Yes over in Europe, I believe you have milder conditions, especially during grain fill which really helps add a lot of yield. Over here 100 bushel/acre is extraordinary
I remember being a kid and getting to do field work for the first time, and how excited I was. I was just 8 yrs old when my Grampa started having me work ground and plow. I had to scoot up in the seat to be able to reach the clutch and brakes pedal, lol. By the time I was 10 I would relieve my Grampa on the planter so he could run to town and get a cup of coffee. People would say aren't you worried he's a little young to be doing field work, and my Grampa would say he's been riding in the tractor and combine since before he took his first steps, I trust him more than any hired hand,lol. Its good to start your kids young, and get them involved early doing the farming. Kids I knew who's parents didn't get their kids involved early on, those kids ended up not being interested in farming and were on the lazy side. When you involve them early, they tend to be more mature earlier in life and have good work ethics.
Congratulations on an outstanding wheat yield. It looks like you have the right combination of soil prep,planting and spraying figured out. Thumbs up to Carter 👍running the grain cart.
Glad you have a good harvest. My Wheat is not worth harvesting this year. Talked to guy who needs hay. He decided it’s not worth cutting for hay. Looked good till spraying. I almost didn’t but hoped for rain. Maybe 2/10” in last 6 weeks. Corn might be chopped. No cattle but empty silo. Best Wheat I have had averaged low 60 bu acre.

It's good to start kids young, they learn fast. I started running our tractors by myself at 5 or 6 years old and was driving 10 wheeler potato trucks under the potato combine at 9 years old and was driving the semi trucks on the farm at 11 years old and was driving them on the highways and freeways at 14 with my daytime only license. Back when we farmed in the 90's our average over the whole harvest was 120 bushels per acre on wheat and 125 bushels on barley. Our family farm was 3500 irrigated acres we grew between 700 to 900 acres of potatoes and 2000 acres of wheat and barley and the rest was alfalfa hay.
Would be interested to know what your input costs are and rainfall amounts? Here in the UK would be hoping for 148 bu on an autumn sown wheat , and we can do 119bu on a spring wheat with good weather. This years hybrid winter barley looks like it could 190bu, spring barley is usually around 143bu.
We have between $225-$250/acre invested in strictly crop inputs (seed, chemicals, fertilizer). Doesn’t include any equipment, land rent, labor, etc. Annually we get around 52”/year with probably approximately 2/3 of it during the wheat growing season.
Nice wheat yields! We are hoping to start wheat the middle of next week here in southern Michigan. We have 1600 acres of wheat that we will then double crop soybeans on . We then will custom harvest wheat in Ohio and Indiana. We run 2 gleaner s98s with 40 foot heads along with a johndeere 9570rt a demco 1300 bushel grain cart . Nice video have a safe and productive wheat harvest!
@@griggsfarmsllc the growing season is shorter than yours but we can still double crop most years. The key is for us to plant our regular soybeans and corn early so we can harvest early then plant wheat early in late September or early October. We are about 20 miles north of the Michigan ohio border. 100 miles north of us they cannot double crop. My family has double cropped since the 90s . We harvest Our double crop soybeans normally in early to mid November. Some years the double crops do better than the regular soybeans. We normally harvest wheat in late June up till july 10th. We can plant soybeans up till July 15th after that the chances for rain are slim to none and they won't mature in time to harvest before it snows . I only know of a couple other farmers who double crop in our area The neighbors think we are crazy . Take care!

When you have a 35’ wide header and our rolling ground, it’s difficult to cut as high as we would like to. Plus some of our wheat is down. We do try to cut it as high as possible without one end of the header cutting heads in half.
With these modern monitors it’s always giving you an alert or warning about something. What you hear most of is probably me taking it out of auto header height or activating auto steer
Grain in tank seems a little dirty is that typical,,,I farmed with my dad in the 60s with a 95JD just a cylinder bar thrasher not the rotors of today...you have 100 plus yield that's a sweet moment
Actually for a combine that’s a really clean sample. About the only way to get it any cleaner is to severely limit capacity and risk throwing a lot of grain out the back. And it’s also variety dependent. Some varieties clean and thresh better than others. On the few loads we’ve delivered to grainery, foreign matter levels have been around 1%, well within acceptable levels
That was interesting, surprisingly, since I can hardly grow a tomato in the New Jersey suburbs. The huge machinery is impressive. Wait, per a comment below, there's more than one kind of wheat?? Finding out that food does not originate in the grocery store.
Yes there’s several different types of wheat. We grow soft red winter wheat which is a low protein wheat used to make flour for pastries, crackers, and cakes. Hard red winter wheat is a higher protein wheat grown in the Midwest and is used to make breads. There’s also Durum wheat and hard red spring wheat. I think durum is used to make pastas.
@@griggsfarmsllc ok. That’s pretty good. Wen I was working for a custom cutter they always said no more than 3 kernels in a area as big as your hand print.
It’s nothing special. Plant about 150 lbs/acre for early planting and steadily increase it to about 165 lbs/acre for late planting. 1.5 tons/acre chicken litter up front. Spray Roundup and Zidua behind the drill. Spray for weeds and/or insects if necessary early December. First shot of N, 28-0-0-5 in late Jan, second shot of N, 32-0-0 in mid March.

I remember a story of the farmer that went into the local bar bragging about his high yielding crops. He didn't see his landlord down on the other end of the bar. After listening to the bragging for about 10 minutes the landlord stood up and walked down to the farmer and calmly said. "I sure am glad we got those big yields this year I can really use the extra money." It was about that time it's said the farmer turned blue from choking on his beer. I suppose this is why most farmers pay cash rent these days instead of shares. ;)
It’s all about profit not yield. If I did over 70, I’d be ready to leap off a bridge, because I’m contracting organic ancient grain varieties that the protein level has to be over 11.4 or they won’t take it. It doesn’t always pan out quite frankly, but at $13, it’s worth giving it a shot.
Well at $13 you’re probably making the same amount of profit as I am at 100 bu/acre. Probably a little more. But there is significant more risk in what you’re producing.
@@griggsfarmsllc I wish it was always the case, when you factor in the fields that don’t perform, and that 70 would be balls to the wall and it’s usually in the mid 50’s. It’s a little better. Mostly due to the way they can get small loads on boats now by sectioning off the holds. Otherwise, the transport dock would kill me.
Hey Matt maybe. This Will help you feel better I got a friend in Montana that grows wheat said that he was jealous he said that his wheat won't yeild but single digits per acre I have been bragging on you and your wheat
Their climate is a lot different out west. But on the positive side for them, their wheat brings a higher price. I’m assuming he’s growing high protein hard red winter wheat while we grow lower protein soft red winter wheat.
@@griggsfarmsllc I just got a message from him I haven't been paying attention to the weather they. Are having severe drought conditions only 3 inches of rain for the entire year I guess that means we just had better conditions
