Seeding in the rain ☔🤷‍♂️

Started out raining at home in the morning, but turns out where my drill was located it wasn't enough to stop me. Until it was 😂
Trying to squeeze out as many acres as I could before getting shut down for what we call "rain days" and we love them!
Thanks for tuning in! You guys are awesome 🙂

Don’t worry about the lightning. You’re not grounded that much with a 84’ drill in the ground. Lol 😂⚡️⚡️

[@nedmaher7635]

I really enjoyed looking at the monitor today. It explains what you are doing much better. Keep up the good work. Your on your way to be a big channel. Not many farmers of your size make such high quality videos on KZbin.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Ned!

[@Thegrim326]

Lol we have a case 9380 still has the original radio and one speaker if you can deal with static it's golden

[@danadams3465]

These are such family friendly videos I think they should start showing them in schools. Good humour and good lessons!

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha thanks Dan!

[@2950johndeere]

That would actually teach kis something worth knowing. And that's just wrong

[@nigelgribble8736]

One of the best videos so far Mike! Brilliant demonstration of why you avoid tillage and section control. Absolutely amazing job.

[@matkurcher9469]

Good afternoon Mike. Sucks to get rained out but you cant complain about moisture. Just saw a "rich farmers" comment. Could you do a video on the financials of farming per acre for all inputs including crop insurance and cost of drying if needed vs market prices? Also include yield and quality losses equated to weather, fungus, infestation, weeds and how it impacts grade and profits. I think it would open a lot of peoples eyes on how much of a financial risk farmers take to grow food for the world. The 9-5ers today are quite disconnected.

[@Grimskarr]

Another interesting topic to talk about.

[@AureFreePress]

Happy Saturday Mike... Hands you an umbrella.. Nothing like the smell of fresh damp earth... Snifffff.. Thank you for the ride along ❤️ ❤️

Mike, love your. Ideas and the narrative of s fantastic. Just like being in the cab.

[@leighriley6277]

The whole seeding operation is fascinating, thank you for taking the time to explain 👍👍

[@scottyleblanc9025]

Thank y'all for filming your operation. It's a inspiration to us farmers here in South Louisiana. Thank you for being a patriot

[@Grimskarr]

Nice rain!! 👍☔ Would still like to hear a talk on the planning of seeding, like the sequence you choose to plant certain crops and how it plays into harvest strategy.

[@tohim4458]

That’s how I ‘fill in’ too! On fs17😁... and I’ve never farmed😆 but would love too Awesome vid Mike as always. Thank you bud. Much appreciated🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@Saskatchewan_IH_Farmer]

Mike you forgot to mention that with our good ol’ southern sask soil, it tends to stick to the air cart tires and will pull up your seed/disturb your seed bed in the rain.

[@Lexandmax81]

I love this combination, case ih quadtrack plus air seeder with all doubles on the aircard. Awesome!😎😉👍🚜

[@timkelley8775]

I like your commentary Mike. It is very interesting. I enjoy you sharing your knowledge. Like your humor too.

Thx for sharing your experience, help to have better understanding of actual farming. And it’s interesting to see big setup run because in France it’s kinda rare.

Tks for the ride along.

I love it Mike doesn't care if it is a rainbow-colored tractor he just wants it to pull.

Hello Mike! I'm sticking with you since you've had like 2 or 3k subscribers. I grew up around big machines, but here in Europe, farming was a little different. I don't like to comment so much, but I'm going to drop a comment on every 10k subs from now on! So, don't forget me when you hit that 1M!

Hey, i still remember my first Patreon and first couple guys who always commented

Mike, a song comes to mind: I'm seeding in the rain. :)

Great awesome video mike , mud mud mud but we need the rain , pushing the limits of seeder is the best .

Another good video mike. Shame it rained. But hope you get a bit more rest until it drys up again. Be nice if you could do anther farm tour video of your farm, Love to see your farm. Hope you will have a good rest of the weekend mike.

[@christianuhlemann5688]

Thats something good men, you can explain very good for us guys from the other side of the big lake. Not much people knows much about the big seedrigs u use overthere so...ja - danke

[@LeFloop]

Your talk regarding the tillage is interesting, here we look at it as disturbing the weed seed bank to encourage them to germinate before we go through with chemical. But we are also conventional tillage for the most part and our ground here in Ontario is a lot tougher than yours, it won't blow away like Saskatchewan soil can. One of the things I love about KZbin farming vids is getting to see how differently shit gets done across the country

[@willy7969]

If your off planting for a couple days Mike, you should do an updated farm tour and show us around a bit more. Love the videos!!

If travel restrictions are eased because of an improvement in the COVID 19 situation I have an interesting suggestion for Ashtyn’s Bridal Shower. Contact Mitch ( Marketing Manager ) for North America for Steiger Tractors to arrange for the gals to go to the Case IH testing ground in Arizona. Ashtyn could then drive the Case IH Steiger Quad Track AFS Connect 620 that can peak up to 682 HP. That would be something that Ashtyn would NEVER FORGET. The Welkers drove over 2,000 HP of “Red Paint” in one day.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Nice! That's awesome 🙂

[@stevenhorne5089]

is there ever a worry about people vandalizing or steeling stuff out off or of off your tractors, leaving them in the field. we had someone last week steel 3 star fire JD GPS boxes of the cabs of our tractors last week and they were parked in the yard

MIKE , get the weather app for your phone called Radar Scope. Its a weather app that shows you every different type of radar you can think of . It will make those weather decisions like should i run for the truck or is that a tornado seem easy !

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha thanks good sir 🙂

I think that weather app is the best 9$ a man could spend! Especially if the weather impacts what you do in your day to day business. Keep up the great content, watching your videos after a long day is great RnR !

[@scottwenger7577]

That would be a serious amount of hoseage or tubeage to unplug. Hope you had your trusty dewalt with ya

[@davidcarlson2415]

I cant believe that air seeders and planters haven"t come up with a single point hookup for the hydraulics like combines, to make it easier and always hooked up correctly. I plant with a DB 90 36 row planter with 6 scv and 2 power beyonds and 2 zero pressure returns. I use one tractor for digging and planting, so I don't have to have two tractors. I have it down to unhook and rehooked back up in 30 minutes most of the time.
