Look up les't have a conversation.

What struck me was the conversation you and your dad were having as you were working on the planter adjustments. He mentioned that he hoped Onyx was doing okay with tillage and you commented that if anything happened he would handle it better than most adults to which your dad immediately agreed. Seems like Onyx has really earned the respect of you and your dad when it comes to taking responsibility for the operation of some very expensive equipment.

When you talked about fuel coming i had a wry smile, i recall the time when our farm ran out of diesel. Four tractors were waiting to fill up before we could go muck spreading miles away. The fuel came, we filled up and went. We got to the field and shortly after every tractor came to a stop with fuel issues, one after another over about twenty minutes.yes you are right, all the muck and sediment in the tank on the farm went into suspension and then went into the tractor fuel tank. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. This was about thirty years ago, we had steel holding tanks on the farm then.

That lighting package on that planter is the bee's knees.

It’s very interesting to hear about the new ways fertilizer is being applied and only needing 1/3rd needed to grow the same crops, but my biggest fear to that is once farmers start using 1/3rd needed the fert. Company’s are going to triple their prices if not quadruple the price, making all farmers upgrade to all new equipment or they are going to pack it in and either rent their land out or sell it all together

The ugly issue with fertilizer is the runoff entering streams and causing algae and plant blooms choking those bodies off. Reducing your fertilizer usage by 66% will help control that issue

I appreciate the information on how the planter works and the dosage of fertilizer. The autonomous aspect of the tractor and planter is a real efficient aspect of today's farming. Contrast that approach with using a two row planter with only a drop feature common in the 1950s. I watch your farming practices to learn the new tools and processes. Farming today is intriguing to me. Thanks for the video and the narrative.

I enjoyed your discussion on how fertilizer is metered. Farming is all about managing the inputs.

6:39 the previous owner had a smart idea to keep the carpet clean, he left the plastic on 😁

I can send you some wooden cloggs from where I live, the Netherlands. When you enter the tractor, you can put them in the corner very easily and keep the floor clean on the inside of the tractor.👍

Only spraying each seed is brilliant! Actually truly genious!
