Planting the World's RAREST Peanut Seed! 

My dad use to run the extensions. I’m going to have to have some before next season. Mile long rows where next year’s nuts are going.

South Georgia red clay. It is harder to work than most soils, but it holds water and nutrients better than most soils.

Welcome to Jawga (Georgia)

Thanks for watching. It is irrigated clay ground. Bottom plowed 1’ deep in February.

Thanks Gator

Thanks Greg

Thank you

They are for sale, not for seed.

Thanks for the pun and for watching Byron.

My O6G graded the same as 12Y (not good) and yielded far less than the 12Y

There was a similar shot last week with the 4960 turning around in the background. My cousin said it looked like an oil painting.

Old timers always told me there is more seed (higher yield) in a crooked row.

I have to remember that lol

Check out 5:04 in the video just before this one (planting butterbeans potatoes and peanuts). Very similar scene with added 4960 turning around in background

Maybe by a frog hair

There are no hybrid or GMO peanuts. This variety, and all others, are a cross of two different parent varieties. Not considered hybrids b/c they reproduce true to seed. Hybrids don’t produce seed (or offspring) the same as themselves.

​@@PatrickShiversHow much "true" seed do yall plant? As far as say peas, corn and such.

@@darryladams519 corn is the only hybrid. All my soybeans and half my corn are GMO.

There are 2 TifNV varieties on the market. Most suppliers have 06G predominantly and 12y by request

@@PatrickShivers o ok thanks for the response

Yes

@PatrickShivers Im excited to see how they preform and yeild vs the 06Gs!

I like the Cajun Boil one myself!

Good eye. I explained it in the first peanut planting video of the season. I used this tractor to pull the Lemken Kompactor implement to level and smooth down the plowed peanut ground. Because the ground was freshly plowed for peanut production I didn’t want to compact it back down, so I removed all the extra weight. I listed out how many pounds I took off the tractor in that video.

@@PatrickShivers I figured it had something to do with ground compaction because I remember you run the old JD to pull the cultivator because it weighs less. I guess corn seed are less sensitive to ground compaction than peanut seed maybe.

@@captainhic the corn ground also isn’t plowed. After plowing peanut ground it’s like riding across a big sponge. Typically great effort is put into keeping peanut ground soft b/c it is a root crop (so it needs soft ground for ease of growth) and so they can be dug easier at harvest. The weights usually never come off the plant tractor, it’s also the main tillage tractor. I removed them b/c while running that narrow Lemken (that was to much for the JD 4960 to pick up/pull) and then planting afterwards I would basically have put tracks (pressure) on most the ground and lost the benefit of plowing so I made the tractor as light as possible

Red clay holds water and nutrients far better than most soils.

@@PatrickShivers hey I'm looking for a 7710 2 wheel drive open station. You know of any? Thanks paul

@@paullhommedieu2795 I think there was one at that DeMott auction in Iron City. Only open station 7000 series 2 wheel drive I’ve ever seen in person. I don’t know where one is currently. I’d check tractorhouse and machineryfinder

@@PatrickShivers thank you
