We've been asked a number of times why we are bagging grain when we just built new storage. Answer is that new storage isn't even enough to hold this year's crop. Last year we had 50,000 bushels on the ground and another 50,000 in our equipment cold storage. This year we have 75,000 bushels in new grain bins which means another 30,000 - 50,000 needs to go somewhere. This is why we are working with Loftness to make more storage. Welker Farms has been short on grain storage for a number of years now but 2020 is the year we fix that!
Welker Farms since you get asked it a lot I see the comments and take a look at them. Is it so common that it’s just easier to copy and paste the answer?

What a awesome dog coby is truly a best friend he loves riding with your pops and making sure he keeps the rabbits away bless you all love this channel
In all the days of binge watching Harvest vids of 5 farms, as a non-farmer, you’re the first one to explain exactly what the combine does, how it pulls the grain from the plant. Thank u
@@WelkerFarms I get choked up watching our 🇺🇸farmers,knowing our agriculture was sold out to Mexico, Canada & other countries for decades & we couldn’t survive without all of u. I’m hoping USMCA changes all that! God Bless you!
My five year old Catahoula (Tex) has been riding with me since I brought him home when he was a puppy. Tractors, 18 wheelers, combines, he don’t care as long as he’s riding with me. I do a lot of gps precision land leveling for irrigation and I put 1000 plus hours a year on my tractor moving dirt. Ol Tex has put almost all 6500 hours in riding with me.
Man i feel like every profession should have such a channel. it's so valuable to show the youth how the real world day to day work looks. i'm not a farmer but those videos make me wish i was xD
That Quad and Brent is an awesome setup! Love the technology on all of it. Thank Dad Welker for the stories. Always enjoyable! Thanks Welkers for sharing your farming experiences!
I agree the stories are great and they are part of what makes farming so great. The good, the Bad and the Ugly is what farming is all about and it is what makes it such a good life. It is also what makes it so mich more that just a buisness.
Every time i come here for a couple of minutes and stay for an hour! My grand father was a farmer here in Novosibirsk, Russia, went bankrupt after the 2008 crisis, but your vids always remind me of childhood, cant forget the smell of a field in summer :D
My grandfather was a Dairy Farmer in Alton, Maine U.S.A. he passed in 2000 but I grew up working on the farm, baling hay, chopping silage and milking cows. It was an incredible childhood
I know of a chap he use to drive an old Clayton 5 of them in line one behind the other you would get sacked on the spot if there was a wiggle in your straw row they had to be plum straight no auto pilot in the 70s a Robert 😁👍👍 good to hear 60 bushel all down the the rain fall you would love 36 inch of rain 😂😂😂 nice work Hollywood on the cam shots, happy harvest💪👏👍😁
My dad started farming in 1955 full-time he had share-cropped prior to that for my grand dad the year I was born 56 he started raising rice medium grain he had bought a JOHN DEERE 95-B COMBINE 13FT header medium grain rice yield was about 130 bushels per acre had a heavy rainstorm with lots of wind on 40 acre field completely lodged flat as pancake... he had no grain cart and the rice dryer was about 35 miles one way.. there was no variable speed contro on the header reel and the 95-B had an raspbar cylinder. Took him 45 days to cut that 40 acres..the rice line was usally a 3 hour turnaround so one to 2 loads aday was about all you could cut and haul. Down rice you have to cut in the same direction as it lays.. he also had to dead head the combine out to the turn row to dump each time..My Mom drove a 1954 R-170 International 1&1/4 ton Bob truck with a 200 bushel bed to the rice dryer...Good ole days Hummmpft!!!
Hi from smokey Portland OR, or should I say west coast. Thanks for the fun and for sharing your lives with us. 40 bu/ac wow! That's amazing dryland production. Hoping it earns you guys (and gals) a great $payday$ . . . you all deserve it! 👍😎
I was delivering a truck to Calgary a few weeks ago and was headed up I-15 for the first time. I saw Shelby, MT on a roadside sign and immediately started looking for the Welker Farm. Y’all live in a beautiful area of the country.
Looks like a pretty good harvest year for you. Glad you have those new bins. Thank you for the video - hope the family and you are doing well. Take care Spin.
We used to turn on the fans when we filled bins, it blew some of the chaff out. Worked way better on the bins with spreaders in them. Helped clean the grain up just a little more
Nick interesting on the clutch. Has your sales person not explained how it works. I saw one other comment on.it and he is correct. Sit in seat stroke clutch and then take out of park and put in forward or reverse. It will not kill the engine. Or kick out the transmission. Not that I never forget it! Still a lot of muscle memory left in my left foot.
Daddy welker its always fun ridin wit u n the puppy dog lol u do remind me of my Grandpa a little. Thatnks for alowin us fans to ride wit you! And a good job editing to nicks wife. N to everyone else. "GIT RR DOOONE!" stay safe!
Technology has come a long way. My dad had a Massey Harris 72 open station. 13 foot header on it. Was quite the machine in it's day. He had a wire ear corn crib built with a 14 foot drive through so he could park the combine inside . It was only used for oats and soybeans.
Coby needs to be represented in your apparel merchandise. Maybe a Tee & Sweat with Coby's image and Big Bud & the American flag in the background. COBY, PROTECTOR OF WELKER FARMS. Could put rabbits, badgers, foxes, porcupines, coyotes...around the bottom to show what Coby faces every day. There are a lot of dog lovers out here and Coby needs to recognized as Number One Farm Dog with merchandise. Thanks for the interesting harvest videos. ---- An old Texan
Just the best commentary! And the drone footage excellent - a drone video 'stand alone' would be much appreciated even if a little shorter in length - enjoyed!!
,, parish provenance,,, Love your avatar, nothing like "Old Glory" ,, ,, our beautiful Red, White and Blue. Those "grayed-out" flags with just one colored stripe, make me so sad. The "greatest generation" of men and women who fought in World War II (etc) did not do so to honor a Gray flag with one colored stripe. I understand that it is protected by free speech in the 1st amendment, but that also puts those who display it that way in the same "camp" as those who defile it by any other method, (won't find me there) such as burning, cutting, adulterating and other methods to defile its image :( Bless You ♡
When your father talks or shows Coby it is the moment that put smile on my face. He is the star of you video's I just love to see them both.😀 Don't take me wrong I like you guy's too.
Use a bigger fuse! If u run out of fuses, a threaded rod works good too. It will let you find the short circuit 4 sure! Have a fire extinguisher handy though.
Impressive to hear that kind of yield. I'm hoping and praying that my grandmother's soybeans do good. Because earlier this year got so much rain that the beans in the bottom were underwater for a few hours. Hopefully they will yield good. Have a great weekend and ready for the next video. God bless.
Alway sitting in my 8R 410 Johnny in germany and enjoying your videos while autopilot is doing its thing :D its so cool to watch wat u guys over in the States are doing :P
those fast fill nozzles on the automatic greaser are super handy and makes the filling job fast but you gotta be extra carefull with being clean and make sure no debris, dust or other dirt gets on the nozzle or the connector so you press also that in there. it will likely clog up the grease lines further down and making sure it wont get greased resulting it breaking or something. just an heads up :)
We mounted wireless cameras from can can. Tje camera is in the combine by the hopper. Looking at the cart. The reciever is in the cart. The cart driver can literally load himself bow to stearn... it works great. The combine operator is only responsible for turn on and shut off.
Is it just me or at about 23:57 in the drone footage of Clifford unloading, it looks like the header is angled to the machine’s right side, as in that side is pushed back farther than the left?
Real nice, hope you find the short. Some people got hail you were blessed with rain. You need it in this enviornment. Having water bagels tommorrow. If the price of wheat goes up so does the bagel. Some at 1.10, 1.25, and others at 1.30. Dogs can hear things before us and smell too.:)
You want too see something go through the diesel fuel check out the self propelled choppers chopping corn they are putting 300 ton of corn stalks and cobs through a 1mm-1 1/2mm slot in the kernel processor which is basically two steel drums with knobs or spikes that put a hole in every kernel that goes through the machine they will go through 400 gallons of diesel fuel in less than a day it is awesome the power being used
Thats so cool to hear the stories. I love it (personally) so much to hear and learn from you Elder/Wiser Welker. (sorry Robert sir, I like that Title for ya!) To be honest I'm amazed that Coby can JUMP and land from that high up!. I've watched him jump off the Big Buds and your Harvester's. And Wow he hits the ground and is off! it's amazing!
Your a good family with good values. U spilled $5 and left $5 lol. Amazing how technology has changed. Born in 1945 it sure has changed. Bigger equipment. Bigger fields. But the margin stays the same. Be careful. Thanks for sharing...... my pug likes carrots 🥕 too
When I was living near Buffalo Wy, there was a couple years that I remember having good storms in August, but it was nothing to get snow July... But a couple years in a row I got snowed in on the ranch in September
Hi Mark I was at Chadacre farm college for that snow in June lol 😂 I am originally from Gt Ashfield in Suffolk I moved to USA in 1981 so I remember that snow ⛄️
My 1995 International 9400 Eagle at work has a Cat 3406B under the hood with twin 100 gallon tanks I can run it 4 days hard hauling gravel before I have to fuel up. The one Cummins we have at work guzzles fuel and has to fuel up pretty much daily and it's a lot newer motor
You don't need the clutch to start the tractor moving. Just pump the clutch pedal on & off whenever you sit down then grab the shifter and select drive. The tractor will automatically let the clutch in and start moving 👌
Have they ever explained why there using the grain bags???

Maybe Case IH can produce a Quadtruck for you Nick. Great video again, God bless you all.
Doing wheat sounds like alot of fun guys. That sounds like that will keep you busy for awhile especially when you have those big acres of field to do.
Always enjoy your stories Mr. Welker and really enjoy seeing and hearing about Colby your sidekick. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a pretty good harvest year for you. Glad you have those new bins. Thank you for the video - hope the family and you are doing well. Take care Spin.
Love all the aerial shots! Really gives us an idea just how massive all that machinery is
Nice description of the thrashing process and the tradeoffs - grain loss or chaff - informative. Thanks.
We used to turn on the fans when we filled bins, it blew some of the chaff out. Worked way better on the bins with spreaders in them. Helped clean the grain up just a little more
That's awesome I love the smell of the crop when u cutting it!
Really enjoyed the scene of Nick and Leg Arms in the cab sharing lunch! You guys always crack me up
Cody must be like my Shorthair who can hear the refrigerator light go on!
Thanks for the explanation for us non farmers. Keep up the good work.
Love seeing the family working together. Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
Really love the relationship between dad and dog 🐕
Thanks for the explanations of the combine, the separation of the chaff etc. It was really helpful. Love your videos!
Gotta leave some grain for the deer and other critters. So don’t feel bad leaving a few skips, it’s a good thing! Helps fill the freezer

It's awesome to watch you guys harvest thanks for sharing. Carl
Love the drone shots of the combines working!!!
Enjoyed. Good yield. Glad y’all got new bins
The first thang I did was leave a like because I already know it’s going to be good
Those drone shot are fantastic. You need an Oscar for that.
I remember when y'all got the new combines! That was a great series of videos I recommend anyone to go watch!!
I'm not sure what animal you are doing an impression of when you are eating the pretzels but you're crackin me up !!!
I like how you're giving the hart healthy carrots to the dog.
Dotts pretzels are awesome, tried them for the first time, last weekend. Yummo.
Colby knows it takes carrots and rabbit to make hasenpfeffer.
Nick: Spends 2 minutes talking about how nice the fuel level indication on the quad track is compared to the big buds. Still overfills the diesel lol.

it looks like your having a reasonable harvest overall . well done
