Things change with time. I spent many hours plowing land that looked just like that between Littlefield and Muleshoe back in the early 60s. The John Deere I drove didn't have a heated cab, though; it used canvas to direct the heat from the engine towards the seat. Your video brought back some good memories. Thanks for the ride.

Nice job, buddy. I worked on the wheat fields for a summer in Western New South Wales, Australia. Long, long rows on an open tractor. 38°c. (100f) Very relaxing, but we had to watch out for sunburn! In those days, I used spring tined harrows.

That's not a modern plow, that's a piece of junk and would catch me dead running one. Look up Lemken roll over plows, now those are modern plows. Their biggest one is the Titan 18, 12 bottom plow. Lemken is not the only brand their is many more.

All those people are out of their minds, and they are not actually looking for alternatives. They just want to cause a crisis in the sector so they have an excuse to nationalize it. Textbook leftist tactic. It's what happened to college, it's what happened to healthcare. By the way i heard that the fda was considering banning the use of manure... During a fertilizer shortage because you know, fossil fuel is used for more than just energy. But is this true?

Looks like the soil in the field you were working varied quite a bit from one end to the other. Also, if your earth engaging replacement edges don’t all come from the same manufacturer, when they get in short supply, you might be more apt to get poor quality parts. Interesting video. Take care.

Conley, thanks for your excellent videos. That loose ground looks like easy plowing and I thinking if you added 3 or 4 more bottoms you could turn over more ground in a shorter time.

Have you noticed an increase in productivity by making that plow an 8 bottom now and how do you like it...? How many acres an hour can you now cover as opposed to before you made it an 8 bottom..?

[@conleybanman]

It gave us an extra acre in productivity per hour. We like it as far as being able to cover more acres but it seemed like it did a cleaner job without it. Somehow it pulls behind the tractor at a slightly different angle and I guess it makes a difference

@@conleybanman There was a farm in Iowa that utilizing cover cropping (2-7) simultaneously with your desired crop reduced watering needs as well as protecting the soil from wind and rain erosion. One of them they liked to use was daikon radish. The leaves make a great mulch, the tap roots break up hard pan and as the tap roots decay they help direct water in deeply. I don't remember what else they liked to use.

The number of armchair farmers making "I know better than you" comments here is humorous. Some people fail to consider the different crops, locations, and conditions require different techniques in order to farm efficiently and productively. So many people get on a "you must do it this way" bandwagon without fully understanding what they're talking about. Videos about moldboard plowing seem to get this crowd particularly stirred up. I guess they think that farming with chemicals is always better in every situation . . . Nice video here. It's neat seeing how different crops are grown compared to what we raise here on our farm in Kansas.
