Rocks Peas And VT's

[@Suehorse281]

We switch our crops every year. This year we have beans at the house fields. Next year it will be corn.

[@jimgollogly98]

Good morning Wes. This was a very interesting video. Very informative. And you are a very lucky man to have such a hard working partner. You make a very good pair. Take care and have a good day.

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Wes from Ontario. Dad's farm was my mom's home place, a fairly big stone pile, I told my only younger bro. that I bet good soil & minerals under stone pile, when neighbour bought farm, he level it stone pile boy grass was green & grew well. Ths

[@Greg_Gatsby]

I enjoy learning how you nurture the soil and the seeds you plant. 👍

Wes on that snapping turtle, back when I was a kid my Dad and my brother’s and I were in the Indian guides. We went on a canoe trip. My oldest brother jumped out of his canoe to chase a turtle. My Dad and I caught up with them and my Dad saw the turtle in the canoe. My Dad yelled at my oldest brother to get away from the turtle. My brother had a shocked look and asked why. My Dad stuck an paddle handle near the turtle’s head. That turtle snapped at the paddle so hard it echoed along the river and broke a corner of the paddle handle. You never saw a person move so fast out of that canoe.

Bad rocks....answer is a Degleman windrower and picker. Lot of work but gets rid of those size rocks.

[@thanchon1]

The first rock you showed was weathered sandstone. While softer than most if you can push them out of the way, they are of mineral benefit.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

I know this and they have a high calcium content.

[@burtzorn4059]

That was probably the best thing you could do for yourself. Nothing better than a power nap. I could never do it well unless I was dead tired. Glad you are rolling along and done with the corn. Don't know about your area, but were just finally getting some good growing weather. Until the last week or so here in Michigan wasn't the best. The one thing that is great is wheat. Perfect weather and rain for it. Take care Wes and keep on rolling.

Great to see the TurboMax at work! The 8530 sounds great pulling it.

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Westley,peas look 👀 good,corn just going in here in Vermont

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Good field management going on. Been wet here in NE Texas too.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always interesting and entertaining. Nice to hear an update on your progress this year. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@toddwatkins1036]

That's dedication wish you the best of luck hopefully a profitable year

[@danw6014]

Hope you can get everything in soon. I'm getting antsy to cut hay but my two week forecast is rain. Looks like by the time we get a chance to mow the orchard grass will be like straw.

[@alanb9337]

Fix the 12 row corn planter this year the parts might be 'unavailable' or on 'back order' next year if the bird sickness spreads to shut down parts makers and slows up the supply lines. Be interesting to know the cost for a Degelman or Schulte rock picker. Depending on how hard the rocks are, Seppi Starsoil can pulverise rocks in place up to 12 inches, fairly hard on the tractor. On leased ground probably not worth pulverising rocks. Azotic appears to be still promoting their spray-on nitrogen fixer. Envita.

Awesome, instructional video, brother!

[@839Unipicker]

give Theresa a small field to play with one of the antique tractors and a plow.

Another great video wess

[@richardmead9225]

Oliver66farmboy had a snapper in his field too. He also found a box turtle, but ran over a nest of baby bunnies and a hawk.

[@ronniewalker2881]

I here some types of radishes will help with the hard pan

[@davekelley8520]

They grow alot of tillage radish and turnip in our area

[@randyvoss]

I saw an attachment on a skidsteer that crushed and shattered rocks like you have in that field

[@rongrose3746]

Wow, cannot believe all the rocks .

[@wildcoyote34]

that field is a candidate for a rock picker challenge ,,,i live in IOWA and any farmer here that saw this field would be scratching his head going WTF how did you plant that

[@golfernky1687]

Plant radishes around here for soil compaction

[@billymoad]

I always love listening to the turbo wine 😮

[@danw6014]

Me too.

[@wildcoyote34]

@@danw6014 the howl from the tractor ISN'T turbo whine it's IVT/Hydro whine ,transmission noise

[@billymoad]

@wildcoyote34 sounds just like turbo wine lol 🤣🤣 🤣

[@wildcoyote34]

@@billymoad it's not though ,most of these tractors have a huge muffler that stops you from hearing the turbo ,,the noise is just there , i've heard it from every one of the IVT tractors i have seen

[@jeffwilliams3642]

Whenever you spray roundup or chemicals to kill off your cover crop does that affect the worm activity??

[@onelonleyfarmer]

it doesn't seem to in my experience.

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

The chem planes really got the sky goofed up there I see......!!!!????? More rain or less???

[@gregkoenig9200]

Who or whom is financing the cloud spraying?

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

24:05 you're not wrong but speed and power solve many things 👍👍

[@ericnorth4378]

Do you roll that farm ,do you think it would help or not.

[@farmershelper6203]

Stopping and sleeping for 3 hours is not an all-nighter. I'm just joking. Thanks for sharing with us

[@NuffMan_]

15:05 lol even Ave's camera focuses better Maybe you gotta say "focus you FUCK", works every time

[@danmartin9558]

I am surprised you aren't planting red clover for some of the farms for cover crop Obviously peas do a better job for compaction. Red clover can add a lot of nitrogen to soil and green manure.

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

We are like worms: our mouth is connected to our hind end.........but we live above ground.

[@whjerts]

Nothing about the damage to the rolling basket on the VT?

Is your new big planter broken ?

[@danw6014]

In one of the other videos he said he was using the 7000 because it has row cleaners that move the rock out of the row.

I like turtles!

Make “ok so” great again!!!!!!!!

[@ROMERSHOOTER]

What about cow peas

[@NorthEastOhio]

Rocks are meant for waterfalls not in farm fields

[@Suehorse281]

I realize how stupid I'm going to sound here but that's nothing new. I just watched your very first live video and you said something that confused me. I already knew you had 3 kids, Tim, Joe, & Hayley. In your live video you you said you had 2 natural, 1 adopted, & Hayley. So do you actually have 4 kids?

[@onelonleyfarmer]

lol so I have 4 biological children. and one that I helped raise I never adopted him but he is my son. I love him like he is my own.

[@Suehorse281]
