just seeing the snow on the ground gave me the chills 28 this morning but 62 while i am watching this now i still dont miss the snow great video as always thank you
Looks like it's working up pretty good with a touch of frost in it Mike. Thankfully you have a nice warm can and not an open station. Stay safe out there. See ya next time
Looks good to winter over. Stalks should be better to break down. I remember when I was young I'd say to myself that I was glad I was done, but knew I'd miss it. Take care of yourself and your family Mike.
We do some chisel plowing and vertical tillage. I started out today vertical tilling at 6:30 in 2 inches of snow by 3:00 it was gone and very muddy. We run tracks so the mud really doesn't slow us down most of the time. This fall was very wet here in southern Michigan. My grandfather used to say any fall tillage is better than spring tillage when a guy could be planting . Great video keep up the good work!
Thanks Anthony. I like knocking down the stalks with the disk then having my brother spread manure on it before I chisel it. Seems to work out pretty nice
Great awesome video mike, chopping them up and sizing them to decay is all a process. We didn’t do tillage cause soybeans and corn 🌽 harvest got too late and the cold froze the ground fast . 6 to 8 inches of frost in the ground now
@@farmshoffman8475 We have 1 more field of corn left and it was a sloppy mess. We are hoping the ground can freeze and harden up so we can get in there and get it
I don't know if you consider this exactly fall tillage but where I'm from disking in a little snow is almost a way of life. I did enjoy the drone perspective.
Although the only way I’ll ever be able to farm is with Farming Simulator, I do enjoy jobs like this. Just a steady speed back and forth, always progressing toward completion. That’s why I love to mow. I always do the headlands once, twice in some areas for turning around, then either straight back and forth, or follow the contours of the landscaping.
Hey mike.how.is.your weather up there.hope you.and allyouotherfamily. Have.a safe.and.wonderful Christmas and a happy new year Prayers are all with you.
Great video Mike,love seeing fall tillage! Do any of you guys do any deer hunting on your land? It looks like really good deer habitat! Thanks again for the great videos!!
Thanks Mike. I never got into hunting but my older brother does. I like hearing the stories and seeing the pictures but never got into it myself. We do have people that hunt there
Mike I’m not being critical I’m just asking but why don’t you all just chisel plow in the fall and then disk in spring? I realize it’s not my farm and no one knows your land like you do, so please don’t take this question as me being critical. Love the video
Thanks Andy, Glad you love the videos. I disk them now to break up the stalks so they break down in the winter time but also my brother will spread manure on these fields. Once he gets the manure on them then I will work the manure in with the chisel plow
Thats always the worse. We lucked out with these fields because these fields are usually always dry. I'm hoping to get these knocked down and get some manure on the field
Thats funny cause I went with the rows last year and everyone commented on how I was doing it wrong and should be going across the rows. I actually didn't bounce too bad and felt fine after it
There is always a chance. My brother doesn't really want to be a part of the channel so he wouldn't agree to taking my camera and making a video. Maybe I can get him in for little clips but I'll record some of the cows when I feed the cows
Yeah we lucked out with these fields. They usually stay dry and they actually didn't disked up too bad. I'm not even gonna try the other field we still have corn in
I don't really listen to the radio much in the tractors. I can't have music playing while the camera is on so I just leave it off now and listen to the machines work
