The consequences of my own actions. Planting 2024 (days 1&2)

welcome back to the farmer Johnson YouTube channel around home here it's finally getting dry enough that we're able to get in the field and get a little bit of field work done so in today's episode we're going to start out Sunday morning knifing a little bit of in hydras but then come Monday morning it's all systems go as we try to get all five of our 60t Planters rolling in the field anyways thanks for watching I hope you guys like it today is Sunday uh the 21st uh I put my kids in the car to head to church this morning and I got the phone call from Dad and he's like hey we're going to go check some ground out uh be ready to go so I put the kids in the car and uh the wife headed on to the church and I went into the shop and we're out here knifing now um we got two 60t in Hydra bars going and they're all back in at the shop getting the tillage crew going um I'm not sure what all will be running tillage wise trying to air some ground out behind these these in hydrous bars but uh they're they're trying to get them running so [Music] day I think five of knifing and hydris day two of working ground and so far it's Day Zero for planting corn no corn planted yet but if I had to guess so sometime today it's going to be day one for playing corn I would I would imagine they'll start playing corn sometime today um if I was a betting man but I'm not a huge betting man so I don't know that's my guess for when we'll start planting but let me know if you guys are farmers who live around Farms let me know when planting is going to start or let me know when it did start it's not officially day one of planting yet because nothing's planting planted but um we're going to try to plant today uh Kyle is coming over here he's going to park his tractor because he's currently running the 500 tire machine it don't have GPS and his bar is older so he's going to come over and run this bar um he's never ran it before but I'm going to give him the crash course uh he knows how to run the Ravens uh rate controller type deal because he's side dressed and that's how our side dress bars run but um I'm going to take his bar into Pap's Place get my planter out and we're going to try to go plant I still got to fill the seed truck and stuff like that but we're going to try for this to be day one of planting all right so this is how you put it in gear really you want to push the clutch in and then what that I don't know if that one's like that no tractors you've been around ever like that but and then this is your throttle your gear shifter Now where's the radio where's the radio at um it's right here okay that's all I need you want it in the red that's the good music okay yeah well we're good then I think your your job here's done yep all right we'll see you let see [Music] listen buddy listen I'm sorry it was an accident ah got him that sucks sorry little [Music] guy how many acres you going to get planted today Papa I don't know just guess 400 I was going to say 30 or 40 30 or 40 31 you're getting 31 31 mayal Jenny cooked us lunch today got pie for dessert some salad mashed potatoes corn green beans chicken whole spread look way out there the two corn painters well one of them is growing I don't know what the other one's doing you having trouble Cody's sitting there waiting for seed and then we'll have the bean planners [Music] rolling well I'm full of seed um I got all my seat disc in it everything's on here is the moment of [Music] truth I think every meter just loaded I forgot to film myself today at lunchtime but um yeah my name's kall and I think I'm going to plant 200 Acres today I don't know we'll we'll see we'll see where we're at when it's done I mean I'm rolling right now rolling pretty decent but I don't know I think I might blow 200 Acres out of the water we'll see we'll see It'll be something's got to go wrong here I I [Music] know just cruised across my well I'm I'm coming up on 150 acres we had 100 acres a little bit ago so I mean hopefully I can smash my goal at 200 Acres I mean uh I know the uh corn guys Pap and Bruce they done smash their goal cuz I know they got 30 Acres a while ago so they set the bar kind of low there I don't know what we got going on over here but anytime you see a service truck in the field it's probably not a good thing I pulled up to get a fill um we're about done with this Farm we're going to go ahead and move on so I figured I'd fill before I leave but you're not you're not you're not shining the flashlight in the right spot okay D dad didn't give you the flashlight so you could see a not wanting to run you guys done here yeah you quitting fighting C oh oh I was going to fill and move into hathorn are you yeah ah let's go down on the other end let's go down on the other end and see if we can break it You' been busy today me yeah yeah just been sitting there twiddling your thumbs yeah this is the first call you got all day right hey hey hey I at at least I'm not calling you right now yeah for what I don't know hey your time's coming it's coming it don't happen it don't happen often for but like when it happens it's bad it's real bad fon [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] pretty serious walk to work this morning I tell you what walk out the back door about 100 foot and here we are get to 2020 fired up here um I did hit my 200 acre Mark goal last night um I got like 20 like7 acres I think yesterday so um not an awesome day of running honestly but um if you take into account it was the first day um I didn't have any breakdowns and I didn't get started till like 2:00 it wasn't a terrible day but we need seed [Music] ow I I fell down the ladder I don't know if you guys can see that the re angle but I pretty much fell from this step uh to the ground that kind of hurt actually like it actually did kind of hurt ow see some people just don't realize how dangerous it is being a YouTuber nowadays we're full on seed we checked over the planner so we should be ready run for a little while here and we'll head back to the down to the bottoms get them finished up Cody's working on greasing his planter uh he has about 300 more grease fittings on his planter than this one has so takes a second [Music] for come [Music] [Music] I'm laning enough that uh it thinks it's about to run out of fuel we'll hop out here and I'll try to do some justice on uh just what we're what we're farming here I mean these Hills don't look like much but like okay if I go right here with edge of the planer I'm level with the top of the tractor so like pretty substantial hill we got going [Music] just finished up another one so we're going to go ahead and fold and move on um that's not looking promising I don't know how far 3 gallons of fuel will give me but uh if I had to guess it's not very far I've been driving for about 5 minutes oh no that's not good we just went from 8 Gall to 0 gallons but we're still still moving so please we made it to our destination so that's good I'm not sure if the seat truck has any fuel in it but we're going to try to pump some we'll see what it does have homemade seed truck for the wind if it has any fuel I do not know I do know the bottom of our tank is dry still dry in about 3 minutes we pumped from there from all the way down there cuz I mean zero gallons all the way up to here I would really hate to see what this thing would do if uh the nozzle fell out if you weren't around you'd make a mess pretty fast conditions are not ideal um that is for sure that's that's a light way to put it um we've gotten some really nice dry stuff where we're throwing some dust and then there's also spots where you're cleating it pretty good slicing it but I don't know we are trying to NOA our corn stocks this year so none of these corn stocks have been worked down at all so I don't know we'll see how it goes I mean I guess if it don't work out right hopefully it works out right the second time we plant them most of the Field's pretty good shape but Crossing ditches we're getting in mud try to stay out of the real wet spots but sometimes that's hard to do this planter looks like it's rain for a full season almost but nope just a single day well we are back from lunch we had meatloaf wrapped in like bacon today and mashed potatoes and green beans and rolls and like I don't know caramel pie it was pretty good uh Bruce's wife made it for us but we're back we're ready to roll we got seed we got 3/4 of a tank of diesel fuel because if I filled it all the way up thatd just be way too much weight to carry around so we're going to try to get something done here for anyone out there that's like super curious on what happens to a tractor when it runs out of diesel exhaust fluid or death for short um I can't speak for every tractor out there but for the one I'm driving I mean not much happens um other than it makes this just terrible noise um retrospect I probably should have put death in the tractor when I filled it up with fuel but I don't know I'm not positive if the tractor will eventually stop or not on about 30 minutes of this running um waiting on my seat truck to get back here so I can uh add some death and get rid of this noise but other than the terrible noise it's really not that [Music] bad we got de de has arrived on scene actually is much worse than just not filling up with um death when I filled up with seed I didn't fill up with death twice when I filled up with seed and they asked me before they took the truck like hey do you need death and I was like no I can make it to the next form I was wrong anyways this is probably a good place to end this video um plon days one and two and you guys got a Sunday uh sneak peek of uh knifing and hydras so it's kind of a three for one there so um I guess I guess we'll go ahead and shut her down so than thank you for watching we'll see you guys in the next one
