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!

After a short hiatus, I am finally back with more videos! Between moving to a house at the farm, having a baby, and other things, my main editor(Ali😎) and I have been rather busy.... There are only 2-3 more videos before we catch up to present day. I appreciate you all continuously watching the videos and supporting the channel!!! Best wishes and enjoy your day. - Andy
Congratulations
At least you usually include the date.
Congratulations Andy !!!
Hope you have had rain since ... wish you a good crop !!!
You're the best
When was this video filmed(roughly)?? Did it rain any after this video??? If so how much sir?

I"m more than happy to support your channnel and really like your content. I appreciate that you don't beg for views, likes , subscribers. As a 61 yr old man that grew up on the farm I also appreciate that your not scared to share your yield results. Kinda tired of all the big dogs not wanting to show what they really do othe than manage half a million subscribers or beg for them. Just shows in this day in age you can be a superstar and can't even throw the ball. Hope you all the success.
I appreciate your support! Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Some people just want to be entertained and not educated... all the power to them. I try to find something in the middle. It's impossible to keep everyone happy!
As a kid grown up on a farm and with sitting in equipment all my childhood, this the best childhood one can have. Your son is super lucky.
I’d like to think so. Thanks for the comment!
Should have put some antisieze on the pins.
someone better buy you some anti-seize for Christmas😉
A farm with no farmers. Makes me want to cry. So I did.
Thanks for watching!
Trippy, congrats on the new baby and moving to the farm!! Your dogs and your family will be much happier in the country. Looking forward to harvest. Keep it between the rows 🚜🌽🌽
Thanks for sharing, very informative. Keep the action and knowledge coming. Definitely look you up at the next one. You all stay safe!
You probably could have handed that bracket to a machine shop and told them to copy it... Probably 1/2 the cost or less. It would have been good to put anti lock grease on that pin, because you're probably going to have galling happen again. That's most likely what happened with the first one.
Watching him drive that pin in there - she's galled already. I can't fault him, I had to learn that way too. He will figure it out for next time.
@@GravyHucker Yeah I learned the hard way too. In my experience, stainless with aluminum is one of the worse. But I've even just had stainless nylon locking nuts get so seized on bolts that they just sheared off the whole bolt trying to get them off.
@@xray606 amazing how.soft stainless really is. And galls like a MF

Just one sip... for science!!!
The water you spray with definitely has a hive effect on spray success for sooo many reasons. You can always ad neutralizer to your water if you think it might have chlorine but soft well water with no stains or iron in it is best.
I am sure that our well water has iron just from the older plumbing in areas, but I could be wrong. I'd like to setup 15-20,000 in storage around the farm to use for cleanout and possibly loading in the future. They say that a full water test is a smart move to determine any corrections that may need applied before use.
900 for that bracket, that's rediculous, yea definitely a rip off for sure, what the heck, good video Andy, thanks for sharing
how are the new grain bins coming along?
Good job guys
Thank you!
It looked like the mounting holes for your wet boom were slotted. Maybe you could adjust them down a bit and get the tips below the frame. I'm sure you know this but if one was just after the plant health benefit, a cheaper fungicide like Headline or Quadris could be used. I used Delaro Complete at it was the same price as that Miravis Neo. $$$
According to the Deere website, the base price for a 640RX is $896k! 🤯
Dang!
That is list price. I'd guess that is sells for 20-25% less than that...still a ton of money.
Have you checked on the y drop an spray nozzles for doing fungicides looks to me would be better coverage on the corn
Little Man looks like great help. . Momma might be concerned over the tool choice .
I bet you’re local fab shop could have made that cheaper
Yeah I would've taken that new one to them and then returned it after they made one lol
I was going to tell him the same thing. Years ago I had to put new skids on hay mower conditioner. Bought 1 for $100. Got shop to make 8 from bisalloy (much harder wearing than steel and lasts about 3 times longer) and they charged $480 for 8. Ie $60 each.
Ask Bill, I'm a stickler for not letting the hose soak in the spray tank when the tank gets full (5:30).....know when to pull out I say! 🤓
Oh, and others have said antisieze is the answer for sticky pins.
Hi,what do you use for Asian beetles? Thanks
That $900. angle iron lart could have been made just as easy at a good welding shop for $100. or so. Think about it !

I buy sweet corn from a local farmer here in SE Wi and he uses no chemicals on the corn. I find some wormy corn but it’s not too bad. He’s been irrigating the corn seeing how we’re in a drought. He charges me $9 a dz which isn’t bad seeing how it’s organic corn.
We sprayed out sweet corn with herbicide when it is little, but that is it. It receives the same nitrogen program that the rest of our corn does. Once it gets taller, we don't apply anything because we do not want any pesticides on the ears, even if there are bugs.
On tbe big yielding crop years disease always seems to be a big issue in disease You can see the massive difference in tbe check strip left in fields. So did you get some rain? Cause this video is not in august
The fungicide prevents corn smut?
Farming with Duffy Ag has applied Source to corn.
And One Lonely Farmer has used “secret sauce “ whatever that is.
If you think stainless bolts would be better for that situation just go and buy them from a bolt shop. And hi from Australia.
It’s always hard loosing a pet. They are part of the family
why a hagie vs a deere + stilt kit?
More support for hagie sprayers at our dealership than Deere sprayers, if you can even believe that!
Is there a y such thing as a 300 bushel corn crop?
People have raised over 600 bushel corn in high-management, irrigated fields. The record is 616 bushels. It is certainly possible for corn averages to push into the 300s in the next 5-10 years depending on climate, breeding, and crop protectants. We've had entire large fields average 270+ before without doing anything crazy!
Why don't you use the inductor on the Hagie to add/mix chemicals?
I don't have an inductor.
@@aTrippyFarmer Whaaat?😅
@@hfff1 that isn’t standard equipment. Mine doesn’t have one!
Andy, can we assume that all of your crops are non gmo? How much N is in good old fashioned cow/horse manure? What are the chemical reactions of mixing your fungicide together with new trial N product? Do you think fertilizing at ground/root level is more effective than at leaf level?
None of our crops are non-gmo. I don't know the nutrition of horse or corn manure, but I do know that long term application of those products build a really healthy soil with high organic matter. Fertilization time and location depends on the product and time of year!
@@aTrippyFarmer Ok, I have not eaten anything GMO in about five years. This trend is catching on enormously. Could I convince you to have some type of a meeting whether it be in person or Skype, Zoom with a farmer that used to grow Gmo crops that has transitioned over to non gmo? I personally would love your input after the meeting.
What is that gray tank beside the hagie ?
That is the clean water rinse tank. It holds 100 gallons for flushing the boom.
@@aTrippyFarmer The big steel tank sitting on the ground ?
@@bladewiper oh that’s an old water storage tank. It’s rusted out
@@aTrippyFarmer 👍👍👍👍
You plant burrus or is that just one of the free shirts you’ve collected? The farm I’m on is burrus dealers.
We have quite a few Don Mario soybeans through Burrus, but we don't have any corn. We had a few bags last year, and it was some of our best corn. It is just hard to fit every brand in the lineup and still get competitive pricing!
@@aTrippyFarmer I understand that! Their soybeans are some of the best around around in our area. Hope they do well for you!
WD40- the "WD" stands for "water displacement"... It's great stuff if you need to dry your cap and rotor and sparkplug wires.... useless for anything else. You should have used Aeroshell MS33 (Military) grease on that pin.
Agree with you 100% WD is not a lubricant that stays more that a day.
Noted! I actually redid all 4 pins recently and put anti-seize on them.
@@aTrippyFarmer love your channel
shouldn't that bracket be covered by warranty ?. i would probably argue until christmas about that bill.
The sprayer isn't brand new. It probably only came with a 1 or 2 year warranty from the factory, and it is almost 4 years old now!
It looks like you got your much needed rains, like 3" one time and 2" another time since this video.
We've had some good rains, but we are still below what we need to have a strong crop!
U need some nice soft water for sprayin b way better!
But the water is rich with micronutrients!!!
@@aTrippyFarmer no
Corporate monopoly and a pay for play government equals extreme price gouging. Its really getting ridiculous at this point .
Yes. This. Surcharges = taxation. Double taxation. All those abusing the public should be jailed.
The secret begins with green iron.
Haha that's more to help with the tax problem!
Anti seize probably would have been the best idea
I wasn't smart enough to do that at the time. I've since redone all 4 pins and coated them with anti-sieze!
huh?
Have you had the possible skin cancer on your nose checked out yet?
The skin cancer was cut out last winter. I had a checkup last week. The Dr. said that there is nothing visibly developing on my nose, and the scar is just not healing great due to the tightness of the skin on my nose.
