      Yeah, those Montana people just can't grow corn 😂😂. Meanwhile, we here in Idaho we can grow corn that can Rival even the Midwest. In fact, last month, I went through Nebraska and Iowa for work. And I saw y'all corn, and I gotta say Idaho did a better job. Then again, we also didn't have as bad of a drought as you guys. My gosh, y'all rivers were almost bone dry. Now, the West is known for its droughts. However, your state's drought is far worse than anything Idaho has seen in years. Now, I've lived on Idaho my whole life of 38 years. And I've seen a drought that bad. I pray y'all get some serious 🙏 rain and snow this year. Cause you guys need it.

    It’s so wild watching you harvest corn with flex reel. I love that you plant new things like the hemp & corn. Makes total sense to raise it for cow feed. Kinda like a triple crop, corn-food, manure-fertilizer & meat.
    Since the price of grain always fluctuates, I’d think growing a variety of crops, if you’re able, more options to cash in on.

    • @taylor11089
      @taylor11089 11 місяців тому +2

      I was thought/wondering the same thing. I think they would be far better suited to Raise Milo vs Corn. That and Milo is about a 1/3 of the Cost for Seed and requires about 1/2 of the Nitrogen/Fertilizer requirements and is Far more Drought Tolerant. It also is a Great Cattle Feed Option with the same Feed/Nutritional Benefits of Corn.

    Tony , running everything through the combine did think about baling the corn stocks to use or sale. Here in Illinois I know people that both feed corn stocks and use them for bedding. And you can just drop a windrow and then bale it. Just a thought for future. I enjoy watching your channel and would some day love to come to Montana and meet you all.

    30 bushel corn that's only 3' tall should easily flow through your 50' flex head. That's probably the most efficient way to pick it up. I wouldn't try it on 12' tall 250 bushel corn though.

    I am curious if you added any Fertilizer/Nitrogen Fertilizer or if you just Planted it and went with what Fertility was in the Dirt.
    I would like to see you give it a Go with a Real Corn Planter and Corn Header. Same goes for Milo, you are Really Suited to Raise some Milo/Grain Sorghum with your Climate.
