I can now appreciate why you indicated you would like two separate systems on the sprayer trailer when you do an upgrade to better serve multiple sprayers
I think if you had a spike, you could puncture the bottom of the jugs once the foil top has been punctured, to let air in and the contents out much faster. Spike on a length of cord of course so it could not become loaded into the sprayer.
Lol I'm just like your wife in the nap department. But I never need them, and if I do take one I wake up more tired then before and I'm almost always in a horrible mood. At 31 almost 32 give me 3 to 4 hours of sleep and I'm up and gone. Especially if there's something I have have do
@@robo1210 true but they could still fill faster because water can load faster if they aren't going slow while they are filling chemical. Also I think they have extra guys so it wouldn't be more people on the pay roll.
would turning the RINSE water on when you first stab the bottle kinda FORCE the muk out faster?>?? is it bottles in or ''fill to line'' kinda misxxsing you doin?? or would turning the water on that soon just ''waste water'' ie, it don't help as much with the RINSE cycle and no noticible time difference in EMPTY BOTTLE time... wow... that was proollyt MIKESPEEK cuz it didn't eeven sound rite to ME!@ LOL HAHAHAHA good morning all!!
Hey Mike, it’s June whatever when this video was made…do you guys ever get to wear shorts 🩳 or get into your summer clothes. All you guys wear aid hoodies and jackets 🧥 come to South Georgia and defrost for a little while!! You guys need some warm weather!
Have you guys ever tried having like a poker to stab a hole in the bottom of the containers when they are inside to speed the emptying process By the way I love your work I’m from Australia so it’s great to see This stuff
Always enjoy your content Mike. I understand that your land is not 100% flat but why wouldn’t say a 160ft boom spray better accommodate your operation. Less swaths, less wheel tracks, less end of row turns, higher productivity, get home sooner.
So Mike - at 22:55 you say that when you're all rocking out there you can do 1300 acres per hour.... at the beginning you said its a 1750 acre field so less than two hours to do it at 1000 - yes? So why you there for so long?
1750-1000 is 750. 1000 acres an hour with 5 sprayers. Not all 5 sprayers need to be used on 750 acres so they probally sent a few home. Decreasing the efficiency
@@realredditstories420 But all 5 sprayers were there - thats what Mike said. In the video description too. I was averaging it to 1000 acres per hour as Mike said was a more likely average.
I am not sure if Mike said that or was some other UA-camr. Removing rock piles isn't a priority because usually, they have been there for generations. Turns out that oldtimers but rock piles over some huge rocks so when you remove the majority of rocks from a pile you find a huge rock that you can't move.
So to be honest you don’t need 8 hrs a day of sleep honestly humans were designed to go several days straight and crash hard for 4-8 hours then go another 3 days or so. Here is the thing we don’t hit rem sleep like we used to because we have put ourselves into this cycle of sleeping the same amount every night. I usually work 48+ hours straight then sleep for 6-8 hours then work another two days + again this is how I am able to not have to hire a bunch more people like mike has.
The ground, which is limited. That’s why there is tanks across the country that have water being hauled to them. Not everywhere in Canada has sufficient groudwater
I invented a device to startle a person that starts to fall asleep. You just put earpods in that are connected to your ipad or phone etc…Whenever your heads starts to tip down the system senses that and triggers a loud vicious Karen that screams at you. Now, you can preprogram what Karen screams based on your needs. Or, it could be someone screaming “FIRE” in your ear repeatedly. Whatever it takes to wake your ass up. 😂😂😂😎
@@max-jc4wq yes Canada, my english its not very good and here in greece was not good year for durum wheat, the harvest done before a month and now are we waiting for a good price
So mike I am really confused about hou you use the line sharing method so would you plz explain to me how that works because I really can't wrap my head around it
I can't tell if you're joking or not but I hope you are. One thing to remember as Mike has said a few times "Farming comes before youtubing". So next time remember he has a job. Also, at least he is releasing some videos.
Instead of kicking the boxes around, how come you dont just break them down as you go and re palletize them? Im sure you can get a dicount if u send the boxes in. Ik a few companys that my company works with does this. Its easier for them instead of paying for all new cardboard, they can easily reuse them or recycle.
Might be good near the production plant But most people the cost transporting the boxes back out weights the cost of the box its self Amd most chemical company's don't what containers or boxes back because of the risk of cross contamination between products
@@fowletm1992 the company we use, is a chemical outfit. We save the boxes, they give us a discount to send those back. Not the jugs. Then they send them to there big supplyer. Then they send it back to the paper mill. Many companys work like that but people dont notice. We call it a dunage load
Does anyone know what the average pay is for someone who works on a farm in Canada? Do they get paid overtime? Be interesting to compare it to America.
He wouldn't be making any money then. It's impossible to have that much land and be organic and still be profitable... Weed pressure is no joke. Why waste the money on seeds just to have the plants over taken by weeds? Too much land to cultivate and cultivating doesn't work well with the spacing on air drills.
I'm finding myself fast forwarding through you videos to much lately. The gibberish is kind of wearing thin on me. And I can usually put up with a lot of gibberish.
Oh boy!... 😬 Perhaps it's because I pumped out so many videos.. I am trying to get back to 3 per week. But I will always maintain 2-3weeks back log - which is the window I need to have
I can now appreciate why you indicated you would like two separate systems on the sprayer trailer when you do an upgrade to better serve multiple sprayers
1300 acres per hour is impressive.
This is really nice to watch. You are on very smart man. Thank you for showing how you help to feed the world. Love your humor and attitude. So cool.
The daylight conditions at the 23:00 minute mark are one of my favorite times of the day.
Yes absolutely beautiful time of day!
Your guys operation is so cool. Look forward to sharing it with us everyday when I get done spraying myself. Thanks
Greeting from Australian
Mike this is where you need the double pump system on the dash you were talking about love your videos
The affects of a powernap is underestimated. They rock…😴😴😴
Great video give us some more like this.
You need to keep that railing to hang your pants from in case of a spill. 😉😂
When will you start using the air tractor spray plane and can you do an equipment tour including the planes
Mike sounds like a weatherman in the beginning of the video 😂
I do enjoy a few zzzzz in the afternoon...Greetings from Dundalk Ireland 🇮🇪.....
hi loving the vids you are amazing
I see now that the new deere sprayers have lights across the whole boom that would be kind of nice
Led light kits are available to fit most manufacturers these days
I think if you had a spike, you could puncture the bottom of the jugs once the foil top has been punctured, to let air in and the contents out much faster. Spike on a length of cord of course so it could not become loaded into the sprayer.
I was gonna say the same thing
No, just turn on the rinse as soon as the foil is pierce, the water flowing in will prevent the air lock
Great videos Mike
Morning
Lol I'm just like your wife in the nap department. But I never need them, and if I do take one I wake up more tired then before and I'm almost always in a horrible mood. At 31 almost 32 give me 3 to 4 hours of sleep and I'm up and gone. Especially if there's something I have have do
Great video Mike good luck spraying your lentils
Feel like we haven't seen frankels in a while🤔
Hello Mike 😅😴👍🇮🇹
If I were you I would want two systems on the sprayer trailer as well!
Mornings are the best part of the day!
Anyone who isn’t up before 6-7 may as well just stay in bed. 😂
i love your videos
So glad I’ve only got one sprayer and only use it 2 hours a week 🤣🤣🤣
Wouldn't it be more efficient and lower cost to have the chemical in totes instead of jugs?
Ha. I got a Fendt commercial that had Luke Bryan in it lol.
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
He knows where yorkton is
Sure was a beautiful sun rise 🌞
Mike, When filling the sprayer, does it have a auto shut off so you don't over fill the spray tank?
Love the video
Great Video 👍
Hey Mike
Will you be trying out a horsch leeb sprayer
Sweet
at least one time u use gloves for protection! keep up the good work!
Eh it’s herbicide. Ain’t gonna hurt ya.
What are you spraying?
Mike how about small hydraulic compactor / baler for the empty containers , cardboard and plastic could be done separate?
How did your lentils fair in this drought?
Any difference between the reds and large greens?
I dont think they planted any green lentils this year.
Hi, have you ever tried a hagie sts12 sprayer? Also it be wicked if you tried a Bateman rb55 as they would suit your fields brilliantly.
Why don't you guys have a water boy getting the loads ready so the sprayer can get back spraying faster.
He added the chemical while the sprayer was filling. Having somebody there really isn’t goin to speed anything up. And another guy on the payroll.
@@robo1210 true but they could still fill faster because water can load faster if they aren't going slow while they are filling chemical. Also I think they have extra guys so it wouldn't be more people on the pay roll.
@@max-jc4wq i think every of their guy is working.. and that minute extra would in no way be payed out
@@gijsvermuntagrifotografie Maybe but they have 5 sprayers and there is 9 of them but they also may be hauling water.
would turning the RINSE water on when you first stab the bottle kinda FORCE the muk out faster?>?? is it bottles in or ''fill to line'' kinda misxxsing you doin??
or would turning the water on that soon just ''waste water'' ie, it don't help as much with the RINSE cycle and no noticible time difference in EMPTY BOTTLE time...
wow... that was proollyt MIKESPEEK cuz it didn't eeven sound rite to ME!@ LOL HAHAHAHA
good morning all!!
Careful with the 24d that's what my grandfather's oncologist says his cancer probably came from! Carry on Sir you're doing a hell of a job!
Its actually 2-4D not 24d…
And hes using glyphosate not 2-4D if you watched his other videos
Mike what kind of GPS correction signal are you running on the sprayers? WAAS? RTK?
Are all the sprayers from you?
Nice video!
Hey Mike, it’s June whatever when this video was made…do you guys ever get to wear shorts 🩳 or get into your summer clothes. All you guys wear aid hoodies and jackets 🧥 come to South Georgia and defrost for a little while!! You guys need some warm weather!
It gets very warm in Saskatchewan in the summer. So far the the hottest has been 40°c
4pm. 4am. Toughest time to fight through for me
The last hour before sunrise hits hard
Have you guys ever tried having like a poker to stab a hole in the bottom of the containers when they are inside to speed the emptying process
By the way I love your work I’m from Australia so it’s great to see This stuff
Isn't it possible to buy the Assure in bulk so you don't have to handle so many jugs?
Hey Mike do you spray by plane this year again ?
It’s to early to use the plane. They will probable use it when the crop is bigger
Always enjoy your content Mike. I understand that your land is not 100% flat but why wouldn’t say a 160ft boom spray better accommodate your operation. Less swaths, less wheel tracks, less end of row turns, higher productivity, get home sooner.
700 hectars? Just realized Mike is farming fields bigger than a standard Farming Simulator map 😅
He has 50k acres i think
Powernap is a bandaid, not a solution to lack of sleep.
It's literally sleep... So yeah, it's definitely the solution to not sleep...
@@mikeznel6048 it’s like a light version of sleep
We've seen alot of your case sprayers but nothing on the deer. Any updates on that.
It belongs to his non UA-cam brother. Probably not going to see much about it.
Would it hurt the crops if you run 1 Line twice by mistake?
Iirc it depends on what your spraying
You might stunt your crops by doing that depending on chemical and rate.
I think the computer will prevent that mistake by shutting the pumps off. It will recognize it as a recorded line and the pump will disable itself.
I think he was referring to overlap from two or more sprayers, if they dont share coverage it will be sprayed twice.
Hey Mike....FYI; you do more for Saskatchewan than the rest of the whole Tourist Department. Just sayin'
👋😊👍
Must cost you a fortune in chemicals each year!
Wooww@Wayne Creek Land and Cattle Co.
Im guess around 3.5 million.

Please send prayers to Welker Farms. A huge amount of crop was lost due to hail damage.
The welkers are always praying, didn't save their crop ,maybe a little less playing might help
so where is the crop duster this year
There is no use using the crops duster yet because the crops aren't big enough yet.
Mike why don't you remove the rock piles during the winter season? that way you will be able to pass without any problem.
Winter generally means frozen ground so you can’t dig the rocks out. 🤷♂️
They have removed 100s and there are still 1000s of rock piles out there.
I am not sure if Mike said that or was some other UA-camr. Removing rock piles isn't a priority because usually, they have been there for generations. Turns out that oldtimers but rock piles over some huge rocks so when you remove the majority of rocks from a pile you find a huge rock that you can't move.
@@max-jc4wq Correct, that and they have much more important things needing to be done, such as equipment maintenance

Do you farm 40k acres?
More than 40k
Where do you get all the water?
The ground, which is limited. That’s why there is tanks across the country that have water being hauled to them. Not everywhere in Canada has sufficient groudwater

Saw something similar like 15 yrs ago. Sorry mate.
the news says that the average wheat production in kanada its goin to be 39% down why is that?
My guess would be heat/drought
I would guess the drought year and a lot of farmers and cutting wheat for cow food. Also did you Mean Canada.

Mike how do you pay your workers with all these weird hours?
I think as long as it stays dry, they will always use the ground rigs.
Probably just hourly salary..
Actually wouldn't it be faster and cheaper to use planes to spray at this point?
Planes are very limited to wind and temperatures, also you can't spray at night
