Planting my first Corn Crop

After those long hours of oh, it's nice Welcome back folks. We appreciate it. Look at this. We got some blue in the West This they're still holding some rain in the forecast. We're really excited. We're getting a bunch of work done We might even finish planting today And we certainly plan on finishing Fertilizing today. I'm not doing much fertilizing in a little bit. It'll be my turn to plant this year will be my first corn crop ever I'm gonna be planting that and then we're gonna end the video out with some drilling Trying to get our sorghum in right before this big rain. Lord. Let it be a big rain First field of the day done 10 o'clock on to the next one It Is folks gonna get her spread 140 acres and then get it planted today It's doing a small field and then an 80 acres and then we'll be working on this probably until late this evening Without crop insurance. I would have gone broke farming this piece last year. Holy smokes. Was it bad? The drought is real. We're going on year three of it But hey, we're gonna pretend like we're gonna make some money this year and we're gonna put some fertilizer some seeds We're gonna kill the weeds and we'll just see what happens Two dogs over here. Hey dog Hey, you're a long ways from home I reckon I Got a refill you see these feathers It's the remnants of a kamikaze bird dive bomb me I don't think he made it Where you're saving this for later Little bit what it's good right there I Reckon the song of the day better be from Bon Jovi living on prayer Since we're praying for rain I'm also living on a prayer that coal doesn't wreck my planter so I can plant my last 80 You best be praying hard be long and hard song of the day Nothing like someone passing you on the inside when you have your blinker on and are about to turn with heavy machinery Just really nails home that you can't trust anybody that drives a Jeep My wife drives a Jeep Clicky the button and clicky the button So we got the fertilizer we spread earlier Hopefully tomorrow that gets a rain Man, look at this. It's just so dry out here This is the most fun thing turning. It's a blast. Whoa. Look my no hands The drone video made me realize that this is gonna take a while Here is a screenshot of the current forecast Unbelievable. I don't know if it's true or if someone's lying I don't know if it's true or if someone's lying, but I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie Unbelievable, I don't know if it's true or if someone's playing a cruel joke on me But you got warm temps and big chances of rain every day for a whole 10-day. Oh my lanta I sent that picture to dad. He said I heard it once rained for 40 days and 40 nights And this is the second to last field we've been hitting it really hard I'm gonna get done with this field about 7 hopefully no later than that and then dad's gonna do the last 80 acres Because we got these chances of rain. We want to get it in See a little bugger a bunch of like ground squirrels some call it. I call them gophers. I've heard a I've heard striped gopher It's not striped gopher. It's straight bid. I don't know. Everybody's got a different name for him, but they're everywhere I just feel like they like the drought I've never seen so many until the last couple years in fact about 17 of them a whole 17 in my front lawn I've gotten lead poisoning over the last four weeks. I keep digging holes. I just saw a couple mating over there They're multiplying wretched little things. Just got the low seed message Well, we just got empty and look who's coming down uncle Jeff Oh We were farming where the asteroids hit it's like a it's like 10,000 mortars hit here. It's ridiculous. Look at all these holes It's like we're raising. It's like a badger colony The snack Queen is here Last I couldn't have done it without those fine snacks. You brought me I worked really hard Seems like it full they're up and then dad's gonna do the last one Last 80 acres of corn and then hopefully hopefully we get this rain 26 mile an hour feels real fast after you just went seven mile an hour for about six and a half hours Kind of seems like they took the rain out for tonight and tomorrow morning, so we don't need to rush We don't need to get crazy. I'm gonna finish the fertilizing though There's only 20 acres left dad's gonna plant half that field until he runs out of seed which will be pretty soon And then we'll start back up tomorrow morning. That'll finish planting. I'm gonna get this drilled with sorghum last one of these fields It just looks like white we got a lot in the spreader left And so we're gonna hop over and do this grass about 30 acres of grass here. We'll run until we run out Oh We got her done. We'll see what tomorrow brings dad's up early He's finishing the last 20 acres as you can tell by the dust flying we didn't get any rain last night You happen to know of where a packing wheel would be That's correct, we don't have one it's straight-up missing Oh Well it seems like the nuts still on and the bearing is there But the wheel came off This is from our old drill. It's a different brand, but it might be the same exact brand of closing wheel Just watching a sunny farms video so I Relearn how to use this drill for future reference call a year from now you want this at 3 16th of an inch For sorghum and about 5 16th for fescue, and how you doing by the way? I'm sure you're just as handsome as you are right now. It's a special day folks It's dad's anniversary and my mom's of course mom's too. Yeah, what's the coincidence? What a coincidence what a coincidence yep, what are the chances I don't know Where were you 33 years ago? You didn't come to my wedding boy. No I did not so you've been married happily how many years? About 17 I suppose that's not too bad out of 33. I'm kidding dear Well let's give her a try Yeah, we got some seed metering It's making a slot. Can you see it?
