How To Screw Yourself Over! Seeding Wheat In South Australia & Harassing The Neighbours | Seeding 22

[@noremacbeez]

never avoid posting the struggles....that's what makes fair dinkum content on KZbin great..... and why as Aussies we back our farmers! despite the struggles.... keep on pushing on....

[@willian.direction6740]

Thats a shocker that weed, used to get it blocking up my vineyard seeder too cover crop seeding. Summer weeds are hardest to deal with sometimes. You done your best promise not to check your paddock next time I drive past.

[@tonymckeage1050]

Great Video, New Sub here, don't worry about the watchers, It looked fine, it always pay to show the good, the bad and the ugly

[@redeemedfarmer2670]

Very nice to see Australian farmers on KZbin……I hope you do lots of videos…new to your channel. God bless you guys

[@brodieallen2173]

Great video Henry. A can of drink is always a race to finish before the vibration of the tractor takes all the fizz out 😂

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Hahaha 😄, that's 💯 % correct

[@troygunter1600]

I feel your pain brother!! We parked up the knife point bar ages ago now and went to a disc seeder. Its so satisfying chopping up weeds you know would be causing you trouble. I dont think that any one way is the complete answer. It seems that a rotation of techniques works best. All disc for years and you eventually get a very rough paddock. Throw a cultivator in the mix every few years loosens up everything and levels it off. Keep up the hard work!! Its good to see your rich dark clays looking so wet.

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Thanks mate, thanks for watching 👍

A farmers life is never easy. We all work to the golden rule...Murphy's Law. We however have forgotten Mrs Murphy. She says..When. a lady of few words. But very profound. Keep up the great work Henry.

[@Jake18509]

Just tell the neighbours it’s a row width trail and it’s best to randomize through the field for non bias replicated data. Put flags up with different colours they’ll think your on to something

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

🤣

[@redeemedfarmer2670]

You have my appreciation and respect……keep going

[@langer4602]

Think every one in the same position this season we have had alot of issues with wire weed here in North East Victoria causes exactly the same problem... Keep up the honest videos mate 👍

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Thanks mate 👍

[@stephenbradbury460]

Keep what you are doing. Henry love your Chanel.

[@bobbebbington5356]

Have a cutting wheel in front of the times and this should solve your problem. Also plant a cover crop and crimp roll it before planting,it will eventually smother out the weeds and stop the need for spraying. I am a retired baker and do really appreciate good quality wheat. Keep up the good work.

[@colh4978]

Another ripper vid Henry, keep ‘em coming. Loved the drone shots, found you on google maps.

[@samuelsutton8299]

As someone who farms right next to a major highway. Can confirm the amount of blocked rows is directly related to how close one is to the highway

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

💯 👍

We live and learn brother, we are always learning, that’s the best part of being a farmer. Keep up the good work 🌾👍

True that 👍

Your a lucky family , farming is hard but a great lifestyle.

[@Romeo-kp8tc]

Just found your channel, I'm not farming anymore, Looks beautiful soil, We having a excellent season, good rain overnight, Farmers , graziers smiling, I know what's its like planting weedy country, Farming is always about learning , don't be hard on yourself, yes it always happens where your neighbours can see , been there done that, Enjoyed, stay happy , life is short , Cheers Bevan from Sapphire Central Queensland 🤠❤️🇦🇺

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Yes it's beautiful fertile soil. Thanks for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@Alex-wo9mz]

Should try using Drones to spread seeds, super efficient and super fast. No Clogging possible too 👍

[@bobuncle8704]

At the end, I don’t believe what you were calling the weed was it’s actual name 😏

[@wyndhamhewlett2795]

Different tractor in the drone shots! I'm paying attention.👍👍

[@gopherchoker]

Here In Saskatchewan we have kochia. Same problem and it’s really hard to kill.

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

I see Welkers really struggle with it. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, us farmers all have our battles

[@leomcavoy5770]

🇺🇸/🇦🇺 Just subscribed, hope I got the right flag 🇦🇺. Looking forward to seeing farming going on while we're snowed in and frozen over! Hopes & prayers 🙏 for healthy, safe and bountiful season. 👍👌🚜🤙

a disk or turbo till would keep your weeds from wrapping, good luck from nebraska

[@michaelrussell6661]

Murphy's law if x can go wrong, it will go wrong right after you have said "nothing is going wrong" :D Helps to show good AND the bad of farming, which help's people know what it takes to go farming. Keep up with the good work and vid's from just up the road ;)

[@robkelly4527]

😂 glad I'm not the only one things like that happen too. Can say I've had my fair share of things go sideways long as you don't do the same things twice and expect a different result that's the definition of insanity. Keep up the good work mate👌

[@youhen01]

Great work as always Henry. Put double discs on your machine

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

I was wishing I had discs when I was dealing with that weed 😒

[@landlifem5872]

Ah discs, they bring their own world of frustrations at times, and oh the maintenance on them......

[@backhomeprepper]

Could you weld some scrapers above the wheels to help prevent mud buildup?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Will definitely be looking into it before next season

[@leonardbrendle7902]

How did the field look after it came up,the neighbors well be talking.

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Came up really well because I went back over the 5 passes, that had blockages, with an additional 35kg per ha of wheat. Rather have the crop a little to thick than the Ryegrass growing there.

[@sethl3702]

Weeds are responses to damaged soil conditions. Do you use any roller crimping to terminate cover crops?

[@dutchdairyfarmer2850]

you're lucky man to have a woman who spoils you so much!!☕️👌🏻😀

[@Ozlakota]

how can u not have a 15/16 -1" plow spanner on board I keep 2 on every machine

[@samrichards670]

Wouldn't it pay to run disc at a shallow depth over a field in that condition?

[@7rixee]

Haha, every farmer has screw-ups. We do such a variety of different things, that some things are bound to go wrong every now and again.

[@noahjbarr]

When your turning around at the end of a pass and lift the bar do you shut of the air cart fan so seed\fert stops coming out the shoots?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Yeah mate, definitely 👍

[@Yetti38]

Is there any reason you couldn't kill it with fire next season?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

Given its a summer weed and South Australia is usually under a total fire ban from November to April, probably not.

[@noahjbarr]

How many foot is your seeder bar?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

35ft

[@jasonstranthon5183]

You would think the companies that make the weed killers would make something that kills only weed & the weed seed early or preemptive and can be used early with not a ton of litres going out...... Tbh I think they want it to keep happening because otherwise they would not sell as much weed killer......basically they make it effective but not "too" effective, forcing you to buy more etc etc... I have a weird love farming but am not a farmer, but how have companies not figured out how to just demolish weeds easy and early after 100's of years.....they a pest in my small backyard farm constantly. I can't imagine how much it costs any farmer just to stop/slow the weeds.....imagine if you could guarantee no weeds......

Could be worse mate could be a old gyral with nice sharp points and double the weed load .

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

It can always be worse, that's for sure 😅

[@leeszalnowski8367]

Another great video Henry, keep up the good work. You appear to have a high level of mechanical capability compared with the avg farmer. Are you a trained diesel fitter or self taught?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

I have a diesel mechanic qualification. Spent 8-9 years in the trade in various roles. Thanks for watching 👍

[@leeszalnowski8367]

Well it certainly shows that you can repair and maintain things to a high standard, I’m sure your also popular with the neighbours! Cheers Lee

[@12marshy1]

can use fire harrow rake it?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

It was only 15-20ha up one end of the paddock. Managed to work through it. Make sure we nuke it next year before it gets that bad

[@oliveringram3056]

Maybe the plough wasn't such a bad tool after all...

[@BestFarmROI]

This season more farmers are laughing at non-users of the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement” - that rolls back fertilizer prices to 1984. Listen to what 3 agronomists, a past Board Member of the New York Farm Viability Institute (and farmer), a Georgia Corn Commission Board Member (and farmer), top NCGA corn yield winners, soil structure and nutrient manager and other farmers say about the unmatched benefits of the “SNX30 fertilizer supplement”. If you can't believe them, who can you believe? As one farmer claimed - It almost feels like cheating.

[@ozlakota1]

every machine should have 24mm and 15/16-1inch plow spanners every machine should have 2 of

Stop back up 1 foot lift weed cleared ?

[@lockvalleyfarms981]

That would get rid of maybe 40% of it. The dirt was so sticky it would all get embedded and stuck to the tine.

Hello, please can I get a chance job with you there ?
