Hard to believe that the Max Emerge row units were introduced over 50 yrs ago, almost 50 yrs ago that a Deere engineer convinced management that the front fold frame would work by building a model, and the vacuum meter is about 45 yrs old. I helped test the original blower for those vacuum meters. Keep up the good work! And, oh, back in the '60's when I was farming, I think we had the choice of about 5 varieties of beans. They were just starting to hybridize them.
Thanks for the comment. Soybeans are a completely different market today than a few decades ago. We can profit just as much growing soybeans as corn, so companies have invested serious money into RnD and breeding. It is neat to see the progression over the years. The equipment we run now, especially the brand new stuff, would seriously blow away a farmer or engineer from generations ago...
@@aTrippyFarmer Yep, your farms have completely opposite issues. Praying Montana doesn’t have another drought year. Weather seems to be a farmer’s biggest issue & you can’t control it.
Love your Drone shots and all the explaining on the seed bean numbets. Appreciate every thing you do for America and feeding thevWorld. You deserve to make a profit!!
Wow, Farming just gets bigger and bigger. 600 acer in the 1980's would have taken 3-5 days or even more. I would like for your dad to talk about farming in the 1980's. My family said farming in the 80's was a nightmare. It seems the 80's cycle is coming back around and going to hit around 2023. Fasten your seat belt it's about to get bumpy!!!, lol
If I remember right you guys are by mattoon,il if so what is going on with the big field of corn that's along the side of 57 there was two john deere combines and grain carts seating out there for like 2 months now last time I was by there was the beginning of April.. I live off of I-70 45 min east of st.louis.
This is what I have heard, but its probably hearsay: a bigger farmer never got around to harvesting those few fields all winter. We had plenty of frosts, so I don't know what the holdup was. Those combines have been there since January. The corn was downed really bad, and I think a lot of the remainder was in bad shape. They ended up burning ALL of the remaining crop this last week and worked it under. It has been interesting to watch, and I am sure there is a good explanation to it all!
Hey there Trippy, I hope this finds you all well and good! Looks like y'all had a very productive first day, I hope it continues for you. With ground pressure/compaction being a very important/popular topic of discussion, I noticed that your planter tractors don't have duals on the front, unlike most of the tractors you see out planting, is there a particular reason you have for that decision? I hope y'all have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
When we bought both of these tractors, which was nearly 10 years ago, front duals on tractors weren't as popular yet, and my dad thought they were unnecessary. If we trade up one of these years to newer tractors, we will get duals on the front. I think it will help with a variety of things: steering, flotation, and ride quality.
@@aTrippyFarmer Tracks are where it's at, tracks on everything, tractors, combines, planters, grain carts. The only real drawback on the tractors is if you road them a lot, the life expectancy is significantly lower, however there are things that can be done to reduce the amount of degradation.
The 8285R isn’t rated for front duals. Yhe 8310R came with from duals 10 years ago, but that was before everyone had decided front duals was the best thing to do. We didn’t take the front duals… I wish we had!
I noticed that when you were planting soybeans there was a lot of dust in the air. Does the cabin compartment of the tractor have any sort of air filtration system. If not it doesn't look to healthy for your lungs. My dad had a lot of sinus issues because of harvesting alfalfa in his younger years before joing the Army.
Like the other commenter said, the tractors have some of the best filtration systems that you can have. All of the dust and dirt in the cab is directly from dirt shoes and clothes entering, or someone not waiting for the outside dust to settle before opening the door!
Andy... I can't beleive I'm watching this video for the third time, I guess I must be hooked on your videos. You mention numerious varieties of soybeens and corn. You also mentioned alternating soybeans and corn on the fields each planting season. How do you supplement the soil each season regarding the nutrients that are pulled from the soil the previous season? I would think you would have to do something otherwise the soil might eventually just produce limited returns because of the reduced nutrients. When I was stationed in South Korea while in the Army. The Koreans actually used human waste to fertilize their fields, which I don't recommend. My barracks was right up against the perimeter fence with a farmers field on the other side. Not a place you want to be in the hot summer with the wind blowing towards the barracks.
We fertilize every fall with P and K for both crops, as well as some Nitrogen for the corn. We also apply Nitrogen in the spring on corn to split up the amount going into the ground at one time. We pull soil samples every couple of years to test soil levels. A lot of farmers invest a lot of money in fertility… it is important!
What type of stuff (camera, computer, windows/Mac, software) do you use to do your videos? I start my first day farming Wednesday and want to make some videos.
That’s awesome, Brad! I’d recommend a GoPro for filming, Adobe Premiere Pro for editing(there are free programs that work, too), and any decent computer to work on. Good luck!
You can run it as fast as the tractor will pull it, but you lose some accuracy. I run around 8mph, which is probably too fast. Soybeans aren't too picky in terms of spacing, as long as the depth and overall population is correct.
@@aTrippyFarmer I am really happy to start to see field start to be planted. The field behind my house is 230 acre and they just started disking it today
We farm a few thousand acres, and all of our crops are on a strict corn-soybean rotation. If we acquire a new farm or have another unique situation, we might do some soybeans-on-soybeans to get the rotation numbers where we like them.
Use of Hiugh Definition ( HD) sunglasses over Polaroid varities will improve vision in extreme sun conditions, also in low kight conditions. Your best bet to get them areew at Flea Markets, believe it or not. Buy several pr., as plastic temples are cheaply made and become brittle and tend to break. You won';t regret buying them !
Do you consider cold germination viability on the early planted corn? Soil temps? Predicted cold spells? Or is it more it's dry, it's late, we're planting?
Good questions. Cold germination is not something we look at beyond validating the quality of the seed. Ground conditions are the first consideration, and the calendar is second. We haven't used a soil temperature probe for serious consideration in ages. If the ground is perfect and its the 1st week of April, we will plant. If it is marginal, we won't plant. If it is marginal on the 2nd week of may, we will plant. The calendar is a very important tool, especially considering the statistical significance that it plays in optimizing yield potential. Mid to late April is the money zone. As for forecast, it plays a role in short-term decision making. If there is a rain nearby in the forecast followed by much cooler temperatures, we might not be as aggressive to plant. It just depends on the year...
Have you heard the latest from Mariupol', Ukraine there is a John Deere dealership that had like 3 combines ($300k ea), a bunch of tractors, and various implements stolen? I guess the combines and tractors were equipped with GPS and they have been traced to some town in Chechnya. John Deere was able to disable them remotely. The Russian Army is believed to be the ones who stole the equipment to include a lot of grain from silos in and around Mariupol. If John Deere can disable this stolen equipment remotely imagine what they could do in the USA if this administration wanted to make the food shortages even worse.
They said the Russians are trying to reverse engineering to get the stuff going. The plunder is unbelievable. Equipment, grain is Being stolen as well.
I had read something about that... it is no surprise that war results in pillaging. I know remotely disabling equipment seems scary, but there is no scenario in which John Deere would ever stand to benefit by using that power on its customers. Farmers are worth a large chunk of their revenue, and they are not a good group to upset!

For four years now polo illinois farmers have only grown corn and although I have no proof they seem to have switched to a cheaper crappier seed as of slight less than four years ago because polo has been infested with northern corn rootworm beetles. Before four years ago I've gone over 20 years without even knowing what these things were because I've never seen them. Now every year they are back with greater numbers. These farmers refuse to do crop rotation(I'm guessing they aren't trying to be organic and don't care about pest populations because out of four years I've only seen them plane spray once). Everyone I talk to seem to not even know what northern corn rootworm beetles are. Those things are the most destructive pest I've ever seen. They destroy FAR MORE than just corn so I'm unsure why they are named as they are. They should be named GREEN DEVILS.
Hard to believe that the Max Emerge row units were introduced over 50 yrs ago, almost 50 yrs ago that a Deere engineer convinced management that the front fold frame would work by building a model, and the vacuum meter is about 45 yrs old.

Welker’s weren’t quite as excited about planting in the dust.
So glad to see you planting, started to worry. Love the drone shots!
Their dust and our dust are two completely different degrees of dry... we have been fortunate here!
@@aTrippyFarmer Yep, your farms have completely opposite issues. Praying Montana doesn’t have another drought year. Weather seems to be a farmer’s biggest issue & you can’t control it.
I always enjoy your videos, don't understand a lot of it, but still like watching
Some of it can be confusing for a non-farmer. I don't always explain everything perfectly, either!
This is exiting!!! Planting 2022!!! The clock has started. The rain has differently caused problems but y’all are moving quick great video!
I am excited as well. We are putting the hammer down!
Good luck on planting have a over all safe an productive year of farming U guys keep farming an I will keep watching
Appreciate that. Best wishes!
Love your Drone shots and all the explaining on the seed bean numbets. Appreciate every thing you do for America and feeding thevWorld. You deserve to make a profit!!
Our pleasure!
Glad you guys finally got in the fields to plant.
Me too.... I was getting nervous!
Its a great feeling to get started planting in the spring!!!!
.
Agreed, especially after waiting a few extra weeks...
We only at 3600 acres rt now just wondering about what you are doing rt now. Everything looks great man. Thank you. Good bless America
Very great video for the farm and field work
Thank you!
Top of the morning to you Trippy. Marty actually let you run big equipment without supervision. Who knew! 👏
I get let off the leash occasionally!
Thanks for the videos and Hi from Brisbane, Australia 🦘
Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you Australia for all your sacrifices World War II. Many of those sacrifices are not well known in the United States.
I like the info when you say what something cost I am new subscriber here be watching all your uploads had no clue who much goes into farming !!!
I try to include that information when it helps!
Excellent day. Good to see some dry dirt for y'all
Thank you!
Thanks. Loved the drone footage.
Thanks 👍
John Deere is across the river from me, plow planter works, I worked two blocks away at the farmall plant
That's neat!!!
thanks brother

I think we are in for wild times as well. I am sure he and his brothers would have some interesting stories to tell about their 6+ decades of farming.
Planting that Channel aye. Great choice!
You know it!
Wow nice video
All the best ...... Do make an introduction video about everyone who assists you in your planting season ..... Just a suggestion
Yes I should do that!
Good luck with #Plant2022!!! But Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!
Hopefully it is stress free.... highly unlikely!
Bellissimo video 👍

Hello from Canada
Nice drone shots.
Glad you enjoyed!!
Awesome footage!
Thanks for watching!
Moro is by Alton, little farm town, about 300 people then.
Okay... small little town!
Keep the amazing work
We will!
Best of luck brother

Here in NE nebraska we plant from 2.0 to 3.0 soybeans good video trippy
Only slightly shorter season than us. Thanks for watching!
I was expecting to see your Mother loading those 2 bags of soybeans. I was disappointed
Hey why do I see farmers removing the front duals for planting? Is there a reason behind it? Does it increase compaction?
The 8285R isn’t rated for front duals. Yhe 8310R came with from duals 10 years ago, but that was before everyone had decided front duals was the best thing to do. We didn’t take the front duals… I wish we had!

Looks good putting seed in the ground are u guys running high speed equipment
The corn planter is a high-speed system. The soybean planter is a regular-speed system that gets ran like its a high-speed... haha
I’ve noticed you take the key out of the tractor is their a certain reason you take it out?
If they are parked anywhere other than inside of our sheds, we always lock the cabs and hide the keys!
How fast can you plant in the bean planter
You can run it as fast as the tractor will pull it, but you lose some accuracy. I run around 8mph, which is probably too fast. Soybeans aren't too picky in terms of spacing, as long as the depth and overall population is correct.

I grew up in Moro Ill, where are you located? When I was young I worked on the farm.

How many acres do you run, and what is your rotation
We farm a few thousand acres, and all of our crops are on a strict corn-soybean rotation. If we acquire a new farm or have another unique situation, we might do some soybeans-on-soybeans to get the rotation numbers where we like them.

Well water is good stuff!
@@aTrippyFarmer It is! Especially out of a pitcher pump.

Will you guys use less fertiliser due to the extra cost?? Cheers
Nope. We haven't cut back on anything yet. The high grain prices have offset a lot of the increase in fertilizer prices.
