Man I farm 1200 acres, I literally tremble watching you take the time out in the field to explain things in a classroom setting. I only stop to relax when I have my crop sprayed with a 50 foot boom. Which is more than adequate for me. I also have cattle so my haying is your down time, wait you have no down time. Lol., I do have relaxation time. I’m big enough I find watching you guys.

Great Video, what a set up for spraying

I think that this probably is the most informative and educational farming channel on youtube👌🏻 Very easy and enjoyable to watch😁

One years weeds, seven years seeds.

Really enjoying spraying this year not doing any costom work

Nice one

Hi mike looking forward to your videos every day they are very interested let them come every day thank you very much greeting from Denmark

As my dad always used to say in the sprayer "let's light this candle" when we'd get read to take off

Extended to 2400+ gallons by MaxCap it looks like: instagram.com/p/COYLUl3H1AM/ About the same size as a HARDI Rubicon 9000 sprayer which comes stock with 2,200 gal. (9,000 ltrs). I beleive the Rubicon still has world's largest tank caacity from factory. HARDI is now owned by EXEL who also owns other big sprayer companies like AGRIFAC and APACHE.

Love the video

It seems that goes fast that spraying.😉

18:07, but the snowmobilers love them, ha!

If you could hook a trailer up to that Trident you could carry twice the amount of product, when one tank runs empty switch over to the other and keep going.

Mike, with the distances you have to travel for parts the airplane is a real time saver. You just saved at least four hours that you can now be spraying a lot of acres! You take care.

Watching you spray as I’m spraying my screen beeps I look your screen beeps I start scratching my head hoping I don’t have a problem then I realize oh it’s just the video beeping me 😂

You got that right about cleaning up weeds. Even tho you spray it you dont get all of them, some sprout later, some dont get burnt off and you miss some that get to seed. Then there is nature beeing equally productive for all plants, birds and wind spread seeds and you spread the seeds with a combine at harvest. So yeah, there are allways some weeds and if not taken care of you get alot of weeds next season. You can cultivate for weeds, but not in Mike's climate, losing too much moisture with that.

from what i have seen here in germany its pretty much heavy mechanical weed clearing so heavy tillage before seeding while useing cover crops and a denser population to cover the weeds faster to choke them from the sun and before the canopy closes you often see some form of harrow in use, theire even computer controlled implants that can move independed from the tractor to just work between the rows so pretty much all things that cant work for the ground mike is showing, especialy considering the size of the fields here i see it only on smaller fields, all the bigger fields are conventional (bigger fields in my region are 1x1km or bigger) just think about the man and machine houres needed for big fields without accounting for wear and erosion problems

The idea is that organic has lower input costs and higher valued crop. But they have lower yields and have a greater impact on the soil. Like Mike said, it must be losing its appeal if people are getting out of it. Generally it is the older traditional type farmers that are organic, so it might be that they are getting to the age to retire, and sell out, even if they were profitable.

At 15:47, you can see a big ring around the sun, and there are high cirrus clouds. whenever you see that, you can almost for certain bet that it is going to rain within 24-48hrs. you can almost set your watch to it.
