At 70 I just watch and listen and it's like a warm memory turning into living pictures again as my 1st 23 yrs of life unfold with my Dad being the farmer. So much of what he did I see you doing. 😃Thankyou again for just being you and to make it even more poignant Tyler is my mother's maiden name so, my maternal grparents name, from England to NZ where mother was born. And yes, that tractor time is prime thinking and planning time , for sure. ALONE in Alaska swears by the baking soda method for culling rodents, it works wonders for her. Looking forward to big results for you too. Cheers mate, from an Aussie Nan, in the Land Down Under. 🇦🇺🤗💞👌👍✌️👏✝️🇺🇸
I love your channel! I can only imagine the time it takes you to make a video…all of the different camera angles…wow. But it is noted and appreciated. Thank you!❤❤❤
I was amazed the first time I saw a dog, who never once had encountered a rodent in his life, instinctively hear or smell one and catch a snack. Our year old miniature Schnauzer was in the back yard tending to business. Sniffing along the fence line where the deep snow covered the long grass beneath, he suddenly stopped. Cocking his head left and right a few times, let me know that something was going on. Then to my surprise, just like a coyote in a Nat Geo video, Cody pounced. Paws first through the snow into what turned out to be a winter rodent tunnel. Not sure at the moment what was going on I raced outside to find him happily chewing up a successful hunt. If you really want to see how effective dogs can be hunting rats and mice, there are several UK YT channels that use a variety of terriers to clear farms of rodents. Those little dogs weren't bred for centuries to be someone's lap pet.
❤ yes , your right about that. New Jersey n Florida have a program for feral cats. Because there is so many, they are cought, fixed, and released in warehouses to catch rodents. The owners are loving this program, Im sure there are other states doing it as well.
Looks like you got the ground work done in time for the storm. The cattle are looking good and were clearly not all that excited about a new bale. Another great day on the ranch.
The scourge of acid reflux in the rodent community has always weighed heavily on my mind, and I'm glad you are doing your small part to address this national concern.
I saw the recommendation of 1:1 ratio of baking soda and Jiffy corn muffin/bread mix somewhere. I liked the idea because it's not poisoning the rodents who may be picked up by a bald eagle and fed to the eaglets, if not dinner for themselves. I saw some evidence of it being eaten, but I must have had more rats than I thought because I still occasionally see them. Time to mix up many more batches? Yes.
I saw farmers from Asian and Arab/north african youtube channels feeding (putting some in the main feed) baking soda to help cattle gain weight, increase milk production and as a supplement mineral apparently it is good for their digestive system. This are old farming civilisation and they've been doing that for centuries.
It will be interesting to see the results of FTR no till/ low till test plot. In addition to the time savings on field prep, I would think the fuel savings would also be a factor. I really like these kind of real world tests !
1 liter = 0.264 gal. Hope your soda mix helps clear the rodent problem. Good to see the rain fall. Had our first snow flurries in sw Indiana this morning. Have a great day.
Potato flakes (dry), beside a bowl of water works well for rodents. The flakes grow exponentially when the rodent drinks the water. No way to excrete the potatoes and thus die.
Great episode. 1 gallon = 3.7854 liters. Field looks great. I’d like to suggest rescuing some fixed female short haired cats. Have a great rest of your week
Such a privilege to look over your fence at what you are doing as I’m eating my breakfast. After I’ve been down to check the calves I weaned yesterday. I’m surprised you couldn’t hear the bellowing (all the way from Aus). The electric dividing fence - 3 wires instead of the usual one - is holding well. But they’re NOT happy. I hope they settle as quickly as yours did!
You are absolutely loving that tractor. You have it for a year if I remember right. I wonder if you’re thinking seriously considering buying it. You’re going to miss it when it’s gone.
When I see the machinery working like that, I can’t help but think how much technology has shifted our labor on the land . . . What was once a farmer behind mules, oxen, horses work on the yoke, is now streamlined with tractors, floaters & discs . . . Wow 🤩 we love the cab on that tractor!!
Let the mix set for a while. It's gonna take a little time for them to find it, and they may need a few feedings to get enough. It will work if you just let it sit. Within a week or two, you will notice less and less activity.
Good morning FTR. I used mash potato flakes next to a bowl of water. We see ferral cats from time to time but i believe birds of pray pick them off. I dont want to encourage cats to cone up to house as my dogs will kill them. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you fir sharing very important info. I learn so much from your videos. Bye from Texas.
Many years ago, we pulled a disk a float and a cultipacker together. It was like pulling a train due to length but one pass and we were ready to plant.
The baking soda might work. I never did try it, but I've been told that crumbled Alka Seltzer kills birds fast. A lot of people think these conversations are mean.Not if you are a producer. Rodents destroy a lot of feed, which costs a lot of money. As always I enjoy all your videos. A lot of videos I skip through. Not yours. Always interesting. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family
We’ve been doing no till without a drill in your neighborhood for about eight years. We used to use the same grain mix you use but it likes to be covered so we switched to ryegrass which starts easier. We don’t mow it because the winter storms take the stubble down. A couple of years ago we had to disk part of it for gopher control and it sure hurt our yield in that section. The first couple of years the yield was a little lighter but over time it has improved and the soil seems a lot better. It sure takes a lot less time and diesel. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss what we have learned in detail.
Thank you for explaining floating the field. I grew up on a farm but we has row crops. I basically understood why you were floating the field but never seen it before. My dad used a no till drill for cover crops.
You should be able to change liters per hour to gallons per hour. Somewhere in settings. Support or an FAQ should be able to tell you where to make the change.
We had a local custom hay guy who had a notill drill about an hour south of you back in the 90’s early 2000’s it worked ok putting the three way into old alfalfa stands, doing just a field of three way it really didn’t pencil out on irrigated fields. If you go back to how the massive dryland wheat and barley ranches operated in the Sacramento San Joaquin valley before the current intensive process in the 1800’s they would run a weed knife less than a few inches below the surface with a roller in tow. They would do this in the summer to keep the water hogging weeds from depleting the moisture. The other thing about this process is by breaking up the very surface and rolling it back down and filling in the cracks you would stop the capillary movement of water up to the surface saving that moisture for the next winters grain crop.
A liter is 1000 CC's or milliliters, just a little bigger than a quart. Comes to 3.78 liters to a US gallon. Not bad for an American, once you get used to it. Also, that works out to a liter of diesel weighs about 1.8 pounds, rather than about 6.8 pounds per gallon. Diesel is a bit heavier than gasoline, but a lot lighter than water. Hope this helps.
I stated using the baking soda and jiffy cornbread mix in my shed 1/1. I can see tracks in it and mouse droppings in it and its going down, but never saw a dead mouse. jury still out
Love how the cows get their face time in lol. We has mice in the pole barn bad. Put out the backing soda and Jiffy Corn muffin mix 50/50 in snack bags made a small hole in the bags. Like magic two weeks no mice. Good luck with it. Talk to LS dealer maybe you can do a demo with one of their no till drills . Sonne Farms does a lot of that. Give Cole A call see how to go about it. ❤️🙏🏼🧢
Just check to see how you are making out with all the rain. My son lives a bit north of you in Redding. Earlier today his rain gauge registered 9”. Hopefully it isn’t a problem for you.
As you Americans call a milk jug a gallon of milk we call it a 4 liter of milk. Or your 5 gallon gas can is our 20 liters give or take a little. Could try a cover crop and spread seed and then crimp the cover crop to hold in moisture. I wonder if millet would grow in your off season, people always say millet will grow on a rock, maybe they'll grow during a California summer?
I am a fan off your channel, when I heard your comment about the amount of time you spend on field work, 24 hours is really not that much considering the amount of reward (feed) you get each year. Have you considered increasing the size of the float system, seems somewhat small behind that tractor. Also, I noticed that it is raining and saw the water coming off the roof, have you considered putting up gutters to divert the water from the area in which the cattle walk, stand? The reason I really like your channel is that you make do with what you have instead of buying everything new!!
When I am hooking stuff like the roller up I get close then use a ratchet strap to pull it into position. A hard battle all alone, I found this to work well.
That LS tractor sure is getting a workout since you got it and it looks like it doesnt struggle at all doing the jobs , iv heard the baking soda works good on rodents - hope it works out for you 👍🇺🇸
Tyler that ground is very hard. I would imagine if you went no till your yields will keep dipping. That ground needs to breathe. Soil test and figure out what is going on then make a decision on where to go. I would love to help you if you would like to learn some more about dirt. God bless you
I know you’re just demoing that LS, but I wish we could crowd fund you to be able to purchase it outright. You deserve it!

You are so funny. Love hearing your plans and why you are always thinking of better ways to care for your family and animals😊
Also check with your local animal control. Many of them have a barn cat program and adoptions are usually free. Cats come spayed or neutered.
I think he had a lead on some feral kittens, maybe they aren't big enough yet to come to his farm.
❤ yes , your right about that. New Jersey n Florida have a program for feral cats. Because there is so many, they are cought, fixed, and released in warehouses to catch rodents. The owners are loving this program, Im sure there are other states doing it as well.
Please make sure you give de-wormers regularly to cats that are catching rodents, and give any veterinary care as needed.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!! HELPS THEM, HELPS YOU!
Looks like you got the ground work done in time for the storm. The cattle are looking good and were clearly not all that excited about a new bale. Another great day on the ranch.

😂😂😂😂
🙌🏼🤣🤣🤣
Always thinking and are like the old TV show Macgyver. Both great compliments to all at FTR.
Each time I watch his videos, if he is fixing or making something, I think of MacGyver 😊

Thanks for sharing farmer Tyler ranch I enjoyed the video
I see you're keeping that new tractor nice and shiny, great video Tyler

This are old farming civilisation and they've been doing that for centuries.
Especially effective for acidosis. Always eager to have your postings come up. Thanks!

I enjoy the 10:30 attention to detail you take with the hay field. This will be my third hay season as a fan.
How sweet. Nursing thru the fence😊
Where there a will, there is a way! Haha! Hello from Idaho
1 liter = 0.264 gal.
Hope your soda mix helps clear the rodent problem.
Good to see the rain fall.
Had our first snow flurries in sw Indiana this morning.
Have a great day.
Some of the best tools for seed beds are the homemade ones. 🙂 Take care Sir.
Potato flakes (dry), beside a bowl of water works well for rodents. The flakes grow exponentially when the rodent drinks the water. No way to excrete the potatoes and thus die.
We used the baking soda and flour and sugar now we have no rodents in the house at all. Love your video God bless you and your family.
What ratios do you use ? I'd rather not see or incounter snakes as we use our hay in the barn.
Great episode. 1 gallon = 3.7854 liters.
Field looks great. I’d like to suggest rescuing some fixed female short haired cats. Have a great rest of your week

She thinks my tractor, sexy

Good morning FT. Hope you and the family have a great day.
Good afternoon Thanks for the video Tyler
that brown white cow must be the boss,always first.
Thats what I was wondering - if she was the head cow
Pretty sure that’s Buddy- channel mascot 😂🥰🤎
Good morning FTR. I used mash potato flakes next to a bowl of water. We see ferral cats from time to time but i believe birds of pray pick them off. I dont want to encourage cats to cone up to house as my dogs will kill them.

Nice hat
For a no till drill, call your local Resource Conservation Distr. or Marin RCD
My grandma used to put out bowls of flour or cornmeal mixed with plaster of paris powder to kill mice and rodents.
Rolling rolling rolling!!!
First time to be the first like and comment. Who says being sick in bed is all bad. 😅
Good morning Kenny, hope you get well soon .
Thank you that’s very kind.
Oh my goodness! You are an inspiration! If I get in the top 20 comments I think I’m doing well 😆👏👏👏👏👏👏 hope you are feeling better soon
Your field looks beautifully prepared for planting seed..👍 1 American gallon = 3.875 litres
My dad always said if you're going to do it do it right at 12 needs to build up
Love your videos
Glade u got the fields ready before the rains came in the cows are looking good have a good day.
Hi good morning Tyler from Indiana
Here in kansas you can buy one of those older drills for couple thousand dollars and is a lot easier to plant you hay
I see you got some rain. We finally got some rain after a few months without anything. New York State
Snowing with rain here today November 22, 24
Morning FT! Very busy and interesting vid as usual! Great job! God’s blessings!❤❤
The baking soda might work. I never did try it, but I've been told that crumbled Alka Seltzer kills birds fast. A lot of people think these conversations are mean.Not if you are a producer. Rodents destroy a lot of feed, which costs a lot of money.

The calves seems to be getting the idea that mom isn't the food source anymore - lol. That LS Tractor seems to be a pretty good machine.
They are getting it now. Yeah so far the LS has been amazing!
Many Conservation Districts rent no-till drills and spray rigs. Might want to check there.
Excellent episode, glad you got the ground done before the storm 😊😊😊😊. Baking soda does work but I think it takes a bit longer to work 😊😊xx

I would be happy to meet with you and discuss what we have learned in detail.
I think you pretty much answered my questions right there! I might get a consult from you next year when I’m planting. Thank you!
@@farmertylerranch4399 I’m here for you anytime you need a hand. My son just planted it, with a regular disk opener drill, about two weeks ago.
The low till method sounds very good to me
Tyler it takes 3.785 liters to make 1 gallon ..because the per centage is closer to 4...we normally say it takes 4 liters to make 1.06 gallons...
14 liters is 3.6 gallons . 8 liters is 2.1 gallons . Thanks for your time
Thank you for explaining floating the field. I grew up on a farm but we has row crops. I basically understood why you were floating the field but never seen it before. My dad used a no till drill for cover crops.

Be Safe

Hope y’all are doing ok looks like you’ve got quite the mess on your hands with the weather. Stay safe!🙏
Thanks. Hope we don’t get too much rain but not looking good. Your field looks good and will be interested in knowing if your mixture works.
I hope your owls don't decide to eat it and suffer the same consequence. Callie is a darling! Tyler you under estimate her intelligence 😅
There’s a lot going on today on Farmer Tyler Ranch!
We tried the baking soda with Parmesan cheese ate bunch but I have to try it the way you guys are doing it thank you for the video
You an your family stay safe thru that strom.the good thing you get some good rain fr it
Good luck with the varmint trial !!
Hi Tyler enjoy your Thanksgiving and get full of good food 11-22-2024❤

Just be patient it will work if they eat it. Everybody I've got to try it couldn't believe it but it worked for them too.

Good luck with the baking soda,I tried it and can’t get them to eat it hardly at all,maybe you will have better luck! Great video!🐁🐁🐁🐈⬛
Well it will and will smell them
Good update, always planning and trying something new!
Good morning!
Have you tried the bucket style trap that drowns them? They climb up to the bait and fall through the door.
Yes I never could catch one in one of those
They are going to eat it. Just like a little kid, the sweeter the mix. The more they want to ear ir
👍Your mix will work. I would give it 3-4 day's.
A liter is 1000 milliliters or 1.06 quarts. Vehicle fuel around the world is usually priced and sold by the liter.
I enjoyed watching FT. If you could get your tillage farming to work, you would probably also have significant fuel savings.
I have often wandered why that trailer was doing there uppside down.
I rent a no till drill from the county USDA office to put in forage oats behind soybeans for hay. Works pretty good. Be safe out there we need you.
Have you checked the air in the new tractor tires? The front looks a little low. Of course, that could be the weight of the bales.
good job
When I am hooking stuff like the roller up I get close then use a ratchet strap to pull it into position. A hard battle all alone, I found this to work well.
Do you have an implement dealer in your area that sells no-till drills? Sometimes they may also have a unit to rent. Sometimes...if you're lucky.
One liter equals just a hair over a quarter of a gallon. 1 liter = 0.264 gallons. Love ya, FTR
That LS tractor sure is getting a workout since you got it and it looks like it doesnt struggle at all doing the jobs , iv heard the baking soda works good on rodents - hope it works out for you 👍🇺🇸

Is annual grass seed much better for hay than perennial seed. That is alot of ground work each year. Well done
1 ltr is approx 2.2 pints. Hope this helps Tyler.
You've got a coat on!
One liter is equal to a little more than a quart, liquid measure. So 13 liters/hour is 13.73695 quarts or 3.434237 gallons/hour of operation.
The simple conversion is a liter is very close to a quart just a little over. So a gallon has almost 4.5 liters.
thx
Do you like the blue tractor and do you want to keep it .
Hello from Washington state. Looks a little heavy on the baking soda. The rodents that I have used it on seem to go for the cornmeal.
A litre is about a quart and 4 quarts per gallon.
wow gas is still 4.69 out there. 2.69 here in West Virginia
