Early Start To 2024 Spring Field Work? Discing with International 1256

[@markflick1641]

Always nice to smell the fresh dirt . Great video Al , God Bless

[@CMDSR]

Good call if the ground still frozen no need to try to disk it.

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

It will be interesting to see what this season brings. The ground never froze in southern WI. The moles in the yard never stopped. I hope this doesn't mean that crop diseases and parasites that would normally be reduced by cold weather don't go into a population explosion. Please stay safe, and God bless.

[@ralphriddle8864]

Very good job and God bless y'all

[@larrybruck2949]

The last time we had a winter like this ( in SE Michigan) was Dec. 2011- March 2012. Summer 2012 was hot and dry. I kind of expect that this year. There is some water setting in some of the fields at the moment. If only we could save it for July and August!

[@Ardralta]

You definitely get the award for the first farmer in the field! Nice to see an early spring.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you God Bless you and your family 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@gregkortbein5108]

I can hear the rocks. I thought we only had rocks in Wisconsin. Have a safe planting season.

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

❤ IT'S JUST PLAIN DRY !!!!😮

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

I WENT OUT TO THE LE SUEUR COUNTY PIONEER POWER GROUNDS THE OTHER DAY TO LOOK AT THE FIELD AND IT WAS POWDER DRY EVEN IN THE DEAD FURROW BY THE MARSH !!!! MAYBE THIS WEEK WE CAN PLANT THE SPRING WHEAT

[@ralphriddle8864]

Very good job and God bless y'all

[@johncampsall8138]

If you are planning on putting oats in now would be a good time to get them in.

[@rickwoodvine.7529]

Nothing like turning dirt in the spring ❤

[@johnrdanna]

Good video always good content. Hope you get some rain an have good planting season.

[@ronniewayne5748]

Awesome video as always nice disking.

[@PaulWilcox-n2p]

Great to see your boys helping you so good for them 😊

[@stevenhancock7462]

The he old 1256 getting it done thanks gor video

[@Daniel-po4cf]

old iron still getting it done

[@canvids1]

Great to see you out there though it is early in some places, but farmers want to get out there are and get ER done and watch it grow. Always enjoy what ever you post.

[@travisvolf1804]

I like your beard Allen it looks good

[@redcountry2241]

Thats a nice john deere disk

[@anthonyhengst2908]

The was the winter weather went this is a good reminder to consider crop insurance. Who knows what the growing season brings. We too were discing cornfields some. Need to work the November - January manure in so like you said Alan, "Why not"?

[@derekjensen5918]

Another good video and i pray for the growing seasons this year for farmers and ranchers alone. It was very dry winter. God Bless you and hope you have an amazing planting season!!!

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

4:56...............looks good !

[@adamkonopko3580]

Good work, nice music👍

[@terryfrazier2751]

Good to see you in the field, hope you have the best growing season ever! 👍👏🐄

[@FreeloaderFarms]

Nice to see some tillage action. We're about the same conditions as you, looks like it may be a rough year. Just keep praying for rain, we've got some time yet. I guess not every year can be perfect

[@williamhitchcock2360]

Great job---keep up the hard work.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Another good video from you, greetings from Isanti County

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Have you ever thought about putting up a building somewhere on your property so that you don’t have to work outside when the weather is cold or nasty outside it’s just a suggestion because I know as a farmer kid my dad wasn’t a fan of working on equipment outside when it was cold or the weather was nasty outside

[@davidbarnes706]

Spring is closing in

[@davebalch7817]

It looks like it tilled up real nice frost or not The end result is good

[@koreymartinson7238]

It's amazing how things change from one spring to the next!

[@rogerknapp3703]

Have been doing some winter tillage here in michigan also. Crazy winter for sure. If we can call it winter. Lol. I'm afraid it's going to be another dry spring. Good luck to ya.

[@tkgaming8819]

Great video those disc do a good job you guys do a great job on the farm always look forward to the videos we have a 1456 and it looks identical to you 1256 good old tractors 👍

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah, they are great machines!

[@Scotthobart1086]

another great video!

[@anthonybarton2103]

We didn't have much of a winter here in Massachusetts

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Same here in Ohio, not complaining though. 😊

[@anthonybarton2103]

@@alisciamarotta3888 going to be a rough growing season more so for fruit growers if the trees leaf out and get hit with frost no crop for the season.

[@doublejfarmshomestead4501]

We are wanting to get in the fields too.

[@jaykettlewell3922]

Nice video, but why didn't you fold the ends down

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Was going to ask the same 😊

[@350mack]

My guess it's broken, or the tractor has a hard time pulling with the extra wings are out.

[@trinitydairy]

Puts more weight on the disc, so it cuts in better.

[@OldFarmAcresJoelK.]

@@trinitydairy Yep I do the same thing too.

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Sure is weird being in the field this early in the season around here.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Spring has sprung, nothing like the smell of fresh turned soil. The field looked good Alan, hope you guys have a great growing season. Question, why didn't you put the wings down?

[@trinitydairy]

It puts more pressure on the disc, so it cuts in better.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

@@trinitydairy Thank you, makes sense. Have a blessed weekend.

[@HowardFarms1]

Yeah..I'm North of yous guys about 1.5 hrs. I went out walking in the fields this morning and was thinking the same thing. I had a little more frost still hanging around yet. But almost like yours probably in a few days. Up here in Siberia it's way lucky we can get in the fields this time of year. Normally we've got 18-30 inches of snowpack and just now coming out of -30s this time of year. It's a blessing we can get in this time of year. Anyone planting Ogle oats down there? I'm up by Aurora. I saw Rock Creeks Consignment sales on for early April.

[@trinitydairy]

I think it was Ogle I planted last year.

[@HowardFarms1]

@trinitydairy how did they do? I planted Deon last year. Decent straw and grain yields were at 82 bu/ acre. I've been looking at MN pearl this year. But I really like Ogle Oats. Where is a good place for seed?

[@trinitydairy]

I was happy with them, for how dry it was, I'm not sure what the Bu per acre was. I got those at Federated co-op in Moose Lake. But I think triple z farm supply by Pine city, might have them too. But that's probably a long haul for you.

[@HowardFarms1]

@trinitydairy it's a drive...but maybe I'll set up a stop at moose lake on way back from Heidelbergers sale first part of April to pick up some seed. Thanks for info. What Corn variety do you plant and what's the maturity days on it? This is tough corn country. 72-78 day max. I have used sweet corn up here before for silage.

[@philipr7686]

Saw a short video out of Canada, a potato farm planting on February 24 of this year. A first for them. I didn't delve into their location.

[@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb]

It's gotta feel good to finally do some field work. How come you didn't put the wings down on the disk?

[@trinitydairy]

Puts more weight on the disc,so it cuts better.

[@buck1950]

How many hours does the 1256 have it seems like it's your go to tractor go red power

[@trinitydairy]

I'm not sure the hours, I don't think the hour meter is accurate.

[@350mack]

Wouldn't start tillage to soon. Just dries the ground out faster than need be 😊

[@trinitydairy]

My thinking is, it's better to work it up before it gets hot and it drys out way faster.

[@PeterRebokis]

When you have clumps of manure in your hay fields have you ever cut a bushy tree around behind the tractor ?

[@trinitydairy]

No, never tried that.

[@ryanbachman9227]

Every one is getting the itch to be in the field.it’s been a goofy winter/spring

[@johnwood7372]

Since it is so dry, why don’t you put all the discs down?

[@trinitydairy]

It puts more weight on the disc, so it cuts in better.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

The weather surely been this year. We have Thunder storms. Tornadoes. Hail. Oh. Snow this March. March in like a lamb out like a loin. Waiting to see how that comes out! How's the maple syrup turn out for ya?.

[@trinitydairy]

I think we're on batch #4, but I think we're eating it as fast as we can make it!

[@alisciamarotta3888]

​@@trinitydairy😂👍same here.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

@trinitydairy lol yeah I'll bet. It's good on just about anything. Waffles, pancakes, ice cream, alittle on bacon and sausage, ham.. French toast.

[@tyler1327]

Hello, I hope your family is doing good, Do you think it would be possible to own a small dairy farm with a small herd and also have a daytime job? Is that a realistic possibility? I have a huge passion for dairy farming and have a background in dairy farming.

[@trinitydairy]

It's a lot of work, but it is possible. I drive school bus, but with Jen and the kids around, they do a lot of the chores. When we first started, I worked at a parts store, part time, and milked about 20 cows, but it was a lot of work!

[@colorado1088]

Occasional background music adds a lot to the videos.

[@mattutke4704]

Thanks for the video Alan, this has been a unusual winter, is there anything wrong with the Gehl box? Did you get the package I mailed you a while ago too?

[@trinitydairy]

Yes, we did, thank you! The Gehl box had the floor rot out, and when the owner was running it, the whole chain came up and wrecked the back end. All the usable parts are out of it. The owner still wanted the running gear, but he gave me the box.

[@richardhawks4684]

Tractor supply baby chicks are in🐔🍺🍺🍺

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

I have a MF disc about same size as yours. I leave the wings up like you, it does a much nicer job.

[@davevonmuenster6649]

Again, your welcome to visit us in Eastern Iowa. 2 museums, plus Putnam children's museums, plus more. Stay with us, a Christian family and 0 cost to you and family. We will make it fun. Thanks

[@stevenhancock7462]

How come u dont put wings out

[@trinitydairy]

Puts more weight on the disc.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Still chewy here 😢

You forgot to put the wings dow n

I left them up for extra weight.

What are your next farm investments

[@trinitydairy]

I would like to upgrade the haying equipment, like a newer round baler, and a discbine. I would also like to put an insulated door on the shop, so I can keep it heated.

[@naturegirlmia]

Did you see any earthworms?

[@trinitydairy]

No, but I only checked that one spot.

👍👌❤️🇨🇦

[@tristenmichiels9415]

Why don’t you build a big heated shop

If I had that money I definitely would, but at 16 dollar a hundred milk, I don't see that happening.
