Look similar to finger weeders my dad used 60 years ago. Worked great in loose soil

Do you get more money for organic corn than regular corn 🌽?

@alexp6310 3 месяца назад

Is there any other tools you use in organic besides a cultivator?

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

we have a long finger drag that we use pre-emerge and when the corn is really small. Also have a 60ft rotary hoe that can be used pre emerge and when the corn is very small. Lots of organic farmers have weed zappers, flamers, and a new piece of technology that came out recently is a laser weeder... very expensive and very slow

Did you say what your market for org corn is?

@billupstateny9151 3 месяца назад

Are you seeing December corn futures, $3.65 bu. Organic slightly higher but so are your seed inputs, weed control. Farming outlook is rather bleak. 🇺🇸🗽

@MichaelBigelow-d9t 3 месяца назад

I appreciate the field and crop work to maintain the organic status. I am interested in what seed pretreatments are acceptable to be labeled organic. Thanks.

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

We plant all non-GMO seed with no treatments. There might be a omni certified treatment out there but its probably really expensive and doesn't work very well. We figure if we up our planting rate on the organic ground it will compensate for the corn that gets taken out during the tillage practices

@ryanmoeller9609 3 месяца назад

What's the Fertilizer program you guys use on the organic ground? Also I deliver chemicals to a place in Osage Iowa that makes, I believe they said, an organic pesticide? Was curious if you've heard of that and if so how do they label it organic if they're using the types of chemicals I deliver.

@ronzimmerman8968 3 месяца назад

What crops do you grow organically? I would think cereals would be a whole different animal.

@kevinrichardson3248 3 месяца назад

Corn looks great. Do you use any fish emulsion or Chilean nitrate for in season nitrogen? We are like you guys and do both conventional and organic crops.

@jamesmarsh4957 3 месяца назад

How do you feed the crop then as i suppose if you put on and cow or pig or chicken manure they would have to be organic too , or do you get in a cover crop and plough it in as you have to feed the land to get a viable crop ? That cultivator must take some pulling but that tractor looks like its not struggling , you should get a small one for you little blue tractor , can't remember if its a Ford or New Holland

@gatorguy7711 3 месяца назад

Good content and narrative! Enjoy working with your dad as these years pass away so quickly! Good luck with this year's crop!! Take care and be safe...

@sabresavg39 3 месяца назад

D&S Tire, we’ve gotten tracks there for our 8210t and they can also retread your existing tracks if the core of them are still good.

@Kpwns242 3 месяца назад

FleetPro should make some tracks for that tractor and half the price of original ones.

Animal Manure!

@scottharvold6286 3 месяца назад

@@6thGenFarmer lucky how do the finger tines on the cultivator work in heavy trash left over from a previous crop

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

that is a question I do not know the answer to. We always make sure that our trash is minimal before we start planting. Vertical tillage or high speed discs

@micahmiller4122 3 месяца назад

@King_Randy 3 месяца назад

What is your opinion on those older Deere 2 track tractors? I know a lot of guys who say they are really bumpy.

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

They will chatter your teeth out down the road but ride pretty good in the field

@Taydyn_Nelson 3 месяца назад

So does the 4640 bracket affect turning the seat any? Like is there any places where it would hit? We got a 8420 we spread lime with and we drive so fast it’s hard to do stuff on the 4640.

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

@@Taydyn_Nelson they way I built the bracket it swivels with the seat and barely misses the monitor bracket near the window

@patrickdeutsch6101 3 месяца назад

We have an 8520t that had a cable go bad in the track and we couldn't keep the track aligned so out of necessity we ordered a new set from our local JD dealer. We put 16 inch half chevron tracks on and WOW what a difference in ride, old ones rattled your teeth out. Don't know if it's the deeper tread,the different tread pattern or both but the ride quality is definitely much better.

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

Will have to look into them! I noticed on our 8345rt that it rode much better with new tracks

@paulsanders1373 3 месяца назад

Is there a cost to be organic farm? What is involved in certified organic farm?

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

Lots and lots of paperwork. We have our organic farm in a different LLC than the rest of the farm to keep all the paperwork separate. I don't remember if their is a cost to transition but we had to pay for the LLC and we hire an organic consulting group that helps us with records and paperwork. Very hard to do without the consultants

@raymondmcclain9083 3 месяца назад

Looks like the same cultivator you use for non organic!!!!

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

I mean if you wanted to run it in the non-organic you could.

D&S tire in West Point Nebraska redo tracks for people might be an option

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the info!

@robinghunt 3 месяца назад

Why don’t farmers cultivate more. In the 60s and 70s that’s all we did. Very little chemical control.

@MB93WP 3 месяца назад

I’ve been told the cost of diesel and time and wear on equipment and you can’t get every weed

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

Pretty much. with chemicals you can very efficiently get every weed. 120ft at 15mph with a much higher kill rate than 60ft at 2-6mph

Is the weed pressure getting less as the years go by ?

@6thGenFarmer 3 месяца назад

It seems to depend on the year and how well our neighbors keep their fields under control. You never will have a weed free field, we just try our best to keep ahead of the weed pressure that we do have
