How I Planted 50 Acres Of Iowa Farmland

[@Masonthegoat]

I never realized how much FS 22 would help me understand farming more

[@JBGOTGAME]

Its helpful in all kinds of ways

[@redtailpunk]

cause of spence and clarkson i can say my curiosity has officially been piqued. fs22 downloading. i wanna do some tractoring

If he's having trouble following his rows, he should hire an AI worker; they always know where the textures change. Good thing he's on a map where he can remove fences, too.

[@NathanSteers]

Dude I know exactly what you’re saying, I’ll drive past a farm now and know what everything is and what it’s used for

[@ihatered3177]

More videos pls

[@spencerhilbert]

Yes, I got more coming.

[@ihatered3177]

@@spencerhilbert lets goo :))) they are so satisfying to watch

[@bwilliams463]

Your drone footage is nice. You do a very good job of putting these vids together, too.

[@spencerhilbert]

Thank you very much!

[@Dixcus-zp7om]

MAKE THE CRIME VIDEO ... That's MUST SEE TV for those of us unfamiliar with the risks of crime in rural areas. Very interested to see how that went down and how you were able to recover some of your stuff. GET THEM VIEWS!!!!

[@ullcringe2895]

He's back!

[@rwfoxtrot]

Just a quick thought if I may. Try to take some soil tests and characteristic measurements such as infiltration and bulk density along the old fence line. It should give you an idea of what almost pristine soil in the field was like before cultivation began. That way you’ve got a target for getting your cultivated ground into shape.

[@yuvaanbhadha5928]

Best farmer on KZbin, you help me so much in achieving my dream. Hope you become successful you deserve it.

[@tjthegamer808]

I’ve just been waiting for Grant or Spencer to post. It’s always a good day when they do.

[@VinceDehoog8530]

Gald to hear things are going good hope you get your truck back also hope your knee heals before harvest thanks for the videos i also hope that your frist cutting hay went well we cut our hay too and got 40 round bales off of 6 acres record high

[@coltonbentley39]

Love our 4020 We plant 40 pounds to the arce of hay seed 30-20 on oats for weeds don't spray it will kill the hay even if it's round up ready for a year after that the hay will smolder it

[@JohnCarter-qv1ie]

I love that your brother is involved. I wish you both great success ! Greetings from the Eastern Shore!

[@HeresMinx]

You have no idea how jealous I am. I bought a 5 acre homestead 2 years ago, and I am looking at an additional 160 acres just up the road.

[@King_of_information]

Can contact you

[@The_Consigliere]

I'm rooting for you gents... Much love all the way from South Africa.

[@RIMMedia69]

Great video! 50 acres with that old tractor is honestly impressive, it's wonderful and inspiring to see your progress. Please keep it up!

[@jeremyshrontz]

Love seeing the videos and the work that goes into what farmers do to get crops to grow. Hope you have a great year!

Good to see someone making a go with the old equipment.

[@NicReid4]

Love the videos please post more

[@steveneal2706]

Great video guys. Thank you

[@paulmullins4439]

Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work hate to that someone stole your truck

[@FarmandSpeed]

heavy and over seeding alfalfa makes for a nice thick crop in the year to come. you will never get much off a first year crop of hay. spots that drowned out, if it will not grow alfalfa maybe put orchard grass in those spots so it keeps the weeds out and still makes good hay.

[@billsmith5166]

Good luck!

[@AveNoLife]

It's cool to see something made from scratch. I enjoy your videos so much, keep it going 👍

[@audible_]

my family farms and for some reason watching this brings me so much joy despite me not ever farming only helping fix the farm equipment but watching your journey here brings me a so much joy and i don't understand why

[@cameronburgess2479]

Praying for you Spence I pray to keep you safe and prosperous during these hard times

[@FarmingwithZana101]

As someone who has lost his bag of tools before, my deepest condolences man

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

The best tool for the job is the one you have on hand that will get the job done.

[@Helxuxhxhxj]

love the series! its fs in real life.

[@wrath231]

No lie. His channel got me into farming simulator 2022

[@elliotporterfield6921]

My dad tells me stories of spending the summers of his youth with my great grandpa farming in Piedmont, Oklahoma. This makes me wanna buy some land and farm some hay just for what it would do for my soul.

[@LightWarrior2000]

I drove a van otr past farm lands all the time. I love seeing them.

[@KyleThompson-cj4zh]

The stand is ok, but after the first cutting of hay, the alfalfa should take off better it at least it did for me and in the thin area's this fall I would recommend inter-seeeing grass because the alfalfa doesn't like areas that sit wet.

[@leonmiller7711]

Way too many farmers in over their heads. You are doing great! I'm hoping to be able to start doing the same.

[@cookierookie1918]

Love watching you work and grow your operation

[@skipper0565]

I really like what you doing, small farms are great! I understand why you removed the trees, bigger fields are more practical, but on the other hand tree lines are useful: they stop the wind, so the wind can’t dry out the soil or blow it away. I know trees steal water from the crops, but they are useful anyways. That’s what we get told in Europe, so I don’t understand why there are almost no tree lines at the edges of fields in North America. To be fair, I’d never been in America, that’s my impression of videos.

[@SAGUY1971]

Love to see you using trusted old equipment which can easily fixed when it breaks (unlike all the new techie stuff) . Sorry to hear about your truck getting stolen. Sadly crime is pervasive everywhere now , not just in the cities.

[@FamousAmos14]

In the phone when you do your last cut of the year drill, more alfalfa and do not drill any more oats love the video Spencer❤❤😊

[@HanktheOldfarmer]

He is the best he and squad are the goats of fs22 and they got me into it. Thanks squad and Spencer they are the best. Especially how they get along so well as brothers. They are just the best

[@square7935]

bro is living the best life

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Awesome video

[@thebeastsofwar9107]

Farming is my hobby

[@pleasantviewfarms2084]

If you want to thicken up the light areas of alfalfa you will need to do it this year. After the first year alfalfa will not let new alfalfa seeds grow the plants release a toxin. Just an FYI

[@CPUDOCTHE1]

It is amazing how much difference there is in different parts of the U.S.A. as far as timing to plant and harvest crops there is. Our optimal day to plant soybeans is June 15. The soybean rows are visible in 3 days and if the soybeans aren't up in 7 days, they are not coming up.

[@robervin9107]

Hey bud hope your knee is getting better Love you awesome vlog I’m so sorry your truck got stolen Im mad. Did you call the fbi as well they can keep a look out

[@Espeque]

FBI on stolen vehicles? Im not american so im not sure but from what i know they do more complicated crimes

[@FarmerCBS]

I'm curious why the fbi?

[@NewKiwiJK]

[@Zokailcamping]

Id recommend next year to work it to dust and get all the leftover stalks or whatever back under the soil completely. alfalfa is very tedious and needs to be seeded in great conditions

[@spencerhilbert]

Yup I tried to get away with it here. Last minute decision. We’ll see how it turns out. At least the oats will be good.

[@waynejones5239]

I have seeded alfalfa on snow covered fields with just a 3 point spreader and gotten a good stand on bare spots in the field and where it was lightly tilled the snow will take the seed into the ground

[@lucasrezac379]

That was a really nice 6.0 too

[@kesura7273]

FS 22 give me some knowledge about farming, even thought I'm not farmer and not expert about real life farming. But learn a lot from that game. Love your videos man.

[@johnbo945]

Great Video

[@mr.awesome9027]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing this

[@petergielen5905]

Thx for sharing

[@RustyWater6]

Dang, sorry about your truck. That's really unfortunate, hopefully there's some kind of resolution for you. Looking forward to your future content!

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

lmao, when finding your issue uncovers five other issues and fails to solve the original one 😂

[@rockzy1427]

Love your content, so sad you dont post more!

[@spencerhilbert]

More to come! I have a few video in the backlogs.

[@superiorcrow3862]

If you have a Problem with the Corn and the seeding in spring, you should use a Plow in fall too Plow the Corn stalks in to the Ground. Greetings from Germany

[@redtailpunk]

the digger dragging that first tree really reminded me of a dog tryna play with a stick thats way too big for him lol

[@2crazy654]

that’s cool

[@Blackwellll3066]

In Wisconsin that 15 acers is really 60 acers with 4 cuttings not sure how many cuttings ya will get off the feild

[@RussellFord-zh7sm]

I love farming

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

great work👍

[@derrickeischens3993]

If you don’t want your planter pulling to the left you should put globe on the planter like a Starfire 3000

[@Elliottstirk163]

I know this is a bit late but next time you do corn or something stalky make sure to plow it makes it way nicer to plant and easier to cultivate

[@Iemand679]

Finally bro is back 💪🏻

[@someoneelse2069]

Hey, might sound like a dumb question. But I (high school student that would like to study bioengineering, specifically agronomy), have researched quite a bit about nitrogen in the soil (to do with a project). I found that a good and cost-effective way to have higher levels of nitrogen without damaging the environment by using chemicals is to use cover crops. Is that reflected in true agriculture, or is it just wishful thinking or is it just not efficient. Additionally, I play quite a bit of Farming Simulator, which I understand isn't perfectly accurate to real life on many things, but in-game it is one of the best methods to get cheap fertiliser. Another stupid question, but I sometimes hear the word seeder, and sometimes drill. Is there an actual difference between the two, or is it just different words for the same thing. Farming Sim doesn't make the distinction.

I hope I can be let you guys someday!

[@johntorich4015]

I just broadcast it all in with the oats just mix all the seed in the spreader then disc it in and then roll it with coil packers boom your done

[@jimbradford818]

could we maybe get a drawing of the two places, showing the outline of both farms and whos is whos

[@ghorner11]

Next time Molboard plough the residue under in the fall and then work it with the disk in the spring. Problem solved - corn residue will break down so much better.

You need to plant alfala😊 in the fall

[@jaggortmaker2126]

I brod cast my oats and they're coming up good

[@spencerhilbert]

Yeah the oats are good, just worried about the alfalfa. That’s where the money is in cost of seed and potential profit.

[@BramVerbraeken]

Spencer uploaded MOM GET THE CAMERA

[@landintucker5472]

Granted it would’ve taken forever and been hard to sell that many you could’ve square bales the cornstalks. Usually people who own sheep will buy cornstalk squares as they are easy to bed a small amount of animals with.

[@coffeebuzzz]

Looks good. Your grass crop needs a feed.

Damn thieves - here in the UK on my small 20 acres I end up making a secure yard next to my house for my sm stuff - it is nothing too expensive - but a Ford Ranger, small JD Tractor - implements - tools - 1000 litre fuel tank etc... must have built up a 100k of stuff - I'd be heartbroken if I lost certain things (like my painfully restored JD2040).

Bummer about ur truck. I'm a GMC/Chevy guy, but still thought that truck was cool even if it was a Ford. Remember when u bought it on Grants' channel

[@blzt3206]

I've always struggled to calibrate brillion seeders.

[@freefoodftw]

I would be interested in learning if you noticed any difference tearing out the windrow of trees, if it affected anythning

[@JohnF0X]

Personaly i would have been more agressive with the cultivation there or even grab the plow to get more of the corn residue under. might have issues with that residue when you get to baling the Alfalafa.

[@FarmerTrio725]

Would the corn residue fertilize the alfalfa and oats

[@DeepFreeze7]

What autosteer screen is that? Doesn't look like john deere 2600

[@markzick9236]

Everyone should use airtags on anything valuable today. You may have been able to locate your truck. Who would have guessed there was crime in Iowa (joke)? Now you have to spend time finding another truck and your insurance premium could double.

[@spencerhilbert]

Yeah I actually found the truck and did have AirTags in a few items that I found. I’ll have a video out on it soon. It’ll make a good story haha.

[@brandon0856]

Hey there. New to farming and all the equipment associated with it. What’s the reason for using the discs. Are they to break up soil? The other plow seems to break up the ground well I’m just curious why both are used if that makes sense. Thanks for any input
