The cost of equipment has became completely out of control. Also the parts to fix equipment have became stupid expensive With financing rates as high as they are now buying equipment with money you don’t have is not feasible Yes cattle and grain prices have improved but with input costs doubling it just equates to more money moving through your hands.

Used chain link fence with pipe across the tail end will cover seed as well. Cheers to first generation low budget farmers im with you brother. You taught me gow to weld over 5 years ago and ive fixed up multiple pieces of junked metal implements from other farmers that were in their scrap piles and are now my implements i use every year. Do t give up on your dream brother. Your doing it

Yeah, i have not fertilized my 62 acres of dwarf apple orchards since 2018, most of my soil is basically beach sand. I irrigate a lot and the brush we prune off every winter gets chopped with a woods or bush hog rough cut mower and is left on the surface of the sod on the orchard floor. Basically the same way it works in the forest, left to decompose naturally on the surface it definitely goes back to feed the trees.

You are 100 percent correct about commercial petrochemical based fertilizers. I sold all my hay equipment years ago. Buy in all my hay now by the ton in round bales. Bale graze it with goats over the winter here in NYS. Run the feed through ruminants. Grow animals with imported feed. There is quite a bit of NPK in every round bale imported to the property. One not only imports nutrients and minerals but also carbonaceous material. Increase organic matter percentage of the soil all while growing a marketable product sounds pretty darn good to me. The explosive growth the year or two after bale grazing is nothing short of incredible. I loathe to use machinery and fix it now. Only keep around the smallest machinery needed for my tasks and rent anything needed for large projects. Focus here on the farm is now 100 percent on using ruminants with rotational grazing, or browsing since I'm running goats, to increase soil health and send a product to market with as few petrochemical inputs, human inputs and keeping all input costs across the board as LOW as possible.

Chuck fertilizer is great but you HAVE to disc it in or the nitrogen will literally evaporate and drift away leaving you with nothing but a big bill for diesel and fertilizer that didnt help at all

A Cultimulcher/Cultipacker would make that Field Perfect, nice and smooth. That’s what they mainly used in Pre 90’s.

Glad to see you back lance

I made a drag out of chain link fencing and oilfield pipe they are both cheap to free and you can make them almost any size.

ok on the back of your drag harrows there are supposed to be what look like grandfather clock weights that clip on the rear of the chains and stop the jumping up and folding the selves into an ungodly tangle so i put a piece of scaffold tube across and chained a suit case weight to it which works but it has the added benifit you can pick it up and drive it foward thus folding the chain harrows the tie the drag bar and the weight bar together with bailer twine for easy moving around then when you gt to where your going untie the string and unfold with the loader and et voila

Snow chin pliers hey look about like bolt cutters but they are able to open and close chain links for semi snow chains might help with closing the links up on that drag chain

There is some 'high tech' stuff coming up that may be of use in certain cases.. Green on brown and now green on green spraying technology, particularly. But I would expect that like with 3d printed guns, the costs for this stuff will start coming down dramatically in the next decade.

Wouldn’t a cultipacker be a better idea?

It sounds like you might be building something in the near future. Hope to see on video

It’s wild how many backlogged videos you have and I’m shocked that pretty much always recognize the og videos they came from. Really wish you would film some new stuff

Why don't you use a grain drill for the Sudan

Interesting

i disagree, if you have water and good growing conditions fertiliser pays big, on my farm last year in a perfect season, (record barley yields) 9tons a hectar with 120kg N in yara 21-3-10 npk. (550kg) no fertiliser applied perfect season 4.5 tons a hectar. fert cost = 50 usd/100kg Grain = 0.3usd/kg = fert cost = 275 usd, grain yield increase - 4 tons = 1200 USD. this year however, i had a drought and fully fertilised yielded 3.5 tons, which is below the grounds potential of 4 tons without fertiliser, so if your farming around the ground potential fertiliser is not profitable, but you should run the test on your farm over a coupple of years. Gl with your farm :)

need a roller

LOL 7:26 animals

How many acres do you have?

Officialweldingarch2041, what you are wanting to build is a tillage implement known as a Culti- mulched. Look them up I think you could find a very reasonable price on one your tractors could handle.👍🇺🇸✌🏻

Be sure to wash the fertilizer off of your stuff because it will eat metal like acid.

Who's the yayhoo that designed that hat? Yeah, holes okay for a strap, but, what's gonna happen in a rain? Water gonna drip on your ears, possibly in one now and then. Ya want a strap? Sew it into the band, don't drill holes in the roof.

Interesting! Informative but content doesn't match the title of the thumbnail about being low budget. Nothing low budget about any of the equipment used.

Fertilizer is a black hole that does nothing? Tell the guys growing 400bu/ acre corn in the Midwest that. They use a whole bunch. Yes obviously the soil healthy and structure and farming practices are more critical. That’s agronomy 101

If everyone & everything is A scam then who’s the real scammer?

Never have I heard such a load of nonsense, your taking out your backside, take stock of yourself will you 🤨🤨

@officialweldingfarmingarch2041 if you have an soil water conservation district, an extension office from a state Ag college or whoever your department of fish and wildlife is, check in with them amd ask them if thwy have a no till drill for rent. Some agencies dont charge some do. But to save on fuel and field passes as well as seed soil contact and coverage just fyi. Also of your wanting to over seed existing pasture that you don't want to till completely up.
