Farmers Don’t Get Anniversaries

- It's our wedding anniversary!... but it's farming season too. That means no fancy date night. Just a picnic in the tractor. Oh! And lots of weather anxiety--will it rain, won't it rain?!
We seed the last of the crop for 2024. Green field peas. So come along with the family and see what seeding Montana fields feels like in an old John Deere tractor. We talk controversial topics like Round Up chemical spraying, Dust Bowl soil tilling, regenerative agriculture, and all that good stuff.
I can remember when we went to no till. Cultivate and spray, maybe run a disc. Sad day for the plough.
So true! Robbie just bought a chisel plough not long ago 😆 But you never know when you might need it… No til takes some of the fun out of farming, but there’s always a bit of plowing to do on this place.
I like your discussion of regenerative farming vs pure organic and also the “proper” use of roundup. I learned something! 👍
Cheers! 🥂 Appreciate this so much!
I think i have said it another video but I enjoy your thoughts on caring and respecting your land!
Much thanks 🙏
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you!! 🥂
Hi Jessie & Robbie be blessed. Congratulation with your wedding anniversary cheers send you bold a rose🌹🌹🍀,I hope you did ahad a great day anyway.question what kind of seed were you sawing green peas orother kind,the Naturural vertilising in stead for chemicals is the best way to get good natural food.Greetings.From v Hubertus
Thank you so much 😊
Hello Jessie & Robbie- I am not a fan of Round-Up, however, I am going to trust that you are being responsible in its application. That said, we do not grow crops other than hay. Our Herefords are grass fed. We spread manure on the fields and add commercial fertilizer if needed. You have an impressive acreage under cultivation. We are only a 350 small family farm. In 1940, 40% of all families were small family farms. Today, that figure is less than 1%. I don't know what people think they are going to eat? Your farm and others like yours are so important to the backbone of our American breadbelt. We have CSAs in New Hampshire ( COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE ) that literally sell shares in their future crops up front, in order to have the working capitol needed to buy seed and operate their farms. I cannot stress enough how important it is for people to support our farmers any way they can. Please buy local and do join a CSA in your area if possible. What programs do you have in Montana? ~ Diane
Beautiful comment 🙌🏻 I’ll look into CSAs more-we are so remote & the weather so harsh, farming is always difficult here in Montana. I love the idea of growing & raising food to keep it local. My hat is off to you for raising grass fed Herefords & feeding your community. Cheers from out West!
