@@christopheromeara986 when the japanese took manila during WW2 the US Gov encouraged "Partiotic Farmers" to grow Hemp for the war effort (See "Hemp For Victory") there are over 400 products that can be made from the hemp plant, including Food Fuel and fiber
Awesome harvest season! I really enjoy watching you guys a lot!!! I left the farm life at a very early age of 12 because my Dad was diagnosed with MS, I am now 59 and still love and keep up on farming through guys like you !!!!! keep farmin! God bless you guys!!!!!
I can't believe it harvested that easy for you guys. That's great. Guys down here in SC Colorado has billy hell last year combining it. Almost every field they had 2 combines in it. But one would be getting worked on and the other cutting. Nobody hardly planted it this year. To much trouble. Glad it is working out for you guys.
seems like a catch 22. Hemp needs some equipment specialization but there is not enough of a market at present to justify the investment which in turn is holding back the profitability of the harvest and limiting the market....or something like that
It works! And there's no high. Why mock it? I would rather be dead but in God's creation I'm still alive and the whole reason for the world is to care for the weakest other wise there would be no world like back in the beginning! Fyi those seeds get sold to China then made into the oil i use most likely.
@America well yeah, technically any substance consisting of matter is a chemical. But it can also be used as a noun with the definition: "a distinct compound or substance, especially one which has been artificially prepared or purified". That is the more common definition.
I worked for a hemp farm last year in mid Michigan ,the way we did it was way different,our plants were at least 6 feet tall,we had to hand pick em and then throw them into a woodchopper which shot it into a dump trailer.we would then go unload it at a facility,where we then run it through a tumbler to get the seeds then we would take the rest of the shopped up hemp and put into small gallon bags.
Riding in combine is fun for someone who never has been in one But running one you have a lot of stuff you need to watch and keep a eye on so you don’t clog up and break something
Amazing to see how much seed is collected. This is my first time seeing this channel, going to have to go watch some earlier videos now to see them growing. 👍
Hope you have better luck getting your hemp sold than what people I know here in Tennessee did. Everybody said company's backed out of their contracts. Best of luck to you!!!
Great job understanding how to adjust each piece of equipment to make a product that your consumer wants. Mechanical engineering students would do well working for you, I think they could learn a lot.
Make sure the joints are perfectly aligned i would suspect when you re welded they are not in line. If the shafts are running at decent offset it will make the problem worse.
The hemp is a rough character. Are the OEMs looking at ways to add sensors and fire suppression system to the combines? I am sure that a high capacity firetruck would still be needed outside the equipment but thus might give the operator a few critical minutes before it got out if control.
Praise God, I have been watching your AG channel recently rather than Millennial Farmer because of your Profession of Faith in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. The detail and patience you afford your viewers is great. There is a peace of of the Holy Spirit that captures the essence of your presentation. Ii have known Christ as my savior now forty years, I am 69 and come from an aerospace and military aircraft background and an Army Veteran. Currently living in Wyola Montana, so as to use the Sheridan VA. I used to drive the DAV for vets and had some stops many years ago in Glasgow. back in 2010 has grown considerably since than. I also remember and Abaddon Air Base as well. Now used and owned Boeing Military as a test base. The v-22 Tilt Rotor aircraft. I worked that test program back in 1989- 1991 at Willington Flight Test Center, Willington Delaware as a test engineer data systems aircraft 4 and 5. Small world. With everything going on and uncertainly I have been praying about moving up and around Glasgow. Closer to the Canadian boarder. Actually I had an interview at the J Deere dealership in Sheridan with Rob Moody. I contacted Tim Shultz in sales C&B Billings, He gave me Adam Sommers in HR and the regional sales Rep Jeff Fjelftdi. Being Christmas I have yet to contact them. Perhaps I should focus on Case instead of JD. Any way I enjoy your videos however I was disappointed in your growing Hemp... I would only say Jesus said: We are in the World; not of the World. If I make it up there I look forward to meeting you. Edward J Kneas
Hemp has been given a bad rap by the media and those who wish to control it for the profit of big pharma. Like big oil. Like big sugar when the outlawed stevia plants in the states.
Thanks Tony for making this a separate video. 👍 Very interesting to see the commercial cycle of plant, growing and harvest Hemp. Did not realize the amount of cleaning required by the farmer prior to shipping to plant. Was the fibre left on field cut to a certain length in combine or will the baler be further crimping the fibre? Is there a different price for fibre and seed or just paid by acre? Did you lose any amount of seed at the back end of the combine? Will you require to spend more time removing any oily residue from the combine prior to winter storage? Still have more questions but that is for another time. Happy you made a profit at this experimental stage. 🍁😎
There are way less issues with wrapping and fire if you harvest when the stems are still green. the wind can shell out a lot too if you let it get too dry.
Make sure that you check also the outside of the combine for fire. I combined first 2 quarters of our own hemp out of the swath, never any signs of fire. Then I moved to the neighbors field and straight cut his hemp. All of a sudden I smelt fire , and yes on 6 different spots the hemp dust started by spontaneous combustion, on the fuel tank, but also on a metal strip on the outside of the combine , no muffler or bearing started that. We got it out and no damage, this was on a Case 7120. lots of people blow the machine clean every couple of hour with a leaf blower.
You ought to know the crop you are growing is one of Gods gifts to humanity . The hemp plant 🌱 offers so much for human purposes , in a world dominated by Monsanto and Bauer . Watch your rotors alright fantastic crop you got , praise God for his abundance 😇😇😇
Waiting for Monsanto to develop Roundup/Dicamba resistant Cannabis Sativa so we can turn our 75 cow dairy into the nation’s first high volume pot farm. When I’m supplying WalMart with the Devil’s Lettuce none of y’all will be laughing 🙃🙃😂😂
Hemp and it's sister products are so under used and undervalued. That you are using the whole plant with very little waste making a product that can be used in virtually anything is indeed a gift from God. It is good to see restrictions on it as well as medical being relaxed. It even passed here in Missouri. If I was 20 years younger, in better shape and better land I would be looking into it. Everyone I have talked to that is in it says it's becoming the booming industry it should always have been and the sky is the limit. I hope they are right and wish everyone fighting for it and working in it the best of luck. And I still have to give a grunt every time I hit the breakers and the machines fire up. I am a fan of The Cornstars which is probably how you showed up and now you have a new subscriber.
Glad it worked well for you and you didn’t need any added equipment. Here in Vermont people were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and it turned to be a wash.
Matt LeVitre A friend raised a few acres last year but didn’t this year. For the amount of labor and his investment the return just wasn’t there... It would be interesting to study up on the Montana regulations for raising hemp. In Kansas, the state required a high fence enclosure, background checks of anyone working within the area, and visited the site several times to test that the crop wasn’t producing THC. He was trying to market seedless buds for CBD extract and had to hand process everything...
Hey Tony, you’re right the metal needs to be clean for 7018. I know there are thousands of welders out there better than myself but I use 6011 or 6013 for field repairs. I’m sure there would be some disagreement but my welds hold and get the job done. Just one farmer with my fair share of burns and breakdowns. Farmer Ken
Brilliant viewing again tony and team,that’s been a good harvest I would think for ya, weather has permitted most crops to fluerish, a question though,did you have to desacrete the hemp field, or what.thank you again for all harvest video from Melbourne australia, love watching all can’t wait for planting to start ahahahah. Cheers mate and thanks to the team cheers.
I was wondering the same thing, with all the weeds in the hemp too, maybe also contributed to the really dark color of the plants at harvest. Edit: I have family in Melbourne Mauldon’s I’m from the US though.
I think we all missed an opportunity for some jokes around the possibility of a fire in a hemp field. Headline; “Hippies from miles around flocked to the Fast farm as the smell of burning hemp, marijuana flooded the area” 😂 (not wishing to make light of a burning crop / combine obviously)
You should co market hempcrete building with Welker Farms and Millenial Farmer. Is it worth, pressing your own seed for oil and food for humans and animals? Would be a good inside winter or rainy day job.
at 7:50, don't drop a wrench in that crack, it won't germinate. On a serious note, can that hemp straw be used for anything? I should have watched more of the video, my question was answered. Thanks
Congratulations on being done with harvest. What do you do with the weed seed? Just seeing that much kochia seed makes me want to set fire to the trailer. I hate that stuff.
The yokes on the driveshaft need to be timed together for balance.. the vibration combined with the tiniest flaw will cause cracks in the heat affected zone right beside the weld.. we use a bubble level on the yoke end and match the other end to it...
I found this very interesting! There is talk about a company opening a hemp plant here in AB, so I am looking forward to more videos on hemp from you guys. Thanks!
There must be one. When I lived in AB in the late 90's there were hemp fields in the Camrose area. The farmer wasn't growing it just to mess with hippies (although he did have signs saying it won't get you high).
@@JohnA891 Ya, I know my dad has talked about guys growing it in the past, not sure where the plant was before though. The new plant is supposed to be at Vegreville.
It seems like it would make sense to stock an extra header driveshaft so you can weld the broken one back in the shop when not combining so as to minimize down time.
@@FastAgMontana It's very obvious by his question that he has never purchased any processed hemp oil. The last that I purchased for medicinal purposes was around $40.00 an ounce. Sooo y'all have about 3 million bushels?
that shaft you keep welding: that's had it! would there be an alignment issue on that - bearing going out at one end - or just a 'friday manufactured shaft!
What are the seeds being harvested then processed oil used for? some sort of Meds or herbal meds? back in WW1 & WW2 the Navy had farmers plant some variety along fence rows for making rope. Navy dudes had a saying 'smoke a rope'
We grow cbd hemp and our plants look completely different. Is that a different phylum of hemp ? Our stalks are 4 to 5 inches diameter. No way to combine.
What is the moisture. Did you have to desiccate or did it experience a frost? Other hemp videos seem to combine up to 30% moisture due to early due early maturing heads shelling out if leave them for balance of field to mature. Just curious.
Yep..just finished my "hemp"harvest ..didn't take as long as yours I only had 6 plants😎😎..hahaha
Lmao
I had 5 💪😎 🔥🔥
I had 2875000😎
This is the funniest farming but not farming comment I've ever seen
Haha..the more the better

Christopher O'Meara yes this is true. My grandpa grew it during WW2 for rope. There are many more uses for the fiber.
Hemp fiber can be used in making cloth and paper also.
I had a bush jacket of hemp fabric, soft and durable. Got 10 years wear out of it, a denim jacket will give you maybe 5, YMMV. If I could find another, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

👍👍 Cleaning seed is fascinating to me with respect to what goes in and what comes out👍
Me too!
I can't believe it harvested that easy for you guys. That's great. Guys down here in SC Colorado has billy hell last year combining it. Almost every field they had 2 combines in it. But one would be getting worked on and the other cutting.

Great video Tony and great explanation. So basically it's very similar to harvesting milo and sorghum.
Pretty much!

Great job understanding how to adjust each piece of equipment to make a product that your consumer wants. Mechanical engineering students would do well working for you, I think they could learn a lot.
Always good to see Montana folks showing everyone how work is done.
After watching you pull that hemp fiber off of the rotor, I can see why it is sought after for ropes and clothing. Looks like pretty tough stuff.
Absolutely is!
Awesome video you all!! Happy farming
Make sure the joints are perfectly aligned i would suspect when you re welded they are not in line. If the shafts are running at decent offset it will make the problem worse.

I have seen videos of hemp harvesting in Europe using double cut combines. Maybe it is to prevent the rotor from getting wrapped in the straw?
Those crops are a true dual crop variety I am guessing. The fiber is a lot taller. Cool machines.

Well,yeah, hemp was real cash crop here in north central Tennessee a century ago for rope and twine.
Didn’t realize y’all could use bean heads to harvest hemp!!! Pretty cool👍 not quite that easy to harvest it’s other side of the family!!!😉
I’ve even cut corn with a MacDon before.
I suppose the only reason not too is the immense amount of material the thresher would have to process... gotta do what ya gotta do
I see a massive amount of debt and a butt load of work. God bless you and ur family.
It seems like it would make sense to stock an extra header driveshaft so you can weld the broken one back in the shop when not combining so as to minimize down time.
It’s a warranty issue. We will see what comes of that.
Can you swath hemp then run it through a combine with a pickup header like canola? What about cut the hemp when it's still green and use it as hay?
You find it sprouting up around outbuildings on older farms a lot
Is it worth it to do the hemp. Seems like stopping every few passes to clean the rotor would be annoying
Absolutely worth it. With current commodity prices, it’s the best profit breaker!
@@FastAgMontana
It's very obvious by his question that he has never purchased any processed hemp oil. The last that I purchased for medicinal purposes was around $40.00 an ounce. Sooo y'all have about 3 million bushels?
I'm a hemp farmer in north carolina. My question is, is hemp like this really sticky and gummy as it comes off ?
Nice video! I’m from the Sidney area. Where do you haul your hemp?
thank you. Fort Benton.
Bryce, check out indhemp.com and send us a message! We're planning to expand grain hemp production in 2021.
Been hearing that Gleaner really does well in hemp because of the transverse rotor try to get a demo if y'all have a dealer near. Love the video!
that shaft you keep welding: that's had it! would there be an alignment issue on that - bearing going out at one end - or just a 'friday manufactured shaft!
We aren’t the only ones with problems with this.
What was the final analysis abt hemp?
Would you do it again was it worth it?
Never realized the dangers of fire for farmers
I wish I needed a combine for my hemp 🌱. Why no bunker silos?
What would you use hemp for? Hippie things? lol i never thought about this.
I have seen i some videos that are some headers that pick up only the seeda of the wheat. Maybe can be used in a very effective way to tresh hemp?
I have read on internet and are called stripper headers
The hemp would destroy the fingers in a stripper header and not all the seeds are at the top.
How many acres of hemp? Seed yield and bale yield? How many years have you been planting hemp?
This is the second year.
What is the cab setup for harvest? Auto steer, measure weight and or moisture ?
The monitor tells all sorts of things. Engine info, machine settings, crop yield, moisture, lots and lots more.
What are the seeds being harvested then processed oil used for? some sort of Meds or herbal meds? back in WW1 & WW2 the Navy had farmers plant some variety along fence rows for making rope. Navy dudes had a saying 'smoke a rope'
The fiber is extremely strong and used for rope or cloth or “hempcrete,” but the seeds are crushed for non-CBD hemp oil.
Are you guys also harvesting the hemp straw ? Does this variety have good fiber qualities ?
Can you keep us updated on the hemp? A lot of the farmers here in Florida are interested but there isn’t much info on it down here yet.
Keep following!
Oh, please show baling the fiber. Also why did you say you were waiting to bale? I would have a baler running right behind the combine. Drone!!!
They want it to break down a bit first.
We grow cbd hemp and our plants look completely different. Is that a different phylum of hemp ? Our stalks are 4 to 5 inches diameter. No way to combine.
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Did you try rolling up a smoke sprinkling in some seeds with the fiber?
Not my thing.
too much load on the driveshaft? initial design not fully evaluated?
I think it’s a design flaw. Lots of them in the area broke just like this.
Cracks in the ground look big from the air.
Make and sell ghillie suits out of the hemp leftovers
Super vidéo ! What acres do you have ?
About 12000
What is the moisture. Did you have to desiccate or did it experience a frost? Other hemp videos seem to combine up to 30% moisture due to early due early maturing heads shelling out if leave them for balance of field to mature. Just curious.
The Hemp straw looks just lIke Flax straw....They used to bale it to make rope back in the day,not sure if they still do or not.
Keep watching videos!
Thanks for the video.
Just wondering what you do with the Weed Seed?
Next video
