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

That spreader is going to save you a lot of money. Another bonus is that you will know it is done correctly.
Plus it is a great diet/exercise plan. Heck in less than a day it has trimed him down to 60 lbs.Lol
always exciting to have a new piece of equipment, especially something you didn't own before like this spreader!
That sure is a great looking spreader rig. Can't imagine now days with auto steer how sweet of a job spreading is.
And the scale is an additional bonus
Cool spreader.
Great video good to see ya
It's always interesting to see how soil varies in a field and between different states. Here in MN, my fields have the exact opposite problem with too much natural calcium that ties up nutrients.
On corn,we pulled 5 ears on Friday 9-20 of Dekalb 102 day planted may 7 it was 15.4 % decent ears. Southeast of Findlay Ohio but we have not had the rain that you have had. Now we have rain!
We got 2.25” rain since Friday here in northern Indiana.
Good Morning
Good morning
I recommend a camera looking down at the spinners.
I can’t believe football was more important than us lol 😢
Hi, my friend
You can use remote display access on your phone via op center to see your scale weight from the loader tractor
Defiantly want to adjust the spread pattern now you have the rate right
You're gonna wonder why you didn't get one sooner. We had trouble calibrating because of the hyd oil temperature and JD flow control. Our trick was to put a tachometer on a spinner and adjust the hydraulic flow on the tractor. If you know the RPM, you know the correct pattern. That would also give a heads up on blockage or empty because the spinners would speed up. Good call on the scales. Gotta know how much is going in the buggy. Make sure you mark you settings between lime and fert.
This one doesn't use tractor hydraulics at all. Self contai ed PTO hydraulic pump.
Ivers farms had a good bit of tar spot
Good morming
Sounds Like I hear the grain dryer running
Nope just a bin fan
Great video Nathan. When you loaded the spreader after calobrating it, in the background there's a house with some sort of a mast type thing with antenna's on it. Question:: is that a family members house and do you know what the antenna's are for????....by the way i like the new spreader but you could probably set it up to go a lot faster when you get used to it....keep the videos coming....cheers
Was thinking Nathan, until you get another camera for the spreader, maybe take the camera off the grain cart? When you put the extensions on you'll probably only be able to see the top of the pile? Just a thought.
But were using the grain cart and spreader at the same time. I could take one off the planter
👍🏻There ya go.
Is that 03b19? We have some that looks phenomenal in central mi. Also maybe you’ve already done this but shell half that field at the 26-27% come back at 20% and shell the rest. We lost 20bu. Last year from 27%-20%. Only 1 field but still interesting.
Personally I am amazed that it will spread lime in 60ft bout widths with a fine grind as you are likely to find, to my mind, the finest particles will not be thrown as wide as the larger (heavier) particles. This would seem to be highlighted by the apparent width of the dust cloud compared to your driven bout widths and your observations when looking at the pan collections. The wind interference with wide spread widths is always a concern.
To some extent the development of granulated lime has addressed these issues although the material has a higher cost per ton.
(Blended fertilizers also have similar spreading issues due to the variation of particle size in a sample.)
You are right
When filling the spreader RDA into the G5 so you can see the scale from your phone in the backhoe/7520
Good idea
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What kind of rate are you trying to put out, we have a similar spreader, open your gate further, it will help with chunks and belt speed
Did you look at the bbi sniper spreader with their section control?
Not really, they dont spread lime and are very expensive compared to what we got.
@@BorderViewFarms didn't realize it doesn't do lime
Is there a way to link your cell phone to the display so you can tell how many pounds of material you have loaded while sitting on the backhoe?
Why don't you use the corn shelter in the office give it a try it works fine conman from the 60s😮
It doesn't work that good. Greetings the corn up, especially when it's wet
This gunna be Brock’s project or gunna need to find more help?
When your dad painted that cone tank black what kind of paint did he use? And how did he apply it?
He used a roller. Not sure what paint it was but knowing him probably whatever he had left over or was the cheapest at the hardware store
Is the bouncing messing with the spread pattern?
You have a major camera issue, they say a camera adds 10 pounds it seems yours is adding well over 100! Let's be honest here , if you, me ,or a large majority of those whe sub to this channel ever see 60 lbs again we probably should seek medical attention immediately 😅⁹😅 For some reason my wife isn't speaking to me now, seems she doesn't think she needs a new spreader as much as I did
Good Morning
