Farmer on the Prairie is about my life on our central Illinois farm. My name is Seth and I am a young farmer with the desire to get things done and to keep the farm running smoothly. The farm is 740 row crop acres and 100 acres of pasture. We run about 100 grass-fed cattle and 1500 meat birds a year. Throughout my videos, you will get to know Dad, MommaD, and Sister. My brothers Josiah and Luke help us whenever there is a big project so they can feel important. We also have a part time employee Ben who is the comic relief. Because so many different things happen on our farm, there is never a dull moment. So tap that Subscribe button and come along for the ride!
Learned a lot of new things about your work today. Great video and thanks, as usual, for taking the time to share with us.
Enjoyed the video. I did a batch of 125 chickens and was amazed at the demand for them. Grinding your own feed is the best way and using what you grow on the farm. Those are good mixers, that's s nice one for the age. Enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing all the details Seth! When the chickens get older the are great at disposing of road kill or any corn stealing raccoons/opossums you might trap. Hey, feed is. Expensive! Blessings.
Another enjoyable and informative video. Thank you Seth!
Nice spontaneous dancing 🕺 😂 thanks again for taking us with you.
Good job seth,,, especially good teaching video.....we need people to teach more survival skills with this strange new world we live in...thanks for shareing....
Great video to show use how you mix different products to make your chicken feed.
ThanksSeth, very interesting.
Seth, I enjoy hearing you explain all these farming chores. I am continually surprised by how complicated farming really is. I would like to know why the soy beans have to be roasted and the others don’t? Thank you.
Good work Seth! Smiling and joking is better than flat affect, just my opinion. Who knew you could get custom made chicken feed?!?
Thank y'all for sharing your VIDEO... it's always nice to see farm work... We enjoy it...
Great presentation. How four people can "thumbs-down" this type of super presentation is a definite mystery.
Was this an audition? Love your spirit and I love to sing while I work, too. It's always nice to have a REAL job to fall back on. God bless.
Great vids glad i subbed your chan after watching some of your vids keep up the great work Seth. Thanks so much.
Busted out so dance moves. Had me laughing. Really like how your racing the meat birds. Control the whole process.
Seth your videos are great joy to me.

Good to see Seth back. Great video. How long does a ton of the feed last? Thanks again. Almost to 12k!
Its really fascinating to see this. Thanks for taking us along.
Great job explaining the process seth
Nice feed making system!
Now this brings back memories! Our farm had both chickens and dairy cows and we ground our own feed for both. Many years ago, a local mill had a truck mounted grinder mixer that traveled from farm to farm. The grinder came on a set week day schedule, I think our day was Thursday. After the truck grinder wore out and the small mill closed, we purchased a New Holland grinder mixer similar to yours. We did not have the scale so we had to add the grains to one of the marks on the side of the bin watching through the view windows on the side of the tank. IT was not as exact as having a scale, not sure when we bought ours, this was an available option, has been 45 years ago... Also, thanks for explaining why you add the crushed shells to harden the egg shells. didn't catch what you called them. don't remember what what we used , but they were crushed oyster shells.
Seth, that was fun and Interesting to watch! Loved the dance moves! LOL
Hard working man 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for sharing!
Don’t forget about hearing protection 😊
Nice Job Seth your are my favorite Farmer love ur vids keep up the great content
Thank you, so glad you enjoy the videos.
I really do I always check subscriptions and see do I see Farmer on the prairie and I wall you today and I was so happy to see your video
Nice but your lucky. We had to mix hog feed like that but bye lifting or shoveling it all in except. Ears of corn we ran that in by using the corn crib or gravity box.
Seth please be careful around running equipment/live pto! I’ve seen several accidents on farms just this year and I don’t want to see any more!!! Stay safe and keep well, 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏👨🌾
Love the videos I’m from Illinois as well and make some farming videos that aren’t anywhere as near as good as yours😂 keep up the good videos🤘🏼
Did go over to check out your channel and I subscribed. Enjoyed your interaction with the calves as well the calves interaction with you.
Don't worry about other TH-camr's, just do your thang and they will come! Nice looking farm and well maintained iron BTW.
Peter Haan thanks man! Them bottle calves are something i enjoy and plan to keep doing
When does your summer vacation begin?
Well you just down the road a few miles. I am in Papineau Illinois just north of Watseka. Check out my nephews channel Wes Farms. I would like to know what’s your meat bird mix. I have mine mixed at FS and I been guessing. I have them mix 300 lbs of crush corn and 50lbs of bean mill 50 of oats,50 of wheat. And when I do layer feed I add 100lbs of layer feed to it.
👍👌🇨🇦❤, gr8 job
What is the recipe for the feed mixture. And the weights.. is it for laying hens or broilers thanks
Do you have a specific feed recipe for the broilers that you raise that you would share? Do you have an idea on the protien level? Also where do you purchase the minerals you add to your feed?
Fertrell nutri- balancer is what we use in our poultry feed for minerals
Who develops the recipe for your chicken feed?
Are y’all in southern Illinois?
Whats the recipe for your broiler chicken feed?
So you probably save alot of money by making your own feed im starting next year but my animal nutritionist gave me the poultry formula that dont have fish meal in
Let's go Brandon!!!!!!!!!!!

Can u show the roasting soybean process sometime?
We do not do the roasting. It is done at the feed mill.
