Wow that is a lot of acres to plant per day that’s 1,571 acres per day that’s amazing and huge farm
It is a neat farm to visit each year.
Hi Jason, it's great that Billy and Mat give you there time to pass it onto us. Would you thank them 👍
Yes thank you Billy and Matt!!!!!
I love this channel. Thanks for all your hard work making the videos, and thanks to the farmers.
Thank you for watching. It is fun to film these machines.
Way back in my young days Grand Dad and Dad used a 1939 Oliver 70 pushing a 4 row planter. Tillage was done with a 1949 Oliver 88. Before '49 they used the '39 70 and a '37 Oliver 70.
Absolutely awsome video. Brilliant that Matt could talk on his own and you giving more of the whole picture. Some really great tractors you have aswell. Keep it up.
Thanks Matt and the crew👋😊👍 Thanks big tractor for all the great videos 👌
I admire the men and women who grow our food they never get enough thanks for their efforts much like our military and first responders.........
👍👍
YES, you highlighted your tractors in this video working Sweet.
It was fun to get them out in the field. Glad you got to catch the live stream.
@@bigtractorpower only part of it cell service sucks here for livestream watching.
Jason, it's really great to see and ride with Matt & Billy at Garnett farms. Good to see also the planters he was setting up working good as well. Looked like a lot of fun. Good to see your tractors made a guest appearance too!!😊 Thanks for sharing BTP!!👍👍
I follow your photos and videos since many years,actually since the good old farmphoto days,where you also caught my attention with pictures of this operation,those guys are just professionals in every aspect.
Thank you Hans. Farmphoto goes way back. I enjoyed that website. It is exciting to be able to bring the machines and people that operate them through RUclips.
Moćna poljoprivreda je budućnost svijeta, Bravo,super strojevi.
11,000 acre in 7 days, thats good,keep them coming.
This is a awesome video really really enjoyed it thanks Jason
😁👍
Love to see the vintage iron in the field. Keep up the good work.
It was fun getting the 4786 and 8850 out.
They didn't look like they struggled pulling them harrows.
Very Impressive operation, amazingly organised, thanks for sharing
It’s a neat farm to follow through out the year.
11,000 acres is over 17 square miles. WOW!
Cool to see your tractors out in the field 👍we plant with a john deere 6630 premiun and a monosem planter.
Keep up the great work👍😉
Great video. The new technology and how it is now being integrated across different crops to better assist the farmer is amazing. BTW it is always good to heard from Matt. Keep up the good work!
Great video Jason . And a great people around you too .
That 8850 jd looks good takes me back to my little boy days love driving those
We plant corn with a Deere 1710 6 row pulled by a 4430. Doesn't have all the technology that's on these new planters but it still does a good job
Waiting patiently for the new JD combines I know this farm will have them
Great video good to see Matt again
Before watching all your Kentucky farming videos I thought maybe Canada or Australia had some of the largest farms. But, I've been amazed at how much big farming occurs in Kentucky.
Before I moved Kentucky I had no idea of the scale of farming that took place here. Other places you might not think of with big farms like this are Mississippi, North and South Carolina.
@@bigtractorpower Yes, and you got me educated. I also went to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to read their National Agricultural Statistics Crop Production 2019 Summary January 2020... very interesting.
Impressive, well organized
Thank you for watching.
Loved your 4786 .
It’s always fun getting it out in the field.
Thanks 😊 btp for sharing your videos with us and I just happened to be traveling through western Kentucky last summer and I probably saw the fields on here. Was headed back down to East Texas!!
Very cool. If you were on I-24 you passed by several fields I film in every year.
Awsome video BTP 👍🚜🚜
Thank you for watching.
Always good to see what my aunts neighbors are up to.
👍👍
I like your international 4786 and jd 8850 good to see you farming
Always great to watch
Thank you.
Great video
Thank you for watching.
We use a 2008 Case IH 535 Steiger on Triples with Chem Farm Saddle Tanks and a 2013 John Deere DB90 36r30” decked out with about everything you could possibly want.
Awesome planting team. 😁👍👍
bigtractorpower expensive planting team, about $600,000 for the whole setup.
What a beautiful life ❤️, a hundred acres or less is "farmin" where I'm from 😝, maybe a big ol 200 h.p. tractor on a farm or two , love it to pieces but,,, this type farming & machinery you showcase on here is absolutely incredible 👍 ✌️
Great video thanks ,for sharing
👍👍
Great video as always! Keep up the fantastic work! On my Family’s Farm, we use our Massey Ferguson 7619 Tractor to pull our 8 row 30 inch spacing International Cylico Air 800 Planter to plant corn
I bet you had a blast driving your tractors in the field
This machine can do it all
12 row maxemerge2 with a 4430 pulling Back in the 80s and 90s when we farmed.
With that amount of corn acreage, and a group of grain bins with a capacity of 4 million bushels, to me, likely the owner -operator has a seat on the Chicago Board of Trade. Futures hedging certainly is necessary when you are growing corn on a scale like this. Working futures markets is a science in itself. Great machinery and thanks for showing. P.S. Sorry for responding so late.
This farm is owned by a large family with three generations working on it. Very nice people who enjoy farming.
@@bigtractorpower Well, thats good to know. Its nice to hear that.
Work hard great work
Thank you for watching.
Good video. Watched it twice.
Thank you. 😁👍. There are other videos in this series. Disking 11,000 acres and Subsoiling 11,000 acres.
Pretty impressive operation 👍
I use a JD 730 on a JD 7000 6 row planter converted to a 2 row on my 1/4 acre sweet corn plot 🙂
Last time I planted corn , I used a Bmodel John Deere tractor, planting 2 rowes at a time . Man that was back in 1957 ,quite a few back . Most of the big farmers used 4 row equipment. They didn't have the knowledge that they have today .
This is very impressive and interesting, thanks!
Thank you for watching.
It's amazing that after literally decades of killing weeds on the fields, that there are any left ? Thumbs up !
august. must be the chemicals aren.’t that destructive as Some like to believe
Awesome TY for sharing
Btp come to northwestern Illinois in a town called Milledgeville. There is plenty of action during spring and fall. A lot of quad tracks, 9rx’s, 8r’s and case 300 series
Sounds like a great farming area.
Great content 👍👍👌👏
You have a couple of nice old tractors. The 8850 was my favorite for years. Why doesn't the farm use DB 90 or DB120 corn planting? it would make sense with that many acres to get the job done.
I love how the rock crew matches
Great video! Do you think they'll every go to more of a no-till or reduced till system? They make a lot of passes. Here in MD we would never even think about tillage on soybean stubble and we still get every bit as many bushels as you do there and they are the same rotations.
This is a min till system. The surface of the field looks like no till at planting time. They subsoil because the soybeans are double dropped after wheat. There is allot of traffic on the field between wheat harvest in June and soybean harvest in October. The soybeans are notilled right behind the combines into the wheat straw.
Excellent video! What is in the small white tank in front of the right saddle tank? Oh, by the way, we use a 1965 International 4 row planter behind a New Holland 6610
Good question. Water for washing your hands after a fertilizer and seed refill.
Is there going to be any footage from this farm for 2021 plant season? With your friend Matt... correct?
Awesome video BTP thank you!
Their one field is the same size as our entire operation lol. I can’t even imagine
I agree with you, my farming days ended over 50 years ago so I can’t imagine operating equipment that large and sophisticated.
The pro box directly into the CCS bin, goodness.
It speeds up refills.
Its amazing how much ground these guys farm. Great video once again!
Farming sure is an interesting occupation
With farming you never know what the next day is gonna bring lol
Awesome video 🇺🇸👍👍
That international ♥️♥️
V8 👍👍
Like watching the garnett farm videos
😁👍. I just filmed new 9RX620s and a Fendt 1162 at their farm yesterday.
I plant mine with a L2501 and a one row Covington planter! lol
😁👍👍
beautiful work! :) greetings
On our farm we use a John Deere 8235r and a Kinze 16 row planter
Very nice.
How many tractors do they have?
John Deere 2955 and John Deere 1750 xp 6 row for corn and 4430 and 3500 kinze 8/16 for beans
Awesome Video Buddy!! Buddy i Hope you Have John Deere in the Mais on 2020!! Many Greetings Sebi!!
1. Start with fresh corn seeds for the best results.
2. Directly sow seeds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart.
3. Cover with soil, space your rows of seeds 30 to 36
inches apart.
4. Water your block of corn well after planting.
5. Corn stalks are sturdy and should not need staking.
We have a CIH 420 quad trak with narrow tracks pulling a Kinze 4900 24 row 30 inch planter. Seems like overkill with the tractor until we get on a few fields with wicked hills, then it has it's hands full.
I'm surprised that they didn't stick with Kinze and go to the 4905 planters. From what I could see looked like they were planting around 6mph where the Kinze 4905 can plant at 12 mph seems like that would be a huge advantage on an operation of that size.
Parent of Twins planting speed is all about how the planter is set up, not the brand of planter.
Your should convince Matt to start his own RUclips channel.
He has an account but he’s too busy to run a full page.
Those planters hold more corn than some combines. Technological progress is astounding. But, your IH will always stay a favorite tractor for me! :) At 20:10, what is that awkward berm about? I suspect it's blocking water or protecting access to a draintile line?
Will they go back and plant those too wet areas in the field? Guessing it would have to be in a day or so if they did.
Yes we waited a few days for them to dry and then went back and filled them in
I think a farmer can pick up stones until the end of time. I know I picked up my share of them. What amazes me, some farmers will run over the same stones year after year,
Stones are a constant battle.
great video great sound of them machines and good to get a bit of history about size of farm and where it is , IS IT private owned or a big company
any chance mat will be running a x91100 this year in corn and beans,this would be the perfict farm to do it on.love the old iron jason.
nice videos
Thank you for watching.
@@bigtractorpower you are welkome, like to see the tecnology grouw
What part of Kentucky is this like the big city or town ?
Western Kentucky on Tennessee boarder about an hour from Nashville.
What maturity range corn do they plant there?
Great video Jason. The opening picture of the very modern tractor and corn planter with the huge grain facility in the far background in contrast to the small grain bins and old barns, one with a lean-to and a corn picker in it was very much a reminder of days gone by and where we are today. I guess that's why your channel has always appealed to me! The new next to the old. It was great that your tractors got a work out--and you recorded it! That had to be a blast! Let me end with what might be a weak question. Are the tractors pulling the corn planters the same ones that did the ripping and the nitrogen app? I ask because the ripper tractors had triples (a cool look btw) and the planter tractors had duals with wheel weights. So I was wondering are these the same tractors only with the triple removed, or are they just the same make and model of tractors? I mean I can't imagine a farm carrying several sets of 9420's for various applications. I know that may sound lame to some of your eagle-eyed viewers, but I don't know these tractors like so many of you do.
They have the 9420r 's with duels for planting and pulling grain carts and several 9620r's with triples for the heavier tillage type work. Such a huge investment in iron, but they are covering 22,000 acres; half of it double cropped!
Curious. Why 11,000 Acres for just Corn? I say Diversify! >>A bit of Corn, Peppers, Taters, Soybeans, etc! & It might be good to set aside 1/4 of that land to lay Fallow to rebuild it's nutrients. Also, this relieves all the over use of Underground Aquifer fresh Water! & On that land laying fallow, the critters come back for local folks to do some decent hunting! It's a thought!
Great video, I have learnt a lot about the farming methods undertaken in the US. I have noticed that when traveling down the roads they have the hazards lights on, is this law?
Not necessarily a law but most farmers use them just as a safety measure. The only thing that is required is a SMV (slow moving vehicle) sign. That is for implement that travels under 30 miles per hour. Its the little orange triangle thing on the back of most implements
@@cadencarlson3095 Thank you that has helped understand as we don't use them here in the UK, we just use the flashing beacon normally and lights and an escort vehicle if wider than 3.5 metres
Don't they run high speed planters?
With how many tractors.?..11000 acre
Would using a seed tender be faster than totes? Just wondering y use totes
Just opening the tote and emptying into the planter is fast. It takes about 1:30 seconds. A seed tender is nice but it’s an extra expense and you have to maneuver it into place and it takes about 8 minutes to fill the planter. The two totes take 3:00 minutes.
We use a John deere 8310r with a 24 row db60
Non farmers do not realize the gianantic loan needed to purchase all the seed, chemicals, fuel and labor to plant and harvest this crop. It all big numbers on both ends of the season.
I wonder if these far is use cow manure as starter fertilizer?
Cow manure builds organic mater in the soil and is a fertilizer but it can not be placed precisely enough to be starter fertilizer. I have seen liquid manure used to side dressing growing corn.
Does Billy and his family tend Tobacco also and if so how many acres? Thanks again for sharing BTP and Matt!
We plant with a 8270r and db60 47r15in and 8270r with 1795
Will you be streaming for the whole 7 days?
The video highlights all the days.
I bleed green but damn if that blackstripe beauty don't take me back.
Great job.
If you have already i havent seen it but you should do a video on your personal tractors
Wow 11000 acers. Dang
That's just corn they have another 11,000 they plant into wheat then plant soybeans after the wheat crop is harvest.
new holland t9.530 with a Great Plains PL5800 40 ft 31 rows
Parabéns 👏👏👏👍👍💪💪🚜🚜🚜🚜🇧🇷
Thank you for watching.
Where is the john deere track machine that the boss was operating last season?
Billy typically runs an MT875E for seeding wheat and soybeans. The farm has a 9620RX for seeding. Both also apply NH3 and subsoil.
