It warms my heart when you give a cow the calcium and dextrose IV's to save them. We lost our first family milk cow right after she gave birth. Maybe if we had done what you do she could've been saved, but that was back in 1974 and we were not dairy farmers and did not know these things. I had set up with her for a long time holding her head in my lap that cold winter January night in Iowa. I was 16 then and I cried when she died. I have a huge soft spot in my heart for animals and I think you do too, Kip. Thank you for being you.
When you were running the manure spreader, I recalled the saying, "Little man, so spic and span, where were you when the 't * * d' hit the fan"? A professor said that to me one time when I was interviewing him to see if I should put him on my Thesis Committee. . . . I did not. Talk about 'hitting the fan', take one guess who was slinging it around? Thank you for sharing your day. 😊
Get the manure spread when it’s frozen it’s getting that time of the season it’ll be muddy then it’s time to plant. Good thing you have another generation willing to help keep the family tradition going because I think this country is going to have to start going back to depend on family farming and the farm that can do their own repairs is way ahead 👍✌🏻🇺🇸
Hey Kip i pick up new sprayers out the Ankeny Des Moines plant they make sprayers tillage an seeders an cotton pickers there the seeders are all packaged up for shipping but don’t look that different from those that you have there take care the family an farm are looking good ask your Dad how all that gray hair has come around ! Lol this is coming from a fellow gray haired guy take care as always love the videos
Your videos bring back many memories. My wife and I were raised just up the road in Marlette many moons ago. Me to a creamery family and she to a dairy farming family. You do a great service to those who are ignorant of what happens between the dirt and their gut. Farming requires endurance and keen intellect. Keep up the good work and God bles.
So bought the same drill last year that had been gone through, so most of the disk height adjustments where seized , replaced all the chains and wood block chain tighteners , all hydraulic hoses and most of the seed hoses going down to the disk where plugged solid, after that seed placement and gemination is perfect, easy to pull while tractor is just sipping high priced diesel 👌
Seeing you service the silo unloader brings back memories of servicing the ones on our farm. Once when going up the 24 x80 to change doors I was met halfway up by a big raccoon coming down the chute at me. I didn’t know I could move that fast.
Great picture of you and your daughters. You will love the drill !!! JUST KEEP IT OUT OF SOFT GROUND. THAT DOLLY DOESN'T LIKE IT. FAMILY IS LOOKING GOOD
Those drills are excellent. We ran one like it for 20 years for beans and wheat . The yetter marker arms are the ones to have . They plant excellent in tilled and notill . Gotta make sure you calibrate the seed meters and check the drive sprockets and chain . All around Good buy .
We have a 750 drill that looks the same that we were told is a 1993. Ours is a 15 foot with no markers and only 1 seed tank instead of 2. Stay away from wet spots with the dolly wheels or the mud will push ahead of them and get you stuck. When that happens I've always been able to lock the drill in the raised position, unhook from it, then pull it out with a chain. If you need to take off one of the cast closing wheels, the ones on the left side have bolts with left hand thread and the right side have right hand thread. There were a couple series of 750's so it's good to have the serial number when you need parts for it.
We have 2 of the 750 drills . great drill.that one is a later model because it has hydraulic adjustment down pressure.check seed boots and blades they wear out .if you replace you have a new drill.if you look in owners manual it tells you how to move certain openers so they aren't planting on top of a corn row from last year .better stand
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Very nice drill you got. Is is very good shape for its age. Most are all beat up. Not this one. Covers and everything. Wow. You will get good use out of that. You are a master at silos. I will admit I have worked in them but I do not like it. You are right at home with how it works and you take super care of the unloading equipment. My compliments to you Kip. I think you are one of the best herdsmen I have seen. Appreciate the care you give your herd. Outstanding Kip. I totally agree with you on the baby calf. If you can help them yes help the calf out and save the mother hours of labor. You are great with the newborn calf’s Kip. My compliments to you sir. Great video. Shows real life on the dairy farm. Thanks for everything Kip. The Iowa Farm Boy.
You will be very pleased with the drill. We had to add weights on the back to maintain depth. Good long term investment Teach the kids to grease it you will be glad you did
we got one just like that but smaller with the yetter markers. Really love it. We've never had any issues and it works really good on the rocky Michigan ground.
I just had a birthday on the 20th. 👍 Happy Birthday to everyone there. I'm with you a hundred percent on the calving, help them out when you can. They have enough on their plate to birthing. Nice to see the family's doing good. Your dad's a pretty good purchaser when it comes to farm equipment. 👍God Bless everyone and stay safe. 😁
And tomorrow and the next day over a foot of snow. Anyway, looking towards planting season, I bought a no-till planter a couple years ago and I loved it not as many passes over the field. Hoping 99 keeps getting better for you.
we have a 1570 15ft drill deere. we love it, alwaysa good stand. ours is chain driven which of course when you pick it up to turn around at the end of the field you lose beans. other then that its been a great drill
Kip. Let's go. Happy Birthday to your Mum. I hope each year gets easier for you all. And happy Birthday to you for filming day + 10 days. Whenever that arrives. 👍
Really nice drill! Look up the Rick Clark presentations and Dr Erin Silva Univ Wis, RC is doing three field passes and no chemicals for his soybean crop. They both advocate planting 15in beans into standing rye (that was planted Sep 15th-ish), then rolling the rye before beans hit V1 & rye pollen stage. If you missed winter rye planting, then second best is early spring oats. I'm trying both rye planted last fall and spring oats.
Bought a new 15’ 750 drill in 1992 the older ones before that had 5 grease zerks per row.. we bought the yetter markers for ours also,I don’t believe Deere even offered markers then.. bought a 20’ 750 drill about ten years ago it had the three point hook up on it man is that a heavy machine.. you might find if you get into some soft wet spots the front dolly wheels will push..
May your ventures into no tiil be rewarding as well as bringing your farm time and financial savings. Change can be difficult, but most who have transitioned to no till will only consider going back to tillage in rare muddy rutted conditions to dry and level fields back out.
I"m hearing a severe snowstorm is heading your way. Ya may want to spread manure just before it hits. Might be a while before ya can get back in the fields. Stay warm.
I wonder how the US feels about them being the only country in the world to use Fahrenheit lol I use feet and inches too but I know both, Fahrenheit however, that's a whole different animal lol
At 17:30, I support and agree with helping the mamma cow out but I often wonder how many farmers do it out of kindness vs selfishness because the Lord will judge everyone for their selfishness if they don't consider the cows' pain/stress when they calve...
If you have to start a tractor with starting fluid during the winter it’s best not to even be a farmer starting fluid ruins a motor very fast just ask my dad that question oh wait you can’t ask him that he’s no longer living or a farmer using starting fluid will cost you in the long run because it ruins the piston walls of the engine block

Hard to spreading this year for us being so soft. Now another storm coming. Stay safe Kip and nice in the calf’s.
Great picture of you and your daughters.

JUST KEEP IT OUT OF SOFT GROUND. THAT DOLLY DOESN'T LIKE IT. FAMILY IS LOOKING GOOD

The J.D. 750 No Till Drill a very good in wheat and soybeans

Neighbor I use to help bought a 15’ j d no- till drill about 30 years ago ran it for few years and bought a second one and a hitch to pull both
I just had a birthday on the 20th. 👍 Happy Birthday to everyone there. I'm with you a hundred percent on the calving, help them out when you can. They have enough on their plate to birthing. Nice to see the family's doing good. Your dad's a pretty good purchaser when it comes to farm equipment. 👍God Bless everyone and stay safe. 😁
We have a 3pt 20 ft drill like that. We made a heavy duty hitch on the back and pull a 20ft mandako land roller. Works very well behind our JD 8130
Howdy Kip
Happy Birthday. I was looking for you at Farm Show this pass week. I don’t know if you were there or not.
Sling that poop Kip😁great job buddy, keep em comin 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

Kip been following you for more than a couple years and you never stop amazing me with your down to earth videos. thanks so much.

And happy Birthday to you for filming day + 10 days. Whenever that arrives.

Great video ❤
old dairy farmer I used to work for had the same motto....Pull first and control the situation verse let Mother Nature take her course...
Really nice drill! Look up the Rick Clark presentations and Dr Erin Silva Univ Wis, RC is doing three field passes and no chemicals for his soybean crop. They both advocate planting 15in beans into standing rye (that was planted Sep 15th-ish), then rolling the rye before beans hit V1 & rye pollen stage. If you missed winter rye planting, then second best is early spring oats. I'm trying both rye planted last fall and spring oats.
When your in the silo, it makes me nervous that you'll get hurt. So I fast forward that part.
Me too ♥
Can't keep a good cow down... That was literal lol👍
Bought a new 15’ 750 drill in 1992 the older ones before that had 5 grease zerks per row.. we bought the yetter markers for ours also,I don’t believe Deere even offered markers then.. bought a 20’ 750 drill about ten years ago it had the three point hook up on it man is that a heavy machine.. you might find if you get into some soft wet spots the front dolly wheels will push..
God bless the world farmers, 🙏 ♥
I do the same thing if a cows calving, better to get it out with help than to have cow struggle
I ran one doing bean in no till hay it was going to rain went ten mph did just as good of job as five mph
May your ventures into no tiil be rewarding as well as bringing your farm time and financial savings. Change can be difficult, but most who have transitioned to no till will only consider going back to tillage in rare muddy rutted conditions to dry and level fields back out.
What a dirty ,poopy job farming is . Thank you and your family for doing what you do. God Bless you all.
I"m hearing a severe snowstorm is heading your way. Ya may want to spread manure just before it hits. Might be a while before ya can get back in the fields. Stay warm.
Are you not planning on building a slurry lagoon so you can use your manure more efectiv and spread it at the ride soil temperatures
Tim from Canada.. Price John Deere 750 no till drill?.. price…100. Grand. used.. canadian….
Have you and your brothers checked out the Burgman Agri-Speed Hitches for your hay wagons yet and what do you think
Most drills I've seen didn't even have those fold down markers ???
I wonder how the US feels about them being the only country in the world to use Fahrenheit lol
I use feet and inches too but I know both, Fahrenheit however, that's a whole different animal lol
Second to last disc opener closing wheel is bent
Why not plant a 7 strain of legumes?
Never heard of that
@@KipSieglerFarming1 check out “dirt to soil-by Gabe Brown
👌
Looks like we are in for more nasty weather.
How Many # of Manure is on that Spreader?
Two point hitch is a better setup. Front dolly will plow and sink in soft soil. To much weight on it.
Now that this one very attentive mama cow you barely had that calf out and she was cleaning it that's what you like to see
At 17:30, I support and agree with helping the mamma cow out but I often wonder how many farmers do it out of kindness vs selfishness because the Lord will judge everyone for their selfishness if they don't consider the cows' pain/stress when they calve...
Why won't your wife let you cut your sons hair ? Not right man, keep up the awsome job, you have a beautiful family lucky man.

Stfu man, all your comments are negative. No one care what you have to say
