Planting Maize. Ploughing, cultivating and drilling

- We have GPS and autosteer in our tractors here in the states. We use 35 to 80 feet planters.
- I notice there are no birds following the plough like there used to be when I was a child (1970's). Is that because the soil is sterile? I note that agri-business people use Round-Up, so I am guessing this has killed all the soil flora and fauna?
Jak dla mnie dość ciekawe, web content mining , może też być przydatne. - Hey, thanks for the video. It's been interesting to the operator's equipment of choice and how he uses it.
- Good modernize equipment with less stress really love the video display
- Neat! I'd never seen one of those crumblers in action before. You lot have a different way of doing things than we do, it's interesting to watch. We'd typically run a disk harrow over it, then a field cultivator or other finisher. Interesting too, how many different impliments are 3 point mounted over there vs here. We'd likely not even be able to get into many of your fields with our equipment, given all the hedges and stone fences. Just goes to show- form follows function!
- This is very cool! Thanks for posting it. I wish more people could see how this stuff happens!
- yuo plant  only mais ? never barley ?
- Can you please tell me which company equipment are used here?, i need all the details please help me to find this agri equipment.
i need it.
- That's ok
- What seed did you plant?
- how many cows you have
- Hey Funkyfarmer, its been a while since I commented on your videos. They way you guys farm across the pond just blows my mind compared to the way we farm in the US. Just the size of the equipment and the way you approach working the soil is so different. I don't think I have seen anyone use a rototiller in a field. Interesting though that you use Pioneer seeds. Hopefully you have a good season. We planted our corn and soybeans about 2 weeks ago and are coming up nicely.
- Do you grow the same variety or do you experiment?
- TGF BEN
yes we did 2 fields again this year
- Nice video :)
- Only one field this year??
Thought you normally have 2.
Either way a great video a bit of every thing
- Fantastic video! Does all that grass grow over winter? And why do you use contractors rather than buying your own kit? Thanks
- Very nice there! Down here in Dorset we have planted already but our maize down here hasn't germinated yet, I'll be popping up to Yorkshire next week and I'll have a look at how farming differs
- Awesome video Richard! Nice gear.
- Is all your cultivation, planting and harvesting done by a contractor? I think that you said that in a past video.  Where I come from in Canada contract or custom work is not too common.
