Hay season has started

[@pamanthanos9742]

dream place just you and tractor and fertilizer

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Like the swather, love watching the baler. Remember, I’m used to seeing horses, plows & hand baled hay with the Amish farms. When their field caught fire(cigarette tossed from a car) I’m SURE they would’ve taken the offer for a baler. Their hay feeds their life stock all winter. Since they don’t have phones, or cars, it took awhile for word to spread that they needed help baling(saving what they could) while the fire department fought the fire. I felt so helpless.

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea I would feel helpless too

[@stevesanders1187]

I love the wide open spaces, it seems like you can drive for miles without seeing another person. You put in long days on the farm but despite that it seems like a peaceful way of life. Watching your videos gives me a brief respite from the hectic way of life in NJ. Thank you, my friend. 😃

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea there’s no one for miles. And you’re welcome 🙂

You're making me joules dude. Lol 😆🤣

Thats very interesting about your irrigation wells. Here in nebraska we have one irrigation well thats 400 foot deep but it pumps up to 1400 gpm from ONE well!

[@conleybanman]

Yea we definitely don’t have that around here but in south west Texas we do

[@timjorden8329]

Just watched this video. I watch several other farms on KZbin. Your farming is a lot different than Canada or even the other farms I watch in the States. Interesting. I look forward to seeing the bailing

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea I’m excited for baling too

[@katerinakarafili28]

Hi from Greece.. very nice job...

[@piperdoug428]

Just found yer channel, ye have an interesting accent, sound almost Irish. I always love drone footage from high up of those pivot fields in the desert

[@conleybanman]

Oh yea we have flat lands for miles

[@benito1604]

Great content! A pleasure to watch each update about your farm activity! Farming from Senegal, our soils seem to have some similarities, what % of sand do you have?

[@conleybanman]

It feels like 100% 😂😂

[@earlyoung2863]

I was gonna say "wow that's a lotta potash", but then you mentioned the "Treflan". I started out in the 70s, using Treflan but I, and most people switched to "Prowl". Runner seed seemed to get damage and stunting, emerging through the Treflan. Treflan is tougher on weeds for sure! And watering it in well ahead of planting has to lower the chance of seed damage. Is that a rye/wheat mix? Here we figure every 10bu wheat yield=1 bale of hay. Wheat being around $6/bu, people who can, may start combining it again. I know, it's YOUR cotton ground😁, and those dairies will take all you can bale. Cutting hay IS pretty satisfying, I'll agree.

[@conleybanman]

Well prowl is still really good we use that too every now and then. It’s rye no triticale but were hoping to get around 4 bales per acre which a lot of dairies are on low supply due to it being so dry so they’re really paying high dollar for everyone’s hay

[@scottmichaels2538]

We use treflan as a pre emergence on our soybeans, its definitely yellow & stains everything.

[@bobwest2807]

Hi Conley. I have never been first to view a video. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@mtdogluvr6880]

Do you have to sharpen blades or anything like that on a swather? Great video. Congrats on the good yield.

[@conleybanman]

Thanks and we change the blades instead. Sharpening isn’t really worth it since the blades aren’t that expensive

[@EFCasual]

And usually you want to replace them when they've been mangled by a rock.

[@conleybanman]

Or a coyote 😂

[@eof3100]

Will you make videos of your complete bailing process ?

[@conleybanman]

Yes that is the plan

[@robertgregory166]

Love the swather

What grass thank you

[@giorgospantelaios3928]

Show us how this header work?

[@dustinkeith7641]

does the header not have a reverse to back all that out? and I am surprised the tops of the crop don't get knocked off the way it hits the header like that.

[@conleybanman]

No it doesn’t have one but yea rye is really tough

[@loganbateman1163]

Dang dude that looks like Idaho ground

Do u use any anhydrous ammonia

Nope it’s either dry fertilizer or liquid

WE ARE PAYING $600 TER TON OF UREA WE USE ON OUR HAY LAND WOULD YOU MIND TELLING US HOW MUCH YOU PAY PER TON FOR FERTILIZER IS THE WHEAT HAY WHEATLAGE PLEASE VIDEO BALING WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO TEXAS GREAT STATE TO FARM

[@jimmcginty2344]

I just found your channel, where are you located?

[@conleybanman]

West Texas

[@brodyschroeder91]

Any idea what the header speed was? I’ve had issues with header plugging when header speed was to low for my ground speed and crop conditions.

[@conleybanman]

We we’re running it at 2,200 rpms

[@tristanjones344]

Do you have problems with feral hogs where you are? They are a big problem for us in Australia

[@conleybanman]

Our problem is more coyotes leaving massive holes everywhere but no hogs

[@EFCasual]

It's the other side of Texas that has that problem.

[@jeremyplays2372]

You might have have said this earlier but where are y’all based in

[@conleybanman]

West Texas

[@JR-mv7uz]

How much fertilizer or N netto KG you use on this wheat?

[@conleybanman]

Around 200 pounds of urea per acre

[@agro83gr]

Only pure urea? What about potassium or other nutrients?

[@conleybanman]

You don’t really need that for wheat. But we do put that on for our peanut seed that we’re planting

[@agro83gr]

@@conleybanman sorry, i meant about peanuts, what type of fertilizer you use and how much

[@conleybanman]

225lb per acres of a blend of potassium phosphate sulfur and nitrogen

Question for you ; Why a swather and not triple mowers on a tractor ?

[@conleybanman]

We can go faster and we don’t have to give up a tractor just for swathing

[@robwar2288]

Yeah I can mow 16mph with 16ft and neighbor runs 30FT at 6mph

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

We run a krone triple at generally 10 mph for alfalfa first cut 2nd and 3rd 14 or 15 mph pretty easy if the field is smooth enough

Does the swather have a decent road speed? Neighbor here in Iowa has a Hesston, it does maybe 12mph top speed down hill... lol

[@conleybanman]

Haha yikes that’s slow. Ours goes 20 down the road and for on the field if it’s not thick wheat the GPS let’s you go 17

Nah not really

[@deplorablelibertarian]

I’m imagining driving through this part of texas and losing my mind....there’s zero people, zero infrastructure, just zero. I didn’t even see a small no name gas station. Do you even have contact with other human beings there? Do you communicate with smoke signals....because there’s no way you have signal out there.

Haha 😂 it is pretty vacant but no there’s people
