@@michaelwatson7298 in the reds, Lasoda has traditionally been superior to pontiac for me, but this year the pontiacs all sprouted and took off while the Lasoda and yukon golds slowly sprouted over 2 and a half months. Talked to some other guys and they had the same issue.
Deer are a MAJOR problem here. We kill well over 100 a year in 5 mile radius and it looks like they are still increasing in number. We’ve never used twins. In the mid 90s a lot of farmers went to twins, now nearly everyone is back on singles.
The rear (smaller) hoppers are granular insecticide boxes (Temik, Thimet, etc.). That stuff is similar to sand in consistency. A few pounds of it goes a long ways. It’s not used with every crop.
I have the same type planter and I offset the 3 point off center 3.5 inch’s and return plant the same track thus twin rows and much prefer twin rows due to increase yield, grades and row closure.
Can you just leave the potatoes in the ground. Till you want to harvest? I leave my garlic, ginger, and tumeric in the ground all year. Until want to eat them.
I kill the vines when the spuds are the desired size. I can sell them all as quick as I can get them lifted and bagged. I would be worried leaving them in the ground (if you chose to store them that way) would leave them susceptible to rot and insects (ants love potatoes in drought conditions)
@@PatrickShivers Thank you for reply? So glad you have a ready market!! I will be at Masons Auction in Graceville. Defuniak Springs I think is on the ninth. Some heavy equipment but not a lot.
@@PatrickShivers Not sure if you use level app. But that is what I use or Proxibid for other auctions. I want that rotating log grapple. The chinese one. Want to try it. It's the chinese one at Masons. They have a lot of the chinese baby track hoes there this time. On the 9th I think.
Great video. while I appreciate Millennial Farmer's humor and content style. Your stuff always leaves me learning something, I really love seeing the technical side of it and the fact you always look like a coal miner afterwards shows that YOU are doing the work and busting your hump to earn a living. Thank you for what you do.
😂 I commented on a video a couple years ago, “if the farmers you are watching don’t look like this then they ain’t doing the work”. I get filthy every day.
Looks like you have planted pecan trees in the corner of the pivots, I planted my last corner 7 years ago and now have very little dry land crops. Good you tube
Film some of that stuff! You may be the next Veggie Boys. Only stones down here are Native American artifacts. They are concentrated in certain areas in most fields.
Patrick should sweet potatoes need to be done the same way and what the model number of you planted do you planted peanut 🥜 corn 🌽 soybeans with the same planter
The stack fold 12 row planter is a 1720 Max Emerge XP. The 4 row drawn planter is a 7000. Field corn, soybeans, and peanuts are all 1720. Popcorn, green beans, butterbeans, and peas are 7000. My tator planter is a Deere also. Its a 216.
This one is ground driven, the last one my father bought (my brother-in-law still runs it) has pneumatic seeding. Pretty awesome to adjust the seed rate on the fly as you enter a dryland corner.
@@PatrickShivers we run a 7200 12 row front fold for beans and corn. Got a 6 row 7300 for cotton. Either will still run if the monitor goes out. Kinda like the dash in your 4960.
@@LloydSpivey I have a 7000 4 row. I love it. No monitor though. I ride looking back with the lids off and periodically stop on every row to make sure they are all putting out.
