What went wrong with my first ever Corn Crop at planting time: REDEMPTION possibly? (5-6-24)

- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Where to begin...I made some mistakes that have really showed my lack of experience and rookie status. But with me trial by fire , it is now burnt into my mind on what not to do again. Not sure the weather will cooperate long enough for me to gain anymore ground, but we are going to give it a shot. If it doesn't work, then at least we are ready for next season!!

These two are amazing in all they do, thank you all!!
Good evening Mr Nelson!
Good evening Mr Gary!!! 😁😁
All of the issues you had happen to us all at one time or another, so don't sweat it Nelson.
Today was in the mid 70s instead of 86° like yesterday, that was pretty hard on me. I got twice as much done today as yesterday. I hope round 2 goes well for you. 😊👍
Really appreciate the encouragement Adam, I can't believe I didn't triple check or at least check spacing. I was more concerned with depth, but a valuable lesson learned! Thank you sir, I hope to try it this week between rain 😁 I know what you mean with the weather, sounds like you have been super busy!! Thank you again my friend for always being here!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽
Son, to stand on the office deck and look out over the fields and see green corn growing I just want to cry tears of joy for you 🥲🫶🏼. You have now seen your 3rd crop coming up 👏🏻👏🏻. You are farming !! Your dream is being realized and we are soo very proud of you 💓. Dont waste time worrying because each year you will per’fect more !! Just keep on keeping on 💓🙏🏼 .
It is a true blessing honestly, and don't mean to sound unappreciative at all, just aggravated at myself for not checking again. Farming, and the gambles are not easy at all, but boy have some amazing mentors and advice behind the scenes to keep me leveled 😁 I can't wait to see it get taller and be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor from tht farm office deck!! Dreams do come true!! Thank you so much , both of y'all for believing in me and ALL THE support and backing!! Love you both to pieces!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😁😁❤️🌽🌽🌾🌾
Awwww , yesterday was your Grandpa Pope’s Heavenly birthday #121 🥲. I’m sure he was smiling and saying “ well done my grandson”🥹🚜💓🙏🏼
That is just amazing!! I absolutely love it!! 😁😁❤️❤️
I look back at our first year on our homestead. Our garden was a MESS! We didn't know what we were getting into. The weeds..... Five years later and we're light years ahead of where we were. You need to look at this as a five year plan. Next year you'll be better and smarter. Within a few years, you'll be an expert. I'm glad you're not too discouraged. Learn from your mistakes and keep a journal of teachable moments and hints for next season. You're doing great Nelson! Cheers!
I tell ya Mr Rich it has been a wild ride trying to learn all the rules and keep my head afloat!! That journal is a great idea!! I do think that next year will be alot better , and easier to learn from!! You guys sure are leaps and bounds, you have a record garden!!! Thank you Mr Rich, I really appreciate you always being here!! Cheers my friend! 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🌽🌽
More corn planting is good. 👍 I saw rows of green corn plants growing. That's all that matters. A few little issues but think of all the experience you're gaining.
Mr Will with the deer having a feast, maybe the second batch will allow me to get some yields!! You did, I am blessed for sure that it's growing!! Yes sir, lessons and experience that will last a lifetime!!! Thank you very much sir for the encouragement and always being here, I really appreciate that!! I am behind but saw a video I think of yours posted , I need to go back!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸
The most important thing is to not get frustrated- its a learning process and everyone makes mistakes. One thing I have seen guys do is set the row marker so that you drive with one of the front tires on the line instead of trying to keep the center of the hood on the line. Maybe that will help. Looking forward to more field work!
That is so true Mr Chris and thank you for it!! I am always trial by fire, this one burnt but there is somw reason why I had leftover seed😉😁 That seems to be the huge debate in my mind now. I went with where it was set before, that out it just a tire width off from my front tire. So it was close, but had to keep it about 8 inches off. I am so up in the air about whether to adjust it exactly at the wheel or go with the middle. Sure was easier to see at the wheel last time 😉 Thank you my friend for all your support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! Got a little dirt turning coming Wednesday😉😉😁😁🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Good evening Nelson. I just got in from disking, hopefully I'll be planting next weekend.
Good evening Adam!! Heck yeah, that would be awesome!!! I hope it works just like that for you!! Fingers crossed I can this week too, the deer are killing my other already 😥 Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Keep me posted on progress!! 👍👍😁😁🌽🌽🌾🌱🌱
It’s impossible to compare to something you’ve never done before. It’ll be okay. Keep on going.
Very very true, learned a lot and going to try my best to redeem myself!! Thank you both for all the encouragement and support!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍😁😁😁🌽🌽🌽
Yes you are blessed my friend. Have a great week.
Beyond words Mr Louie!! Thank you so very much my friend, I really appreciate that!! I hope you do as well!!! 👍👍😁😁
Remember more corn in a drunk row lol
I'm telling ya, thank goodness you can see it from the road 🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Thank you Dylan for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍😁😁🌽🌽🌽
Glad you getting rain too. We’re good n green round here. There’s a couple folks a little behind on their planting because of all this rain. Don’t bee too hard on yourself just might be a blessing in disguise.
Yes sir Carl, I think my corn is ready for some sunshine and a few dry days!! It has been up and down here, seems if all the stars align then you are good, but any hiccups and you have to wait another week on some dry days 😳 Very very true, with all thtt deer damage already I think it was in the cards to plant another field!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all are well!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
Good evening Nelson. Shit happens you learn from the mistakes and move on you have crop growing many years in the making keep up the good work and keep plugging along
Good evening Ron!! That it sure does my friend!! I am blessed beyond words, and met a goal I set!! We can tweak a few things and try again!! Thank you my friend for all the great support and always being here!! I really appreciate that!! 😁😁🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
As far as being off on the row it helps to always go at an angle on your last pass. That way you don't pick up on another parallel line. You still might be alright on the population. On old planters just keep changing plates till you get the seed per foot you are needing.We used to run 71 Deere planters to plant cantalopes and water mellons and actually cut our own plates out of blanks to get the right spacing. Don't worry about your mistakes cause that is how you learn. Just don't forget them and change up for the next year. Been trying to get peanut and cotton land ready here in Ga. Managed to get 30 acres of cotton planted yesterday before being rained out. When I finished there was water standing in the middles! Phytogen cotton seed this year was 700 dollars and change a bag. I planted 5 bags yesterday. Had about about a pound or two left over. Took delivery of 1600 pounds of peanut seed too. Now if the rain will let up...
I need to let my OCD, square fields, and odd lines go out the window and plant what works best 😁 Thank you sir for the info, I hope according to the chart she is right now, or pretty close to what I am shooting for . I will get my markers set well and do the best I can this next time!! Thank you for the support on the mistakes, I have learned a lot since that day and attention to detail is the top priority...leave no stone unturned 😁
This rain is just unreal lately, I'm glad you got some ground planted at least!! Those down pours can really mess up daily plans!! Oh my goodness, that seed is unreal!!! 😳😳😳 I have always been intrigued with peanuts and cotton, I need to do more research on them to learn more. Always talk to the wife about that stuff on our way to the coast. Thank you Mr Johnny for all your great help and advice!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Good luck and prayers for dry days to get your crops in!!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
Evening Nelson
Funny thing about population, it all depends on the soil you have. We don't grow corn, but with everything else, we plant a lot more pounds per acre than a lot of the country. Because the soil and moisture we get, will make more grow. I just saw a video this morning, guy talking about 75# of oats per acre. For us that's way short! We shoot for 125#.
You'll figure it out and do a good job 👍😎
Good evening Ed, yes sir that what I have been reading. I was gonna shoot for about 4-6k less than most around here due to virgin ground, and inputs. Sure mis-counted those sprockets 🤦🏻♂️ Had I paid more attention to spacing as I did depth I could have caught it earlier. But valuable lessons learned!! I can see exactly what you mean on the weather y'all have!! Thank you very much for the kind words and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
If you have left over seed, might as well plant it since you have the available ground. Oh, and great shot of Jack.
Exactly what I was thinking Mr Matt, might as well!! Especially now since the deer have had a field day with what has emerged!! Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Jack has felt left out so I figured it was time 😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌽
We all live and learn
Good luck my man
That we do, that we do!! Thank you very much for the kind words and always being here!! I hope to redeem myself 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽
Trial by fire Nelson, keep on keeping on my friend, this is just a bump in the road. Take care and have a blessed week.
Amen to that Mr Tony, I am good at that trial by fire 😁 Yes sir, slight setback, but I think it's all a greater plan!! Thank you sir for all the support and always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope you are doing well and have a blessed week Also 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🙏🏻🙏🏻
Let's turn some dirt and plant some more corn... The more you learn this year, the better it will be next year.....Good to see old Jack make a appearance...Thanks Nelson.
That's exactly what we decided to do Mr Brent and hopefully Wednesday will be the second attempt 😉😁 He has really been stressed not getting in the videos lately 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣 Thank you very much Mr Brent, I really appreciate you always being here and the great advice!! Hope things are well your way sir!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸
The way to learn is with experience, the way to get experience is to just keep doing it. It'll be fine.
Very good advice Mr Pete, that's the whole reason for a second attempt. Can't hurt to have a little more seat time😁 Thank you very much sir for always being here and the great advice!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mistakes are part of the process, and most are not caught for days after you do something
That is true, this was a two part. Taught me to be better prepared before hitting the Field, and what to really check once there!! Maybe I can get another few seeds in this week and give the deer a better selection of munchies 🤬🤬🤬 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
Well Nelson, that’s how we learn and I’m sure next season will be much better and yeah, would love for you to bring us along when you do testing or plowing or anything take care and God bless my friend
They are penciled down in the book of what not to do Mike 🤣🤦🏻♂️ I may be able to redeem myself this week, fingers crossed!! Thank you again for all your support and input!! I did get a little footage of the next round of tillage 😉 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not really a mistake…….. just a happy accident, you planted corn and it’s growing! Carry on.
Never leave any stone un-turned and be BETTER PREPARED ahead of time is the best plan for the Future. Wasted time means wasted energy in the wrong direction. A really good friend of mine has told me that for years now 😁 I am so blessed to see it growing, I can do it..now to listen more and greater detail!! Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate!! Hope things have been well, mis the stories !! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
Don't worry my friend, mistakes makes a person a specialist over time, great video my friend
I sure am soaking up the lessons Mr Jan, best way honestly for me to learn the whys and why nots 😁 Thank you very much sir for the kind words and ALL your support!! I really appreciate that, and you always being here!! 👍👍😁😁😁
For your first time out planting corn I honestly don't think you're doing a bad job. Always a learning curve to something new. Especially when using old equipment. I know that I would love to get some equipment together, but have a bunch of tree's to cut down for firewood or logs first. I pray that this winter I can sell what firewood I have and start a new pile or stack of firewood.
Thank you very much my friend! It sure has been a learning curve for sure!! I think I may have the bugs worked out and hopefully get a try again this week!! I know the feeling on the trees and things to clear!! Man yeah, maybe you can sell out and pocket some good money for your wood and logs!! Thank you James for always being here, I really appreciate that!! You have stuck it out with me a long time, that really means a lot my friend!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
Foolproof comes with a price Nelson
The planters running around here right now monitor everything and leave little to no room for error.
Costs hundreds of thousands of dollars though!
I know one thing…
it is bed, bath, and beyond my budget!!!
Boy I can see how a mistake like this could really effect the bottoms line in huge operations!! Boy does it ever, but lessons learned here for sure!! Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
As long as your learning, that’s all that matters. Those who don’t learn, don’t make it. You’re gonna be fine. Look forward to see it head high🙃
Thank you very much sir, I have sure have got my work cut out for me!! But I am really enjoying the journey!! I really appreciate the motivation and support!! Also for you always being here!! Hope things are going well!! 😁😁👍😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
Jack made it. It's a trail by fire won't be last mistake if your luck like mine. Course if it turns off dry may be a good thing. Just a suggestion maybe run planter on driveway see how dropping seeds may give better idea before hitting the field?
He always seems to find his way in the videos 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣 Gosh I think I have the worst luck ever Gordon, trial by fire you know it!! That is EXACTLY what I should have done already before ever planting!! I readjusted the sprockets and she is pretty close now for sure!! You are a scholar my friend , and thank you for all the advice and support!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 👍👍😁😁🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's a learning curve. If it was easy everyone would do it. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
This is very very true Mr John!! I really appreciate your support and always being here, thank you for that sir!! 😁😁👍👍
Farmers work is never done.
Mr Tom, that is such a real scenario I am seeing first hand!! Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope y'all haven't had to many bad storms up your way!! 🙏🏻😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar We have gotten a lot of rain. I think the bushes and trees have double in size over the past week.
@hilltopmachineworks2131 Wow, some say around me close they have had 7-8 inches recently. I know what you mean on the growth, I think my little corn says enough...it needs some sunshine 😁😁😁
Mistakes are an opportunity to learn. I don't have a planter as fancy as yours. But it pretty much works the same as yours. You have to have the right gears in place for the crop you are planting.
That they are Mr Robert, that they are!! I sure learned a lot already!! Yes sir, I should have made a better count. I think the sprockets were right, I just read which shaft they were on wrong 🤦🏻♂️ Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! I hope to put a little more in this week!! 🤞🤞🙏🏻😁👍🌽🌽🇺🇸
Crooked rows... Oh well. My neighbor used to plant a perfectly square field and end up with point rows on the one edge so I wouldn't worry about it. We're you able to put in a little sweet corn or?
It's a huge learning curve, and and least my fields are hidden, although here I go putting it on YT 🤣🤣🤣 I think I may can do better on the second go round. I wasn't, but boy I think I will next year. I have had lots ask me about that! But I am gonna have to figure this deer thing out, they are destroying what few acres I have to plant 🤬😥 Thank you my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽
Don't beat yourself up. Mistakes, and malfunctions happen.
Up here we talk in growing days. I could be wrong, but I think you have time.
I'm glad to see Jack.
Thank you Nelson.
Thank you Mr Bryce, I sure learned what needs to really be checked , before and during planting!! The deer are eating me alive, so we are getting ready to try more. Alot say we have until June, so I am gonna try!! Thank you sir, I thought you might enjoy seeing Jack!! I really appreciate you always being here, thank you sir!! 😁😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽
@@Pennies_on_the_dollarI’m still planting 98 day corn for at least another five or six days so considering you’re quite a bit south you’ve got plenty of time
@TheGrumpyFarmer Thank you Andy, that sure helps out!! I hope to get it in the field this week!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽
I was up and at it at 5:30 this morning and just got in at 9 and I still show up to your videos earlier than you do mine you slacker 🤣🤣
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I saw you were in the fields, and still made it here....boy I sure do have the SUPER SLACKER crown from now on 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for that Andy, I really appreciate you and always being here!! Hope you continue to have some descent weather!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌽
Learning experiences happen...we've all done it. The most embarrassing mistakes are usually the ones that we remember the best. I've seen a couple good videos on here about calibrating planters, Oliver66FarmBoy did one with his Oliver 540 planter, the process should be pretty much the same for your 543 if you need it. Basically, put seed in the planter go out in the driveway, set the planter down and drive forward. For 38 inch rows, measure out 13 feet 9 inches of what you drove forward, and pick up the seeds in that distance and count them. Multiply the number of seeds by 1000 and that is your population per acre. Trial and error to get as close as you can.
I did some checking to try to figure out why I had so much seed left when I got done drilling. The biggest reason is that there is less ground there than I thought. I still missed a little bit, but not as bad as I originally thought. I'll do a video on that sometime soonish...
I hope the weather cooperates so you can get some more planted. How late can you plant corn in NC? I think around here, the second week of June is about it, any later and it won't have time to dry down before winter. I talked to a friend who farms for real this morning, he said he has one day of soybeans left, and he is really excited to be finished planting before Memorial Day.
Thanks for another great video, Nelson! I hope you have a good one, my friend!
That they do Evan, and yes sir it will be one I will never forget. I seem to remember him doing a video on that, I need to go back and watch it!! Thank you very much for that valuable info and I think I will do just that this week to double check the sprockets according to the charts.
That is one thing I splurged on was an accurate GPS way back so I would know what I was up against with inputs. Not that it did me any good really 🤣🤣🤣 Except realizing I had more seed than I should have had left with my goal population. The ole 543 did pretty well, hard to tell if I had many skips, with all the crow action and that closing wheel dragging 😥 But I can't complain it's growing, although the deer are mowing it as quickly as it grows...we have a corn crop!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think I have heard June 15th around here, I said when I decided to plant more I needed to shoot for June 1st. If things hold steady, I hope to put the rest in this week. Got the ground worked before all the rains, and thankfully it drains pretty well. We have three days in the upper 80's so gonna shoot hard!! ( I'm spoiling future videos ) 🤣🤣🤣
From what I have heard this year has been a wild one, alot for the weather guessers to be more wrong than ever!! I am blessed and so proud to see green corn growing!! If the deer and crows will leave it alone I hope to have a crop to harvest this fall!!
I can't say thank you enough for all your support my friend , and always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁🌽🌽🇺🇸👍👍 I hope you have a great week and thank you for the cultipacker video 😁😁
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar Darn deer. I used the NRCS soil survey web site, so there is still probably some error because you're mapping the field from a satellite photo, but it's at least somewhat close. It showed I have 6.6 acres there, I was figuring from 7.5. It's all shaped weird so it's hard to get a good idea. I should have been a weather guesser, but I'd have to be on the radio because I don't have a face for TV lol!
@@evanaustin2636 I still would love to get one of those onsite mapping systems for the tractor as well, but not in the budget! I think I was close , for the most part....but get this, I still budgeted for 2 more acres than I actually had when setting money aside. I tell ya Evan my mind is a scary place some days!! The deer are crazy bad had no idea until the corn popped out 😳😳 Isn't that the truth, the only job to get wrong daily and still call it a career. I do believe there is a higher power at work, and you know the reason for the odd weather 😉 Thank you again Evan!! I really enjoy the conversation!!!!
If it turns off dry you may be good with a low population. Are you gonna mold board or just chisel?
That's what I have heard, all this is so new to me it's such a learning curve!! I had no idea the deer damage was going to be so bad, I have no idea how much I will even have left after they have there way with it 🤬🤬 I decided to chisel plow, those chunks of sod were going to be hard enough, especially since my little offset disk is broken at the moment. Fingers crossed it happens this week for the last of planting 🤞 Thank you Russ for all your advice and support!! Also for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽🌽
Well that's how we learn. Your definitely not the first person to get the population wrong. Make the adjustments and try again. Good luck with corn planting #2.
That is so true Mr Monty, I think a mistake nI won't be making in the future!! It's not quite as bad as I thought, but the low population is allowing more deer to feast!! 🤬🤬 She is ready in the shed waiting, hopefully this week my friend!! Thank you sir for the encouragement and always being here!! I really appreciate that 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸 Hope you have a great week Mr Monty!!
💩happens to all of us 😂. At least you've got some more ground to plant, gotta love playing in the dirt. Good luck 👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
I'm telling ya, I am a poster child for greenhorn status this year 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes sir, we did that today thank goodness!! I love it, can't wait to see what next year brings!! Thank you very much my friend for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🌾🌾🌱🌱🍻🍻🍻🍻
I wouldn't be too concerned about it especially when you have more ground to plant. Live and learn right? Like you say, won't make those mistakes again. You remember those. Crooked rows? I was always told that there is just more corn in them. Ha ha. At least the corn is up and growing and not still in the bag or under water. You will be fine.
Thank you very much for the words and inspiration!! Yes sir, that is a true blessing to have it growing and not still behind. I think I am more mad at letting something so simple to change, fall between the cracks. But with the deer population eating it as fast as it grows, then it might have been a blessing to be able to plant more!! Thank you very much , and I have been told that about crooked rows...at least it's not by the road 🤣🤣👍👍 Thank you again for being here and really appreciate the comment 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌽
Oops that was 16000 pounds of peanuts...
😳😳😳😳😳 My goodness, I can even imagine 😳😳😳
I wouldn't worry about not having straight rows, you have corn growing! Nice to find another patch to plant some more corn. Were you able to change the population before you planted the last patch?🌽🌽🌽🌽👍🚜🚜🌱🌾👨🌾🛻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am going to see how I do this time, if they are crooked...then I will have to have more seat time 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I honestly think the population thing was a blessing, because I hadn't intentionally planned to plant over there this season. I forgot I spread lime there last fall,and the hay paid for fertilizer 😉 I did get it changed, according to the book and chart, it should be right for sure now!! I hope to plant the other Wednesday of this week. Right after the tillage (future video) the skies opened up. We have been dry since Saturday, so hopefully it will be good to go then!! Fingers crossed, because the deer are eating all the other as fast as it grows 🤬🤬 Thank you sir for always being here, I really appreciate that!! Hope things are well your way, seems I watched a recent video ...hope I commented 🧐🤔🤔 My apologies, I will go check 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽🌾🌾🌱🌱🚜🚜🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar I'm way behind on watching videos and commenting on my own. I'll get caught up one of these days.
No worries my way, your hands are full for sure 😉😁
First time I ever planted corn I turned around a corner and tweaked a fertilizer opener so it was right on the row and had 150 acres with 2 rows missing mostly because it was the outside row😆 I don't turn sharp with the planter anymore and got the opener 4 inches off the row instead of 2 like all the experts tell ya to do🤣
Oh my it sounds like you have had you share of mishaps too. I probably would have broken it completely off knowing my luck 😳😳 Thank you my friend for the story, I enjoy hearing those!! Also thank you for being here, not sure we have spoken but thank you and hope to see ya again!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽

Your looking at the population thing all wrong. It's not a mess up its a test plot to see what population does best in your ground lol😂. I love seeing the corn coming up and I can see the pride when your talking about it all, good job my friend give your self a pat on the back. And get that seed in the ground lol😂
"It's not a mess up it's a test plot" 🤣🤣 I'm going to use that somewhere
Dang it Tim, I knew I should have talked to you before now...test plot I am gonna go with that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am truly blessed my friend, it has been a road but boy I finally have corn growing!!

And for always being here!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽 Hope things are going good your way!!
I knew I should have talked to him first Evan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@evanaustin2636 😆 we've allways gotta find the bright side of the situation other wise life can be pretty dismal at times lol. But I've had a couple "test plots" in my farming adventures too 😆
@Pennies_on_the_dollar 😆 I've had a couple test plots in my day too my friend. It's when the population is too high when you've really got to worry. With the lighter population you should end up with huge ears and still a decent yield. And if I'm being dead honest you never know what's going to work best in your ground. My mistakes are what gave me the population I use today. I was going for 32000 and I planted 36000 on a 12 acre patch one year. I ended up cultivating more vigorously to get down to the 32000 range and I ended up with less weeds and right around 32000 population and my highest yiels to that point. I think you nailed it on the head when you said everything happens for a reason. Time will tell us why you planted it at that population I'm sure of it. Every thing is going on my end..... it's been one break after another this year. My welder has paid for itself again this spring for sure. I'm starting to feel like I owe it money acually 😆. I got all my organic planted just yesterday, I'm waiting on more manure for the 50 acres of transitional ground. And I picked up another 10 acres that was crp for 30 years. Trying to clear that out and make it farmable. And while it rains we're over hauling the big 7060 as it fried a pitson while I was plowing 🤦♂️ and I've got a custom job set up for the weed zapper asap, 160 acres at $75 an acre and my tractor is apart in the garage 🤦♂️ so just one stress after another my friend. Just a normal planting season really 😆 🤣 😂
👍👍
Thank you Mr Tom, and for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🌽🌽
The only failure is if you stop 🛑 trying. The rest are what I call limited successes. That’s how I learn … from my mistakes. Im from West Virginia so ya got to show me ‘twicet’ as I hold up three fingers.
🤣😂🤣

@@Pennies_on_the_dollar Thanks. 😅
it's okay I have papers saying I'm not crazy. The psychiatrist that gave me the papers can't even say that.😅🤣😂
@@Fatamus 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate that you show everything, even the screwups!! However, that might not be as big of an error as it might seem. I don't know what your planted population ended up being but I have read and been told that the conventional corn varieties are really just recycled genetics from the 90's and 2000's. I think in those days people planted lower populations than what the modern genetics are bred for so you might still have a decent crop. I would absolutely plant the rest of the corn you got.. Also speaking of tubes... one out of three tubes I mess with these days goes bad.. I know I haven't forgot how to mount tires so I really don't think the quality is there anymore even if you get the "good" tubes. I try to go tubeless every chance I get now..Take care...
Thank you very much Mr Russ ,trial by fire with me, good bad and ugly !! 😁😁 I have read a lot since I realized that mistake, and it's ironic that I have heard that same thing 😉 I still think I have alot to learn , and the ground needs numerous inputs to be really productive. But I am keeping my fingers crossed regardless!! I am gonna do that exact thing tomorrow 😉😉🤞🤞 I haven't had much trouble with the tubes u til recently but boy they have gone to crap!! I think I may just head towards that tubeless route myself!! Thank you Mr Russ for all the motivation and kind words my friend!! And for always being here, I really appreciate that!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🌽🌽
do you plant that hybrid 85 corn?? how do you like it???
I did for the first time, can't complain as of yet. Not that I have much to compare it too, but came up well and seems to be very tasty to the deer 🤬🤬. Thank you sir for being here, I hope to see you again!! 😁😁👍👍
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
