Seeding into frozen ground? 😳

[@79terrafirma]

Frost seeding spring grains is very common in ontario. Head out to the field about 10pm and plant until sunrise. The frost carries the equipment over soft ground allowing you to get planted nice and early. Crop development before the worst of the summer heat and humidity is the benefit..

[@claudreindl7275]

I can recall my father picking corn on frosty ground early mornings. Later in the day it got too muddy to operate. But we managed to get the crop out.// Works both ways I guess.

[@jesseb619]

Love your videos Mike. I am a dairy farmer in NZ, all ive wanted to do is just drive tractors all day long like yourself... to some it seems boring but there is only a few who get it.

[@dutchfarmer3721]

I saw a picture today of a toiletseat mounted on a bourgault drill. Could be something for you Mike🤣💩

[@deepwoodguy2]

Crazy weather, Snow in April not good...here in Connecticut, USA, on April 16th, i got 7 inches of snow...all melted in 2 days. Happy planting up there in Sask. 😎👍😎

Could be worse. We’ve had Snow in Aug.

Not sure why never really been into farming besides playing a little farming sim but I've been watching like 11 videos in a row live it keep it up man

[@gaz0463]

I’m not a farmer and I would never watch a program on farming of normal tv. I only work with explosives but I would never miss a single upload on your channel. Thanks for all the work and effort you put into your channel just for our entertainment. And that a lot of work on top of everything else you do. I know I’m not the only one who appreciates it. Much love and all the best to you and your whole family from Inverness Scotland. BTW in my opinion the longer your videos are the better. That’s just me though I guess. Take care my friend.

Thankyou good sir 🙂

Hey Mike A question from a danish farmer. Over a period of 5 years, what is your average yield in wheat and Canola?

[@tatra2366]

Yahoo, moisture!!

[@kennethcarlton2860]

Informative video Michael .. I have been a farmer for almost 40 years so I knew what you were going to say next about any hydraulic problems & all . Good luck with your seeding . Are you going to show that fields growth compared to the other ones ?

Wowwe!!! Thats crazy bro! Man here in North Carolina our corn is about a foot tall and cold weather is the last thing we need to see! We're in dier need of rain tho! Hope things level out for yall!

[@YourMom-ro1ig]

Damn. Here in western CO they haven’t even planted corn yet. Rule of thumb around here is if you have knee high corn by the 4th of July you’ve got a good crop going. We’re fortunate to have irrigation though.

Question. Hey Mike really enjoying your channel. Do you ever seed the same crop in the same field from year to year ie. Durum in durum or lentils in lentils or do you switch it up year to year.

Mike I have a couple of questions. Are the tracks on your farm public rights of way or are they for farm use only? The 20mm or so steel wire rope under the four track, what is that about? You make the videos however long or short you like Mike. You make the videos, we will watch them.

[@andrewgross8235]

The tractor had 2 parts it's so that both ends pull together and thay the front doesn't pull apart from the back or something like that.... also you can use it for pulling it out when its stuck

Hi Mike...a bit unrelated to this video but still, just an idea. Is it possible to get some sort of a marker or something like that on your mapping? That way you could just mark a spot on the map if you see any big rocks and simply look at the map when you go rock picking and be sure to pick them up. Same with sprayers and harvesters mapping

Hey Mike. I know you guys run viper 4s in your patriot sprayers. We just switched over to a viper 4+. Is there a way to turn off section/overlap control while spraying headlands? Do I tap the accuboom widget and it counts down? I just want to spray field corners with overlap off

Yes, planting into frozen ground is not ideal, and it would damage equipment if the chunks are hard enough but at least the power poles won't come out of the ground as easy

Just trying to get a scale of the operation, those planters must be able to plant maybe 50 acres per hour, x5 planters x 18 hrs per day times maybe 30 days. That kind of scale must have an affect on the global price of what you are planting.
