That is gorgeous This is the first spring I actually have some cover crop growth ahead of the row crops A lot of years I look at you guys down south and think man that is so nice because we have green fuzz. LOL I found with covers that the Planters have no problem making the slot and putting the seed in the ground. It actually works really well but closing the slot is the challenge

i am amazed how that planted so easy into that Rye , really thought it would block the planter but you did it know problem at all , the weather been so wet here in the UK too but its drying up now I am looking at doing my first Cut Silage in the next week I hope , good luck with your planting Wes , hopefully it goes well from now on

[@WesFarms]

Good luck to you too! It seems like it does better planting into rye 🤷‍♂️

For planting in the green may I suggest watching griggs farm on KZbin. They are based here in Tennessee, but plant in cover crops. Might give y'all some ideas for planting in cover crops. Have a great weekend.

In the Netherlands are we also late. It is wet since october and begin of may we have 2 weeks that we on the field. And the other days it was to wet but we need to do the work on the field. Not ideal but when we are waiting for good conditions we con do only the half of the work.

[@WesFarms]

The whole U.S. is fighting wet weather as well. Good luck to you and I hope you can get all the work done!

Always enjoy your videos. How many acres of the total you plant are done as of now?

I have a question for you? why does farmers buy two planners??? I know a lot farners use Air Drills and not use old Drills???

[@WesFarms]

Some bigger farms need multiple planters. There has been a lot of research the past few years that shows planting soybeans earlier than corn results in much higher yields so many farmers have one rig for corn and one rig for beans. We like the air seeder for its simplicity and speed. Planters are more precise but seeders and drills get the job done. It’s all personal preference.

@@WesFarms ok thanks for asking my question 😉

[@zilla2006able]

😍😍😁

[@remko1238]

Seems like you need a phd to be a farmer 😯 (but i’m just a Dutch city man)

[@WesFarms]

We have to know a little about everything that’s for sure!
