    Isn't it a little early

    They did a good explanation of early soy planting, using seed treatment to prevent seed disease and rot in the ground. What happens if a frost happens say after the beans are above ground on April 15 and a frost happens on April 20. Seems like the bean plant would not take that no matter the...

    Combine operation

    Several of the famous y tube farmers are harvesting crops now and base their October videos around that. These are mostly newer big combines and younger operators. There seems a wide variation in ground speed that these fellas follow. I have heard them say you have to load a combine to get it...

    Combine operation

    I think these guys in the video were running an S 97 Gleaner ,a not very common model in eastern Corn Belt. The console screen readout would say 2800 /bu hr. The driver would say the feeder house was too small for the size of the header. He would plug material at the feeder housing on the...

    Cant sleep

    If you have Wally World close go to the vitamin dept & look for a bottle of nature's bounty anxiety & stress relief tablets. Your local drugstore will have it also. Don't take a whole tablet right out of bottle. It is over the counter purchase and is considered safe and effective.

    Olivers

    Semi-tractor is about 1956 or 1957 model. They were sold as Fords in the U S. Sold as Mercury's in Canada . The Oliver's might be 1957 models. He has 8 tractors for the load. Would not think they would overload a truck at the factory . He might be headed to a dealer in Canada or already be in...

    Two evenings ago there was a small press conference in a soybean field in Iowa. A past Boss Hog was the center of attention at that conference. This was all farmers gathered except for ag press people and security people. They were all standing in front of a rather new looking 780 green combine...

    In S E Indiana E-10 gas was 3.59 this morning. This was a Kroger grocery station. You buy their grocery's and get discounts on gas purchases.

    There was a driverless T - 8, N H tractor at the Farm Progress Show . Any of you see that. The T-8 was pulling a grain cart along side a large N H combine harvesting corn. The T -8 was moving exactly the same speed as the CR 990 N H combine. Apparently the combine operator had software in his...

    National Plowing Contest

    Towards the end of video there was old John Deere looked like plowing 4 inch deep. Wonder if your score is docked for plowing that shallow. We never plowed that shallow. Usually 7-8 inches deep.

    cell service

    Sometimes a mobile hotspot can be created, but generally you would have to have a cell tower signal that can be collected by the mobile hotspot installed in your house. Many rural folks have used a Net gear night hawk M 1 as a hotspot device. You would need to visit a store that sells cell...
