Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos. You can also find me on Facebook borderviewfarms and on Instagram @borderviewfarms

Driving across Nebraska and Colorado on Monday June 24th, temperatures were up to 107 - 109, felt like a blast furnace. Lot of pivots running on corn and alfalfa fields in Colorado. Crops generally looked good. You know its hot when the early evening temp is 90 degrees and that feels very good.
It's great to see the combined in action again
Good morning, looks like rain and more rain there.......
I'll take it
Morning Nathan we live in Middlebury In we just harvested 75-80 bushel wheat now we are double croping
Anna is the best. Thanks for the iPhone!: :D
So happy you have good wheat yields this year
Good morning. Good first day. 😎🇺🇸
Good Morning
Rain takes a lot of work off yall
Hope yall can expand that as you can
Perfect timing for the shirt reveal. Wear it proudly Nathan, your yields are amazing!
It's not my design. Just one that I bought.
Great day!
Hello Nathan, you're going to surpass us in wheat yield, especially this year. and double crop. In France, some people were unable to sow anything, no wheat in the autumn, no sunflowers, little corn, in short, it's too late now, it's going to stay fallow, because there's no soya here.
We had excessive rain from the beginning of autumn 2023, then all winter, well until now. As a result, many farmers weren't able to finish sowing before winter, and some sowed in the mud. And in spring it rained every 2-3 days until now. Suitable wheat is now diseased, even with 3 fungicides. Another plague There are many ryegrasses and other grasses that resist the best foliar and even root weedkillers.
The problem in France is the environmentalists who have many molecules banned and withdrawn, and no registration for new products. We're off to a bad start, with farmers angry at Brussels for imposing directives and technocrats who want to ignore the realities on the ground. Good harvest . Daniel, old farmer near Orléans, south Paris . France🚜
Numbers sound awesome Nathan. Harvest '24 is a go!
We had a Sterling truck that had a very fine fin radiator and the only way we could clean it out was with a 3 in fire hose, not much pressure but a lot of water to push through the fins, you could try with your transfer pump, we had to remove all the coolers in front to get a good shot at the radiator
That was fun! Thanks Nathan!
Nice video Nathan...............
Great crop. Thanks for sharing
Great start to harvest. We just finished yesterday here in northern Oklahoma.
Good morning and may God bless you even more than he has.
Been helping harvesting wheat the past few days and baling straw, feels like it never ends! 98 bushel an acre average on the wheat here.
Did you get Phil some dinner ?
Dam nice wheat 🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾
Ought to be a great year for double crop .
Hopefully you didn't get to much wind this morning.
Glad you had a good opening day.
I offered
Finally wheat harvest here by Findlay ohio and good wheat crops yield over 100 bu ac
Good morning
22 kernels per square foot = 1 bushel per acre. 1million kernels per bushel.
110 bushels is fantastic!
Kudos on the 100+bu/ac wheat Nathan, that is definitely amber waves of grain 😎take care
I work at the Berkey Deere location. We’ve been under construction with the new shop and building so I’ll admit inventory has been everywhere the last year. It’s a struggle for us employees too unfortunately
Hopefully by the time the storms that hit Grand Rapids this morning eased up before hitting you guys this morning, it definitely wasn't kind to wheat
The stripper head works well in higher moisture wheat. If it is really dry not so much. Over here in southwest lower michigan neighbor farmer has one. You can really move thru the wheat.
iPhone tip: Double tap zooms in. Double tap with two fingers, and it zooms out.
You had the same issue of the combine screen locking up last year. When you didn’t run your John Deere software on the iPad you didn’t have any issues with the combine screens. Looks like they haven’t fixed the issue yet.
That right. I remember the same thing happening, I forgot the connection to the connect mobile on the iPad. Thanks
Saw a Rain 360 unit here west side of Albert Lea, MN. Know the farmer that runs the land! It is not running as the area has had excess rain.
Where in Albert Lea mn.

Congrats. Today you harvested more wheat than Welkers will all year.LOL.Unfortunately you also paid more for your grain cart than they did their entire fleet. You don't need yield when your a infomercial for Case or Deere
They spend money at a 20 bushel wheat crop so they can survive the dry years. Good years they invest in bins etc. They did say this in a video. I'm not a fan of the advertising because is spoils the channel. I watched Milennial farmer since he started and remember the excitement at 50k subs. But now the content and quality are awful and it's constant advertising so I don't watch him anymore. I know the money is tempting but same with Brian he used to be my favourite can't remember the last time I watched him. I look for new small channels that are for more interesting. Tje amateur camera work and editing make them fun too.
Watching your figures as you work I find that 130 bushel / acre roughly translates to about 3.5 ton / acre - quite respectable in my view.
Is there a specific reason why the crop is drilled on 10 inch rows(apart from the obvious one that what your drill plants!)
There is an old farmer adage that perhaps applies to your crop in places which says :- ("A poor crop never fell over [became laid]")
Dan
10 as opposed to what? Used to do 7.5 but the air seeder we bought is 10" spacing. No noticeable difference between the two.
Great video, thoughts on the new JD CTO
Excellent wheat crop! What accounted for the increased yield in the section you mentioned?
Uhhhh to have 100bu wheat! We wouldn’t know what to do with it! To even get 50 tp 80 bu wheat would be an enormous year for us! Saskatchewan draught has gone too long! But so far this year the tap hasn’t shut off and has blessed us with significant moisture so far!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sickle seems like it has more chatter than normal. Did you adjust the hold downs and make sure it was center wen u slid it back in. If I remember right I think the ipad is the reason for the display freezing up
Apple is the best lol 😂
not shaming you any just saying what the farm did i worked on when they had wet wheat we just dropped it in a bin and put a fan on it and used the heat from the weather to dry with
Yeah not really my call. If it was 15% or less I think we'd do that but at 16.5-17 probably needs a little heat.
Everyone I've talked that has run a stripper head says rhey lose too much. The header has a huge loss. I've talked to farmers and custom harvest guys that have used them.
🇨🇦
I remember this spring you were having problems with volunteer wheat. Are you using the same volunteer wheat reseeder that you used to combine wheat with last year??
What combine do you suggest that will have no volunteer wheat behind it when the straw was windrowed?
Chester chicken
Charlie Biggs
Do you till or disk before double cropping your beans ?
No
Don’t you think the rain irrigation process is more efficient and uses less water?
Yes a lot more efficient
Googled stripper, head as you suggested, got a shock with results 😂
Lol should have phrased that better I suppose
I notice you are not advertising the brand of wheat seed this year?
I kinda dropped the ball on working out the detail on that. Still might happen
I am very curious why you run your system at the remote location off a generator. This has to cost more than buying power from the utility. Right?
Rural utility companies work at government speed. 2025.
@@Noname77331... You tell him
It probably would be cheaper if the electric company would get off their ass and do the hookup.But you know the line guys have to take a 45 minute break every hour to chat ,drink coffee, and smoke. Around my area the only guys with a better break schedule are cops l Probably why we have a Dunkin on every corner.
Cost to install feed to farm is prohibitive. Co-op doesn't subsidize like others and their draw over the year doesn't give them much incentives. All in payback to grid them up is too far out. Plus you don't have the monthly bills the other 8-9 months the sites idle
For 3 phase the monthly minimum is probably quite high and how many months out of the year do they need the power there?
A stripper does not work at all in down crop.
I think the pro's like to run out of stock because they want you to wait 3 days. The only good thing I can say is wheat cuts easily.
Still a sweet combine & tractor
Good Morning
