Interesting vlog today! Tillage radish is a new one to me....do you harvest them at some point or what is the process in terms of Tillage radishes? are they usable as animal fodder?

[@jhendricks61]

They are excellent forage. But the idea is they have huge long taproots sometimes up to 10 feet that break the hard pan and draw nutrients from the deep mineral layers of the soil.

[@cassidylockard1527]

How much r the tillage radishes?

[@j.j.6050]

Awesome. You look like you're having fun. Not only will the clover feed the soil, it will feed the bees, too.

[@jacobhodovan5002]

Have a good day

[@bcgrittner]

Trouble is one cute cat and looks very much like a cat I had years ago. She was incredibly affectionate. I miss her. Land management is the name of the game in the farming business. You're on the right track, Josh. Well done. Very informative.

[@petermavus4131]

I seed this vid and learned a lot....Thanks Josh....can,t wait to see what spring will bring

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video

[@dub-dub4207]

Thanks for the video homeboy

[@raymondhinds3539]

Excellent explanation of the process for seeding the ground. What is certified seed? How deep is the seed planted? Looking forward to your next video and many thanks for bringing back good memories.

[@davemi00]

For my Broadcast Spreaders ... I just cover the Seed with water, overnight. It Will Expand to Twice the Volume, so leave plenty of room, in a large plastic tub. Then I add inoculate, if called for & broadcast the seed. It comes up faster & more successfully.

[@Giroux68]

Feed the soil = bury the Stoney part of the ridge in goodnesses. Whooo!

[@davidvelen9835]

Great stuff Josh your property is looking beautiful and has come a long way, how do you run the tractors and fly drone at same time or is Mrs Stoney Ridge doing that for you. Keep up the great work WOOOO!! David Spring TX.

[@clarkwheeler8764]

When you were just a boy, who would ever thought that one day you would be "out standing" in your field? Yup, you sure are!! Standing right out there working hard and hoping for results.

That farm is looking dang great bud! WOOOOO

The green, green grass of Stoney Ridge woooo. Looking good Josh. 👍🏻

[@lesbecker6412]

I sell Massey Ferguson tractors (also a couple more brands). We give our customers a quart of QMI to start them off with a really good fuel treatment. You might check it out and see if it helps with your water issue. It works well in gas engines as well and could be the "one product" to help maintain all fuel systems on your farm.

[@caseycrb3115]

I have the same problem with water in diesel. I drained both the tractor and tank on truck. Then when I get diesel just get enough for what your going to use for a few days. It’s cheaper then fuel filter every other day.

[@danieltosta769]

So helpful thanks

[@bduff5004]

Happy Veterans Day Love your vids trying to do the same on a very small gentleman farm.

[@sonnyjordan1911]

Keep up the videos stony I like them a lot

[@robertkoons1154]

We always mixed all the seed for an area outside the drill for more even distribution. Our feed and grain guy did this for free if we bought the seed from him.

[@travisbucholz]

Keep up the good work, Josh!

[@jth030966]

I know this is a older video you just put up hope you got the john deere 5065e going your fields are looking great i went back and rewatched a few of your videos of when all of them fields were dirt it has came along way just keep up the good work its starting to pay off

[@rickkern5785]

I think you should be in the Golf course prep business... looking pretty smooth

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Got ourselves a blank canvas to build a farm as beautiful as we'd like. Beauty and function is the thought process here....funny you mention the golf course...my local golf course owner stopped by and complemented me the other day lol

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

Yea you have to test every thing till you find what works best for your land. We have a bad flooding or standing water in all our fields. This summer was very bad for cows here. We lost about 4 head and had to sell the rest before they got sick. If we can fix the water issue we will get more cows.

[@johnshoureas1629]

You must be buying the new "Winter Blend" diesel fuel...... 50% diesel and 50% water.

[@rosejafari8917]

Why would you want to have water mixed in the fuel especially for winter?

[@johnshoureas1629]

@@rosejafari8917 Because as water freezes it expands, which would rise in the tank and give you more fuel. It's a 10% savings during the winter months as a consumer gift from the oil companies.

[@williamj.stilianessis1851]

@@rosejafari8917 I think you missed the joking sarcasm in the reply. You do NOT want water in the tank or fuel. However, diesel manages to accumulate more condensate than gasoline and naturally settles in the tank. Hence the water blow off valves on the bottom and or built into the fuel line. I drain mine at least weekly. I don't get much, but to me, any is too much. And don't bother with the isopropyl alcohol mixes for fuel. It will rot a rubber fuel hose in no time at all. Just bleed the lines and keep as warm as possible.

[@rosejafari8917]

I thought they might be trying the H204GAS method. Thanks for the comment to clarify.

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Nice music in this one. I just started going through the KZbin music to find what fits for me.

[@garygolden5262]

Glad you had a beautiful day to plant some hay hay😁

[@longlowdog]

It is very interesting to see how similar the systems of pasture improvement are despite the many miles and many degrees temperature difference between your place and mine. I've used calcium prills for short term Ph rectification though ground lime has given longer term and a more significant Ph lift. Where you are using fodder radish I've used chicory and plantain to add humus to the lower layers of my soil, building soil from both below as well as above. The chicory and plantain are also believed to have a beneficial effect reducing gastrointestinal parasites in grazing animals. Deer also love chicory and it makes a very attractive flower if left to grow in deer plots or field margins. I can't wait to see how your farm progresses and what livestock you intend to keep. Regards from Angus in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

[@jamesmandl9302]

Have a look at the Fass fuel separator system.

[@ronneitzel2869]

Good morning Josh, tillage radish? great advice for all but can you give me a bit more detail on that radish?

[@bigjtateshell]

Good morning from florida.

[@majorpayne5289]

👍Good stuff Josh. That seed driller is pretty sweet. Gonna be nice this spring. I drilled my postage stamp size yard a couple months ago & really surprised me w/ it’s nice growth. Good 🍀 luck but u won’t need it. Proper planning, hard work = great results ✌️🇺🇸👍

[@deanlawson6880]

Cool video - Thanks for this Josh! I didn't know about tillage radish. We have really hard clay-soil here where I'm at in Kansas. I'll look at planting some of that in our hayfield next fall. (too late for now this year..)

[@themintlord4744]

I just learned to use a skid steer mower. Lots of fun, might be good to have one for your farm

I like your video how much land did clear and how much do you own I am Aaron Vincent I live in Kentucky we have a 6700 ford tractor with a cab me and dad and we have a 8340 ford new Holland with a cab me and dad rolls hay and sales it rolled bales the 6700 is 70 to 75 horsepower the 8340 is 100 to 105 horsepower like to here from you hopefully I will see you at farm show in Louisville Kentucky in February

[@scottt8424]

Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and I was thinking about that problem that you have with the water getting into the gas well did you ever check the gas cap maybe the rubber gasket is shots

[@thephotographicauditor6715]

Tks Josh! Crimson clover is awesome too, but $$$$$.

[@larrysutton6530]

Hey brother love the video as normal and the farm is looking great. I was wondering how your wife's arm is doing I pray for both of your health and well being as well as your continued success in everything you do god bless you

[@wmkess]

What variety of fescue did you seed? Regular tall fescue or a novel variety like Max Q? To your water issue, can you add a canister style fuel/water separator to the remote tank? They are very simple and work well on boats. Some have a clear reservoir and allow you to drain the accumulated water without changing the spin off filter canister.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

We started off using k32 tall fescue...but have moved on to k31 tall since if you have any k31 mixed in with the k32 it will cross breed and no longer be endophyte free....why waste the additional cost of k32 right

[@wmkess]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yeah, I have heard the same thing and it does make sense. Looking forward to a video in the future to show the progress of your forages.

[@johnwootton9031]

Try sea foam for the water problem in the fuel you can get it at any auto parts store.

[@r.soleprop329]

Love your videos, Josh. Do you think the Ventrac Aeravator would work for seeding a small pasture?

[@SandysAdventures]

Very Interesting. Love the tractor. I just hadsomeone ask me to buy one for a Christmas gift. Haha, not before I get one.

[@phillully4472]

Lots of acreage to seed Josh.. how do you manage to do all the farm stuff and still work at your nursing profession? Hope Mrs. Stoney Ridge's arm is getting better. Catch ya later on the next video.

[@jinglongzhang7046]

Hi Josh, thanks for share the nice vlog, i am confused because i am not good at English, may i know if you sowing the 3 kinds of seeds together into the soil for improving soil health? it is very common in your area? thanks

[@gmraper]

Appreciate your videos. My farm is pretty close over in Rowan County. Where did you purchase the tillage radish?

[@clearvuehomeinspection7793]

How do you like the Timothy Grass? We are planning to drill over our fields and are debating on which grasses to use. Thanks!

[@putmeincoach7663]

Forgive me if I've missed it, but are you doing any subsoiling in the areas that aren't draining well? Highly recommend it!

[@johnnyessick7208]

What’s you favorite tractor?

[@BillCoSmith]

How much does a grin drill cost if you buy it?

[@deanlawson6880]

I paid about $1,500.00 for my used John Deere 8200 grain drill here in Kansas. it's a 10' tractor-pull grain drill that can drill everything from small clover and Alfalfa (I grow Alfalfa here in my hay field) all the way to Oat, and Rye and all types of wheat and all the way up to cowpeas. Watch the auction sites for good deals on all this stuff. Big farmers are always buying new equipment, and selling off the old used gear for whatever they can get for it. Smaller farms can get really good deals buying their older used gear.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

the land pride seeder here in canada at my kubota dealer is around $15,900 and the deere 450 seeder is around $35,000 plus my kubota case dealer has rental service too plus my kubota and case dealer gives veterans 50% discount wich veterans pays little less wich why my kubota and case dealer cares alot for veterans wich deeres here in canada doesnt have it

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

It's coming up nicely my friend

[@bcooper7352]

How much an acre for seed only

[@briankarlsen6676]

Does ot mix the seed in the slots or is it like every 3rd slot is the same seed difrent slots for each seed

[@Will7981]

$15/acre sounds like nothing to compared to the nice result it produces and the value it's adding to your land.

[@larrysutton6530]

It's not if you only have to use it once per acre but I have seen Josh have to go through the same area several times before he gets the results he wants and for his farm once over the whole thing is still $2200 to $3000 just in rental fees then you have to add on the seed costs. I guess my point is that while it is cheaper there is still a good chunk of money involved

[@robbielondon226]

Oh never mind lol 😂
