- Join me on the Kapper Outdoors farm in the Ozarks as we drill 14 acres of soybeans! Will the risk bring a return? This is part 1 of 2 in our Missouri farm vlog series. Stay tuned for more updates on Kapper Outdoors 2.0!
PART 1 of 2 Drilling 14 acres of soybeans today on our new Missouri farm! Here is some background if you are new to the channel:
Well if you've ever moved you know that there are always unforseen expenses along the way! In today's episode I'll take you along for some behind the scenes adventure from my last road trip from our Southern Illinois farm over to our new Missouri farm. Today I'll load up the 12 foot bushwhacker batwing mower and my food plot cultipacker, my old food plot drag and we'll hit the road heading west over to the new 575 acre Missouri farm! Oh, we decided to buy a 'cheap' and temporary computer for the Missouri farm so that we can edit videos, and surf the internet during our 2 to 3 day stays at the Missouri farm. And also I'll pick up 18 bags of soybeans in preparation for some food plot drilling action coming out on a future episode!
This is a massive life undertaking and we'd love to have you join us for all of the adventures as this time we will be documenting and sharing the entire journey! Thank you! Here is some background from the last few episodes in case you are new to our channel:
ON THE LAST EPISODE: • Missouri 575 acre farm...
It was a last minute, hasty road trip, but we had some big success! Join me for today's 575 Acre Missouri farm road trip and updates as I take another load of our stuff and equipment from Southern Illinois over to our new 575 acre Southern Missouri farm. I started on multiple bush hogging missions with my KIOTI RX7320 and the RHINO 6' HD bush hog! I'll start to clean up the side yard behind the lean to barn and I'll head down a long deep woods road in reverse to get the trail open up with my Kioti RX7320. This is an overgrown jungle, in some areas it is well over 10 feet high! Join me in the tractor cab as we make some success happen today! Also I will start clearing the pond edges and the pond dam, but that was just a little sketchy! lol.
Thanks for joining me today, if you are new to the channel here is some background on our channel and our new Missouri home and land:
Was this Divine Intervention? While many may not believe, I do keep the faith when it comes to living this life and putting certain priorities above others. Join me for today's episode #1 of our new life, land and Ozarks Missouri adventures! Recently we bought a 575 acre Southern Missouri farm in the Ozarks and today will be our first moving trip, our first road trip after legally owning the new 575 acre Missouri farm, and all of the adventures that go along with it. Join us for today's episode as I begin our moving process from Southern Illinois over to Southern Missouri. Today I'll tackle some of the challenges associated with equipment hauling over such a long distance. In this episode I'll be hauling my KIOTI RX7320 powershuttle cab tractor, my home made chisel disc plow and some other equipment on my equipment trailer. Oh, and I almost had a near disasterous collision in the St. Louis area as a car literally broke down only a few cars ahead of me, so while cruising at 65 mph there was a completely stopped car right in front of me and I had nowhere to go in either lane, left or right of me, so I locked up all of the brakes on my Ford F250 and the equipment trailer, and fortunately I don't tailgate so I had enough room to get my truck and equipment trailer stopped just in the nick of time! Also today I'll give you an up close and realtime view of the dead end gravel road that our new 575 acre Missouri farm sits on, and then a look at our OVER a mile long private gravel driveway as well. This is a very exciting episode and we thank you for joining us!

I haven't seen a soybean field since I moved to Texas. They grow mostly winter wheat and cotton down here. A few farmers try corn from time to time, but it usually burns up before they get a crop and they plow it under. This year was cooler and wetter than most. You may have heard the saying, 'knee high by the fourth of July', but by the middle of June, the corn had tasseled and had full sized ears. Now they'll have to come up with a combine to harvest their crop! Been here 40+ years, never seen a corn crop come in.
Yep same here this year for those lucky farmers that got their corn in early and before the mega rains. They are 7' high by the 4th of July!! And everyone else is knee high, lol. It was a wet spring here for sure also!
Good vid Kap! Hey, Joe the Farmer told me that I'm supposed to tell you how much I like your videos and how great you are, because he said that you like hearing how great you are LOL!
LOL I'll take that!! Yeah I do get brow beat from JTF but's its all good! Thanks brother!
Good job getting the soybeans in!
Looking good Kapper
Thank you, the real test will be if they keep growing and the deer and rabbits don't devour them before they can get past 6 inches tall!
Kapper, with all that chaff, sod , and hard ground, ive had the best results just setting the drill on the ground and picking up my ground speed. Good luck man
Thanks man, but I feel like I've got a pretty good start this time!! Mother nature was great with lots of post drilling rains!! Stay tuned!
I would definitely make that fence gate wider for dump trucks, semis, and other big equipment for future projects, I would also do the same on those narrow culvert crossings with the rocks
Yeah in due time that might have to be done. Only problem is it is so very permanent! Concrete posts all around, and very sturdy!
Guys that did the hay could have raked a good few more bales there 🤔 look forward to seeing the beans coming through the ground 👌
I bet you end up with a wider, prettier front gate. Good work again. Beautiful, private farm.
Very possible down the road! But man, right now just soo much to try to take in each day!!
Really impressive -- you got the kinks out of getting the beans in. Will be neat to see what grows!!
Sorry for your loss on your former coach.
I enjoy hearing you and Sharons stories. Everyone has a 20 Chapter blockbuster Novel of life experiences. Thanks for sharing :)
Beautiful trees and land. Im on 2 acres rural and love it lol
You and Sharon have youre own Island paradise ! 🎉
Thank you! Yeah just another remider of how precious and short life can be! We'll see what happens in the coming weeks! Pt 2 comes out today. Thanks
I lease my 80 acres to a farmer in Salem Illinois, and he planted soybeans this year again. But the weeds were about 2 feet high in spots. He sprayed on Saturday and planted on Sunday about 2 weeks ago. Weeds are now brown. Hope they grow.
Them farmers got it pretty well down pat! I'm sure it will work out for them.
This is what we want to see.
BOOM! Coming at you brother!! Thanks!
I hope your Laredo beans are round up ready
Well they told me multiple times that they are!! Lets hope they are right!! I'll find out pretty soon!
Watch out Joe, Laredo Soybeans are a Hay Bean (grows lush and tall and good for wildlife) but are NOT ROUNDUP READY!! So don't spray them with Glysophate cause it'll kill the plants. So maybe they'll do ok and you can control grass with Clethodim or something similar. Be sure before applying something on them. Good luck---you certainly have gotten lots of rain on them.
That’s what I was thinking when I saw Laredo. I think Hutcheson is another soybean variety they use in some food plot mixes because they are cheaper.
@@rep1989 You are right. Hutchinson is a Hay Bean also. Not RR. Kapper should have more than enough of these soy beans get him to fall food plot planting time.
Well I checked with the coop three times! And they confirmed they are! Here is a google search of them:
Yes, some varieties of forage soybeans, including Laredo soybeans, are available as Roundup Ready®
@@KapperOutdoors2.0 OK, Carry on but CAUTIOUSLY!!!!
Those guage wheels usually have 3 or 4 different holes where you can raise them if you aren't making contact with the ground after removing all the cylinder donuts. If you raise gauge wheels you usually have to go back and add some donuts. The reason this is different than normal is you didn't run a disk or anything to fluff up the ground, but that drill is built for planting in unprepped ground.
Don't increase stress by setting
unrealistic goals. You'll wind up off work for a month of recuperation, doctors orders.
Well I've thrived off of pushing the envelope in life and have accomplished much that I might not have otherwise. But yes, it comes with plenty of failures, or 'learning experiences' along the way! But I got them all in the ground and we got lots of rain on them! Stay tuned we'll see what happens! PT 2 coming out today! Thank you
the beans you planted will make runner's kind of like peas do .i plant milo with my beans an the will climb the milo stalks the will get pritty long stalks .they are definite not like regular soybeans beans .the deer love them .they will grow back from deer presser browsing.they are not round up ready bean either .
when i plant them i mix in black sunflower an milo .seems to work out good for me been planting Laredo bean for several years now im at piedmont mo
Good info. I doubled checked with them that they are roundup ready and they said they sure are. I did a search and said that there are laredo's that do come as roundup ready. So I sure hope they are! Thanks, fingers crossed
Well not being bossy but drill beans you want to see a few on top !
Well I think it is going to work! We'll see in a few weeks! Pt 2 coming out today! Didn't go as well as pt 1 lol
@@KapperOutdoors2.0 wishing you the best on your new journey on the farm
Are you sure they didn’t give you black beans?
lol they sure looked suspicious!!
I was born and raised in Missouri and still live here. Love it but i never seen soybeans like that at all. We will see how they turn out.
Yes no doubt! Pt 2 is coming out today shortly. I am pretty hopeful that they will turn out! Thanks
I was drilling soybeans when I was 13 years old and they were all yellow and round. That was 49 years ago. I guess a lot has changed.
Well I never seem em like this before! But they are supposed to be great forage food plot beans! We'll see what happens! Thanks
Well done sir !
Well only half way there! PT 2 comes out today! And with some challenges! But fingers crossed!
Tractor running ok now? Or is videos out of order?
Pt 2 comes out today. That was when It totally quit on me. They are out of order because we did a near live July 4th weekend update.
Laredo are not round up ready
Well I called them back to double check and they said they were!! I sure hope they are!
Just did a search and they say that yes some laredo's come in roundup ready form.
Hay rake would've helped
probably so!
Definitely not RR beans
I don't know they said they are ! I checked twice! Here is a search for Laredo beans:
Yes, some varieties of forage soybeans, including Laredo soybeans, are available as Roundup Ready®
