Seeding in the rain ☔🤷‍♂️

[@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

[@farmernige]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@leighriley6277]

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

[@AureFreePress]

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

[@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.

[@dougsigman4724]

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

[@morse2795]

Another awesome video Mike!!!!

[@nanoseTT]

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

Beautifull rain. wish we could get a little bit, but great to see south west get some.really nice area.

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

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

[@timkelley8775]

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

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

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 🙂

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

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 !

[@T_in_man]

Right Mike no jumping on grain bins when it pours like that 👌 remember safety first 😂

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.

[@dougpage1271]

Good point about tillage bringing up weed seeds 👍 - Doug in Iowa

Hey Mike... If you plan in the dust your bins will bust... 🤣🤣 Gotta love old sayings. Glad to see it rain though.

First trees I’ve seen since I started watching you

[@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.

[@GICK117]

Right on Brother Mike.

[@crash6674]

mike do you lease your equipment? can you do a vid on pros / cons and what you think about it?

[@Grimskarr]

I'd be interested in this as well.

[@coopermeshew4298]

I’d be interested too

[@steveclement504]

Question, how in the world did they plant 20 years ago. Those guy did a tremendous job farming.

[@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

[@ScottPykare]

Wow, raining where you are and not here in northeast Ohio. That's a switch. Enjoy some down time. You need it. Don't forget we want to here about Johnny vs O'l Red.

[@matthewvaldez6387]

Liquid sleep is what rain is, get some well needed rest buddy 🍻👍

[@clivewort360]

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.

[@joseph-ur2ks]

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

[@gavinperry7237]

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 🙂

Mike have you ever thought about trying a sprayer that has that has WEED IT on it on something similar or mabey putting in on your sprayers.And i can't belive we actually used to seed without sectional controll it would be like running without autotrac. We had 4 inches and 2 tenths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@honeybadgerarse3240]

Mike i tell u what will sort your moisture out in the seed tubes, dbs ausplow made in Western Australia us a oil cooler which cools the oil at the same time it heats the air the fan blows keeping it dry so u can keep seeding.....just fyi

[@brianallam5545]

We put oil coolers in front of our fans dries the air coming in and gives a bit bigger window

[@mikemitchell2554]

That's good idea!

[@brianallam5545]

If you want suppliers name just ask. We had them on our jd drills and have them on our seed hawks

I'm not surprise about your plants growing up after your pass whit the protill, but i see in a last video about the seeding machine that a lot of soil is moving. It's not making grow up the weeds like the protill? And what are you thinking about cover crops?

whats the benefit of having the seeder box behind your drill? Other than not being able to see the drill I do not understand why anyone would keep it in front. I seen others were they have the drill behind the seed box.

[@Grimskarr]

If you go back and watch his previous videos he addressed this question. Two things I remember him saying is that the these big seed carts are only set up to pull behind the drill and it's easier to maneuver everything in this configuration.
