Nice job Jason! Always am envious of your videos this time of the year because you give me that spring itch even though we are a good month away. Keep up the good work, always a pleasure watching
It is kinda amazing the technology we got where another planter can just pull into a half finished field and pick up like they had been there the whole time. All this stuff makes things nice.
I was in Jeffersonville, Indiana (right across the river for Louisville) for work last week and was really surprised at how far ahead their weather was compared to home (north central Ohio). I'm not surprised at all that they are already planting corn down there!
We too usually start planting corn in mid March here in SW Georgia but due to all the rain that we've had everyone is getting a late start. Keep up the good work and great videos.
There are a few farms here in SW Georgia that have corn in the V2 stage right now. That's the earliest i've seen so far. The rest is V1. There are still some planting corn. Funny how some folks don't realize that the climate and weather are not the same say from Texas going up to Minnesota. Two years ago they were planting corn here in the middle of February.
Beautiful video. I would never have a chance to see something like this if it wasn't for videos on youtube and your contribution to this is most appreciated. Thanks.
I’ve seen some around here start planting corn in mid February and start harvesting corn on July 2nd. I’ve had people from up north try to argue that we didn’t start that early till they came down and saw it for themselves.
thanks for explaining the plant date. I would have never thought they would be planting when I am in NC piedmont, and coastal plain area. We are starting next week, just thought KY would be later, but thanks for info.
Didn’t know they made a 6330 in an open station tractor. Btw that would be considered “big tractor power” in my section of Kentucky lol. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always. Never realized how big the fields were out there or how early they planted until I started watching your videos. I'm from southern Ohio.
Better to be a little on the dry side during planting season. You can plant "fence row to fence row" and not have to avoid muddy potholes. Lot less headache....it can rain later when planting is done!! Nice video!
Does the tractor turning on the headlands mess up the seed already planted there at all ? This farm has a serious operation going on. Great video with the commentary BTP ! Thank you.
It can but most farmers expect that when they do it like that imo. We farm against sprinklers and I plant passes before I do the circle so I know where I have to turn without getting too close to the sprinkler
When you say starter fertilizer are you referring to what we use in Georgia called Pop-up? I love to see these big 4wd tractors at work. They are very few used down here. Thanks for the video 👏
Love the videos. Any chance that you could maybe do a farm tour of this operation?Seems like they have a huge outfit if it’s the same group you film frequently. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
Can the guys planting the interior get the field boundaries out of the controllers that planted the end rows for the row shut offs or do they have to drive that themselves. Oh and did you see all the rocks.
What was the guy adding to the seed as it was being loaded into the planter? Also, dude about got his head knocked off as the tractor backed away. Be safe out there boys!
Didn't they have deere planters last year?I wonder if they use coverage map sharing so that each planter shuts automaticaly off where the other has planted
Good question. I am working on that very video right now. They V Rip in the fall and in the spring apply NH3 and run a harrow over the field. There is very little soil disturbance.
There is a turnpike being built on my way to work and there is a few of these monsters on site pretty sure I saw one dragging not one but two belly scrapers the other day
So there were 3 planting Tractors in that field...2 with the 600 gallon liquid fertilizer tanks on tractor and 1 with 2 600 gal tanks and what looks to be a 400-500 gal tank on the planter ?
There is actually 5 tractors and 24 row planters running. This is just a section of a 1,600 acre field. Because all 5 planters were not in camera at the same time I focused on what could be viewed.
The one thing that stood out to me was when they were filling the tractor using the loader tractor and pro box. That is a great way to lose a limb or life for the guy putting graphite in the planter should the hydraulics fail on the loader.
If there are 2 tractors running GPS-controlled planters - do they communicate with each other to know the exact areas that the other has already planted?
In Nebraska Iowa and South Dakota planting season will more than likely be really late this year because of all the flooding in these states a lot of farmland is currently submerged underwater
The flooding isnt helping at all right now its destroyed homes business property farm land roads bridges dams and levees railroad tracks taken out power claimed a third 9f offutt air force base caused the Nebraska state capital to start running out of drinking water because its cut the power to the water wells that supply the state capital and killed people and caused others to go missing stranded and starved livestock cutt off and evacuated communities so at the moment all I can say is what is evident at the time which is destruction and death the flooding is doing more harm than good right now so I cant tell you if it will help because right now we cant see that far in the future the water has taken more away than it has left alot of bio degradable things like cornstalks that could help the soil have been washed away along with tons of soil the water has so much soil in it it is brown and muddy not blue and pretty and transparent you cant tell how deep it is in areas because you cant see the bottom its depositing so much soil and mud in areas that its taking snowplow trucks to reopen and clear roads this flooding is the most severe we have seen in half a century so to say the flooding will help is something at this moment in time just isnt something we can see right now we are starting the recovering proceshere in the northern parts as the water recedes as the water moves further to the south it's still a very real threat to those downstream in its path more people communities property business farm land roads bridges dams levees railroad tracks and livestock will ge affected before all the water finally pours into theocean the reasons for the flooding is rapid snowmelt with rain on top and frozen ground that the water cant sink into and the bomb cyclone that hit us last week so I dont think at this timet the flooding will help because the ground is frozen so for silt and other trace amounts fertilizers to get into the soil at the moment if the flooding depisted anything is impossible
@@tellinghusen2014, I was only referring to the soil. I feel horrible that lives, homes, livestock have been lost. I definitely would rather have had this not happen and pray for all the people affected by this tragedy. I'm sorry if I sounded not concerned, was not my intent.
Sorry I was so blunt but I'm just trying to help spread the word about what's going o here because other than our local media it's not even getting covered the mass shooting in New Zealand is getting more coverage than our natural disater if this was Katrina it would be all over the news but the mainstream media outlets dont even care about what's going on here and quite frankly its sad that other parts of the country have no idea that the people out here that produce alot of our nation's food are struggling and trying to grasp whats going on and figure out where we go next from here we will rebuild recover and we will be stronger for it but it's going to take a long time not just days or weeks but months possibly a year or more because there is so much damage to contend with what took maybe 15 20 minutes to travel before the flooding is now turning into hours in order to get where your going roads are closed bridges are out so I'm only trying to educate and get the word out about what's going on here social media has bee covering most of the flooding besides what our local media outlets have covered and now just yesterday Monday the 18 did some of the mainstream media finally decide to pick us up 4 days after the fact so for us here where the devastation Is happening it's kind of hard for us to believe the mainstream media really cares because they weren't here when it all started so pardon me if I sound a littleupset with the situation I have lived here in Nebraska since I was born here and raised here my state matters to me and other nebraskans so we ask that you send prayers our way for everyone affected
I'm kinda surprised this farm hans't gone to 24" row spacing considering the salubrious climate of western Kentucky . That marker is the " belt and suspenders " approach I approve of ! Nothing worse than having your ' gee whiz ' go TU with no backup ! And some Pols think they can do away with this manner of farming and still feed the nations of the world ?
Looks like a rockpicker would be handy on this land
Small pebbles
Nice job Jason! Always am envious of your videos this time of the year because you give me that spring itch even though we are a good month away. Keep up the good work, always a pleasure watching
Very nice again, great to see the season started, always great to see the corn coming up
It is kinda amazing the technology we got where another planter can just pull into a half finished field and pick up like they had been there the whole time. All this stuff makes things nice.
It is pretty impressive. The tractor knows right where to go and start running.
I was in Jeffersonville, Indiana (right across the river for Louisville) for work last week and was really surprised at how far ahead their weather was compared to home (north central Ohio). I'm not surprised at all that they are already planting corn down there!
Awesome video glad to see the planters in the felid
Prairie Creek Farm awesome video glad to see planters in the frail as well
Awesome video
Awesome video
Awesome video
Awesome video
We too usually start planting corn in mid March here in SW Georgia but due to all the rain that we've had everyone is getting a late start. Keep up the good work and great videos.
It’s a late start here as well. Lots of rain. Hopefully it will really break open in the next week.
There are a few farms here in SW Georgia that have corn in the V2 stage right now. That's the earliest i've seen so far. The rest is V1. There are still some planting corn. Funny how some folks don't realize that the climate and weather are not the same say from Texas going up to Minnesota. Two years ago they were planting corn here in the middle of February.
I'd have to say that's the first 6330 I've seen with out a cab.
Nice job BTP.
Thanks for the vid. I can't believe they are in the field already, it has been such a long winter.
It was a long wet winter here. No snow to amount to anything. Hoping things will really break open in the next week.
Western Kentucky has that midwest setting but with a southern climate.
That is correct.
Good video Jason, thank you for your time and effort bud, hopefully the weather will cooperate and the farmers can get more seeds planted..!
They have a lot of rocks in this field😮 Big tractor👍🏻🌞
Nice machinery ,good operators,well made video ,thank you BTP .

Hi Jason,
as always great Work !
cheers from Germany
Great video thanks
I never get tired of it.thx!!
thanks for explaining the plant date. I would have never thought they would be planting when I am in NC piedmont, and coastal plain area. We are starting next week, just thought KY would be later, but thanks for info.
The earliest I have seen corn go in here was on 2/29/16. Normally it starts in mid March.
i love big tractor, thanks
I have a feeling they don’t want to pick any rocks up got to be fun a bean harvest time.
They have two skid steers with rock buckets and a pull type rock picker. They will collect the rocks.
Yeah that looks like a Row Cleaner nightmare!!!!
Another awesome video!!! Thanks for posting it BTP!
Excellent video.
Thank you for watching.
Excellent beginning. So close the machinery is huge vs the filming intermediate distance. Nice country.
These machines can cover some ground.
Thank you
+bigtractorpower Really nice video! Your videos are very educational and informational for non-farmers. Keep it up.
This is a great video, enjoyed it so much
Thank you for watching. It is fun going out to film these machines to share on UA-cam.
Great video as always, Sir! St. Patricks Day is the day we always shot for in Alabama to start planting!
A lot different than the way my dad & I used to do it back in the 50's & 60's in western Ohio great video
It’s amazing how Equipment has grown.
Nice to get started it's a good feeling 🚜🚜👍
😁👍
They look like a traveling circus with all the equipment needed to complete the job LoL
Didn’t know they made a 6330 in an open station tractor. Btw that would be considered “big tractor power” in my section of Kentucky lol. Thanks for sharing.
i just left a comment about that as well, i would have thought it would have a cab as well 🤷🏻♂️
Looking good big tractor love seeing those John Deere‘s😉🌞👍🏻
Great video as always. Never realized how big the fields were out there or how early they planted until I started watching your videos. I'm from southern Ohio.
It blows me away too see the dust fly. Going to be awhile for that here in MN
The rocky ground is one reason that the soil dries out enough to plant this early.
Great video, will you be putting your own tractor to work this year. Just curious.
First time i have seen someone farm in an old gravel pit.
Better to be a little on the dry side during planting season. You can plant "fence row to fence row" and not have to avoid muddy potholes. Lot less headache....it can rain later when planting is done!! Nice video!
We have had plenty of rain since last fall. It will be interesting to see how the year goes.
Another great video just didn’t think there were stones like that in western Kentucky!
Talk about rocks in the field
Quite a bit of them
Very interesting video, thanks sam.
Nothing runs like a Deere! 👍
Does the tractor turning on the headlands mess up the seed already planted there at all ?
This farm has a serious operation going on.

Sharp Shooter yep pop-up, starter same thing
Amazing machines
Awesome Video Buddy!!
Great video, looks rocky
Do they use the same brand of seed each year or do they switch
I do know. They use Channel mostly. Not sure what they run for varieties.
excellent work, nice machinery, i like it, greetings
God damn it 30 40 50 years ago, please let us harvest the freedom of love
Love the videos. Any chance that you could maybe do a farm tour of this operation?Seems like they have a huge outfit if it’s the same group you film frequently. Thanks. Keep up the great work.
This is such a cool channel
Beau travail! 👍👌
Thank you for watching.
What do you do when one of these tractors breaks down? they look pretty technical.
Call in the Specialist's !
Can the guys planting the interior get the field boundaries out of the controllers that planted the end rows for the row shut offs or do they have to drive that themselves. Oh and did you see all the rocks.
2nd! Nice John Deere!
I like your enthusiasm thank you for watching
Did they spread any dry fertiliser before planting
What was the guy adding to the seed as it was being loaded into the planter? Also, dude about got his head knocked off as the tractor backed away. Be safe out there boys!
It's a powder that helps the seed flow through the planter better.
Time to hire some local kids to pick rocks out of the field.
Nice video
i would have thought that 6330 would have a cab on it 🤔
I like finding tractors like this 6330 that are listed in the sales brochure as optional.
they better get out their pick up them potatoes.
John Deere 420 R seems big for planting, it would be interesting to try the 6330 planted with 24 rows.
Nice video of some big green equipment. Is that rocks in the field or just very hard clods?
Thanks for watching. Those are stones. They have two skid steers with rock buckets and a pull type rock picker. They will collect the rocks.
В нас в Україні була фірма і там теж була така техніка і ми теж сіяли з навігацією кукурузу ну взагалі все,було класно.
Is the video about their grain system nearing completion? Very eager to see it lol
What irrigation system they use????
Did this farm run john deere corn planters last year?
No they have run Kinze since the first Kinze 24 row came out.
Hey Jason is all of theses farmer's going to be okay with all the flooding going on or are they in big trouble?
Didn't they have deere planters last year?I wonder if they use coverage map sharing so that each planter shuts automaticaly
off where the other has planted
What depth do they plant their corn?
How many bushels do they put to the acre of corn
Was there a house or barn there where it looks to be chunks of rock or concrete.
What was the additive that was added to the seed tank?
It is graphite to help it slide out of the tank.
@@bigtractorpower Thank you kind sir!
How many times do they plow the fields to get them in that good shape
Good question. I am working on that very video right now. They V Rip in the fall and in the spring apply NH3 and run a harrow over the field. There is very little soil disturbance.
Deere also made another 9420 from 2001-2005 at 425hp.Saw a 9420 at 2001 fps
Can you get a video of the loader tractor? I have not seen a 6000 series with no cab!!
It is a 6330. I do have video of it.
You should do some oatwanna history
How many acres of rocks do they grow?
Not many but that part of the field had a few. They have a rock picker that will collect those.
What variety of Stewart seed is that? I also use Stewart. I would love to start planting now.
👍👍
Most farmers don't run saddle tanks on there tractors anymore?
There is a turnpike being built on my way to work and there is a few of these monsters on site pretty sure I saw one dragging not one but two belly scrapers the other day
Is the 24 row Kenzie's biggest corn planter B.T.P.?
A 5 second search would confirm that it is.
The Kinze 4700 planter comes in a 36 row configuration with 20” spacing.
@@Screamindynos That's a biggin'!.
It's the same planter, same tool bar. Just has more Row units on the tool bar.
maybe sometime you should come to brazil to film us harvesting or planting... we work in a very different way because of the ground difference etc...
It would be interesting to see the large farming style in South America.
Yeah it’s different because it should still be Rain Forest!!!!!!
@@bigtractorpower, If you go and see two guys on a motorcycle, RUN like you've never RUN before !!
What day was this filmed? great video as always!
So there were 3 planting Tractors in that field...2 with the 600 gallon liquid fertilizer tanks on tractor and 1 with 2 600 gal tanks and what looks to be a 400-500 gal tank on the planter ?

maverick12212000 I’ve never heard of that happening before. Or else I just haven’t kept my eyes open that well.
If there are 2 tractors running GPS-controlled planters - do they communicate with each other to know the exact areas that the other has already planted?
Yes that is how they work. They can track and communicate with each other in the field.
In Nebraska Iowa and South Dakota planting season will more than likely be really late this year because of all the flooding in these states a lot of farmland is currently submerged underwater
Very sorry to see and hear about the severe flooding.

What is the yellow tank used to carry on the planters
He explains them at 4:20
Is there some kind of power source that operates the planter ? or is it all done by gravity .
mr troy bilt fans run by hydrolic fluid.

I see what farm your following. I still want to see their fleet lol
Rock City
They have two skid steers with rock buckets and a pull type rock picker. They will collect the rocks.
Where was this
When does crop insurance coverage start in Kentucky for corn in 2019?
I am not sure.
I know in McCracken Co its April 1st
Does the tractor rock back and forth with the auto-track and RTK with the tractor being articulated?
