I'm from northeast S.C.. I don't believe I've ever heard a southern farmer speak about farming better than you. God has truly blessed you and your family. Keep it up only by God's grace !
I'm a little late watching this one.🙄 Both tillage and chemicals are just tools in the box. Only YOU know what works best for your operation and conditions. NoTil is fine for corn/bean rotation, most of the time. But nothing is perfect all the time. Great video!
Obviously the fewer passes across the field the better. No-till on red clay just isn’t an option. I did a small trial in corn field this year. All other variables were the same, tillage the only difference. Most my corn was 8’-9’ tall yielding 240 bushel average…..the no-till was under 3’ tall, not all seeds produced a plant, not all plants produced an ear.
You are exactly right about ground speed w a disc harrow, our almost new rmx 340 31 ft is between 6.2 and 6.5 is it's speed and it's a little faster than your older harrows be ause of the cylinder on the tounge to adjust front to back pressure
As a no till farmer it hurts to watch land being disc, but different soil types along with what we call a specialty crop calls for different measures. We're mostly corn wheat and soybeans around here so we no till and strip till everything.
Strip tilling was very popular here for 15-20 years but recently farmers are starting to trend away from it some. I know there are large regions of the country where no-till corn is very successful and I’ve heard no till farmers in Montana say their wheat yield is “acceptable.” In our area the wheat yield is doubled if you subsoil ahead of it. No-till corn would yield 0-75 bushels here. I had one row in my field that was shallow tilled but not subsoiled-that 600 yard row was 3’ tall and had 4-6” ears while the row on either side of it was 8.5’-9’. No-till is a great option where it works, but isn’t an option everywhere, just as deep tillage is a great option where it works but also isn’t an option everywhere.
I’ve seen a fair amount of strip till peanuts through the years, although it is no longer common around here. I have only seen one farmer attempt no-till.
5.5 mph is what worked best for me in our dirt too. Had a old farmer a few miles from me that swore by no till peanuts! He’d plant into wheat stubble every year. He must’ve done pretty good with it too. But it just never made any sense to me.
Here in Eastern North Carolina in my area. There is a farmer who has been planting no till peanuts for the third year in a row. He seems to be doing ok with it. The first time I seen him planting no till peanuts I thought he was planting no till cotton. But when it started coming up. I looked and it was peanuts.
Must be On a coastal plain soil or a sandy loam. I saw it done in Bulloch county Ga (close to Savannah) but the yield was significantly lower than average.
Scalloped blades are much more aggressive cutters. Usually only see those on offset harrows around here used for cutting firebreaks. Lift type harrows also usually have them to.

I’m not saying anything that every farmer doesn’t already know. Just trying to explain it to the lay people
Good to see the Deere back in the field .Now thats a freaking wrench ..Tom
I was looking for big one but couldn’t find one 😂
Another great video Patrick! Love your camera angles and detailed information you provide!
Thanks Rob!
That was doing a fine job Patrick!!!!
It’ll do a lot better now that we got some moisture.
Hello, Patrick! Another entertaining and didactic session. Blessed rain.
Thanks for watching Luis!
@@PatrickShivers 👌
Great video
Thanks for watching/commenting
Excellent content! There is just something about that red clay... Take care...
It’ll hold the fertilizer and moisture well, but if it does dry out it’s harder to work than asphalt.
That was pretty slick the way you plowed you camera without breaking it.
Lol
I done that shot at least 5 or 6 times before. Actually buried it with subsoiler and took couple of days/rain/metal detector to find it……still worked
Can't beat them john deeres for an all around tractor.

You better believe that dog on 8530 will pull that little disc in half
We have several do strip till peanuts in middle Georgia. We have areas of straight red clay to sandy loam.

I think only people in south Georgia call a disk a harrow

Would scalloped blades cut the stubble up any better than the round blades? Enjoy your description of the various tasks you are doing.
Scalloped blades are much more aggressive cutters. Usually only see those on offset harrows around here used for cutting firebreaks. Lift type harrows also usually have them to.
How much longer will it be before you start inverting peanuts?
The calendar says about 15 days. I’ll do an actual test tomorrow
@@PatrickShivers I can't wait to see what the yield is!
Patrick what horsepower is the 8530
300
Thoughts on a turbo till
I’ve never pulled one. A farmer down the road has one and he loves it.
I'm in Ga. Interested in our states preferred equipment and practices. Most ag stuff is out west and not totally relevant to me

@@PatrickShivers Thanks for the information!
Are you paid for every video? Or do you have to get 100,000 views to get paid?

Ok thanks for answering my questions
