Thanks for the video of the first planting of corn. Much different than back at the other farm and I wish you both and family all the best. I will be watching you as always.
Congratulations all round, I wish for a spell of warm dry weather so that you can get all your drilling completed quickly because no doubt some wheat or new seeds will require spraying!
Planter isn't set right. Main 7x7 bar should be level and the parallel arms should in turn be level. That's why the row units are tipped forward and the row cleaners are digging like they are. Field should be pretty level after the planter rolls over it, not with all those ridges like it is.
That's a really nice planter. Looks like you made a great purchase. Hoping to get some corn in the ground here this week. Had 3 inches of rain this past Friday into Saturday. Over 4 inches for the month of May, total.
We had to plow up 25 acres of Hay land because the undesirable variety of Bermuda Grass took over..... So being as the land had a 6in well on it it was suggested by a business partner maybe we should plant watermelons, this year and resprigg next spring.....
Issues now is cost of fertilizer , corn or bean and then diesel to run the equipment. Pa diesel is over $6.58 a gallon for truckers but farmers buying red fuel will save some on taxes. But guess farmers not pushing 300 plus bushels this year with inputs
@@TheFarmingLife Even so, you'll wish you hadn't dug a big trench like that if you get a big rain. It will wash gullies down those hills. Fyi, you can adjust the pitch on those marker discs so they don't throw that much dirt.
@@jeffrankin967 yesterday when two and a half inches of rain field looks really nice corn has sprouted all is good here video to come here shortly corn coming out of the ground
It is the marker it allows you to come back at the right distance for your next set of rows. It marks where the center of your tractor should be. It is used when your not using GPS guidance.
