I could listen to George all day. His knowledge, wisdom, and experience are beyond measure.
AARON we need sweatshirts and t-shirts😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀we have a couple of your hats already….. very relaxing watching it from the drone.
Yes Arron on hoodies and. Tees plz
Cows love alfalfa leaves and will take forever to clean up the stems. That’s where a mixer wagon comes in, they can’t eat just the leaves when mixed with some grass or corn silage. Plus the silage moisture softens the alfalfa stems.
That drill is the trick.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO AARON 😊
It is neat to see Wisconsin green in the spring. Also looking forward to watching it grow all through the summer.
That sounds exactly what my dad used back when farming mixtures of alfalfa, Timothy, etc. bring back many spring memories.
We also seeded down alfalfa with oats as a cover usually combined the oats for bedding. We mixed timothy seed with the alfalfa in a Minneapolis moline grain drill. Then pack the fields with a brillion cultimulcher.
Wow. Fescue takes over in my area. We would usually plant either Timothy or orchardgrass with alfalfa, and seed into fall planted oats no til. No farmer is wrong doing what they know works for them! Great video!
Wow Aaron you can grow a full beard in a week 😂...must be a pre-video😊.
Thanks for sharing another great video, always enjoyable and interesting, also enjoyed the drone footage
Excellent video 📷
Getting it done. Here the winter wheat is being chopped for silage, liquid manure being spread and soon corn will go into the ground. Here by our milder winters and no till double cropping is standard
That beater is something I wish our older Great Plains drill had.
Really enjoyed the drone footage. Thanks for sharing.
We were taught from birth in Tennessee not to farm the side of a hill. All you have is the side of a hill. Cool how people learn how to do with what they have. Great job guys!
Enjoyed this. Would imagine little rivers of water flowing down the hill if the furrows if you didn't drag it.. I also appreciate getting a birds eye view of the fields. It does give a little better understanding of the hilly nature of the farm and is beautiful. You are doing fine with the drone. Thanks.
Let's get to work you say, You mean like" A little less horse manure, and a lot more horsepower"!🤣
Great video. What you call a drag we call a harrow here in the UK. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.
We always seeded down alfalfa/orchard grass with oats and then chop oats at the milk stage but we cut it a little higher so the hay eastablishes a little more.
Nice video Aaron
Certainly a beautiful day to start the spring planting season. Like watching how your family handles the machinery on sloping land.
We would mix the Timothy in with the Alphalpha....Brome Grass with the 0ats...😊
Great video!
One of the coolest planting videos I ever saw was when someone got their camera in a perfect position to see the furrow get opened, the seed drop in and then the furrow was closed, it was really cool.😎
Looking forward to seeing the new seeding emerge and the corn planting videos. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to watch the machinery working.
Just a little suggestion rolling your field afterwards would probably help with eroding and the push any rocks back in the ground to help with when you harvest you don't damage your equipment as much lol
I like the way you farm . I used plant 40% Red Clover, 40%Alfalfa 20% Timothy. 3 cuts each year, for 3 years, and ploughed down for corn silage. Hay was large round wet wrapped. And I always sowed Oats and Barley mixed together as a cover crop for hay seeds. Mixed grain gave me higher straw yields. And I always swathed the grain and combined with a pickup, because some years the hay would start to grow up into the grain before harvest. And cutting with the swather and letting it dry a few days. All of the green hay would go right through the combine without plugging.
You have very nice equipment and maintain it very well.
We sure have had nice weather to get field work done. Hope some rains show up to help the seed sprout. Thanks 😊.
Yes, t-shirts!
Interesting video! Good discussion! Enjoy these days working with your dad and learn as much as you can from him. Take care and be safe...
Thanks, you too!
Great video
Oh ya I worked on a dairy in the early 90's and it was alot of Timothy alot lol
I grew up with a four section drag like you have. We had a 12 foot John Deere press drill for saving oats and alfalfa mixing them together. West of Glenwood Minnesota. We got about 100 Pushaw, the Acre on her oats
When is your first cut hay in this field ? Here in Holland we seeding grass before winter after cornsilage harvest
Looking good guys....i dont order tee shirts from videos because none have pocket tee's
Just thinking when it comes time to harvest those oats you're going to really have to move really no hauling involved you're right by the storage building and how are the other Farmers crops growing especially those that planted really early are they coming along okay
Good job men
When will you start on the new field you leased
Just wondering why the drag was not behind the seeder
When we seed ryegrass we seed it with fertelizer spreader and finer hay with drill and Roll it to flaten corn rootballs and stalks
Ever considered a no till set up?
looks a nice seed bed , here we would always roll it as the last pass to get good soil to seed contact and keep any moisture in the soil , and push in any stones for mowing , just wondering why you do not use a roller ?
Is your farm near Whitehall or Blair, Wisc??
I see you have what looks like three full corn bins, and only one empty, is that normal for April ?
👍
❤😊 My Old IH M GRAIN DRILL PLANTS IN PECK'S
I suppose that makes for some extra figuring at planting time my Case IH 5100 plants in bushels
Hilly and sloped land. What part of Wisconsin?
Do you roll the field after drag harrowing it?
