Back to plowing

[@koryleague8833]

I dont know if you ever get it. But when i tell people guys farm sand they tell me im full of it. Nice ploughing great video. I love watching ploughing everyone around here is pretty much no till. Imagine being out there on a cabless tractor with a two bottom, made for a long day . Technology sure has come along way in a short time. Thanks for sharing

Haha yea I can’t imagine sittin in a cabless tractor gettin blown full of dust all day 😅

In North Queensland Australia there is a farmer that has sugar cane growing in paddocks that are mostly sand and he has the irrigation system automated, because all the crops need to be watered for 44 weeks a year.

[@conleybanman]

That’s a lot of watering

[@Dropbear237]

@@conleybanman yeah, his yield is at at least 1.5 times higher than most other cane farmers I know at about 180 tonnes to the hectare

My family farmed in the North Eastern wheatbelt of Western Australia until 1973. We still have relatives in the district. We owned 5,000 acres but these days, you need at least 10,000 acres to make a living growing wheat, canola, barley etc. not many sheep up there these days. We used stump jump disc ploughs, and used to go round and round anti clockwise. Rob Jones

[@hansgrehoner9847]

Question from Germany: Whatfor ploughing? You are loosing a lot of moisture from the soil.

[@darrenbauer9596]

Most likely to break up compaction to get a better seed bed. Also they are going at an angle to the rows, leveling off the field.

[@conleybanman]

Yes and not really for compaction our ground is so sandy and soft we actually have to repack the ground after plowing

[@CareFactor00]

@@conleybanman how come you don't no till?

[@conleybanman]

You have to for peanuts I explained it in my what we do after plowing video

[@earlyoung2863]

It's called a "dead furrow". Old timers like me learned to feather those out with the one way plows back then. It was a skill. But you STILL had a low spot, especially on flat ground. Before "switch plows", there were "rollover" plows with both left and right moldboards. I'll bet you've seen one. Switch plows tend to pull harder. There are only a few in my area. Less Peanuts, so not as much moldboarding here anymore. It's just good to see SOMEONE turning soil. Peanuts do great after cotton. But if you don't bury the stalls, the foreign material in your samples at harvest will kill your grades.

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea for sure it really hurts the grades. And we actually used to have one of those roll over plows didn’t use it much since we had these moldboard plows

[@earlyoung2863]

@@conleybanman Sometimes the switch plows leave little ribbons of trash exposed. Peanut plants are a LOT tougher than cotton. They'll usually recover from sand damage. I know people who make close to 6000# with NO tillage, but over the country, it seems like the people who PLOW have more consistent yields from year to year. Less weed issues. You sure learn a lot about your land when plowing. Contracts are good this year too!😎

[@conleybanman]

And that’s exactly why we have more peanuts than usual we like the contracts. Corn residue is one of the hardest to bury with plowing, cotton still works pretty good

[@Bare36]

@@conleybanman We (europe) mostly use reversible mouldboard plows,no till,strip till,minimum till,it seems, mostly do not work here,it has less yields. I did try few times,to plant corn without plowing,but it was bad. I use disc harrow instead mouldboard plough (there is no difference in yield) in late summer and autumn for canola,wheat and barley.

[@erictoole5980]

If you hooked to a set of plows that had never been used, and to a tractor that was intentionally unset, could you manually set those plows to level? No electric setting?

[@conleybanman]

To make the plow level everything is set manually there’s no electric settings so yes

[@davidfunk2927]

Have you tried calibration the Radar u can do in that little screen

[@conleybanman]

Yea we did do that but it still seems off. We might try again another day when we have more time probably when we hook these tractors up to the planters

[@mattphillips4260]

why do you not chisel plow or something a little less tillage to save from drying out ground have a look in the computer in that slow tractor at the tire size and see if the size matches what you have on it not sure if you have done that or not

[@conleybanman]

We’re wanting to bury the reside instead of just move the dirt around and as for drying out we have to irrigate everything so it’s not really gonna make a difference

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Why are you going to the expense of plowing and creating a defined HARD PAN. Have you considered cover crop using multi - culture species to build soil and break up hard pan.

Why do y'all plow?

[@LewPatton]

To get the ground prepared for the new crops.

[@conleybanman]

Yes and mainly for peanuts if we would have cotton on this field the upcoming year we would try to do minimum till. But for peanuts we like to have taller beds. And plowing also reduces weeds and volunteer cotton, peanuts don’t have that many chemicals that you can use to kill weeds

[@mustlovedogs272]

I recently bought a farm and I rent it out on a 25%/75% ratio of the yield. It is farmed no till. Two years ago we had soybeans. We got about $1.70 per bushel from the U.S. government due to the low price of soybeans caused by China buying elsewhere because they were angry about Trump making them have more fair trade deals. If it were plowed prior to planting instead of using no till would we still have been eligible to receive the $1.70 if we had plowed?

@@mustlovedogs272 is your ground considered highly erodible? If it is, you are to have a tillage plan to prevent erosion, and if you do tillage that causes erosion, you can lose out on Government payments. Some counties are stricter than others on this.

[@paulmccallum4229]

Why would you want to bury your plant residue?

[@mutlucankartal9524]

@@paulmccallum4229 because they dissolve into the soil and give minerals to it. Also it is harder to cultivate soil and sow in stubble. Plowing job burns so much diesel but does a few jobs together. We got used to do plowing after every sugarbeet, corn, sunflower harvest. My point was actually about the ploughs you guys use. We don't plow in this conditions, just cultivators, disc harrows, power harrows etc are enough to prepare seedbed. After a corn harvest for instance, we definitely plow and bury as much stubble as possible and such kind of ploughs are not good at burying stubble. You must have some other purpose or order of jobs Idk. Just curious about your strategy.
