wish I could smell that freshly turned soil

Gorgeous soil, and that rye cover crop has certainly worked wonders. Thumbs up for not using any spraying, amen to that! 👍👍

GREAT video especially with all the different angles. Good job!!

A lot of great camera angles of the plow turning a furrow. I know it was a good bit of trouble to do that but it sure added variety (and quality) to the video.

I love the smell of freshly plowed fields. There is nothing like it. Great video and nice to see someone plowing still.

I think that is one of the things I miss the most in farming. Nothing like watching the earth fold over on itself . Love it and keep up the great work

Great video! Thanks for not ruining it with music. Great to hear the tractor and the sound of the plow in the dirt.

Thank you for using cover crops.More farmers need to start using them.I started using them in 1989 after the drought 1988.I knew getting more organic materials in the soil would have made our crop better in 88. Planting just corn 🌽 and beans is not going to last much longer. Too many farmer are doing it. If you don't take care of the soil it won't take care of

Great video! Reminds me of years gone by and time in the field with my Dad. He passed away two days after Thanksgiving 2021 and it’s tough trying to remember all he taught me. But I learned to drive a tractor before riding a bike! Love playing in the dirt.

After all the no till, it’s good to see dirt being turned over ever now and then.

Wow the footage is exceptional!!!

Not much moldboard plowing these day but I like it I think it keeps weeds down and field compost worked in plus less spraying

I haven't farmed in decades, but plowing green manure crops is essential in my opinion for a healthy soil. Taken one step further, plant a clover or other legume and let it grow for two years or so and let cattle graze it for at least a year before turning it under. The legume puts nitrogen back into the soil and the clover adds humus adding structure and natural faults for germination and root development as well as developing a healthy micro organism population. If done right, you can eliminate the cost and downside of commercial fertilizer completely. To add a fully modern twist, use an 8' tiller for the pulverizing. Makes a perfect seed bed.

Thanks for the memeory. Fall 1978, MF 4 wheel drive, pulling 5 20" bottoms., 10 " deep @ 5-6 mph. NE Iowa. Was helping a neiibore with his field work. Looking at this video I can almost smell the fresh turned earth. :-))

When I farmed on shares with Bob England he had a Case 5+1, 6-16’s in furrow semi mounted originally pulled it with the 970Case then the new 4440 JD. When I worked for Millstone Turf they had an IHC 4-18’s rollover I pulled with their Massy 1100. Loved it ‼️. Then I worked for a friend who had a 6-18” on land I pulled with one of his 1468’s , all IHC ‼️ What a dream ‼️ And I took my wife, then girl friend on a date plowing for a friend with a 2+2 and JD6-18” in furrow. That was my first time ever driving a 2+2 ‼️ Plowing is what I miss the most from farming.

Brings back a lot of good memories farming with father we plowed and disced everything lots of time working. Your camera angles are amazing

I'm in Northern Wisconsin tonight but I can smell that ground from here. I miss 'being there' even more than I knew. Thank you Mr. Gierok!

I love being able to teach my grandchildren about the farming I used to do this way. They can see the soil turning and they say it's so satisfying. I can agree with that. I loved the smell and can remember it watching this video. Thank you for posting.

Perfect conditions..Remembering the days I plowed with a 5 bottom plow. Loved watching the dirt rollover. Good memories. Thanks

Moldboard plowing was one of my favorite jobs on the farm, I could do it all day! There is just something about it, watching the dirt turn over, the power of the tractor, and also the birds, there was always birds right behind the plow looking for worms and grubs, seagulls too (I'm in northeastern WI, close to the bay of Green Bay). My second favorite job was chopping corn! Thanks for the great video, it brought back many good memories!
