    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a TH-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    60 years ago I was doing haying on our New Hampshire dairy farm. Being young at the time I loved the work, especially after coming down from packing a dusty, dirty hayloft in the evening to get a 16 ounce can of Budweiser beer. WOW, that was the best tasting beer ever after that kind of work.

    Hi Ryan,
    It is great watching you and Travis make hay. It has been 55 years since I worked on hay with small bales and hand sacking on trailers! You make it look easy. You make more hay in 4 hours than we did in 10 days. Innovation in equipment has sure cut back on the manual end. Love the videos. Stay safe and godspeed.

    @NeuravnoveRS 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    the area of a circle grows exponentially with its radius so the volume of 283 65 inch bales equals volume of 332 60 inch bales not 306. that is with an assumption that the average density of both bales is the same.

    Great start to the haying season. Best kind of issue, more hay than you thought and where the heck do you store it? Glad you decided to keep the intern around. Hard to find quality labor now.

  • @jamesjohnson5640
    @jamesjohnson5640 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ryan, have you and Travis talked about getting bale 2 or 3 bale accumlators for the back of you balers. That way when you drop a bale you can keep them in a line or one general area. Not a JD dealer but I've seen them in use on JD balers and was impressed with on how you can keep them all in one localized area of the field or waterway. Saves pick up time, saves fuel, and keeps traffic on the field localized to a few areas.
    Having been the kid picking up bales years ago with a just a loader up front and bale fork on the back of a 4320. The 1/4 sect of grass we baled took a couple of days to get back. And driving on hay ground always seemed to stunt it in areas.
    Just a thought.
    Great video, truly enjoy watching you and your brothers videos. Bring back good memories.

    "That's a wrap!" I see what you did there. :)
    There is something really fascinating about both raking and baling of hay. I think it is because it is out in the open and you can see what is happening. Planting or side-dressing is kinda hidden.

    Wow that green is really pretty. We don't have any in southern Oklahoma right now. We are baling pasture blue stem. Which is super dry and very much of a fire hazard. Burnt out 2 year old baler last month. Burnt all we had cut in the morning right before dinner last week. May go back to sickle mowers which won't be as likely to cause fires when you hit a rock .
