I know your photography business and the time you spend with youtube are not showcased on your videos, but your lifestyle is very enviable, from my perspective. I remember as a newly wed, working full time in the factory (shift work) and farming after hours. I farmed 350 acres with a Farmall 706 diesel and 3 furrow semi-mounted plow. I don't know why I didn't quit. I think those days are why I think the way I do today. "Cash is King". I started from scratch. No hand-ups. I can now sell-out (64 YO) and bank my profits and let the young guys go crazy. Just remember, the market doesn't give a rat's ass about your costs. Never did, never will. Let's hope the world eats up the huge surplus we have today and the margins can grow a little healthier. I decide to pull the pin and head for the barn a month ago. I'm done. I recently offered my farm to a young guy, I asked him is this what you really want to do (farm), then it's yours. I'll help him all I can. It's been an adventure. I hope someone gives you the break you deserve. Your friend Doug.
Everyday on the farm is never the same, except chores. Midland radios, a great addition for communications. All around farm dog Rocket +++, Nice vid, stay safe Kusters.
Somehow my eyes don't tear up when a farmer is sitting in a Denali complaining about his small government check ..lol..sounds like my brother and dad who farm .
I would love for your guys dad to start a you tube channel. I can hear him now. Complaining about the kids and their toys....lol... I'm not a farmer. Grew up around farms working on friend's parents farm when a youngster. Love the channel very entertaining
GMSR frequencies actually require a license and they assign you a call sign. It's $65 for a 5 year license that covers all family members. If you stick to the FSR channels then no license requirements. Those radios have both channel sets on them.
On the corn... I inquired this year a feed specialist on cracking the corn. Long story short he claimed if your feeding a hay ration on top of shelled corn you could be looking at as much as 50% loss on not cracking. But, if your just feeding shell corn like to feeder steers say there digestive system slows down and will absorb way more. That's where it's sometimes worth weighing out of grinding or rolling is worth it. That's just what I was told and I condensed it for you. Keep up the good work.
Joining a couple others in asking about feeding whole kernal corn. I see references throughout farm videos that it needs to be cracked, rolled or somehow broken down to be digested.
I like the GM truck interior, we just got a 2017 Chevy 3500 6.0 dump truck and the only thing going for it is the interior haha springs bottom out and it's gutless.
We use a Skoda Yeti with 40 mpg, only a 1.2L engine we pay $8 per gallon... it is a great car :) wish I could run a dodge Ram with a 6Bt Cummins on waste veg oil.
Ryan, don't expect to get the distance listed on the Midland radio package. Those are vastly over-rated and are for ideal circumstances like talking from one mountain top to another mountain top with no obstacles in between. Under typical conditions you might get half the distance listed when talking between hand held radios.
Call the higher powered radios "mobile" and the others hand held or 'walkie talkies.' Of course if you had someone in an office you install a mobile inside for the office to use.
Doesn’t the shell corn out of the bin need crushed or flatten in a crimper for the cattle to get any food value from the corn. Dad and grandpa always said if it goes in whole it comes out whole. Just wondering. Good video!!
Somebody teach me please. I see the guys bailing corn stalks which I understand is fodder. Also the bale alfalfa and other grasses. I think the fodder is just for the small calves to lay on to sleep and rest and the other cleaner bales are used for feed for the larger cows. Is this right? Thanks.
My 2000 dodge ram diesel with Manual transmission gets 24 mpg 16 hauling the stock trailer loaded."11cows" it's not a stock pickup. If you get rid of that DEF put a better flow exhaust, cold air intake and a good Tune on it you will get better mpg.
V&G farm only thing with a cold air intake is u only get like 2 more mpg and maybe 8 horse power not really worth the money if ya ask me. If it was I would have done it to mine already
I filled up my truck on top of a mountain and drove down the 3 mile decent and my computer said I was getting 77 mpg. I don't really think those computers are an accurate way to check your mpg.
My pickup doesnt have that feature (96) but my car does and i find that it estimates low. 19 gallon tank and it will say i have sixty miles to empty about 3 gallons but it will only take like 14
You’re going down hill, the computers (these days) are some what accurate (2+/- MPG). Going down hill means the engines are not really using any fuel because the gravity is not only going against the vehicle but is also propelling it. Therefore why you got 77 MPG downhill.
I am surprised you don't have a spray in Bedliner in your Denali. I just bought a 2017 Silverado 6 months ago and it was 52k and I put one in to protect my investment. and I know Denali's are alot more than that. Is their a reason that you haven't bought one?
Because she didn't care for the comments about her clothing choices and people telling her how to act on camera. I don't blame her for stepping out of the videos.
Jamie Procarione, sorry to hear that, really enjoyed seeing you in videos, especially when you were learning something new! Some people just do not have any respect anymore, and there are way too many keyboard badas**s out there now that are most likely cowards in real life! At least you had the courage to step up and try new things and put it out there for the world to see, I'm sure most of them would never do that! Make sure and keep Ryan and Travis out of trouble! :-)
Jamie Procarione it's sad that people troll just to make their pity lives better, in their own eyes. Always enjoy seeing you in Ryans vids, hope to at least see you all together from time to time.
To understand the market. The US Government back in the 1930's promised Americans they would always have cheap food. Unfortunately that falls on the backs of farmers and food middle men with price control. Is this fair ? Well that is the cards dealt to you. The market prices are set, not by what the farmers want to sell, but by what usurers ( customers) are willing to pay. Usurers would be the Pillsbury, Purina, Walmart, ect ect. Weather comes in to play nationwide as per droughts, too much rain, hail so a great crop will be priced low because there is no shortage. It is a delicate system, bur other industries have forms of price control too....
What you're talking about is supply and demand. There is no price controls... They tried production controls on a lot of crops in the 50's and 60's (and even into the early 70's and longer with some crops like tobacco where you had to have an allotment to even plant the stuff, but it didn't work.) When we cut production some other country simply ups production and keeps the price low. The ONLY form of "price/production control" that has worked has been DeBeers with diamonds, and the International Sugar Compact which limits sugar production. We live in a "world economy" now where the US farmer is expected to compete against the world's cheapest producers... it's a race to the bottom. I know in the cotton business, we were expected to compete against African villagers growing garden plots of cotton behind their huts and getting paid 6 cents a pound for cotton. If it's not that it's China-- average cotton farm size in China is about 2.5 acres... they go to the communist co-op and buy a bag of cotton seed-- not 50 pounds but it comes in a little bag like popcorn! They plant by hand, weed by hand, fertilize it with hog manure from hogs they raise, go through the field and pick off the bugs and squash them and pinch the growing points if it starts getting too tall instead of using growth regulator sprays, and then pick it by hand and haul it to the gin and sell it to the gubmint co-op... Just a TOTALLY different means of production-- all they have in it is labor and therefore everything they get is PROFIT... Not like the US where a new cotton picker STARTS at $600,000 and goes up from there... let alone the other costs of production. It's the same with everything else... it's all "supply and demand" and of course that is just a race to the bottom, because there is *always* someone who can grow it CHEAPER than you can and *still make money*. Maybe not much, but *enough*. Later! OL J R :)
Ryan .... As far as I'm concerned ... Whatever vid you put up is OK by me ..... ALL of them are interesting .... To an ancient (67) disabled NON farmer ..... :) Best wishes to you all ...... :)
The quality, professionally edited videos Ryan makes take several hours to put together. Daily vlogs aren't really viable for him. The Rest of the Story videos by Travis are more "raw" and don't take near the time to edit so he can do daily vlogs just fine.
If you would have asked me to whisper sweet nothings to you I would have told you to move away from the trash burning Barrel the plastic fumes are getting to you

Those Midland radios were a nice gift

Really nice of Midland send you new radios.

Great video, very enjoyable. Many thanks
great videos, keep them coming please.
Great video, love it. Keep it up!!
Thanks Ryan have good Sunday
I'm sorry Jamie I upset you. You did do a Lot for How Farm works But I do understand how your feeling. (Happy birthday Jamie25th)
lol ur like whisper sweet nothings in my ear and the cat replies with a meow...soo funnny
I enjoyed your vid and I'm glad you did that flat Stanley video for that young student.
Looks like rocket wanted you to take the Gator out for a trip.
Great video!
When all else fails, read the instructions. Love the calves best of all.
Great vid guys keep it up
Good too see your not over worked on the farm Ryan

You should do more of these
best channel ever!!!!
Joining a couple others in asking about feeding whole kernal corn. I see references throughout farm videos that it needs to be cracked, rolled or somehow broken down to be digested.
Rocket is a corn dog.
Matthew Hoag indeed
Matthew Hoag I
I was wondering what the dog did with the corn cobb also. Probably buried it wanting it to grow for next year.
I like the GM truck interior, we just got a 2017 Chevy 3500 6.0 dump truck and the only thing going for it is the interior haha springs bottom out and it's gutless.
I live in Reedsburg Wisconsin a decent size town about 2 hours north of you guys and I am your biggest fan I have really wanted to meet you
We use a Skoda Yeti with 40 mpg, only a 1.2L engine we pay $8 per gallon... it is a great car :) wish I could run a dodge Ram with a 6Bt Cummins on waste veg oil.

Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless stay safe Kusters 👍
Cool! I'm a weather radio enthusiast and Midland is a weather radio company. Trust me Midland has good quality!
What base units did you get looking to buy a simple radio
You need a cell tower booster we boost pro under $570, ideal when your in the country.
Why do you have to calibrate the moisture indicator in the combine
Do u have to get a permit or something to fly your drone
What happened to your commercials. I miss those. Better rain at this point than Snow.
Call the higher powered radios "mobile" and the others hand held or 'walkie talkies.' Of course if you had someone in an office you install a mobile inside for the office to use.
Does your truck drop to 4 cylinders when less power is needed?
Would you not get more feed value if you ground or at least cracked the shelled corn.
Shelling the corn with Yr bare hands put more moisture on when yr testing it.
Doesn’t the shell corn out of the bin need crushed or flatten in a crimper for the cattle to get any food value from the corn. Dad and grandpa always said if it goes in whole it comes out whole. Just wondering. Good video!!
Jrbpa 57 l
So agree and yes the efficiency of gain to feed consumed is decreased.
Is the check at least most of a truck payment?
I get 20 in 2 wheel around town in my 08 Silverado
Gve us more "Day-in-the-life".
How often do you give your cows hay
Somebody teach me please. I see the guys bailing corn stalks which I understand is fodder. Also the bale alfalfa and other grasses. I think the fodder is just for the small calves to lay on to sleep and rest and the other cleaner bales are used for feed for the larger cows. Is this right? Thanks.
Cow at our farm get alfalfa and corn silage and corn stalks for bedding and our steers get ground corn and protein and corn silage
You should do videos like these more offten
+CornMartini, agreed
How many kilograms do those bales wheigh?
You dont roll that corn?
The crop insurance situation is ridiculous.
how many weddings do you do each month ?
What breed of dog is rocket
Last comment hit nail on head. "I don't expect anything from government, its like a bonus!" Then don't cash it and tell them you declined payment.
How much does it cost to fill your truck up from empty?..
Next video: A Day in the Life of You and Me!
Still think you should get a loadall Ryan
They would load all around them if they had one of them Tom. Du get it ?😂😂. Sorry I had to say it 😂
How many cattle you guys got now Travis?
Robby Blades that’s not Travis recording that’s ryan
Ryan I see that your brother Travis like the gator I am looking at a used gator for my farm
Do you name your cows? Hahahaha. I name ours too
What kind of dog is rocket??
Does your dad have an off the farm job also?
My 2000 dodge ram diesel with Manual transmission gets 24 mpg 16 hauling the stock trailer loaded."11cows" it's not a stock pickup. If you get rid of that DEF put a better flow exhaust, cold air intake and a good Tune on it you will get better mpg.
V&G farm only thing with a cold air intake is u only get like 2 more mpg and maybe 8 horse power not really worth the money if ya ask me. If it was I would have done it to mine already
Cold air does nothing. When air goes in the intake and gets compressed by the turbo it needs to be hot.
I filled up my truck on top of a mountain and drove down the 3 mile decent and my computer said I was getting 77 mpg. I don't really think those computers are an accurate way to check your mpg.
They can be very accurate but not always
My pickup doesnt have that feature (96) but my car does and i find that it estimates low. 19 gallon tank and it will say i have sixty miles to empty about 3 gallons but it will only take like 14

I am surprised you don't have a spray in Bedliner in your Denali. I just bought a 2017 Silverado 6 months ago and it was 52k and I put one in to protect my investment. and I know Denali's are alot more than that. Is their a reason that you haven't bought one?
+Crazy Craig's RC's and 3d That comes stock.
#comebackjamie!
Instead of the new Midland radios, why not use cell phones?
Why didn't you get a dully
When are you getting your truck Line X'ed???? or a liner in gen??
They come stock with a spray in bed liner
not his if you look in the box in the vid its just painted blue lol
(********6:27********)
Oh. That must be an option Our new Silverado came with it
Also just noticed that's not his truck. It's either his dad's or Travis's at 6:27
I love corn 🌽 dogs
rino line for your truck
we haven't seen jamie for awhile.
Because she didn't care for the comments about her clothing choices and people telling her how to act on camera. I don't blame her for stepping out of the videos.
Jamie Procarione Yeah I agree. People are so picky with TH-cam now than it was a couple years ago.
Very sorry to hear this.
Jamie Procarione, sorry to hear that, really enjoyed seeing you in videos, especially when you were learning something new! Some people just do not have any respect anymore, and there are way too many keyboard badas**s out there now that are most likely cowards in real life! At least you had the courage to step up and try new things and put it out there for the world to see, I'm sure most of them would never do that! Make sure and keep Ryan and Travis out of trouble! :-)
Jamie Procarione it's sad that people troll just to make their pity lives better, in their own eyes. Always enjoy seeing you in Ryans vids, hope to at least see you all together from time to time.
What does your dad do for a job
as the truck gets broke in more it could get better
Why do you have a boat?
Why don't you have one. Thats his business
🚜👍🏼👀🤘🏽
He said, negative ghost rider, the pattern is full...
ryan
Is your truck a gas or a diesel
Hi
Its diesel
Diesel, gas is quitter that diesel.
is that pickup gas
Diesel

Your dad has a job besides for the farm?
I like rocket
Can I work on your farm
plz plz plz tell me that that GMC truck is a diesel
Yep
good!
That money won't even make a truck payment

Do a day in the life of your Father
Great drill!!! DeWALT!
You're ready corn right?
F all the haters
Boys ye have the time of reilly lol
Yes that’s awesome idea having radio,walky talkies
you should start doing daily vlogs.
Yes!
The quality, professionally edited videos Ryan makes take several hours to put together. Daily vlogs aren't really viable for him. The Rest of the Story videos by Travis are more "raw" and don't take near the time to edit so he can do daily vlogs just fine.
Ryan if you delete and tune your truck it would get better gas mileage
It's illegal to delete trucks and voids any warranty.
case315mag who the hell cares about emissions its better for your truck if you delete it its been proven that def kills your motor faster
bo how? DEF has nothing to do with the engine. It treats the exhaust gas only.
AWD3264 it does you could go ask anyone that deletes and tunes truvks they will tell you its not good for you engine
AWD3264 there has been people that tune trucks that say its not good
First like
Russell Couch does that matter?
The more work you do, the less you get in return. Eventually you will pay the Govt to work. Oh wait, we kinda do that now....
Is he married to jamie
I'm a duck
Duck, Duck,... Goose!
CM Wings?? LOL:) OL J R :)
If you would have asked me to whisper sweet nothings to you
I would have told you to move away from the trash burning Barrel the plastic fumes are getting to you
a lot of truck for a farm truck. who buys a denali for a farm truck
Was the same price for an SLT so I jumped on it
