Planting our our new Hay Field with a custom Grass Mix

[@richardperry9095]

The field looks good. Hope you get a drizzly rain to get it to grow. Now go to work...[just kidding]. Hope your work schedule slows down soon, I miss the videos.

[@Tonetwisters]

Amen, Nole brother ... Evan seems to be getting the hang of it regards this hayfield. BTW: you might like Field Rows channel, from maybe 100 miles northwest of Tallahassee ... And man, do we need a quarterback.

[@douglaskerr6813]

Hey Evan you want it to rain? Wash the tractor and the truck and the car it always happens .lol

[@augustreil]

Always a great video. Thumbs up Evan !

[@Tomhohenadel]

The seed coverage was impressive. Let’s pray for good germination. That field will be a bonus for your hay harvest and farm income. Thanks Evan.

[@allenferry9632]

Next time you plant seed go mow a hay field. That should make it rain for a week.

[@connslvr]

This only works if you’re legitimately trying to make hay, but it works like a charm.

[@arlodewald5378]

You look very happy with a job well done.👏 😀 😊 ☺ 😄

[@pawlowskioutdoors5065]

Would love to hear how the hay turned out after this. We’re looking at adding 3-4 acres to our horse pasture and have similar equipment available to lay down grass seed. Thanks and awesome video!

Nice T-Shirt! I have one just like it. Silva Brothers

Good morning from Grand Forks

[@earlgowdy7547]

I believe that you were pulling a roller packing the hay seed..you mentioned a cultipacker, they would have a set if cultivating teeth along with a packer

[@kennethperian4370]

Great job showing and telling, keep up the good work showing I’ll do mine like that to see ya next time see ya bye.

[@patriciabeyer7824]

That field looks pretty good. The old roller did a good job. 👍👍

[@vinnypinatelli221]

I love your Silva brothers construction shirt they are awesome contractors and I love this old house!!! True classic

[@larrywhitaker4667]

That old mixer that you got sure has paid for itself.

[@nicfrieler1305]

Clean Your cab filter now and blow out engine filters. I worked up My field and My filters were pretty much plugged full of dust and debris. Really enjoyed the drone footage. Hopefully Your long stretch of 12 hour work is almost over. Stay safe.

[@piggiesshadetreemechanics3657]

I'd bet Tom and Charlie Silva love you repping their shirt!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

I'm so glad to see you on the homestead!!! Glad your getting it seeded down!!!!! God bless you!

[@Tonetwisters]

Amen, to all that.

[@arlodewald5378]

Not too many people would have thought of a cement mixer for getting a uniform mix 🤔!

[@kentowens2179]

That new tractor is doing a great job! Nice video.

I enjoy ALL of your videos so much. Watching you and Rebekah build your future business from that old overgrown farm into what you have made it today has been very enjoyable ❤️ You two are so smart in doing this now, when you are still working full-time. It is the right way to go about it. I am 🙏🙏🙏 for rain for you. Thank you so much for sharing Corpus Christi TX

[@wandahunt5238]

Great job!!!

[@dpgoodall]

Is that a Silva Brothers shirt - as in Tommy Silva of This Old House fame?!?! You’ll have to send him one of your shirts!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

This summer has FLOWN by so fast that we're behind with canning. Hope to catch up this weekend. Also hoping your garden turned out well for your needs.

[@fayepfeifer8487]

Great job Evan…. Your hay field looks amazing!!

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

The field looks amazing. Well done!

[@arlodewald5378]

Well you have done your part very well, it now up to good old mother nature to do her part ! Very nice good looking field, rolling also will make it great for making hay will the 🌞 👍👍

[@duaneklein4924]

Nice job Evan. Our culipacker we used looked exactly like yours! That should make a good hay field. When you come off your hectic work schedule it will make you wonder how you got it all done! Give lots of credit to Rebekah! Love watching your videos and as always thanks for taking us along with you.

[@terrycastor8299]

You've done just about all there is to do, Evan. Now comes the hardest part of farming...waiting. Have an awesome and blessed day!

[@csnanny1882]

Looking good, pray for rain.

As usual Evan great job, looks real neat Dave

[@jimmason5738]

Enjoying your videos here in Memphis.

[@dalanbronnenberg]

Love the old mixer; everyone needs one.

[@bobjoncas2814]

....good one, nice job, keep safe...

[@daneellchook3941]

So a trick for orchard grass is when you mix it with other seed you can not shake them together because orchard grass will separate it self from other seeds

[@donfenton9082]

Good job Evan.

[@bikerdad63]

The field looks great Evan and will look even better when the hay is growing.

[@keithrobinson1331]

I gotta tell ya Evan that is a great idea for mixing grass seed 😃👍

[@scottensley9964]

Jeezz Evan, You are rockin this field. Good Job.

[@juliomiranda-garcia2959]

Thanks for your videos my brother your are amazing you are very helpful

[@kellyjoyce2399]

I like the way you explain things. I'm impressed with the way you produce your videos. You explain you farming techniques so any man can comprehend and go out and plant hay. Great job.

[@harlonlantz4094]

Great job Evan, great job.Have a blessed day.👍👏🚜

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

I was just looking at your red wonder and thinking that it really deserves some TLC after a dusty workout! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

We used those V rollers to bust clay dirt clods that would dry as hard as rock, with concrete blocks setting in the holders on top.

[@oumadmike1]

Love This Old House and your channel!

[@bigbadsingledad]

Very well done. Great camera work. I learned a bit. Thanks. 😊

[@robertafazio3449]

This is a beautiful piece of land. Can't wait to see it green up! Also, noticed your shirt in the first half of the video, Silva Brothers! Big fan of TOH for over 30 years. Sure feeds some dreams of bigger, nice homes!

[@theElderberryFarmer]

I picked up on that too! Back in the day, the only way to get one of those shirts was to hire Silva Brothers Construction to do a job for you. I have always admired the quality of work that Tommy and his brothers did on TOH. You knew he was good when you'd see Norm treat him as a peer.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Evan, thank you for the video. I noticed you had a Silva brothers construction shirt on. Is this the Silva that was on this Old House? Have a great rest of your weekend.

[@teenagefarmer]

Great video seed spread looks great

Good video Evan, hope everything comes up fine.

Looks really Purdy earl, I'm praying you get the right amount of rain. Stay safe, and hope you're getting your veggies canned. 💙💛👍👍🚜

Very nice you said what type of grass you using

[@marshadodson9683]

I love your farm...brings back memories of childhood...my father used a mule to turn his fields...lol. No kidding...we loved that Ole mule. Good luck with the grass seed.

[@sarelvandermerwe3153]

nice job Bud... love to watch your vids..

[@arlodewald5378]

By the way nice looking pond , Hopefully that is part of your property . If it is like to see more of your property ? Thank you !

[@joannak4640]

The pond is on their property. It's three and a half acres. It you want to see it in relation to where the house is, go to his playlist and check out the log home cabin build. It shows the pond A LOT ❤️

[@leonardleveque3745]

I have a cultipacker that looks just like yours. The shaft rides in a wood block on each end. I inherited it, it was bought used for 2 dollars in the 50s,

[@georgedavidson1221]

I have mu dad’s old roller it has wood bearings also What type of wood is used ??

[@leonardleveque3745]

@@georgedavidson1221 the old guy that I inherited it from used white oak, I made one out of yellow pine, used 1 7/8 hole saw. I drilled a hole at an angle and put a grease zirt in the wood so I could grease it. It's been on about 10 trs.

[@ronaldclemons5520]

Awesome job. Your field is in excellent condition. Praying you get some good soaking rains now🙏🏻

[@gitatit4046]

Nice job! And I think you'll be a lot happier with the coverage that way as opposed to what you got with that big lime spreader. So like you say all you need now is a good drizzling rain to settle it in and get it to germinating. May god bless your work and make it productive. Those cows will love it.

[@comucall]

Field looking good Evan, you're going to get a Good crop, enjoying all your videos keep them coming.👍👍

I enjoy your attitude towards farming! I hope to start next year. Best of luck to you and yours!

[@robforbes2602]

Hi Evan. Your field looks good, you did a great job and now you need the rain. I am sure your hay will turn out good. You put a lot of work into it and now the waiting time. I enjoy your videos and looking forward to seeing a lot more.

[@jerrylong3580]

Keep us posted on the progress

[@joycemetheny8338]

Evan , you do a really good job with your editing, lots of different camera angles for us !

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Cant wait to see how it germinates looks like you have done a great job. I dont know if you do it but before washing I blow out the dust rad screens it helps to get cleaner prevents from plugging things up. Have a great day.

[@grannynjim6626]

Well done. The field looks fantastic. Fingers crossed that rain comes very soon, but I'm sure you're going to be very successful with hay this year. You deserve it.

[@allisonjael6863]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@jimcour291]

The field looks great Evan. Can you tell us the percentage of your seeds in your mix as well as why you chose the blend you made? I would find that very interesting

[@bornbyaqueen]

50 pounds of orchard grass, 50 pounds meadow fescue, 20 pounds of Timothy, 25 pounds of medium red clover

[@margaretbedwell58]

I don't know beans about farming but I do enjoy watching how y'all plan things out then execute them. This field looks marvelous. I hope you get a huge yield from your hard work. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed day.

[@richardlove4287]

How do you stop the birds and ants eating the non coated seed?

[@lcfarmer9352]

Watch your drydown on the clover when cutting next year. Will dry much slower than the grasses (in my experience).

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

I agree ! Clover is fine in a pasture mix but why in the world use it in a HAY mixture ? If you insist on a legume, alfalfa dries much faster than c lover for hay.

[@nickmastroianni5557]

Before washing, use the leaf blower to clean off most of the dust and blow out the radiator. I find the equipment cleans up pretty well with just the leaf blower and it is much quicker. Also, I use to drag a large section of chain link fence behind the tractor (with a log fastened across the top of fencing to hold it down) for smoothing the field and covering the seed. Worked well.

[@bevnelson3678]

Field looks awesome Even.
