Mowing Wheat Stubble

[@DonWelter]

Nice touch to the video with the sunset...a side benefit of farming, taking in the natural beauty of our world. Tile projects are always a worthwhile investment of time and money. Can't control the weather, but can gain valuable time at planting and harvest. Road ditches and field borders sure vary between townships and counties...some areas are unkempt and overgrown while others are neat as a pin.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Nothing will pay for itself faster than good tile.

[@bncakitas576]

Good luck getting the county to maintain their ditches. I have been trying to get a ditch dug out that has not been touched in 30 plus years. My requests fall on deaf ears.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Typical

[@mathiggins4264]

Looking good buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@ronzezulka6646]

Beautiful sunset,,,God's gift

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I think you're looking at it wrong son. Mowing was productive and necessary. Wasn't profitable but was productive. I think everything you do is productive. You're being a good stuart of the land. I say good job young man. I hope you are able to get things worked out for the tile job. See you soon in the next one.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I hope so to.

[@Husker3435]

You are correct sir, that view is proof that God exists and is the creator of all things. G’job OFB, stay safe and keep crushin it 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks.

[@Doobie2100]

Great video!!!

[@roadhogg1418]

That tiling stuff don't ever easy or cheap it seems Farm Boy!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

If it was easy everyone would do it.

[@joshk.6246]

Have you ever ran across CBT Tractors? I guess they bought License to Oliver Designs to sell in Brazil. Some of their tractors ive seen pictures of in the 70s and 80s look so much like Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline influenced qnd very close to what Ive seen of the APD tractor at the Floyd County Museum.

[@sethkostur6785]

This may be a stupid question since I don’t live anywhere near where are you do, but why wouldn’t you leave that wheat stubble until the spring so that you can catch more moisture?Maybe I’m not understanding is it because the whole field lays wet and you’re not worried about retaining moisture?

[@harvestingharrolds1086]

Tried running beans and kept having problems with the head. Tested corn and it's 20 plus still. Probably going to run some as it failed the push test. I'll be harvesting through Thanksgiving to. Good luck on getting it all done.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Hopefully we don’t have any issues with corn blowing over.

[@earldoubet8062]

We been picking off the corn end rows, doing really well for them mid 18 percent moisture, yield is around 170 per acre I'll take it for the year we had . Are beans are green on the bottoms some beans here down around 10 on moisture hoping for a safe harvest. From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Anything under 20 is a gift this year.

[@tonyjones9715]

Another great thanks.

[@johnnyholland8765]

Is the landowner going to help foot the bill? Nice heavy duty mower.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s our land so yea I’m footing the bill.

[@Farmall450]

Mowing in the mud. We're about to get soaked with rain too.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

We needed more rain. Roads were starting to get a little dusty.

[@tomthompson489]

That was a pretty sunset field looks better.

[@larrydurdan]

You made mention of looking for the right answer, I've come to the conclusion that whenever I make a decision about something, I second guess myself afterwards sometimes and think, I should have done that instead. Every season presents itself differently. Just have to do what seems the best at the time and go with it

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

That’s about all we can do.

[@christopher3963]

With drainage will you be able to plant right through that grass swale that cuts the field in two?

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

That’s the plan.

[@bryanG4020]

Cover crops and tillage radishes for this field good time for that well better right after taking the wheat off!

[@jeffdymarczyk4413]

Problematic situations are always present when you have to deal with Towns or Cities.Don’t push me I’m coming 😅😅😅😅

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Yep

[@bobsmith1814]

Here in central iowa, the beans have been harvested and half way through the corn. It has been a dry fall

[@kevinmilligan4026]

I had an old guy tell me all years that end in 3 was usually a struggle

[@markward6076]

I would find out when city/county council members meet and I would be there and find out what the townships laborers job is, usually one guy working and the rest playing or sleeping. You need to put your foot down and set em straight

[@russellpetrie119]

the ditch situation sounds very simaler to the uk hence the floods we keep getting

[@realmongo7565]

Those bat wings are great for field work, but my, are they pricey!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

A little ridiculous for what they are.

[@bay9876]

Just thinking A Bat Wing Mower Just before Halloween if that doesn't scare you and then the beautiful sunset of God's creation to settle you down.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ethan least you got something accomplished not what you wanted. Thanks Michael

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks

[@ronzezulka6646]

Yup,,,looks a little spongy

[@ronzezulka6646]

The tile line sounds b8t spendy

[@rogerschlitter5116]

I am sure it is, but where I live, the farmers say, “You pay for tile whether you have or not.” I was with some friends looking at a potential land purchase. They were thrilled to see fox tail growing where there had been wet spots. To them, it meant they could tile it and improve it. They bought it, tiled it and those are the best soils.

[@standudek1372]

You are right 1000 a tree and 4 dollars afoot for ditch cleaning. Run for township trustee and get on board . Then things will happen that need attention.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It’s government. One person won’t make any difference

[@jeffstevens3420]

I would send a message to dirt,grain and steel. He is a dirt mover and does that work for the county he lives in. I bet he could help you out with some info and i believe he is in indiana. Dont know, just trying to help

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I’m not in Indiana

[@WilliamWebb-i4f]

Good feeling not to have to look at weeds every time you ride by

[@dennislamers986]

Our little city is the same way. They pissed money in the past and now a person can't get nothing done. When they decide to do anything they want more tax money. Anywho you are getting things done just not things that bring money in.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

True government work.

[@justinschmitz8034]

fun times when playing monkey brains with the county

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Always.

[@michiganfarming1955]

my county can't maintain roads let alone ditches. seeing all this makes you wonder why we keep paying taxes

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Fear of arrest for tax evasion

[@brettlamont4965]

You were 100% correct about your fall forecast awhile ago. Now if you could figure out how to make a bunch of money with those predictions. Long range forecast isn’t good

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

One extreme follows another. It’s wasn’t that hard to predict
