Stinson Farms is a small family farm in Western Kentucky. I farmed for many years with my dad, brother, grandpa and the rest of the family. Now it's just me and my wife, our 2 daughters and son-n-laws along with the grand babies. Wanted to share our life with family, friends and anyone who loves the simple life on a farm. It's hard work at times but it's what I know and love. We have goats, chickens, a dog and a cat. We raise corn, soybeans, hay and a few strawberries and vegetables in the garden. We love to hunt and spending time outdoors or in the shop. I hope you enjoy the videos. Come along with us while we enjoy life on a family farm.
Thanks for that video. You don’t see many people using tillers for food plots and I’ve always wondered why. Seems like the perfect food plot implement.👍🏼
My auger hit was at the end, so I could reach in and push it out. Have you looked into a combine graveyard. I have one off a 6600 in good shape. Would need painted. I don't think they are the same, though. Good luck and congratulations on retirement. 4 more years for me.
The only thing I have trouble understanding is why you broadcast the fertilizer instead of using the fertilizer boxes on the planter and put it with the seeds
Hi Bill, I notice the new tractor really rocks around going through the field. Maybe letting a little air out of the tires would make it ride a little smoother? Thanks for the videos!
You've been doing a fine job young man and I would love to know what community you are located in if you would give us a hint I am a very nosey old man who spent a quite a bit of time around glasco
I don't even think you should justify turning cedars into posts. Its how they used to do it before dimensional lumber and its cool to be self sustainable.
We didn't get our tillage done until much later either, we also have a 4430, a '76 model and a John Deere BWF disk, sad that half of our stuff has already flooded out though.
hi how is the soybean crop doing take long to grow and put fertlizer and lim on the field first . where is this farm and beans go to whne ready pay good thanks for posting
I personally plant 15 inch rows. I recently did a video on the new(to me) White planter with a splitter I bought this spring. I really like it. HOwever, there are a lot of people around our area, including my good friend Cory, who plant 30 inch rows, so a lot of people believe in them.
Man yeah Mr Bill, I love your no influence approach to doing what works best for you!! Looking fwd to seeing those beans up and growing!! I can totally understand the planter approach, vs the controlled spill of the drill!! I bet that was nice when that shower came up to have the cab😉😁 Thank-you sir for bringing us along, look fwd to seeing what's next!! 😁😁🇺🇲🇺🇲🌾🌾🚜🚜🫛🫛🌽🌽
Does your 8300 have pack wheels on it? If it doesn’t, adding them or pull a cultipacker behind it would help a lot. We get a really good stand with a IH 5100 soybean special with press wheels. Same basic design as the 8300. As far as 30s go we shoot for 120-125k. Seed cost savings planting 30s is a big plus. Didn’t do any 30s this season though. Planning to notill a lot of 30s next season.
@bandyfarms6155 My 8300 doesn't have any pack wheels. It has drag chains. I think you are right about the cultipacker. Behind the 8300 I think I have a lot of beans that aren't deep enough and the ground dries and no germination. Do you do any fungicide on your beans? Is it worth the cost?
@@stinsonfarms6724 never done fungicide on soybeans or corn. A lot of people say it isn’t worth it on beans but some people swear by it. I’m curious myself though.
