Yes we farm with an interstate, US Highway and Rail Road also large drainage ditches and large creeks. Very very square fields. Auto shut offs are the best seance we got away from the 4 & 6 row planters. Now very little wasted seed or chemicals. It payed for itself quickly.
Yea, the dodgy bridge across creek makes an appearance! "It has yet to fall down". Yes! That's the confidence I like to hear when I cross a bridge. But pretty cool bridge... and planting looks good. And like you I find stripping a delight.
I have been strip till for over 20 years, I sure like how smooth the fields get and the auto steer works even better. Looking forward to the results this fall.
I’ve been very impressed by it so far! Our concern is trash buildup. What have you seen with trash buildup or what do you do to minimize it? We are thinking a doing an every other year rotation of conventional tillage
@@6thGenFarmerter 3 yrs of corn on corn it gets pretty heavy. Our neighbor runs a vt in the fall ahead of strip bar to size residue and help nh3 seal. Turns out pretty well. Doesnt run it very deep or aggressive. Combine residue management is a must with bean chafff
@@6thGenFarmer I’m assuming it’s not organic, but adding cover crops helps feed the biology in the soil which will break down the residue. I see as many worms in the furrow as seeds behind the planter. They will help breakdown the residue. It’s a process and takes a couple years to get the soil cycling residue after stopping tillage. I’m happy to help out anyway I can. I’m in north central Iowa if you ever want to take a look at my fields.
We strip till all of our ground. It seems to help things come up better. We even do the bean acres with no anhydrous and it works great. We run a Kuhn Krause
With the soil warriors you also have to freshen but with the Krause you can pull in and plant in the spring. We used to run one of both brands but now we run 2 Krauses
Man I love planting, but I hate the first day of it every year. This year we wanted to start after dinner, I got to the field around 5. Cuz why would a new hydraulic driven fertilizer motor work the way it should. Neat stuff, but it's sucks when the planter thinks it has 2 motor instead of one and we have no idea about that. For us this year was beyond hectic. Only me and my dad and we had like 4 things to do once with 3 tractor between rains. Glad it's finally over. 😅
Gotta say that method looks really cool. What also looks cool is you driving along with water in your ditches. Something we haven’t seen here for awhile. My sister has a friend an hour north of here that is holding off seeding for now as it is so dry he is not sure the input costs are worth the risk. Best of luck this year.
Very interesting to see you just now planting, here in central Texas the corn is over waist high and milo is nearing full height before heads start to emerge. Cotton is just starting but usually gets harvested in September or October. Winter wheat should start having heads in the next couple weeks with a mid to late June harvest time.
You like Stripping!! I was wondering what your side gig was when your not farming.😄😄🤣 I will now remove my mind from the gutter. LOL. Carson, I know that in parts it was cloudy and rainy. however, your color correction in post is a bit too rich or dark IMO. Otherwise very well done enjoyed the drone shots. You should see what it is like in Lancaster county, PA. There the fields are small, hilly, and curvy.
Thanks for the comment! I actually don't do any color correction. It's something that I would like to learn more about however once I have some time to do the research.
Carson, in NC Mo most of the hills are terraced (and definitely not square). There are a few rare square bottoms around. Those are so much nicer to plant
You would think after a 100+ years all the rocks the frost could reach would have been pushed up by now, but it seems to be a never ending supply. ????
There’s a few possible reasons for having 2 planters. 1 is if you’re just big enough that you need a second planter. The other main one is if you’re planting on different spacing. For example some guys do 30” corn rows and 15” soybeans, so they would need a different planter to do that.
Yes, so previously we had enough acres to have 2 planters and we had different spacing. But now after the family split we are running 1 planter as a second is not justifiable at the moment.
What you call a field we call four and one half farms. If you really liked stripping there would be nothing under that coat but you. This seems like a lot of work before the actual seeding is done. Trial runs must be a new thing. We tilled the field then planted it and we were done. AI must be making this a bigger ordeal than it needs to be. That said I really enjoy watching you because the new technology is beyond me. I guess we have to wait for the stripping. Good video. Pax.

Respekt to father's experience.

no, Thank You for commenting!

do you have any issues with trash buildup after a few years?
Not really
With the soil warriors you also have to freshen but with the Krause you can pull in and plant in the spring. We used to run one of both brands but now we run 2 Krauses
John Deere, soil warriors, worked best for us in the spring running coulter instead of a shank

That title is top notch
Haha I try😂

Damn. We’re going to be wrapping up in the next few days out here in northern Iowa.
Where I grew up in Georgia I lot of guys strip till or use a rip strip set up in front of a planter. But that mostly for cotton.
Seems to be pretty popular everywhere except in MN. I hope it works good for us this year as I would like to continue doing it

Yes we are very lucky to not have terraces!
Incoming stripper references 😂😂
😂
How many acres are y’all planting?
Can you just use shanks in the wheel tracks?
Idk, that’s a question I should ask!
Do you have access to the Precision Planting emergence flag kits? Love to see how the three test strips perform on emergence!
we do not have any but a local dealer to me might be able to get them. I'll have to ask
Do you have problems with frost pushing tile up over time like it does with rocks?
No, I have often wondered why. I think it probably is pushing it up but it just takes a really really long time.
You would think after a 100+ years all the rocks the frost could reach would have been pushed up by now, but it seems to be a never ending supply. ????
The rocks just keep coming 😂
why does famers buy two planting??

I too am a fan of stripping Carson.
