That carpenter 🐝 is probably Tim's dad checking in to make sure that he's planting that corn right.
I agree with many others here - I’d love to see a couple more visits out there to see the progress. Great content Tim!
I agree 👍
100% agree. I just want to see the progress and watch how well they keep up with cultivation.
Same here! Great video in any case.
jack
Would be great to see
Hope you go back in the fall to pick corn with the two row picker. That will be fun!
Your dad would never be disappointed in you. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing the stand.
I see you use the best in digital technology to determine planting depth.
I'm new to farming videos and this is the perfect series to teach us newbies the way and to highlight tractors and farming equipment. I sure would like to see more videos on the progress of this cornfield, the maintenance, the harvest, and the yield... (As well as the tractors and farm implements and such). :) Nice video series!
Hey Doug! We have lots of videos showing not only our sweet corn planting and growing approach, but also some larger ag videos from the family farm.
Please note that I don’t agree with the open pollinated corn approach.
This is what I and many other homesteaders enjoy, it’s all about being self sustaining
Iinno
Keep us posted on the progress of the corn and how they harvest it. It will be interesting to see how well it turns out.
i loved the virtual expereince of planting on a small plot
Once again, I would like to give a shout out to Christy for her video work! Those drone shots, even close to the ground, just make it so much more enjoyable to watch. And her skills at knowing how to frame the shots and zoom in and out are the best. GREAT work, Christy!
To get an accurate count of plants per acre, wait for the seeds to germinate, measure 14' 7', and count all the plants in the row between the marks. On 36" rows 14' 7" is 1/1000 of an acre, and multiply by 1000 to get plants per acre.
Good job, before GPS the big thing was to cruise the roads to look at the neighbor’s corn rows to see who had the straightest rows. On the other hand my Grandpa always said you can get more corn in a crooked row. Great memories!
*** I wheelie liked the video! 🤣😂
Thanks for the real world video content and not editing out mishaps.
I learn something from a seed corn farmer, that if you water when it is pollinating you can save almost as much money in drying the corn as the cost of irrigation. The thing about seed corn farming is that you can not leave the corn out if your going to have a hard frost (more than 2 hours below freezing). So the have a lot more drying time to get the moisture content down.
On non-seed corn if you let it freeze the moisture will lower faster after a hard freeze.
Fantastic equipment for the home-size farmer. Great job and even rows.
Hi Jim just wanted you to know how much I appreciate how you talk about your dad obviously Meant a great deal to you I can appreciate that because my dad died on Father’s Day 2019 and I miss him dearly so I understand
For weed control, I would love to see a propane burner mounted on the tractor. I use a handheld one in my small garden. It works great. I would think it would complement the land owner's all natural approach too. Great video!
Interesting! I have never heard of this for weed control. How do you keep from burning the plants while burning the weeds?
Great job on keeping the rows straight Tim. I like that planter!
Your farming is coming back very well Tim. You adjusted the feed almost perfectly!
Good video. I enjoyed it.
That planter looks good all hooked up to Johnny
Wow! Back in that day I remember cultivating the corn fields for my Grandfather on a John Deere A tractor. Two row corn picking in late fall while it was snowing. And shelling corn for the next season. Work was non stop, every day. What a wakeup! Thanks for the video. Best wishes.
Idk anything about farming & will never be a farmer but I do like knowing a little about a lot so your vids are really a great educational tool.
That planter is heavy! I wouldn’t have thought it was that heavy!
This has been a really interesting couple videos on this topic. Looking forward to seeing how the harvest turns out!
Hey Cash! Great to hear from you!
It’s awesome to see examples that you can still accomplish a lot with what you got. Your videos show how useful the John Deere 1 series tractor can be.
It’s amazing what you can learn when watching something you enjoy. If I was in a classroom, I wouldn’t retain any of that information. Great video guys. Great camera work too!
Good stuff. I had to replant my corn. That wet, cold spell we got a few weeks ago killed my seeds. I replanted about a week ago and haven't had any rain since. Always an interesting year in hobby farming.
Same with me.
Neat! I'm always interested in the small scale farming stuff. Will look forward to hearing how this turns out!
I said a little prayer to keep disease and bugs away from that crop and for it to flourish. Good video
My dad was always disappointed when I didn’t get that gene for his love of gardening. His knowledge of raising a garden is probably why I’m alive today. My grand dad raised corn to feed cattle when I was just a young boy. It’s good to know these methods are still be cultivated…….
Very interesting thanks Tim regards from N Ireland .
One nice thing with 18,000 population we end up having a dry year that may help the corn not dry up as fast it might grow better that way or should I say stress out
I love those old 7000 planters. Even cut up into pieces they are still better than anything else that doesn't require obscene amounts of HP and $$.
indians plant the 3 sisters, beans and pumpkin and corn, the pumpkin shades the ground, the corn makes a pole for the beans to climb, and the beans give nitrogen to the corn.
This is great Tim. If you have time I would be interested on seeing how Rich's corn field is doing from time to time. Very interesting video. Thanks.
I look forward to seeing the follow up video on how this project turns out.
Nicely done. I'm impressed with how well you held you row straight. I might have to upgrade my #71 Deere 1 row planter. Take care, Jason
Love the loading of the tractor! Thanks for info on corn.
You should have put a skip row every few rows so they can drive in the rows. It helps them when they pick the corn. And sweet corn likes spacing, it doesn’t want to be planted tight together like field corn
Another great corn planting video! Loved the thumbnail! 😁👍
*Keep on tractoring!*
Tim Christi and friend this is some of the thought of how much and what kind went into farming in in40s and 50s
God Bless All
PaK
You did great with little Johnny getting in the corn. Now you need to plant some beans, that way with the pumpkins he'll have the 3 sisters.
...I see a GARDEN FULL OF SWEET CORN real REALL REALLLLY SWEET SWEET CORN yummmmm!!! :)
When we planted our garden(s), my parents, both sets of grand parents, we used a single row planter but it was a "push type". Meaning you yourself could push it and plant with it. Only, we used small chains and mounted it to the rear of our garden tractor, our rows were planted identical to yours. Followed the tire tracks from 1 row to the next. I'd love to get a 4 row for my 4710 JD.
1 acre is 66' x 660' just for future reference. Great video, cheers :)
I love the Bible verse. And all that you do. Back in my teens and 20s dad work his garden.
I really don’t think GPS could have made the rows any straighter! Good job Tim.
You just have to love planting season....love these types of videos👌
It's going to be interesting, seeing how that corn turns out, without adding any fertilizer. On a side note, when I was a kid, I remember my grandpa always used the same corn each year, saving out the best ears for seed corn. We lost that seed in a flood one year
Great video. Be safe. God bless you.
Great video!!!!
Two row planting means the tires should be adjusted. We had a row wide and changed to 8 row narrow which changed tire width. One row is the max on that one. Rows were for the mules to go down. Funny we haven't changed. You can get more seeds in a crooked row! 😁
Great video
ok, going tomorrow to my local john deere dealer to see what they can help me with. hopefully they great buying programs.
Hey Tim, I know in another video you said you lay down some 46 before tilling and planting. How often to you side dress the corn during growing and what do you use? Thank you.
Tim, maybe you could start your own RTK business for compact utility tractors and call it B(ee)PS... when I was a kid on the farm in Alabama, we planted our corn in 38" rows because that was the row spacing for cotton and the planter was already setup that way and my dad wanted the white OP corn 8 inches apart in the row so we would shoot for 20 to 21 thousand plants per acre. We planted up to 5 acres that we pulled by hand in the ear and would crush it for cow feed and use some to make corn mill. There was still an operating grist mill in our community up until the late 1980's. Great video and I would love to see the progress of this plot throughout the year.
Interesting video, I too am curious to see how the corn and the operation works out. I’m guessing we’ll see some follow up. Blessings.
Dad started on a farm at birth. He said that they would plant two rows of sweet corn and the rest in feed or field corn. He then went on saying they ate early field corn as it was ready sooner and it was still soft and nice. As the field corn aged on the stock they switched back to sweet corn. He plowed with a 4 horse (Morgans) plow. It would be really good to know if a cup of seed or a pound or half pound - to the number of rows or length.
What you’re thinking of with the gmos is they use a tool called a gene gun, typically the desired gene like the roundup ready trait, is coated in gold, and they use helium to inject it into the cell wall of the plant. Pretty neat process.
That single row planter makes that easygoing.
Good video looking forward to see how the corn grows
the other advantage of open pollinated corn is : it will over years adapt to your soil and climate, so saveing it each year gets better, but to save it you need seed from over 200 different plants otherwise you get inbreeding. also, if you grow sweetcorn and a neighbor grows maize / dent / or popcorn, you will get a mix of that,
Another awesome video Tim!
Well done Sir !
Great video Tim.
I see you Tim popping a wheelie in the thumbnail 😂😂 next you’ll be popping wheelies on Johnny 5 lol keep up the hard work Tim
Just some ideas for next year, personally I'd do a minimum of 2 acres and rotate one acre of corn the other into clover and keep switching. he could still graze the clover once it's mature, also I'd buy a non GMO seed and plant a minimum of 28k seeds per acre, it will help shade the weeds out faster and has higher yield potential. Overall it was a fun video
I always get a kick out of seeing those enormous planters heading to someone's farm that Vaughn Bauer builds. Makes me think of all those farmers putting the corn flakes in my cereal bowl.
Hi Tim an Christie thanks for the video have a day love from TEXAS
I really enjoyed this video!
It would be really cool to see a follow up video of how the crops do that you plant.
You can get more corn in a crooked row! 😂
Great Video Tim & Christie! I liked the wheelie at the end...Lol
Tim, I agree with you on the GMO seeds that I think that its two steps backwards as well. I too won't get into the debate here.
Great thumbnail. My wife would say, “That’s the last time you’ll be doing that!” :)
I want to see some corn growing! 🌽
We had an old horse drawn 2 row planter i believe gramps made it into a 3pt unit and we didnt need markers same as you. Tire to tire. I loved to ride on the planter seat and at the ends dad did full brake turns in 2nd gear low throttle
I would like to hear more about the planter itself. Can you still get a 1 or 2 row planter
You talking to me, Ray?
My neighbor used to say if all the rows are straight your due to break something for sure.
Behold the faith of a farmer. "Is this all works out we say thank you Lord
I'm old enough to remember what trying to farm without herbicides was like.
Good luck!
BTW, if someone could have found a good use for cockleburs and giant foxtail, farmers back then would have been richer than oil producers! 😁
Tim you need to check out tractorpartsasap they make a funnel insert for the seed box that helps every last kernel get down to the meter. I have a two row John Deere 7200 planter that I use for sunflowers the inserts made a huge difference and they are relatively inexpensive. part number 117465
Love the videos keep them coming
That’s a badass trailer Tim! 😉
Thanks! Love it. bwisemfg.com
Tim, I think you dad would have thought you could have cut straighter rows, but I don't think he would have ever been disappointed in you.
There was a man that lived near me years ago he had a theory on rows. He always said you can get more seed in a crooked row than you can in a straight row. But there's always something that will interfere with the planter and bump it over slightly so you can have a bump out.
Wow! I never saw a single (double ? ) row planter before
Should you run talc in the seed too to help keep things lubricated? I know farmers use it in their planters.
Actually that is a finger unit, they use graphite to lubricate.
I grow everything heirloom/open pollinated. Don't have a huge issue with hybrids except that companies can literally patent food which to me is a little scary to give them power that god/nature gave us for free.
Also as the video said, you can save seeds year over year and after many years of doing this, you are selecting for the plants that grow the BEST for your soil/climate or specific needs. That is how heirloom varieties were created. Families kept seed lines going for their own purposes and over a many decades they perfected certain kinds of plants. Its awesome! Hybrids are fine for some things but not for the things I think are most important.
Would of liked to been there with you to run old iron against new iron. I have and use my grandfather's 62 Ford 4000 and a 50something Ford 12-88 two row planter. Many acres of sweet corn have been planted with it. Maybe next year we can get together on a project and tear jp some ground.
How much does that planter weigh? Those front weights are your best friend for sure
I was always told growing up that you get more corn in a crooked row than a straight row
My grandpa always said you get more in a crooked row
I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
Thanks Gary!
Fascinating to see corn planted by someone who knows how. P.S. did you ever download the new software from GE/Café to add air frying capability to your range
Dad always said, you can plant more corn in a crooked row 🤔
I hope I can share a link. I was watching an old video and part of this video has discussion about “greasy” vs “greazy” and it made me think of you.
ua-cam.com/video/_8ZNnlYvXw0/v-deo.html
Pretty sure you'd need to know how many seeds in the bag to be able to figure population per acre to plant at. That's how I do it anyways.
Hello tim I finally got my 1025r i am in aust it would be great if you could talk deere with us in aust God bless regards shayno
Was impressed in how straight you were able to maintain it. Probably would have been easier if you would have brought your harrow or if it would have been last worked inline with the rows. Didn't see any seed trench digging to confirm depth and spacing???
The bee probably has made a home in the tractor.
No, the bees were ‘thick’ on his shed there. This one just took a liking to me for some reason.
Carpenter bees will sting it you run. I was raised around them and my wife (who I told to move slowly) got scared and ran and it nailed her in the back. When I had my own place all buildings are metal.
Tim I try to hit between 34,000 and 36,000 population but in my case I fertilize enough to produce 300 bushels per acre but in reality I hope to grow between 230 and 250 bushels per acre. I actually try to put 300 actual units of nitrogen so that figures out to be 1 unit per bushel available under perfect growing conditions. It seems to me that 18,000 population is really low but then I don't know the available nutrients in the soil where you are.
…but this is old open pollinated corn. I though they used to plant it much lower population?
