PLANTING 11,000 Acres of Corn in 7 Days 

Wow that is a lot of acres to plant per day that’s 1,571 acres per day that’s amazing and huge farm

Way back in my young days Grand Dad and Dad used a 1939 Oliver 70 pushing a 4 row planter. Tillage was done with a 1949 Oliver 88. Before '49 they used the '39 70 and a '37 Oliver 70.

Hi Jason, it's great that Billy and Mat give you there time to pass it onto us. Would you thank them 👍

11,000 acre in 7 days, thats good,keep them coming.

Absolutely awsome video. Brilliant that Matt could talk on his own and you giving more of the whole picture. Some really great tractors you have aswell. Keep it up.

11,000 acres is over 17 square miles. WOW!

Jason, it's really great to see and ride with Matt & Billy at Garnett farms. Good to see also the planters he was setting up working good as well. Looked like a lot of fun. Good to see your tractors made a guest appearance too!!😊 Thanks for sharing BTP!!👍👍

Cool to see your tractors out in the field 👍we plant with a john deere 6630 premiun and a monosem planter. Keep up the great work👍😉

Great video Jason . And a great people around you too .

Great video as always! Keep up the fantastic work! On my Family’s Farm, we use our Massey Ferguson 7619 Tractor to pull our 8 row 30 inch spacing International Cylico Air 800 Planter to plant corn

I admire the men and women who grow our food they never get enough thanks for their efforts much like our military and first responders.........

I love this channel. Thanks for all your hard work making the videos, and thanks to the farmers.

I follow your photos and videos since many years,actually since the good old farmphoto days,where you also caught my attention with pictures of this operation,those guys are just professionals in every aspect.

Thanks Matt and the crew👋😊👍 Thanks big tractor for all the great videos 👌

YES, you highlighted your tractors in this video working Sweet.

Great video good to see Matt again

That 8850 jd looks good takes me back to my little boy days love driving those

Thanks 😊 btp for sharing your videos with us and I just happened to be traveling through western Kentucky last summer and I probably saw the fields on here. Was headed back down to East Texas!!

Awesome TY for sharing

This is a awesome video really really enjoyed it thanks Jason

Waiting patiently for the new JD combines I know this farm will have them

I like your international 4786 and jd 8850 good to see you farming

Great video. The new technology and how it is now being integrated across different crops to better assist the farmer is amazing. BTW it is always good to heard from Matt. Keep up the good work!

Love to see the vintage iron in the field. Keep up the good work.

Very Impressive operation, amazingly organised, thanks for sharing

We plant corn with a Deere 1710 6 row pulled by a 4430. Doesn't have all the technology that's on these new planters but it still does a good job

Always good to see what my aunts neighbors are up to.

Pretty impressive operation 👍

12 row maxemerge2 with a 4430 pulling Back in the 80s and 90s when we farmed.

This is very impressive and interesting, thanks!

What a beautiful life ❤️, a hundred acres or less is "farmin" where I'm from 😝, maybe a big ol 200 h.p. tractor on a farm or two , love it to pieces but,,, this type farming & machinery you showcase on here is absolutely incredible 👍 ✌️

Moćna poljoprivreda je budućnost svijeta, Bravo,super strojevi.

Loved your 4786 .

Great content 👍👍👌👏

beautiful work! :) greetings

Impressive, well organized

Great video thanks ,for sharing

Always great to watch

Last time I planted corn , I used a Bmodel John Deere tractor, planting 2 rowes at a time . Man that was back in 1957 ,quite a few back . Most of the big farmers used 4 row equipment. They didn't have the knowledge that they have today .

I use a JD 730 on a JD 7000 6 row planter converted to a 2 row on my 1/4 acre sweet corn plot 🙂

Awesome video 🇺🇸👍👍

Awsome video BTP 👍🚜🚜

Btp come to northwestern Illinois in a town called Milledgeville. There is plenty of action during spring and fall. A lot of quad tracks, 9rx’s, 8r’s and case 300 series

Before watching all your Kentucky farming videos I thought maybe Canada or Australia had some of the largest farms. But, I've been amazed at how much big farming occurs in Kentucky.

Awesome Video Buddy!! Buddy i Hope you Have John Deere in the Mais on 2020!! Many Greetings Sebi!!

Great video

This machine can do it all

You have a couple of nice old tractors. The 8850 was my favorite for years. Why doesn't the farm use DB 90 or DB120 corn planting? it would make sense with that many acres to get the job done.

We use a 2008 Case IH 535 Steiger on Triples with Chem Farm Saddle Tanks and a 2013 John Deere DB90 36r30” decked out with about everything you could possibly want.

great video great sound of them machines and good to get a bit of history about size of farm and where it is , IS IT private owned or a big company

any chance mat will be running a x91100 this year in corn and beans,this would be the perfict farm to do it on.love the old iron jason.

Good video. Watched it twice.

It's amazing that after literally decades of killing weeds on the fields, that there are any left ? Thumbs up !

Awesome video BTP thank you!

Its amazing how much ground these guys farm. Great video once again!

We have a CIH 420 quad trak with narrow tracks pulling a Kinze 4900 24 row 30 inch planter. Seems like overkill with the tractor until we get on a few fields with wicked hills, then it has it's hands full.

That international ♥️♥️

Work hard great work

We use a John deere 8310r with a 24 row db60

Farming sure is an interesting occupation

I love how the rock crew matches

I bet you had a blast driving your tractors in the field

Their one field is the same size as our entire operation lol. I can’t even imagine

With that amount of corn acreage, and a group of grain bins with a capacity of 4 million bushels, to me, likely the owner -operator has a seat on the Chicago Board of Trade. Futures hedging certainly is necessary when you are growing corn on a scale like this. Working futures markets is a science in itself. Great machinery and thanks for showing. P.S. Sorry for responding so late.

Like watching the garnett farm videos

Those planters hold more corn than some combines. Technological progress is astounding. But, your IH will always stay a favorite tractor for me! :) At 20:10, what is that awkward berm about? I suspect it's blocking water or protecting access to a draintile line?

Does Billy and his family tend Tobacco also and if so how many acres? Thanks again for sharing BTP and Matt!

John Deere 2955 and John Deere 1750 xp 6 row for corn and 4430 and 3500 kinze 8/16 for beans

the "rock picking"--I have a photo somewhere of a 1910 or 15 tractor designed to "pick rock's"---side conveyor and all---of course---threr are moderjn version's-

We plant with a 8270r and db60 47r15in and 8270r with 1795

I'm surprised that they didn't stick with Kinze and go to the 4905 planters. From what I could see looked like they were planting around 6mph where the Kinze 4905 can plant at 12 mph seems like that would be a huge advantage on an operation of that size.

If you have already i havent seen it but you should do a video on your personal tractors

new holland t9.530 with a Great Plains PL5800 40 ft 31 rows

Parabéns 👏👏👏👍👍💪💪🚜🚜🚜🚜🇧🇷

nice videos

On our farm we use a John Deere 8235r and a Kinze 16 row planter

I plant mine with a L2501 and a one row Covington planter! lol

Excellent video! What is in the small white tank in front of the right saddle tank? Oh, by the way, we use a 1965 International 4 row planter behind a New Holland 6610

1. Start with fresh corn seeds for the best results. 2. Directly sow seeds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart. 3. Cover with soil, space your rows of seeds 30 to 36 inches apart. 4. Water your block of corn well after planting. 5. Corn stalks are sturdy and should not need staking.

Wow 11000 acers. Dang

Your should convince Matt to start his own RU-vid channel.

Is there going to be any footage from this farm for 2021 plant season? With your friend Matt... correct?

The pro box directly into the CCS bin, goodness.

Great video! Do you think they'll every go to more of a no-till or reduced till system? They make a lot of passes. Here in MD we would never even think about tillage on soybean stubble and we still get every bit as many bushels as you do there and they are the same rotations.

I think a farmer can pick up stones until the end of time. I know I picked up my share of them. What amazes me, some farmers will run over the same stones year after year,

What maturity range corn do they plant there?

I bleed green but damn if that blackstripe beauty don't take me back. Great job.

Great video, I have learnt a lot about the farming methods undertaken in the US. I have noticed that when traveling down the roads they have the hazards lights on, is this law?

Non farmers do not realize the gianantic loan needed to purchase all the seed, chemicals, fuel and labor to plant and harvest this crop. It all big numbers on both ends of the season.

Curious. Why 11,000 Acres for just Corn? I say Diversify! >>A bit of Corn, Peppers, Taters, Soybeans, etc! & It might be good to set aside 1/4 of that land to lay Fallow to rebuild it's nutrients. Also, this relieves all the over use of Underground Aquifer fresh Water! & On that land laying fallow, the critters come back for local folks to do some decent hunting! It's a thought!

Great video Jason. The opening picture of the very modern tractor and corn planter with the huge grain facility in the far background in contrast to the small grain bins and old barns, one with a lean-to and a corn picker in it was very much a reminder of days gone by and where we are today. I guess that's why your channel has always appealed to me! The new next to the old. It was great that your tractors got a work out--and you recorded it! That had to be a blast! Let me end with what might be a weak question. Are the tractors pulling the corn planters the same ones that did the ripping and the nitrogen app? I ask because the ripper tractors had triples (a cool look btw) and the planter tractors had duals with wheel weights. So I was wondering are these the same tractors only with the triple removed, or are they just the same make and model of tractors? I mean I can't imagine a farm carrying several sets of 9420's for various applications. I know that may sound lame to some of your eagle-eyed viewers, but I don't know these tractors like so many of you do.

Will they go back and plant those too wet areas in the field? Guessing it would have to be in a day or so if they did.

Love the JD V8, too bad it didn’t prove to be more reliable. Wish they had perfected it and kept building it.

woah

Would using a seed tender be faster than totes? Just wondering y use totes

At Garnett Farms, after the spring planting how does the farm utilize all the labor driving tractors and support equipment, Until the harvest .?

With how many tractors.?..11000 acre

I wonder if these far is use cow manure as starter fertilizer?

sweet operation, they literally just buy 5 of everything
