TYM Tractor still reliable? I almost let this go too far!

[@AmbientCityFarm]

What do you think of prescribed burns vs mowing? Maybe enough there for a video topic.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Great idea!

[@MeredithFarms]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmeryou lose a lot of nutrients in a burn

[@AmbientCityFarm]

@@MeredithFarms You also destroy a lot of broom sedge seeds but it's only a part solution for a perineal problem. I have seen studies that are more focused on Nitrogen loss and leaching. For pastures, I have seen studies that recommend burns 3-5 years or if a field is 50%+ infested with weeds. There seems to be a ton of pros and cons. We are really new to all of this and I love seeing both sides.

[@MeredithFarms]

@@AmbientCityFarm once you fix the PH usually the broom sedge will go away…other grasses will out compete it. Another thing with burning, if you get a rain at the wrong time you could have lots of erosion

[@131dyana]

Loved the video. Thanks.

[@Timbo1]

I always enjoy watching the videos. I would definitely dig that wet patch out for a pond. If there's one thing I've learned over the years it's better to work with nature than against it.

Happy Veterans Day from one USAF Veteran to another 🇺🇸🇺🇸

You're working the bats off that bat wing! Happy Veterans Day to the service people! 🔴⚪🔵

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thank you!

[@lttl858]

That little 12' mower did a really nice job.

[@davidmack8813]

Josh exciting to see good land progress it's so big near like a golf course good job sir

[@davebarnes9099]

I’m glad to hear you use hearing protection even in the cab

[@taurota1554]

Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad I could!

[@dlaford]

Beautiful piece of property

[@scottsmith6846]

Hey Josh thank you for the video Woo

[@toddpacheco4748]

Josh,another excellent piece of work and video 😮😊❤

[@Token_Civilian]

Looking good.

[@outdoorcentral5006]

Seeing you bush hog that side of the property makes me wish you did food plot videos. Maybe you ought to start planting a few small food plots while you transition into cattle. Great vids man

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...the deer around here would be like.....what food plot...I'm gonna go eat the hosta off josh's porch! The deer around here are so plentiful that there's just no need for a food plot. They're like rats! Just everywhere and we've got chronic wasting disease here no because of it

[@bohammarberg4072]

Good morning !! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@andyg3240]

A little potash along with that lime will help with the broom sedge.

[@Sgtkode]

I know it would be costly but I would get an all natural weed and feed for those fields. It's has to be more cost effective and make it a useful pasture.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol....the words all natural and weed killer are a tough find together my friend....it just takes time to get the Ph corrected, once that's solved the grasses will come in and choke out the weeds

[@romancharak3675]

I hope you are successful in acquiring that other 17 acres, Josh ! 🙏

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Appreciate it. It would be a big help!

[@blueridgehomestead566]

Dig your pond where the pond wants to be 😂

[@JamesBlazen]

The water is that pond will be a dirty algae ridden mess. Why create a snake and mosquito infested swamp if you don't have to?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I'll have to show ya the other ponds that I made like this...they're nice, clean and healthy. I've been stocking them lately too

[@BigTader]

Josh have you seen the new brush hogs with the fan on top of the cutter to keep debris off to lesson chance of fire. Larson farms was demoing 1. Great video stay safe and May God bless you and your farm.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

interesting...I've never heard of a brush hog/rotary cutter catching fire on top. If it's getting that hot then there's a very serious problem....might have to find that vid

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Was hear. Woooo

[@karlschupp8552]

Have you thought about running some tile in that wet spot to help it dry out if its possible??? Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I've considered it, but honestly it's not really worth the effort for this small of a plot....I'd spend tens of thousands to gain 2-4 acres

[@gungadinn]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Tens of thousands? Provided the pasture is fairly rod free, a larger Ditchwitch can easily make 3-4 500 foot plus runs in a day. Dirt Perfect built a tile plow he pulls behind a Cat D850 dozer. He does a lot of work for one of his local farmers,aka Farmer Chris. DP has probably installed a couple of miles of tile for Farmer Chris this year.

[@DKMFarms]

Love watching your channel. It helped me start my youtube farming channel. Do you have any advice or tips to grow?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

produce high quality content that's fun and entertaining my friend...that's the best advice I can give ya

[@DKMFarms]

@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thank you so much

[@SharSuave]

Josh we need a video about your financial journey of what it took to acquire the farm and then maintain it with the expenses that come with taking care of cattle and the land itself ‼️

[@T-dubzz]

I agree. Would be a great video!

[@MeredithFarms]

Do you have soil tests for your farm? I’d love to see them…what is the % of OM in your dirt? Have you been able to build it yet?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I havn't tested it in 7 years...but...at that time I had 0.03%...not 3%......3 100ths of a percent organic material! It was horrible! I'll run a soil test again soon once I feel like I've corrected the Ph enough

[@thomaswilliams7411]

That's a beast of a mower, what was the damage from the rock strike

[@donCesc19]

Did you think about planting some trees on this lot for cows to have shade in a few years? You talked about how you made that mistake and now is perfect time, for this field right?, to do that...

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yeppers...for sure....I'm pretty sure I mention the trees in these pastures in the video....you may have missed it. I left some pines in this field for the cattle

[@donCesc19]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yeah you did, I didn't missed it, just wrote the comment before that part of video and I would still say that you can't have too much shade for those beautiful cows...

[@davidhosmer1424]

With all that fluff and debris does the radiator clog? Do you blow it out during the day? Always enjoy watching you work. Do you get a chance to play / jam music? Thanks

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

sometimes it gets to the radiator...had a hood latch issue recently and it really clogged up

[@UncleRufus518]

What’s the story on the old log tobacco barn

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I'll do a video soon about it...how it works...maybe even get the old timer that used to sleep out here feeding the fire all night long

[@daveroseman1185]

Looks like a prospective hay field.??

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

potentially

[@CashJohnston]

What’s broom sage? Did you plant it?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

broom sedge is a grass that grows in poor acidic soils, it's pollinated and seeds blow in the wind. Doesn't need to be planted, it just grows where the seeds blow and the soil is poor. Correcting the Ph of the soil will allow other grasses to push/choke out the broom sedge. Just an indication of soil conditions and acidity in the soil that needs correcting. The cure is Lime

[@barney1941]

are you making a huge compost pile? do u have a vidja on it?

[@WeSRT4]

Did you buy the TYM?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yeppers

[@Pipeline-ll2rd]

Are the cattle the only income for the farm?

[@tireddad6541]

He has income from his social media.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

currently, however we'll be integrating sheep and hogs as well as meat birds at some point...very very time consuming and I need a wife to help me with all this....it's tough running the social media biz along with the farm....I work nearly every waking minute and sometimes in my sleep!

[@jerryhuntjj2885]

What camera do u use

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

mostly gopro

[@tommartin8155]

Do you mind if ask who you voted for,? You can let me know privately.

[@fredeerickbays]

I have been doing what u r for 30 yr now. Started with 300 ac of burned out potato land Just as bad as ur tobacco land. I had me some money so i could live off it til the farm produced. Did not show profit for first 5 yr then it took off when my first partner bought in. Today there are 13 adults with 7b kids working about 6800 ac that we either control or own. Always on the look out for more at right price. can care less about what it is just right price. 18 mo ago paid a little over 1.5m for 120 ac and another 300k for the buildings (big old 15 room farmhouse build around 1880 with barn and out buildings. Why buy apart. B/c that is how they sold it. This is beautiful bottom land that is flooded ever yr and so get more top soil on it. Ya cost me S13,000/ac

[@JamesBlazen]

TYM is no good.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

try one brother.....I've had great service other than the mess up that I did not changing the DEF filter. Better than the Deere, just being honest with ya.
