I remember when I was a teenager my great uncle would plant a river bottom in field corn and when the corn would start busting though the ground my cousin myself and my brother would spread out around the field and shoot crows just like you would dove hunt we would leave them were ever they fell. To us it was fun and good practice for dove hunting now I know why my uncle supplied us the shells .

[@Jtwes]

That’s what you have to do if you want a corn crop.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

Hey Joey. I finally got around to commenting. As I have said before, I enjoy other folks comments and like to see what is happening in their world. Lots of rain for some. MI weather is seemingly goofy. Gives us something else to complain about. I love watching the A work. Puts a smile on my face. Like you have repeatedly said, treating the seeds next year may well do the trick. Thanks for sharing. Stan here.

[@Jtwes]

It’s got this train type humming noise that I’ve grown to like. Let’s you know she’s taken care of business. Lol

[@pecangrovems]

Brother I caught squirrels pulling mine up when it was that big. I thought it was crows till I seen him. Of coarse he's not here anymore.

[@Jtwes]

I was telling another fellow I don’t have a problem going that route I’m just never here to do that. Lol

[@jvin248]

I'm up here where it freezes up to four foot in the ground over winter and I must have missed digging some sweet potatoes because I see vines started. I'll need to make sure and save some of those for seed!

[@Jtwes]

Yes sir. They really want to live.

[@eugenemartin5918]

Joey, you looking mighty comfortable up on that SuperA. That 140 gonna get jealous. 😂 Thanks for sharing.

[@Jtwes]

I do miss my seat and bigger steering wheel.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

We have had a little of 7" of rain in about a week here. Too wet to do anything. I snuck in the first past cultivating my corn and sunflowers this last weekend cause i jad to do it or i was going to loose them to grass. It was really too wet. I delt with the mud and almost got stuck twice and had to pick up on the cultivators. You have to do what you have to do sometimes. At least it had a few days to dry that grass out before the next rain.

[@Jtwes]

I know what you mean. If you noticed that silver Queen had been gone through couple days before that video to get it to dry out faster. I couldn’t let down the back feet and it was spinning half way up the row.

[@tater357]

I've never heard of the flour thing to get rid of potato Bugs, but it makes a LOT of sense. Thank you.

[@Jtwes]

I was being a little bit coy . It was 7 dust. Lol

[@stanleyconrad4234]

@@JtwesSo, does that mean I should not bake using 7 dust?

[@JoTa8389-gu9vi]

Old timers used to soak some extra seed corn in strong salt water and throw it in the middles of the rows. But I've not seen anyone do that in decades.

[@Jtwes]

I’ve heard of that just not the salt part.

[@johnnyedgerton9936]

Your garden is looking good. I thank the Lord I haven't had any problems with crows. I saw the caption in the last video but didn't have the heart to mention it.

[@Jtwes]

lol That’s ok there are so many other things that are worse than losing Jimmy Red to crows.

[@Railfan90]

I think I’ll need to get me a pontoon boat to mount my rolling cultivators to with how wet it is.

[@jpeel2066]

Great video. You must have a good climate for growing. Everything looks like it grows twice as fast as it does here. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Jpeel we have been getting some good rain here lately. The soil is good also.

[@zone7home824]

Hey Joey, I had 12" high corn damage just like yours and thought it was birds too but after setting up a trail cam along the rows, I discovered it was squirrels doing the dirty deed. I bet you have a squirrel problem there too. Set up a cheap trail cam and find out for sure. Good luck.

[@Jtwes]

I did see the crows flying away . I haven’t seen a squirrel in years. Leno has 3 cats that Rome the yard .

[@jvin248]

Some days you need to plant enough for you and the critters too.

[@Jtwes]

That Jimmy Red was probably about an acre.

[@tomc4634]

@@Jtwes oof

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I've seen some big crows before but I've never seen them mess with corn that big. I got my stuff plowed Monday before this last round of rain and it's doing good. So far, I've only had to replant one tomato plant and one hill of cucumbers. That Super A is a cultivating machine.

[@Jtwes]

It was a first for me too.

[@scott6052]

Crows wiped out half of mine. I put out some pie pans and black water pipe. That stopped crows, but some other small bird got into the corn.

[@Jtwes]

I hope that seed coating works good. We might be on to something.

[@tommynorwood5184]

Hi Joey , I will say I have never seen corn 🌽 that tall pulled up. What have you ever done to the crows around your area to make them do your crops like that. Sounds like we just need to have an old fashioned corn shooting. Mist Monday night live but had a good excuse. Me,the wife and son plus 2 grandkids were planting the garden. Then on Tuesday we got around 3 inches of rain. I am not complaining,will take all we get and be thankful. Always plant before or after Mother’s Day . Joey just keep on doing what you do it’s who you are. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week. 😎😎 👍

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Tommy. I checked the gauge this morning and couldn’t believe it. 5 1/2 inches.

[@bartsexton1652]

Praise the Lord we only got a inch and a eighth. I still had water standing in some of my rows today . We have heavy soil and where my garden is it would be a pond if we got 5 inches.

[@joelhenderson5404]

Just tractor action on korn is so relaxing for me.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Joel

[@gwaynel8363]

Garden is looking good. All the best from Greensboro NC.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Gurney. God Bless

[@bartsexton1652]

Instead of plow day you need to have Crow kill and clean

[@williammay5300]

The silver queen corn is looking good so far...

[@Jtwes]

Yes sir what’s left but that’s why I decided to leave it.

[@1968JohnDeere]

Garden looks good. My great uncle had a super A and a regular A with a vacuum lift on. Plowed lots of tobacco with them. Keep up the good work

[@Jtwes]

Thank you kindly.

[@johnhall1614]

Looks awesome buddy!!

[@hawkinscsa]

We planted sunflowers this year too! 👍🏻

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video Joey. Beautiful garden. Man those crows are hateful. I've heard of putting terpentine on the seed as a kid. That stuff you are talking about is probably going to be your best bet. If you knew someone who likes to crow hunt would help but probably no one is down your way. Hope you are able to save the rest. God Bless Y'all. Sorry I missed your live.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Bart I contacted Avipal about the seed coating. I’m waiting on them to get back to me.

[@lawsonlawnandfarm8073]

Wow I’ve never seen it pulled up that tall before.. too bad ya can’t get the purple stuff in the can anymore to coat the seed. That stuff worked great. I used my last can of it while back and now we how trouble with crows too

[@Jtwes]

Maybe I could spray paint it. Lol

[@scottbehr5690]

A lawn chair and a 12ga. will make em "sick" for good! We eat the scapes off our garlic...taste like green onions!

[@Jtwes]

I grilled one for Sammy that day. He didn’t like it. Lol

[@Paulford369]

Danged ole crows!

[@robertmarino2158]

Keep up the great work on your videos , try to stay positive on garden problems , looking very nice .

[@robertmarino2158]

😅Jtwes watched true grit , Appalachian way farm small garden ,big problem with crows this year , not sure why , have to replant, Andy & Megan , nice family .

[@Jtwes]

I was watching that this morning. They are a nice family.

[@joshpatterson1582]

Sprinkle kerosene on the seed. Take the extra coated seed and sprinkle at the end of a few rows. Old farmers tale says crows will start at the end of the rows near cover and work towards the middle. 🤷‍♂️ seems to work

[@Jtwes]

Sounds like a plan. I contacted Avipal about there seed coating. Hope they get back soon.

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Silver Queen is looking good. Them crows are hungry , put them in a Gumbo. Your right , not a lot a seeds in that pack.

[@Jtwes]

Probably not much meat on them.

[@bobbyscott8024]

Hey Joey, your soil looks good after plowing it! None of our Green beans ( Tenderettes) came up and all 4 rows of our Butter beans came up. Tiffany said we'd just plant 2 more rows of Butter beans! The Super A sounds good. We had over 5'' of rain here in Sophia! Btw, do you have any Ravens over there? We have 3 that show up here occasionally. I guess they migrated from Pilot Mtn.,lol! 🤣🤣🤣Take care!

[@Jtwes]

Hey Bobby butter beans are good eating also. Yes sir we have plenty of crows and ravens.

[@richardschaffling9882]

Every year I have had trouble with crows so last year I hung tin foil pans in the garden I don’t know if it helped because we had a lot of hawks and some eagles and this year I have only seen one crow

[@Jtwes]

That will work. I had good success with the ribbon it’s just when I took it off the got it.

[@markmoore8616]

They took all of mine but 4 stalks. I couldn't believe it.

[@Jtwes]

I know how you feel.

[@garytawbush6765]

That's what i was telling you bout mine that was bout the size maybe a smidge smaller them crows got mine picked like a picked chicken🤣🤣🤣 maybe lookin for a boom canon

[@Jtwes]

I really want to try that seed coating I believe that’s going to be the trick.

[@customcutter100]

I don't know what the crow stuff cost that you put on the Jimmy Red. I would suggest an Icotec or Fox Pro game call. Set it on crow call and in 2 minutes you'll have more crows than you can shoot. Just set up in a blind or edge of trees before you turn it on. I shot one with my my Prophet 2 PCP air rifle last year. Didn't see crows for months. Call is $150 or less and works great. God Bless

[@Jtwes]

That would be good if I had the time. My latest video has the Avipel

[@Dunlap-uj5zl]

👍

[@Jtwes]

Thank You sir.

[@dylanhockaday9878]

I’ve gat a lot of Jimmey red if you want to try it again

[@Jtwes]

Hey Dylan . I’ve still got quite a bit . Thank you .

[@jameskelly8470]

Can we plant garlic between the corn to chase off the crows with smell. Just kidding!

[@Jtwes]

I wished. Lol

[@waveoglesby2920]

You can put crow away on that corn seed and the crows will go away and not eat your corn.

[@Jtwes]

I looked for that and couldn’t find it. Did a google search that’s how I found the other.

[@kevinchavis8540]

What kind of poison for your potato bugs

7 dust works good.

My okra is looks about the same as yours and needs to be thinned. How big do let yours get before you thin it ?

[@Jtwes]

Most anytime after it comes up. Less crowded early the better off you are.

@@Jtwes OK thanks, I'll get to thinning tomorrow.
