@@danw6014 I did some in the mid 90s as I had stop row cropping but always raised 40 acres of corn for feed as well a few beans and milo .I am almost 70 now and have retired I sold the last of my cows this year I sure miss it.

Being a lawn care operator for 27 years I was always amazed at the misuse of lawn chemicals. Homeowners were the worst culprit and often had the misinformed idea that farmers were just dumping chemicals in the fields. Great video guys, took me back to my working days!

No, the farmers are dumping chemicals on fields. My water is ruined from years of farming, and the ditches turn all kinds of colors. Then all the stuff that gets spilled into the ground at the CO-OP. Poisoning the land for profit.

When you spray chemicals precision is everything.

Good luck spraying your corn 🌽

VERY INFORMATIVE GUY'S !!!!! Thing's have changed since the 70s and 80s

The combination of the grass and crops looks beautiful

That 7510 looks like a nice tractor.

Great video

Enjoy your video We never sprayed our fields But that's when I was younger I was going back about 55 years Enjoy your video and we'll be watching the next one

Great video Gierok Farms

Thank you for being so detailed. You two are a good team. Easy to listen to. Bless you all!

Thanks for the info and telling about the foam, I was wondering about it. It is amazing how households sometimes use stuff like roundup and other sprays. My husband always was hyper careful, went backwards as he sprayed our small lawn and would not walk on sprayed ground, then came in, switched clothes and washed them right away.

The first farmer I worked for had a John Deere model 18A three point sprayer. We actually filled it by the milk house. We had a cement water cistern buried between the milk house and the barn. When we were spraying we used a sump pump with a line hanging over the milk house roof to fill the sprayer. Filled it right quick and the water was clean. It supplied the water system in the barn.

Thank you!

Sometime in the early 1960s Dad began using Atrazine on his cornfields. I am certain our methods would be unacceptable in today's world. Park the 300-gallon sprayer next to the farm well, shake in a bag of powder which put dust in the air and fill with a hose. No protective gear of any kind. He was planting over 2.. acres of corn and the Atrazine mostly eliminated cultivating corn although I do remember falling asleep on the JD 50 a few times with the two-row cultivator mounted. 😄

Good luck with your corn harvest hope u have a good harvest

Hey boys,,,glad to see the corn in. We're pretty dry over here in Menomonie too. Keep the faith.

I have a buddy that it all organic and he gets big fore his beans but he is cultivating all the time.

Great video! ✌🏻💚🌱

We use for Spraying rau 600 liter Sprayer and for spray and planting we use Zetor 7341 super turbo we spray in 1 st gear. And we plant 23 hectars of corn for planting we need 7 days and spraying 3 to 4 days

Ya have to have a shotgun in one hand and a spray can in the other just to raise a garden lol your crops always look great

👌👍Thanks. N.G.

Love this video thank you buddy my friend sprays for us I am looking to get into spraying and buying a sprayer only do 30 acres of corn but it would be helpful definitely

Spent hours on cultivators!

As I asked some other old cultivators here, have you ever grown check corn with cultivating both ways? Was planting check corn overly time consuming?

"Organic" is mostly a marketing proposition. It is a way to differentiate the product and charge more.

For those watching who do not know corn is a member of the grass family, spraying roundup on corn will kill it along with the grass growing in the field.

Yes except the literally thousands of corn hybrids that farmers use that are immune to roundup. Roundup ready corn it’s called. It’s why corn prices are as low as they are. Your welcome

By the way,,,where ya sitting on the Oliver?

My dad used to cultivate his crops--first with a two row cultivator, then a four row mounted on his old Massey-Harris 44. Eventually, he upgraded to a three-point mounted four row on a JD 4020. You hear so much about the rising cost of chemicals. Is it still less expensive to spray than to cultivate?

What did you guys decide on the Oliver❤

I'm a small farmer I run a small tank on my sprayer. What I do these two ammonia washes and then a clear water wash when I'm changing products

Sometimes it is not the farmers fault. I live in Michigan. Think pears! Farmers had no info. It was hidden from them and now we are all suffering for it.

I have been using roundup ready my question is there a big price difference for conventional

What the cost of the spray?visasworking the rows

What chemicals did you use?

Great video my question is can you trust the chemical company to honestly tell you how to use there product after all the more they sell the more money they make??

How are the large scale fimcos , I know the smaller ones are problematic and fickle

This might sound like a dumb question but an honest question, do you need a license to apply fertilizer while planting crops?

Just noticed- the beard’s back….

at 4:50.............yes, I used a 300 gallon trailer during my farming days and did custom spraying for a few neighbors. "sidehill".........Yes,a mounted sprayer would work better. I hadn't thought of the "sidehill advantage" of a mounted picker. I used 14 gallons per acre water.

I will look forward to the day none of us use roundup at all. When the French know enough not to use it we should be as smart of them at least. The chemical sellers are not on the side of consumers so they just keep selling poison. I am pleased you are doing without roundup at least sometimes. Thank you.

I see all these people crying cultivate cultivate CULTIVATE! Then when you have videos off tillage it’s everyone crying no till no till NO TILL! News flash- no till means 3x the chemical usage! Organic/ no chemical means 2-3x the soil distrubing tillage! I just wish people that knew nothing about agriculture would stop trying to give advice- regurgitating scare tactics they heard somewhere.

I would be courious if only being a 200 gallon tank and how little acers ya spray if there is anything ya can do that makes yeild better....

No corn planting video Arron shame on you lol

I am organic, for whatever that is worth. Chemicals used right are a great tool. I’m not against them in theory, they just aren’t for me. I believe free market capitalism, and the consumer should dictate what happens.

We never sprayed anything. As laborious as it was, we cultivated the corn several times (I think it was three times) with our old JD.
