God evening Ron!! Thank you sir, I think putting some coin back for the future is my best bet! Thank you sir for the encouragement and always being here I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Awesome field prep Nelson. You had a good opportunity to seed that day. Our grass seed is broadcast here and then we harrow it. We were on the road during your livestream but managed to catch most of it. The drone footage really doesn’t hide much and we have really come to appreciate how the view from above tells the story of the land. Great stuff.
I was blessed that day to get it sewn before the rains!! I wondered about that, but they say so much not to get it in more than 1/4-1/2" . If this floos, I'm gonna take all the pressure off my drill and try again!! Hoping with the rains, and the cultipacker, that it works out!! Non worries, thank you both for that! Hope the trip went well!! Some family members really enjoy the look of their homeplace, so I enjoy flying the drone!! Thank you both for all the support, and encouragement. Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! I hope the bale truck repair wasn't awful, curious to see what that was!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻
Good morning Mr Louie, I hope you are well my friend! Thank you sir, I am very pleased with the seeding, fingers crossed it does produce decent. Thank you my friend for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much my friend! It is a tuff road, but we are living the dream!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🙏🏻 Hope yall made it through the storms, ok
That it has Mr Matt, sometimes I need to concentrate on what works first then jump in later 😉 Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you sir!! We really got lucky here at the farm. I only got 4 inches over a week and not to much wind. It washed a few places but nothing major!! Fingers crossed it comes up!! Thank you my friend, for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Amen Mr Bryce, and THANK YOU for being there till the end!! I absolutely love that cultipacker, it really makes a nice seed bed for sure!!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Been trying to catch up a little over your way this weekend!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Two tractors working in the same field..... I haven't pulled that off in years😳 Way to go Nelson 😊👍 I hope the orchard grass pans out well for you. When I seed hay I mix many different grasses together. Now if I could only but quack grass seed🤣🤣 I hope it comes on fast.
I was beyond excited my buddy agreed to run the 180 for me, sure did speed things up!! Me too, I think I am setup well.enkugh to keep the nitrogen to it, and hopefully can keep the weeds at bay!! I thought about mixing some, and may should have...but wanted to give the OG a try as a stand alone. I heard that 🤣🤣 Thank you Adam, fingers crossed it does!! Really appreciate you always being here, I hope things are well!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you very much, we will see how things pan out next season! Fingers crossed for sure!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🏻
After watching this video I'm a bit jealous. It's been a few years since we have had 2 tractors running in the same field. We got just a little over 4 inches of rain from the hurricane here in West Tennessee. Orchard grass likes soil pH levels between 5.5 and 6.5. And after it gets established it requires at least 120 lbs of nitrogen per acre in the fall each year. That may sound like a lot but I promise you it will be well worth it. Orchard grass makes great hay IMO. As always, I'm looking forward to your next video.
I have been waiting for the chance to run them both, and my buddy was willing g to help that day!! It sure was neat and sped things up quite a bit!! Hopefully just rain y'all got, we had 3.5 inches over allmof last week, so it didn't wash to bad. Unlike the mountians of both our states😢😢🙏🏻 I think the soil PH is almost perfect according to samples, and I put a modest amount of N to it now. I hope it does come up well, and I sure will take that advice and take good care of it. I am hoping to grab another market myself and pocket a little little coin to help with the farms future. I can't say thank you enough for being here, and I really appreciate the input and advice!! Hoping things dry up for y'all soon!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good evening Nelson. Orchard grass, the one grass that looks like 95% chaff, but it still grows. We have planted quite a bit of it. Hasn't planned out so well for us, as we can't get in cut before it's too ripe.. if it's cut early enough, second crop is fairly common.
Good evening Ed!! It does really really well around here. Very high dollar as well, not that mine will be but anyway 🤦🏼🤣🤣🤣 We are gonna see what happens, there are a few others I am gonna try too and see what works best!! I see what you mean yalls way. Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
That is very promising news, I may end up planting some more in the spring!! Thank you my friend for the insight and always being!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻
You did it! I hope the orchard grass does very well for you. Sorry, I missed the live stream the other night. Hopefully the Allis isn't too serious.👌👍😁🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🚜👨🌾🛻🌽🌱🌾
I have my fingers crossed, you all know how I can screw things up🤦🏼🤦🏼 No worries at all, you already knew some of the plans that were discussed 😉 I can't figure that one out, went back to it thr next day...ran like a top. Need to get it really hot and see what happens. Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope things ate going well your way!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🚜🚜🌾🌾👌🏻👌🏻🍻🍻
Good evening Nelson. Field came out looking pretty good. Orchard should grow pretty fast in the spring in your climate. You'll probably be making first cutting when we're still shoveling snow. 😂👍🇺🇸🚜
Good evening Mr Will !! Thank you sir, I can't complain!! It is amazing how a crop before hand makes the difference!! That is what I have been told, fingers crossed I don't mess it up!! I won't say I am gonna disagree, y'all have some lasting winters for sure 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you my friend for always being here , I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Howdy Nelson! I'm really impressed with how well that offset disc cuts. I think you're making a good choice putting that field back into hay for now. I know it isn't where you wanted to be, but sometimes we need to take a step back so we can keep going forward. Good customers are really a blessing. Something neat I noticed about your Herd spreader, it says Logansport Indiana on it. I never noticed that before on those. Logansport is about 70 miles from here. Nice use of furnace duct sheet metal for a patch, that's my go-to for combine patch material. I hope there isn't anything too serious wrong with the 180. Thanks for bringing us along again, Nelson! I hope you have a good week, my friend!
I am so blessed to have found that offset, not to big but almost just right for me!! I worked so long to find one and try to get that disc tiller to work. A year of crops sure helped as well!! Thank you sir, I AGREE totally, a few steps back sometimes keeps the forward motion rolling!!! My customers are amazing and they have more that are in the market!! Sometimes big enough to supply, but small enough to promise them goods...is a blessing!! Wow really? That is so cool, they are still in business too I believe! That duct works perfect for those and yes sir, got some stashed for Glenda as well 😉😉😁😁. So far the 180 is doing well, not sure what thay skip was about 🤔 Thank you my friend for all the support, and always being here!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Looks good, should make a nice crop. I planted orchard grass and alfalfa last spring. Put in alfalfa because I'm an old dairy farmer and old habits die hard.
Thank you Mr Pete, hoping I did most of it right!! I have been debating on that exact combo as well in a field this spring. Time will tell, I understand the habits for sure!! 😁 Thank you sir for always being here and the kind words! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
It did, so mellow after a crop like I was told!! Praise the lord, the rain was spread out at the farm a lot. No more than 1.5-1.75 any day of last week. I few small areas that it washed maybe 2 inches, but all in all, it fared well. I think the packer helped more anything!! Prayers for all those in the mountains of TN and NC. Hope your crops held up well. Thank you for always being here I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🌽🌽🙏🏻🌱
Keep doing what you're doing it seems like you're still always growing and making more. Coming from someone who knows nothing about farming. I see progress

Hay is a decent money maker. Just a lot of work. Sometimes we just have to backup and go with what works. Did you use hauled or unhauled orchard grass seed? I used unhauled orchard grass seed a few years ago and just ran it through the regular seed boxes on my grain drill. I mixed wheat, prenatal ray and orchard grass seed together. It worked well for me. Have a good week Nelson.
Hello Mr Monty!! Yes I think it will be a good fit for me to put more money back in the farm. Yes, I think I will return to corn at some point, but gonna try this!! It was hulled. I may try the drill the next time I sow something for sure!! I wanted to try it all orchard grass, but time will tell if that was a good choice 😳 Thank you Monty for the encouragement and always being here!! I really appreciate that!! Hope you do as well!!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you Mr Charlie, it was a first for me but fingers crossed it works!! I was so taken back by that, they are truly great customers!! Thank you sir for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope things are well your way sir!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🌽🇺🇲🇺🇲🌱🌱🌾🌾

NOOOOOOO COWS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That is one crazy venture I doubt will ever sway my mind enough to try 😉🤣🤣 Thank you Russ for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Well done Nelson, the field is as smooth as silk after the disc and harrow or culti packer, love the Blue and White color in the field, when a 3000 is max field weight ballast you will do amazing thinks with that +-46 hp
Thank you, Mr Jan!! I can't complain at all about the field, now if I can make it grow!! 🙏🏻 That little Ford 3000 has been such a staple on the farm!!! So very useful!! Thank you Mr Jan, I knew you would enjoy the ford!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻
You damn well aren't selling orchard grass for goat hay..... that's the premo stuff for those rich horse people... Orchard grass does really good here, grows like crazy in our cool climate. I'm thinking you made a good desision.... Thanks Nelson.
I am hoping for primo from that for sure!!! I am hoping to keep several levels of quality and varieties for the customers. I can only hope to snag some horse people 😉 I am gonna see how it goes the first season and go from there. I have heard it does well here, and hoping I can make it work!! Thank you my friend for the encouragement and support!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
I don't know what your dry fertilizer has for nitrogen. But from what I have dealt with on orchard Grass like such you need a minimum of 50 lb per acre nitrogen. With that being said I applied 75 per acre once in spring and then after every cutting and I had very good tonnage.
I got pretty close to that number, and hope to hit it again in the spring. I need it to grow quick and thick, to outrun the weeds!! Time will tell, but I feel I may have a better chance at this for now and get better prepared for row crops down the road!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate!! And for the great advice!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
I am seriously considering finding one that needs some love and dolling it up just for grass seeds etc. So far the 180 is back to normal, not sure what that was about but waiting to put it back under a big load and see 🤔🙏🏻 Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁🇺🇲🇺🇲👌🏻👌🏻
Still funny to hear you disking but not hear rocks clanking 😂😂 My only suggestion if you keep planting hay seed is to plant a blend. Some seeds do better in hot weather, some in cool weather- same for wet and dry conditions as well. Try to get the best yield possible. Good luck my friend. I am sending you a picture of my current rental equipment tomorrow 😉
I am blessed, with my OCD it would be never ending rock picking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I so wanted too on this one, but wanted to try complete orchard. I think the next couple of fields will be a blend for sure!! Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!! Man yeah, I am looking fwd to seeing what are getting to play on now 😉😉😉😁😁 I finally removed the injection pump on the loader yesterday. I wanna do a LOT of clearing myself this fall and winter, more hay ground 😉🤦🏼🤣🤣 Thank you Mr Chris for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
You should be good. I know you said the soil was a little tacky, but the rear tires were clean when you put down the seed so I think you should be in good shape. I just hope don’t get too much rain and have a bunch of ruts.
It was amazing how the fluff with the disk dried it out so quickly!! I was pleased with the coverage and how the sowing went. I was worried about the storms, but it honestly wasn't bad. Only a little over 4 inches all.week and only a slight 4-5ft section that washed a little 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Time will tell.how it goes, hoping I didn't make a mistake with all this. Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all made it through the storm ok, up your way. 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🏻
I'm envious, I paid my kids 50 cents an hour to pick rocks, I think rhe college was paid for that way, I see no rocks in your prepped ground, your tillage looks great
I am VERY blessed honestly on the rocks 🙏🏻 Go 15 miles south east or nor g west and is rock city!! I heard that, I would have to pay myself 🤣🤣 I have now picked up my share of roots from.all the clearing , but we are finally working most of that out!! Thank you very much sir for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Just in time for sure. We got 4 inches of rain before the hurricane and 7.5 inches from the hurricane. So we got a bunch of rain here. I imagine you got a fair bit too. Not like WNC did.
I honestly couldn't have timed that any better!! We ironically only got a smidgen over 4" all week, including the hurrican/TS on Friday. It was pretty spread out and didn't cause much washing🙏🏻 I know y'all were needing rain, but hopefully, that wasn't too much at one time. The mountains of NC and TN, I can't even imagine. So devastating and heartbreaking. Prayers to all that went through that there and any areas effected by the storm. Thank you Mr Tom for for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Good evening Nelson. Replanting grass for a guaranteed crop with buyers lined up sounds like a good solid choice.

Some seeds do better in hot weather, some in cool weather- same for wet and dry conditions as well. Try to get the best yield possible. Good luck my friend. I am sending you a picture of my current rental equipment tomorrow 😉
I am blessed, with my OCD it would be never ending rock picking 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I so wanted too on this one, but wanted to try complete orchard. I think the next couple of fields will be a blend for sure!! Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!! Man yeah, I am looking fwd to seeing what are getting to play on now 😉😉😉😁😁 I finally removed the injection pump on the loader yesterday. I wanna do a LOT of clearing myself this fall and winter, more hay ground 😉🤦🏼🤣🤣 Thank you Mr Chris for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
You should be good. I know you said the soil was a little tacky, but the rear tires were clean when you put down the seed so I think you should be in good shape. I just hope don’t get too much rain and have a bunch of ruts.
It was amazing how the fluff with the disk dried it out so quickly!! I was pleased with the coverage and how the sowing went. I was worried about the storms, but it honestly wasn't bad. Only a little over 4 inches all.week and only a slight 4-5ft section that washed a little 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Time will tell.how it goes, hoping I didn't make a mistake with all this. Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all made it through the storm ok, up your way. 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🏻
I'm envious, I paid my kids 50 cents an hour to pick rocks, I think rhe college was paid for that way, I see no rocks in your prepped ground, your tillage looks great
I am VERY blessed honestly on the rocks 🙏🏻 Go 15 miles south east or nor g west and is rock city!! I heard that, I would have to pay myself 🤣🤣 I have now picked up my share of roots from.all the clearing , but we are finally working most of that out!! Thank you very much sir for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
Just in time for sure. We got 4 inches of rain before the hurricane and 7.5 inches from the hurricane. So we got a bunch of rain here. I imagine you got a fair bit too. Not like WNC did.
I honestly couldn't have timed that any better!! We ironically only got a smidgen over 4" all week, including the hurrican/TS on Friday. It was pretty spread out and didn't cause much washing🙏🏻 I know y'all were needing rain, but hopefully, that wasn't too much at one time. The mountains of NC and TN, I can't even imagine. So devastating and heartbreaking. Prayers to all that went through that there and any areas effected by the storm. Thank you Mr Tom for for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲
