  • Using nostalgic equipment to farm nostalgic land. I prepare the ground of the original Jamison homestead quarter of land for seeding of spring Soft White Wheat. Check out the farming practices that would have been very common on the Palouse in the mid 1970s, except we are still using them today.

    Excellent piece of equipment! Paid off and easy to service. Built to last and doesn't cost a fortune to repair. Also a welding umbrella is awesome for shade. Also, I recommend a 3M or similar closed face filtration headset. You can listen to music and breath filtered air and not have dust in your eyes....

    A few around us are running 450-600hp quad tracks, pulling the same set ups.. all in the hills.
    Needless to say, they plant at 10mph++ we do good to pull the hills at 4mph, maybe average 6mph.. been too wet here, but hopefully get in the field soon!!

    We encountered a bunch of welding rod remnants in the seed it cost me a day and 1/2 of time.. my dad worked a deal and sent us some of their soybeans to try.

    My dad started farming near Reardan, WA in fall 1983. We planted in fall with an old D4 but it was quite worn. He bought an Allis-Chalmers HD6 after planting season and used it until 1988 or '89. That's when he bought a Massey Fergusun 1805 quadwheel tractor and it greatly sped things up. In fact, it was the first time anything faster than a crawler tractor worked the land since ground was broken before turn of the century. Because of that, alot of rocks were turned up in one of our 3 fields when he first ran the cultivator thru with that tractor. We spent alot of time picking rocks out of that 80+ acre field. There's nothing like the farming life and I miss it.

    Anyone still ripping, ploughing or harrowing may as well claim to be farming in the 8th Century. Regenerative Agriculture, once understood and implemented reduces costs and improves yields when: the entire local Ecosystem is also in place (predators for the pests have a refuge), No Till, Armour and diversity (cover crops, multi-species), some animal impact, continuous roots in the ground making space for sequestered rainfall. IOW the good old days were mostly hard graft, drought and pest infestations.
