    Having farmed in the Aberdeen/Springfield area back in the late 80s/early 90s, your videos bring back some mostly great memories. Thanks for the great content!

    I stumbled across your channel and have enjoyed the Idaho potato content. It’s quite a bit different from our Indiana potato farm but we are a quarter the size of your acres in potatoes. Ours are for chips and harvested in July.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  6 місяців тому

      Yeah that’s a little different. We harvest in September and they are usually pretty big.

    Just subscribed. Very few ( if any) potatoes grown here in the state of Georgia. Well done channel. Keep educating us.

    Glad you explained the two pivots side by side. When I saw them I wondered why, now I know!

      I’m glad you liked it. I figured some people might want to know why it was set up that way.

    Enjoy seeing how you figure out how not to waste seed and fertilizer. Everyone does things a little different.

      There’s just sandbars across the valley where there are really Sandy Fields

    the only down fall to your 1 point grease point is the 1line may not take grease
    I like all lines coming to 1 point with separate grease zerks to each point

    Do y'all own the dairy operations where you get your manure from as well if you do wouldn't mind seeing that setup as well

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  6 місяців тому

      We don’t own the dairy. We just manage the manure. And grow some hay.

    i have nevere heard of nor seen this pc of equipment what does it do other than dig the side of the rows deeper

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  2 місяці тому

      You need to go watch more of the videos. What it does is break up the soil underneath the seed so the roots grow better. It also builds up the rows then puts dams and dikesfor water retention.

  • @MrChrisdamien
    @MrChrisdamien 6 місяців тому +1

    Crazy idea, sell that diker, buy a 12 row and use the 2 track on that and the wheeled tractor on the planter. Double the acres covered and you still run 3 planters. Expensive, but possible

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  6 місяців тому

      We need the diker and we could buy 3 new Lockwood planters for the price of 1 12 row. Would be nice if they weren’t so expensive.

    It is Idaho, after all 😀. Are those soils out there sandy or mostly loess like west of IF?

      Our soil isn’t really sandy but there are some sandy fields around.

    That concrete must really wreck your manure spreader. You may want to see if your local tire dealer has a small plane full of "job opportunity" LOL

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  6 місяців тому

      The concrete has definitely done damage to the spreaders. Usually it can spit it out but sometimes it breaks the chains.
