Another amazing video! Love the different angles, I could watch that bottom plow turn soil all day long! Reminds me of my childhood! Keep'em Coming Patrick!

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks for watching/commenting Rob

[@joshuawmontgomeryusmc]

Great video. Love hearing that 8530 grunt. The icing on the cake was the 4960.

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks for watching Joshua. I knew most viewers would like that 1,2 punch combination

[@FC-cz6zd]

That field looks amazing. Praying for rain in your neck of the woods.

Thanks FC

Nice work Patrick.

Love the smell fresh turned over ground

[@PatrickShivers]

I’ve been wanting to make “peanut season” cologne for years. Smells like fresh flipped peanuts (dirt).

Rolling coal!! 🚜 love hearing those diesel engines.. soil looks great.. do you ever test the soil ??

Every year, every section of every field in January-February

Great video Patrick

Thanks Greg

Patrick i hope got that rain. It`s a dust bowl here. Beautiful soil work.

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks Chris. I got about a tenth at my house, not enough to measure at the store

[@chadsmith14]

Hey are you running water in them front tires or the duals. Our 360s have to have 3/4 full all four across the front and still in unlevel or hard dirt our bedders or strip till will still drag it around some

[@PatrickShivers]

No water in the tires. The rear inner wheels are toting a full set of weights and are a thicker gauge (heavier) wheel than what is common in the south. When strip tilling or bedding with JD 8335R or Versatile 310 we do add water to front and rear.

I had good luck with orange bulldog here in south alabama. Also planted a blue/gray variety called blue bayou that did really well. Will be looking forward to seeing how the pumpkins work for you.

[@PatrickShivers]

Did you direct seed or transplant? What spacing? Where about in LA? I grew Dill’s Atlantic Giant with some success last year. I also had a buckskin variety that did great. 2 more varieties that did nothing. I will be posting a short soon detailing our Giant Pumpkin Competition. Please consider entering it.

[@davidmontgomery8346]

@@PatrickShivers direct seed. 2' in row, 10' between rows. Used drip tape. SW Alabama Clarke county. I planted a tan variety called long island cheese that did well also. Just like a flat butternut basically, tasted good too. I can send you some seed from a couple strange varieties that do good if you want.

Growing food isn't that complicated. I mean, you can take a tomato, dig a hole, drop it in and leave it alone. They know what to do, and they do it. We over complicate the Lords way of sowing and reaping. I about cracked up when you had the measuring tape. My pappy used to plow, and toss out the seeds by hand. The stuff always grew. We always had food.

[@PatrickShivers]

You’d be surprised how many people can watch a tillage video on their phone and know “exactly” how deep you are running and tell you how deep you should have been running

[@jongoodspeed5495]

I think the larger the plow (number of bottoms) the illusion is to be plowing shallower. Not so as you have proven.

[@PatrickShivers]

On an earlier plow video a viewer accused me of running shallow and doubted the depth I said I was running.

[@mythreesonsfarms]

Patrick, don't you listen to those knuckleheaded comments on here. They are just trying to piss you off. Probably never farmed in their life.

[@PatrickShivers]

It doesn’t bother me at all. I often chuckle when viewers think they can accurately judge tillage depth by watching a video on their phone. I like showing the measurements and providing as much information as possible.

How fare are you from pickin corn ?

[@PatrickShivers]

Roasting ears in about 1 month, full on harvest early august

[@brycekirby1567]

Disregard all silly unhelpful comments

[@davidwhisnant3230]

No cotton I thought everyone grew in your part of the world

[@PatrickShivers]

*Almost everyone

[@PatrickShivers]

No one else grows produce around here either. I just do things a little different. Daddy retired off of cotton. Grandpa did it off of peanuts.
