Plowing corn ground

[@galen3406]

Watching from Oregon - in the 1970's I had a 6 - 20" bottom roll-over plow we used in heavy clay soil. Enjoy your videos!

[@electricitysucks5]

Oregon here too...

Hello from KY... Awesome watching the big equipment work Conley... My biggest tractor is a 140 hp new Holland..

[@leeforeman3656]

Fantastic video Conley. Ploughing looks like a relaxing satisfying job.👍

[@conleybanman]

That it is

Greets from Estonia, I watch your content often.

Watching from jodhpur Rajasthan India bro always enjoyed your work ❤❤🎉🎉

Lovely bit of soil there. Makes a change to see a bit of ploughing.

Watching From North Carolina Great Video

Hello everyone good vidéo conley

[@wildedog3967]

That plow's ability to reverse is impressive . What you got planned for that field ?

[@electricitysucks5]

Title is a dead giveaway.

[@wildedog3967]

It HAD corn in it , hence the title .@@electricitysucks5

[@conleybanman]

Correct gonna plant Rye-wheat to swath and bale for next year

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, Magic soils, new sub here, thanks for sharing

[@jamesneal2705]

Hey Conley, what are you going to plant in those fields. Will it be wheat? It is wheat planting time in Texas. How is the cotton doing?

[@conleybanman]

Yup we will plant wheat. And the cotton is decent for how hot and dry of a summer we’ve had

[@jimkavalier2831]

Hopefully dads renter drops off a chisel plow here tomorrow, 9410R, 9420R or a 9520RX for tractor, I've drained the fuel tank on 120 acres.... had 37% slip in 1st gear where they loaded trucks on the endrows, so 9% is good 👍

[@John-nc4bl]

I'd like to see a switch plow with more bottoms, at least 12 or 16 behind your JD.

[@andrewm6192]

How many acres of peanuts do you plant on your farm?

[@conleybanman]

Varies year to year but around 1,800 acres

[@paulrobberts1527]

Where is that farm

[@deannelson9565]

Good Lord I didn't know anybody was still using moldboards these days outside of the Dutch! Man we ditch those things 40 years ago up north. Definitely not the greatest thing on Earth for soil health but fun to watch. I'm assuming you guys have your reasons for doing it but damn are they slow.

[@conleybanman]

It’s definitely not as slow as they used to be. But for our soil it actually benefits a lot

[@deannelson9565]

@@conleybanman you can tell yourself that but you don't have a snowball's has chance of hell of backing it up! Any tillage is bad for the soil those microbes and fungus are not supposed to be exposed to the air and they die. Put on top of that it makes the soil highly susceptible to erosion and much more likely to get muddy and get you stuck the next time it rains because your top 6in are all screwed up and yeah tillage in any form is not good for the soil. Don't have to use as many herbicides and it'll dry out faster but then again if you're in a drought that's the last thing you want.

[@conleybanman]

I actually have lots of evidence to back it up. It actually reduces weeds by 60% and everywhere where we have plow our crop grows twice as good but we do still plant cover crops after plowing because our biggest concern is not erosion from water but from wind

[@deannelson9565]

@@conleybanman unfortunately for you pretty much all of science disagrees! There's a reason why John Deere just sent their last moldboard plow to a museum. Of course it's good for weeds that's the reason why I listed it but that's about the only thing it's good for. You get loose from soil for the first 6 to 10in and then you get a hardpan compaction layer below. Took us about three years to start seeing the benefits of not plowing it up anymore and then after we added a large dose of nightcrawlers that completely disintegrated our hardpan. Get a nice wet fall flood the Nightcrawler tunnels and then let winter expand and blow out the sidewalls with the ice shattering everything down to about 4 ft. But I'll guarantee you your soil biology is completely screwed up because they don't like exposure to sunlight and they don't like exposure to direct air.

[@John-nc4bl]

Rainfall over a period of time leeches the good nutrients down deeper below root zones and it is good to turn the soiil over and get them to the top again.@@conleybanman

Pulg name and money

[@wadewalker6231]

Do disc moldboard plows pull easier...?

[@conleybanman]

About the same

[@wadewalker6231]

@@conleybanman but don't you get a better soil inversion and movement with a disc plow..?

[@conleybanman]

The way these newer plows are designed they work just as good as a disk plow. They’ve really improved the designs

[@wadewalker6231]

@@conleybanman I would probably choose to use the disc plow because you can go a little deeper on a standard unit

[@conleybanman]

Well these can go 24” deep but we didn’t want to plow more than 14”
