Hail Damage? The White Combine Strikes!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ธ.ค. 2024
- Every farmer fears the white combine. We have have gone years without any and then have the entire farm totaled out in one season. Farms typically do carry some hail insurance which should cover expenses but rarely do you come out on top. Overall we are grinding away at harvest preparation and each day inching closer to being ready while the crop continues to ripen. Let's do this!

Even if it only looks like only 1% loss you always call to get a hail claim adjusted. As a crop adjuster, you learn that what looks like nothing, through bruising, can end up being a huge loss. On the other hand you can have beans that look like nothing is left, but still comes up good. That's why adjusters always wait a week after the storm to appraise hail, you can't see what the damage really will be until the crop has had a chance to either recover or for all the damage to be visible.
Props to your dad for not BS'ing on the crop report. A lot of guys wouldn't be so honest as him.
This site is becoming just a big infomercial!!!!
@@fredfranklin8816 well you don't have to watch, I don't mind I've seen a few new things that we have actually gotten for our stuff.
They have a adjuster come out and do a assessment, too. It’s part of the insurance claim.
@Fred Franklin If you do not like it you do not have to watch
@Jasonsenipor Ruined his channel? He's literally the biggest farm channel on youtube I think. He's doing just fine haha.
It's nice to see a family working together. I really appreciate all of you and the content you put up on TH-cam. It has helped me during a tough 2020 to take my mind off my worries and to see life moving and going on outside my world. Thank you to all the Welker Farms family.
Thank you guys for doing what you do! And a big thank you to your families as well for understanding and supporting you! Be safe this harvest!
Glad you guys did not get much crop damage
Bob is the TH-cam gold behind this channel. His one liners and farming knowledge is spot on. And no, this isn’t Bob’s account. 😂😂😂
There is nothing worse then hail damage to anything especially crops guys. I hope they can recover from it and maybe get them back later. Its awesome that you guys didnt end of with alot of damage. I give you guys the upmost respect for putting food on my table.
Bob always has something great to say that makes me smile or laugh.
I’ve watched so many farming TH-camrs and you guys are still my favourite by far 😁
I was bummed out thinking there been hail damage thankfully .I love to see blessings upon the Welker family and I believe Case IH choose very well for a family to represent them. MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO BLESS ONE AND ALL..
Love how the Millennial farmer has to send you something green, and your dad is a gem absolutely hilarious.
Dad Welkers sense of humor takes the videos to a whole new level!!! :)
Bob is awesome with his delivery. I bet things may get tense at times and he drops one of his bon mots and things are not so bad after that, he is a rockstar
Dad is a Grate Dad. You are Blessed!
I love legarms at 1:46 just going full tilt like a peterbuilt.
Ur dad is the king of one liners! And cody was doing HIS job, protecting yall from all those wascally wabbits, gophers, and other critters..
You worked all year long and hailstorm and it’s all but over. I am glad you showed this part of farming. What it shows is that it’s not all fun and games.
Praying for a smooth and plentiful harvest! 😎
Good to see everybody is doing well.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Much love on the old Ditch Witch! I used to work there in the machine shop & engineering department. I really enjoy the videos!
The apples didn't fall too far from the tree. Your Pop has a great sense of humor! Definitely a beneficial character trait when farming up on the HI Line. The Welkers, Johnsons, Cornstar farms, and many others are effective ambassadors for Agriculture in your regions. Good information in every video and always open to seeing the funny. Thanks 👍
Flex-Tape cracked me up! Your Dad is too cool.......Great video and good luck on your harvest.
Hey guys thanks for the video, sorry about your hail damage and thank you Bob for your information on what the crops may make. Flex tape missed out on a good commercial on repairing your old tarp 😂👍
Glad you didn't have too much hard water damage, liked the side by side by side by side transportation too. God bless all of you. P.S. don't forget to clean the shop Nick.
Yes, that's right, Praise the Lord! Give him all the praise and glory!
Driving through that mad hole put a smile on my face 😁
Noel Ybarra ye my papa used to do that when there was a puddle on the side of the road he would speed up and hit it and it was fun
"The Wicked Winch of the West." awesome
HECK YEAH!!
You father is too funny. Best wishes on your harvest.
Another great video sorry to hear about the crops being damaged by the hail but I would certainly put my hand up to help paint the tanks on your water tender I would enjoy that and again another great video keep up the great work from your big fan down here in New Zealand
points for bob, sharp as usual
LegArms moving the CanAm to hitch the header trailer made me laugh! Only LegArms!!
So many things to do in larger farming ya just don't think about. Really, today's farmers have to have so much skill and information, kudos for jobs well done! I love work . . . it's so interesting to watch. Thanks!
Man, I'm sorry guys! That must be very heartbreaking. I had tons of squirrel damage on my tiny little sweet corn patches and it hurt! Jeez. Every time I watch you guys I'm blown away by the expansive beauty of the land there. West is a different world from SE WI where I'm at. Small farms and hilly and trees.
As a teenager (in the 1970's) we farmed south of Malta (90 miles east of Havre) - I remember watch the grey green sky roll in - Dad knew it was hail - we drove to town in the hail. Dad was sure the crop was gone. Before the hail the crop was phenominal - when we got back out to the farm in the morning we found out that we had damage. We also found out the white combine skipped a lot of the crop while it ploughed some of the nicest into the ground. As you said, the Lord is good - always! The overall crop was still better than a normal year. I SO enjoy your GREAT You Tube work.
Those new tires @20:36 must be part of the new stuff coming up later.
Yup
What a relief, only minor hail damage. You scared me. God bless.
Check the throttle return spring on the 9370. Our international had issues too. The spring had gotten weak on the injector pump linkage. Just a thought. Keep the vids coming and keep up the good work.
Cool hat Nick
I’ve been watching for quite a while now and love the videos. I use to farm in central NM but got out in 2001 after my grandpa passed away. It’s nice to be able to see what other farmers in different parts of the country raise and how they do it. So thank you for this channel and keep up the good work! God bless
Glad the hail didn't hit any harder than it did, but sorry it dried up so severely. "Wicked winch of the West", "We wait till we had an audience," "Flex Tape" to "repair" the tarp "We gotcha covered" and several others Bob! But you did have "The Grain Report" so that is redeeming. Good luck with the spraying and the harvest!
😄👍
Had the same issue with my truck and the RPM's. Spent hours changing lines out. No luck. Then put some catalytic converter cleaner in the fuel tank. Issue fixed. It's great not having to use my clutch that's going out as often again. lol
The amount of acres you guys have, i'm not offended you havent shown us it all :P Good luck with this harvest. I hope you guys get more than expected and get a good return on that premium insurance claim. Always want to see farms like this doing well. We need your skills forever!
Love all of the dad puns.............. "We've got you covered"
That is one slick looking Cover for that trailer.
Good luck up there. we're getting our peas in down in wyobraska. its been a challenge. some dried up fast and dropped out of pods, while others are still testing high on moisture. we're also waiting for power to the new bins fans where they are stored at, and doing wheat harvest at the same time.
Growing up on the farm.....always pulled the combine in 3-4 weeks before harvest and went through everything. If major maintenance.....worked on the machine in winter.
Glad to know that most of the farm was protected from the hail. I told Daddy Cornstar the he and Daddy Welker should have a "one liner" or pun competition. Winner takes all!! All of Zach's John Deere coolies that is.........
I love to see how much weight your dad has lost and how much more gumption he's gotten back than he already had as an older farmer! Way to go Papa Welker!!!
The boys are making more decisions without my input so I decided to start throwing my weight around, but I don't remember where I put it now...........
Your dad is by far my favorite person to watch! As for the kochia, when I spray for customers i run sharpen pre-plant. If it’s incredibly thick chemfallow I run 40-50oz/ac 6# glyph, 12oz/ac Dicamba, and 10oz/ac 6# 2-4-D, nothing gets through!
If its not too thick I run 30-35oz/ac 6# glyph, 8oz/ac Dicamba, and 6oz/ac 6# 2-4-D
7:45 Coby's on the run again...😉👍🏻
Just finished our winter wheat harvest here in Western Nebraska. Still have millet to cut but thankful we had no problems. Hope your harvest goes as smooth as ours did!
Hope your crops still yield healthy. Here in Connecticut we have not gotten rain really all summer nothing measurable anyway. It’s been so dry. Take care and God bless
Mr. Bob: Sir, I believe you are the *King of Puns." I enjoy your words of wisdom and sense of humor. Peace. 😎
Robert, I love your humor Grand Canyon lol after many times in tbe years of power washing the water tank out due to algae, I found that ammonia sulfate works the best even over chlorine. I would put a little ziploc bag 4x6 of ammonia sulfate in a big water tank on the water wagon for spraying and never had to power wash or a plugged nozzles on the sprayers.
Cool, thanks 👍
@12:00 Scott, I'm a tiny farmer and I say telehandlers are better. There is less tear on the tires and the telehandler is smother.
Spring wheat looked great!!!
thanks for all the hard work you do....also letting us see you do it ... it's a treat..and educational !!!
Hi guys love the videos. A tip for the algae in your tank vinegar works great just put a jug in each tank when you fill it only costs a couple bucks
A first-class family that loves what they do. Bob, I appreciate your honest assessment of the crops. I feel sorry the for neighbor's crop. Colby is wonderdog.
It wouldn't be Welker farms without your Dads one liners!
Sorry to hear that y'all have some hail damage. Hopefully the little bit of rain will really help the yield this year! God Bless!
Jeesus Louise you guys....what an operation...I'll have 'ta look into your company, 'ya got my interest up...
3ph motors have alot of advantages, even if you use a convertor. Scott would enjoy building one!
Great videos. Always have been interested in farming. Amazing how big your farm is and only 3 of you maintaining it.
Hail damage is never fun. We had up to 4 inch hail this spring in parts of the county. Lots of damage - totaled pickups / roofs and window gone. Was pretty early so not much in crop damage. Take care - be safe - hope the family is doing well. God Bless 'Spin'
deberias de tener seguro de la siembra, aqui en saltillo hay una planta de ensamble de la general motors y hace unos años le pego una granizada muy fuerte habia en patios como 5000 carros terminados para embarcar a la venta y ese dia fue la mejor venta del año el seguro se los pago
Sorry you guys had the gail damage. Hope its not to bad. Thanks for the video.
Back in the mid 70's in West Tx., in mid August it, came a hail storm with marble to quarter size hail on a 1/2 section of thigh high cotton... All that was left was Tooth Picks and Match Sticks.......
Nick, on the 9370 dragging a brake. Run an air line into the building, to help air up the truck, tee in either by the truck air tank, or under the hood, closer to the compressor (better protection from grit and grime). If you have a decent sized compressor in the shop, it will cut down the air build time immensely, so you don't have to be in so much NOX fumes. Bad for your health.
Best wishes all
It's a shame about the storm damage. Looking forward to your harvest videos.
It wasn't many acres.
Glad too see your in videos more
Great video Guys
What a beautiful place you all live.
Great video...and Bob, the master of the pun comes through again "we've got you covered".
Copper sulfate is supposed to help with algae in nurse tanks, We have had over 9 inches in July 4'' in one night and 4 days later another 1" Lots of crop damage Mostly soybeans. Spring wheat harvest has started in our area as well, I think the heavy rain pushed it. I'm from SE ND. I like Bob he likes to tell stories but honest at the same time .
Great Vlog, looks like you had a near miss with the hail, shame the crops have fried in the heat and yields are not up to expectation, thanks Tony
Good to see you guys are almost ready for harvest. Rather see red combines in the field than white😉
Love the Case combines! We use them on our farms in Iowa too.
What can I say know so well what you feel.Glory to JESUS.
Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
We use 35% peroxide in our water tanks. Bit more money than chlorine, but real works well. Use less 35% than chlorine per 1000 gallon. Will be nice to see harvest soon. 👍👍
love to see video on how they adjusted your fields with the damage
A farmers worse nightmare is to see a good crop go to waste when the Great White Combine arrives and all that hard work and money goes down the drain. Thankfully you were spared to some degree this storm
Props to Bob, King of the "Dad Jokes"
Yes he really is outstanding in his field.
its a shame about storm damage but good to see you gearing up for haevest good luck for this harvest hope its plentiful but above all a safe one god bless welkers
Yes, thanks!
If you call your insurance adjuster, a great episode might discuss the process and claim. Also the value of risk management to the enterprise.
We're 3 months with out rain going into a 4th month with no rain, definitely need it. Definitely in a drought we are here. Rooster J Acres Middletown California
@Brad Roon same here burnt and dead
A lot of people think farming is easy. Man, its always something. Hopefully your neighbor had good crop insurance, as well
We need to pray for good gentle rain with no hail. Pray for crops to finish well.
You got your biceps hat on Nick.
Dad my Dad would like you a lot. He was quite fun with words also. The squeekie wheel gets the Grease. Was one i rember a lot.
Been sort of holding my breath for the farmers around here, mid west. The crops look real good everything is nice and green except for some grain turning. I know a couple minutes of hail could change all of that. Looks like God takes care of His own, the best partner you can have.
"we got you covered" took me a second, then I clued in to Bob's joke. Haha
you guys DESERVE a million more subs
More
Sorry to hear of the hail
Love them chick peas in my wife's pasta salads. They do not grow well down here in Alabama so, thanks.
The skid loader’s are essential on the job I’ve been running them since I was 10 on the farm and I run them every day doing Concrete 👍
Maurer is manufactured 15 mi east of me, Demco is about 20 miles west of me. I think they are actually under one owner now. Both good, well made products.
Those old ditch witches were beasts and still are.
Before you change the fuel lines check the vents on the fuel tanks if they are stuck it will cause the truck to idle fast and hard to shift
🤙 "DODGED THE BULLET" WOW, yes OLD MOTHER NATURE comes through and all HELL breaks loose or THANK the LORD 🙏 Nice down to earth video of life on the farm. BE SAFE - GOD BLESS 😍😍😍😍😍
