[@johndudley8817]

Would like to see video of the twisted shovels in action. Looks like you will really work some dirt with these. Enjoy th vids, keep them coming.

[@Volfarmer]

Congratulations on all the awards! Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@TheCropCritic]

Thank you

Gidday Eric. That red soil reminds me of a lot of many places in Australia. Interesting video. Good job with your KZbin videos. They are really interesting. Thankyou. Regards from Michael Butler Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.🦘🦘🦘

Your very welcome my friend. I would love to come play in your sandbox with some cotton. That’s some of the finest cotton ground there is!!

I watched a video of yours a while back about trusting no one for your soil sampling. Makes sense now. I had one of those pro shops run my samples and found they are using mehlich 3 for everything in order to save time and labor on their side. Problem here is our soil is > 30 CEC so m3 falls apart especially for phosphorous. Reran the tests, m3 at least on our soil is about 2x higher than bray1. A fella would have a false sense of security. Later found out our great ag school here is Texas is also using mehlich 3. This year, staying with bray 1 for phosphorus and using a crop removal (including stalks) as a target. This is putting the farm at 40ppm and running some trials at 60ppm. Both tissue and yield. Good luck and thanks for stirring things up for us. We can use it to stay out of the rut.

[@TheCropCritic]

That’s awesome!

[@user-sw4dm1qj2x]

Nothing like seeing those deeres run across those fields

[@owensanford482]

That's some good looking dirt! You need a Red Dirt T-Shirt. Congrats on your Volunteers over The Hawkeye's.

[@TheCropCritic]

It’s red as red can get!!

[@mikehaas2380]

Boy the ripper does a wonderful job and you’re able to move right along to get acres knocked out! That VT implement is hard to beat! Happy New Year!

[@TheCropCritic]

Yes sir it’s a excellent tool! Happy New Year!

[@peanutsmith1462]

Man that tractor doesn’t even know it has a chisel plow behind it ……. Hope you’re family has a good happy new year

[@TheCropCritic]

Happy New Year!

[@JDP-801]

Thank you for the wonderful video. I love John Deere❤

[@TheCropCritic]

Your welcome!

[@user-yw3zt7ch3j]

Eric look up Richmond Brothers from Michigan. There ripper points last way longer then deere, are much cheaper and have a core.

[@TheCropCritic]

Will do. Thanks

[@zcole6612]

Happy new year, enjoy watching your videos and your hard work to help keep🇺🇲 AMERICA🇺🇲 moving. Just wondering what the latest news is on your service truck have you gotten it replaced and if and when you do can you do a video on the new design setup. Thanks again for your farm and your hard work. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR Crew.

[@TheCropCritic]

We haven’t replaced it yet. Something big in the works that we will unveil at a later time. I will definitely showcase it and thank you for watching our madness!

[@chrisdimiceli4057]

Thank you for responding to my comment, much appreciated, I will be looking forward to seeing what you have come up with for a service rigg, I'm sure it will be a awesome build with a lot of thaught into it, 👍🇺🇲👍✌️

[@danguritz2446]

Like your Chanel just found it best of luck.

[@TheCropCritic]

Thank you!

[@Markreimers-jq1cr]

Is that the safest way to get footage

[@Deere1050]

I see a V-shank behind it would it not worked even better?

[@garredsellers96]

You could almost plant behind the ripper as good of job as that rolling basket does

[@TheCropCritic]

That’s one of the reasons we switched to it other than inline rippers. We are busting all the compaction and allowing the soil to warm up in the spring while leaving the ground level.

[@greghargett7110]

With the twist plows, are you trying to churn the dirt to bury more trash? I know fertility gets on top and needs to be turned under so roots can get to it. Thought maybe that’s why you went with the twist plows. Excellent videos

[@TheCropCritic]

Not necessarily, just trying to bust up the ground as much as possible. Compaction is the #1 evil!

[@tonybrown737]

Happy New Year!!

[@TheCropCritic]

You too!

[@billsauberlich7337]

Have you ever used 360 yield ripper points?

[@TheCropCritic]

Yes I have I’m not a fan of them.

[@adamfisher6709]

I've tried asking all the KZbinrs I watch can't remember if I've already asked you but are you planning on attending the farm show up here in Louisville this coming February? Congratulations on your success this year look forward to watching next year.

[@TheCropCritic]

Yes we will be there. Maybe something special planned for there as well. Hope to see ya there!

[@sturdivantfarms444]

Where did u get that disc opener measuring tool?

[@TheCropCritic]

Our local dealer had them on sale.

[@joesteel1261]

Eric, what things can we do in the south in early winter to increase soybean yield?

[@TheCropCritic]

Exactly what we are doing in this video. Busting compaction and being patient.

[@eddygoodwin7089]

Do you ever run flail mowers over your corn stalks

[@TheCropCritic]

No. We have a Calmer Corn head.

[@buckeyefarmboy107]

What's your calcium base saturation percentage on that soil?

[@TheCropCritic]

3%

[@dcw1540]

Did you put basket on a 2700 ?😊

[@TheCropCritic]

No it was on it when I purchased it. It’s a Remlinger.

[@richardbrown3956]

Do you have any rocks?

[@TheCropCritic]

Yes in Tenneessee we do. We filmed this in Alabama.

[@TheCropCritic]

They were nice ones.

[@deweypowell2684]

Sounds like some bearing are going out

[@TheCropCritic]

No grease points on this tool other than the basket bearings. They get greased every day. Just the tool doing work!

[@deweypowell2684]

@TheCropCritic 10-4 it's definitely doing a good job Happy new year from the pickle capital of North Carolina

[@TheCropCritic]

Y’all too! Be safe !!

[@deweypowell2684]

@TheCropCritic I like that chisel plow I'm interested in seeing the difference in the twisted points compared to the regular ones aren't you

[@TheCropCritic]

The twisted ones are a lot better.
