aTrippyFarmer and the crew are back to bring you more harvesting adventures. In today's episode, Andy's family continues on with soybean harvest. The last few days of dry weather have provided them with ample opportunities to cover large amounts of land with their John Deere Harvesting Fleet. Other than a few broken sickles and guards, everything continues to run smoothly for the farm. They run the John Deere equipment hard all day, and they eventually move next door to someone running RED equipment. It is a Red Invasion on a John Deere Farm! Thanks for watching!

Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Thanks for the shout out Andy! Very cool to have you take drone footage of us. Thank you for sharing the pictures you took of us as well! Keep up the good work man. Love what you do
My pleasure, Bill!
Love it when Marty gets a hold of the sledge hammer!
No kidding, personally I get a kick out of Marty. 😁
Awesome beans and education pays when varieties of bean companies offering their brands. Great video footage. Lovely wife and beautiful baby ! Lucky Andy !!
Sick montage at the end of the video. Hell yeah trippy boy!!!!
The boy was definitely happy riding in the tractor
Thank you Andy, Bill and Stan. Great drone shots.
I love your videos bc they remind me of being a young kid watching farmers work the fields
Andy for Christmas I want you to interview your dad. Do it when it’s a little slower or at least shorter days. I’d love to hear from him and your mom the challenges and things that have helped or changed over the years. You think about it your dad grew up with his dad who had a farm era that was very antiquated your dad got to see the transition to where you are. I’d love to have him do just 1 interview that’s all and he can go back to being reclusive and I get that but what you would be documenting would be a historically significant interview that your son and his kids will thank you and him for doing it.
I will do my best to make that happen. He doesn't really have any interest in the TH-cam videos, which makes it hard difficult to get quality content with him!
Another outstanding drone footage of harvesting and your minme riding in the tractor with you 👍😁 gee he doesn't look like you at all😜🤣
Hi Kate. Greeting from Auckland ,New Zealand 🇳🇿
It's Christmas all year long at our place with a little green mixed with the red. Always good to see Lenny.
Went to school with the Uphoffs. They used have a seed corn operation. Good people.
The 3 brothers that ran Uphoff Brother's Seed are our Dad's cousins, they are good people.
hey Andy
one day you should try over taking a road train on a gravel road here in Australia you pop out of the dust after counting 15 to 16 axles and your still behind the driver lol good radio communication is a must and trust
You always get great drone shots but tonight's drone footage was especially nice
Was it the red equipment? 😎
Awesome drone shots! So cool!
Beautiful drone footage Andy👍
What a perfect weather bean harvest year!
Great job Andy and crew! Always good when you share the harvest. Thanks
Of course, it's another fantastic video. The drone footage with all the equipment moving was really cool.
Drone shots and music always awesome....get'm in the bin
Excellent Drone work! If it's 4K, create some stills from the vids and offer them for sale to the public.
Cool drone shots)) Oh, and I ordered a starter kit of Cannadips in support of your show))
You may need 1 more driver and diffently in need for a Thundernn fuel wagon or a fuel truck to keep those machines working in the field.
Great video work.. love it!
Excellent
Thanks for your videos. I enjoy watching
Good drone footage thank you
Hey man keeping it real good job
Once again a great video Andy. Stay safe out there. Always enjoy your videos. Congratulations on those yeilds.
Good video. fantastic drone shots. Way cool to see so much equipment in an area.
Another great video!
Great video man, keep it up!
Great videos
See you in the next one. Great video thanks for sharing.
Could it be the MacDon head that kept the neighbors cutting a little longer? 🤔 I don’t know! But that red thing pulling the red thing? What were those strange machines? 🤷🏼♂️👍🏼
Lol
Awesome on you to have the family in the tractor. I’ve had my boys in the tractor when they were younger, for upwards of 14 hours at a time. But now that they are teenagers and pre- teens they don’t visit as long
I know that the tractor rides may not mean a lot to him, but I sure do enjoy them. Thanks for the comment!
Top 3 Video Andy
Well done😊
You guys are doing a great job with the bean harvest
Once again another awesome video Andy keep up the good work
I just wanna say I don’t think I have ever seen someone load a truck as good as you!!
I agree.
Howdy, good video
Great video 👍 👍
Need some kind of sprayer to mist the soybeans and bring the moisture back up to 13.5
Called an irrigator. Or rain
It is actually illegal to put water on the grain. There are systems out there that will turn on the grain bin fans when the weather has high humidity. You can also do that manually, there are charts to assist.
😂
Looks like you’re having a great bean crop. Since we didn’t see any trucks unloaded, are you taking all of the beans to the elevator?
Trippy, another excellent vid. Some day your little one will be working with you on the farm and making memories. Keep it between the rows. 🌽🌽🚜
Those small bolts, use a impact for drywall and buy the hex shaft socket adapters for them
Good to Hear that Other Varieties of Soybeans are Out Yielding Pioneer
I don’t root for anyone to fail!
I understand that you don't want anything to fail with yields
@@rickiemckillip8124 have you had bad experiences with pioneer? Every company has a flop occasionally.
Great video. love the drone.
You said the guy next door is tiling. What is that?
Andy you are a cool 😎 dude, and Hi Katie 👋😊, she really is my favorite combine operator 😎💯👍, and watching you work dude, like wow!!!, you don't get tired of driving the combines do you?, I know nothing about farms and big farming rigs, but you make me wanna jump in a combine and cut some wheat, corn 🌽, soy and such so relaxing 😌, thanks for everything Andy, loving the videos, can you hook me up with more sunset views next vid please and thank you and a Hi from Katie, that'd make my day bud ty 😊
Thanks for the comment! Farmers like my family have been around this type of action for a very long time. It is almost second nature, and it is fun to do when everything is running correctly. I am sure that you'd enjoy it if you had chance experience it someday!
@@aTrippyFarmer I currently live in Canada, and I am at a huge disadvantage, I look okay if you see me at first sight and see me walking around, but I have two broken bones in my left foot that was left undiagnosed for years, and as a result I can only be on my feet on level ground on good days like 2 hours or max 4 but after those hours pass I gotta get off my feet or I will be bed bound for few days to a week all depends, but I'd love to ride in one, thanks for the kind words Andy 🙂
Andy great videos an like your drone footage U keep farming an I will keep watching how big are your farm tanks for your disel fuel also def tank just would like to no the capacity of them not what it cost to fill them its probable pretty expensive I get upset every time I go to the pump again just your gals u have to operate your equipment
Wow & Thank you for always such entertaining content, great knowledge great sense of humour. I love seeing the equipment you’re using….I’m a JD user and lover myself in the Uk but currently harvesting rice here in the Philippines 🇵🇭….🚜🌾👍🏾
I am glad that you enjoyed! Thanks for the comment.
How often do you have to replace the plastic skids on your headers?
Least the weather has been good. We officially got snow yesterday here and we got over 7 inches already. Least people around here are pretty much done harvesting. Hopefully the corn has gone well
You guys sure like your new trucks
Most important tool on the farm!
Congrats on the harvest! Love the drone footage. I am sure you have answered this before but why do you not need an air system like some of the other guys. Just curious.
I like how the guy in reds like. I ain't afraid to really hit this sob.
My dad doesn’t care if he breaks it in the process of fixing it. I am a little more cautious 🤣
@@aTrippyFarmer That's awesome!!!! I'm like that too. Respect!
Thank you Andy for your efforts. I know it takes a lot of your time to make the videos. Could you comment a little on your herbicide program. Would you have done anything different as far as timing and application rates. I know you have said that all herbicides are custom applied and I certainly understand that. Does the consultant have input before the harvest to plan for next years weed management? Thank you for your efforts. I need to see more of Lenny. I’m enjoying watching him grow up.
Good questions. To start, we don’t use a consultant of any form for our herbicide programs. We do work with retailers and representatives for each product, though that is just to purchase and apply it. Our main corn program has been Syngenta’s Acuron for close to 10 years. It consists of S-metolachlor, mesotrione, atrazine, and Bicyclopyrone. It can be use as a burndown or even a pre-emergence product over the top of the planter corn. I prefer it over the top with a rain in close proximity. I do think there are more cost-effective corn programs, but Acuron is definitely the gold standard. Soybeans are a little more complex because of the need for multiple herbicide passes. There is also a variability in metholody depending on tillage practices before planting. If we need a burndown, we use Sharpen (burner) and Zidua SC (residual). Zidua has been a great residual product, and it holds our clean field for about a month or so. Once it is time for our post-emergence pass, we used Dicamba or 2,4-D, depending on the type of soybean, and a clethodim product. This combination did a pretty good job, though the Enlist (2,4-D) did underperform slightly this season. There were a lot of late-season breakthroughs from weeds that weren’t fully terminated from the 2nd pass. Overall, I am pretty happy with our programs.
Thank you Andy for your explanation to my question. It’s nice if you to reply. I’ve been watching and listening to from the start.
We used salantro not sure spelling is right seed treatment for sds, didn't see any on ours but who knows, won't plant without it anymore, as you said its expensive but wjat you can lose is worse
Well Andy you maybe an employee but if your didn't have you to help out and work for him it would be tough.
Andy any more thoughts on why that relatively Terrible yield on that last bean field??
From what I’ve gathered, there is a strong correlation between the later maturity beans (3’8) coupled with later planting (May 1st) and a lack of solar radiation during crucial stages of the growing season. We had 3’2s across the road that we’re hitting 90-100 in spots, where as the 3’8s were topping out at 80-90. I think that the soybeans received an unlucky draw from Mother Nature in late July, and this brought the average down versus our other fields. I’ve seen a lot of yield data from seed plots, and shorter season soybeans are leading the way, which is contrary to what is normally seen. Later maturity soybeans that were planted much earlier, like our Asgrow 40XF1s, were able to be a few steps ahead of the later planted fields-resulting in a higher yield. This is all speculation, but everything is lining up for this explanation.
Hey ✋️ paint it JD GREEN 😆
What kind of drone do you use
👍
Your videos are very good, kinda long, still in the acceptable range for me anyway. Keep up the good work.
When in doubt, always use a bigger hammer!! 😊👍
You got that right!
My brother farms and he’s pretty much all green until you get to the Combine then it’s red.
Young man, what did you do to be sentenced to be a grain truck driver and not full-time on the combine? Or do you prefer to drive the grain cart?
Would a fuel trailer make you guys more efficient or is it not worth it?
It would definitely help, but those fancy ones are expensiveeeee!
Do you guys plant any NGO beans? Why or why not?
We don’t plant any. The weed control is the biggest problem for us. Without access to a powerful growth regulator like 2,4-D or Dicamba, we cannot kill our waterhemp. Most of it is PPO resistant, which leaves us with little flexibility in herbicides. I think there is a place for incorporating a cover crop to strangle out weeds from the start, but that isn’t something that we’ve ever wanted to mess with. I personally do not think the $1 premium is worth the hassle. You’d make more money raising seed beans with new genetics…
Are your hopper trailers 30' or 34' ?
34’
run two grain cart
👍👍👍
Random efficiency question from a non-farmer, is the grain cart the reason you run 2 combines in the same field the majority of the time? Wouldn't it be cheaper / more efficient to just put 1 combine in a field and then you aren't moving 2 combines every time you move to a new field?
Great question. Efficiency is always determined by your weakest link. In soybeans, harvesting capacity is the limiting factor. The soybean plant requires additional threshing to remove the grain. That, combined with a much lower average yield than corn, results in a fraction of the bushels per hour than a combine could produce in a corn field. Typically, a farmer can add a second combine in soybeans without adding more trucks or grain carts. By doing so, that farmer can gain the added throughput of a second harvester to cover more ground. The same is not true for corn. Corn harvest is nearly always limited by trucking capacity. If you cannot keep the grain away from the field, you will become extremely inefficient. Ultimately, it is all about finding what fits the needs of your operation the best. If you farm a large amount of ground, you will need more machines to finish harvesting on time. I hope this provides some insight.
Hey you need to clean your back window on your tractor looks kind of dirty but sure would like to see you in the talk with Katie have a good day and be safe
Why do you cut beans at an angle?
The narrow row soybeans feed better when cut at an angle. It also results in even cutter-bar wear.
I thought maybe you guys got a red machine for your operation by the comments. !!!
Why does Katie always seem to show up after equipment has been moved?
Oh, I screwed up my comment last video. God, Family, Farming, and chicken nuggets. My bad little Man
Are you close to the TH-cam farmer Wendling farms in central Illinois. Check that channel out he has great content
I think he’s pretty close, maybe 2-3 counties away at most. He has a good channel!
Who is Katie
His sister I’m pretty sure
@@gavinfriel3913 yep
Love the content I just kind of started a TH-cam channel it’s called B&J Farms and it’s farming simulator 22 but I also have TH-cam shorts of real farming if you would like to watch
What is this Red thing I see in the field?
Could that be a Case tractor and a red Cart?🤣🤣🤣. At least he has good taste in machines as opposed to those hideous ugly green machines called John deere's. 😂😂😅😅🤣😆😁. JK.
Haha you red guys and your loyalty. I don’t mind red equipment… I’d love to try a big quad track!
If it an't red leave it in the shed!!!!!!!!.
🤣🤣
That Steiger sure looks so much better than those green ones,I think if you used red your subs would triple overnight,that's the only reason I watched this video I'm not a subscriber I just wanted to see that awesome Steiger and remember if it ain't red leave it in the shed peace out buddy
I won’t deny that Case doesn’t make a good looking tractor!
