You make me miss working on a farm. The work, the people, and the culture is second to none, and the best in the world. By far the best place to raise a family. 🚜
We belong to the category sir that had the enourmous pleasure of having great fathers,I can tell your was great mine was great also, through good dads is that we learn to respect our elders and respect human beings period,honesty,integrity,earn credibility and give respect before we ask for it,let's raise good kids Kevin and keep passing the good teachings our daddies passed to us,,,,my regards to you from Wichita Kansas
your dad is getting it done that's why new idea was the best corn picker. we never had a corn picker we done all our ear corn by hand. take care, be safe and well.
We love watching farmer's using old school machines to pick corn 🌽 ... I get to teach my 6 year old Korean boy 👦 the American way of farming... then we watch everything Korean farmer's do in farming... at the same time we both learn each other's language... I talk Korean and he talks English... I tutor him in everything he wants to learn... he's very keen on everything, the season of what vegetables need picking, also what all needs to be done to the land... We would like to thank you for sharing your video with us 🇺🇸... we like yalls machines used in farming... thsnk you.
In '62 I bought an old IH two-row, cut 8" down the middle, make it a 32" picker, used it for years. Had the big model E Moline sheller, sold DeKalb seed, corn was my main business. Did a lot of custom shelling, We're in central MN, 90 and retired.
You guys have a very clean farm. Your equipment is amazing how well kept up it is. Hats off to your dad, just watch the video of him showing the balers. 20 plus years old and it looks like new!!
I love ear corn picking. Sure looks clean. The sounds takes me back. Dad had a pull type New Idea. Used the Kewanee 500. The best though was filling the crib with the upright elevator. Thanks
I remember being around 5 riding with my dad on my uncle's 770 Oliver with a mounted picker. We advanced from that to a 3 row new idea uni 701 when I was around 10. My uncle has been gone for a long time and my dad for over 3 years, thank you for the trip down memory lane!!!
Really one of the the best Farm-tuber videos I've seen in.a while . . . . sincerely. Beautiful day, beautiful scenery and crystal clear cinematography. I can relate to your scale. We have 150 registered Herefords, 200 acres of corn and 100 acres of hay ground. Use a JD 300 pull type picker here. Keep doing what you're doing.
Great videos . I enjoy the mounted picker and the drone shots are wonderful . I ran a 319 with husker for 20 years mounted on a JD 3020 , eventually adding the sheller . I hadn’t realized that there were so many mounted pickers still in use until checking out You Tube entries . Ground ear corn is still the best cattle feed .
Haha. We did the same thing only shelled corn. We ground and fed the ear corn to the milk cows and shelled corn was fed to the ewes and lambs. We had two New Idea pickers, one with a sheller.
Brings back memories. My Dad also had a Wood Bros. picker. Sometimes he’d have the neighbor pick with his M with mounted picker. We would set up circles of wooden snow fence for corn which wouldn’t fit in cribs. Thanks for video.
Those new idea pickers sure could pick the corn .We had a 2 row picker narrow row with the 12 roll husking bed . Dad brought it new in 1969 and used it every year till 1984 .We picked 40 acres of corn every year and did custom picking too with it.
WOW! I remember doing this back in the day. My dad seldom let me get on the picker. My job was getting the corn into the crib . . . which was some different than you had. We used a barn with a concrete floor. Once the corn built up to the elevator, I would be stuck in the barn with a fork to keep the corn moved back into the corners and edges. In that tin roofed barn midafternoon temperatures would approach 120 degrees inside the barn. Picking corn became one of my favorite seasons on the farm. To feed to the cows we would crush the corn, cobbs, shucks and all and the old cows loved it.
love those rolling hills we use to put up extra ear corn in round home made snow fence plles some times 2 or3 rings high and we would try an use it up by spring time also another great video great looking country side just like parts of Minnesota
Enjoying your videos. Absolutely love your simple way of Farming. Same way we do it. If you have a chance I would like to see more on the milking Side of the operation. Keep it up, thanks for the entertainment.
Just any idea I think you have hay basket wagons you can take snow fence and make a crib for corn too using the wagons. Thanks for the videos really love your farm.
Great video!! Brings back a lot of memories of growing up on a farm in Minnesota. My parents are gone now and the farm is no more but the memories last forever. God bless you.
Great video! Keep up the good work. So nice to see videos from a family farm. Also love that you guys are in WI too. My family farms to the east of you guys a ways, on the flatter ground. Not as scenic as your area though.
What a great video , looks like your corn turned out great this year... Love your farm too small but very nice and clean... Maybe a farm tour video sometime ??? Showing your barn, machine sheds and your tractors ... Keep up the great videos...
@@GierokFarms You could pick up a few silage boxes cheap and cut the tops off to fit your picker and you could unload without shoveling and fighting the gravity beds. They could also be used to feed silage or green chop in a bunk like a TMR wagon in off season or chopped into as extras. Gravity boxes are handy too for storing extra feed and what not.
@@GierokFarms a lot of times making stuff easier doesn't cost a fortune! I am one of those guys who does two plus person jobs himself so I'm always looking to make the job at hand more one operator friendly!
Awesome trip back to my childhood once again;) the neighbor must’ve been done with his corn, it was nice of him to loan you the big wagons. Anyway, will you bale up any of the stalks for bedding?
Is that an Owatonna elevator? We had an Owatonna and was very noisy until oiled or worked hard for a day or two. That screeching sound was pretty bad. We also ran a two-row picker on a IH 706 just to fill the cribs.
Beautiful drone footage. Hills remind me of my Grandparents place. We're on flat ground here. Glad corn harvest went well and there was a little extra corn. Take care.
Your farm reminds me of NE Iowa. I notice you have fields on side hills. Does it ever get scary when running a nf tractor without rops? I bet setting the rears wide like you’ve done helps. Great vids. Love the Olivers and IH’s. How many acres of corn to fill one of those wire cribs?
Great idea to store the excess corn in those boxes. It looks plenty dry to do that, noticed quite a bit of shelling. It should make it nice when you start to grind feed for the cows as well. I can remember making sno fence cribs when i had extra, but, you could not go more than two rings high at best, but, it was a cheap way of piling up some extra corn.
Glad to see someone else use snow fence to make a cheap crib for extra harvest.You could also tell if the corn was yeilding good when we had to put up a snow fence crib
I like your way of harvesting corn but how do you keep the vermin out of the corn whether from air or ground. You do a top job with your youtube channel thus now subscribed.
Just found your channel and love your content. Mounted pickers are really loud and dirty depending on the wind direction/field. We went to a pull type corn picker and my job was to unload into corn cribs etc. my daughters used to help after school. Not every day that you can pick corn without jackets in October in Wisconsin. We had dairy farm in southeast Wisconsin. Still the best way to raise kids and yes there was always a dog. Where in Wisconsin are you located?
Welcome, we are glad you found the channel! Pull type ones are nice too, like you said get you out of the dust! We are located in Western Wisconsin! Thank you so much for watching!
Great selection of tractors! Just found your channel and already love it! usually, I'm picky. So, a Super M, 1650! and a 504 or 656 on the picker? anyhow. How many acres do you run? We have approx 20-60 acres in SW, MI here of a blueberry orchard.
Without a doubt, the best music I have ever heard with a farming video. Impeccable timing of your cuts to the music too. Good Job.
It’s neat to see all this old equipment still in use.
Thanks for this video. Nice you had neighbors who shared their boxes.
You make me miss working on a farm. The work, the people, and the culture is second to none, and the best in the world. By far the best place to raise a family. 🚜
I agree!
Keep using John Deere equipment. God didn't make everything green and yellow, only the best!
I love seeing old equipment out in the fields being used today. A testament to our forefathers ingenuity!
My dad always said "Kids and Dogs belong on the farm" I miss my dad. Enjoy yours.
Thanks Kevin!
Amen to that. I miss my Dad too.
Amen to that

First time watching your videos, good harvest. God is good. God bless.

Thanks Wayne!
Awesome video
Thanks
We had a front mount corn picker , usually mounted it on a gas 400 👍
Great videos! I love seeing the classic American iron, especially in Packer Land! Keep up the good work!
Isn’t corn the most wonderful crop, gives me the shivers
Awesome!
Great video! Keep up the good work. So nice to see videos from a family farm. Also love that you guys are in WI too. My family farms to the east of you guys a ways, on the flatter ground. Not as scenic as your area though.
Thanks Mike!
Fascinating, I've never seen anything like that before :)
Thank You!
You should consider looking into finding a couple Parker grain wagons I hear they make large wagons
Great job..just finished up my corn picking also
Nice!
U! ar! Blessed!
U need! 1 Combines! machine! New Holland! or! John DEERE!
How many bushes do the small wagons hold great drone shots 🌽👍🇺🇸😃
Those hillsides look pretty steep..
You Bet LOL
What a great video , looks like your corn turned out great this year... Love your farm too small but very nice and clean... Maybe a farm tour video sometime ??? Showing your barn, machine sheds and your tractors ... Keep up the great videos...
If I had extra corn that i didnt need for grinding, I got nieghbors to combine it and sell out of field, no need to shell in the fall. Just a thought.
Another great video!!!
Thank You Noah!
Just subscribed! Cool to see this stuff still going
Welcome and Thanks for watching!
Great video!!
Love that you use the old tractors. Great video. New sub here.

@@GierokFarms the drone is the ticket, just got one for my channel
@@fitzpreacherfarm6826 Makes a pretty video!
I liked the video. It brings back a lot of memories from my kid years. Would I be right in thinking you grind a lot of ear corn for feed?
Yup here is a video of it th-cam.com/video/n7fMWpvlWTc/w-d-xo.html

You could lower your elevator and put it inside of silage wagons if necessary.
That's a good idea!

I thought that we were the only ones left on wide row corn. Thanks from Canada
Heck yeah welcome, Thanks for watching!
Awesome Drone shots 👍
Do the open sided bins not get damp during the Winter? Or are you lucky enough to have dry cold winter's? (Minus the snow)
Don't really have a problem with the corn getting wet in that storage system!

How many acres do you farm? Do rotate crops? Thanks for sharing a part of your life.
could you show us a what you feed each animal
On Wisconsin!
I know I’m from Wisconsin but I never seen a machine like that only with a pull type that pick off the corn that’s cool
Thanks Levi!
I think just about every manufacturer had one for their tractors. I had a 237 John Deere mounted on a 70 diesel.
@@danw6014 Sounds like a nice setup!
@@GierokFarms it would have been better to have an LP 730 to mount and leave the picker on. Yours looks like it's in really great condition.

What county is the farm in ???
How many elavater rides can some ears of corn get.
I was wondering how you put all those corns into that round thing, and it is so high
Waw...keren
do you shell any of the extra out and sell it? thats what I did with my extra this year it payed well
Some times we have a combine come in for a couple acres and put it in our grainery!
