I know man, why use something so questionable when he could be using paraquat.

You can use just one string. We are switching to that method this year. We space the cucumbers 12” apart.

The 6410 is getting close to 7k the 6210 has around 5k. I bought them both used.

@@wardlowfarms906 we bought our 6310 new in 1999 and used it up to 8000 hours.Now our 6115M (we bought that one after the 6310 new) already has around 7300hours also^^....its time for a new 6130M...(i hope) this year.

It is a 6210. It’s been a great tractor!

Thanks for watching! They have been great tractors for the most part. lol They need a little work but they keep the farm rolling.

@@wardlowfarms906 "they keep the farm rolling" that is the only thing that matters!🙂

They are soybean feed cups from shoup

Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching!

Yes it is. We are into harvest now and can barely keep up

We normally use dual before we plant. That is all we use. After it’s planted we use a garden hoe and we cultivate. We are a little behind on videos. It’s not so clean now. We’ve gotten a ton of rain and we’re into harvesting now. It’s hard to keep the weeds out all season long.

We really like it to. I think it’s the best easy corn out there

Thanks for the tips!

Glad you like them! We appreciate you watching!

All the growers I’ve talked to use it. It definitely doesn’t hurt anything to use it and it’s cheap. We’ve had good luck using it but they is always more than one way to do things. Thanks for the comment! We appreciate it!

Thank you

Mircoplastics are everywhere and not just from plastic mulch used by farmers. It’s seems to be more of something we breathe in. You can even absorb them from drinking water in plastic bottles. Airborne microplastics can even settle in the soil where no plastic mulch is laid. This seem to be a new trend of topics out there and there isn’t a lot of research to even know the effects. Plants don’t absorb microplastics so my opinion is just to make sure you wash your fruits and vegetables well before you consume them.

You are welcome!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

@@wardlowfarms906 yes sir

We have gotten frost as late as around May 10th and as early as around October 10th. That’s usually uncommon. Most commonly late April is the last frost and late October for our first frost.

​@@wardlowfarms906when do we see a harvest vido

That’s a good idea! The belt loop on the gro-tie twine makes it a little easier for us but it never hurts to try to save some money.

Thanks! We appreciate it! Good luck with your project!

Thanks so much! We appreciate it!

I thought so to. They told me he was a German Shepherd when I bought him 🤷‍♂️

He must have ran out lol

Thanks! If you noticed I was actually wearing a Panama City sweat shirt. We vacation there almost every year. We love it down there.

Thank you very much

You would have to define what you think good is lol My wife and I have full time jobs. It definitely isn’t enough to live on by itself. We do make a profit and it pays for itself but it isn’t going to make us rich. We do it because we love to do it.

@@wardlowfarms906 have you ever decided about making hay bales?

Hay isn’t really that profitable in our area. Most people who need hay grow their own. We make more doing what we are doing than producing hay especially with that acres we have.

About 15 to 20 miles away. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes to get there depending on traffic.

Thanks for watching!! We’ve got plenty of videos to come. You’ll have to stop in sometime.

That’s the way we got it but I don’t think it will blow away anytime soon. 🤣 Thanks for commenting.

We actually bought the meters from precision planting and never modified them at all. We ran the sprocket setting on the lowest population listed for corn in our John Deere 7000 planter book. It ended up spacing the pumpkins about 4 feet apart.

@@wardlowfarms906 yes I have the same meters but they aren't working for me. They plant 5 seeds and then leave a 15 foot skip. Would you know of a solution for that?

I don’t have a clue. We’ve never had a problem with ours. They may plant some doubles here and there depending on the seed size but mostly we’ve never had a problem. Do your drive wheels have good contact with the ground? We have had issues with that a time or two. We’ve had them scoot on top of the ground causing the planter units not to turn.

@@wardlowfarms906 yes my wheels have good contact. When I spin the planter by hand it spits out seed but once the planter does it it won't plant.

I’m not sure but if you are spinning them by hand and seed is coming out I would think your problem is not the meters themselves but rather something in the planter drive or transmission. I believe there is a sprocket from the drive chain to the slip clutch that has a roll pin in it that sometimes breaks which doesn’t allow the transmission to turn correctly. You may check that out.

Thank you and we will keep them coming!

We've got a ton of videos coming. Thanks for watching and good luck with your farm!

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it. I have a bunch of content to edit. We got into harvest season and I got way behind lol Glad you like our videos!

We’ve been looking into a planter that plants sweet corn and lays plastic over it at the same time. Unfortunately they cost a lot of money but we hope to have one someday

We actually bought them from a precision planting ag dealer. We used modified old finger pick up meters in the past but the precision planting meters do a much but job with plant spacing. If you watched till the end of the video, I took the meters apart to show the difference in the precision ag meter versus an older finger pick up meter. We are very happy with them.

Does singulation/ consistency stay true with a variety of seed sizes?

@@eligerry3097 For the most part yes. You will have some skips and doubles with really small seed but for the most part we are very happy with them and would not go back to using the ones we made ourselves. For the money they are hard to beat especially if your using a ground driven planter.

Sounds good thanks for you’re help!

@@eligerry3097 Anytime! Glad we could help!

They are actually seed cups. This planter does not use disc. I got the seed cups from Sloan Express to fit a John Deere 7000 planter.

The short answer is we don’t have a crimper but we do roll the cover crop down after it dies down.
