vue - Cultivating - Farming the old fashioned way
Sometimes there's nothing wrong with the old fashioned way of farming. By cultivating, you don't release the harmful chemicals into the environment that most farmers overuse these days.

Ryan, just a thought you may appreciate if you continue to row crop cultivate. We put spikes on the planter in the wheel track rows, and when cultivating switched the steer tires to single rib tires. That spiked row held the steer axle right in place and made cultivating less stressful. It works really well. Pretty easy to nod off after a half dozen hours of cultivating, lol...

With this method, couldn't you just avoid spraying altogether to save even more on chemical cost? More importantly, Thanks for being a farmer..
-
I remember when this was commmon practice.
-
what's your row spacing?
-
do yall still use this system

I am a city girl and have no experience farming. I watch your vlog so that I can understand how the farming community works. It’s fascinating. I had taken it all for granted. Thank you for sharing a world I’ve never known. I was shocked at how precise you are with the tractor to not rip out the plants. Did you sacrifice a few rows when you were learning to drive? I’m sure you learned to drive a tractor at quite a young age. I hear that’s common.

man i would give anything to be a farmer

As an organic farmer it's nice to see conversation farmers use our "technology".
-
why strip farming
-
THA'S THE BEST WAY TO GIVE THE PANT ALL SPACE AND POWER TO GROW BESIDE SPRAYING later on. healthy green colour.

Glad to see your still cutivating. Back in the 60s and 70s I was using a 2 row, side attached JD cultivator mounted on a JD 60.
The JD 10 series was the new state of the art tracors. Like 1010 2010 3010 4010. 4 row cultivators were available. -
Love the S-tine cultivator. One of my favorite things to run. They get a little problematic when you put them in black dirt on a 260 horse tractor though.

Please don't ride on the tractor step it's DANGEROUS!
-
congratulations,for the next vid dress up like a real farmer
-
good looking soil
-
What I believe is old fashioned cultivating is using a mounted cultivator from the early/mid 1900's.
-
Why spray at all doesnt this add humas to soil and reduce amount of fertilazer? I dont know
-
How wide are the corn and bean strips?Is the strip farming a common practice in your area?Where do you guys see the advantages compared to farm whole fields with one crop?

Ryan... Check out my channel for some old school cultivating with a 1948 Minneapolis Moline, with a original mounted 2row cultivator.
