That paddock couldnt have come up any better Matt. Can almost smell the dirt. Giving the crop the best chamce of success for a decent crop. 👍

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

LARGE flat fields; nice to work with, good lookin' dirt!!!!!!

[@General_Confusion]

It's a good thing that they make that planting computer really really really simple for you old farmers.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

I’ll say!!

[@williamsmith5514]

Praise God , in geraldton we have had over 25 mls of rain over night and today .

[@randallmidgley7589]

Mmmmm, very nice moisture dare I say it, the plants will thrive I feel. Good to see things moving along🤔😁

[@stakman78]

Holy sheep shit Dude, you have an old Chamberlain! What legends! Next I'll be seeing a Muir hill or county rocking along. Loving this channel. My dad burnt all our straw here in NEW ZEALAND when I was young, burning off and Dutch harrows are a big part of my childhood, and yes we had a county 964.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

Virtually no Muir Hills came here or Countys. Just about every farm had a Chamberlain at some stage though. Jeff

[@gregpope4366]

You drag fire harrows with a Belarus or Zetor. The Trusty Chamberlain is the next SLR Torana 😂

[@thejacksonbrothers]

😂, the chamberlains are very hard to burn, believe me we have tried😂

[@kopenhagenkid]

Awesome drone footage Matt

[@donmoreing2439]

Great vlog as per usual Matt. When we first started on our farming journey I dreamt of owning a Chamberlain one day. It never happened but great to see an Australian built tractor still earning its keep. Planting conditions look ideal so may all the hard work, planning and dedication be rewarded with a great 2023 crop.

[@fmerkl]

Here in Alberta , Canada , we use a fire bar with propane torches every 3 ft . never knew you grew Flax in Australia! Good Day From Canada! Frank

[@frednerks1407]

Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us I really enjoy your videos

[@Rogster559]

Never known a farmer who didn’t like to burn stuff ( even trying to clear a fence line without burning the fence down hopefully ) lol😂 next week’s lesson how to build a new fence and replace gates , love this vlog great variation all the best from Tassie

[@thejacksonbrothers]

😂😂 funny because it’s so true

[@ewanstewart8011]

Great and varied content Matt, never a dull moment in your videos mate 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

yet again jacksons have shown me that I know so little about the world around me. Thank you all.

[@donturner6398]

Watching from British Columbia Canada. Very much enjoy watching all of you work together to get the job done. Thanks for showing us how our food is produced.

Great job spraying Matt

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Matt

[@95thousandroses]

Is so neat how yall are entering the cool season and here in the southern US we are starting to hit the hot humid days. Wish we could trade places.....

[@gjn71]

So miss the good old days burning off I enjoyed doing that using the same tractor u got here but the aircon was working

[@rodrod383]

Peter Jackson and Sons Channel is cranking out the great content lately.....which brother looked in the new mirror on the sprayer and broke it?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Combined effort I think😂

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job treating seed Phil

Steiger looks awesome pulling the Boss planter ...makes easy work of it 👌

Glad things are going well for you and praying that all goes well

[@geraldfrench3287]

Thanks for the video. Fire harrowing is good until the hairs on the back of your neck start to get hot.Soon change direction then.hahaha.

[@carlbarker6073]

Really love the channel. You and the family are doing an amazing job. All the best for a coming season. Lets pray for amazing prices and great weather.

Thanks for the info on the harrow burn. WOW

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks John! Yep trifluralin and gramoxone👍

Mate, where is this? Love your video's by the way..

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Cheers! Located near Moree in northern NSW😁

[@andydelarue9344]

Didn’t the framer federation say years ago the burning paddocks was so wrong on many fronts

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Not the first choice but linseed stubble knocked over by flood waters makes it nearly impossible to plant into it 👍

[@williammurfin6354]

Love your Carbon/ capture storage method. Matt, with spraying isn't there a time period between when you spray and when you can plant on the same lot of sprayed land????

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate! With certain chemicals that’s the case, with this one you have to incorporate it in the soil within a few hours so you plant after it to incorporate it👍

[@johnwarwick4105]

Hi Matt interesting video! I am a little confused as you are spraying what looks like a “pre emergence” spray before planting then disturbing the soil. In the uk they spray in the few days after planting and it forms a barrier over the weed seeds

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi John, this pre emergent needs to be incorporated into the soil👍😁

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

Easy fix, just rip out an old bearing retainer and put it in the one that went missing!

[@robkent6321]

Enjoy your vlogs- total fire ban on in Alberta Canada so big fines for burning here. Why have you left random trees out in you 500 hectare field?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks! Bit of a headache here with land clearing laws👍

[@shaynelansdown5947]

Mat looks like the weighbridge doesn't get used

[@thejacksonbrothers]

She gets used regularly😁

[@insAneTunA]

I absolutely love experiments. I would love to see an experiment with activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a very good and very long lasting addition for the soil in multiple ways. The most important factors are water retention and it forms an excellent habitat for the beneficial aerobic organisms. Aerobic organisms convert nitrogen from the air into a form of nitrogen that is a nutrient for plants. Because it has such a long lasting effect it doesn't need to be applied all at once or every single season. But I would love to see a real life experiment so that it can be properly compared with the yields from a strip of land that didn't get the activated charcoal. I am doing my own experiments with my small scale backyard aquaponics system. I grow food without any soil at all. My food grows in a lava rock media, and the nutrients for the plants that I grow come from fish waste that is provided by the fish in my small pond. And I pump the water from my pond through the lava rock media, and when the water reaches a certain level a siphon drains all the water back into the fish pond. My point is that the aerobic bacteria convert the fish waste, and nitrogen from the air, into plant available nutrients. That is the ONLY nutrient source for the plants. Aerobic bacteria are the most important factor to grow food, no matter if it is in the soil, or an aquatic grow system. Sand is just a habitat for micro organisms, without the aerobic micro organisms nothing would grow, no matter how much nutrients that you would pump into the grow media. The amount of yield from a strip of land directly correlates with the amount and diversity of the aerobic micro organisms. The amount and diversity from the aerobic micro organisms are the bottleneck in any grow system. You will have more profit when you are able to increase the amount and biodiversity from the aerobic microorganisms in the soil.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

It’s all certainly very interesting!

[@insAneTunA]

@@thejacksonbrothers Dr. Elaine Ingham can explain the science behind the aerobic microorganisms much better as I can, she is an academic and I am not, and she did all the research and she has all the scientific data. Her youtube channel is called, Dr. Elaine's soil food web school. If you are able to apply some of the things that she is teaching your profits will go up because the yields from the crops will increase, the crops will be less vulnerable for insects and diseases, and eventually you will have to spend less money on very expensive fertilizers. You have enough land for these type of experiments. 👍

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Have you always been grain farmers or did you transition from other forms of primary producers? Great content

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate, mainly grain farming👍

[@benc7044]

Hi Matt, why do you run singles not duals on Steiger ? Apologies if this has been covered already. Cheers Ben

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate, we usually use the Steiger in the rocky country which isn’t so good with duals as rocks can get caught between them and damage the tyres😁

[@benc7044]

What brew have you got in the tank. Spray seed. Do you put a sticker in?

Hi mate, that planter is a disc opener, there are pros and cons with each and ideally it would be great to have both! The disc planters can’t deep sow easily and don’t work well unless conditions are good, the tine planters are more of an all rounder👍
