Oregon. we do wheat, barley, and field corn , along with 100 acres of alfalfa ,we are a small 300 cow dairy farmer ( old school ) so whole different ballgame
Here in New York, we usually start planting corn the week before Memorial Day. We finish around June 20 (most years). We don’t do many beans on our farm so we can finish beans by the end of June
Trippy, command center Gen 4’s actually take activations which are then locked to the machine. Universal displays are what take yearly subscriptions. Good luck this spring!
Ya'll watch out Friday evening. The chance of tornadoes in your area is so good I am considering driving out from NC to chase in South Central IL. Just be weather aware!
That's an interesting perspective on cleaning your planter vs potential damage to the electronics. From what I've seen, if you opt to clean your planter you need to take it all apart and clean and service or you will be susceptible to electronic problems. On these gigando planters... that's a job!
@@aTrippyFarmer Every time, and I mean evry time I've let something sit from one season to the next, my very good friends, the mice) have taken it upon themselves to visit. You all probably don't have that problem over there. LOL
Any Deere oil or similar products that’s in a spray can you have to turn upside down for the product to leave properly. Learned that last spring getting equipment ready for both planting and haying. Most years when we plant cotton mid to late April we are also taking off first cut. A few years ago when we were growing corn I would wait til I get a cut of hay off then work ground to plant by early June. As my name states New Mexico but we are near Mexico.
Try Meguairs Fast Finish for wax on the tractors. Great wax in a spray can, saves a lot of time waxing. Spray it on and wipe it off. Great mirror shine. I use it on my Tundra!
ive seen the first corn fields planted here in southern germany on the 20th of march. this is historically a hotter region of germany tho and this year is again shaping up to be way too dry. be interesting how the crop does throughout summer.
North Macoupin County IL - 1st week April on corn, however same year corn planted 3 weeks later nearly caught up. A quick cold snap can really delay it.
Never planted corn or soybeans…. The earliest we have ever planted cotton was the last week of March 1995 It started and looked like a cha-ching year,,,,, but! As you said, Mother Nature had other plans! By the time we replanted pretty much everything, 3 times. We had a good stand by the end of May. Then! We had a good wet summer, everything looked good. I had a section of irrigated that looked like 3 plus bale cotton. I literally had flown on defoliant on all 4 pivots then that afternoon a storm brewed up. Straight line winds turned two of the 4 pivots over and to top it off? Baseball sized hail destroyed the cotton. Between the hail and cotton on the ground it looked like a 1 foot snow storm. 😂😂😂 That rumble strip is very important,,,, it helps seal off the seed plate. If it’s worn you need to replace it.
Down here in South Africa,earliest beans have been 28 September and earliest corn have been 3 October.Typical cornplanting date is 10 October and beans are usually late October to middle of November.Last spring our early spring was very dry and we could only get going on corn the 20th of October,but then it started raining in November and we could only finish corn the 25th of November,so then we hit beans hard and got that finished around 13 December,which is very late for us but things are currently looking like a pretty big yield.
I don't carry towels around to work on stuff... I can't help that the floor is literally a powered, but you are probably right! I guess we will be buying a new one if it breaks!
Hey there Trippy, I hope this finds you all well and good. I see you're still complaining about Deere. While you were complaining about installing the old monitors, "this isn't going well, you almost have to be a rocket scientist" you were also complaining about the newer integrated system, "this is more expensive, and you have to pay for a subscription" now 'most' everyone knows you can't have your cake and eat it to.....🤔 "Price is something you pay, quality is something you receive" We would always shoot for 4/15, however that could vary a week or two either way. I hope y'all have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
Switching from a lifetime subscription to an annual payment had nothing to do with quality... it was entirely about profit. Deere can do whatever they want with their products, but that doesn't change that people are going to complain, especially farmers. You know how we are!
@aTrippyFarmer Trippy, you make it sound as if profit is a bad thing, or is it only a good thing when you're the one making it? Deere owes it to their millions of stockholders to provide them with as good a return as possible, for placing their money and faith in Deere, just as their millions of retail customers do every day. I know you had a bumper year in 2022, do you think you made to much, do consumers of your products have a legitimate gripe about your making to much money, or is that why you're in business?
Hello from Germany. The integratet Displays are a good think because of stealing deere gps Equipment. In Germany are over 100 farms were somebody broke in and steal deere Equipment, this year only.
I'm in north east Wisconsin, about the earliest I plant corn or beans is last few days of April even if it was fit earlier, years ago when we had dairy we occasionally seeded alfalfa by 20 th or so of April,back in the 90s we once had frost on or about the 20th of June,longest day of the year, curious do you use your markers to plant the whole field or just headlands, and if yes what is the reason
Not sure why deere have to different and use a 36 volt generator. Case just has a single 12 volt battery and a hydraulic powered alternator on the bar. Everything runs through a hydraulic block and you only hookup 3 sets of hoses and a iso plug
Several reasons, but the main one is you have a better/constant amps with the Deere system which in turn make the high speed electric drive more accurate. Less skips and doubles. I’m also betting the planter you are talking about doesn’t have hydraulic down force. And, is it high speed?
I am not confident that it offers anything other than early season aesthetics in our area. It also would slow us down because of the logistics. I know there are areas where starter systems are a big deal, but our soils are very forgiving.
I have a question. I am from the Netherlands and not a farmer. But my dad was a teacher on agriculture school. So have allot of interest in farming because of that. Now for the question. Why do you own equipment of your own? You where saying that’s my dads planter. I always thought the equipment is owned by the farm it self. Like the farms buys the equipment and the owners or share holders own every pice of equipment. Like your videos very much. Btw.
Like most grain farms in the United States, everytging is owned by family. It is a little complicated to explain. There are no “investors” for most operations. Some farms have one ownership entity that owns all of the equipment. Other farms, like ours, has a few different people that own different things depending on the amount of ground that they farm. My dad is the tenant on a fair chunk of our land, so he pays for a large amount of the equipment. Some of the smaller participants buy things, just not as much. That’s probably not the best explanation. Thanks for watching!
LOOK LETS FACE THE FACTS HERE, WHEN IT COMES TO (EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS) THERE GONNA DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO RA#PE EVERY LAST PENNY FROM YOUR POCKETS!!! Thanks for sharing Andy
Your treatment of the generator throwing it around on gravel was unbelievable. Couldn’t believe you would dismantle it the way you did. Will bite you in the but sometime.
You know that you're supposed to change the oil on the generator every year right? I know you are for a fact and going off the video you didn't change it and that isn't cheap to replace over $15 in oil. The rumble strip as you call it yes it's quiet important and I would replace it those look pretty warn
{ Turkiye } EurAsia (Next to Greece right below Crimea/Ukraine in the Blacksea) For a good germination and emergence in corn, the soil temperature should be 10-12 degree celcius. This should be taken into account when determining the sowing time. In sowing in soils below these temperatures, germination and emergence to the soil surface may pose a risk. In such cases, the seed left in the soil may rot before it can germinate. Therefore, for sowing maize, the soil temperature should be expected to reach 10-12 degree celcius. To specify this as a date, the main crop corn can be planted after the 25th of April in the Thrace region, from the beginning of April in the southern regions, and from the 25th of April in the Central Anatolia region. To give a rule about planting time, it is more guaranteed to start planting after the last frost date of the region. Because the corn planted before the last frost date is at risk of being damaged by frost during the young seedling period.
Brian Brown of Brown Farms swears by AG Leader for keeping records. Swears J-D and the rest are just too expensive and complicated when it doesn't need to be,.Just passing info on. God Bless !
Andy might be able to weigh in more and give you a better answer but I’ll do my best. Brain buys mostly Agco equipment that does offer it’s own auto steer but not nearly as advanced as deer in technology so it is easier for him to replace that technology than Andy with his deers because when you buy a new John Deere tractor you buy their technology as well. So in order for Andy to switch he would then have to buy AG Leaders technology as well. Plus mother Deere is not very friendly to people trying to run other technology on there tractors so they build in obstacles in their software to jump over in order to run deferent technology’s on there tractors. You can get past these obstacles but they cost money that leads back to mother Deere’s pocket. And I think Andy shares my opinion that John Deere’s technology is the best out of any of the companies that of course is just opinions.
@@greatlakesfarming5230 Thanks, I know J-D is protective once brand is committed. J-D farms are usually quite successful after generations of using them. J-D Green means more than paint color when investing in the brand, but used equiupment does hold it's value, if maintained well. Thanks !
Ag leader is no where near as good or advanced as Deere. And as the fellow above said, it’s almost a wash in cost by the time you jump through all of the hoops Deere tech has to make a system that isn’t as good as Deere work.
I can't really comment on Brian's stuff. I have heard from many people that Deere dominates the GPS department, but I can't say if that is the truth. AgLeader and Trimble are much more capable systems for drainage work, just not as good for regular farming work. GPS systems are much like battery-powered tools. Once you've invested heftily into one specific brand, you can't switch to the competition without enduring a small amount of financing and educational pain. I talk about this some in an upcoming video.
