it's still a hybrid. It takes special treatment to save it for seed.
Lots of lost space in that field, must be 60" rows? Silver King is King.
Hey WHM thanks for watching. They always say camera adds 10 1bs lol. No there 44 inch center to center on the tires. I have a pound of silver king I might plant this year.
Nice job. That's all I plant, good stuff!
Great video I just can’t get enough of that 140.. what year is it? Mine has the same grille as yours and mine is a 72 model but mine has the canister oil filter.. where do you get your cultivator parts one of my inside shanks is missing? Thank you for helping others with your knowledge..
Hello It’s a 76 model. I get my parts at www.burchstoretractor.com or agri supply.
Now, I'm just learning here, but why did you plant the subsequent row so far away?
nevermind I see you went back. THX
Hey Nathan Thanks for watching.
Do you have irrigation or do you wait on Mother Nature?
Hey Julie, The silver Queen is all I can irrigate.
Ola amigo ya ba asembrar. Yo tambien ya estoy listo para. Sembrar saludos
Hola, te deseo mucha suerte con tu siembra.
Thats so neat never seen a planter on a fast hitch for a 140 farmall
Lot of cole planters were built for a fast hitch.
Fertilizer burn 🔥 usally comes from nitrogen it has inherently more salt in it than phosphorous or potash
Agreed
This little planter was made when you could get by planting one row at the time
I watch big tractor power and those guys probably wouldn’t have much need for a one row they plant thousands of acres. It works good for me . When I add up all what I plant and for other neighbors I don’t film I probably get about 3 acres a year out of it. Cole still makes a one row planter I would love to have.
With most corn, you won't get good results from seed saved from prior year's crop. 1) Most commercial corn seed is hybridized and not open pollinated. Silver Queen is hybridized. This meas the plants grown from its seeds will produce variable results. The plants grown from these seeds won't produce plants identical to the parent plants. This is true with any hybrid seed not just corn. 2) Much of the commercial corn seed sold is treated with fungicides which prevents dampening off and improves germination in cold and wet conditions.
Hey Dr Cowan
Thanks for watching. I saved some seed off some Stowell’s Evergreen.
I know I'm late but Silver Queen is a hybrid and shouldn't be good to save the seed... great video I think things have gotten worse since this video was made sadly to say...
Your right. Hopefully we’ll have a new planting video in a couple weeks.
silver queen is a hybrid it will not breed true next year. you need open pollinated to save seed. iowan chief, golden batam and country gentlemen all sweet corn. hickory king (white) and reid's dent (yellow) coen for grits and meal and feed.
Hey Joseph Thanks for watching. I had a subscriber give me some Stoveall Evergreen. May have spelled that wrong.
What state is this in?
Hey James . North Carolina
Like most all seed corn, Silver Queen is a hy_bread seed and will not work to replant.
I’m working on getting some sweet corn that’s not a hybrid. Thanks for watching.
Contact your local ag department or extension service.
I’ve planted some stovall evergreen which is a non gmo sweet corn.
I’ve planted some stovall evergreen which is a non gmo sweet corn.
Silver queen is a hybrid, so while legally you can save the seed, genetically the offspring is not true to type because it’s hybrid.
A subscriber of mine emailed me today and said he was sending me some stowell’s evergreen. It’s a heirloom sweet corn.
@@Jtwes heirlooms are great for saving seed, technically they’re inbreds. That’s how the seed stays true to type!
Write down what you did NOW!
Tonight at the latest.
Lol Especially after I seen the stand.
You can live with out wheat and corn .
Hey Lester Thanks for watching.
Silver queen is a hybrid can't save the seed
Hey Michael. I’m going with Stowell’s to try to build up seed. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately Silver Queen is a hybrid.
Hey Bob, Thank you. Some folks on here have said yes and some said no. I was thinking like you that’s why I asked.
You can save Silver Queen but it will not come back as Silver Queen.
Hey Jerry, Thank You sir.
I believe silver king is a parent of the silver Queen
Whats the best verifiable evidence you have that a god is real and do you believe in evolution?
I probably do not have the type evidence your looking for. It mostly by faith. I will say that with all the complexities there are in nature I do not believe there could be that much luck so to speak to get everything just right. I thank you for watching my channel and if you ever want to talk about it just drop me a email.
I think the words you are looking for are AMERICAN GREED.
