Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Thank you Andy...very interesting and informative video!
My pleasure!
Great video Andy. It starts with good seed genetics being placed in a moist active soil web. Insecticide and pesticides pay. Fairy dust foiler feed don't work unless you're in a flowering garden. A healthy bacteria and microbes symbiotic relationship between the available nutrients with in the soil and the plants roots are key to top end yields. Best wishes for a smooth 2024 planting season.
Thanks for the comment. It's not that some of that other stuff doesn't work... it just needs to be used in the right situation to return for its cost.
Thanks for sharing Andy,
Could you use a pointer when looking at field maps?
It would be helpful.
I actually filmed this whole thing with my camera recording my face/talking and my computer doing a screen record of my desktop with mouse pointer directing people around. Unfortunately, my screen video didn't save... so this was the best way to do it without refilming the entire thing!
Watched the whole video, I am not a farmer, but I like the content. I like behind the scenes of anything. Good luck on the 2024 season.
I think it's fun to share information within reason. It's a little disingenuous of some guys in here that promote seed companies then never show any real data other than a 1 second clip of the yield monitor during harvest.
Nice Yields on those Beck's 3555XF soybeans. Been a good fit for our farm in NE Indiana
The Beck's beans have performed well. They catch a lot of flack from other brands, but I've yet to see them do anything but yield in the last few years!
Thanks, my favourite video of the year!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was very informative. There is alot of stuff going on that we non farmers don't realize. Maybe this video educates people cus I learned quite a bit. Actually just watched it a third time. Very good video & explaining things.
Sounds like you're ready for the quiz at the end! 🤣👍
See if you can get the Geiger 715 to test rip next year
Great video
Thanks!
The USDA says {corn} production topped 15.342 billion bushels, above pre-report estimates and 12% larger than 2022, with a record high average yield of 177.3 bushels per acre. (January 12, 2024) Surprising considering: NASA confirms summer 2023 was Earth's hottest on record ( September 16, 2023)
Who’s conning who here?
Local yield tours in our county showed yields down 1-2% from last year here. That is exactly what we harvested for the most part. I think early crop damage was overstated because of the saving rain. It could've been a very poor crop if it didn't rain 5" at once in early July, and I am not saying that lightly. That rain could've added 100 bushels of potential back to our corn crop!
Also, hypothetically speaking, global warming has been great for crop production. If you believe that higher atmospheric carbon is to blame, those increased carbon densities are great for crops. Combined with extended growing seasons in previously swampy, fertile northern lands, you've got a recipe for fantastic crop production.
Your my favorite row crop farm channel. Your definitely one smart cookie. Been watching two year now. Does you tube Mike Mitchell were trippy farmer hats all the time. I’ve always wondered?
I know enough to know that I know very little in the grand scheme of things. I've seen the hat that you're talking about. That isn't associated with me, but I'm not sure what it is for!
Would love to see a trail with irrigation just to see how much in dry years to make big yields no rain more sun just a thought here in the south you never dream without irrigation
There are years where it would be nice to have. The problem is that land in the midwest is normally priced without irrigation. It is hard to justify putting up a pivot or doing other irrigation after buying a farm for 15-20k per acre.
Try stimtide on your soybeans at herbicide timing!
I'll look into it!
Hi from oz Andy. Out here our top notch grain farmers are starting to use yield per acre per inch of rainfall (they put out lots of rain gauges to measure the rain) and that’s the real measure of drought resistance. There have been some very surprising results coming in.
Interesting! What type of realizations are they having? Less rain needed if it's spaced out nicely?
A lot is to do with varieties. Eg same variety same soil and fertiliser but different rainfall some are vary constant yield eg500 kg / ha / 100 mls rain some will do 300 in dry year 400 in average year 500 in good year. Also found soil type can do funny things. Eg in dry year in light sandy soil will do 300 then 400 then back to 300 in good year. So they are now targeting N application to in crop rainfall as well so they don’t waste N. Getting very scientific nowadays.

Not a farmer at all, but love the channel. I liked this info, so much variation makes this a continuing educated guess. Thanks!
Farming is simple yet complicated at the same time! The hardest part is having to wait 1 year at a time to run more trials!
Was the fungicide field you showed corn on corn or after soybeans. Great video.
Corn after soybeans. We don't really do any continuous cropping other than unique situations.
Zach and I were talking to a guy that sales Burrus seed said he went to college with you we talked to him about trying some Don Mario soybeans next
We was at the Gordyville farm show
That had to have been Griffin Greene. He is our Don Mario salesman. Great guy... great family!
Interesting analysis. Any analysis on the fields which were OptiSurfaced?
It wasn't a good year for those areas. The dirt movement combined with the intense scraping of some higher areas resulted in some pretty lackluster yields in specific locations. If it had rained more, it wouldn't have been an issue. I think those projects need a year or two to mellow out before analyzing the yield improvements. Visually, they've worked great!
@@aTrippyFarmer makes sense. Wet years are the ones that you often see 1 year payback on this. Thanks for the feedback.
PS the moisture graph seemed off: Field capacity should be mositure after 1 day for free draining and typically gives max plant growth. Max Fill sounds like Max water content which is when the soil is saturated with no air space left which leads to waterlogging or is thats green line meant to represent max growth?
Also min allowable seems very high or is that when growth starts to decline? still seems high.
I’d be interested to know what the productivity index is for your higher yielding good dirt is vs timber soil or southern IL dirt. We don’t see much yield difference between 130 and 140+ dirt in our area. 110 PI or worse areas were hurt bad for us this year. Also curious if you see any yield drag for pH or PK levels. I’ve never seen much difference in yield but we fertilize mostly based on IL agron handbook.
Our best ground is around the 135-140 area. We have a lot in the 120-135 range. I think our "lighter" soils are probably 100-110, but that is completely guessing. Those fields always end up being surrounded by trees which really hurts yield especially if they're smaller fields. Regardless of soil type, our best ground is stuff that saw a century of cattle manure. You can't buy a farm with more productivity than one that has had a boatload of manure over the years.
I don't have a great analysis of pH and PK levels. My dad has always said that pH affects soybeans more drastically than corn. P and K are an interesting beast. We've poured it on some farms and barely even caused a blip in the soil tests. Other farms test so high that you could probably not fertilize for decades... probably that manure!!!
I have always heard your soil will hold about 10 times your cec of nitrogen at a time (15 cec x10= 150 units) Do you spread any ammonium sulfate on your bean ground?
No. I know a lot of farmers that do. It's definitely a good source of sulfur!
I have heard 100 pounds per acer of ammonium sulfate per acer will gain about 3 bushel per acer, 2023 was the first year I applied 80 lbs and I seemed to gain about 3 bushel per acer ,but was it really the that application or just in the growing season,also have to consider the cost and the price of beans to evaluate the profitability
brians farmimg videos i watch in ohio is around 3000 acres i believe......also , millineal farmer 2000 acres...i cannot find ur acreage,,,but i believe its 2000-3000 acres...
I don't know how you would know exactly what someone farms or even be confident in those numbers... We farm more than your guess by a decent amount.
The internet atrippy, wow, did not know u were that big....left farm in Iowa in 69, tree fell on dad and did him in...we had 700 acres in 69, raised 1000 head of cattle a yr...enjoy all 3 of u farmers, brings back memories
@@ronaldsondergaard1867 that is an unfortunate way to lose a loved one. I am sorry to hear that. My family ran a large cattle herd during that time period. Some say that was more profitable than row crop farming at the time. Things have sure changed now!
interesting

Why do y’all not irrigate
The land here is priced to not need irrigation. It's hard to buy a farm for 15-20k per acre at auction then go spend a boatload on irrigation that doesn't even help you most years.
