Harvesting Wet Corn

- We spent the morning fixing the slide under the sump in the Sukup grain bin before heading out to field to harvest wet corn. The combine is spitting out corn and we can't figure out why. Ended our day early with rain.

I don’t know what has brought me to your channel. I was born and raised in a small farm town in Wisconsin. I now live in Chicago and hate every second of it. Watching your videos really makes me feel like I’m back home. I’ve also forwarded videos to friends down here to show them what real farming is really like. So thank you. Keep it up
Awesome, thank you for the kind words!!

I have never lived in a town bigger than mine population 400 but I live 65 miles from Chicago and I wouldn't want to live one inch closer !
My name is bob

The best farm channel on TH-cam
I'd say that's pushing it, but thank you!
Yup
MN Millennial Farmer we just started corn today up here in Ontario 27-28 percent so we are good to go lol so many beans out here yet too and hardly any winter wheat has been planted yet such an odd harvest so far hopefully the weather smartens up sometime we had a dry summer and just when everyone was ready to go it rained every day today was first dry day in 2 weeks
@@MillennialFarmer The rate you are gaining subscribers you will be the highest subscribed farming channel in no time.
Brad Hessels from Ontario yet we’ve picked some corn and some beans but rained for 4 days so everything’s wet for beans lots of late.
Corn
3:51 “oh that is so stupid!” Classic farmer statement when fixing something 😂
Your channel is so darn informative and interesting!!
Thank you for sharing the videos!!
So nice to see the daily reality of your operation. Than you as always!
3:50 couldn’t stop laughing at “oh that’s so stupid!” haha sounds like my father
Lmao that was great
I'm really glad that I'm not the only one everything breaks on 😅
Those who farm understand that things don't always go well thanks for showing the real thing and not just showing the good days. thx for being real
Oh gee Nate. How’s your apple? Oh not bad Josh. How’s your apple? Not bad 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
These people deserve our never ending respect for the work they do ...to provide the food to feed a nation
I think I would die laughing if they gave a price on October Cab Corn as a joke in the morning reports.
I watch about every video..I like the humor and how you humble yourself....
Wow. Great vid as always. Glad to see Ila is well.
Really like how you show when you have issues and what you do to resolve them. Your channel is by far my favorite and I check every day for new videos.
Just want to say thank you for bringing modern day farming to fruition. Love watching and keep them coming. Been watching from the start
All of America just thinks, put the tractor in the field and go. Not that simple. Wish you guys a good harvest! Good luck this year and god bless . You guys aren't newbys, im sure you got it!
I'm pretty sure no one thinks that
I love your Channel! But I love how you slow down and diagnose things!! You don’t get worked up, or anything! That’s how I am at work!! Great job guys 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great vid Josh. It’s clear to me now the challenges facing farmers during harvest. I always sensed it was a busy time but boy, so many factors come into play during harvest. Thanks and best of luck going forward cheers
"Do I go to one or two?" "Yes"
technically, eventually it is yes to both.
Right as I read that comment he said that 😂
Thanks for the video. I grew up in a farming community in Illinois but not on a farm. All of my summers were spent working for local farmers. I spent many years in the grain elevator/Farm Center. This video took me home. Keep it up!!
Grew up on a small farm in Ireland and I love this. Everything was done by small tractor Massey Ferguson or by hand back in the day . I’m addicted to your channel. I shared on twitter for 4th of July so folks actually appreciate where they’re corn comes from. Stay safe out there and keep up the great work. Beautiful family and I’m sure there’s a lot goes on behind the scenes to make this happen .Happy Independence Day.
I mainly think this is the best yt channel because the way u explain everything. It also helps that you are the main man in the operation at least that’s the way it seems. You have an explanation for everything
watching from Minneapolis Minnesota best farm TH-cam channel ever
Again Zach, Tremonti is an excellent band to listen to for harvest. Really amps you up!!!
Atta boy Zach. Love your narration and editing. Top stuff!
Raining here so harvest is on delay so I guess I’ll sit back and watch some MN Millennial Farmer!!!
Like again. You bring a good meaning/connotation to Millennial.
I’m gaining gobs of respect for you guys, man there is a lot to farming. Please be safe. Tag out lock out boys.
Keep up the good work man and good luck with harvesting. May the yields be ever in your favor
im originally from South Dakota but I'm away from home for the navy. These videos help remind me of home, keep up the good work!
I love your channel. Keep up the awesome work. I learn something new with every video because they are so informative.
Sweet! Always love videos on a Friday
I enjoyed the interaction with your dad and the others working on your crew. great how you managed to give us a really good over all view of your day on the harvest. thanks for doing what you do for those of us are enjoying the ride along.
From one farmer to another.
Great job! Keep up the good work
When I grow up I want to help my grandpa farm and I hope I will love it as much as you do
Growing up with the noise and the lights of the city, I always WANTED to trade this life for farming. Unfortunately it's too expensive out here in the Northeast.
I play Farming Simulator games, and they are a lot of fun, but nowhere near as accurate as what you have to do every day. As a side note, m young daughter like to watch me play and pretend she's riding along too.
You are the perfect example of the modern farmer, I am glad I stumbled upon this channel, and now I am here for life.
I am in my late 40's, and my days of being "fit" are well behind me. I may never get to farm, so at least I can live that life through your videos.
One more thing, in a country where farming is a dying art, and many are selling out... God bless you and your family, and everything you guys do. You are what keeps America alive.
Great video. Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing
Your channel is growing like crazy! and you definitely deserve it. The videos you make are very interesting and funny at the same time keep it up!
Zach, the farming videos get interesting and funny, thank you
I can’t believe you farm AND film. That’s a lot of work. I’m glad I found your channel. I’ll definitely be binge watching a lot of your content. Thanks for sharing with us:)
I am a new subscriber. I farmed many years ago and really miss it. Enjoying your channel. Also the fact that you have a late model adds to the enjoyment. I was a Bob Pierce fan when he raced and follow his son now. They live about 100 miles west of me. My son and I are going to the World 100 next weekend. Good luck with your harvest and be safe.
That's awesome farming is hard work Im happy you decided to keep going your greats are smiling ....
The best farm channel in the world love you videos xx
As a comarison with the weather and humidity, wheat harvest would be a stand still; One nice thing about corn.
Your channel is really good loving the challenger
Nice vids you always make awesome vids 😀😎
Great video thanks for Petes sake i hope it stops raining have a great day be safe.
I just found your channel and love it. I live in northern mn think you are making some fine vlogs. just saw the video of the ethanol plant loved it
Great video. Love your farming content!!
Man I miss my farm. Your channel helps me get through the loss.
What happened???
You have a honest channel here on youtube 👍🏼
Another great one. I now understand why the local farmers seem to skip around on the fields at harvest time. I work in the dairy industry but still have soo much to learn.
7:30 the farmer breaker bar 😎
14:55 my four year old son watched it about 100 times. He laughs every time!🤣
So many interesting things. Another great video.
These daily videos are great
The Joy's of farming and dealing with mother nature. Thanks for putting out these awesome videos!!!
Finally!!!👍🏻👍🏻 I get to watch your video been waiting for a long time because I couldn’t get cell service where I was at!🙁
We are praying for our farmers here in Southwestern Wisconsin. We are soaked!!! Can't do field work. Losing crops due to rain everyday. Please pray for us.
Great job on the video be safe out there and and God bless you from Paris Texas until next time
Another great video, thanks. A JD combine has always been dropping more product out the back compaired to other combines, but agree that was a bit over the edge even for a JD. Hope you will get some nice smooth runs and good weather over there at least so you can get harvest done before long.
Very informative. Thanks for posting.
Fabletics, the only ad that doesn't get skipped
your farm is soo amazing
On that slide gate for the sump.... I built grain bins for a bit. They were Brock bins. We would take the cutting torch and make a couple slits in the plate above the pipe. Then you grab your welder and weld that plate to the pipe. Can’t count on mechanical fasteners in that situation.
Love your channel!
this channel is so good! keep it up!
Its snowing up here in southern manitoba. Only good thing about that is I can catch up on your videos since we cant combine corn .
I watch every vid bc I'm a farmer like him n his family
Really enjoy your videos, hi from New Zealand
That's typical fall Minnesota weather Isn't it.
You guys should buy header brushes for your corn head so you never lose kernels straight off the header. They connect to the feeder chains and collect all the lose corn and bring them to the feeder house it’s called 360 yield saver. We bought them for our combine this year but we are still doing beans. You should give them a try!
Zach, 113,000 large man !! You are climbing the corporate TH-cam ladder Brah !!!
the trials and tribulations of grain farming. at least you don't have cattle bellering at you. we are still in the low 90's thru the weekend.
for those who may not know, there is a squirrel cage fan under the combine. it is speed and air flow adjustable to provide LIFT to the crop as the crop shakes on the sieves and separators. if you open the screens you lower the air pressure. too much air pressure and you blow the crop out the back. very delicate balance to remove the grain from the chaff. moisture of the crop, up hill, down hill, side hill all makes a difference on how the crop feeds thru the separator. when the crop gets thin you need to up the ground speed to keep the volume of crop consistent into the machine.
the sheer number of moving parts on a combine are staggering. its like a complete assembly line moving down the field. any small adjustment out of perfect, a slipping belt, a bearing going dry and either you throw grain on the ground or the machine is dead in the water until it is corrected. I do know my boss would never spend $300k on a machine that you use 2 months a year. same as that spray coupe. worthless 11 months a year, priceless 1 month a year. that's farming!
I believe the sudden interest in farming videos is because city folk have or had no idea the complexities of modern agriculture. kudos to all the farmers teaching others how it all fits into the grand scheme of our economy. hopefully this new USMCA agreement trump has put together you will get a decent price for your crops. stay safe out there.
First Name Now that was a great comment!
The reason it’s called a “Combine” is because it’s a combination of a tractor (to move everything), a reaper (to collect grain) and a thresher (to separate grain and chaff). They were developed off of reapers after someone figured out a good automated threshing machine.
I loved when you said "gotta reload my groceries" and you loaded her up with food!
Thank you for you for the video see you in the next one 👍
Awsome video like always! Keep it up
That combine is music to my ears! Also when you guys are in the holding tank fixing that slide, the Minnesota accent is strong haha ohhhhhhhhhhyuhhhh
Uffda!
Rain, rain, go away....and I think mowing my grass between rain showers is a pain. Thanks for sharing.
I remember hauling hay at 11:00PM. I had the tractors lights on, the two halogen lights on the top of the tractor and two big halogen lights on the rear. I couldn't see the gate but watched the moon at my 11:00 and just drove until I saw the reflection of the aluminium gate.
That was quite a site and was glad when I got all that hay put up.
Great video and thanks for sharing
Best TH-camr ever!!!!!
Nice job and explaining everything really love to live videos thanks
Watching a video on another channel when Mn Millennial Farmer uploads a new video. I have to come watch your video! I’ll go back to the other one later.
Crossing my fingers for a successfull completed harvest! Might call you "Bad Luck Zach" if these things keep up!
Great videos!
This video deserves a like
Really enjoyed the video thanks
Really loving these harvest vlogs! For a second i thought the corn loss was just cab corn falling off
Enjoy your channel a lot, where up here north of Foley MN ,haven't started beans yet,been just to wet , not to mention we need 2000 or more round bales, between corn and beans.. for bedding cattel for the yr ,hopefully the weather gets better for everyone, thanks for the videos, very interesting and informational.
Your the best farmer
Yea like fr I love your channel I’ve learned a lot
Great videos We had problems with our combine losing corn when we went to a bigger header.had to install a differment wind board under fan.Grain was leaking out through fan.We have large stones as well,we use a degalman rock hook.Works good!!
Love your video
It’s 80 degrees here in Arkansas, great vid as always!
LOVE THE VIDS
Those tarps when they get cold can be a pain in the ars to roll back😬. ✌and God bless stay safe 🚜🇺🇸🚜
Love the video
We've got a bunch of rain headed into KS/MO this weekend. Forecasting up to 6" over the next few days.
I was always popular from about 6 years up until about 15. because I was on the small side and was raised around mechanical things. I could reach and crawl into small spaces.
owww g mate how is your apple!?, ow not bad josh how is your apple? not badd!!! love watching the hard work encourages us with our own life and our work load.. keep it up! good luck with the harvest.
We are holding out here in Michigan for just a little longer. 3 samples averaged at around 17% like to see it at 15 before we harvest. But we also aren't near as big just enough to feed hogs and have some to sell.
