Spraying GMO soybeans/how the sprayer works

[@SaneNoMore]

The line between your crop and the neighbors amazes me. You really got to have a good relationship with neighbors when there is literally nothing separating fields. In my area there are fences and a few feet of unproductive land at least between fields if not a road or waterway.

This is another really interesting video, wonder if you would ever do an update on the sprayer, this is like 6 years ago. You came up with a great idea to educated non farming folks. The chemical mix was an eye opener. Did not realize you could put so many different chems into the final spray. Great to emphasize that 90% of what is going on the field is straight water..

[@MillennialFarmer]

Good thoughts, I'll do some updates this summer when we are working the fields!

[@lrn_news9171]

They're basically destroying the soil with a chemical cocktail lol it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that glyphosate destroys soil quality leading to further reliance on chemical fertilizers and fungicides because the plants become more vulnerable to fungal diseases. There's a lot of problems with chemical farming but it's almost necessary if you farm thousands of acres

[@noelhohberger1072]

Your a very good farmer and people need too see what your doing! Thank you

[@Kaptoj]

What a nice sprayer we have a Navigator 4000 here on our family farm, in denmark we have 400 hectares. nice to see a danish build sprayer in the states!!! :)

[@stevep5408]

The old farmers used to ride their four wheelers from feild to field an walk the feilds and cut weeds by hand.

[@jamesgoldsmith4805]

Interesting. Great video, I thought you had a john deer sprayer and gator and a few other things then every other main thing is a new Holland. But we are researching the john deer combine. Some thing we like. Some disadvantages though :(

[@farmermatt629]

Good video your doing same program I'm using here in central Illinois although some farms I still go 100% roundup some I used flex star where there is waterhemp pressure.... nice set up you have there we run a 4440 spra coupe 60' booms but can travel at 13-14 mph 10 gal

[@kevinbrooks1104]

Dawn dishsoap the blue kind is a natural adhesive as well

[@gofish1468]

MY god,,,,,, boundary ditch..????? Ye must be good neighbours ! Class insight into spraying.! Great vid as usual!

[@kylebuehlman4207]

I just learned a new thing that’s why there’s corn in soybean fields volunteer corn

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Pretty good informative video. I wonder if this channel will ever take off!

[@Lilmistergamer]

I've done liberty beans last 2 years. its worked great so far.

[@karljacobson1575]

Without extend beans here in Kansas it would b hard to control water hemp!! It's a mess here.....

[@alexl8550]

My grandpa always says that the best bean acres are near the railroad tracks because they get hit with a little drift from the chemical they use to keep the railroad weed free. Beans like a little stress!

[@annafraley5388]

I’m impressed, a sprayer with a 120 foot Wingsapn 😱👍✅

[@jimclary7309]

A lot of good information, interesting keep it coming. Be safe!

[@SaneNoMore]

That tractor may have more buttons than the early space rockets hehe.

[@dogma511]

We use fomesafen + metolachlor or benasolin +fomesafen. Here in Argentine the amaranthus hybridus is e big big problem.

[@jamesgoldsmith4805]

When does your harvest start? Ours already started!

[@MrJdcasino1]

Your sprayer is RED! 😱😱😱😂😂😂

[@waterskiingfool]

I didn't know you ever had a pull behind sprayer

[@flyhigh5056]

modified shit ain't good in the long term. Do you know Gabe Brown or visited his operation?

[@rogerwilson9361]

I like your sprayer nice did you have a mic on at the beginning of the video if it was could tell the difference cut down on the wind blowing while talking. The beans looked good but the field crossed over they were having some problems.

[@tunaritoope2059]

I am not sure did you speak about the thing i am going to ask because my english is bad, but is roundup you use different than that we use. I am asking because roundup we use kills everything that is green so how to come that plants survive but weeds don't?

[@carltenpas5256]

I missed which surfactent you use could you please let me know

[@lorinaw3001]

Great informative video - good job -ty ty

[@christizelazny5669]

Do you eat the crops that you spray round up on?

[@mossjones7375]

I imagine that rig is pretty heavy..1600gals of fluids and 120ft of boom.. no less than 200hp to move that thing hau?

[@petaspersepectives]

good stuff man, how many acres is your farm?

[@spadelugs]

Do you use much fungicide? Hardi has crazy expensive pump for pressure.

[@lrn_news9171]

I think fungicide is heavily used on corn but not quite sure about soybeans

[@travismohwinkel7881]

u run rtk autostart

[@hoboedan]

It was interesting to see no noticeable property line between your field and the neighbor's field. It appeared his rows practically matched up with your's. Thinking this may be another benefit of GPS possibly??

[@MillennialFarmer]

Yes we are able to use GPS and autosteer now to line right up with many of the neighbors!

[@69druth]

Great video. On 30 inch beans what would be the average of times you would have to spray until they fill in.

[@AndersonFarms]

most the time 1 time but on occasion you have to spray twice

[@MillennialFarmer]

We use pre-emerge on ours right after planting, then we come back and make our main pass a few weeks later. Hopefully that's it for weed control but we most likely will have to spray for aphids in early August also.

[@69druth]

MN Millennial Farmer Thanks I up in central Ontario east of Toronto and a very dry spring and had poor emergence on any hill ground there is basically nothing and been on the roundup program so gonna go with a pre for 2017. Keep the videos coming.

[@lorenzoalvino6644]

Nice video! Why don't you alternate Roundup with some other product(s) to avoid resistance?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Lorenzo Alvino We have been for the last few years. Roundup is still really effective against most weeds, it's just the specific few, so we have been using other products along with it to fight those resistant weeds. With dicamba soybeans available now, that will really help us fight them all.

[@RubenLopez-fl9lf]

Hey where I can buy a used navigator

[@markocickovic1413]

What is active substance of Shafen

[@rattlinurcage3]

Great video !!! I hope you guys avoided the storms we've had the last few days

[@andrewsarles3520]

I have lamb's quarter like crazy! Water hemp is bad!!!

[@danielharrison5778]

How long have you had that one for

[@toby.maximillian]

Your old sprayer!

[@daviddodier8845]

Since the news is nonsense these days, what is your opinion of the tariff on soybeans and how will it affect your farm?

[@914Rocky]

The technology is amazing.

[@JustMike-0]

Just curious. Why not run a self propelled sprayer? And what speed are you usually running? Do you find that increasing your gal per acre, increasing coverage, help with the control of the weeds? But still running the same chemical rate per acre.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Mike Hasher We have a self propelled sprayer now, but at the time the video was made we didn't because they're so expensive. We spray more water when spraying aphids but otherwise we have had good luck at 10 gpa with most herbicides so we don't feel we need to go more.

[@DennysCountryLife]

Thanks for posting. Good stuff to know!

[@halfajob1202]

Is it a state law to use a gmo or is it the best way to do it why why the brand that owns round up sucks

[@uriahocean6968]

Crop oil...hmm...keeps the plants from squeaking. Ohh yahh.

[@ReolSPro]

is there really no way around spraying those chemicals? is it too expensive?

[@MillennialFarmer]

ReolSPro It would be really inefficient and we wouldn't have as good of control. For late season control it would be nearly impossible. "old school" cultivating (tilling just between the rows) would be our only option for covering a high amount of acres.

[@MillennialFarmer]

ReolSPro Smaller acreage farms would be able to handle it better, but until either more people decide to farm, or small farms find ways to be profitable, that's not going to be a common practice. Many recent smaller "niche" farms (organic, CSA, etc...) have started to pop up, which is great, but I don't believe that will ever be the majority of food production.

[@farmermatt629]

MN Millennial Farmer I agree most people also don't know that roundup is a "contact" herbicide it only kills what it touches physically... it is 110% neutralized when it comes in contact with the soil... in other words seconds after a field is sprayed with roundup a chemist couldn't do a test to see if it was sprayed... because everything that is in roundup are compounds naturally found it the soil... hence roundup being very safe for the environment

[@MillennialFarmer]

farmermatt629 I didn't even realize that. Do you have sources where I could check that out? That's interesting.

[@farmermatt629]

MN Millennial Farmer I might have went a little overboard on the whole chemist comment lol. It does remain in soil but its neutral... no residual effects..

[@MultiMrNoone]

How well does autosteer work going through the rows? Does it avoid the plants, or is there some running over the rows?

[@ryangunderson3552]

A lot of farmers that do row crops have RTK which is sub-inch accuracy. Depending on the tires used, it's pretty easy to avoid most but not all of the plants because of turning on the ends and whatnot.

[@polishfarmer7434]

Good video :)

[@isaacgeddes4986]

Can I have a hat and shirt

[@ryszardmrowiec5123]

Soja w rzędach 75 cm

[@AndersonFarms]

this video must have been made a little ways back, the beans are small

[@MillennialFarmer]

Yeah I took this about 2 weeks ago, had some trouble uploading it. I will have a crop update soon, things are growing fast now!

[@fladman9817]

how many engine rpm and do u run the sprayer and hope fast do u go?

[@MillennialFarmer]

We drive between 7 and 8 mph usually with our sprayer.

[@davedocker1195]

makes water wetter

[@BradMer-b9v]

liberty link lol

[@lazer5124]

Round up should be illegal. I thought you cared about the environment.

[@andycole366]

🤣😂 nah, round up for the win🙃
