[@kopenhagenkid]

Nice looking canola field Mark

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mark

[@kopenhagenkid]

Awesome drone footage Mark

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mark - I agree with Ben Jenkins, the is awesome footage of the spraying of and footage of the canola field - Beautiful does not really begin to describe it, and I wish I had "smell-a-vision" on my computer so you could share the aroma with us as well. As always blessings to you, Sandi, and your family. May God bless your growing season with timely and appropriate rain, and may your harvest be plentiful in the fall.

[@rainbowsue2000]

Your fields are beautiful the red tractor stands out so nicely. Live your farm! So nice to see a family working together.

[@jackiefris5718]

Chill out Mark. You are over thinking and panicking. You have a wonderful family. I love how you all pitch in when things need doing. Wow finishing planting. Well done. Can you give us a talk on what happens now for the rest of the year. I love the drone footage.

[@tmfishingonabudget7486]

Absolutely beautiful seeing the canola bloomed. I'd bet that canola next to clover or alfalfa fields looks awesome in full bloom.

[@kens.3729]

Absolutely Enjoy the Drone footage. It gives us Viewers a Much Clearer Picture on the process. Thanks! 👍

[@GHMHomestead]

A field of liquid gold! Looks beautiful!!

[@meghanplamondon8639]

Mark your drone footage is just wonderful! Bravo on the canola harvest - it came in real well! ❤️❤️👍🚜🚜🌾

[@mandyycathy4233]

Hey Mark, LOVE your videos, so glad you are done with the planting. Please dont feel as though you repeat yourself, its always nice to explain for your fans who don't farm (like me) the DRONE footage is amazing! Hats off, wow such an incredible job. I look forward as you take us on your daily journey. Thank you!

[@tatyanastukov5266]

Thank you, thank you so much! Beautiful view, so enjoy your video! God bless you and your family!!!

[@ericathomsen1996]

You take some beautiful videos. Thank you for bringing us with you.

[@FeatheredLife]

Your canola looks great. We are almost done planting too. Field Corn, soybeans and oats. We have haying coming up within tge month. Plus 3 pastures to turn over and plant. Pasture land will alfalfa, peasof some sort, can't remember what kind, and mixed grain. Sheep are some times help on pastures.

[@JenkinsB]

Never thought I'd say this but epic spraying and canola footage!

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Great video! You are doing great work . Don't worry you will get it done. God bless you all.

[@Rowdymotmot]

I have been to the Alberta province when the Canola was in bloom. It was the most gorgeous site and the fields went on an on forever. It sure it a pretty thing. I love your drone footage. It is wonderful. I also enjoy the tractor rides and you explaining how the electronics work and how the tractor itself works. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.

[@freddeere5343]

Great video Mark mate lloks like you have a great crop production season ,...youre in great timeless position ...!!! cheers from Down-under !!

[@shannonhainline]

The canola is gorgeous!!! Well done Mark. Congrats on planting going so well and now to watch it grow and harvest all your hard work. Loving the videos and updates.

[@georgegoertzen4723]

You would think equipment manufacturers would have designed planters with bins to hold a reasonably large enough capacity of beans to plant fields of this size. It certainly appears as though there is lots of room for the bins to have been made quite a bit larger then they are.

[@heatherreckzin2183]

Stunning drone footage - especially the canola. May Mother Nature smile on your crops.

[@michaelzakrajshek6119]

Cool videos mark fun to watch

[@trudyeagan4336]

I am especially glad you took us into the canola field. I have never known what it looked like. It is beautiful. And big.

[@davidhaggart1579]

Hi Mark, Greetings from Scotland! Really enjoy your Vlogs, interesting and always well explained. I used to work on farms in the North East of Scotland (Angus) and we had been growing Canola (Oil Seed Rape) as they call it in Scotland since 1984. The crop has decreased in size since the early breeds that were at least 6 1|2 feet tall and used to lodge (lay down) quite often. I also used to work for a contractor (custom cutter) swathing rape for 3-4 weeks. I know swathing is common place in Canada but it was just about the only crop to be handled this way in the UK. This prevented the crop from being lost to high winds as the pods just have to look at wind and they shatter and made it easier to combine as it used to be such a bulky crop to cut with the smaller combines that used to be common place . However with the advent of the big capacity combines, the breeding of lower height varieties. sensible seed rates, the ability to spray on pod sealer,and the high cost of swathing it is hardly ever done now. The crop is ether left to die naturally or sprayed off with a desiccant for a quick even.combine Our yields were usually 2-2.5 ton\acre. It will be interesting to see your results when the time comes but your crop does look very good just now. Are you able to spray the crop off to die before cutting and are you spraying a sealer on.? Thanks

[@45ltr]

Carnegie by any chance

[@davidhaggart1579]

No J & I Reid, Tealing. Ran 2 Hesstons and a Bonhill

[@dimduk]

I wish they grew canola around here, that is a beautiful field. It will be interesting to watch you harvest all these different crops. If I farmed I would be a grain farmer, your wife works very hard all year long.

[@nesandhiller5323]

Really enjoyed the drone footage, and the music....really enjoyed that as well! Congratulations on all the things - end of planting, epic canola, perfect timing with spraying, being ahead of schedule, etc.

[@roadrunnercrazy]

Mmmm...dill pickle chips are the best!🤤

[@deborrahdutra5599]

Your canola field is beautiful

[@debbiemacy3840]

The canola field looks beautiful. Congratulations on finishing the planting. Best wishes for great crops!

[@troypatton7791]

You have beautiful fields Mark!! Great example of ag management at its best!!

[@piggiesparadise1991]

U r truly blessed Mark, your farm is stunning and u have an amazing family also xxx

[@larryshedd5734]

Great job and video Mr Mark. It's been pouring here for 2 ND day. But still working.

[@helenhodge-croom9635]

love the drone footage! since it's been explained before I actuly caught where the planter stopped while you turned and then started again! I wouldn't mind doing stones for a day....just the heat would kill me though😕

[@darpub]

How heavy are the rollers?

[@kellwood1404]

Love the drone footage at 11:00, especially from behind the tractor/rows, side of tractor as you were seeding. The footage at 14:10 and the canola spraying and at altitude. Congrats.

[@debrabergeron3184]

The canola is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@robinwhitlatch4497]

Beautiful Canola field! Congrats on finishing planting. Hope mother nature cooperates so crops do well for you this year.

[@ronsims3035]

There's an Old Sayin in Kentucky!!!! Farming Never Stops it's Year Round!!!!

[@flemmingnielsen5989]

Canola looks great. What a deference between fall and spring seeded canola our spring seeded canola is just coming out of the ground. Greetings from Sask.🇨🇦

[@sheronnacollier1713]

Good job love the show

[@lindadickert4645]

Beautiful

[@sammysko8273]

Nice canola crop.

[@maeellis518]

Nice music 🎶

[@robertlafollette8931]

Mark that canola field is beautiful, I have never seen canola growing. Thanks for sharing this. God Bless.

[@apex-td5th]

canola field looks great Mark. Hoping for a great harvest. Chips pepperettes and soda, diet of champions.

[@j1mmusj4mmus]

My college has just celebrated planting a crop with no man hours on a tractor, fully automated cultivation and planting operations. You have successfully planted a large area with minimal hours. I have planted the vegetable patch my father used to cultivate. I am a first generation veg gardener, man hours per area planted not looking great though. Nice video.👍

[@meghanplamondon8639]

My gosh you have a ton of land! That’s a lot of work! You’re doing a great job!❤️❤️👍👍🚜🚜🌾

[@condod414]

Great drone footage Mark. Thank you for sharing.

[@brianhubbard6423]

And that's a field of gold. God bless.

[@MagdaRantanplan]

Congrats on finishing planting 2020. Those drone shots where really good. I love to see and smell the canola flowers. The yellow is amazing to look at and it is the first color of spring for us here in germany. In the outskirts of my city are quite a few Canola fields and this year the canola started flowering early april for us. And we get canola honey from a local beekeeper friend, wich just tastes amazing.

[@mikeroberts1761]

WOW the Canola is beautiful.....

[@-sstevens5444]

Excellent info and footage. Question. If all the machinery is automated until the turns, what do you do down the rows? Audio books, games, phone conferences..... ?

[@ginacardarelli4877]

Love the drone footage and you both always pick awesome music to go along with it

[@f3n1xplat3ad0]

The drone shots and the music, epic. Great job!

[@stollvondeining9485]

Hi Mark, that`s a very interessting video. I enjoyed it. Greets from bavaria, Thomas

[@GS-st9ns]

This is the first time I have ever seen you show, Mark. This is so cool now I see where all the heavy equipment comes from. Whose idea was it to name your tractor the Joker? That is so unique. They should all have names

[@lindamoore691]

Great video ! 😀 Congrats on finishing your bean planting and WOW the canola looks great !

[@jamesmoon1841]

Canola looks good. Hope you get enough rain for the rest of your crops.

[@kimnisley2563]

There are always breakdowns. A farmers job is never done. Thank you for sharing.

[@agridome]

Stones....,interesting.....not a concern here near Dresden

[@desireewilson7732]

One of our local farmers planted canola and I would wonder what crop that was every time I drove past it. I must not have been the only one wondering because a few weeks later little signs popped up all along the field with "IT IS CANOLA" printed on them🤣

[@tinajackson944]

Great drone footage! Can you explain/show what canola is. Are there seeds that grow out of the flowers or are there pods? I am guessing there are seeds that get pureed into canola oil. Please explain...thanks

[@LeFloop]

Where can you market your canola through in MW Ontario? Glad to see you guys finished, we were done the same day with our last beans, then I rolled and picked on the 27th still in that heat wave lol

[@robynmorris2408]

Beautiful drone coverage and canola fields!!! Do you loose any acreage where the wheel tracks are? I think that the Jokering did a real good job on the corn stubble. Glad you are done seeding and planting for 2020. Now May the rains come at the “right” times. Great video Mark, thank you for sharing and the knowledge you impart.

[@Wingedheart8448]

At my grandmother's cottage there was a farmers field that would be full of corn. I found that getting through the corn would be tightly spaced but after a few rows there would be a lane that was easily walked through, but it would get bigger around curves. Is this the separation of the headlands and the regular field? Is there some double planting where the headlands and field meet? With spraying Does the sprayer have smaller nozzles as they go farther out on the wings of the sprayer or are they the same? Does the configuration of the sprayer is like a airplane so that the wind will carry the chemicals farther behind the sprayer? Do you use your GPS with the sprayer to make sure you cover all the field but don't double dip? How much wind does it take for the spayer to become unable to use? If you spray while windy could it be carried off to another farm and not touch yours? FYI Loved the yellow flower field!

[@wlewis6762]

Hi Mark, Hope your day is going well! Rest of course and later consume your favorite beverage. Im just wondering does the Canola typically get that tall? Never planted or worked with it.

[@TK-rf9th]

Will you be adding Beekeeper to your Resume now due to the Canola?

[@rvhome5599]

Mark Not sure about the laws in Ontario , but here in Manitoba if your children get injured on the farm because of lack of safety devices like PTO shields or Augers, your Farm will be charged in the courts and heavy fines or even Jail time possible. How do I know, well for a few years not long ago I hauled grain from MB farms to the US, well this farmers child lost his foot in a grain auger , he had removed the safety shield earlier, so he told me about the law and he had to go to court now and was not sure what happen to him or the farm. Just a friendly heads up

[@CarverEngraver]

Very good ... You’re pretty good with that drone Mark .. 😂🤣

[@jamesdcushman635]

Great footage, great editing, is your roller filled with anything to add weight like an oil or steel shot?

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

It’s never ending isn’t it

[@pseggons9512]

Your diet will not sustain the work rate you are expecting of your body to achieve. Yes time is short BUT at least eat some fruit.... the ultimate fast food, no prep needed. It took me years to get there but it does work. Keep at it Mark, great vids. End of lecture.

[@georgegoertzen4723]

Correction, larger hoppers, not bins. Why do you need to spray for a fungus, may I ask, as it looks like a beautiful crop is well underway? What is the difference (could you post a video with images of with and without and address differences in costs/profits involved for those of us who think negative thoughts anytime we see sprayers on the fields) and is there any possible harm to the pollenators (my real concern) who are working hard to ensure you have a bumper crop of seeds, who do get sprayed with the fungicide in the process. You said that you needed to wait for the haze to burn off before spraying and yet, the earlier, the more hazy, if you will, the fewer the numbers of pollenators there would be on the field. Is there any planning on your part to try to spray outside the 10 am to 5 pm peek pollenators hours? I would think that just being wetted is going to cut that bee's day's productivity in half and I'm not concerned here for domestic bees but for native pollenators who have suffered greatly as crop producers have created larger and larger more ergonomic fields of monocultures, that are essentially deserts outside of the bonanza of the bloom of the crop, by tiling creeks and streams underground, the removal of fence lines and hedgerows as well as the spraying of ditches and roadsides for weed control. I can see that your farm still has it's wood lot, wind break and some hedge row so I am not only asking you about your practice specifically, but to you in your unique position as a leader of crop producers. Is there any awareness of the need for, or any consideration made to support these essential insects throughout the year? Walking through this beautiful field of canola, just a buzz with lots of natural pollenators, as well as domestic pollenators that you did not cultivate yourself (check out 'a Canadian Beekeeper', Ian Steppler of Steppler Farms in Manitoba) I would hope could make you aware of the needs of these insects, beyond your crop. What will they have for dinner tomorrow, if you will?

[@bigal2298]

Any special equipment needed to harvest canola, great videos Thanks stay safe

[@2009deerejohn]

Perhaps I wasn't paying attention and missed it but if I remember right last year you tool the planter off the fertilizer cart for edible beans I thought, are you planter with fertilizer this year?

[@bigrigger5617]

You also need a brew for a great lunch

[@LindaPoorman]

That canola sure is pretty

[@sammysko8273]

What kind of canola did you grow? I never heard of winter canola.

[@dejavuchicka]

How far away is your farthest field from your house? How many acres do you guys have again?

[@dougpeebles2383]

Will the canola be ready before the winter wheat to harvest or after it? Do you straight cut or swath it?

[@stevecoulup6858]

Is there weight put in the roller .

[@henryelceser]

Looks great! When you spray is the loss from the tires significant?

[@wendyrowland7787]

Is the fungicide a belt and braces operation?

[@brianocallaghan7716]

Does rolling the ground after planting cause compaction issues? Or is the area that you are covering mean it's spread out enough?

[@dannyfinch6700]

Your canola (OSR to us in England) is better than any crops grown over here 👍🏻

[@cathybrown5293]

You made the last row of planting very exciting! I have a dumb question about the canola and spraying.....do the tires of the sprayers always go in the same track? Are there canola plants there that are lost? :) The canola is beautiful when in flower! Thanks for a great video!

[@whankerakerill6293]

Your going to have to get a taller sprayer and platform shoes, nice work 👍

[@geshaun1]

Why don’t you save black beans that you harvest from previous years and replant them for the Next year? Or do you? Just wondering. I really enjoy you & Sandys channels.

[@amandavancpsti]

The trucking channel... they need to be treated with the fungicides and fertilizer before planting. Fresh harvest isn’t prepped for planting.

[@shopshop144]

Is the width of your rollers determined by the size of your tractor or your wallet? It seems in the era of 60' planters and 40' headers your rollers look like nothing.

[@trinityplate]

Congratulations on finishing your planting, I'm sure that's a weight off your shoulders, especially getting it done somewhat early

[@happygardener28]

Are those bare spots in your canola field from rocks?

[@morganhemingway5262]

What was that music... You guys always seem to find great music

[@Andaman1979999]

can you do a playlist on your experience/ results with the canola? Im in southeast PA near the Amish and that is definitely a crop not grown by us. Tobacco, alfalfa, corn wheat and soybeans i know something about but not canola. thx in advance

[@Aardvarkangus]

Sandi and you both have long to-do lists. Typical farming. It will all get done. Winter canola looks great.

[@haleroma719]

Love the music you choose. So Mark things do break when you are using them. Does that mean you are cursed. Apparently it seems you say that a lot to Sandi! Think of how she feels whenever you say that to her. Anyway on to my questions: you work so hard on hay, is that just for the sheep; the corn is sold for what is that eatable too? So from a income point of view, you make your income from the beans and corn? Do you harvest whole corn on the cob? Take care. (PS I wanted to email you privately, but I don’t see any email address. So anyway here goes, please read Sandi’s Instagram from Friday June 12th I felt “nervous” reading it. Take this and do with it as you may.). God bless you, the family and may you have a prosperous year in crops.☮️👍

[@jasonaarseth187]

Why do you not use John Deere tech

[@lericsun]

im addicted to watching honey bee vidoes as well as these farming videos and when u mentioned the conola is full of bees it made me think a good question. is there a local honey producer near you ? do you use them or someone to bring bees to your feilds? or do you just rely on wild bee's?

[@abdullahdeveci9648]

can you take videos of irrigation and irrigation of these fields thank you 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🌹🌹🌹🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[@cbboggs6459]

👍👍🌾

[@stepark3437]

best crop of rape I think I ever saw.first time I saw rape was back in late 70's and it was the first weekend of june. I had moved to alberta and couldn't figure out what the farmers where going to do with all the radishs. they then knew I was from Ontario.

[@geshaun1]

No ketchup Doritos? When I use to truck up in your neighborhood I loved to grab bags for home here in Ohio.
