  • On today's episode we venture across the farm yard to the new and shiny Corvette for an almost larger than life construction project, plus we visited Tabletop and Grandpa's Farm to determine the fate of our early planting season, fixed the 5th wheel plate on our Freightliner semi, brushed up on what being a modern day farmer entails, and stained wood for the dryer shack.

    @justthings6405 2 года назад +9

    You have to work the soil in the fall to prep for the spring---that corn field you were looking at would have been uniformly dry instead of having corn bedding with frozen ground because it wasn't somewhat buried and conditioned properly. The early planting is 75% right year after year..If you are going to optimize yields, you have to put the time in with fall's work!

    • @thepom572
      @thepom572 2 года назад

      The more Cole and the other FarmTubers can inform/educate us and the wider public on how hard/risky/expensive and downright hard work farming is to produce the food on our tables. The more (I hope) people will appreciate them and understand what they do for us. Without the likes of Cole and family, Welkers,, Zac MNMillenial Farmer in the US and Tom Pemberton etc in the UK, millions of everyday suburban/city folk would have zero idea of what goes into and where their food comes from.
      I'm lucky that I come from aa farming area and from a family with farming links(Butchers/meat trade) so I have some idea of the struggle.

    Soil building.....sounds like the permaculture guys.😍
    I grew up on a dairy/cash crop farm. Lots of natural manure to replenish the fields. Loved the corn cob mulch for the flower beds. And when the cows were in the front orchard/pasture they did an excellent job trimming the trees and eating the apples and pears. One summer was very wet, the corn grew like crazy and we filled those silos. The weight of theirn squeezed and compacted the corn chop. Fluids eased out from the bottom drains.....and cooked in the sun......whereupon I saw happy cows staggering around very tipsy. Life on the farm has its funny momments.

    Usually, the weather in California is farm favorable nearly all year round. However, one year in the late 70's, a violent spring storm came in at the end of planting season and dropped a record amount of rain and hail in just one afternoon. The end result was that thousands of acres of planted cotton was now under water. When the ground dried, it left a hard crust which the seeds could not push through. All those acres had to be replanted at great expense.

    I wonder if any of the companies making round steel grain bins have tested one in a wind tunnel?
    About 10 years ago I built a scale wind tunnel to try to measure the wind resistance on a model of an F150 with and without a topper on it. The fan I had wasn’t strong enough to be able to measure anything noticeable. I even had an ounce scale connected to an L shaped piece of cardboard. It was a fun thing to do. It would need a really strong fan to make it work.
