Seeded #oats on Friday in shorts and a t shirt, guess I should have put these old drills back in the shed. April fools joke’s on me this year ☃️

@silagechopper 43 or 45? And are those axle duals?

Lock up your wives and girlfriends. It’s oats planting time.

Rick Bieber split one of his fields in half — one side got no fertility, and the other side got the best management practices. Yield went down 10-15% in the first 3 years on the side without inputs, but by year 4 it started going up. ow.ly/R4eZ50VgYxF

@silagechopper You forgot the chrome stack and LED light upgrade!!

Got this ol 67 model in for a couple afternoons of love. It’s been rode hard and put up wet around this place for the last 30 years. Anyone that’s worked here since 1994 has put their time in on it. It goes back to work tomorrow.

@silagechopper How big of shop did you end up building ?

Fixed the discharge chain and it’s 65 degrees in here and 6 degrees outside. What an amazing experience. I’ve gotten so used to just being miserable I didn’t know any better.

This article details how the Feikema family transformed their 7,000-acre farm in Luverne, Minnesota, by adopting strip-till and no-till practices in 2016. Read the full story: ow.ly/ot9T50Ux60r

@NickHorob 150-200k

What’s the approx cost to build a 60x80x18 post frame building? Heated and insulated but mostly just the plain shell

@81glass Damn, I want a double swather!

Some drone footage the neighbor shot when we were harvesting barley

Mike is practically my neighbor!!

Me too, planted dry but got some rain last week. Haven’t checked if it’s up yet…

@jasonmauck1 I used this system to fall strip till manure on a rented farm 12 mi away from barn. Made round on 80 w/20 strip till bar mounted on back of 5300 gal tank. Worked well but I have a tough time getting manure every year, everyone wants the good 💩

@jasonmauck1 Around here there a a few guys who custom haul with semi tankers, getting manure 8-10 mi away from barn. You can haul farther, just costs more. Got pump and spout right on tanker so can unload into field tanker, 7000 gal in about 3-4 min.

Why can't we have intelligently designed manure equipment in the USA? Or do we? Who sells it? Wide row, in crop application. Low rates, speed, tram rows. If I had this on 40' I'd be putting 50lbs of N in the middle of my wheat rows

@jasonmauck1 Agreed, the fields close to the barns rarely can utilize all of what the manure provides. Instead of mounting a toolbar on back of a tank you could pull a tank behind a mounted toolbar on tractor, may need dolly system for hitch. Other question is pushing manure that far …

There is tech to keep applying in the same fields next to the barns that we have to the point of diminishing returns because the P and K levels are plentiful I want to be able to apply 700 gallons 40 or 60' wide to rented or ground a few miles away and leverage my soil levels to make profitability higher on both pieces of land. The other problem is trust I dont know how long the system stays in place (CAFO). I can sell a tank

When starting cover crop mixes, season-specific, on-farm goals are essential. Watch this webinar hosted by Practical Farmers of Iowa, featuring Thomas Björkman from Cornell University, where he discusses how to select the ideal cover crops. YouTube.com/watch?v=3RaOAe…

Finally found the low spot in driveway , .2” rain last night, first rain in about 60 days

@McNeilBJ @mattygilbert Curious what variety and what style head? I am in SCMN and would like to add them to my rotation someday, but no sunflowers around here lol

Organic Sunflower harvest. These were planted June 26th. We received 4+ inches of rain that night. I gave up on them for a couple weeks. They are far out performing my expectations! And I love the head @mattygilbert .

Whoever invented stainless steel is a genius, should have did this upgrade from ⁦@gorede_ag⁩ years ago! #farmrepairs
