- Border View Farms is a mid sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. We raise corn, soybeans, and wheat on a little over 3,000 acres.
My name is Nathan. I run this channel and farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. 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. I get questions about how and why we do things on the farm frequently even from my own family members so to help explain things it's easier to just show you. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture in general as well as dispel some of the common misconceptions.
I hope you enjoy my content and please ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can.
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos. You can also find me on Facebook borderviewfarms and on Instagram @borderviewfarms

I'm a fellow farmer and I appreciate what you do also brother. I think you do a great job in explaining what you do on daily basis my friend
Your explanation to those who don’t know about agriculture is spot on, very good job.
Thnx for the videos.
Thanks good education session! Enjoy channel.
I appreciate and look forward to your videos. I’m a retired biomedical engineer and grew up on a farm in northwestern Ohio. Truly love to follow the changing farming technology. I absolutely understand your comments regarding the use of chemicals. In my career chemistry was a big part of my daily life, it always came down to common sense and balance. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share with us.
Ditto
Always enjoy seeing the boys and your family.
Good day Nathan. Good to ride with you. You really do an excellent job explaining what your doing. Anhydrous has always been a pro/con discussion. I've been around it for years and years and it is a VERY valuable part of farming. You have to respect it as with EVERYTHING in life. A livestream would be good.👍Take care.
No need to feel frustrated about the idea that you feel you don`t get some message across (13:43) I think you are doing a really good job and I hope you continue to do so. Please keep being yourself, it is much appreciated. Cheers from the Netherlands.
That is nice corn
I really like your videos and you are the only one who has ever answered my question. Thank you
And corn is coming right along looks mint.. rain Tuesday night and big heat so corn going to take off
Great video again Nathan, what with all of the tech advice and insight into growing crops I'll have the lottery win and go farming 👍
I might have to win to keep farming!
No worries if it comes in I'll sort you out 👍
Looks like you need THUNDER. 😉
Ha yeah
I still remember like yesterday 9 years ago..we were planting with jd 40’ air seeder and was very dusty, and field beside a small town. Ppl come running telling us to stop spraying my kids and neighbours are out playing! Lol I’m like we r planting beans! It’s tuff and total understand.
Call that 2 .4.1 lol.. I’d go buy lottery ticket
✌️✌️✌️
Lets hope the starter relay fixes the boat. Looks like that boat should scoot is it water jet or props
Jet
Do you do a full rotation on your irrigated field? Or just corn and beans?
Since we use a traveling gun irrigation its mobile and we don't always irrigate the same field. The field we are going to do this year had wheat last year but that was because we wanted to put some tile in. It probably sees wheat 1 out of 10 years.
@@BorderViewFarms I appreciate the response. I farm in south west Ontario and we do a 3 year corn, soybean, wheat rotation. Irrigation is not common here so its neat to learn about.
Does your sweet corn use nitrogen also
Yes it does but we will just dribble a little 28% liquid on that.
How many units of N are applying to the acre and how much is it costing per ton and per acre?
Rate is variable but between 107 and 200 pounds of actual N. Im honestly not exactly sure the price right now but around $500 a ton for the Anhydrous.
I know there are a lot of variables but based on your statement that the last field that you were in that the corn just doesn’t get any better,what do you expect the yield will be??
A lot of variables yet but easily has over 200 bu/ac. potential. Could be much better with the right weather.
Is there a nitrogen product in a granular state that can be beneficial to the crop in place of the liquid nitrogen you are putting on?
Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
Yes there is. Urea is a granular N source that some people use. The drawbacks to the are trying to get and even spread and it can volitize quickly and evaporate into the air so we either need to incorporate it with tillage or get a rain immediately.
@@BorderViewFarms I learn something every day, thanks.
God bless.
Wat up
Great video. Answered a lot of questions. What rate or lbs do you apply a acre. We apply 300 lbs urea with 50/50 agratan. Seen to work. Got 3 to 4 inches rain onSunday. A lot of big sloughs. First rain of the year.
