Thanks Mike for jumping in and out of tractor showing us all the differences about rolling and not rolling the amount of time you you tube’s spend filming things is much appreciated 😊🇦🇺❤️👍
I always wondered where the rolled oats that I make oatmeal with comes from. Now I know! 🤣
Thank you for your clear and extensive explanations !
Now I know where rolled oats come from! Thanks Mike
Thanks for taking the time to share your options with us.
You´re by far the best agriculture channel on YT! Is always good to learn with you even not being a farmer (maybe next life LOL) Cheers
Jeez! I've never seen a roller that big in England. Impressive. Love the way you explain everything on this channel.
I agree, biggest one I've used is 12 meters. About half as big 🤣
Mike this was one of your best teaching videos and I felt informative. Just wishing You Two nothing but the best!
so this is why they are called rolled oats in the shop😂
thanks for the video love how much you explain what you are doing and why
Crops are looking great for what you started with. Thank you for being a farmer we need all our farmers right now.
But just right now 😂
Hey Mike - 5" of rain in a year back on the south farm. . . . thats one big drought !!!!! surprized the crop get to grow and mature.
Thanks for explaining the roller function. I've seen them around, and have always been curious about their purpose.
Man as always love the video...I don't know how you are not on podcasts everywhere! I would love to hear the not pg version of Mike! 😂😂.
Thank you for the Training and instructions! I will be doing this myself some day I will have my Father’s Ranch here in Washington State North of Seattle. I will be Farming someday. I’m a Fisherman in The Tulalip Tribe! (Band in Canada 😏❤️) I love living here there’s the Sea and Mountains and Cities and Farming! Everywhere! God Bless you for teaching us a lot of useful things! 🤓❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸
Looks like the oats have been tillering very well..
Well Mike if you could pull a big tank of water with a burner on it and you could make steam you could spray that on the oats and you'd have steam rolled oats
Watching you try to unfold that roller definitely makes me glad we have a Ritwway roller
Mike you analyzes is very good.......THX
Rolling when it’s out the ground helps it tiller 👍🏻
Great video Mike
You answered my question Mik thanks
The three leaf sprit of oats/wheat/barley thickens the root bed. This creates a thicker growing bed with further stems, producing more crop.
"Rolled Oats" may become your new breakfast of choice thus saving you extra trips to the grocery store which also would save on fuel costs 🤣🍜😂
Classic Dad joke! Bob Welker would be so happy with you! 😏❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸
Wow dude This is the first time I've ever seen anyone rolling feel like I'm watching farm simulator lol God I wish I could farm And you use my favorite tractor of all time
I love your videos mike😊
We roll most of cereal crops in the spring. It helps to grow a stronger crop because u knockt once the plant over and it develops a stronger plant. Usualy u gad a bit a bigger yield but its not much stronger plant.
My flat roller is just that middle section 🤣 and dad thought that was big
And remember to put the hitch remote in float!!
great video looks like a good crop for you
Rolling helps it stool out, in Australia hay crops are often rolled twice.
Amazing 💪
Rolling it at this stage,also helps to get more tillers out of a plant
Mike, you are suppose to sow your oats!!🤣
Rubber tyred rollers are popular in Victoria Australia.
Man, those mosquitos! Seems like they are trying to take the camera away from you, buddy 😅
Keep the excellent videos coming 👍
That’s all open, get in the trees.. like by leoville we used to go camping at this one lake it’s really popular now, but no one knew about it when we started camping there. We used to have to fog the bush, then you’d sometimes still need a mosquito tent.. bugs can be TERRIBLE in Northern Saskatchewan.
Well it’s definitely a wetter year here this year we’re about two hours from u there and a lot of rain compared to the last four yearsish haha but thankful for it
18:00 You need a flex roler. hahahaha
With all the moisture at the north farm hopefully the rocks are easier to push into the ground
Ever thought about using Frontline for the ticks 😃
Have you ever thought of putting a spray bar on the land roller to spray herbicide and kill weeds and roll in one pass? I guess usually you roll before weeds are up. But it might work in this situation. Or to add some thiosol fertilizer
If you roll the crop at the right stage it will actually stool out and come back thicker.
they see me rollin
Mike I have a question. For the grass that you did Pro-Till, could you spray it less than the stuff you didn't?
Now on your 2nd season up north, are you rethinking the two location, risk mitigation strategy? Is too much water a better fight than always dry?
You should talk to the local Animal rescue about getting some Opossum dropped off there for release. They destroy all Ticks! Fast! And they won’t harm anything Farming! Only beneficial! God Blessed us with everything we need to live! Opossum are part of the plan! God Bless you with safety Brother Mike we love you! ❤️😌🖖🏼
Thats why it's called rolled oats. :P
Were you actually able to take in Ag In Motion as previously planned ?
If so what were the highlights and will there be a video to follow
Mike do you guys have end caps on each roller to add water = weight to the rollers?
We broadcast oats now. Never rolled anything in my life.
Mike, I think you were smart to prep the land first, before seeding. Being your first time on that land, not knowing what it was like, it wouldn’t have been good if you had snagged an opener on a deadhead you couldn’t see, because it was covered with grass. I also get a lot of satisfaction seeing the row by row progress. I’m very visually stimulated. I love seeing flatbed loads of skid steers…all in a line on a trailer; or other repetitive items, etc. I also love seeing the dirt turning over from a plow, or smoothing from a harrow, etc. patterns…I love them!
speaking of rain you haven’t shown us the new dugout on the north farm is it full of water
Catching up mike? We already pulled out the combines in southern Alberta and will be using them in around 3 weeks or less.
Maybe the rollers will mash some of the ticks!
the degelman also is heavy. those riteways are light, thin materials yo
Morning
Hi Mike, I have heard from a farmer that when you hit a cereal crop in it's early growth stage and slightly damage the main stem, the crop get more "sidearms" next to the main plant. So if you can provide enough water + fertilizer for the whole plant, you should get a bigger yield.
That's usually why farmers around here roll it when it's young
In Europe farmers using farrows for that. The Best effects are in winter wheat or rye. Harrow is also pulling out a lot of weeds, wheat is growing new stems and usually plant is healtier than normal. There is a theory that this can strees plant a bit so is better prepared for some events down the season. And this is very old tactic from times when there wast any chemicals for weeds.
so that's how you get rolled oats :P
I would like to ask viewers to pop over to "Ivers Farms" and offer their CONDOLENCES as this multi generational family recently suffered a "MAJOR LOSS" where a wife, mother and grandmother was killed in a tragic automobile accident.
This loss will be big hit to a very tight family farming business.
Mike what do u get for a bushel of oats?
Got a question Mike. Is there a bit of land in between the North and South farms that might get the right amount of rain or has someone built a city on it already?
Lol..there is land all over in between
Did you get with Hall and Oates prior to this?
What’s the distance between the North and South fields
Question for you Mike will you look into putting tile into the water runs to help dry them out ?
steve avis Tiling is not popular in western Canada because no where really to move water to.
why triples on one side of the tractor and double on the other? just for roading purpose. thanks
Mosquitos that are bad out in the open in the sun. Must be really bad in the trees and at dawn and dusk. Flies likely also bad.
Wow! That field operation you did, I just don't know of anything good about driving over a thriving stand of a crop of anything and squishing it down to the ground. No wonder what few guys I know of that left Iowa and went to Canada have gone broke farming in Canada :).
Some of the big farms around here have rolled their wheat at about 3 to 4 leaf stage..supposed to help tiller better...
Mike I wonder if this makes the oat more durable after getting beat up?. Your sound effects are something.
The tires on that thing are beefy! And.. is rust a bad problem on those rollers? I’m surprised they don’t have some kind of coating … and I reckon stainless rollers would cost a fortune.
Why do you have to ROLL the oats ?
I’ve always wondered what rolled oats were, now I still don’t get it
Mike do you hunt those big mulelys up there?
Mike you may consider teaching agriculture someday in a second life. Lol!
Been pretty quiet on what’s happening in Europe and coming soon to Canada. What’s your take ?
Hi Mike or anyone from Canada is there anybody that rolls crops with Cambridge/ring roolers up there
Nope
nope never even heard of it.
Where’s the piece of equipment that’s all pros and no cons?! That’s what I’m waiting for! I’d buy two of them.
Can any of you farmers tell me what grain prices are doing? That’s not something I keep up with. Are they good,bad? I’m a little worried about Mike’s bottom line.😊If he has a decent crop will he be able to make a decent amount of money?
You can find up to date Europe's prices by searching for matif, they list prices in Euro / 1000 kg. Now it's 330 euro for wheat, but Mike probably gets a lot lower price due to transport cost
Hi Mike
Would it be possible to do an update on your tree shelterbelt plantings at both your farms? Thanks
OATS .... You will need storage or a truck fleet to the elevator
Yes. They really yield with the new varieties. Them problems are fun!!!!!
Plus weed control for next year.
Oats are an amazing crop. Hardy, well yielding and have so many different use cases.
Trying to figure out why u roll ur oats
Mike are the rollers to mash stones in ground as a rule. Thanks
Primarily for sealing in moisture but also helps knock stones back down to reduce potential damage to other equipment
How much does it take to dent or break a roller Mike?
Impossible to dent the roller. It’s 3/8” thick steel. It is not heavy enough itself to dent the steel.
can a john deere 6820 pull this ?
Mike I have never grown any oats before, but I thought you harvested them like you do wheat or rice and get just the heads only and not skim the ground like you do when harvesting soybeans. Is that right ? Just wondering why you are worried about the rocks if you’re not going to hit them with the combine 👍
It is harvest like normal wheat barley canola...
Nobody ever wants to take a chance of putting a big rock thru the combine. A few years ago you could maybe lease or rent on while waiting for parts. Now because of covid dealers have no new or used ones in stock.
Grain can fall over like long grass, in that case you will need to put the header very low above ground to harvest it, then you can hit rocks ect
You forgot to put the hitch in float
I would love to drive a 9620.
Hey Mike, is it raining? Lol
Why don't you plant corn if you get so mutch rain
You said you tested your rolling did you have a control were you did not roll
What is the reason for rolling the oat crop?
10:45
What length is that roller in transit? 😳
About 40-ish feet in tow including the hitch
😀😆🤣🙂🙃😆
Mike, why do you use a roll, here in South America we don´t do that.
Thanks
You better pray for a very long fall for the north farm. I bet those crops not ready till late August or mid September.
It's my b day
on the main farm 5 inches of rain every year is a good year? did i understand this correctly? only 127mm rain for a whole year, how is it possible for anything to grow
I know right...here that's one month...
great vid you should get the new John Deere 9rx 640
but don't you break the plant off??
Mike the real reason you are rolling it kills fleas. Lmao
mike what do you think about Trudeau’s decision to attempt to reduce nitrogen emissions from fertilizer.
Trudeau doesn't know what a farmer is or where his food comes from... So it's no surprise that he's pulling numbers out of the air without any research or consultation with farmers and/or farm groups. He would just say what is written for him and that is: "we are following the science" - which of course he has done no scientific research on... What an embarrassment 🤣🤦🏻♂️
@@mikemitchell2554 Keep up the hard work Mike we need more farmers like you.
Ooops, think I forgot to say morning.
