  • Wheat Harvest 2023 at Crossroad Farms in Indiana
    In this video I am out at Crossroad Farms near Williamsport Indiana. To start of they are busy harvesting their 2023 winter wheat crop using two of their John Deere X9 combines both with 50 foot wide flex draper heads. After the wheat is harvested they are raking, baling & stacking the wheat straw then tilling the ground and planting soybeans.
    This is a long video with lots of different tractors and equipment running to get the job done.

    Mike, thanks, great videos. That is our food, that is the source. Then the journey to our table. People need to know. All that investment, high risk due to weather and other factors. It could all go wrong. Thank the farmers.

    This farm operation isn’t far from me and it’s awesome seeing the video. It’s a huge operation and Mike has really gone through hoops to give us this inside view because we’re seeing more of the operations in this video than you can even see in person. Very private ordeal with multiple landlords and owners. So thank you very much for this opportunity. For those wondering how large this farm operation is just know for North America and the Midwest it’s a big operation and closed info to the public for several reasons.

      @switzerblitzer2701 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@davehughesfarm7983 Yes Dave, you are probably right on target with your post. The bigger problem is that Crossroad Farms didn't get this large all by itself. They had over $15.5M in help from the federal government, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Almost anyone can make it with that much financial backing without having to do any more work to get it. Farming is considered to be of a national security type business and if that is the case then there should be more people on the land and not less and less farmers. It's a can't fail dilemma which guarantees wealthy farmers to become even more wealthy at the taxpayer's expense. Subsidies SHOULD be based on need, income and start-ups and NOT volume of production. I was born and raised farming too and our backup was livestock and not subsidized crop insurance, price guarantees, etc. A big belly is quickly becoming a trademark of modern American farming. Isn't it comforting to know that most all the equipment in this video is "owned" by the American taxpayer but the taxpayer will never see a return on investment? Take a look.... farm.ewg.org/persondetail.php?custnumber=A03182883 BTW, nice video Mike.

      The equipment can rely on computer control without the fairy-tale AI. The computers still have to be programmed by humans. I'll accept AI after one computer falls in love with another computer, they get married and they give birth to little computers. It ain't gonna happen.

    Having the combine harvester spread the hay on the field surface is a very good tactic. Thus, the straw that receives 1 - 2 winds dries instantly and becomes ready for bale making. The most important thing in the baling business is to first make the straw very thin, and then move the straw bales as soon as possible before they get caught in the rain. nice workmanship...
