- Опубліковано 31 бер 2024
- The new farm makeover continues...with some bulldozer work! Matt works on smoothing up the cleared ground and reshaping some of the slopes so that they can be planted. Kelly and Andy work on getting some nitrogen applied to the wheat crop using variable rate prescriptions. Matt apologizes for a mistake he made.

On the wheat I’m 68 years young. I help my daddy years ago. We used a pull combine with a M international. With a AC 65 or 66 it had a plate form so you could stand on it. Then you would use burlap sacks put the wheat in them tie them up. After that you send them down a shoot later you picked them up in a truck and carried them to the flour meal in Loretta, Tennessee to make flour to use for the winter. Sometimes weaves would get in it.
Thanks for sharing that history. I have vague memories of dad, uncle and neighbors running a pull type Minneapolis Moline with a bagger. I was barely big enough to get in the way.
Kelly, we farmers are seen as the enemy on the roads, every day it is a struggle to get to the land or back.
Most “city folk” wouldn’t,t know a tomato plant from a corn stalk.
You've got that new ground looking good.
That's the problem with people moving in to farming areas, is that they moved in not the farmland!!
Matt I always strip topsoil off first then fill in with subsoil and paint the topsoil on after
great land improvement not all renters care like you all gotta take care of the land so it can take care of you good dozer work
Enjoyed the video. I love taking a farm an making it useable again. God bless you all
Nother great video Matt, constantly amazed at the number of hats you have to wear to be a successful farmer. Congrats on the skill you show with the dozer.
Another great video Griggs family, the new farm is coming together. I hope y’all had a safe and blessed Easter weekend 🙏🏻
Here in eastern Colorado 1st to the 2nd week of September so it has time to stoole out gets us a much better yield
It takes a man to admit he made a mistake and a bigger man to apologize. It's a character of the American Farmer and Rancher more often than not. Can you say "integrity"?
Matt if farming don’t work out for you I think you’ve got a future building dirt bike tracks with all those waves and bumps you leave with that dozer 😜 I couldn’t help it had to give you a hard time. I HATE 6 way blades and those little flat track dozers. I’ve got an older 6R with a straight blade, rippers on the back and back up rippers on the blade. Just spent the big bucks sending it to CAT and their rebuild program. Cheaper than a new machine and everything is new. They strip it down to the frame.
That ground was like concrete. Really hard to shave it getting the initial bite. A disc and do-all will smooth it up real nice
You ride over the whole field , find the low spots , make a meadow strip , simple
You’re just a real expert aren’t you on your 3 comments. I hope no one’s dumb enough to actually pay you for advice.
We always rotate corn, wheat, double crop beans then maybe full season beans the next year. Depends on the farm or the year. We apply chicken litter before corn then again before wheat so some farms in the corn then wheat rotation get 4.5-5 tons of litter per year. We are in NE SC and SE NC.
Litter is way too expensive here to apply 4-5 tons per acre
@@griggsfarmsllceverything is way too expensive now. We used to get 17 ton truck loads for $250 per load. Not anymore.
Hey Matt, have you ever considered broadcasting wheat into the cotton a few weeks before harvest. I hear of wheat being successfully established from a broadcast into soybeans in some parts of the world, and with the right rain it might work in cotton.
That would not lead to a thick enough stand, high yields and could result in severe freeze damage due to the growing point being above the soil. In planted wheat, the growing point does not emerge from the soil until sometime in February. That would be fine to do as a cover crop, but not a crop grown for grain
@@griggsfarmsllc My understanding is that if the wheat can get established in the fall the crown will still develop under the soil surface. Even if the germination rate isn't as good as drilled wheat the increased tillering ability of the earlier established wheat may be able to compensate for the lower plant stand. I think that this would be a really interesting thing to try on a few acres. The practice works for some growers in Ontario, here's a video with some good information. ua-cam.com/video/A4i6OiYpv6g/v-deo.html
Happy late Easter griggs family and friends
You have a great grade lad.
Great video!! Do you know what is wrong with Joyce Bros have not posted in 3 weeks sick or hurt?
It’s been dry so I’m sure they’ve been busy in the fields and haven’t had time to post videos
We're still living.
Should be pushing that dirt in the field instead of the edge or ditch
Less vacations more work solves the problem
That's right, Matt! Don't you know farmers aren't allowed to take a vacation or have nice things? 😉😂
@@DylanJoyceFarms 😂
Matt, I thought you said it was the radio tower that hadnt paid their rent for a couple years
That too. But I don’t know for a fact since the land has changed hands
Can’t tile those wet areas? Hard to tell in the video with slopes n stuff if that would work. Or maybe did that pond out that’s silted in and lower the water table? My family did that with a pond close to our field and it helped big time
I think it was an old pond that got filled in long ago. I’ll probably just trying to haul some dirt in there this fall. Quicker than digging a trench for tile
@@griggsfarmsllc meant dig… not did. Ha. But whatever works best for you. Glad to see everyone doing well
What happened to the new dirt pan why aren’t we using it for moving that hill?
A dozer is much quicker and uses less fuel with that type of job since dirt wasn’t having to be transported
Little Debbie's Flour?
Do you go by soil samples, yield maps, or what criteria do you use to VR nitrogen?
NDVI Satellite imagery
Just curious why don’t you plant the wheat on bean ground?
Because I don’t have much full season bean ground and the little I do is too wet for wheat.
Very humble of you apologizing like that. Not everyone would do it thats for sure.
I’m curious as to how you deal with contracts on land like that. Do you shoot for a contract if so many years being the amount of work you have to put in, and money spent to get the fertility up? I know obviously you want it for many years to come, but we both know how people are now. I seem to get land like this, and am curious for my own knowledge.
Holler at me sometime and I’ll explain our land contracts. Too much to just type
