I I am glad you have someone in your life that supports your lifestyle on the farm and will work with you and next to you and buy the way you like most men me included have someone who is out of your league keep up the good work and best of luck to the two of you
Chris i have been a viewer of your channel for years now! I have been wanting to tell you that you have a great young lady in your life! Very beautiful woman and a great farm girl! You better keep her she is a keeper! And I wouldn't steer you wrong because I told you about the grain a
I must say that you are a lucky man to have found her. Not only that she is a great farmer and a blessing to you. She is beautiful ! Keep on keeping on Be safe
Grain corn silage and hay man your treating those big dogs like absolute kings and queens. Cool seeing the abs stuff my grandpa was a abs breeder I'm gonna have to find some of the old abs stuff for you to hang up
Chris coming from a 35-year experience seed sales rep. Look for a bush bean I know it's not ideal but if you use a bush bean it will help with the canopy
I plant all my beans with the corn planter, a few fields even get planted at a 45 to the straight rows to get my 15" beans it works pretty good but still have to cultipack after planting to push the rocks down and level the ground off some, plant a majority of them before corn here in nw wi..
As someone that is not a farmer please allow me to ask. If you have an 8 row planter at 30 inches; can’t you just off set your self by 15 inches and plant between the rows you just planted? All you farmers, save your hate, I think it’s a simple question from someone outside farming that appreciates what you do.
It's a valid question Before 15" and 20" rows became common, I remember guys with 30" planters would plant half rate one way, then go back half rate at a different angle to achieve "canopy" ... Of course it's an extra trip across the field. 30" rows have produced excellent bean yields. There is that..
At this point, the row width is less about planter spacing and population, and more about the ability to cultivate and spray with 18.4-38 tires. You need at least 20 inch rows to not run over the crop. 30 inch rows give a little wiggle room.
Before I bought a 15” soy drill, I tried splitting the rows with my 30” planter a couple times. I have very sandy soil, and it worked decent. It was a very cost effective way (cheap) to try a narrower row spacing. It just took more time. But when you do this, the second time you plant, to split the rows, the tractor tires are running on top of the rows you already planted. In heavy soils where compaction is a concern, running over the seeded rows would be bad. On my light, sandy ground, I like the 15” rows because they canopy sooner, and that canopy helps some with weed control. There are a lot of 22” rows in my area, and also 20”.
When I made the comments about the 30 inch beans I didn’t mean it in a derogatory way. I was just sharing my experience with it. I loved using the planter to plant them the fact that I had a monitor and way better depth control was great. I just didn’t like how they didn’t canopy and let the weeds come back late in the season even though I used a good residual. They didn’t yield as well for me either. If I had the weather and could get them in in late April I’d plant them 30 inch rows every year.
Get seed box extensions for the beans, I just switched to 30 inch beans last year with my 7200 Deere and the boxes run out quick. Planting 150-155k population
So great to see you and your girlfriend work together. And wow she really helps you out on the farm. I am so happy for you. I have been following your channel for I think 4-5 years. You do a fantastic job on the farm and for your friends. Keep growing and keep Farming.
I know you’re not loving hay but it makes money 3-4 times a year especially if you fertilize as you well know. The hay could pay for a hoop building. You could put one up on the concrete slab just for hay storage you could do one for equipment storage down where the old building was or anywhere really. But the hey could pay for a hoop building maybe one even big enough for hay and equipment. Just a suggestion. Then you could use the he building up by the house as a shop instead of storage. You can get your own spray in insulation and insulate it so it’s easy to heat
Love the content also 15 inch spaced beans have no significant yield increase as opposed to 30 inch spacing so justifying buying a specific tool unless you were to plant wheat or something similar would not make much sense in my opinion but it’s totally up to you because it is your farm.
WOW did we have a new drone pilot. Well certainly made a awesome video. Very pictures. Another fantastic video. Regards to you all from across the pond
Duffe, my dad had a planner just like yours we would do 50 acres and then come back for the arms up and do it again to make our 15 intros because we only had one planner. It work great for 10 years. did not change the yield.
Hi from oz chris. If your going to breed beef you are going to have to buy a crush and race panels and gates. So there's another 7/8 grand needed minimum
30 beans work great been planting more and more every year . Don’t be scared to put them in before corn either . Last year I planted majority of my beans before I put any corn in
If you plant 30 inch rolls with your corn planner you can plant 15 inch rolls with soybeams stop and think about it go down come back halfway and then just continue if need be I'll draw you a map ha ha ha
Surprised how well that side slinger does with bed pack. The knight side slinger we had as a backup never ran bedpack well. Quite satisfying painting the town brown!
Duffy, Try cross planting (double planting) some of your 30 inch row beans at a 1/2 seeding rate. It would be an interesting experiment. Also, you could use a double disk grain drill.
What a waste of time go to the Midwest nobody plants beans in the midwest very few planting with a drill lots of people planting 30 inch rows 2 but if the are planning 15 is with a 15/30 split planter plants 30 inch rows and the yield is just the same girls are meant for small grains they're nothing more than a controlled spill.
Find some knize bean meeters not john deere they dont work as well an not as acerate knisze are nuts on you want 160000 beans per area you will plant that setting is 5 x corn pop is how you set it
Nice Video Chris. A Wisconsi dairy farm,' you tube channel Gierok Farms had an in depth Artificial insemination video posted yesterday 1/14/25 I think Harlee might like it
Has ur friend brought you to keys and a couple new batteries for the Massey Ferguson yet or no? He should really hurry up and help a friend out since you are letting him park/leave the tractor on your property. Or you should just offer him something for the tractor and the worst he can say is no that's not enough $ for the tractor!!
Good idea to grow the herd to take advantage of the non tillable acreage. More cattle equals more manure/bedding You'll have to invest in a bucket with a grapple either for an exisiting tractor or the future skid steer.
Nope trying to do custom manure trucking and dairy farming would never go together ever, when you have a dairy farm you can never get more then two or three hours here or there that you're not back at the barn for something. Most of this manner trucking jobs he leaves home at 4:00 in the morning and doesn't get home till 7:00 or 8:00 at night it's not possible to dairy farm and do that.
I saw her bullin in the pasture I wondered if you saw that. I though that she was very small for that to happen. I have been around dairy cows but none that young. Thats wonderful that your girlfriend can breed cows.
Chopping corn silage like that which is full dried down. Absolutely no green left in any of the stalks. That makes terrible silage nor do cattle like eating it if you chop it at the proper stage of around 67 percent moisture. Looks like your moistures is in the 20s or 30s. Not very good.
I plant beans in south west Minnesota on 30 inch rows. I have neighbors that plant both 15 and 20 inch rows. I out yield them most every year. Don't listen to the nay Sayers.
What's that got to do with you, you Prat. As long as he's paying maintenance for the child, it doesn't effect, who he goes out with, you piece of crap, do you think the Ex, isn't going to go out, with another man, go and do one, you dead brain.
What an amazing team you two are creating. Congratulations, wishing many decades of joy and good health.
Chris you found yourself a wonderful lady.Love watching your farm grow i hope 2025 brings all your dreams come true
I I am glad you have someone in your life that supports your lifestyle on the farm and will work with you and next to you and buy the way you like most men me included have someone who is out of your league keep up the good work and best of luck to the two of you
Cold starts on those old deeres never get old. Looking forward to next season. Have a good one chris
I just noticed THE BURK FARM on the back of your shop , never noticed it before COOL
Chris i have been a viewer of your channel for years now! I have been wanting to tell you that you have a great young lady in your life! Very beautiful woman and a great farm girl! You better keep her she is a keeper! And I wouldn't steer you wrong because I told you about the grain a
Storage facility that you purchased
Videos are getting better and better
I must say that you are a lucky man to have found her. Not only that she is a great farmer and a blessing to you. She is beautiful !
Keep on keeping on
Be safe
Chris 30in beans will do just fine. We do them and they do really good
On wider rows need bushy beans
Gate boss did Great with the drone footage!
Grain corn silage and hay man your treating those big dogs like absolute kings and queens. Cool seeing the abs stuff my grandpa was a abs breeder I'm gonna have to find some of the old abs stuff for you to hang up
Keep up the great work chris and your gf
Great video

Nothing like an old john deere cold start 😊❤
You can always plant one way then plant again at a 45° to your first rows that will give you your 15" rows!
How is the hay loft cleaning going?
As someone that is not a farmer please allow me to ask. If you have an 8 row planter at 30 inches; can’t you just off set your self by 15 inches and plant between the rows you just planted?

Of course it's an extra trip across the field. 30" rows have produced excellent bean yields. There is that..
I agree with James ☝🏻. It will just take twice the fuel and twice the time, but won’t have twice the yield (usually)
At this point, the row width is less about planter spacing and population, and more about the ability to cultivate and spray with 18.4-38 tires. You need at least 20 inch rows to not run over the crop. 30 inch rows give a little wiggle room.

The sprayer would still run over to much crop if it was 15 inch spacing once he get a true sprayer it has thinner wheels
When I made the comments about the 30 inch beans I didn’t mean it in a derogatory way. I was just sharing my experience with it. I loved using the planter to plant them the fact that I had a monitor and way better depth control was great.

If I had the weather and could get them in in late April I’d plant them 30 inch rows every year.
A lot of guys here in northwest Iowa went back to 30s I plant 30s but I'm organic but find some kinze brush meters they are the way to seed beans
Nothing like the old Karen roads you used to drive , PTL! Keeper on the drone !
Get seed box extensions for the beans, I just switched to 30 inch beans last year with my 7200 Deere and the boxes run out quick. Planting 150-155k population
Thats some brilliant drone shots .
So great to see you and your girlfriend work together. And wow she really helps you out on the farm. I am so happy for you. I have been following your channel for I think 4-5 years. You do a fantastic job on the farm and for your friends. Keep growing and keep Farming.
Most sisters sprayers around here just go across 15in bean rows fyi, so don't worry bout that to much is you do get a 15in planter someday🤘
Why not on the hay over this way we always put it in the hay ground so the snow packed to the hay roots
I know you’re not loving hay but it makes money 3-4 times a year especially if you fertilize as you well know. The hay could pay for a hoop building.

Totally agree. Plus with 30in rows there is a better chance of avoiding white mold if you have that in your area.
WOW did we have a new drone pilot. Well certainly made a awesome video. Very pictures. Another fantastic video. Regards to you all from across the pond
Duffe, my dad had a planner just like yours we would do 50 acres and then come back for the arms up and do it again to make our 15 intros because we only had one planner. It work great for 10 years. did not change the yield.
Making white snow turn brown
Hi from oz chris. If your going to breed beef you are going to have to buy a crush and race panels and gates. So there's another 7/8 grand needed minimum
Chris, don’t be dumb! Get a ring on that girl’s finger before she gets away. It will be the best decision you will ever make.
brother, arent you supposed to let that manure compost first before spreading it?
30 beans work great been planting more and more every year . Don’t be scared to put them in before corn either . Last year I planted majority of my beans before I put any corn in
Great job Chris and Great droan shots you are getting it done thank you she is 👍 great
We can clearly see the impact of a woman's touch around the farm
looking good on the farm
If you plant 30 inch rolls with your corn planner you can plant 15 inch rolls with soybeams stop and think about it go down come back halfway and then just continue if need be I'll draw you a map ha ha ha
Good job, Duffy family, on keeping the farm clean and getting the cow ready for a calf, keep Rocken, and rollen my friend .the farm is looking good.
l figured she was in heat when l saw her jumping another cow.
I like a bull in the herd
Great job cleaning up and starting the addition to the herd!!
As always keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching thanks for the content
For 3 to 5 years you see a difference on the crop
My grandfather and another farmer both lost their lives to dairy bull s
Hey Chris, you have a lovely girlfriend, she's a keeper. Get her a milking stool and a bucket so she can do some milking lol ❤
Watching the drone video I think the grain site will be awesome.
That's slinging some poop
Norman is going to be the trouble maker
Surprised how well that side slinger does with bed pack. The knight side slinger we had as a backup never ran bedpack well. Quite satisfying painting the town brown!
A good bull is no bull. I got hit by a dairy bull once and that was one time too many
A friend got badly hurt by a bull too.
Duffy,
Try cross planting (double planting) some of your 30 inch row beans at a 1/2 seeding rate. It would be an interesting experiment. Also, you could use a double disk grain drill.
What a waste of time go to the Midwest nobody plants beans in the midwest very few planting with a drill lots of people planting 30 inch rows 2 but if the are planning 15 is with a 15/30 split planter plants 30 inch rows and the yield is just the same girls are meant for small grains they're nothing more than a controlled spill.
30" inch beans work just fine. That is what we do up here in Wisconsin. You just have to keep an eye on weed control intelligence they canopy out.
I would like to see you breeding a cow
Find some knize bean meeters not john deere they dont work as well an not as acerate knisze are nuts on you want 160000 beans per area you will plant that setting is 5 x corn pop is how you set it
Can we get a total equipment tour or all of the trucks and tractors
Chis you look happy hope she is too great job keep up the good work
we planted 30 " rows forever people just like to act like they know it all
Nice Video Chris. A Wisconsi dairy farm,' you tube channel
Gierok Farms had an in depth Artificial insemination video posted yesterday 1/14/25 I think Harlee might like it
Why can't you run 30 inch row soybeans. My dad did it for 20 years that I know of.
Spreader throws a nice swath with the beading and manure pack mix
Has ur friend brought you to keys and a couple new batteries for the Massey Ferguson yet or no? He should really hurry up and help a friend out since you are letting him park/leave the tractor on your property. Or you should just offer him something for the tractor and the worst he can say is no that's not enough $ for the tractor!!
🚜🌽
I can't wait to see the new the new stuff you going to do this year on your farms
NY doesn’t have any winter spreading regulations or stipulations?
Good idea to grow the herd to take advantage of the non tillable acreage. More cattle equals more manure/bedding You'll have to invest in a bucket with a grapple either for an exisiting tractor or the future skid steer.
It's your destiny to be a dairy farmer.
Nope trying to do custom manure trucking and dairy farming would never go together ever, when you have a dairy farm you can never get more then two or three hours here or there that you're not back at the barn for something. Most of this manner trucking jobs he leaves home at 4:00 in the morning and doesn't get home till 7:00 or 8:00 at night it's not possible to dairy farm and do that.
@Otherrandomguy42 ty very much for that breakdown.
Makes more sense your way.
With your mechanical background,it's kinda hard to not stay in that role.
Hello Chris!
My uncle only uses his corn planter for beans at 30inch rows so people don’t know what they are talking about.
I saw her bullin in the pasture I wondered if you saw that. I though that she was very small for that to happen. I have been around dairy cows but none that young. Thats wonderful that your girlfriend can breed cows.
Doing a great job getting ready for 2025 how is it going about having the bins up for 20-25
Drone Boss?
Nice
My brothers plant 30 inch row beans n are very satisfied n yield very well less investment so you can kept growing the farm
Beef cows r easier to breed with a bull and beef bulls are more laid back than dairy bulls
Get speader gose on a semi for hard stuff
💩🌾
I wish I still had cattle
Chopping corn silage like that which is full dried down. Absolutely no green left in any of the stalks. That makes terrible silage nor do cattle like eating it if you chop it at the proper stage of around 67 percent moisture. Looks like your moistures is in the 20s or 30s. Not very good.
20 to 30 inch rows on beans is best yields are better
I plant beans in south west Minnesota on 30 inch rows. I have neighbors that plant both 15 and 20 inch rows. I out yield them most every year. Don't listen to the nay Sayers.
Don't you have a kid
What's that got to do with you, you Prat. As long as he's paying maintenance for the child, it doesn't effect, who he goes out with, you piece of crap, do you think the Ex, isn't going to go out, with another man, go and do one, you dead brain.
Everyone knows he has a child. Mr Halfwit, talk about being a Mug.
You definitely, don't have much, between the ears 😂😂
You're probably lacking in the department to have kids .😂😂
@@Bpg5012trick He couldn't even keep it up, to have. 😂
