My worst plowing job ever...

[@justinallmond3855]

Wow, first time 3 Suffolk team plowing! Nice

[@juliegoodge2680]

Suffolks good horses you can’t go wrong 😁👍

[@Munguy-i8j]

That tile should get you working earlier in the spring😊 The Suffolks boys are doing an A + job.

[@br927]

Jim, you only need to plow good out by the road where the neighbors or passer bys see it!

[@susanl3702]

The team looks great together, looking forward to calenders

[@brendajohnson6057]

Loved watching the 3 Suffolk boys working so wonderfully together. They are such a nice breed. Nice to see Billy getting a break. And all the beautiful trees.

[@joycehennequin8469]

Just do your best,nothing is ever perfect Jim.Best wishes dear friends ❤

[@sueupham2519]

so wonderful...leaves are beautiful yet..we wanted to see the cabin and pond this time of yr. Brenda... Maybe nx video? how nice big bill looked in that one shot,,..thanks

[@ursulaeipert74]

yes, it is very satisfying to watch the plow turn the soil so perfectly. But the compacted dirt appears rather challenging.You all are doing a great job.

[@plainsimple442]

Hi Jim, with the weather cooling, you have inspired me today to start working my garden, orchard, and apiary. Looks like you may receive some snow to wet your ground.

[@christinavanhardeveld2206]

so crazy that it was so wet for you all summer and now its already too dry! But the 3 boys look fantastic! I'd take Ken as a retiree at my farm in a heartbeat!

[@jeannegoodness6067]

Baron did very well walking in the furrow. It looked uneven, yet he did great! All 3 brothers looked so good!

[@janeteckhart4886]

Nice to see the brothers plowing together. What a nice looking team!

[@johnhenderson299]

Great video

[@DenisThibodeau-w2e]

Very nice team

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Jim and Brenda, It's really great to see Baron , Earl and Duke on the White 2 furrow plow There doing so well on the 3 horse hitch. Baron is so steady in the furrow supporting Earl and Duke. The lack of moisture wouldn't help with the compaction issue for sure. With the dry conditions your furrows are reasonably straight. ,Drain tile installation takes a few planting seasons for the land to recover. Great filming today Brenda following along behind the plow.

[@dustincharleyboy]

The Big Red Team looks good ❤

[@robbullis5025]

That one of the best 3 horse hitches I have seen. The boys are doing a great job.

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

Sometimes you can only do what you can do with things

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

By the way Brenda is doing an awesome job as well

[@carolewilliams2232]

I love watching the horses. I grew up with horses, and I love listening to you talk to.O Jim I enjoy Brenda very very much😀🌻

[@cannonvalley5137]

Thanks For sharing your Mistakes, since my dad passed away 6 years ago, I've been trying to keep up on plowing with horses. 😊 It's so much harder then it looks sometimes.

[@sueheaman7186]

Awesome sunny day☀️. Colours are beautiful🍁 Really can see the colours of the beautiful Suffex brothers with the sun shining on them. I kept getting Duke and Earl mixed up as Earl is full brother to Barron. This view really shows the difference. Duke and Barron are more similar in colouring, Earl is a darker red! They look great and doing such an awesome job together🙌🏼Another great education video🙌🏼🍁🤠🇨🇦

[@scottburris9842]

Baron is starting to muscle up like Bill

[@ezone913]

Jobs for Skip working horses with Jim, -Stay out front and notify of anything that might spook the team. -Return home, Bring Brenda. For emergencies. Get him a harness so he can haul his own water. He'll know it's time to work. Commands not requests. He looks like a fine pup. Nice edit, thanks for sharing.

[@Victoriaghh]

Amazing seeing three horses work together so well. Glad you're still ploughing even if some spots are rough. It'll beneifit in the end. ❤

[@charlesmielke9859]

Awesome horses!

[@willwipf7030]

Hope I am still around when the three sisters work together like the three brothers, they be beautiful,

[@territn8871]

That is if Lady's next foal is a filly! She's already got 2 fillys, but her next foal isn't due till next summer! Bree and June will definitely make a beautiful team!!!! Lady's next foal will be a full-blooded Belgian since she was bred to a Belgian stud this time.

[@gentlegiants1974]

Jim that is a Blue Ribbon plowing job compared to the chicken scratches I'm making breaking a pair of 4 yr olds to plow on the walking plow. Gives me a good workout too.

[@KhlaBaiTong]

So amazing

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Hey,Brenda what yield will you get from your two apple trees?Apple pie is my favorite. My Mother made some great apple pies.She used lard in her crust,it was so flakey.😊

[@JudithHarmer]

Hi Jim and Brender just to say how much I enjoy watching your films it takes me back to my childhood, I was brought up on a farm in England and miss it very much, just one question ,why do some farmers not plough these days, keep up the good work Mick.

[@charmagne70]

What about going over those compacted areas with a subsoiler. That's what my grandpa used to use. He said that worked well to solve problems like this field has.

[@chips4974]

Jim at the " International Plowing Match " some competitors bolted weights to their mould boards .😊😊😊

[@markwoodworth1395]

When you get to the hard packed part, have you tried leveling the plow frame by lowering the other side? That might help your contact in the furrow…

[@chips4974]

Jim your being to critical on yourself .8 acres of oats ( and grass seed ) and 3 acres of cob corn in a normal year , your cultivation practices are just fine . A 14 inch plow your horses walk 7 miles to plow one acre of ground . So therfore at 3mph , 2hrs and 20 mins to plow an acre .But factor in rest stops , you and your horses are doing a fine job , in my humble opinion .😊😊😊

[@scottburris9842]

heard Jim take a stomach shot on one of those rough spots...need an air ride seat

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

I mean really you're going to disc it up anyways and it's going to be smooth when you do that hopefully

[@Ralph94967]

Grounds just needing a bit of moisture in the dry places is all hey once you go over it with the harrows it will even itself out

[@rolfberg8636]

Will be nice! In Sweden we call it figure ploughing when you follow the shapes of the field

[@tommygustavsson6990]

As an old blacksmith I would have sharpened the blade on the plow

[@marvinrathke3640]

You may need a new plow point to get deeper into the compacted ground. I learned from an old blacksmith that if the point is wore much it wont go in the way it should.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Looking good to me.Are you Looking for your 1st snow of the year? I bet Paul Smiths will get before you.

[@michaelbissen1946]

Brenda, how many steps do you walk in a day? Makes me tired thinking about that #. 😅

[@sueupham2519]

a slim and trim gal !!

[@rejeang.larocque1182]

Jim,I know a lot of guys pratice no tiles farming and after few years depending on their soil conditions they have to much compaction that it would prevent their tiles to work the way they should and that is when they chisel plow it over.

[@joqlady888]

That team looks so good. Won't the ground get back to normal eventually? Everything is just not perfect. - lov from south alabama.

[@Adelineward-ix7lg]

That was a very interesting video.

[@RobertJones-ey9qz]

Several years back, I was plowing with my JD 4-16 plow and my ground is pretty heavy clay. There were places where the ground was so hard it would push my plow up out of the ground. Then I decided I needed new plow points. Once I had them on, my plow would go down deeper than I had ever seen and stay there no matter where I was in the field. That was the first time I had seen my Oliver 1850 grunt a little. I said all that to say this, maybe your plow points could use a little work so they might stay down a little better for you.

[@michaelsavage4414]

First off let me say I know nothing about horses or plowing or farming (other than I like watching your videos...very entertaining!), but you made me kind of worried when you were kneeling right next to that plow while explaining why it wasn't plowing well. It seemed to me that if those horses bolted for some reason you could sustain a serious injury being that close to the plow. Not meant as a criticism, just an observation! Thanks for all you do!

[@jimborer1524]

I am wondering about the size difference between Lady's fillies. Is June definitely darker?

[@sueboettcher]

June is definitely a little more Suffolk-colored.

[@sueboettcher]

How in the world do you tell them apart?? Baron has a lighter colored tail but I can’t tell the other two apart from the back.

[@andrewmoran7353]

🧐 Nice to know problems and circumstances , circumventing to provide good solutions, doesn’t hurt having a great team / experience 🤭 no problem making mistakes otherwise you’ll never know the right answer 👍👋

[@scottburris9842]

lol...Brenda cant film in front of Duke n Earl...they wanna stop for attention

[@markhowes126]

Are those kverneland bottoms on that plow? On my kverneland plow you could bolt a plow point on the front of the plow share. Really helped keep plow in the ground on hard soil.

[@kennybolt8329]

As many horses as you have now you need a 2 or 3 point plow.

[@maryleonard6381]

The trees with the red leaves are so pretty, what type of tree is it?

[@chips4974]

Mary this is just a general observation. Maples ,red . Oaks , brown . Birch and Poplars yellow . Sumac ( a shrub) bright red . But site , tree health and type of summer can effect color. Plus a strong wind can effect time . Reminds me of the man from Saudi Arabia who thought our trees were this color all year long , and how beautiful our country side was .😊

[@maryleonard6381]

Thanks Chips!

[@chips4974]

Your welcome .😊

[@frankdrahos8569]

Can you run a subsoiler through those compacted areas? Is there such a thing as a horse drawn subsoiler? Would you need to be worried about grabbing hold of the drain tile? Beautiful team of three Suffolks! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@bryanhollington2522]

Maybe add weight to the arms of the moldboard.

[@alexandersjostrom5933]

How are the points on the plow? It's hard to see in the video but they do look a little short right?

[@JuneSmith-pk4zc]

It would be hard on you and your horses but to plow across the grain where you have just plowed might help in the long run. It is up to you i am just a watcher in utube

[@CameronClifford-oc3vc]

How many miles does Brenda walk while filming?

[@toniberry3908]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gwilliams4444]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@legend7ify]

.............................

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Oh yeah, you are doing a 'terrible job'; most people who plow with horses would be happy to do half as good a job, especially when the ground is that dry. The three young horses are working very well. Look how they are calmly standing, but also pulling energetically and steadily

[@justinallmond3855]

Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

[@williamsmith5514]

Jesus is perfect you and I are not perfect , so accept conditions as they are but brings thoughts on how to improve .
