Farmall Friday with JT! How does 5 inches of rain affect crops?

I got my farmall C out for a road trip! Now, let’s see how 5 inches of rain affected my crops on untitled ground

[@stevesundermeyer4139]

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin in the 60's and 70's. My grandpa bought a Massey Harris Ferguson 50 and it turned out to be a wonderful tractor. I punched above its weight for sure. We used it for everything. Plowing with a 3 bottom plow, running the baler, everything. It was the go to tractor. It was painted like a Massey Harris. Brown cast parts, red sheet metal.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Great little tractor!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Corn looks very good JT. You used nothing high tech In spraying and planting just all reliable old school. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

JT have you considered testing the soil on these lower producing fields?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I’ve had them tested for nutrition, they’re not off track in that department, just too much moisture

[@briannelson4493]

Thanks for the tour of your fields JT it’s nice to see how crops fare in other parts of the country

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

You bet

[@zendoargos4988]

It's difficult to manage land that you don't own. Hopefully you'll get some dry weeks for those fields to recover and thrive. Good luck.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks

[@ihguy2113]

JT we had a 6600 here for years came with a 444 corn head when my dad bought it used we grow mostly corn but some beans . so when it came to buy a flex head for it we only found a 218 reasonable price all redone so he bought it did really well with an 18 foot

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@BrionBrooks]

Nice looking 12 crops look good for the amount of rain you been getting.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

@@BrionBrooks thanks! I am really enjoying that 12 😉

[@FixAndForget]

Thanks again for showing us what it is actually like inside the world of farming. A lot both good and bad goes into putting food on America's tables. Thanks again.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on. Thanks!

[@timmyharrell9829]

Thanks JT for the tour. I have about 90 acres of soybean here in North Carolina. It looks like you may have some Manganese deficiencies in your sandy field. You can apply some over the top and it will green them up. Worked for me.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

That could be possible

[@wisconsinbush2940]

Gotta say, your videos are improving!

I try 😉

Will do!!

[@ronzezulka6646]

Hey buddy,,thanks for the update. Crops are looking great,,especially the corn. Gonna give the 6600 a run. C is looking good!! We're hurting a little here in west central Wisconsin for moisture. Could use some rain. Keep em coming dude. Ill hoist a Kugels for ya. Cheers 🍻

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! Hope you can get a little rain on that side of the lake!

A great crop for a great farmer.

Great crop your JT, women just can’t resist a big hearted man, with cool tractors 👍🏻

You got that right! And a cool cat lol

[@GeneMusall]

I’ve often wondered what crops were like in other states. Here in Indiana the western top half grows some pretty impressive crops. But we have our sandy and clayish spots that disappoint. But your good files are impressive.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@johncook3817]

Great video! Here in Scotland it sometimes feel like it has been raining for the last 365 years 😅 You really are the massey whisperer. Getting given them to you now. Tidy enough little 12 . Those lawnmowers are thin on the ground over here and they always command very good prices. There was a 10 in nice condition but non running it made just under £1000 pounds. Your crops are looking really good.nice corn for a first go! As usual I am looking forward to the next instalment!😊

Thanks 👍. I appreciate you!

Excellent video JT :) may sounds weird April 1 to May 5 2024 got 7 -3/4 inches of rain up 4 times each day and this July 1 to 19 2024 6 -1/2 inches rain i do grass cutting 2 times a week Lol ! Also funny part my cousin farm around me got 3 crops hay also grain started Friday 19 of Combine and Soybeans excellent growth and shock corn in my areas I live east Toronto Ontario Canada in Country is 7 feet high no lie and it taller than I ever seen in all my 48 years age ! Talking to my one uncle he said this year be better than all years he ever in farm growth and yield be super year ! HE Hopes price go better and ton weight on bushels to acres to !

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@garyduquette1784]

I forgot about driving around checking crops. Our farms were spread out over 7 to 18 miles apart that's when we farmed about 700 acres. So there could be alot of differences in fields. Some tile could surly help you if the property owner would invest in their land. All in all your crops don't look to bad, you should average out okay. But painting and selling tractors might pay off better. I had a brother that lived in St John's Michigan and it alway tickled me how the streets in town were all nicely paved but get a little ways out of town and you have dirt roads. I see it's the same where you live JT.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Bingo! I do like painting and selling tractors 😉. Seems to pay a little better lol

[@Ron-m9p]

great crop tour

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks!

[@charleswelch249]

That's for the ride on the C. You have 3 great looking fields. And some probably not worth the price of the seeds that you planted. Hopefully, you at least have a good weekend with your family JT. It was great to see you posted another video.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@kenmazer9481]

👍🏻👍🏻because one is just never enough 🤛🏻🤛🏻 Love the Farmall C. Looking good

Thanks!

[@sallybrokaw6124]

Beans around my house are just about waist high. Corn has shot up and tasseled with the recent high heat. You might have to park a truck at each end of the field 'cause the combine is gonna get full quickly 😊. AL B.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I in sure hope so!

Hard to complain about rain here in Oklahoma, I guess I wouldn’t know what that’s like😎. I figure as long as it’s not harvest time I’ll take as much as I can get short of a flood. I lived in Iowa during my childhood and helped my uncle and grandfather on the farm, never heard of that double ear thing you talked about. Everything I recall all the stalks had two harvestable ears. The C is looking sharp.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! Generally the corn in this area will do one good ear and maybe 1/2 another or just the one. I’ll take two!!

Wet ground like that is a nightmare, I have seen my ploughing 14inch deep to let her drain and dry, then sow and work the ground with as little compaction as possible.. nice work mate

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on! Thanks!

[@billyhord4508]

Never a bad day on the farm when you can ride around on your IH tractor. Those wet fields remind me of the dry land cotton fields around Lubbock. They are hit and miss for crops, mainly miss.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on

[@Steve-t5l]

Happy Friday. I feel your pain when it comes to the rain. We've had over 5 inches of rain this past 8 days. But other than that, you can only do so much. I watch all your video's and you have done a good job, considering the weather. Heres to hoping August will bring better weather for you and every other farmer out there. Take care and all the best from Canada

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Living the dream, man... even when some of it's a nightmare. Still, I'm envious. I'd love to get my hands on a small assortment of old equipment and a little piece of land and just get into it. Maybe someday. I'm close to your age (rapidly approaching 47 this year), so it'll probably never be a living for me, but if I could make that my retirement, I'd be okay with it. And if I can get into it as a hobby before retirement age, I might have a fighting chance of enjoying my twilight years after all. Thanks for the tour/update! Nice to see that at least most of the crops are looking hopeful despite all the extra rain. Here's wishing for a drier, breezy late summer and fall.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]
