  • 2021 Corn Harvest with Dick Lavy Farms
    In this video I am out in the field in Darke County Ohio with Dick Lavy Farms as they finish up harvesting their 2021 corn crop. In this video they are running their Case IH 8250 combines with 12 row 4412 corn heads. Running beside the combines hauling the corn top the trucks is two of their Case IH 420 tractors pulling Unverferth 1319 track grain carts. This video was shot in two different fields between Arcanum and New Madison Ohio

  • @paulosanderson785

    Hey Mike, I've always wondered about something. Who controls where the grain is flowing into the cart? Does the tractor operator have cameras to adjust his speed, or does the combine operator adjust his? What if he is in heavy crop and can't speed up? Or do they communicate via radio?

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The combine operator has the best view of the cart to fill it as needed. Ideally the grain cart operator gets in position and runs a matched speed and lets the combine speed up or slow down to fill the cart.

    I'm Curious why they aren't running 16 row headers. Those class 8 combines can handle it. Is it the trucks and grain carts couldn't keep up? I see they have those great LSW tires on the combines. They should have devastators or stalk stompers on to protect them or is that a new thing that is just catching on?

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't ask farmers these questions but my guess is they plant with 24 row planters so the 12 row headers match up.

      Matching the sound up to the drone shots takes lots of work and time. I did get a new microphone a while ago but perfecting the sound is something I can always improve on.

      Hey go ahead and make fun if you want. When I started doing the TH-cam I did no voice over. Then I started getting lots of comments asking what was going on in the video. There is a lot of non farm people that enjoy these videos and like the explanation. I know my videos will never please everyone but according to my analytics I have a 98-99% like versus dislike. I’m guessing you’re in that dislike category but thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

      @@farmhandmike I agree, that is how the free market works. I’m not saying he’s doing anything that’s not allowed or that shouldn’t be allowed. I’m simply saying that I’ve seen smaller local farmers lose ground because of Dick Lavy Farms. Again, I understand that there’s nothing inherently wrong with anything he does. I guess I just have a poor opinion of someone who owns 10,000+ acres and still takes opportunities away from smaller farms. It doesn’t help the local community here
