Final Touches Before Planting Oat Field/ Fertilizer, Discing, Cultivating
It's a snowy morning on the farm. Alan is in the final stages of field prep on 3 fields that he plans to put oats on. First, he is spreading some fertilizer on the fields, while Paul, lightly works it in with the International 1066 and field cultivator. The last rented field still needed to be disced a bit before it can be planted, so Alan takes the International 1256 and John Deere Disc over to smooth it out a bit. The 3 fields are now ready to have some seed put in the ground. The last thing we share is that Justin and Jordan had the opportunity to attend a youth education night, where they learned about beef cattle nutrition and how to assist with a cow calving. The boys even got to help pull a calf on Helga the cow.

So refreshing to see Alan with one child or another in the tractor out in the fields. This time spent with their Dad they will always remember fondly.
Hi this is Jeremy from Wisconsin. Have been watching your channel for some time grew up on the farm and farmed my self for awhile. Glad to see the next generation learning the trade
Always love the 1066 and 1256. What a perfect Era that was with farm innovation. . I take pride in people who keep these classic tractors going and working as intended to. I do run them myself
Love the calf delivery. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know, that disc is downright INSULTING to those corn stalks...! Another good video Alan (&Co.)
Justin for president 😁
GOOD FOR THE KIDS TO LEARN HOW TO HELP PULL A CALF IF NEED BE ❤😊❤ THE CHANNEL ❤😊
What a great session for the kids a true farming community
Lol I grew up in Maine on my Grandfather's dairy farm. I lost count of how many times I delivered calves before I left for the Army after I turned 18
Ground looks good for Oats.
It's GO time. 5" of snow in May a couple of times over the years but the oats always seemed to weather it well.
Match the calf with the pelvis is good information everyone should know when pulling calves. It will save the cow a lot of problems after calving. Great video.
Good to see the youth education!
Great content.My favorite channel!
May God bless you and your family,
👀🙄🐾👍 Great video Alan Jennifer and the kid's
God bless you and family hope you are rewarded with a great crop for being a good Stewart of the land
Almost a 1/2 hour video, nice, thanks for sharing.
Your "post video" video was the best part! Watching the future of AG learning from a Pro should have its own video. You are doing it right, raising your children with "chores", and getting them to events where they can learn new things. 👍, Allen, and your dear wife, who has to be all in for you to succeed.!
Hi Trinity Dairy,Ed from Vermont

Tillage seems like an enjoyable task...preparing the seed bed.
I sure miss farm life and running all that older equipment especially this time of year.
Excellent video again thanks for sharing very interesting
Enjoy Watching Field Work That Was One Of My Favorite Duties When Working On The Farm One Fellow mentioned your using Older Equipment So Be It Seems that it's Doing a Very Fine Job. I Also Enjoyed Watching The Boys Learning About Pulling Calf's Very Important Job To Help The Cow When She Needs Help and Doing It The Right Way.

I wouldn’t worry to much about your battery modification. I took the two six volts out of my 460 diesel and put one group 31 semi battery in. Works great!

I appreciate that you are posting on a more regular basis. I hope that it is paying off for you. Your family deserves it. Do you spread manure on the oat ground?
@trinitydairy
Ай бұрын
I usually spread it on corn or hay ground, it seems to be better for weed control that way.
@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb

Do you spread composted manure? Fresh manure is too "hot." I mean that the nitrogen level would be detrimental to corn.
@trinitydairy
Ай бұрын
Some composted, and Some fresh.
A word of advice, in the future try to get a spreader with two spreader blades. The spread pattern is more uniform across the field with two spinners
Great video
I really enjoy your videos
They have a lot better batteries nowadays than they did back then too
We've been getting some nice rains here. Good for germinating the grass/legume mix. I wish I would of had that education when I was young. Was that dummy calf pulling quite realistic?
@trinitydairy

Yes, it was jointed and weighed 70 pounds.
Nice video Me personally I hardly get a spreader anymore I like to let the fertilizer plant put the fertilizer with an airflow That looks like a fake cow an calf
👍👍❤️🇨🇦
What did you spray on your oats last year to kill the weeds?

I paid 549 a ton for urea and 499 a ton for potash.
I assume that you need the most land for hay. May I ask, how many acres do you devote to hay production?
@trinitydairy

I would say around 150 acres.
What happened to the Ford 8n?

It's in the shed, something came apart on the clutch.
That calf looks dead!!🤣
My 1066 had 2 12 volt batteries making 12 . Is your farm making so little money that you have to drive school bus when you Have all the old equipment that needs so much repair Always believe in so much work but if you can't make it that's ruff.

You really have no idea about farming do you? Bidenomics is making it twice as hard to raise a family let alone farm. Farming is a way of life. Loving what you do. Just be a good little boy and enjoy the vids and keep your sideways little comments to yourself thank you.

How many people do you know that both spouses have jobs? Does that mean they aren't making it at their jobs or that the current economy requires two incomes to support a family. Even new equipment requires repairs and often requires an actual dealership mechanic. Repairs and maintenance are required on everything. The costs of everything involved in dairy farming are skyrocketing, and our creamery has us on a quota, so we can only produce a certain amount of milk a month. That's not a big deal when the price is good, but when that 100 pounds of milk drops from 18.00 a hundred to 12.00 a hundred, it definitely requires some budgeting. An emergency vet call is easily 450 dollars. That doesn't go down just because the milk price did. Farming margins are tight, but my wife is able to stay home with my children, our bills are paid, and my cows are fed. I think that's pretty successful.

@trinitydairy I got a kick out of a different video were you said you had to do this and that hopefully before you had to go to work,without considering your this and that was already a days worth of work. My dad worked 12 hour shifts at green giant during corn pack along side dairy farming. Many days of little sleep but it carried use over.
The time lapse made it look easy.
