Will Hay Ever Dry Out? Spraying The Hills Of The Home Farm 

U can make them also

I tie a 5 gallon plastic bucket to my suction line when pumping out of and water source it keeps the line out of the mud and rubbish , the suction line goes inside the plastic bucket 🪣

I thought that he removed them before heating

Yep I agree 100% all that plant base and algae is good for the pond’s ecosystem. Cole guys here on RU-vid have built ponds and spent a lot of money and would kill to have their look like that. Fish need structure and the plant life puts o2 into the water. It’s a very important part of a health pond. Not if half of the top as covers in crap I would say it needs help. But your pond looks very health. Be proud brother. Corn looks good pond looks good hey looks good. And hell you even got a crop of “washed hay” lmao. Hey it was just bedding hey anyway so no harm done really. I know it’s not ideal but at least it wasn’t the good stuff.

​@@blackheart30518it's a farm pond it has to kept clean so the water is useful.

Corn looks great Duff Man!👍 Don't get overly aggressive with the pond, it regulates its eco-system. The fish use weeds as a nursery to protect from predation by large fish and other animals.

​A few grass carp would be good for the pond they take care of algae and would keep the weeds in check

I think it's dumping mud from drainage pipes which is not good

Seal on hydrostatic drive leaks. Have to pull the full assembly and go through it. Have some other smaller stuff to do as well

You need a little bit of algae for the smaller fish there serval different species of fish that you can buy to keep the weeds and moss under control so that you have a good ecosystem in your pound and most of them don't breed back catfish won't breed in a pound unless there's a spring large enough to do it and they help keep the bottom clean

You do have to get a permit in New York as they are not a native species.

Agreed

Nick Moreau aka South Sask Farmer on RU-vid pumps his spray water out of a pond. Just has a few jugs tied to the inlet to keep the intake off the bottom.

I used pond water for years. Screen on suction line with a 5 gallon can , 2 ft rope to suspend suction hose in pond. Cleanest water is 1 ft below surface.

Did you even pay a little bit of attention his ground was barely dry enough to plant when he planted it you'd be sitting there waiting the first of May for ground to dry and burying tractors to the axles trying to disc when the ground is wet that's an expensive a waste of time. 😂😂

@@Otherrandomguy421st of may would look a lot better than 1st of june

@@Otherrandomguy42 I like Chris very much. If I didn'tI wouldn't send him and Yenko stuff to help in getting stuff done like tools and a step ladder. There were fields that weren't so wet, and he spread manure only to have rain for a couple days only make them too wet to farm. It wasn't a bunch, only a time or two. I'm talking about the future. He said he wants to be able to grow the large corn like others already have. The only way I see that happening is if they manure is spread earlier in the year. As long as the ground isn't frozen and the Temps are above freezing during the day, they could start sooner.There were a few days he spread on dry days only to be rained out afterwards. I understand you have to work and make hay when the sun shines, but you also have to prioritize your work sometimes or your harvesting in December like last year. If I had the ability to do this work and a place to stay out there, I would come help him in a heart beat....I would do it for next to nothing. I would try to drive the extra manure tanker so he could focus on his farm. As long as I was fed and had shelter over my head with a little AC or heat as needed to be comfortable when not working, I would be there tomorrow....but I can't anymore, I'm disabled. I used to bust it from sun up to after sun down. Would work 7 days a week and a few times of 36 hours straight with barely breaks just for the bathroom. Those days are unfortunately gone.

​​@@Istatefarmerit literally will not when the first of May he would have been getting stuck everywhere he tried to go plowing/disking. His problem is he has land that is pretty darn marginal for growing corn on he really needs to start thinking further outside the box and start growing something. Suitable for corn silage and that's about it. As with anything that isn't River bottom land in northeastern New York it's not grain country to wet and heavy.

​​@@keithfrazier2558I didn't say you don't like them but the simple fact of the matter is you can't plant corn into wet ground the seed will simply rot. And he basically got on that ground as early as he could he was still working around the wetter spots. He's on heavy clay soil that's marginal corn ground and on a wet year you're not planting early.

Even if he had brazing rod probably would have still used the mig because it was faster but not the right way to do it. If he mentions he needs to get some brazing rod it will just show up someday in the mail(free)

I don't think shipping hay from Eastern New York down to Oklahoma is going to be very practical.

And what's your point farm ponds should be cleaned out regularly with an excavator and not let anything exist there in the first place.
