    Frost seeding spring grains is very common in ontario. Head out to the field about 10pm and plant until sunrise. The frost carries the equipment over soft ground allowing you to get planted nice and early. Crop development before the worst of the summer heat and humidity is the benefit..

      I can recall my father picking corn on frosty ground early mornings. Later in the day it got too muddy to operate. But we managed to get the crop out.// Works both ways I guess.

      Damn. Here in western CO they haven’t even planted corn yet. Rule of thumb around here is if you have knee high corn by the 4th of July you’ve got a good crop going. We’re fortunate to have irrigation though.

    Thanks for all the work and effort you put into your channel just for our entertainment. And that a lot of work on top of everything else you do. I know I’m not the only one who appreciates it.

    But it seems to be wanted in the factory.

    Hi Mike...a bit unrelated to this video but still, just an idea. Is it possible to get some sort of a marker or something like that on your mapping? That way you could just mark a spot on the map if you see any big rocks and simply look at the map when you go rock picking and be sure to pick them up. Same with sprayers and harvesters mapping
