Patrick - Excellent, educational video. Will the peanuts from this special seed be for production and sale or will it be for "seed"? If grown for "seed", will the crop be sold back to the gentleman in the cab that you had the discussion with?
Hopefully the new hybrid can help with TSW and LSK. Biggest help seen in the Carolinas was more twin row planters and double inoculated with dry on the seed and liquid in furrow with calcium. Those crustbusters are the ticket! Shoup hopper extensions will save your back a little in a days time as well. Many blessings this year to you and the family!!
These farmers that only grow cotton and corn have no idea what a workout planting peanuts gives you. We had a field here in Southeast Alabama fill up on each end of the field. I hate planting peanuts, but I sure love plowing them up and picking them.
Good eye. I explained it in the first peanut planting video of the season. I used this tractor to pull the Lemken Kompactor implement to level and smooth down the plowed peanut ground. Because the ground was freshly plowed for peanut production I didn’t want to compact it back down, so I removed all the extra weight. I listed out how many pounds I took off the tractor in that video.
@@PatrickShivers I figured it had something to do with ground compaction because I remember you run the old JD to pull the cultivator because it weighs less. I guess corn seed are less sensitive to ground compaction than peanut seed maybe.
@@captainhic the corn ground also isn’t plowed. After plowing peanut ground it’s like riding across a big sponge. Typically great effort is put into keeping peanut ground soft b/c it is a root crop (so it needs soft ground for ease of growth) and so they can be dug easier at harvest. The weights usually never come off the plant tractor, it’s also the main tillage tractor. I removed them b/c while running that narrow Lemken (that was to much for the JD 4960 to pick up/pull) and then planting afterwards I would basically have put tracks (pressure) on most the ground and lost the benefit of plowing so I made the tractor as light as possible
There are no hybrid or GMO peanuts. This variety, and all others, are a cross of two different parent varieties. Not considered hybrids b/c they reproduce true to seed. Hybrids don’t produce seed (or offspring) the same as themselves.
Congratulations on getting to try out the new seed! It sounds like this will be a good one to save for next year of planting. Not sure how long it takes to develop a new variety. But it sounds like old varieties. Could be made new again. That was some Bust Ass He man work! Hats off to you and your fellow farmers!!
Check out 5:04 in the video just before this one (planting butterbeans potatoes and peanuts). Very similar scene with added 4960 turning around in background
@@paullhommedieu2795 I think there was one at that DeMott auction in Iron City. Only open station 7000 series 2 wheel drive I’ve ever seen in person. I don’t know where one is currently. I’d check tractorhouse and machineryfinder

They are for sale, not for seed.
Dim sum sho nuff dead "nuts" straight turn rows. Pun intended. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.
Thanks for the pun and for watching Byron.

My dad use to run the extensions. I’m going to have to have some before next season. Mile long rows where next year’s nuts are going.

Great that you were able to get the new seed. I'll be interested during harvest what your thoughts are when comparing them to your other peanuts.
It looks like you're farming on the surface of Mars.
South Georgia red clay. It is harder to work than most soils, but it holds water and nutrients better than most soils.
Welcome to Jawga (Georgia)
I will be following this test plot as I raise o6g in Peach and Houston county’s. Thank you for the effort
Thanks for watching. It is irrigated clay ground. Bottom plowed 1’ deep in February.
We experienced a great deal of leaf spot last year on our o6g acerage.
My O6G graded the same as 12Y (not good) and yielded far less than the 12Y
Hey yo no weights on the tractor planting P nuts. But in the corn planting video you had wheel weights and front weights on. What the deal?

Are tifgaurd variety peanuts still on the market?
There are 2 TifNV varieties on the market. Most suppliers have 06G predominantly and 12y by request
@@PatrickShivers o ok thanks for the response
Is this new peanut a hybrid developed from other peanuts, or is it a hybrid GMO?
There are no hybrid or GMO peanuts. This variety, and all others, are a cross of two different parent varieties. Not considered hybrids b/c they reproduce true to seed. Hybrids don’t produce seed (or offspring) the same as themselves.
@@PatrickShiversHow much "true" seed do yall plant? As far as say peas, corn and such.
@@darryladams519 corn is the only hybrid. All my soybeans and half my corn are GMO.
Is the new seed smaller than the o6g?
Maybe by a frog hair
Hello, Patrick! An experienced farmer develops a natural guidance system. Blessed rain!
Congratulations on getting to try out the new seed! It sounds like this will be a good one to save for next year of planting.
Not sure how long it takes to develop a new variety. But it sounds like old varieties. Could be made new again.
That was some Bust Ass He man work! Hats off to you and your fellow farmers!!
Going to be interesting to see the difference between the crops. And I don't blame ya. I'd take a lot of pride in my turn rows as well.
Master planter. Looking good Patrick. Love your channel for the diversity of the farming you do. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you
I prefer Planters dry roasted....lol
I like the Cajun Boil one myself!
Go Patrick. Taters and all were excellent.
Hustling to get it in before the rain. Bessings to farmers.
Definitely would be nice to have a seed tender.
That John Deere looking good against the sky when you were loading the planter! Hard working man here!
There was a similar shot last week with the 4960 turning around in the background. My cousin said it looked like an oil painting.
Always good to be on the cutting edge! Good content! Take care...
Thanks Gator
Mann that's great explaining on ur rows u explain farming well. U need to be in a farming class room my rows are crooked all ways lol
Old timers always told me there is more seed (higher yield) in a crooked row.
I have to remember that lol
Enjoyed the video Patrick
Thanks Greg
Is that new variety supposed to yeild higher than the 06Gs?
Yes
@PatrickShivers Im excited to see how they preform and yeild vs the 06Gs!
11:34 is an insane thumbnail

Wow that's some red soil! Is it very productive?
Red clay holds water and nutrients far better than most soils.
@@PatrickShivers hey I'm looking for a 7710 2 wheel drive open station. You know of any? Thanks paul
