blue collar, farmer, trucker, mechanic, that believes Jesus the Christ is Lord (far from perfect, working to be better every day) DryBonesAg. says it as it is.
@kowalchukfarms1 I would love to demo a used header or used drill. Mainly to see of it will work for our machines. Canโt afford new but we can do used. And it would be an upgrade for our operation. Unfortunately they donโt seem as interested in getting used equipment field ready for a maybe
@CRToney2 Had worked for past number of years here. But this year i have found it has had very poor results. Even with experimenting with water volume and pressure, as well as droplet sizes. All have the same result this year, next to nothing
@MYPrecisionAg I believe they say field ready if it can do like 100 acres without issue. When I worked at a dealer on hay equipment they would call it field ready with worn out chains. But i went though the whole unit as if it were mine and I was making it good for the season.
@SawyerWhisler Most organic farms I know except for a couple have completely left that system. Not enough yield and not enough weed control to make it work. Most of The guys still doing it are running old paid for equipment and arenโt worried about how much they yield
@VoyceReason Unfortunately that is not accurate. And you are miss-informed. The reality is there has been a high neglect of what is best for our country for a decade and we are seeing the results of this. Donโt forget to ask questions, and not be redirected by our mediaโs interpretation
@kowalchukfarms1@TorkWhisler What many donโt realize is a call out for a repair is $200+/hr if I value my time at $50/hr I can work 4 hrs for a call-outs1 hr. Still save money and technically doesnโt cost anything because most shops have a minimum call out.
@kowalchukfarms1@tpotwilson We have land near us that sold for $600k per 1/4 and we havenโt had a crop for at least 5 years due to drought. I donโt know how guys are paying that kind of money for land or getting the financing for it.
@kowalchukfarms1 I can see it both ways. Monette is a huge operation therefore huge risk. If you have good cash flow projections that are realistic or even planning for large dips I think they will still get loans. Monette could take a lesson from legacy farmer for financial management
