2 crops in 1 drill? 🤔

So why are we seeding lentils but also barley in the same field?

For extra entertainment, polls, pictures, flash backs, Ashtyn & Chapel, and more interactive content or just to contact Mike 🙂

Get a water air filter. Basically a fancy humidifier. To help get the smoke out of the air for Chapel. Smoke is one of the hardest things to filter out of air. I work in semi-conductors and have had to help in several projects to fix air problems. Smoke, ammonia and alcohol are the hardest things to clean out of the air. We have to make air super humid then dry it out to clean those out.

All the best to your boy, allergies are a pain to deal with but hopefully he will grow out of it

It's nice to see Mick teach you farming❤

We have had the smoke here in WC Indiana as well, my wife and I were both coughing a little during the worst of it. We finally got some rain and it cleared the air some. I am fascinated by these videos of northern farming, even though we have no crops in common and very different climates and soils. No salt to worry about here, and we have extensive tile networks for drainage. All row crops except a little SRW wheat and some hay. Very interesting.

It’s affecting a lot of the us also. Glad to see south farm getting rain finally

Gotta love that sour dirt hey. Oats and clover work good too.

I've said it before..but I really enjoy and appreciate how educational your videos are.

Hopefully baby Chapel will grow out of his adversity to smoke particles as his immune system develops, & at least you now know what triggers his hives & take precautions as necessary to protect the little fella. Interesting to see how the multi compartments of the aircart can be used to suit your two crop situation making the whole process so much more efficient. 😊

Good luck seeding your 2023 crops at your north farm Mike

We are sorry to hear of your son being affected by the smoke in the air. It has been bad in Calgary on some days. You could smell it easily. We have a grandson in Oklahoma who was even allergic to some foods. Fortunately, he outgrew most of his allergies. Take care.

Very interesting - never thought of or even heard of carrying seed for two crops in a single air tank.

You might Need to use a Air Purifier with a HEPA filter in Chapels bedroom ..That should help reduce the effects for sleeping.
Give Chapel and Ashtyn a Big Hug and hope the hives do not last too long.

[SirHuddy]

Hopefully chapel gets feeling better, growing up on the farm I found out at 10 years old I’m allergic to pretty much everything on the farm so it was hard!

Hi Mike, thanks for the videos. Nice to see moisture at the south farm... looks like a good start for the plants. That being said you might want to make sure you all have at least some hail insurance. I bet you know all to well how the big white combine works, when the crops look good it wants to eat. Lol. Take care out there and stay safe!

Good to see a seeding video this year. Likewise, great to see rain at the south farm. Maybe, there will be a big harvest.

[Stephenandfaith]

Would love to go run some big farm equipment again. Watching the seeding gives me the itch.

Kochia works really well for Saline soil. I did that for several patches. Took a few years but we started getting crop to grow, besides barley or some canola. Let it grow till it starts making seed, swathed it, let it dry and burn.

[anthonybanda]

I'm in southern Michigan and we have smoke from the fires here as well. Has my sinuses all messed up. It's not nearly as bad as what you have but it's still hazy here .

[fredericdelage]

Magnifique fent 1167 a chenille et le semoirs est la cuve et les chanp et la pluie et sème direct 😮😊

[jacksonfirby]

I find Kochia grows very well in Saline areas Mike! You should try growing it.
