Cultivating Silver Queen Sweet Corn

[@tommynorwood5184]

Hi Joey , it’s time to get busy. Great video as usual. I do like the shots from under the tractor 🚜. Thanks for sharing. Have a good day.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Tommy Thank you sir . I enjoy them. Unfortunately they have a lot of gear noise with them. Lol

[@rorywilliams7706]

Did my corn today, too, well I don't know when you did yours, but mine was today. Thank you for sharing God's love to the KZbin world!

[@Jtwes]

Hey Roy Hope it does good for you.

My cousin said they used to plant in the furrow. He said they ran disks the first time they cultivated and turned them away from the corn to throw dirt out. Then once it was tall enough they ran it toward the corn and threw it to them.

[@Jtwes]

Kinda what I had in mind.

[@carlcapell605]

@@Jtwes flip sides with those rollers and pull the dirt away and come back next week and pull it back is the ticket. I use a single disc that I modified to flip around but I found a couple of rollers that I am sure would work better. Love to watch those little tractors work…..looks good clean toooooo 🧡😜

Silver Queen was the only sweet corn my grandparents grew. They were farmers and grandpa would have up to 3 spots out in the corn fields that was nothing but sweet corn. That's not counting to the corn he had in the garden. He would usually plant 3-4 rows then wait a week, plant another 3-4 rows, wait another week. He'd do that and have corn all summer long. They were obsessed with their tomatoes, onions, beats, and green beans. Guess I can say those were the best days of my life.

[@Jtwes]

I know what you’re saying for sure. A lot simpler times also.

[@dylanhockaday9878]

I all ways love watching the rolling cultivation work and I also added a 100 to my fleet this week

[@Jtwes]

Congratulations. I’ve always liked a 100

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Great job guys it seems funny seeing you just cultivating your corn and mine is 9 ft tall. It's hard to believe theres that much difference between where we live. Oh yeah love you giving the Farmall the bath.

[@Jtwes]

Probably somewhere about Ohio there just thinking about planting sweetcorn.

[@48cub]

@Jtwes You would be correct. Mine has been in the ground a week. 1 hour east of Cincinnati.

[@markplowboygreen1295]

Enjoyed the video . As always Hope y’all have good Mothers Day . Thank you for always mentioning Christ .

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Mark hope you all have a Happy Mother’s Day.

[@perrywollam8981]

Where we live is the same on corn plant as soon as you can. First planting this year was February 22. That corn is filling ears now

[@Jtwes]

Oh wow your definitely south of me.

[@vacone1]

I always appreciate you reminding us about Gods Love. Love being defined as visible evidence. I remind city folk around me always whining Is God real? Every planting season God gives 1 kernel of corn, we plant it and thru germination life comes from no life. Reminder of Easter and proof of Gods existence. Then thru Gods Love and abundance we grow and receive thru faith and Gods gift of water from heaven, between 800 to 1200 kernels of corn ( 2 ears ) . Nothing or no man science has ever approached this blessing.

[@Jtwes]

Amen David

Enjoyed this Joey! Tell your son he is doing great with the videography. I’m super impressed. (Does he want to come film us?😅)

[@Jtwes]

Hey Meredith We’ll I would be glade to lone him out for a ride on LBs horse. Lol 😂

[@russellbarron6775]

New subscriber, fierst tie to comment. I live in Harnett county, southeast of Raleigh. Anyway, thanks for dping the videos. Beautiful place you have there. Have a blessed day.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You Russell and welcome to the Channel.

[@bobbyscott8024]

Looks good Joey and great job filming as always!

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Bobby

[@kylewatkins3946]

Great video Joey. I had the same problem with my incredible and golden queen corn having to replant, but my poor stand had to do with rabbits deer and some cold weather with too much rain. My corn is coming along but very inconsistent. Good luck to you and can't wait until it gets tall!

[@Jtwes]

Hey Kyle Can’t wait to show you the Jimmy Red replant. We’ll talk about temperature on that video.

[@Railfan90]

Looks good Joey. Noticed the first of my Hastings starting to poke up yesterday here.

[@Jtwes]

It will probably do better than April planting. The Jimmy red I just planted has a lot better look to it compared to the Hastings.

[@michaelperry952]

Hey to you mr Joey,you and yours I predict a bumper crop on the silver queen! God bless y’all! Love what you stand for

[@Jtwes]

Thank You Michael Lord willing it will do good. Just thankful I have the ability to even plant some.

[@customcutter100]

I went back and looked at the video again and from 5:55 to 6:05 it looks like the rolling cultivators are mounted on a shank with a 45* angle instead of 90* where the plate is welded on. Also the shanks are then mounted to a short bar mounted on the lifting arm. I started sandblasting arms for the Super A last week and found some broken welds that need welded up. Hopefully I can get them together and on the tractor to figure out how I can mount my rolling cultivators.

[@Jtwes]

There’s nothing wielded on to the cultivators. They use a shank that’s bolted to the frame of the cultivators.

[@customcutter100]

@@Jtwes Yes, I know. But the 1" shaft/shank is welded onto the plate that bolts to the cultivator. Also the 1" shaft appears to be cut at a 45* angle where it welds to the mounting bracket that bolts onto the cultivator. Sorry for the confusion.

[@gitatit4046]

Those cultivators did a nice job again Joey. Glad the deer fence is working so far and yelp you'll get a lot stronger effect from it with your boots off - wanna know how I know? 😁

[@Jtwes]

I was wondering that. Lol I know what they’ll do with pee. Lol

[@stoneaustin369]

My silver silver queen is tasseling in South West Louisiana.

[@Jtwes]

Yes sir eating in a couple weeks .

[@stoneaustin369]

Just got my rolling cultivators on my cub. Cultivating my okra and peas. It’s rained everyday here for 6 days. Trying to keep a handle on the grass. I could sit and watch your cultivating videos for hours. Keep them coming. Want to see more live streams! God bless!

[@leeasherbranner355]

Love to watch the Farmalls in action. We use a Cub and an A.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Lee Cubs and A’s are fine tractors as well .

[@leeasherbranner355]

I use the Cub all I can cause the A is hand lift. We use a JD M as well but dad can't stand it cause he says it sounds like it's missing lol. He may be trading it for a 140 soon.

[@customcutter100]

Thanks for another great video! I got the 100 timed and running, cleaned the carb and had to adjust the idle as it was idling about 1000RPM! It's showing 0 oil pressure so I'll pull the oil pan and pump on Monday and check that. Probably a blown gasket or warped cover plate from what I've read. I always thought that you had the rolling cultivators mounted on a crossbar. Now I see that they are on 2 short stub shafts. Also it looks like the mounting shanks are cut at a 45* angle and welded to the "swiveling" bracket. Could you do a video on those cultivators, brackets, and how they mount? I bought some rolling cultivators, but haven't found any shanks that fit them. I might have to fabricate some from scratch. Thanks and God Bless, Ken

[@Jtwes]

Could be the pump is just wore out. I think I have a video on that I’ll look.

[@customcutter100]

@@Jtwes Thanks Joey. I found this one earlier when researching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJiZlKOqiNdjetU

[@williammay5300]

I really enjoyed this video... I was wondering if Jimmy Red corn is for eating?

[@Jtwes]

Mostly to build up a stock of seed . I do want to make some grits or cornbread with it.

[@williammay5300]

@@Jtwes thank you

[@waveoglesby2920]

We’re you running in first gear?? Look kind of slow. I’ll be doing this this week as well.

[@Jtwes]

Yeah it’s going to always be 1st until the crop gets about a foot high.

[@waveoglesby2920]

Did you wax the 140 after you washed it😂

[@Jtwes]

Waxed it with all the oil that blowed across it. Lol
