Great Action Shots this video like watching the machine work up close! Thanks Also at @ 18:00 great moment of seeing three generations working and talking!
Nick had a massive smile looks like he had a lot of fun hanging out with that actor guy but being from Saskatchewan Canada where we grow a ridiculous amount of wheat I would say plant straight into it we judge by how dark the stubble looks in the spring yours looks fairly dark and rotted so should have any trouble if we do anything we just hit it with heavy harrows at 10 mph
Zack is one of the greatest RU-vid people known to man. He has a heart that cares for other people which is very cool to see. We need more people like him!! Keep up the good work Zack and stay safe out there!!
You shouldn’t till the wheat stubble in at all. We plant a lot of wheat where I am from and we plant corn and Milo into the wheat stubble all the time and have great success.
It was really awesome to see your farm in real life. I've watched your videos for a long time, and it felt surreal to actually be there and be able to help turn on the grain elevator and load a truck it's always been my dream to be on your farm for a day and see Midwest machinery and get lunch with you also to meet you and Onyx. Thank you, Zach Johnson
I always found PTO shafts to be easier to deal with when I grease the shit out of them, however I’m not sure if one would run into issues with corn dust then. Any thoughts on this?
Zack, save the money, time and effort. Give the no-till a try. Seems like a great test plot and I'd be interested in seeing the results Vs regular till. Have a great planting season.
Plant right through it. The wheat gave good tillith, and creates a moisture barrier when left alone. Side note, I would really like to see some uncut footage of Becky editing the recordings. There has to be eye rolls and head shaking!
Out here in Maryland we plant right through the wheat stubble with a heavy deer population here it gives some protection on the beans the first couple weeks
