Well at least you got a pretty good education on what grass you have and identify good luck

[@AJ_ghdhejsien]

Glad to hear you had a somewhat amicable resolution. You're right, it's probably going to be a better field than it was originally! And you still put a whole bunch of your own work into it with all that disking.

[@janelledowney]

Glad that an attempt is being made to make you whole again. Thank goodness the farmer was willing to help. In the future I'd put up gates separating the two fields as well as no trespassing signs specifically stating that your field is off limits to everyone including anyone who does business with your farmer.

[@131dyana]

You are blessed to have the deal made.

[@Bass2010]

Am glad everything worked out some what for you and the field looks good 👍

[@RockhillfarmYT]

[@Forest_Actual]

This is a good reason to put some lockable gates on your fields. Love your vids!

[@donlatimer5114]

Take a length chain link fencing and some chain to hook it onto the back of your disk , this should smooth out the ground when disking

[@jimputnam2044]

If you make the disks a little less aggressive on the last pass it is smoother.

[@Tomhohenadel]

Evan, you’re more patient than I would be. I would have called my lawyer and started a suit. I would certainly pass your experience on to other local farmers. God bless your patience

Need a culti packer, spring harrow or cultimulcher would be ideal for a hay seed bed. But a packer behind that disc would do ya well. Knock all those clumps right down.

[@stevemartinez6757]

I'm glad that it seems it's working out for you. Setbacks and delays are something that we have had to deal with on our property. Don't let it get you down. It will eventually come and work itself out. One thing that I have always thought regarding land/livestock is this. If it's "easy" then it probably isn't worth doing, otherwise there would be a lot more people doing it. I am "fighting a battle" right now just to get power and a well on my property for our future retirement place. The power company won't provide power for the camping trailer that we use on the weekends because "they don't want us living in it". Well we don't and wouldn't. We have a home that we live in and use the camping trailer on the weekends when we work on our property. I am having a well drilled so that we can tell the county that we need power for the well for "livestock and irrigation". My point in all of this is that setbacks and delays are just that. Do the extra work to resolve the reason for the setbacks and don't be in a hurry.

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Nice job 👍

[@crazyunclebob9063]

@County View Acres do you know anyone with old chain link fence can be used to dragged to leaving your grown

[@heritagevr4010]

What you held up is a maple tree seedling.

[@flvince]

cut one of those old power poles don't that u don't need, cut it to length and chain it behind the disk and that will smooth out your field, did that for many years

[@CountryViewAcres]

I actually have a used utility pole Nd thought of doing something similar to that.

[@brycekirby1567]

You may able to buy a drag or soil finisher cheap because most people notill

[@brucethomas3100]

[@davidwhite4474]

I wonder why you didn't plow this field then disked it . Makes a better seed bed .

[@randomcountrystuff7953]

I think the farmer was useing a brillon seeder to plant

[@salmonhunter7414]

We used to plant fall wheat with the grass seed to stop the weeds. Looks like you will get a bumper crop next year. Now you have some time to look for a baler. Or did you get one already?

[@CountryViewAcres]

I have an old new holland square baler. It is a wire baler. It will be a while till I get to try it out.

[@parkdigwig3447]

I saw your before shot...I would have disked it instead using the “planter” that you had. It looks better and hopefully you don’t have as many weeds as you did. Tractors have power steering?!? Since the only ones I’ve driven are as old or older than your Case, had no idea. Best of luck on your new field!

[@mdrobnson3912]

Lol I remember when we worked fields way larger than this with Jubilees and 8N's and finally upgraded to a 2000. Power steering??? Yeah, two arms and two hands and all the power you could muster!!! Buncha wimps! LOL My buddy stuck me in hydro shift texting and I was a duck outta water!! LOL Glad things are moving along though, farming is tough work even when you have the modern improvements, no need to make it miserably hard.

[@ntharp2270]

How long does it take for the soil not to register the herbicide any more?

[@philipirwin5286]

Turn the the chain harrow over to get the smoothest results.

[@CountryViewAcres]

It isnt a chain harrow it is a chisel harrow. I dont thing you can turn it over.

[@kitcarson1388]

Looks like the dirt will hold water better the way it is, rather than smooth.

[@larryslater307]

[@fancybrooks3156]

Glad things worked out to your satisfaction. It's too bad that agri-service company treated you the way that they did. Maybe they were expecting a lawsuit and were distancing themselves.

[@corydriver7634]

Since the field was killed off with herbicide wouldn’t that have killed any grasses that were there anyway? How is this field doing now that a year has passed?

[@CountryViewAcres]

We replanted in the fall of that year. And it is a good hay field thus year. Just did our 3rd cutting of hay.

[@corydriver7634]

Country View Acres I should have clarified, I meant wouldn’t the herbicide have killed any “weedy grasses” that were there as you seemed like you were concerned with the possibility of Johnson grass being presented before you disced the field. The herbicide should have killed that down to the roots.

[@CountryViewAcres]

@@corydriver7634 the herbicide didn't kill all if the weedy grasses. I had to disc the field several times and started all over

[@jpbaje]

Did the herbicide contain amino pyralid because thats not good it passes thru the animals system and into the manure which is known to kill crops/plants when people use it in their garden as either manure/ compost

[@maddog2771]

Drag some pipes behind the disc

Glad to see you and your farmer friends are on the same page sounds like he's a good guy,he may owe you some down the road take some of his advice if you need it for future in return for the mixup. Sounds like the guy that sprayed your field was probably his fault so he quit instead of being fired,if he would have stayed there guess how big his raises were gonna be.your a very good man!great videos too I just found your channel, and I hope you get 4 cuts next year

[@rt3box6tx74]

Disagree with your landscaper/farmer. Clods act as barriers to prevent washout during heavy rain events. I'm glad you got this in your rear view mirror Evan. Sounds like you got a decent outcome. Hopefully your grass comes up to a good stand. Wish you would have bought your fertilizer from another company though. Those guys made back some of that money they paid for the hay bales, with profit from the fertilizer you bought. Like you said, not a perfect world. Pretty sad that the company owner did exactly what many of us told you would happen. That formula for dealing with PR problems is so universal, I now believe it's in an agricultural company policy manual they all use. Their word means nothing.

[@marksimonar1550]

Ok for 1 thing ? Are you following the same path for discing the field ?? Never work a field in the same way ! Work it 1 direction then work it another then Chris coss the fields in both directions !

[@tmorgan7939]

I hope that needing to work the soil with the disc MULTIPLE (6+) times does not harm the quality of the soil. Realize it is mostly clay but my experience is the more you till the less productive the field may be. Paying for the seed , some soil enhancments, hay and ? For sure is the absolute least the Agri Service company who sprayed should do in my opinion. The guy who conceded addtl offerings to you was probably "retired" . Too bad your land tenant is stuck in the middle. Hate lawyers but it sounds like that Company you are dealing with is not very reputable ...poor herbicide mgt s a bad problem to have on your land . Hope your Fall planting works out for you. Never a dull day !

[@ralphellsworth1019]

You were too easy on them, you put a lot of work in that field, not the farmer the other the other party. I had a similar situation one time, but it was my back yard. I live by railroad tracks, they spray for weeds, the machine they had was new and the boom was 17 feet longer then before, they wipe all most a 1/2 acre of my yard out, but I had to go to court over it. They come in and redid my back yard, took over two-and-a-half years but I get it done. God bless

You should really stay away from chemical farming. The inputs will break you. Try to do some regenerative farming. Little or no inputs, natural fertilization and the best part is no poisons on your land for your family to worry about. Good luck and find a better advisor

Imagine if you were working towards getting an organic accreditation and some fool 'accidently' sprayed your field with chemical herbicide. Now take into account to get that accreditation you now have to go back to scratch and work a further three years chemical free to get it.
