- Welcome back!
I am excited to bring this video to you guys, and am looking forward to its progress as the year goes by. Last week I signed a lease on this property and got to work right away. All of the 22 acres needed serious mowing, so a couple early mornings and late nights got the job done. After mowing, Grandpa and I decided the McFarlane Incite would get the job done. This tool did a great job after a couple passes and we then used it to work in the wheat after it was spread. We applied the wheat at a rate of 3 bushels per acre, which is a little higher than normal. We decided on this rate due to the moisture in the soil and the extra rate would help make sure the odd-shaped fields were completely covered. The landlord was concerned with erosion, as the prior farmer ripped out the terraces, which led to mud washing down the hill and into her driveway. Grandpa and I put in 1 terrace on the long hill, as we were pressed for time to get it done before the fertilizer buggy got there fast. We will see how this works, as a couple more terraces might be necessary in the future. The landlord was very happy with the progress and is looking forward to future progress on the trees in the pasture.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time!
Good to see grandpa working with the skid steer. Thanks for the great information and videos stay safe
That worked ground was real impressive, considering what you showed us in the opening! Great video Jon, nice job on the terraces Grandpa!
We Farm just west of that Big Muddy River from you guys. Last year I did a 1-acre test plot of mixing groundhog radish seeds in with the winter wheat seed. The results were quite noticeable. I did a few more Acres this year. You should give it a test run on a plot. Just saying.
Benefits of groundhog radish. GroundHog radish produces a large amount of root & leaf mass, allowing up to 200 units of nitrogen per acre to be captured. Another major benefit of GroundHog Radish is that they decomposes quickly, leaving loose soils and better water and air infilatration to the soil. Growing up to 24" down into the ground and 4" round.
I hope I will be able to talk to you and Grandpa next year also and check the Museum that will bea lot of fun thanks
Excellent video. . .
Hay John you ok haven't seen any video in some time.
Hope you are doing well.
Nice transformation AND the landowner was tickled.
You made me chuckle when you showed the buggy sitting next to the tractor with the disc behind it on the big field. I'm not laughing at you or what/how you're doing it, but the equipment is beautifully overkill for a 4, a 5, and an 11 ac field. Its the end of the day so I'm half brain-dead, and obviously kinda giddy, but I think the word to describe it is juxtaposition.
It must've been a cool feeling to sign and control land under your name. What an awesome resource the knowledge, experience, know-how, and equipment that you have available and willing to back you up, guide, and help when desired.
Along those tree lines is going to be tough. Shade, hungry wild life, competition for water and fertility. Once you get past that, their will probably be a halo of high productivity, tapering off to average.
I’m not sure how easy it is for you to adjust rates on the fly, but if looks like your working with some good equipment, I’m guessing you can.
Hey John, been missing your videos. Are there any coming out soon?
Hoping to have one out in the next week! Sorry for the wait just finishing up harvest and took a little break from filming.
Drainage projects are interesting, do you have more?
I'd be interested in the show you talked about
I'll do a video on it soon!
Love seeing grandpa working. How many deer you have in that area? Lots of crop damage?
Quite a few deer in this field, but this is our first crop here so we will see how bad the damage is.
@@RennerStockFarms thought I saw a deer stand to the side of one of the fields ?
Wrenchler hill i spread fertilizer on that
It's been a month since you have released a video . Hope you and your family is doing well

Hey, I have a question, you guys no Shane reineck?
Jon, haven't seen anything from you for a while. Really missing your content. Hope all is well!
Thanks for checking in Chris! All is well, just wrapping up harvest and some loose ends before getting back into UA-cam. Hoping to have videos out in the next week. Happy Thanksgiving!
@@RennerStockFarms Good to hear Jon! Looking forward to it. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Is there enty way to push the woods back ?
Right on ! Nice progression! So that's what you'd call winter wheat ?
