Spring Planting has begun here at the Dairy Farm. The John Deere 820 was getting oats in the ground with the help of the Van Brunt Grain Drill. After getting the oats planted, Alan used the International 1256 with a homemade field roller to smooth the field and pack down any rocks.

I love seeing the older equipment still in use. It's basic and gets the job done. No computers to screw up and easy to repair. I hope everything goes well for you. Stay safe, and God bless.

@patrickmorgan3326 Год назад

Great video. I’m 76 and your videos show farming the way I remember it. God bless your labor and your family.

Years ago in R part of the country you just dragged a field after planting !! Now more and more we've been rolling them TOO 😊

Good to hear hay is doing OK. We got a little bit of rain couple days ago,,,,could use more, but it's not looking great for the next week. Your actually really close to us as the crow flies.

@ronzezulka6646 Год назад

Hey Allen,,,great to see seeds going in. How close to corn and how's the hay looking?

@trinitydairy Год назад

Shouldn't be to far from corn, but I do have to wait until the lagoon is pumped. The hay is looking good, but it could use a drink.

@canadianHAWK3 Год назад

👏👏

@colorado1088 Год назад

I understand rolling beans where you don't want to lift the combine head and lose the lower beans but isn't oats fruit higher on the stalk and therefore conducive to raising the head? Only thing I can think of is maybe oats will "lay down" after wind or heavy rain requiring a lower head placement at harvest. Its great that you guys answer questions....thanks.

@trinitydairy Год назад

A big reason for rolling it is better soil to seed contact, and it helps keep the soil from blowing away. But you are also correct, that if the grain gets laid down, you will have to cut close to the ground.

@ronaldfeuerstein435 Год назад

Tks for sharing. This all your oat ground last year? Hope it grows good for you. We just always went corner too corner to empty the drill out.. but what ever works for you is fine. I liked the ending... priceless 👍👍

@trinitydairy Год назад

Yeah, that's all the oats I'm putting in this year.

@geraldsundberg3610 Год назад

Does it make a difference as to what size tires you have on the seeder?

@trinitydairy Год назад

That's a good point, it very well could.

@mattutke4704 Год назад

Your video is always fun to watch Alan, I know I've said this before but when you have the camera position in the certain direction of the 1066, it looks like a 1468, my land renters were here at my farm the other day and planting the field planted, does any of your neighbor farm their land with air drills? I think they are similar to anhydrous, John Deere and Case makes them and New Holland does too, we're getting rain here now and it's pretty chilly here too

@trinitydairy Год назад

No air drills around here.

Have you ever skipped a few bands of using the roller to see how it affects germination or yield?

@trinitydairy Год назад

No I haven't.

@ronriehle1337 Год назад

@@trinitydairy Don't skip the roller. It is important for seed to soil contact.

@joesteck6631 Год назад

The drill we have has the individual chains dragging behind each seed row. You don’t have those? Or you prefer the more aggressive spike tooth?

@trinitydairy Год назад

It didn't have those when I bought it, I thought about getting some, but the spike tooth, seems to work good.

@jvin248 Год назад

"It's a little hilly so those maps are often off" ... my father always said he preferred to buy gently rolling farm land as you got more of it! That harrow drag behind the drill is how the English guys do it. That will work, I don't think you really need to roll it. Cool roller though -- you could modify that to be a rolle-crimper and start growing winter rye as a cover crop, plant into it green, then when the corn/beans emerge run the roller-crimper to terminate the rye leaving you with a weed-free straw mat. The gold standard is Rick Clark who shows what he does on various youtube videos.

@nightrider6769 Год назад

Hey Alan another good video watching how small time farmers plant I guess some I do have one question what is the benefit of rolling? I belong to another farm channel maybe you've heard of it it's called Laura farms she's in central Nebraska but they don't roll so I am kind of wondering why you do?

@trinitydairy Год назад

Rolling has a few benefits, it flattens the ground, so it's nicer for picking up down grain and also bailing straw, and if I cut it for hay I can cut it lower to the ground, it also helps keep the soil from blowing away and from drying out, and gives better soil to seed contact.

@pauljohnston2148 Год назад

u need a Brillion cultipacker/seeder

@trinitydairy Год назад

I have one, but I wasn't seeded this into hay, so I didn't use it.

@ronriehle1337 Год назад

Get the coulter blades to work on covering oat seeds. Get roller as wide or wider than drill. Hook that to drill and you'll be done in 1 pass. Spread fertilizer with buggy before drilling and no need to for drag or rolling that separately. Urea fert. can be treated for preventing evaporation if not rain coming soon. You really need to look around for opportunities to reduce trips over field. Time and cost of fuel , wear and tear on machinery ,etc. , etc. is costing you a fortune. Lots of opportunities to improve profits ! Of coarse questioning why planting oats alone is good idea might be biggest decision. Why grow oats alone. For just cost of seed you could have a hay crop 3 times a year for 3 or 4 years. Much more profitable.

@trinitydairy Год назад

I would like to get a roller, the same width as the drill, but they are way more expensive than just using the roller I have. I know you can treat the urea, but they don't treat it for free! And I have explained many times in passed videos, the reason I don't put certain fields into hay, Is because I can only rent them on a year to year basis, so if I spend a fortune on seeding it into hay, and wasn't able to rent the land any more, that investment would be gone!
