Disking Under Failed Soybeans & End of Harvest!

Last day of corn harvest, and disking under a failed soybean attempt. If you guys remember, some of the beans I planted back in early June into straight CRP. I thought there was a nice chance they would do decent if we got some rain, but as soon as I planted the soybeans, everything went completely dry. Insurance wrote them off as pretty much 0 bushels to the acre, so it wasn't worth combining. Luckily insurance was able to cover some of the costs, and it was only 18 acres. Overall, beans yields were extremely good (besides this field), and corn yields were decent to poor, depending on the field! A little bit more rain this growing year would have helped!

Hats off to you Grant. I’ve been watching since I was 6 when FS17 came out. I am now almost 13 and crazy how far you have come. My parents have always said “oh that guy won’t do anything than just sit on his computer playing farming simulator all day” and now I show them how far you have come and you have your own farm. Crazy what you can do in 7 years. Hope your harvest went well!

At 3:40 or so it looked like RPMs were around 2000 when you were saying you still pulled the hill at 9MPH, I believe that’s pretty good. I can’t remember what the manual says but RPMs can be safely lugged down lower than that.

hey grant if you go corn on corn you really need to think about adding more than just fertilizer, like minerals and other nutrients that the crop needs that being said im confident you can make a good crop with tile and just a pass with the disc in the fall if the planter can handle it

[@jeffalleshouse9783]

Merry christmas guys god bless!!

[@danielakin7638]

on the military truck problems starting in cool weather could be a couple things most likely it is poor compression. This happens just from general wear and tear. One of the things to look for is if you are getting a lot of blow by out of the blow by tube if you are this motor is probably on borrowed time which means you would need to do an engine rebuild to solve the problem. The other issue that it could be is an issue with the diesel injector pump on the side of the motor. If it is due to blow by and you were using a lot of oil then it’s possible that your rings are bad which would also result in an engine rebuild . Now some engines are able to be rebuilt and some are not if the motor does not have sleeves in it or liners as they are known then it is not a motor that can be rebuilt if that is the case you just have to cut your losses when it blows and you would be looking at getting a new motor to keep using it

[@randybedker1584]

You guys need to get ahold of farming fixing and fabricating to see if they would help Spencer set the army truck up with a dump box. They do everything hydrolics and the lift and the box. They have some great videos with him explaining everything and why they do things the way they do. The set them up so they can slide on and off. You could make a bed for toolboxes. Just about anything.

[@granthilbert5632]

It actually has a dumpbox! Just not too big of one👍

[@99travman]

Figured the beans probably did not turn out good when you didnt show that field during harvest. We had something similar happen to us like that several years ago when we tried it. Got 1st cutting of hay off an alfalfa field then hit it with roundup and no tilled beans in late June. Drought hit and they got hardly any rain that summer and looked a lot like yours. Just turned cows out on them to graze after frost kill and tore the field up in the spring. Late or 2nd crops like that are a buzzkill if you don't get some timely rains shortly after planting.

[@granthilbert5632]

Would of been interesting to see the yield if we would have got some rains!

I would have done one pass to breakup the sod just so you have better water soaking than done a early spring trip to rough it up and get early grass and early grass will and weeds will grow and then right before planting hit again if weeds are growing good or spray and plant less soil erosion winter will breakup most of what the disk left

I actually had an article pop up in my newsfeed about Grant the other day, and he doesn't even cover half of the work he did just to get to this point. I finished the article with a great deal more respect than I already had, and I already thought this kid's gonna excel. I think "quit" is a verb he fundamentally doesn't understand.

[@jsw-farmer4140]

I'm actually a teacher. Thank you for correcting my comment. In an environment which should be an area of free speech. Much appreciated. "Quit" used flippantly as a term to express Grants delay between his current and most recent post. Happy holidays, or merry Christmas 😉

[@markmoore2830]

What new equipment you getting next

[@boskone]

Why tile in winter? Do your crop plans not leave enough time when the soil's thawed?

[@granthilbert5632]

You got it! 1. As soon as ground's thawed usually starting to look at planting. 2. Most importantly it's usually wetter in the spring, and by tiling in the fall we get a freeze/frost cycle that allows the tile/soil to work better once the frost is out. 3. We do a lot of compaction while installing tile. The frost right after helps get rid of a lot of the compaction.
