Corn Planting 2022/Farmall 560 and John Deere 7000 Corn Planter

June 3rd, 2022. It's time to get our corn in the ground! Fieldwork 2022 continues and it's time to hook up Paul's Farmall 560 to our 4-row John Deere 7000 Corn Planter. This year our corn seed is from greenfield genetics and it's supposed to be drought-tolerant which is important on our sandy fields. Come along in the fields with Alan as he works to get our silage corn in the ground and growing.

That 560 sure brings back memories. Spent a lot of hrs running a 560D and 766D.

nice to see the old stuff working.

Do you use ferterlizer

[@trinitydairy]

Yes,

[@jakemagsamen8245]

@@trinitydairy alot or does the manure cover most of it

[@trinitydairy]

The manure covered the big field, about 25 acres, so that field will just get top dressed with nitrogen later, the fields that didn't get manure, got 100# of 19-19-19, in the row, and will also get top dressed later.

Hope you are feeling better Alan! Glad to hear y'all didn't get any damage, these storms and weather this year has been crazy!! Good to see you are getting your corn in!! Is the 560 still running well? Seems to do pretty good on the planter, enjoyed the camera angles too!! The high speed with the tunes at the end were nice, I love that tune! Thank you very much for bringing us along!! Look fed to more!!😁😁👍👍

[@allanvaneste9106]

An old Melcam stone picker would be a nice fit on your small farm. Good job for your up and coming operators.

The old equipment work just fine. Hi alan

[@Johndeerfan-s7z]

I love seeing the old equipment working in 2022 I'm a JD fan but love all the old tractors

[@matthewdavis4081]

Your 560 that you plant with reminds me of my great grandfather's oliver 880 that I just got put back together. It's narrow front and has a long hood just like your 560. Both are great tractors very useful for planting hay season and odd jobs around the farm. I appreciate the videos and you taking the time to bring the camera along so we can see alot of what you do on your dairy farm

[@ralphriddle8864]

very good job and God bless yall and pray for you

hope that your cold is getting better, on our farm it seems like we were repairing our machines daily once in awhile things went great we really enjoy all your videos

I go back to 50s when I started. Yeah, those were good days for me. So many things have changed, and not for the better... We've lost things we never should have allowed to.

I didn't sleep well the other night, every time i fell asleep, I'd dream I was planting oats! Corn will do better if the ground is warm! I'm an old timer, corn,56 lbs per bushel! Handled lots of bagged corn and fertilizer!

Very nice. I planted my first crop of corn ever this spring. I plan on grazing it.

Keep up the good work!

Nice planting video. Sorghum going in here soon. Never grew the stuff before, we'll see what it does.

[@trinitydairy]

Just planted, sorghum Sudan grass today, mixed it with some leftover millet seed I had, hope it turns out. Hope yours turns out too.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Love it!! I use my 560 too but mine is a wide front end. Hopefully no frost until Late October.

[@nightrider6769]

God I hope you got your fields all planted before this heat came cuz it's 90 and 70° dew points here in Central Minnesota brainerd area.

[@trinitydairy]

Planting sorghum Sudan grass today, but it isn't quite that hot here.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

​@@trinitydairy I remember flail chopping sorghum Sudan grass with an 88 Oliver on tiled ground. that grass must have been 7ft tall. I would have a full load after 50 ft. Ended up finishing the field in the silo before it got too old. For me it was an adventure

[@farmallchris]

Where is your gps unit at on that rig lol just joking hope all is going great always glad to see international footage

[@ziauddin7948]

good corn seed planting & using manure as fertilizer for Nitrogen supply to plants #💓

[@robertgriesbach9631]

Just wondering if all of your corn gets chopped why not use a more silage specific corn like bmr or a leafy, might help feed coast.

[@trinitydairy]

Sometimes I end up picking some of it, so I try to plant a dual purpose corn.

[@mattlundeen9358]

Closing in on 20k subscribers, way to go! Do you plant the same corn for picking and silage?

[@trinitydairy]

Usually we plant the same corn.

[@billcarlson1730]

The 86 day Greenfield corn is the same 86 day artesian corn from Kussmaul that was bought out by Legend seed. Same drought tolerance and a lot cheaper.

[@gotzcenturydairy2005]

That’s pretty sweet how much horsepower does that got. We had a couple of them now we have a 16 row and a 8 row Kenzie.

53 at the drawbar.

We are temporarily housing a couple horses. You are the first person to spot them.

I wonder which is the higher number: seeds per acre or rocks per acre?

Haha!

curious what do the pay for a gallon on milk at the dairy $4 .......we the north ...S

We get paid per hundred pounds of milk, right now we're getting around 20 dollars per hundred.

Y’all need a rock magnet😂🤔😘😘😘🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@mikec8519]

Why are the front tires of the tractor not running where the row marker made its furrow ?

[@trinitydairy]

I have it set so the marker line, runs right along side the rear tire. I can see it really good there.

[@farmerbill6855]

On a four row 7000 JD planter, the marker arms will not shorten enough to mark the center of the next pass. The arm will be so short, the angle off of the mainframe is too steep to work properly. So you set it to mark the opposite tire track on the next pass.

[@mennoreuten1563]

how many acres corn this year?Hoping for a good crop this season , feedprices are extreme overhere in the netherlands also are the milkprices but thats peanuts compared to fuel and fertilizer prices, anyways thanks for the video and have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@trinitydairy]

We have about 40 acres of corn this year.

[@mennoreuten1563]

Oké, is it all for silage?

[@trinitydairy]

It will probably be all for silage, I might pick some ear corn, if I have extra.

[@mennoreuten1563]

Thanks for the reply

[@joshuagolombeski6133]

Have you guys though about bending corn/ forage surghum in the boxes

[@trinitydairy]

I've thought of it, but we use Roundup, for weed control, and I don't think they make a Roundup tolerant sorghum, but I could be wrong.

It’s nice to see small farms and planting. Not these mega planters 16 - 30 rows at time and loaded with sensors, won’t plant until you correct the problem which isn’t easy to find. See millennial farmer videos.

[@bruceprentice6441]

What row width do you plant? I used to plant 30,000 seeds per acre on 36” rows for my silage corn. This year only planting grain corn, hired it done on 30” rows so it will match up with the combine. When we talk seed here, not so much days, but heat units. Grain corn is 2750 heat unit variety, probably a 90 day corn. RR corn, cost me $310.00 CDN/bag. What did yours cost?

[@trinitydairy]

We plant 30in rows. This was 190.00 a bag.

[@dennistembreull2718]

Were you driving in the center of the marker or on the side of it

[@trinitydairy]

I run the mark, right inside the rear tire.

[@raprock5000]

Hi Alan no Kussmaul seed corn this year ?

[@trinitydairy]

It's the same seed, just a different bag, Kussmaul sold out Last year.

[@raprock5000]

@@trinitydairy Oh I see. Well that looked like nice seed you just dumped in this year. I actually bought a bag of Kussmaul a couple years ago for a food plot and it had good ears for a 84 day corn. I'm interested to see how yours does. It should be good with all the natural fertilizer you had injected...👌🇺🇲

Is that a different planter than you had last year Alan?

Nope, same one

[@johnnyholland8765]

That is some hilly country. Do you have any erosion trouble and have you ever planted by the contour?

[@trinitydairy]

The erosion usually isn't to bad, we've never planted by the contour, we have such small fields, and knobby hills, I don't know how well it would work. I am thinking about planting more winter rye, to help with the erosion.

[@johnnyholland8765]

@@trinitydairy I also have land that I try to keep something growing on year round for erosion too. Rye or even thick planted oats will work. Anything with a thick root mass is good.

[@ericteipen]

Why on Earth are you still on wide rows? I'd have to fix the markers on that planter. Having to lean over all the time would suck, makes my neck stiff just watching you.

[@trinitydairy]

I didn't know 30 inch rows were wide! Markers work good for me!
