Thanks Matt, you guys think of everything, and are super efficient! Your work today reminded me of Proverbs 24:27 (Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house.) Here's wishing you a rich harvest, with all God's blessings! God bless all your efforts, and crown them with success! Excellent work.A 'thumbs up,' to everyone!
Thanks Stephen. To be honest--it stressed me out when I realized I had several clips with no audio. I'm glad you and others are responding to it well. Spoiler alert. It happened in the next days audio too. -Matthew
Hi Arjan! Good to hear from someone so close. Looks like you boys won't need to irrigate the orchards for a bit after this weekend's storm. Hope all is well. -Matthew
Fields look good. My farmer told me he will have water on the 15th starting to flood the fields. Supposed to put our new duck blind in next weekend let hope the fields dry from this rain so we can do it.
Matt don't know if you have one but, I had a neighbor who had what was called a levee squeeze. It was built on a frame and was basically made from two old three point grader moldboards mounted on a 45 degree angle to each other opposed with a 2.5 to 3.5 spacing between them in the center you pulled your levees by runnin it flat about 2 to 3 inches deep that soil would be pushed together in the middle and packed...it did not leave that deep barrow trench like a Regular disk levee plow leaves. A good operator will build a levee that are really easy for combines to cross during harvest. I cross a standard built levee one year with a 715 IHC Combine and broke a drive wheel axle extension....
Hey Reid! Thanks for the message and glad to have you onboard for the 2020 rice crop. Did you follow along last year or just recently catch up on the ‘19 season? -Matthew
Hi Gene, most of the soil is called Adobe, very clay-like, so it's dark in color naturally---may give it an appearance of being wet on screen. There certainly is moisture in the soil but the chisel plow's function is to open it up, expose the soil to the sun and dry it totally out. -Matthew
So this will probably sound odd to you guys but here in Europe we very rarely use the hand throttle, i started driving tractors at our farm in about 1989 and have never seen one without foot throttle. We do use hand throttle when driving implements that need constant rpm like forrage and hay equipment but never on road/yard use or most of our tilling equipment. I on the other hand was thought to never use more rpms than needed. Funny how different we are 😊
What part if California are you in? I haul hay to dairys in the Tulare area twice a week from Utah. I love all the agriculture out there in the big valley.
My grandfather told me about an old timer that used to live up there somewhere. Everyone back then tried to figure out where because he brought quite a bit of gold outa those hills. As far as I know, nobody's ever found his lost deposit in the Sutter Buttes.
Have you thought of towing a couple of short lengths of railway iron or heavy pipe behind (as a leveling bar) too smooth it out more ,would make it much better too :) but nice work !!!
Matt would your local case ih dealer let u demo a disk ripper. I'm just curious how one would work. Maybe a disk ripping isn't a practice used in rice farming, maybe it's to deep of tillage.
Thanks for sharing matthew. I think that 7140 is my favorite tractor. Hows the corn going are you aready for a bumper crop and a huge paycheck😁😁😁. Couldnt even tell your audio stopped , it was like i was right there with you blowing out the filters very realistic 😁😁 . After you chisel plow i assume youll disk do you ever use a harrow to smooth out the seed bed. Hope you have a beautiful Sunday
Wondering if you have a website? Frequently asked questions and facts could be answered there and you could direct viewers there in the beginning of each video and in the description so you could spend less time answering frequently asked questions and then have more time with your family. It's more work in the beginning with the idea of less work later.
@@Ricefarmingtv To be exact Kroon Oil HD grease EP2 thats what the label said. I don't know the difference between yours and mine so idk if your machines will still run good ours run just fine so.. -Pieter/PDH
Great question. We make a total of 7 passes over the ground, from soil prep to fertilizer. That would take 1.5 weeks. Then 5 days to flood. Then seed! -Matthew
Why Matthew? But Why? Why would anyone run the ditcher too deep? How could that be possible? Your air compressor sound effects reminded me of an old small outboard motor going under water for the count! lol Happy Safe planting prep 2020! -Bob...
HAHA, Brian--I may have to. I looked at my raw-footage from the next day's filming. There are some clips missing audio again. Not sure what's going on with the connection of my external mic on my GoPro. -M.
Aren't you worried about ground compaction, as it seems (too) wet to go with the chisle plows into the fields? How deep are the roots of the rice going?😊 By the way, great video!👌
Matt fills in the drains... then mother nature sends in the April Rains. my poetry is not good as it should....( I thought I was watching one of the subtitled Godzilla movies for a minute...the ones where the dialog audio doesn't match the lips) you should do more comedy "inner -monologue " audio voices...
HAHA! Totally. Well, I'm hoping the audio doesn't keep crapping out on me. But I'm uploading a new video tomorrow and it happened again. Not on a good streak but I'm trying to make the best out of it. Thanks! -M.

Hello from Nigeria. Do you chisel plow every year? and please can i get your email. Will like have a chat with you. I am starting rice farming and will like some advice.
I am glad you enjoy supper like I do. I thought that was just a southern US thing (NC)
Hi Lance, I think we adopted "supper" from the south. We definitely enjoy it out west though.

Thanks for taking the time
My pleasure, David! Happy to do it.

Our rice is coming off now here in Australia.
Hello from Yuba City! Hope your ground work is going well, I know it’s definitely time to do some orchard floor work as the weather gets better.

The best voice over and foley editing I've heard in years! Level expert Matthew!
HAHAHA! I've practiced that all at home and Clara (my wife) thought I was going crazy.
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv HAHA! I think we all practiced that as kids playing with legos and hot wheels! Success!
Oh yeah! Totally! And with He-man, ninja turtles and machine guns made out of sticks.
@@Ricefarmingtv heck yeah! 🤙
Awesome voice over :D Man do I miss working the land myself yet again when I see the equipment moving out. I can almost smell it as well.
Looks like another great day in Gridley California, also another great video.
Thank you, Frank! Glad you enjoyed.

Hope you got all the work done before the rain hit
Hi Bruce-no, we got hit hard at a bad time. May have to re-work some soil. We’ll see once the rain stops.
-M.
Rice Farming TV one of the biggest storms all year and you were right . Waiting to work the soil , to early can bite you in the ars!!
Ayyyy keep on farming brother we need food strawberry farmer from the Netherlands checking in keep the people FED🍓
Forget all the hater's if you and paps weren't doing a good job you still wouldn't be in farming. Do what you do and keep on keeping on
Amen brother. Thank you!
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv anytime buddy
You always do good job
Good job ...........in mid April we will also start wheat harvesting
Looks like you have the rice crop under contol, how about the corn crop? Nice video dude.
Hi John, I'll be updating throughout the year on the corn crop. I haven't forgot it. It is still under the soil though.

Thank you, Skinny! I was stressed out when I first found the audio missing.
-M.
Lmao. I laughed out loud when you said "rick has all his teeth". My co workers names is Rick and his "chisel plow" is missing a few teeth lol
HAHA! That's hilarious. I know a couple people that are missing a few teeth on their "chisel plow". Good one, Phil!

You my hero
Never new anything about rice other than I love fried rice from any hibachi grill. When will you harvest?
Funny Farm fall just like other crops
Matthew, if you are going to flood the fields to plants the rice, why do you want to dry them out?
We need more of those voice overs 😂
It's like you can see the future.
-M.
Would you have an easier time using autosteer?

Under 500 Views! Ah man the voice over haha! Also we have green grease at home u have red(i live in the Netherlands)
Nice! I've got to get me the Dutch royal green grease. What's the brand? Ours is Chevron!

-Pieter/PDH
Yeah, the red grease is a no. 2 grade as well. I bet it would work just fine. The different dye must be a brand identity thing.
@@Ricefarmingtv I guess so
Id say that air filter was doing its job :)
Totally David! Windy days certainly put them to the test and put us to work-blowing them out.
-Matthew
Hello, quick question, do you guys plant something on the levies after you ridge them up, to keep the rain from eroding them? Thanks in advance
Good question, Shawn. We don’t. Weeds will grow and plus it doesn’t rain much during the crop year. Only maybe in the tail-end of spring.
-M.
How many days does it usually take y'all to get all your fields prepared for seeds
Great question. We make a total of 7 passes over the ground, from soil prep to fertilizer. That would take 1.5 weeks. Then 5 days to flood. Then seed!
-Matthew
How is this rain effecting the fields?
It’s washing away a bit of work we did. It’s also going to be awhile until we can get back in the fields.
Cool i was #1 with a 👍 this time
What happened with the April 5 rain?
It’s pouring down now Johnny. I need to get my videos caught up.
-M.
Why Matthew? But Why? Why would anyone run the ditcher too deep? How could that be possible? Your air compressor sound effects reminded me of an old small outboard motor going under water for the count! lol Happy Safe planting prep 2020! -Bob...

Rice Farming TV, it’s been raining off and on here in Glenn county.
Sligar, we’re gonna need you to go ahead and do all the audio and special effects in editing from now. Thanks in advance.
HAHA, Brian--I may have to. I looked at my raw-footage from the next day's filming. There are some clips missing audio again. Not sure what's going on with the connection of my external mic on my GoPro.

Rice Farming TV the struggles of social media farmers right?
Totally!
hello, can anyone tell me what the make and model of the plow chisel? tks you!
Do you also fill the tractor fuel tanks at night to minimize condensation in the tank?
The sound effects 😂😂😂
Ha! Glad you enjoyed, Jon.

Aren't you worried about ground compaction, as it seems (too) wet to go with the chisle plows into the fields? How deep are the roots of the rice going?😊

Do you guys run auto steer
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thumbs up to you too! Thanks.

That old 7240 could use a good wash and wax, son. I'm sure you don't have anything else to do! ;>)
You may have answered elsewhere, but how many acres on your farm?
1,200 acres of medium grain Calrose rice, here in California.
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv Thanks, you guys have large farms.
Thankyou under
Rick's chisel plow didn't look very parallel to the ground 🤔
good afternoon. how many hectares you produce. how many hectares in the region. you produce needle rice.
you pre germinated plantation you zapp
man you can grow a crop in that air filter lol
HAHAHA! I love it. I'll tell that to the operators next time they come to me with a dirty air filter.

In Guyana we call it dish ploughing...not ridger
But we dont do chisel ploughing in Guyana

You aren’t supposed to blow that type of filter out. Made to throw away.
Hey Matt, we blow out the outer air filter. They are supposed to be blown out. The inner air filter is the one made to throw away.

You should visit rice farm in India at my farm
