Wish we lived closer I would help you during the busy season since I retired now. Who knows maybe it will workout some day soon. 👍 keep your head up and nose to the grind stone. I know you aren’t scared of a little work🙏🏻🇺🇸👍
Thx for the video. Nice to see u back again. Couple thoughts from someone who doesn't do this, but would cutting the rye for hay a week before u plan to plant help. Cut it, let it dry a bit and bale it up for your cattle. Feed it to them immediately, cause I hear it doesn't store too long. But that would put it way back and open up everything for tillage or straight no till planting. Less material out there as well so, in theory, should b decently dry. If it's plenty wet rye, bale and wrap for silage bales. I hear cattle just love that. Just seems like an extra step is needed to make that rye plantable. We do constant no till planting in Canada here. We also plant crops alot more dense (7 to 12 inch rows) but a smaller plant (wheat, canola peas ect). Most will just run a heavy harrow over their field before planting to move all the chaf and old material around and allows air and wind to get at the soil and dry it out. Yes, we have different soil and practices in field prep, but may b an idea to help u long term. Goodluck this season
Here where we farm, there is alot of cover crop"rye" . And a rule of thumb here is to not kill it till it's planted. I've seen guys kill it and not get it planted and never would dry off, they ended having to burn the field to dry out.
Sure glad to see your videos back must be kind of early in the season because I’m watching you right now July 19 so your videos must be a little bit behind keep giving her hell buddy you’re a hard-working man for me I’d come and give you a hand I love Farm I’m an old farmer68 years old retired but I sure wish I had a part-time job
You're young, you're learning and cover crops require management, while bare ground does not. You will figure out what works on your soil-it's different for all of us. My ground has been NT for 20+ years and cover crop the past 10 or so, and it has been a learning experience for my tenants. Our soils are different (100 miles north of you) but when I started cover crops in the 90's the first problem I had was leaving it live too long and getting too dry in a dry spring. It's good to see a young guy being careful with purchases and busting ass to make it work. Wish I was 50 years younger to do it all again.
good to see you getting stuff done, the way i look at it you use with what you can afford, really would not to be deep in debt the way things are going
Good to see you still making it happen brother. Your boys gonna be big enough to run that stiger before you know it! thing for me i dont kill cereal rye until i plant or the day of planting. Water cant be sucked up from a dead root. Food for thought. Many blessings this year to you and the family!
We never had good luck with cereal rye either. Tried wheat last fall and way better. Heaviest ground we got and was the mellowest ever. Planted beautiful
Yeah that Beck’s guaranteed replant is pretty nice! We only had to replant some drowned out spots in about four different fields so it wasn’t too bad this year for us!
too bad you are over at washington , i would volunteered to come and help a little, i am over by floyds knobs so little distance, i use to farm over by hustonville, indiana so familar with ground you farm
I guess that is a SPEED PLANTER 40 ac hour 😮😮 fast !!! THANKS SIR !!Those wheels on the back of that planter are not going to close in that stuff SPIKES SIR !! 😢
I don't know if they'd let you or if you could and I don't know itd help any but you might could take your hay cutter over that rye and bale it before planting maybe just a thought. We cut overseed rye for hay and wrap it a good bit each year
@@Backintimefarms nah bro they be reliable as heck. We got two of them. Air cooled diesels just run for ever. We did just rebuild the steering cylinders and put new tie rods on one bcs they were leaking granted it’s like 35 years old. The other one needs a seat which is it. They reliable as heck
