Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Food Plot Farming

Live from the seat. Yes I'm bored...lol

That is a fine looking food plot Sammo!

What variety corn are you planting Sam?

Gotta get that Jeezus Juice!

Hahahaha!

Wish I had some Jeezus Juice.

Been shoveling shìt out of lambing jugs all afternoon.

Was washing dishes before that.

Ugliest housefrau you ever saw...

Sam;
Good afternoon, thanks for the Versatile videos my friend.

As I've said before, I spent a few years running a Versatile 935 back in the day.

If memory serves you all have an 875?

They had a better Cummins in them I believe - 6 cylinder instead of the 903 V8 that the 935 had. They'd overheat if you weren't watching the coolant and exhaust temps really closely.

Good to see you're out on the land for sure.

Dwayne

Damn! $250 per acre for nitrogen...

I've followed the fertilizer truck from the Co-op around quite a bit this year already. For the rich folks I whore out to, of course.

You folks in wheat country can't buy ammonium nitrite either?

Crittr, thanks, I'm sure the deer will enjoy themselves immensely!



Wabs, I'm not sure. Whatever silage variety Wilbur Ellis wanted to sell. Should be around a 95 day?



Jim, it sounds like you had way more fun than me! I'm safely back in the shelter now, might have just opened a cold beer...



Dwayne, yep, that one is an 875, we also have an old 835 that has been basically retired to manure dozer work. The Cummins inline 6 is a great engine, love 'em.



Barry, it's sickening. We're going to have over $400/acre into that feed by the time it makes it into the silage pile. But we're only doing 60 acres of corn, I'd be sick if we were doing 600....

Our spring wheat fertilizer is going to be greatly reduced. High price, drought situation so it doesn't make sense to spread a bunch of that on the dry land. And we droughted out last year so hopefully there is significant carry over of nitrogen. The plan is to just put down 80lbs(starter blend) with the drill when we seed, not going to top dress anything.

Why's this little girl keep popping up on YT when I try to play your video from the YT app?

Kids these days would cry if they had to run the ol' Style with no auto steer and mouse piss infused warm air blowin' out the vents straight into their face....lol

Last year we finally entered the modern tech age and bought a little 'newer' 4 wheel drive tractor.


It's fricken sweet compared to the old Versatiles. Nice quiet cab, hit the auto steer button and play on your phone. Easy beans sitting in there.

Of course the AC did go out and then it became torture. Gotta have Case IH send a service truck down here to figure it out. AC works good until the outside temp gets above 70F, then it quits.

Ya shoulda run our old 1470 Case!

I'm not smart on the videos, but a few days back.

Sam,
How many tons of feed will you get out of that 60 acres?

That doesn’t sound like enough acres to get all your cows through a Montana winter.

We did some soil samples Sam.

Like us...you should have some reserve this year.

Oldquailhunter, I just tried doing some math and I think the corn patch might produce 20-25% of winter cow feed.

We use it to feed mostly calves and young cows.


Makes a really nice blend/dust reducer when mixed with ground hay.

Jim, what is your dry land farm plan?

Crops, etc..


I'm nervous, hell everyone is.....lol

Dust something in as cheap as possible.

If it rains...top dress and scramble for weed spray like everyone else.

If it dont rain...well...call insurance man.

It could rain a quarter inch next week and turn things around.


I am not going to start till next weekend. Its bone dry. Like you can't find moisture.

It dont get drier than that...so what's another week to hope for a rain?

And by something...I mean spring wheat.
