seems like the crop is coming up good, thats good news. seems like you have so good moisture in the ground. however, today is june 28, and this vid is a month old. the temps today are in the 30+c. i hope all the crops got a good enough start to deal with nasty heat you are getting now. we are all rooting for you mike!
Do you have a computer program of each field as well as History planting date in healed. Also do you buy ahead of time your chemicals etc. Chemicals went to the roof price was down here. Thanks for your time
Hey Mike, rock question. Did that field not need to be rolled or had all those rocks worked there way out of the ground after being rolled? Love the videos so much I stopped watching them at work on my phone and now stream them to the 70" TV when I get home so I can enjoy seeing the countryside. Thanks!
I'm guessing since its durum they didn't roll it since the header wont be as close to the ground as if they were combing lentils. Usually how it works in my area but we also don't have a ton of rocks
@@stealthybanana8751 Nailed it! Durum grows heads at the very top of the plant like wheat or barley so you don´t need to drag headers. Lentils grow their fruit all the way down the plant so you need to drag to get them all. That being said, we plant a wheat variety that only grows like knee high at best. So we´re also almost dragging headers.
At Agritechnica 2019 John Deere showed their concept of drone-spotting and -spraying weeds that come in patches like thistles. Is this something that would work for Mike's farm and is jd even demoing it yet?
Crops going down hill fast here in the PNW, Palouse area! Several days of 100 plus and the 2 week forecast is for plus 90's. I have had less than half inch rain since April 1st. Still praying for rain but it doesn't look good here!
How is the rain fall level Wyoming ranch has no rain no pasture ,limited, and no hay Second yearn a row with no hay and they have 5,000 acres and 100 plus cows
we don't want thunderstorms, to much rain in a little time, our land can not handle that.. and we grow potatoes and sugarbeets and onions, just not the same ground as where you are farming.
Like mike said in an earlyer video on sprayers there is section control wich does prevent most overlapping with sparying also since the 2000 there are much less chemicals being used in faming the most really harmfull chemicals have been banned by regulations. And some other innovations that are coming up are spot spraying by sensors that see the weeds and spray them on the spot but this technologie is just in its start of development so it will take some time bevore that is avable to get
@@boerke123 Hmmm, I am a farmer and I also own a vineyard. %40 of weeds in New Zealand vineyards are Glyphosate resistant Glyphosate rates rocketed after 2000, from several hundred thousand tonnes to over 3 million.We started applying in some cases 6 litres a hectare twice a year to try and control these weeds. I use sheep for my weed control now. and spot spray difficult weeds. If you look at sandy soils West Australia you will find lots of Resistant issues. NZ Italian Rye is nearly impossible to kill with normal Glyphosate rates. We are now looking at bans for seed treatment chemicals ( we supply Europe) and a complete Organophosphate ban, this is going force me to change systems. www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2020/03/19/glyphosate-contamination-global-hotspots-in-world-first-map.html
@@kenhofer8063 You don't understand, the problems are residuals build up act as growth suppressant and resistant weeds, I have to use higher rates and more expensive chemicals every few years, it's getting expensive as well as unsustainable, nothing to do with poisoning customers thats a whole different story. My beef operation doesn't have an issue, I don't need to spray pasture. We are now trapped on this merry go round, something is going to break.
even at only 2 litres of glyphosate an acre it's two tonnes on ever 1000 acres, if you have sandy soils you will get a residual effect soon enough. i know a grower arount me who does contract work too, he orders 100 tons of Roundup pa. Jeremy Clarkson's farm in UK, 1000 acres, 32k on Fert 24k £ on chemicals. We have to find a better way.
It adds nitrogen actually. Go look at a patch of grass that got hit by lightning a week or so after a spring storm and it will be much greener then the rest.
Canadian and American farmers are spraying at much higher speeds than most Europeans and so it may be more difficult to be accurate to the edge of the field
Don’t accept a degraded resource people….. if your land can’t infiltrate a quick hard rain from a thunderstorm, that is 100% your fault. All the bad symptoms that modern day farmers experience with their ground, including weed pressure, compaction, wind and water erosion, low fertility, salinity, the list goes on, that is completely your fault. All symptoms of a degraded resource cause by the farmers harmful practices that continually destroy soil life and function. I’m so sick of hearing big Ag guys speak for all farmers, they are not farming this earth correctly, they are simply mining it. Regenerative Ag FTW!!! Get that carbon and organic matter back in the soil where it belongs…!
I appreciate your concern and opinion about Ag, thankyou 🙂 So please, continue to speak on Ag, soil, salinity, wind, trees, weed pressure, organic matter, soil compaction, tillage, sub soiling, gophers, grass hoppers, cut worms, wire worms, saw fly's, ascocyta, flee beetles, Canadian gease damage, badger damage, 40C heat with 70km winds and baseball hail in my area.. Please.. I am all ears
Ok, so let’s do it all natural form the beginning of time. Weeds overtake all the crops and destroy them completely, or make a low yield. Now, the farmers go out of business because they can’t make enough money to run a business. Now you can’t go to the store and buy your food. Then YOU start complaining that farmers need to do better. Your going to whine and complain no matter what, so go away
@@mikemitchell2554 oh my goodness, I had a very large reply with as good an explanation I could give for all these symptoms, but I lost it as I copied something in a text message from my brother. I’ll do my best to get it all typed back in. Gimme time
@@realredditstories420 you’ll have to tell that to the regenerative farm movement. And also come tell that to my crops who grow without much weed pressure on top of healthy soils with little to no added fertility. And almost zero herbicides and absolutely no fungicides or insecticides and also zero seed treatments.
Damn there are a lot of rocks in those fields. Looks like you can't take a step without stepping on a rock.

Enough duct tape and willpower... mike can be the camera mount.
I thoroughly enjoyed your crop inspection and what you spray to control the weeds, thank you look forward to the next video.
Glad to see you are getting rain, I was praying that you would.
Thank you for the weed tour. Gosh you can spot those small weeds, but I guess when you know what you are looking for you can find it.
Hey mike Congratulations on the seeding you did awesome this season
I looks like there are a few volunteer rocks growing. Lol. Thanks for the awesome videos!!!
Great Crop Spraying Video, very informational and detailed, Very good Coverage of a interesting topic, thanks
Here in the Netherlands the crops grow like hell,thanks to warm weather and enough of rain.
Yes but the weeds grow just as fast
Grow like that everywhere if the weather is good...
Northern europe.. Haven't had rain in weeks. Only showers here n there.. Struggling right now.. 😔
If I'm right, farmers use a tons of manure too there.
@@7rixee Here by Mike it’s a heat wave now, almost 40 all week. In BC it’s almost 50, it might break the all time record in Canada.

I could definitely watch more videos like this.It's an interesting subject!
Another good teaching video
Great awesome video mike,
102 yesterday,11 percent humidity. Can't irrigate enough right now. Great vid
Man look at all those rocks in the field. Crops look good
Super cool mike an very informative thank you
Very interesting video thanks
Your crops are looking very good considering the dry conditions when you were planting. You take care.
Hey mike. Hope you are doing well today. Great videos!😃👍
good to be early and watching mike's videos ;D
Modern farmer, checking from a truck.😉
You definitely have a good crop of rocks 🤣😂
You sure enough know the deal here what you do this year can affect you in different ways down the road a very good video.
Mike grand video👍😜🇮🇹
You have dirty boots on in your truck Mike! 😉
Why howdy Mike, hope ur well and all is good😃😄
18:25 in grains/canola just spray it with lontrel it will get all twisted by the next day :)

@@mikemitchell2554 so true 😂 the amount of land you farm it would take a couple lifetimes to get them all
Mike do you ever chem farrow Leave a piece of land open and then spray it heavy in the summer a couple times
Mike said once that they didn't.
8” of snow…. May 24th….. 1 month later record heatwave…..
You need to see if you can get your new Hagia sprayer STS16 from what I heard you can go 20 miles an hour spraying
How about boots in general Flintstone 😁
I think you need a "dead kitten" for that mike...
Hey hope you are doing great
hey mike! What do you think of the fendt 1167 mt?
I never realised the cost of spraying, even at $8 an acre the cost is frightening. 🙁
That’s if you spray your own. You get custom guys in that cost goes to $20 $25 an acre
@@twistedsteelDK blimey, that’s crazy, no wonder farmers struggle when crops are bad.

You need a spray for rocks!
Ha! Thats a good field 😂
Mike how are the crops looking now and have you had any more rain
Chilly in May is hard to believe being in South Carolina. Yuk
👍👍
More sensors on the drill to prevent plugged spots, me good god please no more sensors.

How is the rain fall level
Wyoming ranch has no rain no pasture ,limited, and no hay Second yearn a row with no hay and they have 5,000 acres and 100 plus cows
Is that the good kind, 8 bucks?
Mike do you use drones as well to crop check?
Crit roaad is the same as cravel road,🤔
Mike do you plant any gmo crops?
Mike I have a question. At $22.00 an acre does that mean you could spend $ 880,000.00 just on weeds.
Pretty easy
@@mikemitchell2554 Expensive little devils 😁
Mike Canada thistle isn't that the same as the european thistle? LOL it sure looks the same
here in canada are there many rules around GMO for our food crops??
no ray grass?
Do you own all these fields, harvesters and tractors? Pls reply
They own a lot of fields but they lease combines and fields as well
we don't want thunderstorms, to much rain in a little time, our land can not handle that.. and we grow potatoes and sugarbeets and onions, just not the same ground as where you are farming.
I told you before that you should have a pair of rubber boots.
I sometimes wonder what kind of chemical do you use compared to us in middle EU. And if there is some that is banned here for years.
Hey Mike do get your chemical from your Co-op or are you getting it somewhere else. Like FBN ?
Coop, Pioneer, Nutrien, or some other place like that. FBN is new to western Canada so most guys don't use it yet
