Back in the Day when I farmed, I always planted according to the optimum soil temperature for optimum germination of what ever crop I was planting. Over the years I saw this to be far better than relying on air temperature and the weather as my neighbors did.
There was much discussion on that with crop consultant & seed rep. Since there was still seeds from the original planting emerging we used that same variety. They believe there will be a week difference in maturity.
Here in North Florida a lot of the peanut farmers roll their fields before planting peanuts and corn. I know you have a different soil type but that might would break up those clods. Enjoy watching your videos.
Such a pity to see your soybean emergence look like that. Any ideas on why that happened? Also, do you plant peanuts in 36" rows? Hardly anything like that up here in the Midwest, and the closest you'd get to that is someone's sweet corn patch
Almost everything down south is on 36” rows. We had a heavy rain after I planted the soybeans followed by a cool snap. Consultant said the rain pushed the seeds down deeper in the sand. The clay areas of the field came up nearly perfect.
Ever thought of trying a case planter? Very good placement and the best closing system ive ever seen. The speed units ive seen plant over 99.5 percent constant as fast as 12 mph
If a load (each load is graded separately) has low quality then it goes to oil stock (peanut oil for cooking). High quality is shelled and then sold and sold to buyers such as M&M-Mars, or in some cases sold as seed stock. I don’t know where my personal crop goes as there is at least 2 middle men between me and them & 4-5 middle men between me and you (1.peanut buyer, 2. Peanut sheller, 3. M&M, 4. Distributor, 5. Store that sells to public)
Weather, weeds, worry,, bugs, diseases, fungus and soil conditions. I jumped and planted corn got 2.5 inches rain right after. Prayed and got a perfect stand. I thank God for work and widom. Keep up the "good" work of God. May God help your crops and wait.
@@PatrickShivers I planted 140 acres 2 years ago and only harvested 80 acres. I don’t know what the solution is, only thing that seems to work is lead and it gets old farming all day and shooting all night
Patrick I myself have realized the lord was answering my prayers a lot of times lol! All I could do after that is thank him for the knowledge and the answers to our prayers he is my all and all!
