Personal Discussion, Raccoons in Sweet Corn! Gardening Time with Tim

[@Turkey_Bluff_Farms]

That was such a fitting Home Going Service for your farther. God bless the family in your time of loss Tim.

[@blueglide1]

Little goldens and reds are the best!! So sorry for your loss,I cried like a baby at the gravesite when they blew taps for my dad.

[@dwayneloftice2326]

My condolences are a bit late, but your memories will be treasured for a lifetime. My family's blessing to all of you! Great fencing solution. I specifically like the solar-powered feature! Those little masked-bandit critters will eat an acre of grapes in one night. They come to visit in numbers as if holding a "convention".

[@markmoore1819]

Very nice going home for your father he would be very proud. Praying for you and your family

[@hightechhum7402]

Thank you for sharing your family with us. Your dad riding the Oliver tractor one last time was a beautiful idea.

[@waynejones1239]

Sorry for your loss your dad was a nice guy we will pray for you and your family.

[@lucaskrones5033]

I am sorry for you loss of your dad and I am joining your videos and keep up the great work on your videos.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for joining us!

[@lucaskrones5033]

No problem I joined see your dad in same of your videos and he is going to be miss seen him in your videos and try to stay safe out there on your jobs.

[@farmerwood]

Sorry for your loss I will keep him in prayer and some day we will all be together in heaven and will have good times. You did a nice job on the service by having it in his own yard and I’m sure he is very happy with your whole family Tim.

[@rickedwards2427]

Sorry for you & your families loss. Your Dad went with style❤️🙏🏼✝😊

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

God bless everyone at TTWT!

[@ilmo2313]

Our neighbor brought us some sweet corn a few days ago and it was very good. We processed six dozen and put in the freezer and left another dozen on the cob for a couple meals. Thanks for sharing those few pictures of you dad's funeral. Quite unique and thoughtful in the way your family honored him.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the card! You guys have been wonderful!

[@tommcmillan3143]

Great episode! Thanks for the easy fix for a big problem which I hadn't even considered. Electric fence is a perfect solution! Thanks!

[@2chipped]

Am sorry for your loss,lost my dad 8 yrs ago. Several tips . If your soil is loose enough, use the loader to push them down. For a hotter fence,keep the soil around the ground rod damp. Our corn was over with in SE Ga in the middle of June. Summer's best meal is fresh 🌽, and tomato sandwiches,which drip down you arms lol

[@kriptick1]

No, thank you for being a God loving, respectful man that’s enjoyable and educational to watch.

[@botabob]

a beautiful tribute for your dad.

[@ibanezshafer1]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for you

[@ericlaker1983]

Thank you Tim and Cristy!! You my friend are very brave and strong. Not sure I could do what your and family don't. Losing a loved one is very difficult. You guys are amazing. you treat us viewers like family by sharing the events/ info. I really enjoy the videos. Sincerely amazing what you guys done for your dad and family, tight knit !! I know it's difficult. Thanks so much for the video. By the way thank for the potato info. We grew our first patch this year. They were small like yours and don't taste quiet right!! I thought that maybe I done something wrong but the plant on top was brown like yours so I'm certain they were some growing. Thank you Tim and Christy

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure what could affect the taste. It is likely the variety of potato. The tops will die like ours...normal part of the process. They usually die before you think they should.

[@ziggycoops]

Hey Tim, only found out about your dad in this episode, heart goes out to you and your family.🙏🙏

[@daveschmidt5713]

Thanks for the heads up. I will be referring to the critter as Procyon lotor.

[@Bigtoolrack]

Thanks Tim I hope you and your family are well!

[@BornToFarm101MN]

Neighbor guy that always had the best sweet corn growing up always had an electric fence and he also plugged an AM radio on next to the fencer so their was some commotion next to the field to also discourage raccoons. Corn looks great!

[@JeffStewart78..]

I personally think that any amount of food you can grow on your own is a win. Those potatoes look like the perfect size for roasted potatoes wedges. The most important part of the big tool rack is it has a place to sit and eat a cheeseburger with your roasted potatoes. Mmm great video.

[@bcooper7352]

So sorry for your loss Tim

[@mr.gtmsworld2494]

Sorry for your loss! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@curtweatherbee2523]

Oh Tim sorry to hear my condolences go out to you and your family⭐️💫

[@bradperkins3337]

God bless y’all, such wonderful people. Love your videos only complaint I could ever have is they are not often enough. I check everyday for videos from y’all.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks so much! We do 3 episodes per week. We have found that if we attempt to do more episodes, the quality is compromised. Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday mornings, 7am ....that is the current schedule. Subject to change of course.

[@jacobburke4534]

Using the Oliver to take your Dad to the cemetery was amazing. That was a great way to honor him. Prayers for all of you. Stay safe & healthy.

[@larrypoeschel6871]

Hey Tim I just heard about your dad. My thoughts are with your family. Nice you had the celebration at home. Take care Larry

[@TimGS53154]

Sorry about your dad; may you and your family find peace😔

[@rogerhuber3133]

Here in NW Arkansas on Dragon Hill Farm my raccoons have different taste buds. They let the deer eat the corn and they go for chicken! I'm down to 6 hens from 35 in May! They have been teaching the youngsters how to catch and kill chickens. Seems the younger ones have learned the technique well!

[@andrewslagle1974]

I planted 1 acres of sweet corn ,day before i was going to harvest it . you are right they took every ear!!!!!

[@GrampysTractor]

Very fitting celebration for your Dad, May he never find weeds in his fields again. I really enjoyed this video as the corn harvest nears. I would do some grass mowing for a couple of ears.

[@Kcolby47]

Thanks for sharing the scenes from your dad’s celebration of life. How appropriate and reminiscent of a life well lived. Continued blessings to you and the family.

[@lindacurtis353]

We both have been praying for you as well and thank you for all your time and care teaching us about tractors and beyond. May God continue to build in you and keep you.

[@tallpockets1]

May God grant you Peace in your time of need.

[@keithstickan6486]

That's some good looking corn.

[@nathanrittenhouse3589]

Sorry to hear I know how you feel I lost my dad Prayers coming your way. God Bless your family in these times

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

Man, I didn't know your daddy passed, I pray strength for the family and continued good memories of the pieces of him je left behind in each one of one which on away means he's not totally gone, some of him remains, we are our mothers and fathers in many ways, and we true to live up to them and make them proud or atleast I do amd still can't feel the shoes of my daddy. God bless

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Very recent video. Last project with Tim’s dad

[@theraubsraubs8098]

I am sorry for your loss, we use two layers of fence the first layer has one wire the second layer has three. I couldn't bring myself to harm them just for eating but I don't mind discouraging them.

[@karljacobson1575]

What a great way to celebrate your Fathers life and a great last ride. Very respectful.....

[@waltermattson5566]

It was nice that you could all gather at the farm and do the funeral the way your dad would have wanted it done. When my grandmother passed away the funeral procession stopped in front of their farm for just a second on the way to the cemetery.

[@mikebrandt1959]

Thanks for sharing the clips from your dads celebration. Pretty cool to see his last ride on the tractor, such a fitting tribute to him.

[@dntrodg911]

Tim, I'm very sorry for your loss of your dad. I have been watching y'all for the last few months and it was a shock to me on his passing. I felt like it was my own family and was sadden by it. I grew up on a tractor and have a small farm now. I find myself looking foward to watching you and Christy daily. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming ! Danny Rodgers, Holcomb, Mississippi.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks very much, Danny!

[@dno5779]

And - You can sit on the tailgate! One of the greatest features on pickups is the tailgate.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This one is rated at 100lbs...but I was so hot, decided I would sit on it anyway!

[@martineastburn3679]

Love the fields! I think if you could place the charger/kicker on top of a post or another one, it would see more sun. Nice hints. There was a 'Rac' bar and grill 20 miles from town (likely outside the county) They only had the C words. They were horsemen that hunted the ring tail bandits from stealing their deer and cattle corn. They were serious deer hunters for family food. The number of creeks and rivers in the area kicked up the populations. Memory of 45 years ago. Not PC today.

[@davidwho8215]

Planting that close will net small potatoes and and not as many. You need about a foot between them. And I’m really sorry to hear that your dad passed.

[@ProjectsWithPat]

Tim, driving posts. use the bottom of the loader bucket. use the loader to force the post into the ground with downward force. try it. go slow, make adjustments as needed. those t posts sink right in. almost like using a 3pt auger, go slow, make fwd, rev. adjustments to keep it level. no need to a t post driver (unless the soil is rock hard). i use this method for fixing fence post on my property.

[@eosjoe565]

That might work well for fixing fence posts but for putting them in initially there is no way to hold the post upright and straight. So it would require two people. The ground also has to be very soft. I've tried it. The BEST tool is a gas-powered T-post driver. Turns the job into child's play.

[@jeffrobison2013]

raccoon will usually check the first couple rows to see if corn is ready, my grandmother always planted about 4 rows of late corn and the early in the middle. worked pretty well for years. you can also put a radio under a bucket in the corn patch and leave it on the scare the away. my neighbor did this with a motion switch so it came on when they walked by

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We have not found that to be the case. They will seem to find the exact ears that are ready and leave the rest.

[@kentuckycornbread8502]

What an awesome funeral. Great family I see on my KZbin screen. I’ll have to go through this sooner or later, I’m dreading it but thinking like this makes it so much better.

[@Archer11ca]

Love the send off you gave your father, you guys are a truly great family.

[@rodgerhatfield3068]

You made your dad proud!!! Great job Tim and I really enjoy watching your videos!!!

[@RAM-on8xb]

As usual, I enjoyed your video! I have raccoons that have been helping themselves to my deer corn, so I know your frustration. It was nice to hear an update the service for your Father. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

[@susanschexsnayder3712]

your dad is proud of u for his homegoing i think that he looking at you praising God for u brought him home before is final resting place my prayers to u all garden look great

[@robbailey1234]

The service you had for your dad Tim was the best anyone could have. A church or funeral home is just so not right as to how a person lived when they worked on a farm. Being outside all the time is how he lived and a perfect way to end. Congrats on that even though it may not have seemed right because of the covid19 it was perfect! May the Lord above keep shinning down on you Tim and Christy!

[@sniperal77]

great vid you're doing great and have a lot great ideas

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Alan!

[@patrickjoy9551]

That looked like a wonderful celebration of his life. The last ride on the old tractor was the way he would have wanted it. Thank you for sharing. Prayers to you and your family.

[@tonybaxley7661]

Sorry to hear about your dad. We send our prayers out to you and your family.

[@rafaelcastro9523]

I'm very sorry for your dad passing away Tim .

[@johanbos160]

Nice video tim and nice fotos of your dad's funeral and with the oliver was a brilliant idea, now he is looking down at his wonderful family and is proud.

[@Mitalayeka]

That was a nice farewell to your dad, thanks for sharing guys.

[@Matthewzus]

Excellent celebration of life Tim!! I will miss seeing your father's wisdom on this channel. Prayers to you and your family!

[@khtractors]

I’m sure your Dad would have loved what you all did for his funeral service! I’m going to tell my wife that’s exactly what I want for a funeral. A tent outside with my tractors parked around it! Loved that idea. Im only 35 but you never know when that time maybe. Your corn is looking good. We had some get froze as well during a late cold spell. Have a great day!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This was dad’s first tractor, the Allis B (a replica), and his last tractor. ...then we transported the body with the tractor that he drove more than any other tractor in his life.

[@khtractors]

Tractor Time with Tim it’s quite the honor to any farmer and tractor enthusiast. This is one of those situations where not being able to do things traditional because of the social distancing probably turned out for the better.

[@billfenner7084]

Maybe you should put some sand in the future were you have the potatoes and mix it up with dirt. Just a suggestion. That's how they do it in the northern part of Wisconsin.

[@cedricbrunson737]

Try the poultry netting it works good to keep pests out your garden

[@mrelectron6220]

Tim, so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad my condolences to you and your family. I always liked it when your dad was in your videos.

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I’m glad things went well with your father. My grandmother was 100 when she passed and I get what you mean. It seemed very natural and that helped. It was still sad but she lived a full life and she wasn’t into much pain and it was just very natural and seemed as if it was her time. I’m glad you got to spend time with him and things worked as well as they could. He seemed like a great man and a blessing.

[@jerrybaker433]

I enjoy your videos i learned slot

[@idrive6576]

Tim, your t-post driving reminded me of a loosely related question. Have you ever thought of having fire extinguishers on your tractors? I live in hot, dry Northern California wildfire country. We have repeated large wildfires. Two years ago, a rancher started a fire that burned several thousand acres, while driving in a t-post. Another was caused by trailer safety chains dragging the road. My second 1025 accessory (after Ken's Bolt-On Hooks) was a fire extinguisher. Thanks for what you do!

[@peterkoster5053]

Beautiful funeral service. When we would string out line for our horse pasture we put the line on a small stick in the ball ends of the 3 point hitch and vice gripped them in, and one person drives past the poles and the other just pops them into the clips

[@iampilot21]

Tim, I’m so sorry for the loss of your Father Watching this video stirred up my experience of losing my my Father, Mother and Brother. You made your Father proud... Thank you for sharing this difficult time. I hope our paths cross someday, would be proud to shake your hand. -Brad

[@patcasiliojr.4930]

Loved the photo's from your dads service. Thank you for sharing.

Welcome! Keep watching!

[@timothygunckel7162]

Prayers to your family Tim

[@rogercoomber9598]

Looking forward to see how the other potatoes turn out. Always enjoy the video of you and your Dad in the Combine. Thoughts and prays are with you all Tim. Great video.

[@richpicone7788]

Thanks for the excellent content! Love seeing the notification at 7 am when a new TTWT comes out. Also thanks for sharing the photos of your dads service. That looked pretty cool, and fitting.

[@paulmorgan1897]

Tim, I saw the antenna tower at the house when you were talking about your Dad. Was he Ham operator? I am as well. We share your loss as we said when he passed and our prayers and joy of his salvation are with you and your family. God Bless, Paul & Eve

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No, this was old CB radio antenna. Has been dead for many years. No one wants to make the effort to take it down!

[@peterkober6758]

Tim we feel like we have known you and your family forever and the content of your video are so real God Bless All PaK

[@nashguy207]

Thank you for letting us get to know your family Tim!

[@genedameier8746]

How fitting it was for your father to be taken to his final resting place by his beloved Oliver Tractor. May he Rest In Peace. He will be smiling down upon you all the days of your life.

[@timziegler9358]

My son uses solar electric fence to protect his garden from deer/raccoons etc. It seems to work! It was nice hearing your comments this morning regarding your Father's funeral. It reminded me of how things were when I was a boy. Best wishes.

[@lorzon]

Tim, again my condolences on your father. You'll see him again someday. Just not too soon, we still need you down here for a while. I do have a question though, and you may have answered it and might be sick of answering it, but here it is: In retrospect, knowing what you know now, would you have gotten a 2 series over a 1 series when you were starting out?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Given how we started, no, a 2 series would have been absurd. The 1 series was crazy for our 1/2 acre.

[@dondon-cq5qu]

It was a nice tribute to your father and you have my deepest sympathy. I certainly hope in two weeks with the Covid-19 fest you had, you feel the same way and did not cause grief to other families.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Your judgemental tone is not welcome. If you would read the announcement on our Facebook page, you would see the extreme measures that we implemented to reduce the risk. You’ll probably respond...”but what about the wagon..”. The wagon was all family members who had been together all week.

[@alanhayes3156]

If you have a single turning plow you can get those potatoes out easily. We had my sister's funeral yesterday here in NW Indiana without any restrictions. Thanks for sharing your dad with us.

[@connorhippely2899]

Hope you guys had a good weekend and stay safe.

[@kevinbrad7095]

Did not hear about your dad passing, very sorry, he was a nice man!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Take a look at the recent ‘Last project with dad’ video.

[@neilschuette2346]

I use the bucket on my 1025r to push the posts in. I put in 72 posts for snow fence. I also use the bucket and a tow strap to pull them. Saves on the arms and back. Also faster

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great information Tim 🇺🇸🚜 🚜

[@robertmalis4493]

Sorry to hear about your dad Tim god bless you and your my brother in Christ

[@davelater857]

Nice video, I loved the way you took your father to the grave site

[@dougthegrouch]

Great video. We call them trash bandits. And you are exactly right, they will sniff out the corn just before you're ready for it. I am about 90 min north of you. Our first batch did not come up well and had to replant. Between the cold wet weather and questionable seed, the replant was not not impressive either. As like you, second batch was more like normal. We kinfe in nitrogen every year and that makes a difference. Like the tool rack, been looking at them. Have you looked at a middle buster for johnny, much better than using a pitchfork. I have found in heavier black dirt potatoes grow better if you slighty hill them. I also remember my grandfather cutting, drying potatoes for 3 days, then putting fertilizer in the furry til it was almost white before planting them. Excellent idea for your father. It me, that was going in stlye to the promised land.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Personally, I do not like using a middle buster. I have to get on my hands and knees to dig through the soil by hand after running a middle buster. Why is THAT so good?

[@dougthegrouch]

@@TractorTimewithTim My grandfather has us kids out there behind the potato plow picking up potatoes. Guess for me it is memories of the old days. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[@michaelenglish904]

That single row corn planter is awesome for the 1025r. Now if they only made a single row corn harvester for the 1025r. Great video Tim. And once again i am sorry for the loss of your dad.

[@OHIOMANUSMC]

Another great episode of Tractor Time with Tim

[@tonyparris5278]

That looked like a beautiful service

[@jamie6805]

Tim i just heard about your dad so sorry for you and the family but he is where we all want to be we will see you again god bless you and the family

[@eosjoe565]

It's tough to find a happy medium on Kerplunkers. My dad made one out of a forklift hydraulic cylinder. He took a section of 4-inch cylinder rod, about 18-inches long and welded a T-handle to the top. That thing will drive fence posts in like crazy but it is heavy and will wear you out quickly! It wouldn't take long to end up like Leg Arms from the Welker Farming channel. :-)

[@garywaxler7866]

If you have more corn than you know what to do with, you can always drop some off @ my house on the way to the family farm (depending on which way you go). Just a thought though. lol 🙂

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Just get some from my family’s farm. It is closer to you, and they would be happy to share!

[@matthewsims359]

I live in town, in a subdivision and just the other morning i had six of those little critters on my back porch. My wife had left a big bag of bird seed out and they destroyed the bag and bird seed was everywhere. Huge mess. I might need to put an electric fence around my yard hahaha. Stay well and stay safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Frontpagefab]

So sorry for your loss.

[@bobpurs]

Looked like a great fitting service for your Dad. Your gonna have a lot of sweet corn yum👍.jdmich

[@kurtsimmons1587]

Tim thanks for sharing this. I’m definitely looking into that for next years garden!
