Looks like a good place for a fish farm. It seems like you have the same luck I have if you wouldn’t have did the dugout it would probably be just as dry as the south farm. So good luck with the planting I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

[@ernestrollins383]

I’m sitting here trying to figure out why my sprayer is chiming like that sitting still filling up, but it’s your sprayer chiming. 😂

[@Northern_Farmer]

Same here..always lots of rain up north

[@NVMDSTEvil]

Mike you need a mud drill for getting where the big one wont. 24-36ft flexicoil on 12" spacing and open back shanks, 300bu or so cart pull-between with duals on it.

[@jd3893]

You should give us the rundown on what seeding deadlines are, how crop/hail insuance work, and what income/GARs insurance is and what your perspective on all that. 😀

I would buy a drone to get a bird's eye view of the field, make a plan, and plant the larger dry areas. Better to plant something than nothing...

[@gavinperry7237]

@George Jones Are you saying Mike has used a drone for some of his videos. If so I must have missed that since I thought he only shot video with his cell phone.

[@lanwickum]

That amount of water is amazing. I know a guy that bought land in North Central MT just to get away from to much moisture in Minnesota. A different world. I have NEVER seen to much moisture.

[@guzzimon61]

It is interesting the different soil types that in your area, standing water you wouldn't even try to drive through in other areas.

[@tylerkempf2902]

Mike you should do before and after with the light upgrade

[@koolman2021]

Holy wow that's crazy wet 😳 darn good luck trying to seed maybe hook both your big tractors to the drill ??

[@tony-the-tigerjohns3294]

It is too bad that you cannot average your rainfall across your two farms. There would be bumper crops all around.

[@carlfalt174]

Can tell it was real cold and wet with the small lime green leaves . Looks like terrible spring conditions

Mike. What a great environment for ducks.🤣🤣

[@saskfarmer8957]

Nice looking sprayer Mike

[@tractorfixrable]

Somewhere between the north farm and south farm. The conditions are perfect

[@pietoosterhof5901]

Heck there's a whole lot of water over there holly cow.🤔

[@bigdawg210]

We were very similar here in north western Alberta, had everyone running around on quads making ditches to try and get the water moving

[@lllllRBlllll]

Our STX came with xenon lights on the back and I like them a lot better than the LEDS. They seem to cut through the dust better.

[@jandcco]

Oh Mike to be so young, I remember when halogen lights came out and wow what an up grade!!! oh yea back in the day - spaying sucked back then too!!!

[@max-jc4wq]

you need to get your brothers crop duster up there. haha

[@bpaul1201awesome]

Well whatever crop you do manage to get in the ground up north should have a decent yield with all the rain there has been up there.

[@brandonm6052]

Having gotten my 4430 buried in a situation that showed no moisture issues during my days as a commercial applicator, this episode about made me throw up with nervousness in my stomach.

[@barryclark1257]

That land you have up north should be a pasture field

[@Northern_Farmer]

Would make nice hay

[@mlb3135]

If this were my field, I would consider pumping out some of those ponds ....

[@jackbannock3458]

That’s illegal

[@gerrytatarin2877]

Might try a 40 ft drill to get in and out of some spots !!

[@jackbannock3458]

So glad we had a 30ft with a smaller tank so seed with this year, still a mess though

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mike

[@snekkerenp8036]

You should consider putting tile through those water runs to drain the water below the surface instead of on top of it. Then you could be in the field easier and sooner.

[@nickm.1204]

Mike time to put thought into drainage. Investing in the dirt pays off way more then equipment

[@paulhardy7561]

Unbelievable how weather varies from district to district. So hope you can get a crop of something in. Mike I have a question, what is purple on GPS screen? Hope family doing well.

[@Northern_Farmer]

6 hours difference is a lot for weather

[@totaledmyGN]

Prediction: All Mike's equipment is going to be very dirty by the time seeding is over and it will be the least of his worries.

[@brianrutherford3681]

I think the best thing to do for this season is right off planting the north farm do to all the wet ground.if they keep getting a ton of rain then you stand a high chance of drowned out of the seeded acres.

[@jackbannock3458]

If you don’t seed you don’t get crop insurance

[@brianrutherford3681]

That is true.but on the other hand you only get a certain percentage of your expected crop.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

That sprayer was built about 30 miles west from me. In Benson mn. I'm pretty sure anyway. Also an Excavator as in a tracked backhoe and a big tile plow on tracts, plus a few thousand feet of plastic tile and you'd be surprised how fast it dries out. Pattern tiled every 50 ft and you could farm any lake as long as you have someplace else to send the water. Tile only takes the excess water tthat the soil can't hold. Southern Minnesota is tiled extensively.

[@wssides]

Have to have a place to move the water to that won't cause expensive problems for someone else.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

@@wssides water is everyones concern. If one is downhill of someone else, he or she is already dealing with it to some degree. Most water sheds have a creek or river that is public. Here in Minnesota, we have public ditches that serve the same purpose and are maintained by the public as well. There are public tile here as well. They are usually large tile like 10 inch or better. The landowners here usually use 4, 6 and 8 inch tile with the 4 and 6 inch tile usually spaced every 50 or 60 feet. But politically it is getting tougher to tile. From the 30s to the 60s it was drain and farm to feed the world. Now you can't because animals and fish are more important than people. Animals and fish don't pay any taxes but that's besides the point. The world we live in. And us farmers just have to roll with it and die when we're done.

[@bluefleet1655]

at how wet it is, you might have to put twin floaters on 4 corners of your sprayer just to be safe

[@1214101]

Could you just broadcast and scratch in the crop , there by being able to use more of the ground? I realize it wouldn’t be as accurate as a drill , but it might be quicker and able to get to those areas you can’t with a big drill.

[@thelyders]

You must have about six inches of top soil with bedrock under it. I wouldn’t have made it half a mile without getting stuck here in north central Montana.

[@mattphillips4260]

wish i was near you and could do it i would come and do the areas you do not spray i have a 750 john deere with 35 gallon boom sprayer with 25 foot booms with room to make them wider we could mix the spray up hot where i did not have to worry about mixing right and fill and go

[@martinharper5112]

Try a Cat D9 with a subsoiler to pan bust the depth, and get some water off the surface. Amazing the amount of land you have lost.

[@turnerg]

Mike i am surprised your north farm doesnt have drainage tiles considering it gets more moisture.

[@carlfalt174]

That country doesn't get enough rain most years to put tile in.

[@Northern_Farmer]

You don't really hear of tile up here

[@markmartens7817]

Tile is too expensive with the value of crops grown in the north country. It’s more cost effective to farm more land than put tile in.

[@churlburt8485]

will you clear out any of the tree lots and rows? Could you then dig ponds in the low areas, o do you get the big rains often enough to worry about flooding? Thx

Mike they spend millions down here moving dirt and leveling the fields for rice. I think you need to buy 4 of the big carts that move the dirt and level out all the low spots. Something else I was going to ask you, I went by a winter wheat field the other day, are you familiar with the rice heads for the combines? They were using them to cut winter wheat. From what I understand, these heads are fantastic. They’re baby blue in color, and I can’t remember the name, but there’s a lot of rice farmed that use them down here. It doesn’t have the real like a normal head does, instead the tops closed, I’m not sure how it cuts but it’s awesome from what I here. Have you looked at seeding by plane or helicopter?

@@briancarey3454 Thanks Brian from what I see in the winter wheat and rice fields, the rice and wheat is gone.
