welding on this pin here because uh
i still need to put some weld on it and then turn it back down because there's some low spots
so
okay last day of barley and i'm actually just
chewing up of the field because it's not quitting time yet but it's not i'm not doing it for the
bushels as you can see right there it's yielding hardly a bushel anything i can show you back there
mainly just cutting it because it's a the road is right over there and once a while drive by
and look at an uncut field so i thought i'll just go ahead and keep whacking um i cut all day today
and our trailer which holds full 1100 isn't going to be full so got a lot of acres uh
not a lot of bushels but knew that was coming because you know the hail and the drought
i knew at the end was gonna just be picking and then finally deciding to call it so anyway this'll
end the barley harvest uh we do have a little bit of wheat left uh that's hailed in fact right
across the road but tomorrow they're talking a little showers or something so i'm not sure i'll
be able to get at it for a day but we'll see and then uh we do have a little bit of canola left
but uh before all that happens uh we're gonna be already as you uh past the farm show
when this gets aired we'll probably be back and i'll be back in the combine again so
anyway uh just thought i'd give you an update barley worth cutting what do you say kobe
he's speechless cat got your tongue ah he doesn't like that one all right in a bit
a lot is happening guys he's getting ready to go chop the rest of the little wheat that's out
there which is not not much uh just a little hailed stuff and then nick is still spraying
he's loading up right now getting ready to go and now i'm gonna take the big bud 600
we just got done repairing the packer and the plow so we need to get going i need to get this
ripped get it done so i can park the tractor or park the plow and then hook up to the air
drill bring it over and start working on it because we got to think about uh winter wheat
i'm going to explain to you guys a little bit of what's going on so you kind of have a better
understanding as you can tell this here has been deep ripped about 12 inches down roughly and then
of course i took the plow and the coil packer and it looks pretty level it's not really super level
but it's it's pretty close but what's happening is as you can tell it is just cutting the roots right
off all this kosha and this kosha i mean they got some really really big roots on it so we're
eliminating all the roots we're destroying all the growth that's on this field right now and what
we're doing is we're tilling in all that turds bunch of turds that we had spread on this land
and we're tilling it into the ground so now what's gonna happen is you're gonna have the earthworms
and organisms that are down in the ground and they're gonna start eating on all that turds
and start breaking it down which is going to turn the ground into more mellow and it's going to be
really really good nutrients for the plants to grow in so when we put our crop in the ground
it's going to be really like it's really basically fertilizers what it is this right
here has been deep ripped as you can tell it is really rough it's not very smooth at all
and i'm cutting the roots and i'm tilling the ground it's rolling the ground fluffing it up
a little bit and then i have these drag harrows right behind which is kind of leveling it out
and it's also if there's any weeds that are somewhat kind of attached in the ground
it's rolling the weeds and ripping them out so then you have this which is still
fairly rough you know it's kind of wavy and and it's not very great and you have clumps in it
well then you got the coil packer now if you look closely the coil packers they don't i'll
they don't spiral one direction some of the coil packers spiral this way and then other ones spiral
this way so what it does is it works against itself and it starts mashing and clumping up
those or breaking up the clumps and then it turns into this really nice seed bed as you can tell
that's looking pretty good you still have some clumps small ones but not very big at all
so this is turning out to be really really nice i mean it looks good
but uh i don't know what it is but there's something about the smell of freshly turned dirt
and when you're ripping in the ground and you're just seeing raw horsepower just
doing its thing it's just really soothing and relaxing to the soul
what are you beeping off take control okay let's get back
there's a few rocks out here so this isn't like a super big rock about the average size
that i've been pulling out of this field so it's nice that we were able to use that zone
builder and not only fracture the ground so that we can let more moisture go down below
and then that way the root structure for the next coming crop is able to tap into that moisture but
we're also ripping out these massive rocks so we don't break shanks as easy on our air drills and
uh it's it's good it's awesome it's working really well that i don't think would really
do very well with the combine if we don't pick it so nicole wiggles wiggly waxter
he can come out and rock dick he likes doing that stuff if he's not busy
well we're at the probably the last day of the wheat cleaning up the wheat finished the barley
yesterday no two days ago and uh there was a field here a couple fields of wheat that we
left and started the barley because this is low production and you want to see how low it is
here's how low it is i've given you the skinny on it yeah it's making about three
nice to be in the combine and uh kobe's in there he's hopefully won't take off
i uh put the parking brake on i didn't show him where that is all right he sees a little coyote
always fun he thinks it's uh a ryan so we'll see what happens
all right guys we were looking for a while and there really wasn't much out there and then all
of a sudden this thing popped up in shelby a 1986 ford 655a it runs really well it starts
great and it's got lots of power for what it is and there's so many times on this farm we really
we really could use a backhoe that runs well let's go take it for a test drive
this backhoe drives so smooth i mean it's it just compared your other one oh man our other one was
it was rough it was it was beat but yeah this thing is pretty stout and it just
it runs good it shifts great it's awesome so we plan to use this thing a lot well this is
probably the last full load on a cup on this combine as far as the wheat harvest i do have a
little bit more weed to cut but it's not going to amount to a full tank so i'm going to be dumping
probably the last time in this truck this harvest i'm not sure i'm gonna get it all on but i'll
try to get as much as i can all right kobe just got back from uh chasing a coyote are you tired
i gotta open the door i think he's using up all the oxygen
