Red Combine Vs. Green Canola (NOT GOOD)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- It's time to finally tackle the problematic canola. New growth spurred on by strong late season rains has created a nasty mess. Our fault for not harvesting sooner. Can we salvage the little that is out there?

my wife seen some one dumping by us. she got their linence plate. she knew some one who would look it up got their address. so another friend delivered it back to them right on their lawn. he was a big guy. so he knocked on the peoples door. he said you guys lost something. lots of work with the cleaning but sounds like it is worth it.
Congratulations to whomever is filming and editing your videos, fabulous opening with the drone footage and the music. The endless fields, the "BIG SKY" the monster tractor and the perfect music all add up to a feast for both the eyes and ears. You guys are getting as good as a Hollywood movie. Very professional!! Thanks..
We've been doing our best lately to really raise the bar on the cinematics! Thanks for the kind words!
@@WelkerFarms You've definitely done a great job because even I kept noticing how beautiful this video was.
PRAISE THE LORD, bud. =D
Well done lads. Been thinking about doing this in NZ.💪🇳🇿🇺🇲
Well said, I was thinking the same thing! Great videos, great content, wonderful family. I watch them all the time, while running nights in oilfields of Nd.
@@WelkerFarms Yeah this years videos are a big upgrade from last years. Including the quality and the editing.
We’ve had trouble in the past with canola not ripening off properly. Last year we desiccated it and it worked a treat no trouble with green stems and pods. All the best with seeding lads.
Love that Nick did the pre-op grease and checks on the combine for Mr. Welker. RESPECT
Your machines and your country out there never ease to make my jaw drop in awe. God bless.
Sending prayers that everything is going your way. Stay safe and be healthy. God Bless.
Thanks for the prayers David, God bless!
It’s amazing how wide open it is where y’all farm & live. I don’t think there’s anywhere around where I live in Western Kentucky that you won’t see trees and bushes.
My Nonna (Grandma) tells me storys about the farm all the time but my Nonno (grandfather) died before I meet him 25 years ago and I am 12 so a while before I was born. My Great grandparents had horses on there farm my Nonna (grandma) tells me about that too. So Robert I love hearing history it is very interesting to hear the stories of your older generations. God Bless do not stop what your doing it is incredible I would love to visit after the pandemic.
We call that: Value added service/logistics. But that"s actually all you try to do. Well done! Blessings on the winterwheat.
Great to see you all banding together and getting it done even when the outcome of harvest wasn’t the best. Keep up the good work and stay positive for the next one!
My Grandpa and his brothers all left southern MN to homestead outside of Inverness in 1911 same year that Dad's Great Uncle did! Wow, small world.
When I was on our old horse farm the number of animals dumped on us was astounding. I even came home one day to two extras horses in one of our back fields.
The Cornstar family jammed their combine twice in a recent video. Still too green issues in Iowa too.
That went crazy well, great call on using that separator!!!!
I thought for a second you guys were making a silage video. The combine scene reminded of unloading silage out of old barge wagons into a belted Allis Chalmers blower into the silo. That truckload of cleanings as well. Stay healthy!
Me too
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob And me
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. As always, thanks.
Well, you all are having a busy busy time to get harvest over with for the year. Never saw a combine plugged that bad, wow!!! That took a bit to get cleaned out. That’s farming for you. Oh my. Your cleanedid a great job on the seed. The truck you dumped the trailings in was almost full. Your cleaner did a great job!!! Busy busy time getting all these jobs done so you can call harvest done.
How about one of the battery powered grease guns. The gun you used is what we used. Got the job done. Thanks for taking us along today. Was great. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Thanks Steve 👍
Hope 2022 is better. Thank you guys for showing how to get thru the tuff times and making do with what you have. Even with all your You Tube success you guys aren’t running out and a buying bunch of new equipment like some channels.
What an old timer said deep rip on dry years but wet years makes the ground hard and that here in the Texas Panhandle.
Great video and I like how you use this screen screener to clean out the extra weed seeds from the canola
Glad to see you were able to salvage some of the canola crop. Hope the winter wheat crop is a success.
We've heard a lot of green in our soybeans. Seems the beans mature but the bottom of the stem is green and messes up the combine. Great job on the canola. I love watching you guys and your dad...your videos are awesome!
Tough go on the canola, hopefully next year is better. Got to hate litter, I find enough to do without picking up after someone else. God bless guys
Oh, the never-ending hassles of farming.
The canola may not be up to expectations, but at least Welker farms can say something was made from it. 😀
Thank you for your videos I am recuperating from Covid and this is the normal 20 minutes of my day. Thank you keep up the great work
Great video guys and it’s nice to see some of your hard work going into your bins. Big buds are looking lovely as always and ready for work. Keep smiling guys. Rob from the 🇬🇧
Hi Nick, put the flytippers on camera so as to name and shame them, if everyone just threw their rubbish wherever they fancied what a terrible mess our countrysides would be. Canola doesn't look so bad mate, you just gotta do what you have to do sometimes my friend, all the best from the UK.
I LOVE to hear the history of the farm. @BobWelker I wonder what your great uncle would say about the tractors & implements you have today.
It would be hard to absorb all this tech
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I live in Amish farm country(PA), they use horses-no tractors to pull plows & implements, just like back in the early days. They never have to worry about fuel prices or government juice!
15:38 As long as you don't need as much motor-oil as you need fuel... 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
glad to see your seed cleaner working on a new option. This will be a money saver long term.
I used to run a big cleaner for a university and one rule of thumb was that if something rises to the surface of the flow of seed, it can be cleaned out. Most likely with air.
Sometimes just running it a second time can make a drastic difference. Particularly at the volume they are having come out of the discharge.
Good to know. I’m guessing one pass was enough at this point in time.
Let the green dry down and then clean it again with the blower fan running on the cleaner . Once the moisture disappears so should some of the weight so the fan on the cleaner will lift is out a lot easier.
That's where farming gets tough and you guys still make it look like fun. God bless you
I agree it's a mess. Move it ASAP!!!! I wish you all the best on moving that canola
Glad you got the green material out....ours was growing like crazy around the swaths...just a bit of blossoms and green plant came in...not to bad
Apparently you are the authority on growing Canola Tyson. I've seen a few comments directing people to you channel for "the right way" to harvest haha.
@@justinmurray4397 lol..I'm no expert but I know a thing or two...kinda haha
Ah so this is the expert the comments were referring me to 😂
@@WelkerFarms haha
@@Northern_Farmer if I had canola questions, you’d be the first person I’d ask.
Life’s newest slogan:
Don’t be lazy! Work like a Welker!
That would be a great slogan for a tee!
Enjoyed watching and listening to your dad’s commentary 👍
Sure glad you folks got that cleaner/grader setup last year or two, but I got say it was fantastic to see Scot walking his machine around the yard, people say boys and their toys but that there was a man and his gear... I can see the t-shirts now! Hint, Hint. I sure wished we could have seen them young ones playing soccer, but understand why not, the thought did put a grin on this old face. God Bless you folks.
Nick, couple another 18" hose to the one on the gun and you'll be amazed how nice a 3' hose is
Youve planted the canola quite sparsely. In Sweden where i live we plant it more dense. An old saying is that you should plant canole so dense that a cat can walk on it when its done for harvest. We seed about 50 - 80 seeds per squaremeters depended of variety. Are you certain that you havent got two different varieties in seed? In Sweden we have spring and fall/winter canola.
It wasn't that it was too light. It was the drought....we had less than 7 inches and only 3 during growing seasin
I cant say enough how much I enjoy watching your videos. I sure hope there is a farm history video coming soon.
We do have an early tribute video on the channel from a while back if you're interested!
Great video hope you are all doing good.👍❤️
I love hearing stories history that pops tells very interesting!
Thank goodness you were able salvage some. Love your channel and God Bless all of you.
18:11, as much greasing as you folks do on the farm, I figured you'd be using a battery powered grease gun such as the Milwaukee one.
It’s a game changer
Perhaps that is how Scott got the name Leg Arms.
How do you avoid bursting seals and letting dust get in when using a powered gun?
@@wssides Good point! I never thought of that. I've only used the powered ones to service our work semi trucks.
Why would dust get in just because its battery operated? Or do you mean because you blow seals? I thought one of the ways of seeing its greased is to see a litle bit of grease go out around the seal?
If you guys continue growing canola you need a swather, pickup and swath roller. Most of us up north have dealt woth that a lot lol and it gets swathed and left to rippen
if you're going to keep doing canola, I would recommend going to northern farmers channel and watching his old canola vid's. You may want to get a couple swathers, and pickup headers for the combines. Maybe you could turn one of the old JD combines into a swather, if they still run. That seems to be the only way to get canola to dry down. You'll still have to dry it though.
The Northern farmers have separate varieties. All the old ones are much best swathed to reduce shelling out while there are several newer ones that were developed that are intended to be straight cut. In a situation like the Welkers faced, they also would have been swathed up North. The grain cleaner made straight cut doable with difficulty. Would have been a very long job with a normal volume yield.
You can also swath the straight cut varieties...just depends on your situation..lots of guys are seeding pod shatter reduction canola..just to be able to swath it riper
I love your guy's content so much! You guys should make more videos especially of harvest cause those are like the best videos ever and whenever you guys are in the field doing something! I have been watching your guys videos for the past couple year's now and I have liked every video of yours! I am 15 years old and your guy's videos are the best part of my day! God bless stay strong boys ill catch ya in the next one!
Thank you forthose very kind words. Blessings to you
Thanks so much for the comment, we really appreciate it!
21:19 Walk your conveyor daily and it will always be happy to see you.
😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your dad with us
Watched a few farming videos over the years, stayed with you and Sonne farms, only!.
Thank you 👍
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob no, we thank you. You are all worth watching.
Good to see that you were able to salvage a few bushels of Canola. Something is better than nothing, I think.
Just like in the song "Alice's Restaurant", when I was on a town board, I found a pile of trash dumped at a town property. I poked around a little, and sure enough there was an envelope with the name and address. I gave it to the police, who went to see the person, and got them to pick it all up while being watched.
Haha now that's one way to get the job done 😂
NEW FARMERS NEED TO WATCH AND LEARN FROM YOU. GOOD JOB.
Amazing effort Welkers! You should be proud.
I had to laugh when Nick pulled out the Duct tape aka..The handyman's secret weapon. Now I know how to get things done. Great video.
Threshing still in mode!!
That is a lot of green material! I’ve never seen that much green in seed before.
1:03 Nick can't play hide and seek. Still can see your legs hahah
I would have loved to have seen a video of the chewing out the litterer got.
It was Scott dumping the Canola waste.🚛
I wanted to see Nick yell at the trespasser!
Yeah, get them on film too, disrespectful people gotta a bloody cheek dumping rubbish on other peoples land!
Great video! Good mix of "a day in the life of a farmer". Saw baby Sky and siblings at the carousel. Didn't want to say anything since we haven't been formally introduced but it looked like they were having a blast! Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing, and God bless!
We'll need to touch base soon👍
BIG Brute HAS LEGS! Lol I love the opening drone shot with.. iam guessing nick trying to stay out of the shot by operating the drone from behind big brute, but you can see his legs sticking down right in the middle of big brute as if he grew them. :D
Oh no! Our LegBrute project has been leaked to the public 😂
Great video like always guys, you guys should ask the neighbours if they want the graded crap from the canola plenty of cattle feed
To the untried, unschooled folks that are just sitting back armchair quarterbacking and have never been involved in anything bigger than mowing their grass this is a good lesson.. no matter how automated or modern we get every farm has a certain amount of hand labor from time to time some more often than not some hardly at all but we are not sitting around pushing buttons here
Suggestion for the head bumper issue on the Brute...run a curved pipe down to the ladder like a grab bar. I can't tell from the video how much space is available.
Great that you guys never give up. There is always a way!!!
Great job cleaning Your canola Welkers
I saw where you're being pulled and doing some deep ripping could you show more of that please look very interesting a lot of horsepower being used really enjoy your channel dirt man from Virginia out
Absolutely! It's coming soon, possibly this weekend.
Interesting about the great uncle that homesteaded the land. How many acres were originally homesteaded? Your ancestors would be proud!
Seed cleaner was a great investment! Great drone footage and fantastic editing. Work safe Welker's!
I'll do a historical vid soon
Careful Robert she could be an IRS mole preparing to audit you? Haha!
You know people are tillage farmers when they're not sure where their forks are :D ;)
Can you make a complete maintenance video of when you winterize the combine? I think that would be pretty interesting to see
Will add this to our list of potential video ideas. Thanks for the suggestion, David!
I see Colorado Forecast for Next week and Ya better be planting! I love the Big Buds!👍👍
Gettings from the Uk - well done the Welker Family
Here in Canada we swath the canola let it dry then combine it, not straight cut it.
spraying works too but swathed is best
Great video Fellows, persistence always achieve results Happy end of Harvest 2021 Regards & Best wishes Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
Really like the drone footage, hope to see more
More epic drone footage coming today!
I’d love to hear the story of your family homesteading. 👍
Coming
You service the combine for dad AND Colby. Have it ready to run for them.
If cas IH could build a combine round baler combo they would get a jump on the green combines.
This year has seemed like a fight for every little bit. Just keep going!
Are you that actor who plays a friendly neighbor?.......😁
Wow never grows old looking at those beautiful views of your farm. I heard Big Bud is in the Guinness Book of World record, biggest tractor
I THINK THAT GRAIN CLEANER JUST PAID FOR ITSELF.
Congratulations guys! Harvest 2021.
Legarms eats his cereal with no milk! - lol
Never seen such a diversified farm !! If it grows the Welkers will plant it !!!!!
Garbage dumping on farms a big problem in the UK, but we have 65 million people in an area smaller than Montana ( population 1.1 million !)
Cornstar farms is also dealing with a green harvest. Wonder whats causing it to be dry ready and yet still green
You guys should hire someone to swath it next time. It can sit in the snow and you can harvest it once the greens are gone.
Nice video as always. You guys are the best channel out there. God Bless
The green part of the harvest looks like it would be good cattle feed or chicken feed.
Hmmm interesting idea!
It takes a lot of canola to fill up a combine. I learned that off of farming simulator. Keep the videos coming and be safe
Combine looked like a silage chopper instead of a combine. Lol
It’s a good day when you can drive your unloaded elevator over to the gas pump and fill it! Love it!
Enjoyed.
At least you can get a pitch fork in there. Mitchell is digging by the handful.
"It is super moist", well, yes, it is. It's green still. :P
Atta boy Nick. I have those kind of people, have them around here as well.
It might seem silly but, have you thought about running it through the cleaner a second time? It might clean up even more.
If you take some grease and pack in on the plunger prior to screwing it back on, you won't have all that "air" and very little "priming" is needed.
Agree, thanks
An old saying over here "necessity is the mother of invention" think the Welker family prove that time an time again 👍👍
Glad to see U made it to the end of the harvest with all well and good ;-}
You guys are incredible! Long live the family farm!!!!!!!!
Brute's front tires looking a little smooth there Nick.
that green stuff looks like super good feed >_>
That cleaner is worth its weight in Gold. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Lol canola should dry down easily in the bin with airation at 12% ha ha. See how that goes. That stuff can heat in the bin at 9% sometimes. Mine was 8% this year and I leave the fan on because I’m so paranoid about canola, it can heat on you so easily if you don’t watch out because it’s so tight. Good luck.
@Welker Farms @Robert Welker I have just gone through all the comments Robert commented on and Welker Farms commented on and liked. It took 46 minutes and majority said that you should swarth the canola and asked if you will use it for seed or grow it next year.
