Reclaimed 40 acres with the same issue. Seed with Rye for this year to help kill off the weed seed that you are bringing up with the disc then disc down next year to get seed bed In better shape for alfalfa and Timothy grass seed next year. Will give tree roots another year to rot away. Good luck either way you go and I hope you get a good seedling.
Hey Tyson you could seed it down now I think it would have lots of time to get a good start before frost comes. The piles of brush what do you do with them can you burn them in the winter when the snow is on. I was talking to my neighbor today and he said his winter wheat is a write off, it was 30 inch high 5 inch heads and the rains the last 3 weeks have just flattened it so what has can harvest will be cattle feed. No matter where you farm there is problems. That ground is nice looking soil.
Amazing man thats what i did for years and lots of hours.. pulling a International 490 disk and a case ih 7120 with 2wd and no duals... still have the 7120 I'll never get rid of it we upgraded to a Case IH MX220 for a big tractor with duals and FWD.
@@Northern_Farmer Oh it will rain, eventually, someday!! Lol Another farmer told me once, That every dry day that goes by is one day closer to rain. I thought well he has a point. Gives a guy hope in a strange way. Lol
Doing the same thing, except I hired a guy. Lol. Coming along nice there. Had a patch of poplars that we cleared but never broke. 20 ft tall and the quad track and disc are chewing it up. A lot of it looks like yours though that we are breaking.
@@Northern_Farmer about 20 acres was that taller poplar, had about 40 acres that we logged 25 years ago and piled two winters ago. That stuff was really sandy. Just went to powder being so dry. Then he’s got close to 100 acres of willow flats to disc down that we’ve had piled over the past few years and last winter. Should give me about a quarter section in all to have broke.
Great to watch Tyson, there’s never a shortage of work around the farm is there? Alfalfa would typically have a great chance in the dry soil with its deep root system yet one has to wonder what effect the smoke has on the bees for pollination? Have the bees been around with all the smoke you’ve been experiencing?
I know some guys use a 8-10ft heavy rototiller set to 3" down and run sharpened blades to scarrafy the surface, just gotta have a guy rock pickin around ya, its a one n done then seed canola on it
Wether you sees it or not depends on if you think you’re going to get rain. We had that problem here in Nebraska but it’s been raining pretty good as of lately. Supposed to get to be 100 here middle of the week. Hope it remembers to rain after that.
Every time I break ground after the first or 2nd pass I think what the hell have I done. 😢 Then eventually it works itself out. Having sod really makes it tough. It's so much better if you can burn it down with roundup first. But that is easier said than done with the weather
@@Northern_Farmer Why not? Everybody's saying alfalfa, but it sounds wet, and alfalfa won't do well in wet acid soil. Neither will birdsfoot trefoil, but it will be a little better than alfalfa. Won't have the tonnage of alfalfa, but it will out yield milk or meat per acre. If wildlife pressure is heavy they might pick out the trefoil, plant old fashioned reed canary grass, it is unpalatable fresh, but good for hay.

Seed with Rye now, and then in this fall or next spring spraying with glypohsat

Yea I havebto wait till Nov 1st. They should have dried pretty good over summer
awesome ground. Takes a while to get her but you will. great vid on reclaiming land
Thanks
Two video's back to back from my favorite farmer. Thanks Tyson I enjoy watching other farmers from across the country.
That worked up nice.
Thanks a lot...I have more videos coming

miss my farming days great video
Thanks 👍
I would seed it now Tyson. Get it off to a good start!
I seeded Alfalfa July 29th last year and it rained immediately. It made a good 6 (+) inches by fall and is a thick hay stand this year. In Manitoba.
Nice...you didn't cut it in the fall?
@@Northern_Farmer no just left it for snow catch. its fenced . was gonna graze it but it snowed a foot before the cows got there
@grantwtk that be awesome if it grew like that...but I'm worried it might not rain
@@Northern_Farmer
Oh it will rain, eventually, someday!! Lol
Another farmer told me once, That every dry day that goes by is one day closer to rain. I thought well he has a point. Gives a guy hope in a strange way. Lol
Tyson if you are going to seed alfalfa now would be the time give it ahead start for winter
Great video Tyson
Glad you enjoyed it

Sandy soil to? This stuff is pretty easy to break...small roots...was logged 15 to 20 years ago so all the old stumps rotted out

Looking very good Tyson! Great to get more acres to work with! Seeding it soon sounds like a good plan. Have a nice day! 😀
Thanks
Nice looking field pick up a couple sticks then put the seed to her. Keep the videos coming great job
That's the plan!
That turned out nice
Yea I'm going to go over it again here soon
Good day Tyson Wow snow yea. I remember hauling manure from pile & snow underneath Well good luck
Thanks
i am in western Kentucky and we have been getting the smoke from Canada
It's everywhere...
I am amazed that you can pull that with that little tractor.thanks😊
Its 150hp
That ground worked up nice! I would seed it as soon as you can.

Got er looking like a bloody garden. Nice job.
Lol thanks
Seed a cover crop this way you are sure to get something
My 2nd year of cover crops. 0-2 let’s just say
I know some guys use a 8-10ft heavy rototiller set to 3" down and run sharpened blades to scarrafy the surface, just gotta have a guy rock pickin around ya, its a one n done then seed canola on it
My neighbour has one
That thing is awesome
Paint the 7120 and space out the wheels .... Great tractors worth the little bit of investment and time...
Yes I really need to get it done...
Need a Wishek!
A wishek breaking disc...those yellow ones
I would drill alfalfa right as you get the seed bed done roll it rock hard and drill
Put a cover crop to it and cut it for feed.
Seed it with the next good rain. Broam and alfalfa would be sweet.
The next good rain hasn't come all year..
I'm praying for all of our great farmers to get some rain.
I see the smoke everywhere. I’m in south central Indiana and no joke, that’s how bad it gets *here* at times
Yea I'm in central ny and it gets nasty over here to.
Yikes that's crazy! Its not even that smokey in Southern alberta haha
We actually had 2 days of no smoke..then it's all back again...but either we are used to it or something but I can't smell it
Sees it to some kind of hay. Give the small sticks a chance to decompose
I think what ever you decide to do is good with me
Love the tillage videos.
Me to
Wether you sees it or not depends on if you think you’re going to get rain. We had that problem here in Nebraska but it’s been raining pretty good as of lately. Supposed to get to be 100 here middle of the week. Hope it remembers to rain after that.
Supposed to be a inch tomorrow
@@Northern_Farmer plant it if your ready. That will definitely e enough
I seeded alfalfa grass mix just last week july15...we put 1.5 bushel oats down with it to combat weed growth...I guess we'll see what happens
Shawn list of new things needed getting a little long now. That farming. Anyway good stuff
I like seeding grass seed only a little later in the year. Seems to work around Valleyview!! Lol
Lots of rain there lol
Every other day!
@@jimbob5715 yea and it misses us all the time

THANKS!
You're welcome!
Plant in corn next year,happy cows
I'd have to fence it
So you going to need to wait until snow on the ground to burn the tree piles since so dry up there?
Nov 1st is when your allowed to burn...
$20 canola work all that hay up lol 😮
I need more hay though
More hay ? Or less cows ?? 😂
Yeah your tractor looks two narrow i bet it’s probably really tippy
Fall rye, with broome and alfalfa underneath it
Just need to laser scraping it now and it will be ready to plant.
I have better luck seeding in the fall as long as there is good moisture.
That might be rare here
Seed alfalfa and brome Tyson
Seed it with your normal pasture mix.
I don't want to pasture it though..I want to hay it
Seed it to hay this fall.
🚜🚜👍👍
I would seed it now if possible
Can you guys burn those pills of brush where you guys are?thanks😊
You can burn Nov 1st to March 1st
Rye
are you going to burn the brush pile
Have to wait till Nov 1st
wILL YOU BE BURNING THE WOOD TRASH?
Yup...November 1st
No rocks ?
Very few
Cover crop
Pant now does tree foil grow up thier
Never tried it
