- Alrighty, so Timon and I need to get some samples of these Oats sent away for grading, so lets talk about that and how you sample a grain bag.
For extra entertainment, polls, pictures, flash backs, Ashtyn & Chapel, and more interactive content or just to contact Mike 🙂

As always, very informative. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I am so proud of the farmers of Canada. Thank you all for helping feed the world.
so happy mike has a camera man, great job Timmons!
I appreciate you are a "White" vehicle person but I really like the blue and definitely easier to see in a snow storm
The kind of storms they have up there, all vehicles are white by the time you get done doing things. That's what beacon bars are for.
Sure feel sorry for Timmons having to work around that hyper guy ! lol
Tell you a story.........years ago my half brothers had finished wheat and brought a sample to Alberta Pool in Hardisty and manager graded it #3. So not being amused they drove up the road to Lougheed and went into Pioneer which graded it #2. Now there curiosity is up and they walked across the driveway to UGG which was needing grain to fill the elevator and they graded the sample #1. It pays to shop your grain around.
@George the main difference is that it went up two full grades and Mike Mitchell described it as a one grade increase.
Great show Mike ! Well explained, effortless and funny !
I have always said those exhaust tips look like HDMI ports!! You can’t unsee it!
Love the humor do more videos like this and also more videos of the south farm
Thanks for your informative videos Mike. Farmed a bit back in the 60's. Things have changed! New subscriber.
Taking vitera bags to g3 and g3 bags to Richardson is hilarious and I do the same thing in my industry and it does keep everyone honest maybe a little upset but hey if they want my product or my money then they gotta stay humble and put up with my occasional shenanigans 🤣🤣
love the vids Mike keep em coming.
This was very interesting and informative.
Hi from Mb … hope your crops paid out ok…. Ours did well this year. Even after wet and delayed planting season and late harvest
Thanks you for your videos! so interesting
Happy early birthday Chapel 🎉
Mike I bought my trail boss in 2020 New and I haven't had any issues yet I have just under 30,000 miles on mine. Nice trucks.
Richardson Pionneer owns Can Oat Milling in Portage LA Prairie Mb. I just booked a couple loads for them for April delivery.
Those aren't just exhaust outlets on those trucks Mike. They're also forklift pockets so they're easier to stack at the salvage yard.
LMAO..
😂😂😂
Kinda like the Ford with the heated tailgate seats so you have somewhere to sit waiting for the tow truck.
Beautiful truck
Hey Mike
So much for OCD, lol you did 15 steps 😜
Haha. I do the same thing with the bags. Everyone gets a different bag.
The soft release tailgate is wonderful but the electric release is a pain when winter hits! Spray the latches liberally with WD 40.
Hello Mike, big 🌾👍🤣🇮🇹
"if you're taking these buyers to quite a few oats and actually Timon we are." - Mike Mitchell
The 3 liter duramax is a very fuel efficient little motor 👍
I might space my sample holes according to the labeling on the bags for symmetry.
Howdy Mike
Your North farms so far are producing a lot more than the South farms.
Do you see down the road expanding the North operations and making it your primary operation.
The weather certainly for the last couple years has made it difficult for your main farms to make much in the way of profit it seems. Realizing the family dynamics of your operation, might be a difficult thing to do.
Hahaha oh man!!! I like your saying
We have the soft open tailgate on one of the trucks at work, such a pain in the butt being button only, usually takes 3-5 tries to open.
I heard that to Timmon. Bring the buyers to the oats hahaha
Hmmm how is the video 1 Minute out but your comment ist 2 days old?

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺...we were on target for bumper crop harvest this year but with devastating floods accruing the crops have been peetty well destroyed insome parts. There is talk of just burning the fields and starting again.
That's unfortunate. Is that widespread? What are the main types of crops damaged by this.
How does crop insurance work with burning? I assume burning is a possible alternative to working it under to save the nutrients when the soil is too wet to work.
Don't think many people take out crop insurance. Farmers on the east coast were set for a bumper crop. I have never seen raging streams/creeks and rivers in all my time travelling as a livestock buyer as I have in the last month.The rain just did not stop and fields of wheat, conola, oats and barely we're drowned and the prospect of getting onto the fields in some areas would be months away. Many farmer in western New South Wales may be ruined. From Down Under
Depending on size of field/yield sometimes we end up with two 5 gallon pails full.
Mike buy yourself a packing tape gun for your bag tape. It will make it much faster and safer. Don’t want to slice the bag while cutting tape with a blade
Those guns have cutters at the tip - they are much more likely to damage the bag. However, it would be better to cut off a piece before putting the tape on the bag. I always do it that way when taping up vapor barriers in walls.
And an old sugar scoop for filling sample bags more quickly- especially in cold weather when you want to wear gloves.
Mike you are glutton for punishment with those diesel trucks, especially with the troubles you’ve had in the past! We went to all gas they idle all day and always start with no DEF problems ever
I completely get your concerns... but I’d never go back to a gas on the farm for heavy duty use.
Umm he just said the band new trucks where 5.3 gas engines.
@@kevinmeyer3884 umm he said he’s thinking of getting the 3 liter diesel next year and trading these off
@@crandonborth so you rather be stranded on the road with no parts within 1000 miles and it’s 40 below zero!? No thanks I’ve had enough of that this new 7.3 ford is perfect for me
@@scottsand2317 well first off where I live town is 10 miles away at most from the farm... secondly -40° is not gonna happen in eastern Wisconsin. Maybe -10° with a wind chill -30° but that happens maybe 1 or 2 a winter.
You mean it comes with the HDMI exhaust tips 🤣🤣
Mike,speaking of markets,we as farmers are not getting our full value,too many middle men...we need to be doing more processing and selling directly to the end market ourselves
100% agree
Mike will your North Farm employee’s ever make it down to the south farm next year when you are harvesting a massive bumper crop and need the extra help?
As of right now, everyone goes back and forth but hopefully I ll have someone or two permanent there. Whether or not that's in the cards for next year, guess we ll see. 🙂
Nice truck. I have heard that the 3.0L D max is having problems with carbon build up in the turbo. 5.3 will still run year after year. But that's my opinion.. yours may be different.
Keeps trucks under warranty and can run cheap bulk bought dyed diesel.
*Mike gets intimate with grain bag
Timmons: "I don't get paid enough for this!"
I hope you do really well on the oats!
Mike why don't you put up a temporary electric fence (Solar/battery powered) around the bags. Easy to put up and will give a measure of protection from Deer and other animals.
Solar panels and batteries grow legs and walk away in rural Saskatchewan if they are not on an occupied yard.
@George You are right about moose and electric fence, They seem to walk back and forth through it as if it tickles and they like it. I still think a 1 pint sugar scoop can fill sample bags a lot faster and neater than a bare or gloved hand.
Hey Mike,
did you hear of the Nexat Wide span swap body vehicle? It's an interesting concept and I wanted to know what your thoughts on it are.
floods effected crops here in australia, who knows what happen prices in our winter crops
Morning
Do you guys still have back pressure issues in the tank when filling. I remember that from swift current coop
Geeeez you got money bro …
LOL you have a nice crop to sell this year on the north farm next year you should have a nice crop on the south farm a bumper crop is in the forecast for next year just saying
Thought the bagger had a sampler on it
Lol dont spill to much People. Mike spils half the bucket
The gas engine will be much nicer in the cold and with fuel prices now it is still cheaper to run
Farmers in Saskatchewan pay less for diesel than the price at the pumps.
@@jameshill4900 just the road tax then tax write off.
So like 25 cents a liter. But there is a 80 cent difference currently
@@Sicktrickintuner Not in Saskatchewan where Mike is. Current pump price difference is 37 cents / litre.
(based off Regina Coop prices).
@@jameshill4900 Can Canadian farmer run red dye diesel on the road? My neighbors tried and got caught and paid a $10,000 fine.
@@crandonborth If it is for farm use. Mike's truck will be registered with farm plates. You have to attest that you are an active farmer when you register the vehicle. Was your friend in Saskatchewan or different jurisdiction?
Getting 10.2 l/100km with my 6.2l LTZ on the highway
That's really good! These 5.3s so far are around 16.2 L/100
@@mikemitchell2554 I'm getting about 16l/100km pulling 4 shuttles Crop Aid in Australia.
@george ohh and why is that? Do 100% of the chevs blow up
@George Stupid comment 6.2s are older than you
@George i havent heard of one blowing up
Do you contract on the futures market too?
No I don't
Mike
If you have airbags build into the seats, be careful with seat covers , they might hinder the bag from coming out
I lived 65 years without airbags in my car probably can live a little longer too.
@@Showboat_Six newsflash airbags comes standard with all new cars!
@@rvhome5599
Yes and I lived 60 years without them.
@@Showboat_Six the issue is that the seat cover may cause the airbag to mess up and hurt you, instead of coming out properly.
@@ke6gwf
The very reason why they shouldn’t be there in the first place!
can i ask what kind of crop you are harvesting? thx I´m from Eu and i don´t know this crop
What tape do u use
You keep your high country diesel truck u got recently
Yes
No Chevy this time Mike?🤔
Is it possible to option a Silverado with a manual transmission?
Don’t believe you can anymore. Think you can get a Toyota Tacoma with a Manual and maybe the GM/Chev 1/4 tons but that’s about it.
I think you missed taping upone of your sample holes 🙃
Is 1167 still on farm
I wonder, how much did this grain bag cost? Not the contents just the bag
How many bushel will a 300' bag hold?
Around 13,000 bushels give or take crop density.
i guess if you run chevy you have to get new trucks every year lmao.. thats terrible fuel mileage compared to my f150
chevy is the best mike knows!!!
I’m sure you have plenty of tires to use on the ends of those bags why not just use tires
We do, but don't have any up north.. Also a con is they always have mice in the tires 😬 and I hate mice lol
Are these grain bags reusable ?
No, they are cut open when emptying. But they get rolled up in bales and gets recycled in the end.
After emptying, the bags are rolled up and sent for recycling. They are not reusable. Here's a video from last year explaining this th-cam.com/video/JjIcsQSzgSQ/w-d-xo.html
@@adameriksson7986 Thank you !
@@yougoahead Thank you !
I eat one can of sardines every day Mike… come on man…
When we were first married, we bought 10 tins for $1.00. Do the math. I know you think it sounds fishy. Sardines on toast served with tomato soup is a nice lunch. 😊
By the way, a young farm dude with his girl friend told us to get off his land. We pointed out that we were eating lunch on the road allowance. Of course he was trying to impress his girl friend. He said he was heading to his deer stand. . . . He had three 5 gallon pails filled with oats in the box of his truck. . . . Now why would he be headed to his deer stands with buckets of oats? 🤔 We were not born yesterday. . . . By the way, baiting deer is illegal in Alberta. We smiled. . . . have a nice day.
Dude, tape first then poke. Seriously. The bags are getting cheaper made. Triangle is fine.
Come on Mike how can you not like Crome when your a CROME DOME !!!!
LOL !!
My so laughs his butt off every time you say SEMI !
You know south of the border US Americans don’t say SIMMY
it’s Sim-I :)
Keep up the great videos you millennial Canuck you !
I suppose you know Zech Johnson The millennial farmer ?
Or maybe Chet Larson
Larson Farms ?
I’m from the Dawson Minnesota area !
Believe it or not back in the day my mother and father was going to sell the family farm and actually buy 1000 acres in Manitoba Canada !!
But they were not allowed to buy any land because they were not Canadian citizens !!
True story !!
Maybe their laws have changed since then but it used to be you had to be a Canadian citizen in order to buy land !
Not like the US I heard China owns hundreds of thousands of acres and why is Bill Gates the largest landowner in the US I heard he owns like 1,000,000 acres or something crazy like that of farm land !!
Happy Holidays !
And don’t be afraid to say MERRY CHRISTMAS !
Always put Christ First and YOU won’t be last !
( or left behind ) lol ….
I never eat grains,
Grains are for poor people.
I eat steak and eggs, with ton of butter on top.
18 Liter/100km????? Wtffff. Our german 40t trucks need 40 when you don't go on the Highway, then we get IT Down to 32l/100km
And your truck isnt 20t heavy😂
No worries, there is plenty!
The current oil prices are all because of politics . We deserve all this unrest because we actually voted for it .
Well said, good sir. It's nothing about the current state of what actually happens on the world. Well, might be a pinch of what is happening. But, the dang politics does blame on the current situation in the world's. Allthough, we all know what the real reason would be. As you said, it's the politician. Atleast this is the situation in Sweden. I haven't voted at all here in Sweden because it's all shit anyways.
Who's your messiah that'll solve all the problems ?
If “you” voted for it, can you explain why the rest of the world have high fuel prices too?? You did hear about the world market? You do understand what shapes the fuel prices? Like expectations and demand…..
No we all didn't vote for it just the uneducated democrates voted for it, that's fact
@@Stigsens1 we have tons to sell...but..politics
You need to put a solar powered electric fence around the bag so that everything that comes up there that wants to eat from it gets a shock!
it would just get knocked down.
