Preparing and Planting a Soybean Field | Plus a Nitrogen Debate  

I just love the throaty sound of your mighty M ,it's good to see you still working her. I have some bad news about the half century of progress show. I was looking up some information on it yesterday and I found out that they don't allow motor cycles, mopeds and bicycles on the property. Basically anything with two wheels. It doesn't look like you are able to use your e bike at the show. I thought I better bring this to your attention before you find out the hard way. I do hope to see you there.

I love the way soil looks after it's been cultimulched

Hard to argue with McGie’s results. He knows way more about farming than I do, for sure. I’d at least try it if I were going to go this route.

I liked the drone footage. It really gives a nice broad view of the field. Lol. Love listening to the old farmall sounds. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you soon.

Good to see you keeping your collection ( fleet ) nice and Limber...

Crops are looking good on the farm 👍 i always enjoyed seeding nice warm dry day with a little breeze an the 510 drill behind doing its thing 💪 Red Power 💪💪💥

I envy you brother. It has been many years since I had the privilege of farming. Time has run out for me now, but I had my share throughout the decades. Nothing like it. Great videos!

Green acres is the place for me =)

Hello Gino enjoyed your video. Corn is coming looks good. Beans should come up fast with the heat and rain were getting. Waiting to see field. I agree the treated seed easier to see. Have a good day.

Excellent video Gino :) also corn height in mine home area on cash crops plus fuel supply are already 9 feet tall not kidding and nice green too ! Corn plants in second week of June too and going surprises me was tall height be on pick also silo and cash crops plus fuel supply on farms near be ! Tallest I seen in all 48 years I been alive and well is 14 feet high that was in 2006 year !

BOOOOOOOOM.....!!!... Homestead's been singing Tommy James "Crimson and Clover... Over and Over...."

Nice. Beans and crimson clover are both legumes, but beans are bigger plants. I’m going with beans. In SC, farmers used to grow rye in the winter and turn it over in the spring. Never see that anymore. Great drone footage. Thanks.

It would interesting to do a field with half beans and half crimson clover and see what side does the best

The corn looks great so far. Love the drone footage.

That sure is a really nice tractor. Makes me wish I had a larger garden

Great drone footage, I like to here your M purring too! 😊

Not too bad. I spread horse manure in April, disc the field, did it again before i planted Beck's corn seeds days before memorial day. Now corn up to over 6 foot tall. I say it is worth it for me this year. Keep it up ff.

Thats a nice cultipacker!! It really leveled that field out! That's cool planting with the original tractor! Great job my friend! Thank you for sharing!!

I will say that the crimson clover is a fall through spring grower……. Therefore the corn can be grown every year, without a warm growing season off year……(if you so desire)

I am a trained agronomist with a degree from The Ohio State University. My research shows that crimson clover will produce up to 140 pounds of N, I believe that is appreciably more than a soybean crop planted this late in the season. You also have to be cognizant of the fact that only half of that N production will be available the following year for the corn crop. On the other hand the soybeans are a cash crop, you should get a return to cover your expenses. With crimson clover the only return is the N produced and residue for the following corn crop, there is no cash return. I have been utilizing crop rotations and cover crops for the past 42 years on my home farm. Good luck to you in this crop and next years corn crop.

That’s good seed. My grandpa was a salesman for them for a little while 👍🏼

Hey Gino guy from Butler here you asked me the day that you bought princess Leia about our antiques show at the Butler farm show and I know I told you the other day that we are kind of honoring Farmall this year because of the hundredth anniversary of the Farmall that's solid dates now it will be August 7th to the 12th thank you

First things first, if McGie opens up a can of worms, he's probably thinking of lunch not looking to argue. Ill bet you he would share his lunch with you also. As far as nitrogen production, I'm going with McGie on this one. I believe the CC will produce more N than the SB.

Nice video my friend ❤♥❤❤🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜 A very creative idea ❤❤♥❤🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜 I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Sir, I am curious how you plan to harvest the drilled corn? I don't doubt you will get a great stand and great yield. But everything I drilled we used a grain table to harvest. Corn was either ear picked or shelled with a combine with a corn head on it. Just curious of your plan? Jeff

It was nice watching you get out and get those beans planted ! You and Micah need to have a corn grow off next year lol . I almost got killed as a kid riding on the back of a drill my hoodie strings got caught and it was choking me out lucky my grandpa stopped to check the seed and found me their almost dead and cut me out . I had a red spot in my eye for a long time . Those beans will be up in about 5 days I bet my last planting came up in 4 and a half days. Thanks for sharing and have a great evening !

Drone footage of the 756 was 👍

great work

Good to see another day of therapy for ya FF😁the ole 7 was happy to get out of the stable I bet, always plowed under cow manure in spring and top dressed later…keep it going 💥🇺🇸💥

Professional drone pilot today! 😎 Got it looking good. 👍🍻🚨🚀💥🚜🔥🌧

Nice

That 756 is taking to ya sounds great 👍 😊

If you don't mind me asking when will we see duals on the 756?

I believe everything that you say about soybeans and it is an inch depth, so the rain or moisture will get to the soybeans faster than the corn because correct me if I'm wrong but corn is deeper in the ground than soybeans 3 or 4 inches from the top of the ground I think and that I'd fine if you overlap soybean ground and it will make it better than seeing gaps at each end when they turn around and I like drilled soybeans better than planting them and I believe everything that you say that's why I like watching your videos because I learn a lot from on how to do it on the farm 👍👍👍

Chrisom clover is beautiful. I alway though the soybeans made the deer meat taste like tofu. 😂

Is Hubner seed a Pennsylvania co.? Do they do corn also? thnks, Bill

You shouldn't see tire tracks running cultimucher, need to put the teeth deeper to level ground out

Nitrogen is good for the crops to make more food to feed the world.....

When figuring nitrogen units you basic use 30-35 units,30 -45 clover depending on yrs grow old stand more nitrogen available remember 1-3 bushel of corn equals 1 unit nitrogen and people it's cost / ac where your at your budget in operation this is business .

Bad year for wood chucks. Have to check the pole barn every day to fill in holes as they start. Neighbors don't like me shooting wood chucks. I find it funny they are undermining his yard barn sitting on deck blocks. I have a few conibare traps I can stake out over the holes. Dad would say the only time it is too late to plant is when you don't. Be interesting what the bean crop will yield. Couple more weeks and I would have been thinking Winter wheat. I always thought beans put enough nitrogen in the ground for corn? I thought clover was pretty expensive to turn under. We would broadcast clover in wheat to make a hay field. You do grain so you don't bother with hay. If you do wheat do you bale straw? Straw is the money crop for the people and horses. We only had a John Deere drill with steel wheels and trip rope lift. It was paid for and kept up so why buy new. I'm thinking it was a 18 hole drill and you could drop all 18 or just 9. Dad watched the seed like a hawk.

Corn looks great..... what's the status of the massy combine? Are you going to shell the corn with it?

You should find a old 1 row picker for that corn

Putting the 756 through it's paces...

Good day FF Neighbour plants corn no fertilizer , plow down alfalfa & manure. Thanks

Get a mapping software for your drone and set the speed to slow, will follow the track and record makes it alot more stable

I think as a FF community we need to find him a McCormick 2 row planter

Looks good. The nitrogen controversy is one I've never heard of. Soybeans have Nitrogen nodules on the roots. The crimson clover argument is just crimson and clover song. Over and over. Have no idea. Could be I guess. Not enough information. Soybeans then corn.

Is your combine ready?

Brush hogging…..lol more like whitetail kill zones. Dont have me fooled. Great video!

I hear by claim the trail cam footage in that location to be known as Bridges crossing 😂

Best thing for soil for planting is Bunny Poop thats why I have 4 rabbits and that's why my Tomato plants Are standing tall

Why don't you plan the old field is that the only film you have the corn😊

I was wondering what Maturity group of soybeans did you plant?

You're right. The ground hogs are terrible on beans.

Now putting the M through it's paces....

Well I thought u drilled. Soy bean awhile back instead of. Now

That corn doesn't look bad for being planted with a grain drill

No "tall" stalks at this point and time of year

Soybean 15 lbs of nitrogen vs crimson clover 100 lbs per acre. It’s a no brainer. You need to plant crimson clover like McGie.😂😂😂

The question is does McGie know the power of RED???

Getting late 4 that? Global warming? Hopefully it works out . Heck, it snow in Wisconsin in August! All kidding aside!
