We're Planting Corn with a John Deere 7230R | How a Corn Planter Works | Tractor Video

[@SLCFarms]

Matt thank you for showing what the other guys don’t. Of all the farming channels I watch that grow corn you are the first to show the planter like you did. Great video as always.

[@richardburguillos3118]

That was great!! Go California Farmers!!! Heck, go farmers!! The unsung heroes of America. We crowd stores and by all this stuff many of us take for granted and don’t know the amount of work and generations of dedication it took to get it on the shelves. Thanks Matt!

[@Cenlafarmtoys]

Very cool video! Corn is planted the same way over here in central Louisiana on bedded rows using a 3pt. Mounted planter with liquid fertilizer tanks mounted on the tractors. The only difference is most the corn over here is planted on a wider row spacing usually 38" spacing, only a couple farmers here plant on 30".

[@SmallMartingale]

Thanks Brent for the great tour of your planting operation! And thanks as always Matt for the great videos and window into ag in your area of California!

[@robertpayne2717]

On other thing you need to consider is that being mostly a rice farmer you may not have a deep ripper or chisel plow, but, whereas you need a plowpan in your rice to impede water infiltration with growing corn you need to ensure the deepest root growth you can get so you need to rip or chisel your ground as deep as you can when the soil is dry..also get your Phosphorous and Potash fertilizer plowed in early. Bed your corn ground if you can and you can knife in your early nitrogen prior to planting with either anhydrous or 28% uran. You can also apply the remainder of your nitrogen by Kniffing in your 28% uran liquid mid season

[@paulsautocm]

That's pretty slick, the rear tires are all spaced for the rows, and all the mechanical / electronics that go into making it efficient. Thanks for the tour., Go plant some corn.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

That planter will also plant cotton, and peanuts, just change the plates also those hopper extensions are necessary if you plant peanuts, because it takes 12 50lb bags to plant 6 1/2 acres at 6 to 7 peanuts to the foot......The fertilizer tank will be used to apply inoculate over the seed in the trench by changing the hose to the seed firmer------- Talcum power is also added to the hopper with each seed refill

[@georgewagner1657]

You two guys are so funny.. Make a great couple..

[@Samschannel-xi2ev]

You had me so excited I thought that you had this guy planting your corn. Great video anyways and the John Deere IVT is the same as a Case CVT transmission if you are familiar with those.

[@rickbrandt9559]

Matt! Astonished smiling... Learning stuff..

[@lizj5740]

Wow! The first implement that I've recognized. Seed box! A bit more complex than the one I used to overseed my pastures 20 years ago.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

That was a fun surprise, thanks Matt. Those pink seeds are pretty sweet. Yellow corn comes from pink seeds, who woulda known?

[@satnambawa0711]

Is this tractor on lease? How many acres do you farm? Very good planter and very nice information. Thank you.this is a modern planter . We plants seeds with traditional planter and very slow speed. like this planter we never seen yet in India in our area

[@franc362]

Very good video As a tip use a good seed treatment for a huge root mass development Coud be Envigor 8, and revelation etc The fertilizer should go 2.5 inches below the grain and 2.5 inches at the side the planter should be calibrated there, all seeds should be at the same size you could have small size seed saved for the end thus smaller seeds germinate faster and t you will have a more uniform stand Your tractor should be at 2,000 rpm, more rpm your emergence % will drop, less rpm same your emergence will % will drop, when planting use ammonium sulfate 11_52 P, K and micro nutritients, Best regards

[@BassmanTvfishing]

Good luck on the corn 🌽 hope your yield will be a lot.

Nice something I recognize CORN👍👍

[@adrianklaver113]

Just a heads up, in the description above you have: "Brent plants his corn seed 2 inches deep, 6 inches apart, in 6 inch rows. " I believe that is 30 inch rows, which would match the seed rate of ~34,000/acre.

[@Treeplanter73]

I wish the trees grew just as fast on my tree farm. But I do love my Kubota. All tractors are great though! Farmers dont quit because of a virus, farmers are strong.

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

[@Grainexpress]

What hybrid you planting? What “day” corn is it? Here in the Midwest we plant a 110 up to a 114 day corn.

[@glocke380]

Where did you get that Budweiser seed? Cenex says they don't sell them.

[@koryleague8833]

Thanks matthew for sharing. Around here a 8 row is a small planter😁😁 im assuming that the rollers for the ridges are for future irrigation? Thanks again for sharing

[@karljacobson1575]

I plant corn here in Kansas in April!! Won’t be long...

[@stevet8121]

I'm way behind in the corn planting technology. I would have used a stick and a hand held rake. I'm interested to see how corn is watered.

[@SmallMartingale]

Generally it isn't unless it's sweet corn

[@swiftsavvy6786]

David S here we water nearly everyday with a pivot or hard hose in south ga

[@SmallMartingale]

@@swiftsavvy6786 Interesting, guess that just shows how different farming can be across the US. Up here in Illinois/Iowa we irrigate some crops but rarely ever field corn unless it's contract seed corn. You'd be pumping away your profit

[@genechronister7085]

Great vid! I do miss planting on our farm we had in wa. state

[@franc362]

Great job I will give you Goid tips , important calibrate the fertilizer to go 2.5 inches below the grain and 2.5 inches Your planting spped is good I will go the no more than 5 mph, the goal is to get the emergence all in a 24 hours window, a uniform emergence iquals same plant yield and and end max yield Rpm are very important choose 2,000 rpm, less or more your % of plant emergence will drop, Low the presion from the hydraulic piston roller to the lowest Use a seed treatment helps greatly building root mass Envigor 8 genesis Ag Don't use urea in planting better use ammonium sulfate and 11_52 way better Remember to change the gaskets from grain between 150 _200 acres

[@ricop9966]

Hey Matt awesome vid was that ground rice ground before? We tried few season ago on a lil check we had and failed 😂

[@Ricefarmingtv]

They rotate that ground with tomatoes, sun flowers and corn, I believe. What do you think went wrong with your cron crop? -Matthew

[@m4ttyofficialchannel]

you can't start a farm with a few corn kernels if they are from a hybrid. (The kernels that a hybrid plant produce aren't fertile)

[@dirtthunder1638]

When will Matt show us how too forecast a stocks? It's potential risk over the short term and long term and potential growth and equivocate it in a market rating?

[@1redisthecolor]

Man....if ole Bloomy says it's that easy we should all get in the corn game! 😁😂😉

[@novakcustomharvesting6930]

[@FarmerPeter]

Where do you get your music? Id love to use this chill laid back music in my videos! Thanks!

[@SteveHolsten]

Matt, I thought & hoped maybe you guys were planting some corn this year!

[@ES-zj3cz]

I love when John Deere guys say they buy John Deere's because of resale value, but they pay more when there new so there not really getting much more.

[@philrizzo]

They get the use of a damn fine tractor between purchase and trade!

[@Matevz96]

@@philrizzo To be realistic all major brands are pretty much the same in terms of performance/comfort. What makes a difference is dealer support, anybody that says different is most likely a fanboy of some brand. Every brand has some bad models and even when talking about "good" models you can still get bad tractor.

[@franksmith2200]

Great video. Can you tell me how long the corn takes to germinate, IE pock its leaves out of the ground? Two weeks, one week. thanks

[@allenwalters9068]

All depends on weather ground temp, ive saw corn come up in 5 days and saw some take 2 weeks , cool weather really slows it down

[@jake2213b]

In this area of the country they use No Till Corn.

[@ihguy2113]

what do you guys use for a planter great video

[@lizj5740]

Matthew seeds rice by air.

[@sanfranciscobay]

Is the corn kernel the only part used to feed cattle or humans or is there uses for the other parts of the plant?

[@SmallMartingale]

For dairy operations they chop the entire plant and make what's called silage. Also produced are fodder/stover, it would take too long to explain it all but Google will tell you what you want to know if you're really curious 👍

[@lizj5740]

Over on the Blancolirio channel, someone suggested that corn cobs were an alternative to toilet paper. ;-)

[@stewbird]

Why are they planting on raised ridges instead of just onto flat ground?

[@matthewmeents1287]

Stewart Bird It’s for irrigation. In California, we normally don’t get enough water to just let it grow after planting. We have those ridges for the water to flow through and irrigate the corn.

[@stewbird]

@@matthewmeents1287 Thanks for the information

[@darylbruning8622]

We should pay the corn to plant it's self bloom

[@robertreznik9330]

One more thing. The seed cost about about $300 per unit of 80,000 seeds. Much of that cost is due to insecticide on the seed and genetically bred into the seed. Also the genetics cause the seed to be tolerant to several herbicides. When I graduated from college 50 years ago, I bought seed for $45 for 120,000 seeds. We planted 28 to 34,000 seeds per acre now we plant 33,000 seeds. My top yield then was 180 bu/ac now it is 285 with less fertilizer and irrigation water. The profit margin was greater then even with $1.50 corn compared with $3.50 today.

[@SmallMartingale]

A lot of operations are starting to go back to traditional varieties of corn. It takes more work and often more inputs but there is a growing market for non GMOs across the board in corn and beans both. Pretty interesting stuff.

[@budandbean1]

@Robert Reznik Thank you! For an old guy like myself that has never been around actual farming (Central Florida Native, only know orange trees), that was fascinating to read comparing what was then to now. Extremely interesting and greatly appreciated.

[@Murphyslawfarm]
