Great to see another video from you guys !! Thank you very much !! Looks like some beautiful weather ! You all please be safe and God bless you !!!!!! Eddy
I love your videos, I learn something about farming in your area of the country everytime I view one. I have one question, do you very notice the level of your pond/lake drop from pumping water to the fields? It seems like a pretty big area of water your pumping from.
You'all are doing fine. The videos are great and don't worry about video quality, normal people would rather it be real and raw as opposed to fake and too thought out or scripted. My entire family is from Texas and mostly west Texas. Does the heart good to see the area and watching you battle the wind and whatever to make it happen. Good Job ...Thanks Jack Baker
Glad to see you back working in the fields. Grass is sure odd, when I’m trying to reseed the dumb stuff struggles to get going but where I don’t want grass, it grows like crazy. Good luck!!
Glad to see the new videos. We like your channel. Noticed filing the fuel tank. It would be nice if you had a sight glass on the tank to indicate the level in the tank. I have never seen the sprig method before. Impressive. Thanks for your video. We like both of your dialogues.
Glad to see you guys gearing up again! How often do you have to clean the trash off your water pump screen in the pond? Do you actually get down in the pond too?
Hello there! I'm not this guy but on our farm we run both center pivots and travelers. Usually the pump intake or screen is so deep in our pond that nothing gets on it. We pull it out once a year during winter and if anything is on it we clean it then. The pivots water source is a 10 inch well that's 509 ft. in the ground. Every 8 years or so we have to scrub the casing. Hopefully this is helps.
You should keep rolling that field in several directions to continue to smooth it out. I would even roll my fields in production fairly often to keep them smooth. Couple times a month won’t hurt anything and is actually beneficial to the grass.
I come from a turfgrass background and that is what my degree is in... we roll all the time as it’s actually beneficial to the turf. In your case, I think it will continue to help with rooting, but it will also make cutting and bailing much easier on you and equipment. Rolling has actually become common place in row crop farming as well. Many farmers now have big rollers to keep their fields smooth as possible.
thats a very interesting looking pivot. it has drop hoses and a big impact at the end to act as a end gun. thats something i havent seen before. usually it may have a gun after that big impact to pick up what the impact misses.
That gas can is sweet! Now you're doing NASCAR pit stops on the pumps lol! It looks like that new field is corrugated for some reason it's not a problem if you do everything in that direction when making hay but if you have to go perpendicular it's going to be a hell of a rough ride just ask me how I know lol!
You’ll be surprised how quick that Bermuda jumps now that the temps and sunshine are getting up there. Similar crop (coastal Bermuda) here in Florida. Looking forward to watching it’s progress.
Wow timing is everything!! Hail was a little loud there for a minute! I thought where you planted your grass you had used your roller so the field would be flatter. I just was expecting a little less ruff. I'm sure that rain helped to get it growing. Thanks and take care.
I've thought about getting into the business of selling horse hay to local feed stores and horse farmers. The only thing discouraging me is the amount of money needed to pour in to make money out. I'll have cattle on the side to. Just wondering if you could give some advice.
Wow, someone upstairs was sure watching out for you guys, saving you lots of time watering the first time. Your field is looking great. Do you keep any type of log on your fields progress for the future fields you’ll be planting? You guys will be cutting and baling in no time.
What kind of PSI is needed at the reel? How far does that reel reach We are in a nasty drought up in Manitoba Canada and the hay yields were half of what they ought to be just trying to prepare for next year cause my guess is this drought will persist for a while
As a kid I always thought this stuff was neat. The old fast reverse big guns in the fields covering almost the whole field was awesome to watch. My parents never let me near it because it's dangerous with that kind of pressure and flow. Now I have a small collection of big guns mostly fast reverse and a small transfer pump but want to upgrade to something to run a 200 gun. My pump isn't big enough. Someday!
