I can't believe how fast you can unload your entire truck! I used to deliver to a very small COOP and it was painfully slow. Thanks again for sharing!
I enjoy your videos! I took 2 years of Ag-Business at our local Community College in Iowa and got my A.A.S. degree and for a time, I worked for a few large-scale custom farmers like you and worked a few seasons performing all stages of crop production. I also took courses on Animal Feed and Nutrition - but all my work was crops. After that, 8 years as a heavy equipment operator, then 13 years owning my own lawn care and snow removal business - then 6 years selling Sea Ray sport cruisers and yachts in Florida before I made enough to say "I'm DONE!" and now just enjoy working from home and watching guys like you! lol Thanks for the awesome vids!
Gad's you have to be a real smart person to remember all the buttons... Tractor's also... But you always make it understandable in interesting... Thank You for that... God Bless all...
Amazing to see the efficiency of modern agriculture. It boggles my mind to think of the investment one has in an operation of this size. We've came a LONG way in just the last 15-20 years or so. Innovation and technology has had an awesome effect on modern agriculture. Thanks so much for sharing these videos with us. So informative to see how advanced things have become :)
Thanks for watching! I'm really excited about the future of ag.
That semi he meets on the road at 1:30 is me!
That's nice that the pit will take the whole truck so you can just dump all at once
Thank you
Pretty sweet trailer.
Z, your Lady Gaga was on point.
Really? Personally my poor ears are still ringing! 😁
You have some sharp trucks man. What do they have for engines and horsepower?
Nice T800 and trailer.
Who makes the auto hopper door openers?
Thx Very interesting!!!!!👍
thanks very informative
No over head bin to load? So much faster
That's so much nicer than denco...
How price of corn you get in Ethanol Station per tone or lbs ? ☺
I was raised on a dairy farm in Colorado milking 100 cows twice a day. We grew all of our feed with the exception of the grain we fed the cows while we milked them.
I am not a fan of ethanel. It has less energy (BTU) than gasoline, which means less MPG and it costs more than gasoline. It is very harmful to two cycle engines. I had to replace my fuel hoses on my weedeater last week. I know its good for the farmers $$$, but we are the ones paying for that crap fuel that is mandated by the government.
Surely ethanol is only a small percentage of the gasoline, approximately 5% I believe, it replaces Lead which was extremely toxic and harmful to everyone. Lead was only needed to aid valve seating in an engine, Ethanol is a much better option, just drain your fuel tank /carburettor if you're not going to use that piece of equipment for long periods and everything will be fine.
How do u know when the semi is full
Product begins to spill over the side of the trailer, hope my answer helps. 🤔
Corn sold, and the money to your account by bank transfer?
Paweł Kędziorski They usually mail us a check but we do have the option of having it directly deposited into our bank accounts.
Your voice echos in the (bin)
fucking a!!! keep it up.... a real farming channel that actually talks
lifeblood_ dirt Appreciate you watching!
I work at an ethanol plant in Indiana. We have a total storage capacity of almost 5 million bushels. 🤑
Really interesting to see a automatic tarp closer and opener. All the trucks I've seen have been manual. Also having a automatic shoot for unloading is really neat. You really have some very nice equipment.
Ben Burns It's pretty handy!
Just watching you with your sweep orger brought back alot of memories. I use to work for a seed cleaning firm. Mazie, wheat, barley. Yes I remember the dust.
Foreign material always gets me. Have you ever had it independently tested? Years ago, I used an old Allis Chalmers pull type that did such a good job of cleaning it had a weed seed bag it collected material in. When I told the guy at the elevator, he hand pulled a sample and gave me a 0% FM! I know if they could develop a combine in the 40's that could clean grain that well, the combines today have to be at least as good?
a farmer listen to poker face lol
That pretty amazing how easy it is to haul grain now Of coarse we use to haul a few truck loads a year .great job on the video nice setup you guys have.
Done this exact process more times in my day than I ever care to count. Lol
Now that is the way it is done! You have just been subscribed to. Keep them coming. I am a small farmer in Ga. You have a better storage system than our local elevator! Do you have on board scales or do you visually load the truck? Keep them coming........
Thank you! We visually load the truck. We have a scale on our grain cart so we can get the loads nearly perfect from the fields but as far as loading from the bins we just do it visually.
I'm a new subscriber, you've got a slick operation.
Had some Pokerface goin' tonight changin' oil on wife's car. Quality jam!!
Damn nice Bluetooth Headset Sir :)
I want to hear your jake brake and put some chrome streight pipes on it
As soon as I seen the rock out scene I hit subscribe Lol! Great channel loved the humour!!
This was an excellent video, thanks you for posting it!
How many liters or gallons of grain or bushels does one of your Tanks hold in this truck loading area at your place?
The large ones hold about 60,000 bushels
Thank you appreciate the answer
One bushel should weigh one bushel?
I died when poker face came on lol
he didn't show us the in weight, hmmmmm
Still blown away by the tech.
So going to become Bio fuel :0
That has changed a lot sense ive hauled there much nicer.
Awesome video, how many bushels can you hold total. I am so jealous of your operation !!! You should go to the top of the auger system and give a nice visual of your place.
We can only legally load the trucks to 80,000 pounds. That let's us haul around 950 bushels per truck.
How many bushels will the farm hold?
+Jason Procai about 250,000 bushels total
Wow! That's about 263 truck loads, that should keep Jim busy for a while! Lols
My dad work for one of them
love it, how does it take to load up, if someone has not already asked that question
We can load a semi (950 bushels) in about 8-9 minutes if we push it.
+MN Millennial Farmer Thanks for the video. Nice system.
Would it be any faster if you pulled it?🤔
I've done something similar with a colton?loudest thing I've been around. Moving plastic materials. Like a massive shop vac. From rail cars into silos. Interesting at first. Then it just becomes work. A small mistake is a big expensive one. Mixing raw plastic materials that aren't supposed to be precision mixed is a big mistake. 😄
Curious, are you draining your aquifer up there as fast as we are here in kansas? Not long ago, once you got west of Hays there were no irrigated crops to be seen. Now there are center pivots all the way to Denver. Wells will be running dry soon, sad. Ethanol has its unintended consequences.
Chippewa Valley in Benson it looks like! Lot more streamlined then it used to be.. Thanks for sharing
This channel's got me like nobody.....
57fitter tell your friends!!
This video came out a month after I graduated high school 3 years ago.....awesome video
When unloading, what goes into deciding how much to open the hopper? And when loading visually, how do you determine when you’re loaded?
I lake it
I'd love to see you weigh the truck and see what their weight is to see if they're the same.
really loving your videos, keep it up! a little different to how we farm here in TN, i like seeing how different regions farm!
Good job giving away your address bud, but I live your vids, keep it up
You guys have a good setup but an overhead loadout bin would make it perfect
Some more great vids. Thanks!
H
P
best video ever.
I sure hope the ethanol pays better than today's price. I really appreciate your show!
Amazing video!! But you knew that.
Osha would have my add fired for being in bin with sweep running
I like your operation unload two to three bens at one time when one is emptying start the next two just impressed close one and open one just wow
Do you need a wet kit for those trailers? I've never pulled one
Another great video sir ...Thanks :-)
Where do you get your water for spraying love your site
Tats a small dq ain't seen one that small In a long time
Nice operation, great job!
very informative! Thanks .
Great, interesting video on hauling grain!
I love watching your shows
New subscriber. Nice grain setup I really like the 500 bu. pits. Have you considered a bin overheard your pits to load out trucks? Could you hit it with your leg?
Smashing Puppy We have considered it and yes we could hit it. We're able to load a truck in about 7-8 minutes when we're pushing it anyway so we haven't done it.
Thanks for the response. I am a 4th generation farmer alongside my dad and uncles down in sw wisc. We just wrapped up harvest on Nov 1st. You have an awesome shop and I really like that JD fert bar. Keep up the videos you guys have a nice operation!
Smashing Puppy Thank you!
Smashing Puppy OK
Very good Information
Nice I might be a farmer when I am older
Hello, just found you and subscribed. Like the way you're doing your videos. Down here in central NC we've had spotty rains all summer. Drought and high heat has really hurt yields on hay and grain. Look forward to seeing more and good luck!
thank you! hopefully you get some rains soon...
Is the Skid Steer Still Stuck?
country music Amigo🤠
Get that air outta dat seat
.
Very nice trailer
excellent video!
post notifications on!!!
Hey what up
farming
payday yeeee
great video,love the in depth explanations..keep it up..more please
trevor gough thanks for watching!
What size trailer is hooked up to your white truck?
Dragonx 392 our trailers are all 40 foot Timptes
Potential for a dust explosion there, no?
what plant do you haul too if you don't mind me asking
also you guys have a nice bin setup
+Anderson Farms thanks! this was Chippewa Valley in Benson
what plant do you haul too if you don't mind me asking
The Ethanol plant that's approximately 35 miles from the farm.
Chippewa Valley in Benson
What kind of trucks do you guys run?
We run Kenworths. 1 W900 and 2 T800s
where is your farm located
Read the ticket
congratulations last night zach
thank you!
MN Farmer, you have a better setup than one of our local CO'OP's. AG Producers takes in more than 50 million bushels in the Texas Panhandle. My son and I grow, irrigate; we then harvest 25 thousand bu. per day with help of two seasonal truck drivers, so we let the Co' op do the drying, storing and finding buyers. Our Neighbor grows several million bushels per year like you do but works his ass off.

How much does the government subsidize the ethanol operations? It lowers the quality of our gasoline and helps ruin small engines. I think the corn can be put to a better use frankly. Nothing personal; you're in business to make money of course.
Dixon Peer There have been ZERO ethanol subsidies for several years now. This went away a long time ago. As opposed to the oil industry, who accepts TONS of government money. Also, 70% of the value of the corn still remains after it is processed for ethanol.
Dixon Peer Also, oil companies are able to blend ethanol with lower-grade gasoline and still.meet octane requirements. I will argue that it's the poor oil that causes gas problems, not the actual ethanol. Alcohol attracts water, yes, bit a small amount of maintenance will help that. We have run ethanol in EVERY engine we have for many years and not seen an single issue from it.
No arguement, but I ask you: the government requires ethanol content in all road fuel gasoline I believe. Perhaps the outright subsidies are gone, but that requirement is a biggie. It seems to show the outsized strength of the farm lobby relative to the interests of the "rest of us". Here is a copy from a Google inquiry about ethanol:
"Pure gas gives better mileage than E10, and much better than E85, simply because gasoline has higher free energy than ethanol. The free energy of gasoline is 34.2 MJ per liter. ... Mileage will be reduced even more if your engine doesn't run as well on E10, which is often the case with older vehicles.
Dixon Peer Shouldn't the interest to the "rest of us" include things like energy security and renewable energy? You can't disagree with that, do you? Yes, gasoline is more efficient in an engine than ethanol, but gasoline is also more expensive per gallon, and much more harmful for the environment. You never hear of any beach being closed due to an ethanol spill. And emissions are cleaned up considerably when ethanol is added.
Do you put ethanol in the tractors? Just kidding.
