Drill Prep - Heading North!

So we just finshed up the chickpeas in time for the next rain system to move in!.. Getting the drill ready in the rain for pickup tomorrow morning. There's always lots to do to properly prep the drill for the two day move north.

You need to make a checklist, have it laminated, and keep a dry erase marker with it that way when you prepare for "the move" you know it's all done...as long as you don't have to do it in the rain.

I never saw so much water in mike videos, acrually i have saw i think 1 time in these last years 😅

[@peterbingley6835]

Glad to see your getting some moisture down south …..a few more inches over the coming couple of months will do wonders 😊

[@stevefunderburgh8852]

Glad for the rain for you guys. Hopefully it will continue thru the growing season and you have a great crop to harvest.

[@aidanbrennan7389]

Great video. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.

[@rvhome5599]

Yeah rain, I hope Mike that you got the rain they promised you. After all those years you guys deserve a crop

[@glenvonasek3888]

It is so awesome you got some good rain.

[@pietoosterhof5901]

Well Mike you wanna get rain don't you, Well now you've got it.😉

[@SoWhatIfI...]

Zip ties and ratchet straps to the rescue! The newer generatons black tape and baling wire. I think alot of us would have to quit farming if they didn't exist!

[@petermolnar8667]

Ratchet straps are just the renewable alternative for baling wire 😂

[@dennislamers986]

So many things that can go wrong. Safe travels guys

[@kurtzbradley]

I tell you it will get better….rain and soon to be raining again….that is how your subs roll bro..

Mike all you need to make your drill complete is a sign on the back saying ‘Sponsored by rachet straps, electrical tape and zip ties’.

[@FRRitter]

Those planter tires sound tough! Thanks for sharing Mike.

[@fredericdelage1542]

Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et le tracteur et le semoirs est bien équipés 😂😮😅😊

[@christos724]

Hey Mike I hope all the best for you and your family . Happy to share with us all the effort you put in to your farm. Why you have tractors without tracks any more ?

[@joescheller6680]

You need a check list just like pilots for flying. I was an inspector in the navy inspecting jet engines to be sure every little bolt and nut was safety wired in proper manner.

[@liamrobertson7265]

its rain Mike !

[@Benozurman]

I live in the middle of Europe and I check from time to time on my phone how is weather at your place, hoping to see some rain. 😊

[@kluckfabrication5991]

How are things in Iraq these days?

[@chrisfarmer2937]

Hey Mike . Just seen a tik tok where a Case track and drill took out a high power tower south of Regina. Hope everyone is OK. Looked nasty.

[@leddielive]

Those new'ish tyres on your drill are amazing, all that weight at 50mph says to me that they're military specifications or something very similar. I remember the state of the previous set of tyres after just one trip to the North Farm, so the tyres you have now should be just fine.

[@joescheller6680]

Great your getting the rain. Its going to be a bumper crop. You drserve it after too msny dry ones in a row

[@clearskiesranch1362]

It’s a long time until harvest. A lot can happen between now and then

Most rain you guys have see in years😂😂😂😂

[@eoinryan3966]

Mike have you noticed any big difference with the breathers on the hooper this year are they worth the money

[@duncanmcleish3683]

Just another Saskatchewan ghost town I assume. 👻💀

[@rogermeacham2051]

Mike need more combine,.. 4" rain in a week?

[@brushcrawler8612]

Why do you choose not to grow cover crops? Seems like with the lower yields for consecutive years, your OM would be withering away. Also, I'm under the impression it can help conserve soil moisture. Nevertheless, it could be an informative topic of conversation on a long equipment move 😂 or during the off season.

[@clearskiesranch1362]

Because that would require Mike to gain an understanding soil biology, plants, the carbon cycle and how they all interact instead of throwing chemicals and synthetic fertilizers at barren soil in hopes of forcing it to grow crops in a monoculture setting

[@clearskiesranch1362]

To be fair I used to think the same way but after a few conversations with Gabe Brown and others I began evaluating my practices and changing them accordingly.

[@999pr1]

@@clearskiesranch1362 As one in the midwest US that has been using cover crops and NT for many years, it looks to me like the situation is very different there. Cover crops might use moisture needed for crops, and establishing a useful cover crop in the short season there might be very difficult. There might be other ways to build OM, but with the type of growing season they typically have, it might take something like years of rotating grass crops. Or even that might not work.

Bonus that it rains during the move. Tires stay cooler

What's the cost of a hydraulic cylinder opposed to just rebuilding the existing?

Shocking Mike, just shocking.
