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.

    Do you spread composted manure? Fresh manure is too "hot." I mean that the nitrogen level would be detrimental to corn.

    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.
