@@martinbenton742 hay is cheap. So is corn. Cattle to follow? I hope not. Those are ridiculous prices for tires. Should be about $60 for an 11L-15. 3 years in a row I've replaced a tire on my 7200. Takes a cow each time to pay for it.

@AgWildNebraska dad had 3 bales there because he is down to one horse. I don't know what his brought 5 or 20. I hope the livestock market for the farmer doesn't drop. Prices at the store sure won't. Dad knew the hay would be cheap because it's been a good grow year. He just didn't want it to waste even if it cost him more in gas to haul it there. I'm going to look on market place for a tire for him. I didn't know he was in need. One of his is getting pretty bad and wants to replace it before he has to move snow.

@@martinbenton742 what size does he need

@AgWildNebraska I thought an L11-16 but it maybe an L11-15

@@martinbenton742 oh well a 15 you can just use a pickup tire but those kind of hard to find too

This was a pretty big threshing bee. They had three threshers there running. The straw coming out though just didn't smell very good kind of musty so it must have gotten wet. They were trying to demonstrate the full year from turning the soil to planting to cultivating to harvest. We have two plows but only use one for a garden every so often.

@@GeigerFarm I don't think I saw any Massey anything there. But I wasn't looking either though

@@iafarmer there was a 6601 over here for sale a while ago. I should have bought it

@@ashleythompson5550 hey how's it going? Yeah they had a lot of fenders there

@@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh thanks Tony

Well I guess I just didn't look at the gauge soon enough. Thanks for watching

Yeah I think they'll be around till October at least.

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin it's the new antiques apparently

@@Hinesfarm-Indiana thanks

@@rustyoldmicrofarm4673 The lawn mower plowing or the guy with the windrower? That was a pull type windrower. Obviously the wheat was dry enough to just direct cut it and skip the windrowing but they did it for demonstration purposes.

It's nice to be able to put it up when it's still got some color to it.

Good afternoon Ed

@@curtiswolf313 good afternoon Curtis.

@@michiganhay7844 that laid there 3 days. Some others I cut later laid there a week. The humidity was high and cloudy every day with no wind. Usually we get a window of dry sunny weather. We will see if there's a fourth. That can get kinda late to where it doesn't dry very well.

Just a little difference in the growing season between us. That even got rained on but shortly after I cut it.

@@GeigerFarm lots of people stacked here. I think because it was a cheap way to put it up.

@@rustyoldmicrofarm4673 this got wet but it had just been cut. Another patch laid for a week before I got it rolled up. Humidity came in and cloudy days didn't help drying. I laid my last patch of third down Thursday. Maybe tomorrow I'll get it rolled up.

Some of those doves stay around here year round. I think they are a Eurasian type. Those thistles are supposed to be a biennial. I don't know how they were able to complete their whole life cycle in one summer. That'll be a pain now. Maybe I should have planted it to corn for a year to get it cleaned up. Oh well. Dove season starts September 1st

I'm just going to say every flower seed grew.

Yep. There's plenty of that around

Well maybe I better go pick them up

This is 283 bucks an acre. The seeding costs and site prep was cost shared 50%. I don't remember what all that crap cost me but it was plenty for a weed patch

We used to go out hunting after school on the way home. They loved gravel pits. It seems to make pretty good hay if it doesn't get too coarse. Last year that stuff struggled to get above your belt.

@@AgWildNebraska patches of hemp along a creek or pond is where we found most around here.

Thanks. I still have some shrubs to plant next spring and just got to keep those thistles out of there.

Well last year it was all brome and a few trees. That was CRP for at least 20 years before that. So those button weed seeds have been laying there a while. I think there's some little tiny grass out there that grew. If ever there were a year to seed warm season grasses like that it was this year with the moisture we've had. We'll see what it looks like next year.

@@AgWildNebraska 🤞

I don't know how to run one of those

@@AgWildNebraska check out a library book

@@briankoepke205 I don't have a library card

@@AgWildNebraskaGoogle 🤷‍♂️

My neighbor works on them. He sends me cool videos of the innards and views from way up there.

Yeah they're going to be all stem and green till Halloween. The show was pretty cool. I read somewhere it was the largest turnout ever, 15,000 people. We got there a pretty good time but the last half mile took us 20 minutes to travel. Parking lot was just about full.

@@curtiswolf313 so far. We could use a drink soon. Hopefully they don't burn up like last year. They keep going down in price too

Yeah we could use the rain though. Maybe tonight but it kind of looks like it's going to go south. I had that old tractor pretty well sealed up and no leaks to make messes but if nothing else it should be real well polished under there LOL.

It doesn't make a bad raking tractor. The best thing about it is the air conditioner works really really well.

Wrong

@@AgWildNebraska cmon man good times

We've had lots of chances of rain but really haven't had anything since about the 29th. Got some pretty good third cutting alfalfa put up and have some more to cut down. Thanks for stopping by and nice shoes by the way.

@@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh Yeah it doesn't look too bad but man we could use another rain believe it or not.

Well it got the water draining

@@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh thank you, Tony. We could use some of your rain if you could get it up here somehow. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad for you.

Yeah it did a pretty good job. Probably won't even have to fan that if I drill some of it

@@j.t.theagguy thanks

@@mattwilkinson8502 pretty good this year

Fifteen foot. Concave tight as it goes. Wind I will check

Thanks. What does it weigh?

@@darrenbauer9596 test weight is 36- 37

@@darrenbauer9596 fan 980 cylinder about the same. 36-37 lb test 11% moisture

Thanks man

@@rustyoldmicrofarm4673 I read Cheerios has traces of Roundup in it. I don't know why unless they spray the oats to get it to dry down evenly. I would think my way is better than that. Maybe it's too obsolete for them. Anyway it works good. It's just another piece of equipment to have. We got 3/4 inch of rain yesterday morning so the straw got washed off. They say rained on straw is more absorbent. The waxy layer gets washed off. I don't know.

@@AgWildNebraska My JD square baler had trouble picking up oat straw because it was so slippery. I would build up under the auger, then shove a big chunk in the bale chamber at once.

To light of windrow maybe? I don't know. I'm just guessing. I don't know anything about square bathers so

@@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693it was a good year for oats for sure. lots of guys make hay out of it. there's not much of a market for it anymore. Thank you for taking the time to watch

@@briankoepke205 you know where I live

@@AgWildNebraska I need directions

3/4 in of rain this morning. So perfect timing huh?. The straw got washed but they say that makes better straw when it's been rained on

Well there was a couple spots where the oats didn't do too well. I think that was possibly herbicide carry over yet on a couple sandy spots but for the most part it did pretty good.

@@martinbenton742 probably a hundred or so. I think that's pretty good for planting a bushel and a half and not much nitrogen

Most that's grown here is made into hay. Years ago everyone grew oats.

@@AgWildNebraska yeah my dad said they grew oats when when he was a kid

@@Hinesfarm-IndianaWhen everyone had hogs and needed the straw. We ended up with 3/4 of an inch of rain this morning so I guess we got that combined just in time.

@@AgWildNebraska good deal
