u fellers work the way I used too. There weren't enough hours in a day But I am now 76 yrs old and I feel all those long hard days, farming was a lot different in the early seventies and eighties. I had a custom farming business and could do almost everything a farmer needed cheaper than he could pay and maintain his equip and and they he didn't have to worry bout field hands. especially when there were just small square bales.
You guys are close to where I grew up and went to college. Had no idea peanuts were grown there. Cotton, yes, peanuts, no. And I learned that they grow cucumbers for a major pickle company out there. So proud of where I'm from.
I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a little trap door on the end of the seed tender hose to stop from overfilling. But that was hilarious when you was saying "Stop. Stop. Staawwwppp." I think your brother got a kick out of that. 😂 Glad to see a remote with that seed tender. I'm sure that made it a whole lot easier to fill.
Hi Conley. Is there any specific reason for not planting on beds.? And thanks for the videos. Watching you guys from South Africa. We are busy getting ready for wheat. Planting the end of May. May you have a great day. 👍
When you say Listed beds does that mean fields that are tilled? Imagine planting peanuts before the days of Seed Tenders that would be a lot of manual labor hauling bags. Liked how you have the "remote Control" unit in your hand to control the seed flow from the tender. Technology is absolutely amazing in how automated our lives are today. Another advantage of circle planting, I think, is you don't have to mess with planting end rows, very interesting. Hope the planting of peanuts goes as smoothly as the cotton.
Listed beds are basically rows that have been made taller so the ground isn’t as flat and doesn’t blow as easily. And yes I do love the remote I didn’t make a video of listing beds if your interested on what it looks like
Great video as always. Did you know that on dry days like your were in you can make a fist and give a sharp rap to your back window when you want to show us through it. If the peanut seed splits do they grow the same? I really enjoy these videos Thank you so much for sharing.
Is 150#/acre seed a common rate in your area? We put max 110/ac, depending on seed count/lb, on 36s (runners). We're trying for a spacing of less than 2". Also, do you use dry inoculant, or liquid? That seed tender is AMAZING! Nobody's really planting up here in SW OK yet. Not supposed to break the 50s today. And raining. Yay! Soils with more clay tend to stick to the shells and lower your grade. But a little clay holds moisture. I always have the best yields on those fields, although we'lll lose a little on grade.
Around here 120# is average. It’s liquid inoculant. But we tend to get the best yields on our most sandiest fields. Last year we had a field that did 7,200 pounds per acre
We only need the rows if we’re planting peanuts. If we’re planting cotton we like to plant into cover crop and minimum till to reduce sand from blowing
Yup we only get 1-2 inches of rain a year so we can’t rely on rain we have to rely solely on pivots. But surprisingly we’ve already gotten 2 1/2 inches of rain this year so I’m not complaining
