I Spent 1 Year Transforming Land for Hay and Hunting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2023
- This project started in the summer of 2022 mowing back the growth of that spring and thick brush. Reseeding areas that were bare and planting two food plots for the deer. I had Josie come out and learn to drive a manual for the first time even though she could barely touch the pedals. The footage spans from that summer and recaps what it turned into today. We were able to make some bales off the few acres of open grass this spring.
I am so glad that some people still understand hard work and labor instead of computers and video games
Hardwork doesn't pay well
Nothing wrong playing on my pc once in a while I can do both 🤷🏻♂️
Okay, grandpa
@StamperFarm you do realize that Spencer's main job is playing video games
Lol, playing video games got them these machines
Dude you are crushing it! You are definitely giving me great confidence in being a first generation farmer starting out! Thank you for the great content and transparency you put out. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed
Glad to hear it!
I think continuing the hay is a great idea considering you aren't a big deer hunter.
If you diversified with clover and alfalfa, I think you can gain a lot of food for the deer at the same time as growing higher quality hay.
I know nothing about hay btw
Keep doing what your doing. Dont worry about what " everyone " thinks. It is your channel. Its entertaining and fun to watch you and your brother on the journey you are on and letting us watch. Its fun for us and looks like you two are having fun too.
I would really like to try and get into farming once I get a little older. No one in my family is a farmer, but I hope that I’ll be able to try it out, even if it’s something small. I love the videos and thank you for being so transparent about everything. It really is helping me a lot. Keep up the good work!
That dump truck is freakin sweet!
I enjoy the type of videos you are posting.
Glad to hear it!
4:26 best part for me because of this iconic saying. Lol. Overall it was a wholesome vlog bud to me as long as your happy doing this and everything. Seeing the smile on your face is worth it Josie is blessed to have you in her life Bud Good job teaching her. Your a great leader as well with grant. Im hopeful after you harvest the corn you can bale a bit on your farm I’m curious to see if anything happens. Love you both the family togetherness is incredible
It's great what you and your brother have done with your lives. We along for the ride as we watch you guys grow up and learn.
I appreciate that
Alfalfa is an excellent choice. On irrigated acres we get 4 cuttings. As I am in Washington I’m sure it is different over there, but alfalfa is an excellent hay crop. Very useful as well. We feed alfalfa to cows with excellent results. Deer will love it as well. Caution: the clover “leaf” part is where the nutrition is at, don’t lose it.
yeah alfalfa probably does better in our wet winters and dry summers (unless you are out on the eastern side of the cascades its quite a it dryer there)
See is as great as you love y’all have fun and a great rest of y’all day love y’all
Inspired by you to go farming, even at my age of 52. Keep making the great videos . Love you, and your brothers content that you post.
When I do food plots, I always put up like a fence around them, but always helps keeps deer off of them for a while. So it gives a crop a chance to grow.
Hell ya. Awsome job. That first buck was a dandy. Life is short. Always make time to hunt. Proud of both of you. Great job
I am happy I came across your channel, and I think the hay part is a good long term thing to get it more even and some more grass, for example clover to get some nutrients into the soil
Also must say that your student was doing a great job :) Lord knows it must be hard to run when its made for longer people to reach the pedals, and she seemed to have fun too, that is important! 🙂
Hey thanks! Yeah think I will stick with hay and may replant this spring. She did great for the seat being so far back.
I really love these videos of yours as i want to be a farmer when i grow up. Im 12😂.I actually learnd alot from your channel thx😊
Bravo Spencer, I found your channel through your brother and so far your content, video skills+ editing,,, hands down you win. Variety is nice,, sorta like life, tomorrows mysteries.. oh yeah either move the seat forward or give the young lady a pillow, she did great driving and would be more awesome if the pedals reached.. well done a future farm driver 👍👩🌾👍 👍🚜👍
Love the farming content! You’re doing great!
I think that you should do alfalfa and clover mix because alfalfa makes some very nice hay and you can usually get two to three cuts off it every year and the clover should leave a nice bit of food for the deer in the fall
I love what you are doing to the videos!! So keep up the awesome work!!
I really enjoy your videos you do a great job of showing from start to finish and edit it very well ! Keep up the good work.
OMG. Keep them coming. Your fun to watch whatever your up to. Such a pleasant young man you are.
This is pretty cool. Can't wait to see how the harvest goes.
Keep them coming glad to see an Iowa farmer
It's amazing what you and your brother can set your minds to save accomplish
Great vid poor Josie not to have a pillow or something to keep her forward!
Love the videos spencer and love you
im happy I found your channel I love watching your videos
There are some great summer grass mixes you should look into. The animals love them and they help to rebuild the soils
I love the farming videos! Keep up the good work and keep us updated
Great videos 👍
that was an awesome video, very interesting and educational also you may be better off with growing hay since deer and turkeys seem to wipe out every other thing that you plant, the property looks super you all did a great job of it
Interesting video. My son and I cleaned up about a mile of paths through my "Deer 40" this morning and made about another 1/4 mile of paths through the trees. He first went through with a grapple and I manned the chainsaw to cut anything he could not pick up, pull, or push over. Then he went through with a brush hog to chop up all of the smaller stuff.
Nice! Sounds like fast process!
Doing a great job keep up the great work you and Grant are a great inspiration for all the young farmers around the world. I live in Victoria Australia so you are getting around the world. Good luck.
RUclips has videos on bringing back old hay fields. I'm surprised nobody mentioned using a spike aerator on the field. Spike the field, reseed, and a few months later fertilize.
Looking forward to the harvest videos
I really like your channel I’m really glad i stumbled across it a while ago
Good job keep it up
I like it !! Great videos!! I do like it all in one. Great to shocase all the work in to it!
Glad you enjoy it!
You did a good job Spencer everything looks great. It’s nice to see your GF isn’t afraid to learn how to drive the military truck. Hope everything went well this fall. Alfalfa is very finicky if you plant it fertilize it and pray for some rain.
Yeah thinking about sticking with what I got for next year. We’ll see tho! Thanks!
that was great video Spencer and I enjoy watching your videos on your awesome channel 👍👍
Spencer u are a great teacher
Love watching what you share, I think you should do what works for you.
Keep it up!
Say you have rich parents without saying it.
I bought a old farm in the north of sweden two years ago when i was 18. And I cleaned arround 2 acres just using basic tools and a old MF 35. That was a lot of work. I wish had machines like you man.
How much makes you rich I have always been curious? Nice. Everything you see here is either my equipment or my brothers that we bought over past three years. Thanks for watching!
@@spencerhilbert great stuff. Now I sit here in the arctic and cant wait for the summer😒
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL and all your efforts well done................. keep it up :)
Keep up the hard worl brotha! Much respect!
Well Spencer, that’s a nice buck I live in the Appalachian mountains and I got. Pictures on a trail camera. Of a 12 point on my property.so excited for deer season
get some soil samples done and see what is lacking or needed. we did this for years knowing when we needed to lime or spread pot ash to better the fields
I love the farm videos😁
Alfalfa is high maintenance. You will have to cut it several times a year. Deer will usually prefer white clover over red. For hay the red is better, in my opinion. Iv had good luck with yellow clover (was told it was actually a lespedeza) for both deer and hay for stock. The neighbors horses loved it. Im in mid Missouri and can find out exactly what we planted if your interested.
Enjoy watching your videos.. keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
Nice video, move the seat forward for your lady driver so she doesn't struggle so much with the clutch.
Being loving the videos recently. Keep it up
Great video. The one thing about alfalfa it's high calcium and makes for great antler growth. It always seems like the biggest bucks get harvested near the big alfalfa fields where I'm at in central MN. I think also if your selling the hay it has more value. You probably already know that you can buy round -up ready alfalfa so you can eliminate 95% if the weeds and grass. Then when it does get started and thick enough it chokes out the undesirable plants. Much more cost on that seed but the return might be worth it having pure alfalfa hay. They only negative might be that you wreck some turkey nests or hit a fawn when cutting the first crop but they can be in grass hay as well.
Love the vids man love the farming vids I’m on west side of Iowa I always look forward to your vids
I would love to see some more hunting content
You have such a good channel. End of conversation.
Ive been watching a lot of farming simulator videos lately and Im so glad I found your channel!
Make sure you do your vertical welds uphill. Makes for much better penetration. What I’ve found is soybean plots have to be at least an acre to get any size to the plants at all
If you are going to deer hunt do alfalfa because it has a lot protein that the deer like and it stays green in the fall when the other stuff is brown I hunt over alfalfa and I like it.
Get a solar power electric fence for food plots and remove when it’s almost time to hunt
Could plant clover. With upkeep, it'll last 4-5 years. Plus you can mow it and bale it and sell those as well
U could cut 2nd crop of hay this yr. Plow ,disc and seed winter wheat or rye. Roll it after planting to smooth out the ground. Cut and bale the wheat or rye off in early spring replant alfalfa and clover. Deer hunting over green winter wheat or rye this fall would bring in alot more deer than leaving the pasture grass as is.
Spread you some chicken litter on it this fall will help build nutrients in the soil will make great hay for next season
Wait till spring, don’t do tillage, just seed it into the ground, get some with a disc drill if they can do fert and seed then do about 50-100 lbs of blend fertilizer per acre to the recommended 40-60 lbs alfalfa seed per acre, if they can only do 1 product, then do fertilizer first (side banding) then alfalfa, that way your keeping your grass and will have a good grass/ alfalfa mix in your field, that’s what everyone around me in east central Alberta does, the wildlife should easily not be able to keep up to the growth of the alfalfa grass mix, and all they’ll do is go after the grass not the alfalfa
And the training begins for the farm help. Good on ya
Pretty cool to see what ya do to take land and make it hunt able and bale able....
I think you should keep it as hay because most people don’t want little alfalfa bales unless you know a lot of people that have a few horses
I would like to see some hunting videos. 🦌 🦃.
I can see your college education help you with your financials which is the most important when running a farm and it might take a couple of years but you will make a profit.. My Uncle and three cousin run a three-thousand acres farm a ranch together and I don't know how they do it. I visit them for a month and help them around the farm and it is hard work. Up at four in the morning and done sometime at ten at night. I lost forty pounds that month. I tell you it keeps you in shape. I am not sure if they farm the whole three thousand acres thou. I didn't ask .I did enjoyed riding their horses. My Uncle is eighty-five years old and he can get on those horses better than me at 68 years old. Great Video
just a tip stick welding something like that side on the dump bed would be better because stick is stronger than mig or flux cored im not sure if u got mig or flux but stick is more trustworthy but true mig is better than flux cored
Use oats or sorghum as your parent crop to keep pressure off of alfalfa
If you need rain come take it from Maine we have had to much water we were only able to get maybe 300 small squares in so far and usually were done first crop waiting for 2nd to grow
good video thankyou
Sup Spencer love you vids especially the millionaire series on farm sim
I thought it was him by the voice but now I know it’s him
You should plant native grasses and plants
The deer will mow down the alfalfa. Maybe try a rye grass mix !!
thats why i did my licens on a manual car i didnt want to have restrictions or a hard time with a manual i didnt look for the easy way i did the wright way and im proud to say now im happy that i can drive manual cars personaly automatic cars are boring nothing to do exept gas and at the end breack so i can shift the entire time im driving
You could plant the alfalfa with a cover crop of oats the first year then spray it after the oats is off or the following spring. Once established i dont think the deer can keep up with 5 acres.
Just watch your old clip of the till and burn of the fields. A couple of thing, watch clips of the great dust bowl. Way back, farmers over cleared got greedy. Had a dry year, wind blows all there top soil away. A good rule of thumb, always always keep a wind break.. diets blows away, the land go dead.
In the 70s, I had 40.000 acers under plow.
Every grain known to man. We built all the SILOS, concrete with gas blowers from the top of the Mississippi down to New Orleans's. Trust this, in farming big is not always better. Good luck.
Yeah the dust bowl is very intresting to learn about. The government giving away the land for pennies on the dollar may had something to do with it as well. You farmed 40,000 acres??
Run a harow over it a lot then plant orchard grass and make dry hay off that
For alfalfa you need to do a soil test and see what your PH is…it really needs to be a 7 for alfalfa and if it’s lower than that don’t plant it until you get it around that level
been waiting for the next upload. can't wait to see more content from you bro :D
Looking nice Spence
I like the chanel.
You asked for comments on the type of videos you are making so here it goes. Don't change a thing that you're doing. I get it a lot of creators are doing this RUclips thing as a living but honestly I think what you are doing to create revenue streams through your various endeavors will sustain you for years to come. I would say your videos are more quality/educational than just short entertainment thus the reason I enjoy watching. Keep doing you Spencer
Thanks for the comment I appreciate the feedback!
Eithee fix the seat adjuster or get her platform boots
Josie is such a sweetheart! You are a brave man to teach your girlfriend to drive a clutch 😂
She did a much better learning the stick shift than my wife did learning an automatic LOL
It seems kinda fun to drive the military truck tbh
Have a solid endgame and talked to extention for tips.
I'd go to alfalfa. You can cut and bail if you want, the deer like it and its ez to grow with little cost. I'd also think of raising pheasants and start a little gun club!
She done well!
Good video, I have a similiar project I have been working on on my channel. I have posted the trail cam videos of bear, deer, and elk that now frequent the area.
Nice I just checked it out! Good luck on the channel if you have any questions on RUclips stuff reach out on Instagram DM. Would be happy to help. (I have another channel that I have been doing for years).
My 2 cents for alfalfa. Better $ return, and should be able to take minimum 3 cuttings off, maybe 4 some years. If possible, find a farm that can provide either cow or chicken manure to spread on the field before working it up.
I realy whas thinking that u had over a milion subs 😅 gread video's
For relationship sack, I recommend not pushing your girl friend to run the grain cart this fall.
Banger
I wouldn’t just single-handedly planted all alfalfa, I think you should also mix in some clover, because Clover brings nitrogen into the soil.
And also another further note, that clover performs better when it’s hot outside, just like Bermuda grass.
Get a couch cushion for behind your girlfriend when she drives the truck. Helps reach pedals.
Very sweet, thanks for the vids! Been looking at getting some land in the next year or so. Quick question, the other video you talked about your cost breakdown in buying the land. Do you also live on that piece of land as well or is it just the land you bought?
I don’t live there. Just bought it.
