In short, I am a farm vlogger and an equipment tester! I prefer to push things to their max :)
Oh, you're still reading this? ok... well, haha I am just a crazy farmer from SW Saskatchewan who loves what he does! I live my life on edge and I live it in the moment. I also love the everyday challenges of farming and decided to show you a little sneak peak of life on an ever changing farm. You guys are awesome! And no, I don't use Facebook nor Instagram.

Your canola is gonna emerge flawlessly on that disc harrowed field compared to notilled lentil stubble. Something you couldn't get away with at the south farm!
Mike, I need that shirt or a few of them. Would be a perfect advertisement for you and your channel, people will read that, wonder and then ask, heck maybe a hottie will see it when I'm at the grocery lol. Seriously, just like what you're wearing, simple but says a lot
Haha I remember the struggle with the X9, I would really love to see the New Holland CR11 in Lentils and also would "love to get to see" if it's really useful when the straw gets stuck in the combine since it is able to reverse the rotors and has a different cutting process of the straw as much as I know... but there are only that few machines of it out there, probably won't get to see it with mike unless New Holland is really willing to show it.
So I'm curious if you harvested the lentil seed? And all the stubble we're seeing is what's left behind? Or was the lentils grown for like a green manure?
I used to plant flax which had emergence issues in clay hard pack. We went from 7 in spacing drills to wider spacing 10 12 and 14 in putting more seed in the rows planting a bit heavier rate then the new seedlings would pop the crust worked very well
Is there a reason you don't burn the stubble after harvest. Does it have a function being left like that on top apart from possibly helping retain moisture
Mike we come from two totally different lifestyles of farming I grew up on a tobacco farm you cover a lot of acres my respect to all the farmers you feed the world one way or another thanks Mike really enjoy the videos keep them coming always interesting
Howdy Mike, I hope ya'll are doing well, I get it, it's a riddle... ( Keep, Good Try, Real ) ha !! I figured out your shirt 😂 Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends
Not true. Plenty of equal sized or larger operations in Montana, the Dakota’s, Texas, Nebraska, California and Colorado. There are several operations in Michigan, Iowa and Illinois over 40,000 acres. RDO farms of North Dakota/ Minnesota (same people who own rdo equipment) raise over 200,000 acres of potatoes in Idaho and other states. And that’s just potatoes. They farm several hundred thousand acres of small grains and corn as well.
