Harvesting Sorghum after 35 Days of Growth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- It's been 35 days since I planted this field of Sorghum. With the hot weather we've had and irrigating several inches of water over the field, this crop has grown fast!
Kevin has decided to harvest this cutting instead of irrigating it once again. That way we will get 2 cuttings off this piece.
Thanks for joining us!

Another great video Rhonda . I don’t want to tell anyone what to do but I’ve been a mechanic at a Deere dealer for 41 years and it sounded like the engine was still running on the discbine while Kevin was cleaning the mud off the cutter head . Don’t ever trust the electric or hydraulics on a running machine .
It's definitely something we need to work on. It's just so easy to jump out and see what the problem is before even thinking about shutting the equipment off. Thanks for the reminder. 😊
Yeah, I get in hurry sometimes also and don’t always shut my tractor off (I obviously shut my PTO off) when I work on my mower. After I finish, I’m always like, I should’ve turned my tractor off.
You must try to make sorghum beer.
Its low alcohol but very nutritional.
Also we used to have maltabella.(brand name)
In south Africa where it's the porridge.
This is the biggest antidote to Monsanto and gm crops
Just like what Meredith Bernard says, "team work makes the dream work".
She also says Y'all too
I love you family farm videos. Always looking for a new one. Farmers are the heart of America.
Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say!!
I like that u can run the chopper Ronda ur husband is so lucky to have you!!!
Other way around... I'm blessed to have him. 😊
It’s awesome how Kevin is always smiling when your together
I think he likes me. 😏
@@acresofclayhomestead new, I think he loves you Ronda and I dont blame him, you are very lovable
I was noticing that too Keith.
No disrespect, but I would smile, too. You always seem to bring a joyful countenance to the videos! 👍
Those frustrating moments, I am always reminded why I am in constant need of grace!
Good lord!! Even Kevin has a green thumb. That's some quick growth there. Gonna be some happy cows very soon.
Yes, Kevin does have a green thumb for growing things on a larger scale. 😊
Yes,don't want dirt in the feed. Keep the dirt in the field. I totally agree 👍 I think I'm ready to become a famer now.
Awesome!! What type of farming do you want to do?
Enjoy watching the interaction of your wonderful family, and sharing what you do, together, thank you.
Wow! Nice small stem and high leaf volume, great hay at 45#/acre. We target 18 to 22 lb/acre West Texas dry land.
You all are such hard working family who work so good together bless you all
Great job .It's great when you let us go with you on a date in your equipment .🚜👍🚜👍🚜👍🚜👍
Love watching , you all pitch in and work together so well , I wish all of America could come together the way your family does.❤️
I'm glad to see you married a good person are really smart because he definitely married up but thank you for bringing the life of a farmer that has been blessed. I will never afford this kind of equipment. You show good intelligence of the actual crop.
Kevin and Other Farmers have to be Handy since things Break as you know all too well. Thanks!👍
Great family!!
Your crop is so beautiful! If you let it go to seed after the second cutting, you will never have to plant that field again! Every year in the Springtime you will just have sorghum popping up everywhere!
Wow like that grass and ur haybind is great I love watching it
Happy Saturday...! Keep smiling one field at a time ☺😉
Awesome video showing the hard work of farm life I love it thank you.......
It's amazing how much it grew in 35 days
In my experience with disc cutters the sap from the plant mixed with dust or mud would build up in the rock guards, so I would carry a 4 inch scraper and clean them every day or more often. It made a big difference in cut and speed. 👍
Glad to see that I'm not the only that gets a mouthfull of dirt in the haybine. I've been cutting peas and oats the past few weeks and have had to unplug quite a few times.
Kevin had to adjust the head, then we didn't have any more issues.
Have a great day too I watch the video on Sunday the 13th 21 y'all have a blessed day and see you next video👍👍👍✌🙏🤠🐎🐴🐕
I love our american farmers. Real heroes.
So , you moved the....Everest , in your yard!
CoooooL!
A lot of god action today...
Thank you, AoCH !
Scares me every time I see You all working on cutters and augers with the motor still running. Please be safe and take care. God bless you.
We need to remember to be more safe...
Kevin knows his business when it comes to repairs , Rock on , stay safe ! Bob
You guys have sheep too, right , and cattle, love it your name came up some in Meredith and Lawrence’s this farm wife this week , Meredith is maybe a new subscriber, I told her acres of clay was sheep, right, and cow’s, kool thanks y’all BigAl California.
Hmmm. I didn't notice them saying anything about us??
I do watch her channel when I have time. And, no, we don't have sheep anymore. Sold them awhile back. 😔
Acres of Clay Homestead oh ok I thought you guys had sheep , I must’ve missed the vlog of the sale, lolol that’s is possible, I miss some of them , being busy, thanks y’all BigAl California.
I see Kevin is like me. Today is the first day of a clean shirt. Tomorrow it will be inside out. Two days one shirt. Less laundry to do. See how considerate we both are. Keep up the great work family.
Hey Ronda and family!👋 Good Kevin got the air tank to working instead of having to go buy one! Always be safe and blessed! 😆❤👍
What a hard working family. You guys stay safe
That was a good looking stand, looked nice and thick, made good looking silage
Good morning Ronda and family!!
Thank you'll so much for believing in jesus he already starting to pour out his blessings on believers hang in there it's coming just a old hillbilly from arkansas
We grew 50 acres every year and put in harvestor silo sometimes getting 17 % protein for raising our heifers, cut it 4 times per year
Proud of y'all
hey thanks for sharing ...
Really enjoy all your videos. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful day!❤️
re bonjour toujours de belle vidéo merci 👍👍👍👍
Just Like 👍 Larry the Cable Guy. “Git Er Dun”, Ronda. You’re a High Energy Midwest Farm Wife. 👍
Love to watch y'all video, have a great week,,,
family of workers.. nice
Great video!!!
always love a equipment ride along. Sadly I do not wear ball caps, wool or wide brimmed( tilley type) for me.
Wow, did that ever grow fast. I remember my Dad growing it when I was young, made for good feed !!
You looking good with this hat have a Nice sunday
Thank you Rhonda for sharing this with us. We really don't know how much work goes into farming. God Bless from Jackson. MI.
I have one of these hats an was really pleased with the quality real good item 👍👍
A thumbs up here.. Great video.. Thank you
Hello as always it is good to see y’all
Courious how long you 2 been hitched.
You are blessed with those babies
Married for almost 23 years!
"A sea of sorghum".... Think I would invest in a couple new air tanks for the Freightliner. When they get that bad they will continue to have pin hole leaks.
That was pretty much of crop, especially for that short time, good that you got everything working out though:)
we love sorghum :))
Hi from Ireland enjoy your video
Thank you!!
Good work y'all! 🌽
wow Kevin had his T shirt on right side out today!!
lookin good...................................
Oh man I have been there when it comes to patching rusty air tanks. If you’re looking to replace them let me know I have a really good catalog with aftermarket truck parts. I’ve gotten some of those air tanks for under $100 believe it or not. Some of them have the wet tank and the primary air tank all in the same enclosure, those are a little bit more pricey but still cheaper than going to the dealer especially on a truck that you don’t run every single day.
Great video! Subscribed!
Welcome to our channel!!
PRETTY JOB GOOD WORKER GOODLUCK
some times you just have to patch things up and keep moving forward, but I am sure Kevin ordered a new tank to replace that one.
G'day from Australia !
Have a great day today
Good job
Super Video 👍
Hi Ronda if you get sweatshirts in your store we would love to get one from you, love watching your videos! Have a great day!
Good Day Family. Love The Gorgeous Eyes Rhonda. Can’t Stop Staring at them. A Great Family.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
wow great
Glad your crops look good, my brothers Dairy farm having the worst drought ever in central MA.1st cutting down 40% and 2nd cutting down 75%.His notill corn didn't have enough moisture to pop up and was a complete loss.He drilled in some sudan grass instead and hopes to do Baleage later in this season.
Oh wow!! Will he have enough feed to go thru the year? Hopefully they get some rain soon!
Rhonda i know he buy in some corn silage from a custom harvest operation in CT from there 2019 crop.This yr has been the worst he,s ever seen.Small storm cells have either dodged to the North or the south of him.Been a bad yr for him his JD 2555 he,s had over 30 yrs now with 15,000 hrs on it pto clutch pack got weak from trying to power his mixing wagon.He was forced to trade it out and found an equivalent 2755 with only 4,000 hrs on it little more hp.
That's tough, especially since the price of milk has tanked ever since this virus crap.
Ronda, the sweatshirts are a great idea,
Although you would go broke trying to get one that fits me because I am a Big Guy and I usually take a 4 or 5 X size shirt. HA HA HA
You'd have to order from the big and tall section. 😊
@@acresofclayhomestead lol yes I would
Thanks.. Great Video.
Yes following you and Like Your videos 😇🐄🐄😊❤️
Thanks!!
Kevin 👍
love your video
Pullover hoodies or zip up are great.
Luckily the cutting machine didn't develop a lasting issue,that would have set you back . It cuts well and does a awesome job. Almost wish I had one of those to cut 3 acres of standard old field grass . I guess it could cut standard field grass. I am using a John Deere Zero Turn with grass as high as waist, set on highest setting. Temperature in Southern Louisiana 100 degrees (115) heat index. Cut from 5pm until it gets getting dark. 2 - 2 1/2 hours depending how many times I have to stop to clean out mower chute with flap tied in up position. Really could use tractor with bush-hog to speed up the cut. Rhonda,would you please ask Kevin what is a ideal used tractor (hours) to purchase. A base (hour)number to gauge when looking for used tractor. Guess it also depends how tractor was taken care of.
Another great video.
Would like to see pull over sweat shirts, no hoodies. Or perhaps heavy button flannel shirts that can be worn as a jacket. I have many for my company.
Those are great ideas! Do you work with a company that makes the flannels??
Hi Ronda . Another great video Two questions though what's the difference between forage and feed? And did you say the sorghum will regrow after the cutting even with it being that drastic. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend 🇨🇦 Craig . Oh LoL you need to get a large fridge magnet to cover your Phone number on the truck ( which I'm sure is is necessity ) good thing Ethan has long arms lol😀
Question #1 I said forage and seed or grain. Feed is the same thing. 😊#2 Yes, the sorghum does regrow and will continue to grow until it freezes. Thanks for the questions.
Great channel , I love your videos!
Thank you!
if I had to guess that dirt was from a groundhog burrow.
You know you're in the country when there are stop signs on dirt roads. I haven't seen this in Kentucky!
I have had extremely good luck repairing with JB Weld. And then I don't get replaced, so more JB Weld.
awesome Sorghum harvesting ❤️ but i couldn't see Sorghum grains in plants #
to have a almost 6 foot crop after 35 days, wow oh wow. It must need rich ground to grow.
Rich soil, heat, and water makes it grow fast. 😊
Very cute couple❤️👍🇨🇦
Another great job.
What state are you in ? I in Missouri , just love looking and watching your. Show
We are in Michigan. 😊
Nice video
That is some thriving growth of Sorghum, so late in the year.
Do ye spread artificial manure when sowing the seed?
Yes, we did.
God bless ya saludos de mexico
Must'a hit some sort of critter mound.
Hello from down the road in Dorr:))
Hello neighbor!! 😏😉
Saludos esde sinaloa
Good video wondering why you do sorghum is it just a better fit than corn silage/more yield/less risk / less time?
We usually plant sorghum where we do double cropping.
Sorghum and biscuits, mmmmmmm
Wow!!!!
Nice
