Today I’m back in Bede, Manitoba, Canada with farmer Marty Voth. He walks me through the different ways his John Deere baler uses twine and wrap to secure hay bales. Marty introduces me to his Massey Ferguson Combine, the benefits of older machinery for smaller farming, some moisture testing for his freshly harvested oats with the 1955 Labtronic testing apparatus, and a final farm conversation about his bearded wheat field.
This week farmer John invites me out to the farm to do some seeding. He teaches me about some older machinery, that works for him like a charm. We discover more about the John Deere hoe drill, and how it all works. “Goes Pretty Straight” Is all the GPS farmer John needs! See how winter wheat can begin germinating in as little as 24 hours.
