Thank you from a small farmer in Michigan. Some of the young RUclips farmers don’t seem to have a clue as to what it really takes to run a farm and how expensive things cost. They just follow their parents and grandparents around and think they know it all. If they really knew how hard earlier generations had to work to make the farm a successful operation then they wouldn’t say some of stupid things they do. Now there’s some young people who get it which’s I do enjoy watching.
Great vid Andy. My cousin was a Michigan Farmer and I used to hunt the land. Your videos remind me a lot of those days. You truly are a patriotic American Farmer who happens to do great videos on RUclips. Which, I for one, am grateful for as well as your thoughts on the problems going on in our world. I couldn't agree more with what you say! Btw, thanks for being a farmer!
Yep this is why we are subscribed. Learned a lot about corn today. My wife and I planted 50 sweet corn plants in early June here in Georgia. It’s all looking good and like we say it is live and learn. Next year we are probably going to do 250 or so just for eating, but many thanks for your inspiration!
I am a non farmer from long island, i find farming very interesting so i started watching a bunch of farming or so called farming on RUclips, after a few months i finally found your channel, you're the only farmer that is pround to be American and keeps it real unfortunately it seems like that is a dying breed now so i just wanted to say thank you for your context, keeping it real and doing RUclips for the right reasons
If it wasn't for the revenue and free equipment demos, I would had to quit being a regular farmer. Now I am a new modern age youtube farmer. Sure don't know how agriculture ever survived before youtube.
Btw,..I think you would like the opinion of Retired air force farmer Mark Baker&how the state of mich destroyed his farm and what he does now Known him for over 9 years now☺️It would be awesome if You wised him up about the huge farm&US food supply Love both your chans👍💖
Another great video !! Here in mid mich we're losing several hundred acres of good farm land to solar farm this year. along with about another 100 wind turbines. Green energy lovers will go hungry from the lack of food. One of the last turbines erected a couple of years ago hasn't worked in 2 years and the giant cranes are coming to take it down. More crop acres lost due to equipment damage. Wind turbines and solar farms can go to HELL.
I know exactly what your saying and you are so right. Seems like the ones with the morst viewers can baffle them with bullshit. I swear most of their viewers are non farmers who tune in to their soap opera. Plus the whole family starts a channel with more bullshit. Thank you for keeping it real
Another great video, Grumpy. I can remember as a kid my Dad taking me with him to check out the corn and after first cut checking on how the second cut (rowen) was coming in. As I got older that was my job to go look and report back. My father and I still put up hay and I still go check up on things. Thank you for helping me blow the dust off that old memory.
Grumpy, Thank you to you and your family for all you do…! Thanks for taking the time to share with us non farmers the details of the business of farming… from Western Ohio, keep up the hard work, we appreciate and enjoy every meal we set down to..! God Bless you and your family..!
Looking ALOT better up that way than down here in the southern tier, we keep missing the rains that are drenching the neighbors but the velvetleaf and kudzu is doing well so far
Personally? I don’t watch any other farmers on you tube. I like watching the farmer that says it just exactly like it is. You remind me of my dad, and I like that too. Have a good day, and keep on farming and feeding us!!
Much respect for you Andy, you are as real as they come. Do these other ass-hat farmer "influencers" on RUclips not realize you make nothing off your content?
Another reason for us to enjoy listening to another of your most interesting videos. I do have one of those weed hooks hanging up high in the hay mow along with the grain cyth ( can’t spell it you know what I’m talking about ) if you need one. I’m sure you know how to use it. Really enjoy your down to earth to tell the way it is. 😊👍✅
What a blessing to come out your front door and see your crops looking so good. Those beans at the place where you got out of the truck the first time, I think over at the boot of Italy field, man they looked lush and healthy. Imagine all the deer you’d see in there at night with a spotlight. Great video! Y’all have a great week!!! 🍺🇺🇸
You are most definitely a farmer who voices, their opinions, and experiences on RUclips. Not most definitely not a RUclips farmer! Farmers are stewards of the land as you know, and stated, keep up the great work, and keep it coming. I hear you on the rain, here in Southwest Minnesota. We really need some!
Another great video I enjoy your videos very much. I like to hear from farmers in another region of USA I think you do a great job . Keep up the good work 👍👍😃
Let’s all be grumpy. Keep on grump-n. Grump you. Just watch another one of your great videos these sayings came to mind. Think i like grump you the most 😊
I'm in South Central Louisiana and we normally plant a group 5 or 6 we try to plant anywhere from May 1 to the first week in June, they normally get cut Mid October, we have planted group 4s before and if the weather is just right they do OK but what usually happens is they mature mid to late August and it's so hot and humid here if it's a wet August they rot or damage so bad the elevator won't buy them, like today it hit 102 at 2 O'clock it's just to hot down here for a real early bean we have to go full season, now the corn is usually a 110/115-118 there are some years we can plant the last days of February but most gets planted mid March and it's being harvested right now it the next week it will be all done
Yes they are! We haven’t had to spray for them for at least eight or nine years now I’m hoping it stays. That way we will get some, but the threshold won’t be enough to justify spending the money on spraying
I know nust who u are referring to.. sends more time being a movie star than taking care of his own shit. Alot of shit broke and when he goes to use it wants everyone to feel sorry for him... keep it real dude!
I am a RUclips Farmer and according to me you doing dam good, my father farms for 40 years and me with him from 5 years old to end of school, plough my first field with a Landini R8000S tractor and 4 bottom plow, then we switched to Ford 3000's and 5000's and pulling a pull type Claas combine. Much respect for you guys👍👍
I casted your channel on my TV. WOW , I learned a lot about the pollination of corn. Thank you and your family for all your hard work. God bless you and your family Sir, oh and FJB and MAGA2024. 😉👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Problem is when being a RUclips Farmer is a More Profitable Business to some of these people than being a Actual Farmer who Post some Videos on RUclips here and there. Too many of these Guys and a Girl have lost there way with this whole RUclips Farmer thing. It’s a lot different when it is a TRUE First Generation Guy that is trying to make his way Farming and maybe a RUclips Video could show his Journey and help add a Few Bucks here & there to justify his time, We can All get behind that and support that.
Crops looking grumpy! We've been blessed here so far and crops looking good as well. I hope it keeps on for all of us so we all have a decent crop. Prices are dropping lately but maybe they get better. I try to think positive anyways. Lol. Take care bud.
Yeah man. I really did not want to get into posting videos... but as a small livestock operation I had to start posting some videos to let people see some reality. Understanding why we do what we do and what it takes to send some protein out.
You know, I agree with you 100%. I am not sure which farmer it was, who you're referring to, but I watched one who reacted to this. I do like his channel, but I like your channel too. I appreciate the content of both your channels. We grow neither soybeans nor corn here but we do farm. Although we're small, we are not RUclips farmers. I can tell the difference. I can see how it would irritate you when someone who is clearly a RUclips farmer goes and criticizes you. I do appreciate You Tube creators but agree not all advice is good.
I'm not sure who reacted to it and honestly don't care "I was just making a point so people don't believe everything they see and hear from people without a lot of experience of what they're talking about
Here in south central IL we plant mostly mid group three beans In the last 5 years my yeilds have been from 72 to 83 bph. Just a different part of the U S A.
I live at effingham we need some rain. The doublecrop beans are quite small for the last of july. Rain to fill the ears would be great. Had rain north and south. It is drier west of here. Early beans look good but need a drink also. Could be worse
Raining again. Sooo F'ing sick of it. And we're only what, 30-40 miles, apart. Must be it stops at county line if you're not getting what I do. And I'd like to say that Andy and Barb talking like they do to each other is proof of their ❤ and how good they are/for one another.
I remember when we would occasionally hire city kids do some "work" for us. I say "work" because most of them had no what that word meant. Eventually more types of new machines replaced them all.
When I was in my early teens I put up hay for a large ranch owned by a very wealthy furniture store owner. The ranch foreman hand-picked us because he knew we were tough ass farm kids. The owner decided to replace us with a crew of older city kids. He couldn't find a one of them that could last a day. We all had gotten other haying jobs, so they were in a bind. We agreed to put up his hay on the side for twice the pay. Long hours but we made good money that summer.
@@johnbaskett2309 back when I still had the dairy I used to pay kids between 10 and $15 an hour if they were worth it and I’d pay them every day they worked because that way I knew they’d be back the next day and I never had trouble finding help
Thank you for taking us along on the guided tour! How many acres is that? My hats off to you and all farmers. That is alot of work. I have never understood how you can make a living farming, I do appreciate all the farmers for feeding us!
Always looking to learn about things thanks for the bean info. I work on a dairy so we're only growing corn for silage and grass and more of a cow guy. I think there's only a couple guys around here that grow beans, not exactly sure why? Maybe climate here in southern New England?I know one of them has a grain business he grows lots of his own stuff and makes grain to sell.
A lot of cattle feeds contain various soy ingredients. that may be why they grow instead of buy there, have you seen the price of buying any commodities lately
Jim I can tell you 15 or 20 years ago when I still had the cows because I got rid of them in 2011 I mowed about 50 acres of beans and chopped it for feed around the middle of August. Put it in a silo with haylage I chopped one load of hay, then went and chop one load of beans, and kept doing that to fill the silo. It was some damn good feed.
@@TheGrumpyFarmer that's what I've heard from guys about beanlege or whatever you call it they say makes some great feed. Where I live for whatever reason beans just aren't grown been that way since I was a kid. Everyone grew corn both for silage and picking. Only recently I've seen a few guys growing beans. Ct river valley land around where I am always grew veggies and it was most famous for shade and broadleaf tobacco. Some of the finest cigars in the world use ct grown tobacco for wrappers, atleast they used to not many farms around here anymore lots of development took over.
I agree with the title. Definitely wetter down here. Finally got a small dry stretch but the temps drop so it still probably won't dry LOL Crops are looking good Andy!
Andy your a better farmer than I.My corn does not look 1/2 as good as yours ?We have had to much rain .My hay was/is great And the neighbors soybean looks great ,like yours.Hope you and the wife have a good week.
@@TheGrumpyFarmer you should test it out sometime. Might make you have everything sprayed with fungicides in tbe future . We leave test plots unsprayed with fungicides in a couple fields. You would not believe the difference in how the crop looks and yields. And your crops are looking like they have a very good yield potential. You wouldn’t know it was so dry they filled in really nice.
Speaking of corn… I remember running through the fields playin hide n seek. I would have paper cut like cuts on my face! It was from the leaves. ah the memories! ✌🇺🇸 Winin🏁
While I enjoy the content of the youtubers, it's NOT free content. I PAY with my time and with the agony of watching the google ads AND their "sponsored" ads. Recently, 2 youtubers ADMITTED they're not a cattle farmer or a firewood provider, but "RUclipsrs" that make most, if not ALL of their revenues from youtube and NOT what they're portraying to be. One blatantly posts a thumbnail title, then posts 20 minutes of BS video '"content" several google ads and a "sponsored" ad, then finally gets to the subject. I blocked ALL future videos from that scammer. I love your REAL content! LGB FJB.
Howdy Andy, watched your video this morning and totally agree with your opinions. Then I tried to comment but I’m guessing ScrewTube didn’t appreciate your statements, because they had comments turned off!!! Knowing you, I knew that you wanted to hear from us producers and of course get a laugh from the hand full of “know it alls”. I’d gladly take a person around our operations and explain how quality Black angus & Polled Hereford beef is produced. And what is involved in producing all the feed to keep this operation hopefully profitable. Guess there’s two 2 reasons for the deer stand!!!! 😂😂 Take care Andy and just laugh at the few uneducated “influencers”.
Exactly Dudley you’ll like next weeks video then or I should say the next one if I decide to put it out before next Monday, someone really pissed me off with the whole GMO thing
I agree with you on most of it but when the neighbors are counting over 30 deer in a 70 acre field at one time, grazing that’s a problem. But like you said everyone farms different in different areas of the country.
Maybe your neighbors can’t count that good 🤦♂️🤣 and honestly I don’t think that’s that bad that’s over 2 acres per deer deer don’t eat as much as people think but they see it and they think that so then it becomes a big problem in there mind
Bear are much more destructive than a herd of deer ever thought of being, they trampled and layed over acres at a time last year. They are attracted to giant marshmallows too for some reason. Gonna make some bear skin rugs this year
YT screwing around? I read comments earlier and tried commenting and they were turned off. I think the saying knee high by the 4th of July had meaning back when open pollinated corn was being planted and waiting til mid May after frost theats and memorial day to plant was the norm.
They’ve been turning the comments off all day and then we turn them back on and then they turn them off and then we turn them back on. It’s getting ridiculous.
It nice if non farmers learn what it takes to farm and when you can lay on the couch and watch a ballgame nothing wrong with that cause when it’s busy time on the farm it’s long hours and hard work and yes farmers worry about the weather their life depends on it your crops look pretty damn good hope all is well with you and your family hope you get great yields from your crops
Crops look good. You get rain.. cutting silage here on dry land! Irrigated is doin ok I guess. Too much 100 plus temps. With wind!!! Hope this shit changes....
Funny how that youtube farmer also is hardly at his farm or has equiptment to farm 🤷♂️. Sure wish I could play farmer . Unfortunately they don't run themselves
I figured out a non-farmers will be starting to talk about the frost pretty soon because they’ll be all worried about that you’ll be going to the cornfield hoping the price down here at
Crops look good...... That gator is nice, but it's no electric bike buddy🤣 I guess guys like us that started out farming before go fund me can get a little sour about the new generation of so called farmers telling everyone how smart they are....... I know several of us milked before we went to a job in town.... It was the only way to put food on the table..... With that being said...... We still didn't do the work that our fathers did to get started. These are different times for sure. Catch ya in the next one.
I swear to God, RUclips keeps turning the comments off we turned them on. They turned them off. We turned them on, and then my reply to people keeps disappearing so this will be I think the third time I’ve replied to you. I wonder if you’ll actually get it
You mentioned head lands what is it ? I thought bean comes out of a can !!! Hey you should grow solar panels no spraying ,no equipment to fail not sure how good they are to eat . Little hard on digestion
Your neither a youtube farmer or a farmer on youtube, your an American Farmer on RUclips. 👍
👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Grumpy is an honest farmer with a healthy dose of no BS.
@@jamestboehm6450 pretty healthy for sure I hate the bull💩
Yeah👍💖
Then there are the YT farmers that always have a perfect manicure and full makeup when the camera catches them in a tractor or combine???🤣
🙄🤣🤣🤣
You don’t have to explain yourself, your friends don’t care and your enemies aren’t going to believe you anyways.
So true 🤦♂️
Never to old to learn. Hell I’m 76 and never knew that’s how corn was pollinated.👍
Yup we always can learn something
Thank you from a small farmer in Michigan. Some of the young RUclips farmers don’t seem to have a clue as to what it really takes to run a farm and how expensive things cost. They just follow their parents and grandparents around and think they know it all. If they really knew how hard earlier generations had to work to make the farm a successful operation then they wouldn’t say some of stupid things they do. Now there’s some young people who get it which’s I do enjoy watching.
Agreed 👍🏻
I like how you call a pickup a pickup............most people call a pickup a truck
Just always have 🤷♂️
I always have called it a pickup too

@@johnbaskett2309 back when I still had the dairy I used to pay kids between 10 and $15 an hour if they were worth it and I’d pay them every day they worked because that way I knew they’d be back the next day and I never had trouble finding help
Top pay for bucking bales was $1.25 back then. Mid 60's.
All your crops looking good regardless of what they think. Should make for a great harvests. Have a great week.
I’m hoping so 👍🏻
Crops are looking good Grumpy
Pretty good so far Bean
G’job Grumpster and employee 😂even when you own your business, you are still an employee…a self employed employee…lol. Keep em comin 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
Yup, employer and employee
One more thing.....Can you imagine if the weather person got paid only for days they were correct on the weather report they gave🤔 just imagine!
They’d be poor 😂
Grumpy farmer your crop looks excellent to me great job
Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you for taking us along on the guided tour! How many acres is that? My hats off to you and all farmers. That is alot of work. I have never understood how you can make a living farming, I do appreciate all the farmers for feeding us!
👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Always looking to learn about things thanks for the bean info. I work on a dairy so we're only growing corn for silage and grass and more of a cow guy. I think there's only a couple guys around here that grow beans, not exactly sure why? Maybe climate here in southern New England?I know one of them has a grain business he grows lots of his own stuff and makes grain to sell.
A lot of cattle feeds contain various soy ingredients. that may be why they grow instead of buy there, have you seen the price of buying any commodities lately
Jim I can tell you 15 or 20 years ago when I still had the cows because I got rid of them in 2011 I mowed about 50 acres of beans and chopped it for feed around the middle of August. Put it in a silo with haylage I chopped one load of hay, then went and chop one load of beans, and kept doing that to fill the silo. It was some damn good feed.
@@TheGrumpyFarmer that's what I've heard from guys about beanlege or whatever you call it they say makes some great feed. Where I live for whatever reason beans just aren't grown been that way since I was a kid. Everyone grew corn both for silage and picking. Only recently I've seen a few guys growing beans. Ct river valley land around where I am always grew veggies and it was most famous for shade and broadleaf tobacco. Some of the finest cigars in the world use ct grown tobacco for wrappers, atleast they used to not many farms around here anymore lots of development took over.
I agree with the title. Definitely wetter down here. Finally got a small dry stretch but the temps drop so it still probably won't dry LOL Crops are looking good Andy!
We are cooler for the next two or three days here Chris then we get back into the low to mid 80s
How many RUclips farmers could survive without RUclips revenue.
Good question Stan
Andy your a better farmer than I.My corn does not look 1/2 as good as yours ?We have had to much rain .My hay was/is great And the neighbors soybean looks great ,like yours.Hope you and the wife have a good week.
Sorry to hear that maybe your corn will surprise you
Crops are looking nice.
Thanks Evan
@@TheGrumpyFarmer do you spray fungicide on your beans and corn? It’s looking like it has high yield potential.
@@EvanC8 no I don’t
@@TheGrumpyFarmer you should test it out sometime. Might make you have everything sprayed with fungicides in tbe future . We leave test plots unsprayed with fungicides in a couple fields. You would not believe the difference in how the crop looks and yields. And your crops are looking like they have a very good yield potential. You wouldn’t know it was so dry they filled in really nice.
@@EvanC8 yeah the weather has been crazy up and down
Thanks for another video 👍
Thanks for watching Tony
Thank you for your videos
Glad you like them!
Crops look great Andy 👍
Thanks 👍 Artie
There are thousands of farmers who would love to have a wife like Barb.
Well start the bid 😂 don’t tell her I said that 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
I enjoy watching you and Farmer Tyler Ranch
Thanks
Speaking of corn… I remember running through the fields playin hide n seek. I would have paper cut like cuts on my face! It was from the leaves. ah the memories! ✌🇺🇸 Winin🏁
Yup and itch like hell 😂
If I heard correctly, what does volunteer corn mean ? Thank you, Grumpy, and God bless .👍🇺🇸
It means corn in a bean field that you don’t want there
thanks Grumpy, its better to be pissed off than to be pissed on..
Always 🤦♂️🤣
While I enjoy the content of the youtubers, it's NOT free content. I PAY with my time and with the agony of watching the google ads AND their "sponsored" ads. Recently, 2 youtubers ADMITTED they're not a cattle farmer or a firewood provider, but "RUclipsrs" that make most, if not ALL of their revenues from youtube and NOT what they're portraying to be. One blatantly posts a thumbnail title, then posts 20 minutes of BS video '"content" several google ads and a "sponsored" ad, then finally gets to the subject. I blocked ALL future videos from that scammer. I love your REAL content! LGB FJB.
Thanks Annie
Hey there Andy nice crops watch all your videos! I live in edmonton alberta .
Thanks James
Thank you for showing us nonfarmers how you do it sir. It is nice to see how it is done.
Paul 👍🏻
Don't let Bill get to you. He makes you grumpy!
I’m always grumpy Steve 😂
Howdy Andy, watched your video this morning and totally agree with your opinions. Then I tried to comment but I’m guessing ScrewTube didn’t appreciate your statements, because they had comments turned off!!!
Knowing you, I knew that you wanted to hear from us producers and of course get a laugh from the hand full of “know it alls”.
I’d gladly take a person around our operations and explain how quality Black angus & Polled Hereford beef is produced. And what is involved in producing all the feed to keep this operation hopefully profitable.
Guess there’s two 2 reasons for the deer stand!!!! 😂😂
Take care Andy and just laugh at the few uneducated “influencers”.
Exactly Dudley you’ll like next weeks video then or I should say the next one if I decide to put it out before next Monday, someone really pissed me off with the whole GMO thing
Us farmers punch a clock with mother nature! From gary
Ain’t that the truth Gary
I agree with you on most of it but when the neighbors are counting over 30 deer in a 70 acre field at one time, grazing that’s a problem. But like you said everyone farms different in different areas of the country.
Maybe your neighbors can’t count that good 🤦♂️🤣 and honestly I don’t think that’s that bad that’s over 2 acres per deer deer don’t eat as much as people think but they see it and they think that so then it becomes a big problem in there mind
Bear are much more destructive than a herd of deer ever thought of being, they trampled and layed over acres at a time last year. They are attracted to giant marshmallows too for some reason. Gonna make some bear skin rugs this year
Will the late emerging soybeans due to dry weather be ready to harvest with the rest of the plants? Good video.
Yes it will they just might not dry down as much
YT screwing around? I read comments earlier and tried commenting and they were turned off.
I think the saying knee high by the 4th of July had meaning back when open pollinated corn was being planted and waiting til mid May after frost theats and memorial day to plant was the norm.
I put a comment on and it's gone now.
They’ve been turning the comments off all day and then we turn them back on and then they turn them off and then we turn them back on. It’s getting ridiculous.
Your crops look good from my house, Andy! 😆
So far so good Tim 👍🏻
I'm a farmer from SE ND and I like learning how farms work in different parts of the U.S. Also agree with your political views !
Yup 👍🏻 thanks and I’m the same I like learning about different ways of doing things
Your right it is the land but you are Knott lazy , hard working farmer , fairplay to you 👍 and your brother and wife bless them 👍👍
Thanks Bryan
I consider myself a crop farmer I don't always make RUclips videos but I still consider myself a RUclipsr because there's other content that I make.
👍🏻🇺🇸
It nice if non farmers learn what it takes to farm and when you can lay on the couch and watch a ballgame nothing wrong with that cause when it’s busy time on the farm it’s long hours and hard work and yes farmers worry about the weather their life depends on it your crops look pretty damn good hope all is well with you and your family hope you get great yields from your crops
Thanks Karl
I like people that tell it like it is keep videos coming say hello to Jimmy I live in Crawford county in CORRUPT PA.
James 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Crops look good. You get rain.. cutting silage here on dry land! Irrigated is doin ok I guess. Too much 100 plus temps. With wind!!! Hope this shit changes....
We got 1 inch yesterday and then a tiny bit this morning with a freak little storm that popped up
@@TheGrumpyFarmer i hear that!!! that sure helps for sure!!!
Thanks ! now I know what head land is
👍🏻👍🏻
Grumpanomics ,,that's what keeps the world turnin..
Better than Bidenomics 😂
Funny how that youtube farmer also is hardly at his farm or has equiptment to farm 🤷♂️. Sure wish I could play farmer . Unfortunately they don't run themselves
Exactly
a good farmer has to be a good steward of the land
Exactly 👍🏻💯
Thank you Farmer with a capital F!!! Hang in there, Grumpy
Thanks 👍🏻
Hahahah Planted our garden late and our corn is just getting 2 ft tall
Hope it makes it
Look it up your self.. Florida Joe Brother
.
Some people just need to do some things for themselves, Florida Joe 🤦♂️🤣
I figured out a non-farmers will be starting to talk about the frost pretty soon because they’ll be all worried about that you’ll be going to the cornfield hoping the price down here at
Always find something to talk about
Crops look good...... That gator is nice, but it's no electric bike buddy🤣 I guess guys like us that started out farming before go fund me can get a little sour about the new generation of so called farmers telling everyone how smart they are....... I know several of us milked before we went to a job in town.... It was the only way to put food on the table..... With that being said...... We still didn't do the work that our fathers did to get started. These are different times for sure. Catch ya in the next one.
I swear to God, RUclips keeps turning the comments off we turned them on. They turned them off. We turned them on, and then my reply to people keeps disappearing so this will be I think the third time I’ve replied to you. I wonder if you’ll actually get it
@@TheGrumpyFarmer yep..... Just got the notification....... That sounds about right, big tech don't sensor🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mentioned head lands what is it ? I thought bean comes out of a can !!! Hey you should grow solar panels no spraying ,no equipment to fail not sure how good they are to eat . Little hard on digestion
The headlands is what you plant all around the field before you start going back-and-forth so you have an area to be able to turn around on
Non farmer here
Love the videos
Thanks Dixie 😉
