It's so nice to watch the small farm way. Everything nowadays is electronically based. I prefer the good old days. I found it very relaxing watching this video. It's a 👍👍👍👍 from me. 🌿🍃🚜🚜🚜🍃🌿
I agree! This was relaxing to watch. However, precision ag is the future. The "electronics" are helping farm operators achieve financial stability, obtain increased yeilds and are protecting the environment.
Yeah, that increased efficiency and higher productivity, who needs that? Everyone should learn how to do it the old-school way, because fundamentals are important and technology is not infallible. But if you're working at any kind of significant scale, you should get with the program of the modern era. Progress is a GOOD thing.
I prepped and planted a 20 acre field for horse hay. All I had to use was a 40 HP tractor, three point reverse rotation tiller, three point broadcast spreader and cultipacker. It took me longer than it probably should but it turned out great. It is now one of the nicest and best producing hay fields in the area. Small scale is not a bad thing.
@@jamor2549 it grows back every year, get three cuttings each year. The mix is designed by extension office agronomists and the different grasses and legumes compliment each otger, plus it is tailored to my climate and soil type. It takes a little longer to get it figured out but well worth it.
Haha well to be fair, I didn’t come up with it. “Bag rows” was how I was taught to get the first pass straight when furrowing a corn field. Of course with a furrow rake you then have markers to keep you straight after that. This was all pre gps!
Love your way of talking and actually teaching. You remind me of living traditions home stead. Where they talk you through the video and you’re actually learning
The videos involving hay production are some of my favorites. There's something so pleasant about watching the process, especially with the nice guitar music playing along. Thanks for posting this, Tyler.
I will be watching the hay field as we go along. I don’t think that I have known anyone that grew triticale for hay so it will very interesting to me. The field looked really good when you were done. Once again you got excellent camera angels and the two fisted drone flying / tractor driving was great. Good luck with the hay crop this year !!! Thanks for the video, always so appreciated.
All I saw was you and your dog out in the field so I'd like to take this opportunity to compliment the doggie on the excellent drone work. Well done pooch! (pass this along. I'm assuming he can read)
love the way you explain things to us not so farm people .....you are so awsume in your wways on the farm i wish i had a field or even a farm . you are so great at your farm thank you for taking us along for the ride ....love it all thanks from seattle washington
I enjoyed all the camera angles of your hay planting process, but especially liked the cloud time lapse. The hay field looks great. Wishing you a good yield this year.
You need a hand seeder. Attach it to your dogs back , tie a string from his tail to the hand crank on the seeder, then throw sticks out in the pasture, and tell him to fetch. You will have the pasture seeded and fertilized in no time at all.😊
In the Original Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles", the Enterprise was carrying Quadro Triticale. Spock pronounced it as you do...so you know you're right......
Looked at the calendar, said time for FTR to plant hay.. Will be anxious to see yield for spring 2022. Thanks for flyin' the drone, great video. How about flyin' the drone over the field in 30-45 days so we can see the growth. 👍💪👍💪
4:10 certified Honda small engine tech here, Yes it was most likely rainwater. No it won't hurt it. Even if some water gets past the exhaust valve it's fine. These get completely hydro locked, you just pull the plugs and crank it and it's fine. I had a guy mix up the lines from his fuel pump, the crankcase vent had the fuel supply pumping gas into the crankcase. He was pouring gas into the top of the carb to get it to start. It locked up in front of me. It was literally hydro locked on one side, and full of gas underneath. That engine currently runs my pressure washing trailer hundreds of hours later. I love these Hondas. 670/690 is so versatile. I'm usually an american-made kind of guy, but I'll buy these Japanese engines all day and night
We make a fair amount of triticale, mainly because it’s cheap and we can double crop it. It’s a fine line of when is the best time to make it. If we make balage and it’s really wet then it gets butyric acid and makes your hands stink but the cows seem to like it, ive made it dry and they don’t seem to like it very much and the heads have beards that seem to annoy the cows.
Good practical farming, low tech and simple fits the bill. Very creative use of paper bags. You are good at sighting and surveying! Watching you carry out the routines of farm life up close (how did that phone not fall off?) and from the air (great drone shots) is really enjoyable. Nice to watch someone else work hard, and smart too! You really are good at sharing your practical knowledge! Life long learner for sure. Thanks for making these videos, and for your guitar music.🎸 I look forward to each Tuesday’s release. Farmers feed cities! Stay well and safe. Thanks! Greetings from Canada🇨🇦
I knew when you had rain it was time to plant! I not even a farmer but, I would have love to had the chance! Callie look great! the field looks good as well! Great vid Tyler!
Do you think the fire has helped the field at all? Maybe in the spring you might be able to tell if there's any difference, just a thought. Nice to see a damp field and hope you get some more rain.
Field looks good, glad your planted and that the soils tolerated the work after the rain we had. Was wondering why you changed up your usual seed choice?
They have apps for your phone that are suppose to give you the same results as a GPS and will save you time in placing and removing the bags. Great videos!
Old school ways still work! If technology ever completely failed how many farmers, solely reliant upon GPS, would be be able to function? Fertilizer is incredibly expensive right now…we just went through our planning for 2022 and the cost for our planting next year is outrageous! Midwestern farmer here, so I have a few questions if you don’t mind. Will you get multiple cuttings off the triticale planting, or is this one and done like your three grain forage mix? Secondly, does the triticale require you to reseed next year? Finally, is alfalfa utilized much in your locale in California? (Thought process is trying to find something that allows multiple cuttings, and not have to reseed every year.)😂
Thank you Hoosier! Likely will only get one cutting on this field and will have to reseed much like the three grain mix. Yes there is a bunch of alfalfa out here but is only possible to grow on irrigated ground as we do not get any summer rain
First time viewer; I love all the camera work, especially when I had to duck to avoid the drawbar and then took one to the forehead from the front weight pack. lol
pretty impressive...i won;t feel bad buying hay this year...knowing all what's involved...rough work and then there's fuel and maintenance-wear and tear on tractors.
Tyler. You should of had them mix the Trit in with the fertilizer and spread it all the once. Would have saved you a pass. We do it all the time up here in Idaho.
When I used to do yacht sailing and navigation they used transit marks for swinging the compass and entering and leaving harbours . Quite simply two marks and you line the yachts up on them quite fool proof till some fool pinched one then you lined a compass on the remaining one
What analysis was the fertilizer that you applied? Here in west TN we always get the seed mixed with the fertilizer so that we only have to make one trip over the field with the spreader. Nice video.
Before I got a GPS I used a cheap bike wheel type measure from Harbor Freight and 3/4" PVC pipe driven for passes.Fert price increase and acreage increase made getting a GPS very justified.
Terticale is good on the drier conditions, they used to plant that a lot in the south of Portugal(my country) it is very very dry there, you can’t grow corn there without irrigation.
Are you sowing triticale for the first time? It is very possible that it is a Polish variety of "Lasko". Known since 1982. The variety most often used in cultivation in the world. One third of production is in our country. There are spring and winter forms of this species. Winter triticale is sensitive to the sowing date. It spreads in the fall. But there is hardly any frost in California. Better for animals than wheat and rye. Good luck with your development. I wonder how it will work in the Californian climate. God Bles FTR. :)
It is correctly pronounced the way you pronounced triticale. The definitive pronunciation guide has deemed it so - that definitive guide being *Star Trek* episode: _The Trouble with Tribbles_ Not kidding - they reference Triticale (specifically ‘Quadro’-triticale…) grain shipment as the plot mechanism behind the engorged and rapidly reproducing Tribbles as the Enterprise hauls the grain shipment. You are in good company in your pronunciation 🤣😂
Nice video Tyler! Nice to see moisture not dust. The Triticale should make some good hay for them there cows! By the way your four legged baby is getting big. Thank you for sharing:-) Stay safe and healthy:-)
New subscriber here Just wondering what time of year this was planted in? The video dates from November 2021 is this when you planted? I’m getting ready to plant my first hay field and was wondering how late it can go in
How much fertilizer are you using? It seems a little thin compared to what I'm familiar with. Ok, I just heard 150lbs/A. We use 300lbs/A or 100lbs of N.
that the seed they us for dairy cows, that is hell of of bags... to cut open and dump i think last year u planted with no rain at all money in the ground great day
Another great Tuesday video. I enjoy drinking my coffee ☕️ and watching those soft fluffy white clouds float by. I have questions? 1. Why the change in seed? 2. How long until there will be little sprouts? 3 How long until you harvest? 4. And most importantly, how is bottle calf? Great video as always. I love the variety of camera angles, makes me feel like I’m right there. Nice work. Also Callie is doing really well with staying close to you but not too close to the farm equipment.
1-I can use different herbicides with the triticale to help clean up the foxtails and wild oats in the field 2- sprouts probably after a week or so 3- harvest in the spring, probably April 4- Buddy is doing great! Thanks!

Im currently looking for about 50 acres and want to grow on about 20. What brand of broadcast spreader do you have? Look g forward to seeing your channel grow
hi Tyler hope you and your family are keeping safe and well I have been watching your videos for a long time now and when you say your planting hay I often wondering why you have to seed each and every year its not hay you really plant is it because if it was hay you plant it you would only need to reseed the fields every 5-6 years maybe more depending on the soil hay is made up from grasses such as rye grass timothy grass alfa alfa grass clover and so on what you are planting is cereal crops to me as a farmer and a lot of farmers that is straw you plant I cant remember if you let it seed before cutting which I think you do please don't take this offensive im not having a go im currious

That’s what I don’t understand about Tyler, is why he has to replant every year and only gets one crop.

I love the way you explained everything single detail I felt like I could farm tomorrow 😅 I wish I had an opportunity to do that keep up good job 👏🏿
Awesome video, like the New Holland action
Thanks for letting us hang out with you while you did your seating project looks good at least you got the moisture in the ground help snap them seeds
Hello Farmer Tyler…hope all is well with you and the family
Way kewl omg I can’t believe all the different equipment you have to use to grow hay !! Can’t believe you do all this by yourself ! Unreal
I have been watching you for a year now, it was basically this video last year when I started watching, pretty cool
Ha yeah I feel like I e made the same video three times now!
@@farmertylerranch4399 well keep it up bro, I will watch 10 more
Nice straight rows, good ground no big rocks to hurt anything, nice sunset, calm voice and a shot of the cows at the end, nice, just living the dream.

LOL I was thinking the same thing!
Oh yeah reading is the easy part!
Two questions: what fertilizer do you use on that field? And how to you keep the weeds from coming up?

Thanks Tanya’s Husband!

First time to see and loved the complete planting.
This is the first time I've seen you do this on your farm
You make me wish I could still farm
Do you think the fire has helped the field at all? Maybe in the spring you might be able to tell if there's any difference, just a thought. Nice to see a damp field and hope you get some more rain.
I don’t know it will be interesting to see

Sure looks like great soil! Nice flat field and no rocks. With that moisture your Triticale will jump out of the ground and be off to a good start.
The field looks great! That was a lot of work to get done in a day and half. I am interested to see the triticale hay next year. 👍
Thanks Evan, me too!
nice to see a blue tractor. a lot of the recommended UA-cam channels are orange. I mean I got orange but change of pace 😊
It’s very hard to justify the cost of GPS. Smaller farms have to improvise to stay in the game. Enjoyed watching.
beautiful sunset view. thanks
That looks soooo relaxing 😌 mybe I should learn hay farming

I learned something from this today. Thank you!
How soon before the seed starts to sprout? Enjoyed watching with my morning coffee. Thanks.
Should be a more than a week but not quite two I’m guessing
Tyler. You should of had them mix the Trit in with the fertilizer and spread it all the once. Would have saved you a pass. We do it all the time up here in Idaho.
Amazing how one person can feed thousands
When I used to do yacht sailing and navigation they used transit marks for swinging the compass and entering and leaving harbours .
Quite simply two marks and you line the yachts up on them quite fool proof till some fool pinched one then you lined a compass on the remaining one
People like you or me don't need GPS great job.
Exactly the subject matter i want to understand.
Is it necessary to re-seed every year?
Can we do a seed that regrown every year?
For this type of hay in this environment reseeding gives a much better yield. Although I have always been curious by how much
What analysis was the fertilizer that you applied? Here in west TN we always get the seed mixed with the fertilizer so that we only have to make one trip over the field with the spreader. Nice video.
Trying to figure out what to do with our draught pastures. Great job filming on this.

You have some nice soil there. Where I am at, it has a ton of rock so prep is a lot longer. What you did looks good.

I am still curious about needing to plant hay. Here in the midwest, it comes back every year.
Also the guy telling you about Mr. Spock is right.
Got some pretty country out there Mr. FTR
Thanks Tyler one busy Man 6-13-2022👍🏽👍🏽
A fine job. But perhaps the sequence is better for my next cultivation of new beans. To get the seed not stepped on back by tractor
Great Job!...

Hello I use old chemical drums to line my tractor up, they are yellow just put a like bit of water. Down under
Cool...
In India we do it in different way may be because of the small land parcels than you have.
Is soil compaction a concern, especially with the abundant moisture?

Looking Good. Now pray for rain.
Curious. What's the recommended planting depth for Triticale? Same as wheat?
I put it the same as wheat so hopefully!
Pardon my ignorance, I though you remove the dirt first, then you plant the seed then you put fertilize?? Please someone answer
Know what “The Fonz” liked to plant?
“Hayyyyy,”. Sorry - it’s all I got. It’s late.

I’m getting this question a lot. I’ll address it in a future video!
Is it strictly necessary to plow before doing this or can a spring harrow like this operate okay on bare flat ground coming out of the winter?
Is this grass which won't be grazed and used only left to grow to be cut as hay later?
How big is this field and how much time did it take to get this done? Also how much hay were you expecting and how much did you get?
what blend of fertilizer did you use ? and do you spread some kind of lime also ? thank you
