Manual Johnson Grass Eliminator: "Hoeing" Field Corn, Unconventional Approach? 

Mr Matt, thank you very much sir!! I honestly am truly proud!!! I used my grandpa's hoe some as well, it has a homemade handle 😉😁 I did too spend many a summer in a tobacco Field earning a few pennies this way!! Thank you very much sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍👍🌽🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁😁😁

That thing wore blisters on the ole "Skinner's" but we managed!! I am not as agile as I was in my teens "hoeing" tobacco 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 There are just a few places with JG bad, so I got most of those and any of those other bad weeds we all know about!! That cracked me up I figured the hat would seal the deal for sure!! Thank k you Russ for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁👍👍🌽🌽

Thank you very much for those kind words!! I am proud to say the least!!! I like that outlook, find the positive , improvise and over come 😉😉 Thank you very much for that and for always being here, I really appreciate that 😁😁😁👍👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yes sir Mr John, that it does!!! Johnson grass.nebrr stood a chance 🤣🤣🤣 Brought lots of memories from the past in tobacco rows!!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽

Can't blame a man🤣🤣🤣 Evening Ed, thank you very much sir!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽

​@@Pennies_on_the_dollar You really should be using a scuffle hoe on the weeds instead of a traditional hoe. I can weed my garden 5 times faster and do a better job with a scuffle hoe.

I actually may end up doing that Perry,I was hoping to have already gotten it out. But alot has gone on this week that really has put a halt to most things at the farm for a bit 😥 But we are going to do the best we can!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! And for the great input and advice!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌽

Yes sir, every little bit makes a difference for sure!!! I really appreciate you always being y, and all the support!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🌽🌽

I think it could be a lot worse, so I should be a lot more proactive in my thinking...that OCD is awful sometimes!! Thank you Mr Bryce for all your support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁🌽🌽👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

We talked a little that day while I was down there Mr Ron 😉😉😁😁 I really enjoyed being able to see how things were going for sure!! I can't complain at all about the progress, still.didnt all work like I wanted it too but blessed to be learning and seeing the fruits of my labors!! Thank you very much my friend for all the support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

It's a full time job on the weeds for sure!! No problem my way , I understand being busy for sure!! Sounds like your plate is FULL for sure!!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope things are going well for you too, cheers Mr Rich!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good evening Ron!! I can't say thank you enough for those words my friend!! It has been a long road, but walking down rows of corn sure did make it all worth while!! I truly believe that's the best way for me to learn and it has been quite an experience already!! Tje support and motivation are second to none,and I thank you for that!!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you very much Matt, it's not perfect but I can't complain to hard!! Isn't that truth everything is automatic now, does a man good to get out there!! Just can't beat keeping the rust off the ole "hoe" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 I'm behind two times over your way but will get caught up soon I hope!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌾🌾🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Some of the best words spoken yet, I TOTALLY agree!! Our forefathers worked hard to develop an easier system, but doesn't mean the old ways don't do just fine as well!! Thank you both for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍 Thank you, fingers crossed it continues to grow well!! 😁😁👍👍

Thank you Mr John for that, it has been a battle but I am super excited to see some descent corn growing so far!! Fingers crossed that it continues to hold out and I can do a few things right!! Thank you very much sir for your great advice and input!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

Oh boy, you know the exact work it takes and that remedy to the blisters as well 🤣🤣🤣 When the brown gloves with grip beads appeared, I thought I had died and gone to heaven early on Saturday mornings 🤣🤣🤣 Yes sir Carl, thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

Thank you very much Gerald, I am blessed beyond words!! I sure did, actually have one that my other grandfather used in his garden I used some too off camera 😁😁 I tell ya, as nice as the weeds or lack of are,.I am glad I saved the money on the Roundup style corn!! Thank you so much for all your support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍🌽🌽🌽

Well.at least I did something right 😁 Those blisters sure reminded me of the tobacco days!! Thank you my friend for being here, and all the support!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽

I figured to grab the tall stuff it would help with the spreading of the rest of it!! I cant complain about the weed control from the PE , very impressive!! I can't believe I did that, I guess the 44" of tobacco are more common for rear one row and bigger Farmalls. I do think a super C two row setup will be in my future 😉😁 I may have a plan to more "accurately " place the urea, and not break that layer with a cultivator!! 🤔😉😂 . I do think a banding fertilizer output with the planter will be in order for next season!! Thank you my friend for those kind words, advice and all your support!!! You are a great friend and I really appreciate all you do to help out Evan!! Hope things are well and have a great week sir!! Thank you for always being here!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you very much Mr Tom, I am so happy about it truly!! I can't say thank you enough for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽

That they do my friend!! Can't turn your back on a single one!!! Heck yeah, I can see that, and would do the exact thing 😉😉😁😁 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽

Thank you Adam, I said in the beginning I would show it all, good and bad 😁 I can't complain, it has been a journey, but proud to have corn growing here!! That OCD is unreal some days!! That's awesome news to here on the beans, I know y'all have been fighting it hard for weeks now to get things planted!! Hope you have a great day Adam, and thank you very much for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌾🌾🌱🌱

A man's gotta do what he has to do!! I think being more prepared will be a lifesaver, but nothing beats a good walk through the rows too!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🚜🚜🚜🌾🌾🌱🌱🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yes sir, had that thing smoking that day 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 At least we got the majority of the big stuff gone!! 😉 Gosh I know seems so strange, no rain for weeks, then it opened up for weeks then nothing again here until last night for over a week 😳 That bottom ground still needs some leveli g to make those low spots drain better. Thank you SO MUCH Mr SBF for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 HOPE things are well your as possible, and need anything you know the way to get me😉😉👍👍

Thank you very much!!

Thank you FOR THAT Mr Jan, I was thinking the same thing out there!! I hope one was smiling down and the other got a kick out of tht video 🙏🏻🙏🏻Thank you so much sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope things are well your way! I can't seem to get caught up ever anymore. Thank you again sir!! 😁😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽

Thank you Mr Pete, that means a lot coming from you sir!! I sure hope you are right, cause boy I have already started worrying about it!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 THANK you sir for always being here, and the great input!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yes sir, it sure brought back memories of tobacco days!! I thought, what in the world am I doing, but like you said ..we do what works!! I will have a complete setup next season on a front mount tractor though 🤣🤣 I figured it was worth a shot, and so far working pretty good!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🌾🌾🌱🌱

Thank you very much!! I know exactly what you mean, I remember the older men talking about that back when we would hoe tobacco!! I have kept a pretty good wrap in it so far, I sure hope it doesn't spread! Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽

You got it Nelson

I thought to myself, with three different style cultivators sitting around and 5 tractors....here I am hoeing corn 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣 But it really gave me a sense of accomplishment to see that growing after all these years!! Thank you Logan, and I think next season I will have a tractor similar to yours for cultivation purposes, but we do have an extra "hoe" and you know where the gate is...always welcome my friend!! 😁😁👍👍 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope things are going well for you!! 😁😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌱🌱🌾🌾

Thank you very much Brad, I am excited to see it this far and hope it continues to do well!! It and been a battle for all y'all this season it seems!! Well at least it's in now and hopefully it will do well for you!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽

Thank you very much Mike, it has been a road to get here, but blessed beyond words! Thank you so much for all your support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! Not to bad, can't complain much anyway!! Oh my, well prayers for a smooth and easy surgery. Hope the recovery goes well and keep me posted. Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@Pennies_on_the_dollar you’re very welcome, my friend and thank you and I will glad all is well with you

Thank you my friend!! I really can't complain, even now they are not messing with it much, except knocking over plants!! They are enjoying the new corn alot though!! I think I may do that next season, even closer to where they bed down and give them some beans to munch on!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸

That is so true Mr Chris, the story of my season!! I think we both face quite a few battles at different times!! I must say your drive to overcome bad situations is very inspiring!! Thank you sir for that and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

Thank you sir, I can't complain alot about the growth!! I was noticing that, it's harder to see the imperfect rows 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, I always told myself that if I had too, I would how the corn....wouldn't ya know it, I had too 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 Gosh I feel like a moron over the width thing, I knew better for sure!! I may have a use for it already though!! 😉😉 Boy oh boy did we score on that trailer, it is packed full of parts that will interchange for sure with my rig!! I sure will keep my eyes out, they ran a lot of macks at that cimy🤔😉😉 Thank you Mr Monty for always being here, I really appreciate that!! You my friend have been here from the start, allows motivational and supportive of that dream!! Thank you again Mr Monty, it wlreally means a lot!! I hope you have a great week as well!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

I am in the fence Kevin, I think I have an idea for it to use anyway, unconventional of course but might get me by!! But I will have a different setup next season, so if this works and I get finished...you are more than welcome to buy it my friend!! Yes , Dylan and I had talked about that numerous on width and I completely forgot 🤣🤣😂😂 Well regardless I do think a nice Farmall C or Super C on two rows will be in my future next season😉 Thank you very much sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽

@@Pennies_on_the_dollar That Allis 180, or Ford 3000 both will go out to 76 inches, the 180 should have spin out rears that adjust in 2in increments, and its easy to re-dish the rears on the 3000 if the tires are not loaded.

@KevinPurdie Yes sir, I have the 180 set out to 76" now, so I'm hoping to use the one row without the feet, and get some spread that way. Then go back with the Danish tine 😁😁👍👍

I really appreciate that sir!! It has been a road to get here, but man it sure is a proud moment to see for sure!! Thank you very much for the kind words and all the support!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸 Also for always being here!!

I did Mr Robert, actually some high dollar tests too! I did pretty much everything they said, but the additional N that's what is bothering me now. We are.gonna give it all we can!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

Josh you know ,that is exactly how I looked back while editing...never thought it would happen, but it's here!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🌽🌽🌽

Yes it wasn't bad at all James, thank goodness!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽

I think I may have a solution to do both of those things. I do think it will need some cultivator action for sure in the future. Thank you very much AJ for all the great advice!! I am going to be set up next year to do all this with one pass!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Heck yeah, sounds like the season is going descent this year for you 😉😉👍👍😁😁🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you Mr Tom, and for always being here!! Yes sir, it had really perked up a lot with just those few showers we have had!! Thank you very much sir!! Hope things are well your way!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you my friend, it's not the quickest method, but we do what we have too!! I may be that particular farmer this summer as well!! Thank you sir for the kind words and being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍

Thank you Mr Tim, for the inspiration!! I am very excited to see how each year things get better and better!! Blessed beyind words!! I can get over how well the weeds are staying at bay especially on these wider rows!! Thank you sir for the great support and kinda, I do appreciate that alot!! Also for you always being here !! 😁😁🌽🌽👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you very much John and for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍

Gotta do what you gotta do at times Mr Ben!! Been done this way for years, and I'm not stranger to it. Can you "how" hundreds and thousands of acres like y'all raise...no, but for me it is keeping things afloat right now 😉😉 Thank you my friend for always being here , I really appreciate that !! I hope things are well your way!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌽🌾🌾🌱🌱

@@Pennies_on_the_dollar running behind currently had to axe cotton and getting to late for beans cause of the rain !

Boy I know y'all been under the gun it seems with dry enough weather!! Prayers you can get them in Mr Ben!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am blessed, far from a perfect stand, but I sure am proud to see it growing!! Thank you so much for all you do!! 😁😁❤️❤️🌽🌽

Thank you very much for that sir!! I really appreciate the support and input!! I can't complain to hard I guess!! Hope things are well your way too!! I really appreciate you being here😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽

Thank you very much Kirk!! I really appreciate all your support and always being here!! Co grays on your excavator too, love the drive you have to succeed!! 😁😁👍👍

Thanks

Yes, It sure is a beautiful sight knowing what it looked liked a few years back!! Blessed for sure!! I did learn one thing...at 47 I'm not near as agile and flexible as I was in my teens 🤣🤣😂😂 That ole "hoe" wore blisters on my hand for sure!! Time and lack of it, sure has crimped me up this season!! I can't imagine the stress y'all go through during a season!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! You know I would be there in a min!! I am behind for sure, it I will get caught up!! 🌱🌱🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁😁🚜🚜🌾🌾🍻🍻🍻

@@Pennies_on_the_dollar I'm not far behind 47.

@pinesedgefarm1155 Nothing seems to work like it used too does it 🤣🤣😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

❤🎉😊Great job Nelson! I remember hoeing corn right to the east of the farm house as a young boy! The area behind the rent house was a cornfield while growing up on the farm! I hoed cut and stacked the stalks right there! I was 7-8 years old when remembering😊those days and years lol 😝

I am so excited to see crops growing again on the farm!! Many generations and footsteps have walked theae fields!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🙏🏻
