- The last of the field prep work before planting is getting done. Matt gets to test out his new Reynolds dirtpan while Andy get started variable rate spreading some dry fertilizer. The big question is, will Matt's tractor pull the 17 yard dirtpan??? Matt gives an update on the ground he ripped last fall.

I think it’s very important and entertaining I learn so much from you guys.
That clover is beautiful. Looks like the pan is working well!
I’m not a farmer, I have absolutely no experience in farming, I know almost nothing about soil structure or what a cover crop is or anything like that. But I absolutely love this content. I am fascinated with all the work that goes into what you guys do. This is the only channel that I’ve found where you show even the minor stuff that you guys do throughout the year. I love this content. As a guy that knows nothing about farming, when you put certain fertilizers out are you trying to get the soil to like a certain Ph or something for your next crop? Also in reference to the cover crop - do you plant that? Or is it just natural growth? And if you do plant it, why?
Hope Kelly has got over her health problem.Love your videos cheers from Bundaberg Australia
Put a camera in the pan where you can see the blade
Matt I enjoy watching your videos I use to farm until my health failed me I use to level ground for the farmer I worked for when I get the extra money I'm going to order a tee shirt may you have a bountiful crop this year
Buy yourself an 8R and you’d be super happy. Hard to beat the comfort and ease of use of a Deere product
I’m not a fan of John Deere. They make good products but they have by far the most complex and expensive emission systems, not to mention a premium price for the green paint and parts.
what is the chemical reaction that causes the fragipan to seal again? could injecting something like lime or gypsum behind the ripper points at the fragipan level stop that reaction?
I’m not sure what exactly the chemical bond is. Dr. Murdock does a pretty good job of explaining it in my “No Plows Allowed” video from this winter. I do know that there’s not an Ammendment we can apply that will dissolve the fragipan
aw the wonderful world of technology glad you pull ing some dirt add 3 or 4 teeth to that pan pull lots easier
Always good to help people. Glad to see you helping the small guy. Makes me appreciate your channel more.
Before watching this, I gonna assume you referring to my first girlfriend.....
You’ve gotten pretty good with the dirt pan!!
Seeing that old equipment, you should certainly use some antique equipment but incorporate modern methods, seeds, chemical inputs you have. (a mini series like these folks ua-cam.com/play/PLbh27vRY46kC-N3oQLuIfnG2pmVUdIFDj.html ) I suspect you'll gather more subscribers since there are a lot of new homesteaders with antique equipment budgets. A few hints: strip till through standing rye with a cultivator set to be the grooves for old shoe-style corn planters, roller-crimp the rye after the corn emerges with a cultipacker or smooth field roller/leveler "down and back" to flatten like a roller-crimper. Would be interesting to compare acres/hour rates and the purchase price of each approach; what would be the largest number of acres that could be farmed with the old gear (and new methods)?
I don’t farm in order to UA-cam. I UA-cam to showcase our farm and practices. Subscribers and channel growth is irrelevant to me. I don’t make content just to get views
Thanks Matt. Another awesome video.
Just curious what the total cost of applying cover crops comes out to. Cost of the seed and application and additional cost of burn down strips?
It depends on the blend I’m planting. Usually varies between $20-$50/acre. I don’t count the cost of the Burndown strips as additional because I would be doing a Burndown application anyways in a regular no till system.
do not have to have computers in the mix to have trouble over the weekend i got out the bush hog and put it on the tractor got it ready to use sharpened greased gear box checked still felt good so i started my first job of the year and out of the blue the drag link in steering broke so 240.00 bucks and a phone call i have one on the way not trying to out do you in any way just wanted to share mine with you and what i am dealing with trying to make a few bucks with bush hogging and garden tilling to help in the grocery store here
If you have equipment, it’s guaranteed to let you down at some point. Don’t matter what color it is
you got that right mmine is orange hope yall are doing well are you guys planting yet @@griggsfarmsllc
Is clover better then vetch
Like them both equally
Hey Matt when you and Kelly decide on purchasing a new or slightly newer tractor what kind of tractor would you purchase? New Holland or Case IH
Best available for the price. We’re color blind
@@griggsfarmsllc I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it won’t be green right 🤣🤣🤣
@@BillMorris-sx7vi that’s probably a pretty safe bet but if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never say never
@@griggsfarmsllc Amen Matt , have a safe and blessed week.
