At work here in Bendigo Victoria we have been making a lot of Kwik Kleen tube screens this year with a lot of farmers with the same Vetch problem we make just about any barrel screen hannaford ,Nufab, Shmik 750-1000 ,FRAHN ,Petkus and Vetch as been a problem great videos
would you like some beans with your vetch, sounds like you could use an onsite cleaner a homemade one, kinda like how gold is found, with the sifts, make a giant version of that, some vibrators (not those ones) and then some kinda suction to remove the grain/pulses from each level....patent me up xD
Absolute bumper harvest for beans congratulations. What did you use for herbicide to get rid of the wild mostert? Usually a pain in the ass to control.
Hi Henry I appreciates your effort sharing knowledge I wants to come into farming can you help me to start a farm I need some experience before get into the agribusiness I very great full if you are able to help me thanks
G’day Henry. What would we do without ratchet straps, we’ve been using them to stop legumes blowing over the back of the tin front for years. Regards from Condowie.
Happy to answer - They are primarily grown for human consumption. They are mainly consumed in the middle east if memory serves. If the beans are stained from weather damage or have other defects then they are used as stock feed.
@@lockvalleyfarms981 Thank you for that! I have eaten a Greek bean stew called 'fassoulatha" (translated: bean soup) that used fava beans. I'm now hoping that they might have been your beans! Keep up the great work!
We havested another paddock, that was just vetch, for seed. The vetch in the beans was a mix of the vetch we grow and wild vetch, or tares as they are called. Don't want to replant that stuff. We kept it for sheep feed.
We're always told to not be any less than 120kg ha. These went in at a good 125kg ha. I know some of our neighbours say they seed them at 130-140kg ha. Yeah we've never seen anything quite like it either. It was amazing to see and harvest.
Well not a complete loss then, being a legume should be pretty high in protein. BTW hello from Hindmarsh Island South Australia I love your part of our great state
Hi Henry Merritt contracting had the same issue but used a vastly different type of cleaner ruclips.net/video/duVv9GwRsgg/видео.html Still looked pretty slow though
It's a nitrogen fixing legume. Good for sheep feed, spraying out grasses, returning nitrogen to the soil and can also makes good quality, high protein hay.
Why not feed the crop to the sheep and cows just let them graze them not even cut them that way you get a lot of fertilizer and don't have to deal with it
$2000 a hectare and the best beans we have ever grown. It would mean a massive loss if I just put sheep in there. We wouldn't be able to make that up by grazing. Not to mention we won't be able to get through it with the air seeder and the mouse problem it will cause by knocking all the beans on the ground.
Good luck combining your beans 🫘 Henry
Yous certainly work hard and yous are being rewarded with bumper crops. Enjoy watching, Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺
Love that view from the drone towards the hill's over the combine
Nice looking beans 🫘 Henry
Great video Henry

Bendoc beans will sort out the vetch issues

Hey Henry Joseph from jamestown here love your videos
Thanks mate, thanks for watching 👍

Didn't use anything in the end. The beans had the jump on them and out competed them. Wasn't much in there at all in the end.
I always enjoy your videos 👌

Is there any value to the vetch seeds that you clean out. Good vidio
Sheep feed only because a lot of it was tares, or wild vetch.

Do the Faba bean plants put Nitrogen into the soil, and what crop would benefit the most
from this costly fertiliser.
Yes, they fix nitrogen back into the soil. Wheat will be planted there next year
where do you harvest? could you give me name of farm?
how could i buy faba bean from your farm?
i'm living in Vietnam
Love your videos Henry - forgive my ignorance, but what are the beans used for?
Happy to answer - They are primarily grown for human consumption. They are mainly consumed in the middle east if memory serves.

You’re moving forwards, not backwards that’s the main thing
I can’t be the only one who thought the mic was a dog in the last video initially. 😂😂😜 Will you keep the vetch seed to plant in the fall?
Yeah I totally stuffed that up
@@lockvalleyfarms981 will you keep the vetch seed or just toss it?
We havested another paddock, that was just vetch, for seed. The vetch in the beans was a mix of the vetch we grow and wild vetch, or tares as they are called. Don't want to replant that stuff. We kept it for sheep feed.
@@lockvalleyfarms981 got ya. 👍 always enjoy your videos.
What density did you plant that beans? Never saw a stand like that before. Insane yield.
We're always told to not be any less than 120kg ha. These went in at a good 125kg ha. I know some of our neighbours say they seed them at 130-140kg ha. Yeah we've never seen anything quite like it either. It was amazing to see and harvest.
What are you going to do with the screenings ( small beans and vetch ) ?
Can you feed vetch seed to sheep ?
We kept it for sheep feed because half of it was probably tares, or wild vetch. No good as seed but the sheep will eat it.
Well not a complete loss then, being a legume should be pretty high in protein.

you will have plenty of vetch seed you wont need to leave vetch for seeds
Why not sell the veg too
It's full of tares. Which is wild vetch. No good for seed. We kept it and fed to sheep 🐑
@@lockvalleyfarms981 just as good, what is vetch anyway
