You are exactly right about ground speed w a disc harrow, our almost new rmx 340 31 ft is between 6.2 and 6.5 is it's speed and it's a little faster than your older harrows be ause of the cylinder on the tounge to adjust front to back pressure

I’ve seen a fair amount of strip till peanuts through the years, although it is no longer common around here. I have only seen one farmer attempt no-till.

Here in Eastern North Carolina in my area. There is a farmer who has been planting no till peanuts for the third year in a row. He seems to be doing ok with it. The first time I seen him planting no till peanuts I thought he was planting no till cotton. But when it started coming up. I looked and it was peanuts.

I'm a little late watching this one.🙄 Both tillage and chemicals are just tools in the box. Only YOU know what works best for your operation and conditions. NoTil is fine for corn/bean rotation, most of the time. But nothing is perfect all the time. Great video!
@PatrickShivers11 ай бұрын
Obviously the fewer passes across the field the better. No-till on red clay just isn’t an option. I did a small trial in corn field this year. All other variables were the same, tillage the only difference. Most my corn was 8’-9’ tall yielding 240 bushel average…..the no-till was under 3’ tall, not all seeds produced a plant, not all plants produced an ear.
@jackweeks8099 Жыл бұрын
5.5 mph is what worked best for me in our dirt too. Had a old farmer a few miles from me that swore by no till peanuts! He’d plant into wheat stubble every year. He must’ve done pretty good with it too. But it just never made any sense to me.
@jonfloyd6013 Жыл бұрын
As a no till farmer it hurts to watch land being disc, but different soil types along with what we call a specialty crop calls for different measures. We're mostly corn wheat and soybeans around here so we no till and strip till everything.
@PatrickShivers Жыл бұрын
Strip tilling was very popular here for 15-20 years but recently farmers are starting to trend away from it some. I know there are large regions of the country where no-till corn is very successful and I’ve heard no till farmers in Montana say their wheat yield is “acceptable.” In our area the wheat yield is doubled if you subsoil ahead of it. No-till corn would yield 0-75 bushels here. I had one row in my field that was shallow tilled but not subsoiled-that 600 yard row was 3’ tall and had 4-6” ears while the row on either side of it was 8.5’-9’. No-till is a great option where it works, but isn’t an option everywhere, just as deep tillage is a great option where it works but also isn’t an option everywhere.

Would scalloped blades cut the stubble up any better than the round blades? Enjoy your description of the various tasks you are doing.
@PatrickShivers Жыл бұрын
Scalloped blades are much more aggressive cutters. Usually only see those on offset harrows around here used for cutting firebreaks. Lift type harrows also usually have them to.
