Great drone footage. Loved showing the contours of the land and waning hours of the day. You guys videos help me thru the day. I was a wanna be farmer that early Parkisons disease interupted. Thanks
Beautiful video, my mind is flooded with memories. Lot smaller equipment back then but the same process. Nothing better then shelling corn on a perfect fall day. You guys enjoy the time your family has together, everyday is precious and you are living the dream. Thank you for your time and effort!!!
Thanks for sharing your life. So many people know so little about where their food comes from. People should watch more of this type and have a better understanding of how the food gets to their tables or their favorite restaurant. Stay safe.
Always a nice job. Nice mix of commentary, in cab shots and drone shots. Very professional. Keep up the good work. You and Travis compliment each other well.
Very interesting to see what happens from the top of the bin, lining up the auger. I love heights, so I’d love to do that part if I farmed. And yeah, outstanding aerial footage during harvest-perfect lighting as the sun set, and fitting music.
Nice video. Loved the mix of drone and camera shots that showed everyone the scale of harvest and how everything fits together to get to the end goal....grain in the bin.
The front right duals of our combine dropped into a sinkhole on our terrace, the hole was deeper than the tires since the frame of the combine and header bottomed out . We had to bring in a backhoe to dig the tires out then help pull the combine!! Great video of the harvest
Beeing a Norwegian dairy farmer on a small Island its very interesting and nice to see your beautiful landscape with the rolling prairie of wisconsin . Many from Norway immegrated to Wisconsin, MN and ND. No wonder why almost no one came back:). Love your drone clips.
Ryan you do make better videos when you don't have to post every day. Using the drone through out video gives a much better presentation of your work on the farm. Lets just say that you are getting better at what you do on the videos. I enjoy what you post and thanks for taking the time to do the videos for us to watch.
I was carrying corn with two gravity wagons and a JD7210 one night and my friend was in the combine;the last field of the farm we were was like a swamp...I wrap a chain around the front weights and used this chain around 15 times to unstuck him that night!
Where we had long tractor runs back to the farm we used an extra trailer that the combine could do a stationery discharge into. All the trailers and tractors were fitted with auto hitches, so it was just a 2 min job to swap a loaded trailer for a an empty one. The tractors returning empty would load on the move. This method kept the combine cutting longer with out delays.
Love watching your videos and can watch them all day. The only thing i can complain about is you need a better ladder and hand rails on top of that grain bin.
I've seen sinkholes open up in a wheatfield after a combine has gone over, size of a tractor and over 50 feet deep! Happens a lot in the UK in areas where there is chalk, heavy rain gets to run through cracks in the surface and then dissolved the chalk underground creating caverns, when you get a heavy vehicle run over the top it causes the cavern to collapse
Yep that's the main thing-- keeping the combine moving! So long as you can do that, you're doing all right. We still have a *slight* bottleneck in corn running a 9600 Deere with an 8 row head, a Killbros grain cart, and one semi. Fortunately it's only about 5-6 miles into town to the elevator and they usually manage to unload me very quickly. I run both the semi AND the grain cart most of the time, switching back and forth between them (which makes for a LONG day!) but at most my BIL says he has to shut down and wait on me for about fifteen minutes to get back with the semi... he can unload from the combine directly into the hopper bottom while I get the cart and then unload it into the hopper bottom while he goes back to picking, and then take one more dump off the combine and run it into the hopper bottom, stage the tractor and cart near where he's picking (so he doesn't have so far to run to dump) and then tarp the load and hit the road, and he'll have the cart and combine brimming full when I return with the empty semi... then we wash-rinse-repeat... LOL:) I admit I was kinda worried when he sold the tandem grain truck I had been running, but it only held 600 bushels fully loaded versus 1,000 in the steel hopper bottom semi, and the insurance/tags/diesel costs were about the same. Course the first year he had the semi, I ended up finishing up corn harvest hauling ALL the corn on the tandem because the trailer needed some work on the frame. I didn't even get out of the truck-- just shuttled back and forth between the fields and elevators... With ONLY the semi he's got no fallback in the event of a breakdown, except I guess gravity boxes and the tractor or pickup or both... or the nephew's semi... LOL:) BUT, they're pretty good about helping each other... We hauled a few loads for them this year. Sounds like you have a good system working. Hope it stays that way. Later! OL J R :)
I lived in South central Missouri. My place had 3 high spots. My house was on one. The other two had sinkholes about 200 feet across. Yes, I did have insurance.
Great Video. Just wondering how well the spreader works we have multiple 30ft MFS Silos/Bins in New Zealand. We usally shovel them out by hand at the end of the day for even drying. We have known about the spreaders but were worried they might be a waste of time and we would have to still shovel it out anyway. We do alot of Ryegrass and Small Seed Crops. Thanks
Watching the grain load into thr grain cart reminds me of when the sugar cane harvest is done here in Nth Queensland Australia. They do it just like that only it cane n not corn. The cane is harvested green. In the old days they used to burn it before cutting by hand.
My Dad was a safety inspector on the C&O Railroad. If he had seen you coming down that slanted ladder on the grain bin you would have been written up! ALWAYS come down a ladder facing the bin, just like you would when you climb it. If you don't and catch your heel on a rung you will do a "header" off of the bin. Please be safe!
This is some of your best work, that was great drone footage! November 4th is Minnesota deer opener so good luck there I'm sure you will kill it but I will wait for the video.
Holy crap! I can't believe that was a 30 minute video, felt like 10-15 I just got lost in it, Dang that is a steep driveway!!! especially for heavy loads
Hey Ryan! It's interesting to me listening to you explain the reason these sinkholes show up there. I'm used to Karst type topography, the kind you'd find around cave areas, such as Mammoth Cave in KY, but I'm not as familiar with the kind you are having. Do you know how deep the old lead mines were in your area? Where I grew up in central IL, we also had old coal mines under our farms, that were disused since the 1940's or so. I know they were fairly deep however. Just curious.
It would seem that the size of the gravity wagon is, as we would say in chemistry class back in the day, the Rate Limiting Step. At least you upgraded that for the current harvest from what it was. The grain auger might be a close second, at least as far as its height is concerned.
How come your planting is done in curves rather than just straight back and forth across the paddock? You seem to leave gaps too. Are they just for access?
Hey Ryan it Taylor from Iowa and have couple ideas you could use the John Deere 500 grain cart for a holding bin in the field and then Travis can unload it in to the wagon or use the other grain cart to drive to field and to farm tell me if can use this idea or why you can not do that and happy farming :)
I remember as a kid being up early on Saturday watching Modern Farmer - now here I am 60 years later watching How Farms Work. Enjoyed this. Thanks!

You guys make it look so easy, harvest is running like a well oiled machine!!! Thanks for the upload.
Beautiful video, my mind is flooded with memories. Lot smaller equipment back then but the same process. Nothing better then shelling corn on a perfect fall day. You guys enjoy the time your family has together, everyday is precious and you are living the dream. Thank you for your time and effort!!!
I’m a city boy and this is so fascinating. I just found your channel and I’ve been binge watching videos for hours
Yeah!!!! Loved this long video! I could watch a 2 hr video and be fascinated! Thanks for taking time to do these!! I appreciate it
Wow, sinkholes, grain bins, augers, excitement everywhere. Love the farming talk.
Thanks for sharing your life. So many people know so little about where their food comes from. People should watch more of this type and have a better understanding of how the food gets to their tables or their favorite restaurant. Stay safe.

Beautiful footage! I've been binge watching your videos like crazy. I have nothing but total respect and admiration of farmers!

Excellent video with great music ! Thank You for all Your hard work .
Little something from a Canadian, best channel on TH-cam, keep it going it's awesome to see
Excellent video Ryan thanks. Hope things are going good for you
Love the long harvest vidoes!! could watch these all the time!!!
The front right duals of our combine dropped into a sinkhole on our terrace, the hole was deeper than the tires since the frame of the combine and header bottomed out . We had to bring in a backhoe to dig the tires out then help pull the combine!!
Great video of the harvest
Probably the slowest, relaxed harvest I’ve ever seen, doesn’t look like much of a rush
I really like your drone skills Ryan, Thanks for posting.
Beeing a Norwegian dairy farmer on a small Island its very interesting and nice to see your beautiful landscape with the rolling prairie of wisconsin . Many from Norway immegrated to Wisconsin, MN and ND. No wonder why almost no one came back:). Love your drone clips.
Contour farming from the air looks absolutely stunning from the air!
This is a beautifully edited video! Might be the best one you ever did.
Great video ryan.. One of your best yet..
Kudos my friend for the editing and your taste in music, really liking the videos!!!
Great friggin video! Level up. Really looking forward to the next Farm Day.
Awesome drone work your videography is astounding keep up the great work with showing the younger generation what's required to feed this nation
You and Travis’s vids are really good 👍🏼🇺🇸
Something about harvest videos I love.... the drone footage makes it much better.
Hey Ryan love the longer videos I love the tractor you have on the cart
Great video Ryan!
Prob the best video u have done thus far. Good job chief!!
This video is like a 10 thumbs up ! ! ! Excellent quality ! ! !
Excellent video, almost made me want to drive out there and spend a day or two! 🚜🌽
Ryan you do make better videos when you don't have to post every day. Using the drone through out video gives a much better presentation of your work on the farm.
Lets just say that you are getting better at what you do on the videos. I enjoy what you post and thanks for taking the time to do the videos for us to watch.
Brilliant drone shots!
Great video! I really liked the longer one!
I loved this vid, GREAT JOB RYAN
Ryan me and my girl friend and her bother are still waiting to do corn here at Warner south Dakota I was wach your video's when I am on my down time
My brother in law Dan Kuhns makes those EZ Trail wagons right here in Arthur Illinois. Great video.
Great video like always man.enjoy them a lot.
I was carrying corn with two gravity wagons and a JD7210 one night and my friend was in the combine;the last field of the farm we were was like a swamp...I wrap a chain around the front weights and used this chain around 15 times to unstuck him that night!
Good job Ryan!! I love the longer vids! Keep up the good work!!
Drone shots were amazing
Just found your channel. Its awesome.
Great video the drone footage makes me consider getting one for myself looks fun to play around with one
Lead mines under fields, causing sinkholes, very interesting. Thanks for the vid.
Ryan, thank you.
Great video, like the drone shots
This is beautiful! Thank you !

The drone footage is just killer!
Isnt it though? I mean thru all of their videos...well done

Great video, Ryan! I enjoyed the whole 29:19 of it, thanks for sharing.
Great video! 👍
Loved the video. Thank you for sharing

Makes you appreciate farming alot more .
Keep up the good videos👍🏻

great music to go along with the video
Could the EZ Trail grain wagon handle slightly higher side extensions, so that you can empty the Brent grain cart completely every time?
Awsome video Ryan!! Can you possibly get someone to video you at the expo in a few weeks and post it for the people who live far away like me??
Great video keep up the great work
Love the video a lot and keep it up

The drone shots are great. Do you have videos that show the grain coming out of the trailer into the auger to go up in the bin?
dont you mark the holes so you dont hit them again and can locate them to fill them up?
Superb all round video great drone skills loved the dusk shot as i say all round interesting video:):):)
Great video.
Nice video!
Great video to watch
This is some of your best work, that was great drone footage!
November 4th is Minnesota deer opener so good luck there I'm sure you will kill it but I will wait for the video.
Holy crap! I can't believe that was a 30 minute video, felt like 10-15 I just got lost in it, Dang that is a steep driveway!!! especially for heavy loads
Hi Ryan my name is chad the farm day was great can't wait tell next year

I know they were fairly deep however. Just curious.
What is your idea about soil compaction with the increasingly heavier machines? Its a hot item in Holland.
Great Video Ryan... Will the corn dry down to 15 with that wind?
Why wouldn't you fill the larger bin first? Just wondering.Thanks for sharing what you do.
Hi, just found some of your videos around the time you where trying the nh, did you ever commit to it?
Do you have lime stone in areas that cause sink holes?
Hey Ryan. Great video. Are the lights on the grain wagon that Travis is pulling LED lights? They look great from the drone view.
What do u so when u find a sink hole? Do u somehow fill it or just avoid it? Kinda scary.
how much diesel do you go through in a typical harvest for all the vehicles used?
It would seem that the size of the gravity wagon is, as we would say in chemistry class back in the day, the Rate Limiting Step. At least you upgraded that for the current harvest from what it was. The grain auger might be a close second, at least as far as its height is concerned.
So many of your videos have good music! I wonder where it comes from. It sounds too good to be from a free database. Anybody know where to find it?
Ryan why dont you use the 4640 and the green grain cart? Or where do you use it for?
Would ground penetrating radar or some other device or technique help identify a sink hole before it opens up?
Awesome Video !!!!!!!
Nice video , enjoyed this one very much, good music starting at 18:57
How come your planting is done in curves rather than just straight back and forth across the paddock? You seem to leave gaps too. Are they just for access?
Hey Ryan it Taylor from Iowa and have couple ideas you could use the John Deere 500 grain cart for a holding bin in the field and then Travis can unload it in to the wagon or use the other grain cart to drive to field and to farm tell me if can use this idea or why you can not do that and happy farming :)
love that back ground music !
Your living my dream.. unfortunately I'm too damn old and crippled up to do it anymore but that was always my dream
I never started ..... Perhaps next time around ..... It will happen ..... :)
But I DO know about the "Too damn old and crippled ..... " >8^(
Omar Alvarez It doesn't matter what tractor you have, farming is still physically demanding
Curious - why are your planting patterns so twisty? Are the fields not square or is it for wind protection?
