Australian farmers checking out the American farmers and so on. This is how we pick up ideas from each other and use them in our own operation.
Thanks for the ride along. Always enjoy listening to your past experiences and future plans. Learned a few things by listening to the way you guys do things. Thanks!
Thanks for update, enjoy seeing the crops and hearing your stories!
I’m retired contractor in Australia. Have done lots oats in head. Best way is cut and bale behind mower with combination baler/wrapper. With lucerne (you’re alfalfa) it will make exceptional silage. We had some mix test 2nd best lab had ever tested(in about 2000)
Travis in the future you should start your videos when you are close to getting the field done and we get a live look of you finishing it up👍 love the videos and the channel
I love the scenery. So beautiful with the rolling hills and mountains. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the ride along. Good stuff stay safe.
Another great video. Amazing what topics you cover in a video
I enjoy the 30 minute videos always love what you have to say and I learn a lot as well glad your channel is coming back to life love the scenery you have while cutting that field keep up the great work
What a beautiful farm. Enjoyed the ridealong looking outside the tractor windows as the contours rolled past!
Mother bin idea sounds great! As an Australian we will have to teach u a bit of Aussie slang to go along with this idea haha!
Don’t apologize enjoyed the video
Yrs ago I put up oat hay. Swath it as soon as it heads out. It made good hay!
thank you
Very nice video👍 it is just awesome to see that your operation is constantly improving. Thank you for posting your great videos, I enjoy every single one of them👍👍
but i gotta say i really like the action shots in the tractor too!:)
Don't know what minerals you use with the cows, but we have had good luck using seaweed based licks. Probably lots of trace minerals in it. We keep all our replacements, cull hard, bad looking cows bad feet and cows that don't go in calf go down the road. It's taken afew years but happy with the system now .
Thanks for the tractor talk Travis as a 65 year old retired farmer I would have loved to have meet your Grandpa and chatted with him. Hope you have a great upcoming week 👍🇺🇸
I do some oats every year for hay. In 2019 I couldn't get them cut until they were very ripe like yours, I planned on using it for bedding. But whenever I spread a bale for bedding the cattle would eat every last bit of it, so I started feeding it in the round feeder. Cattle LOVE oats, no matter how ripe it is.
Drove by the home farm last night and crops look great, so does the corn across the road.
Thanks for the discussion. Facilities are a must like you say. Cows are a profit center if set up right
always enjoy hearing you goals and dreams, as you said farming always changes and you have to be very flexible, but when it's going right you build on that just like you were talking. Keep it up!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.
Good job Travis, mower is running sweet👌👍👍😎
Loved it!
Our beef cows love oats hay bales. Ours usually has a little ryegrass and clover with it. Alfalfa and oats thigh would be really nice and then works good for needing too. 👍👍
Great video Travis! Thanks for chatting with us and bringing us along as you cut the cover crops.
I hope me watching every video 4 or 5 times helps. I love watching both Yours and Ryans. Hey Travis could we get some more of Dad? but I will do what I can . I don't know how much youtube helps fund your opperation but I hope it does. I pray the Lord JESUS blesses the whole Kuster farm and Family with over abundance of yealds and caves.
I get to watch and listen to you every day and You don't know me from adams house cat. I do wish I had the money to buy you what 4 or 6 more suitcase weights and 2 450# wheel weights. OK take care, keep in touch, see you later.
Thanks for the update, always enjoy seeing the haybine working. Your beans are looking good!
I can feel for you when you talk about the strips in the fields. My old boss was extremely conscientious about erosion. We had hillsides that the strips were only 60 to 80 ft wide. What a pain in the butt to turn around with a pull-behind chopper and a wagon or a small square baler and a wagon. Might've conserved topsoil but lost a lot in what crop you ran down opening them up and the time and fuel you spent turning around to get to the center
Thank you for making consistently good videos. I have been watching for almost 3 years now and have noticed a great improvement. Maybe it's your "little one's" influence, or maybe it's getting back to what you love... I do not know. I know I look forward to your videos and That is good.
Always enjoy the cab talks, and hearing your views and plans for the farm's future. Great video Travis!
Contours were more a thing when plowing was still big. It made more sense then. Now that we've gone to a more minimum tillage/no-till applications contours aren't really needed for erosion anymore
Very nice chat today while cutting oats. We like the long videos!! Your row crops are looking nice. Thanks for the update and video Travis!!
Great job Travis! Love your effort. Thanks and have a good day.
Farming has changed so much over the last 20 years, efficiency is now where you make your profit for the most part. As for the oats if you wrap them moist and make baleage the pickling effect will actually break down the straw and make excellent feed. I would agree 100% with Ryan's thoughts, once you guy see the benefits of feeding bale silage you will never go away from it. You may well find it will also help with your issue of getting cows back in calf. :)
If you're half as successful in applying all in active management to your herd as you've been with the valley, your cows will be squared away in short order. Great vid.
I remember when we use to plant oats an sure looks beautiful golden ready to combine than get a heavy resin or windstorm sections is is flat making it tougher to combine kinda neat though hearing dad’s Massey Ferguson 410 gas powered barking through it. An Rag weed terrible with my alagies.
Good 👍 job man
love your videos travis, good job making the best videos and i will always be a viewer
I loved the video Trav the oats look great I'm sure the cows will eat a lot of it and like you said what they don't will make high priced fertilized keep strong my friend 💪💪👍😎
Really enjoy hearing about the plans a d desires you have for going forward. I would like to know your 5 and 10 year plans.
I went looking for your location.... no GPS..ha to find where your farm is
All of your videos are enjoyable. Prefer the ones where you are talking during the video instead of voice over. Voice over is would be better for adding to what was said during the video.
love the content!
Hi there from New Zealand would you consider Barley as a cover crop because down here its used for cattle & pig feed.
Maybe your climate etc might not work out.
Barley will grow just fine. Just like wheat and oats
At 7 bucks a bushel I'm combining mine lol
4.50 local here
@@TheRestOfTheStory that's sure a big difference
Thx for sharing the video, and for making them. I like them a lot ! Is this a new farm or do you farm it some more years ? Doesn't look familiar. Greetings from Belgium
It's on the farm I live on
@@TheRestOfTheStory thx ;-)
Just curiousity why aren't you cutting a full swath for cost efficiency?
Talking to the camera, running 6-8 mph on strips trying to split my attention to many directions
If u need straw y not harvest oats just wondering.
If your cows don't eat that there is something wrong with the cows
I don't see why it is called contour farming because If it is a true contour the elevation would not change per pass like on a geographical contour map......
It's about planting so the rows are perpendicular with the water flow to minimalize erosion.
