Running a Brillion Crumbler on cotton land.

[@brenbarnes136]

I love your videos, It's nice to now know what the equipment I often follow behind on the road it is for! I'm in Canada so perhaps not exactly the same but similar surely. My inlaws have a big dairy farm and they also grow, oats, soy beans and corn. We lost my father in law in February, he fell off of the big feed mixer wagon and landed head first on the ice. Sadly he didn't come out of it, but he died doing what he loved. I always say farming isn't a choice it's a vocation. ❤

I’ve been wanting to visit Canada. Such a beautiful country with a lot of farm land and fossils. I really want to witness the Caribou migration. Dairy farming is about as hard of work as you can find. 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I was born on my great grandfather’s dairy farm and we moved to row cropping when i was 4 years old. I have a lot of respect for dairymen.

I love watching these videos. While I sit here, testing server apis, wishing I was a farmer.

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks for watching, but remember farmers work 60-75 hours a week on average and may or may not make any money (weather dependent)

[@iamafanoftheworld5354]

this is such a good channel, the way you explain things is excellent, i watched the one where you changed the engine on the tractor and explained why it failed, that was great, watched it about 5 times, then i started binge watching everyone of your videos. i need to subscribe, here goes

[@PatrickShivers]

Thanks for watching/subscribing. Hope you are entertained and informed.

That was fun! Thanks Patrick. BTW, what kind of yield did you get out of the first tater harvest? I love growing those cranky things. 😂 Those plants sure can fool you though when you see what's going on underneath the dirt.

[@PatrickShivers]

They do look impressive as they enter the bloom stage. The harvest is on going so I don’t have complete numbers yet. Preliminary figures look like from 3 to 1 to 5 to 1 after culling process. 5-1 to 7-1 are considered average commercial yield. Most our culls were ant damage.

It is funny after all these years some industrious farmer hasn't engineered a solution to the inferior bearing situation

Is there any moisture in the ground?

[@PatrickShivers]

There was perfect moisture when i stripped the rows. If you strip with low moisture you will roll up basketball size dirt clods in this clay. I waited 24 hours for the moisture i pulled to surface with stripper to dissipate before crumbling. Crumblers/cultipackers and moisture do not mix.
