Flabbergasted by some of the wheat yields I see on here. We’re doing the ancient grain varieties. Very leggy, lodgy, the combine won’t process the hulls, requires additional processing back at the farm. Their are several saving graces. One, they yield the same whether you dual purpose (graze in the late fall) or not. You can go in after about 5 over night freezes and as deep as you can get it, interplant early maturing pulses and it picks up the yield 10 a whopping 40 lol) instead of hurting yields. You have further processing to do anyways, so getting everything sorted isn’t that much extra work, and you’ll get some micro yield marketable pulse crops, 10-20 bushel as an added bonus, and their is plenty of time to plant an array of edible bean crops. Yep, I’m that guy, the village weirdo. But is ungodly profitable. We’ve gone from 300 to 3000 acres that are almost paid off in 20 years, and the 1st 5 was a lot of hard lessons. We’ve got ink on paper to buy out some ground we custom farm. That gives me a little time to rest once I toss the keys to my kids and take the big dirt nap. Your videos are so well done, I’m in awe. Thanks for all your efforts.
I agree that the combine is doing well pulling that downed wheat into the head but since you are not going to toot your own chain I am going to toot it for you that also has a lot to do with the operator of the combine. You sit are an operator of machinery not just a driver. By the way I love your channel. I get a tickle when you get giddy about your crops. Keep up the great work.
I think it was 1981 we replanted about 400 plus acres over the 4th they did fairly good, around 35 ish Got good moisture to plant in And tearing it up is the way to go Have a good 4th harvesting !!
Nice wheat yields! Glad to see you happy and fired up about harvest . Good yields definitely help boost the mood along with decent prices and it makes farming less stressful. We are having great yields on our wheat as well . We dont bale our straw we leave it as a mulch but we cut the wheat slightly lower than what you do and we have upgraded straw choppers on our gleaners . We also plant our beans with a horsch maestro split row planter that can plant 30 and 15 inch rows on corn and soybeans. Take care and keep up the good work!
Happy Fourth of July, thank you for taking the time to show all of your adventures in farming. It would be so much easier on you to not swing the camera and show all your mistakes. Having farmed for most of my life,I understand the little mistakes. Again thank you.
Happy for your yields & enthusiasm. Sadly though a neighbor state farmer has posted a video wherein an entire corn field has been destroyed by hail with wind. The fickle finger of fate smiles upon some & applies a backhand to others. Crop insurance❓ No, the hail coverage cost per acre is prohibitive, so the loss is truly a loss.😢
it flashed in my mind... ''disk in moneing, morning dew gets on stubble, gets into ground, makes better babyseedsgrow'' sooo ummmm ;) I hope you get ALL YOUR HARVEST out of the field before ''WEATHER'' interrutpus!!! EVERY ONE :) GOOD HARVEST TO EVERYONE :)
Do you cover the pit in winter,❓ how does the pit drain surface water❓ is cleaning the pit a big chore❓ there was a video addressing the pit, forgot specifics🙊👀
Yes we cover it. We sit on a high spot and we're able to use the field tile to drain it naturally. Its not fun to clean, Phil usually takes care of it.
Nice yield on that wheat field! As I was watching the beans go into the air seeder, I was wondering why they weren't backing up... And then you went "oh crap" and yep, gears confirmed: clean out doors! Happy Fourth!
I am a South African farming in Angola Shelbourne Stripper Headers are monsters in wheat,the increase the harvester capacity easily by 30% as less material need to go through the machine and allow earlier harvesting as well.They also pick up dowmed wheat very effectively.
Over here in the UK it definitely has a value for animal bedding and if treated with an aqueous ammonia solution once stacked and with a simple seal cover has a feed value of about average hay. An increasingly important market for it is for fuel for local power stations. Increasingly though farmers want to retain it on the fields where it is grown for a. additional organic matter for the soil and b. it has, once broken down in the soil, phosphate and potash values for plant nutrient levels.

So satisfying watching that wheat feed into the combine!
Great video. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep the videos coming
It's is a very good feeling to be putting up good crops. Is a good stress relief.
I was looking forward to you notilling in those beans 😅
Happy 4th of July, to you and your family 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That's a really nice grain cart.
Wheat is looking real good for ya Nathan. We're averaging after 400 acres 98 bushels at 13.3 %. Have a good day bud.👍😁
Around here they bale them in big round bales for mushroom bedding mostly
I’m surprised the straw is dry enough to bale and not heat up. Great looking wheat!
Good morning...

Finally! The airseeder! Niceee
Nice video sir👍🏻

Always treat your beans! Phytothora, aphids and bean leaf beetles are yield robbers.
If we even get 10% of your yield, on HRSW it’ll be lucky this year, in central ND.

EVERY ONE :) GOOD HARVEST TO EVERYONE :)
...even if you only harvest'n ''good times'' ;) ;) nudge nudge ;) LOL

La bestia
I farm in Tennessee our wheat was the best I have ever cut. We average 92 but out in the middle it was not uncommon to see 120 up to 150.
Nice yield on that wheat field!

Happy 4th
Happy 4th! What is a typical wheat yield range for your farms?
Maybe you need to switch to Massey Ferguson or even Case tractors and have less issues.

I've only ever seen 1 of those around here. More popular out west but I can certainly see the advantage.
How much more fertilizer do you have to put on when you take Straw off?
Nice job Sir do you make any money on the straw just curious have a good fourth of July

Yes we sell the straw to the guy that bales it.
How much per lb do you sell straw for ??
You have to replace the fertility that leaves with the straw
John Deere does A great job
Do you sell the straw
Yes
chez nous pour pas avoir de blé versé on pulvérise un raccourcisseur dot le nom est MEDAX ou PRODAX de BASF en schwitzerland
dont think you need fifty gallon of resevoir oil in that hoist....seeems like alot.....
✌️🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
Happy 4th
