Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Andy, Iv been watching your channel for just over a year and I still get excited every time you post a video. I really enjoy the content you put out. I like how you explain what your doing and why your doing it. I farm in Utah, nothing to the extent that your family dose but I still enjoy see how different the farming practices are in different states. Thanks for all you do and taking us along with you. I hope things are thriving and your getting a chance to catch up on your sleep since that’s all row crop farmers do in the summer lol
Thanks, Doug. Things are progressing very nicely on our farm. I hope everything is going well for you and your family!
👍👍
Really love the technical data on your channel and the photography.👏👏👏
Thank you!!
Boy, you got a fair bit into the ditch with your tanker there. That would make me sweat.
Yeah it was farther than I should’ve in hindsight!
John Denver, John Deere it all works!
Agreed!
Your DB 60 could do some of my patches in 2 passes
We’ve got 1 spot on the entire farm where it is almost too big to get in. Other than that, bigger has been better!!
You Do A Great Job! Top Notch Outfit 👍 Great Equipment! Best Channel On TH-cam, Hands Down, Best Commentary.👌
Thank you!
Awesome video ❤😊
Loving the videos Andy
It's a good thing you have a day job
That’s true. I usually have a night job as well!
Love the jake break
Haha me too! 🤣
Procrastinating that winglet fix ended up costing more time then just taking the 5 minutes to do it while checking nozzles in the morning lol great to see the crop going in
I didn’t procrastinate on it. I broke right before I fixed it!!
You Do A Great Job! Top Notch Outfit 👍 Great Equipment!
Always enjoy your videos Andy. But, I am curious. As you were returning home tonight, was that you singing or did you run over a Cat?
I’ve never been known for my singing… 🤣
@@aTrippyFarmer Only joking of course. Thoroughly enjoy your videos and your vast knowledge of agriculture. Things sure have changed a lot since I grew up on a farm in the early 70's.
@@JerryStaton I didn’t take it offensively! There is a lot that has changed, but I think the fundamental principles and values have remained very similar.
I was laughing at your singing!!!
It isn’t the best!
So dad operates the combine like a wild man, and putts around with the planter?
Yeah I think that was a false statement. Someone trying to make themself a little more important. Marty would be more efficient as common sense would tell you.
I run much faster than dad in the planter. He is happy doing 8-9mph. I like to get more done, although it usually isn’t necessary.
Nope. I told it exactly how it is.
Our planting and harvest seasons are so spread out with all the specialty crops we grow, but the corn and beans are all pretty bunch between mothers and memorial days.
Heck, that’s how we could get pretty decent acreage with a lot less equipment
Andy, have you tried to fold the spray booms manually? Is the spring tension adjusted correctly? Is the boom level with the ground? Not a Hagie expert, just a manual reader. Raising a glass to many more unproductive days!
I’m not sure that you can fold the winglets manually!
@@aTrippyFarmer P 3-45 2020 OM Auto/Manual Mode
Auto Mode allows the operator to fold/
unfold the booms by operating the Boom
Extension Switches (located on the side
console). Manual Mode allows the operator
to fold/unfold the booms manually operating
the corresponding boom switches on the
Hydrostatic Drive Control Handle and the
side console. Fold Extensions
Fold Extensions must be activated to
enable Auto Fold operation of the outer boom
sections.
NOTE: When Fold Extensions are disabled
in auto mode, the main boom will
fold/unfold, but the outer boom
extensions will not. I have never laid hands on a Hagie. Just a DUB! May have binged position sensors on the swing cylinder when it hit the ground. Thanks for listening Andy!
Shoot you load everywhere then he looks to the camera and smirks lol made my day.
There are so many good jokes to be had, but I try to keep it PG… 🤣
It's easy to put in the hours during planting. The excitement along with the extra adrenalin just keep me rolling. But when that next rain hits, it will be hard to stay motivated.
That’s why you gotta sprint while you can. You’ve only got so much in the tank!
I bet you would talk under water cheers good videos
I’m sure that I could for a minute or two!
Howdy trippy
Thanks for watching and commenting!
So do y’all farm with your moms dad at all or is that a totally different operation?
They are totally separate. On occasion, we do help them out, but it is rare.
Looks like you are getting hang of sprayer. Is your pops liking the results so far? Or too early to tell?
Too early to tell. I’m not sure that we will see any difference in quality of work. It will just save us money!
Which tractor are you buying for your dad ? 8r 370 , 8r 310 , 8r 410 ?
I could afford the toy model of the 8R410!
Ok, …… um did you say you were so mad at the spayer that you would drive it into the ditch…… cone on Andy you? As long as you have been waiting on it? 😂😂 not possible 😂😂 lol ….
J/k Andy you guys do a great job especially on being great land sewarts!!
I was just frustrated! It has been kind to me since that issue!!!
Andy, I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago. So far I am really enjoying them. How many acres of corn and beans do you plant?
A few thousand total. Usually about 50/50 corn and soybeans.
Powerseats are nice...but powerseats with memory function are great.
Edit: How do you get so much info on the weather app? All I get in the 10-day forecast is an icon and night/day temps :-(
If it is the Apple weather app, you probably need to make sure it is updated to the newest version. I just click on the day and it gives me all of that info!
So, do you think the spayer is paying for itself? Nice videos, and have a safe planting season.
Yes it’ll have a positive return every year over cost of operation and deprecation. The only thing that could hurt that is a major breakdown.
The one downside of hot loads is you cant adjust the carrier rate to get a field done in one load if its fairly close and leave the tender
That’s a big downside. You almost have to run heavy in the tanker until the last few fields to make sure your math is correct!
@@aTrippyFarmer what weather app do you use
keep working hard man. How’s the new medicine? make things easier or days longer?
For an ag retailer employee it’s a no sleep for the wicked kind of job the hours aren’t for the weak that’s for sure!
I’ve got a lot of respect for everyone in the business. Most of the time, they do all of the work and get all of the flak from some farmers.
Your drone shots are overexposed try running it in manual. That way you can set the exposure to the proper exposure and it won’t automatically change when you’re pointing down and all it sees is dark dirt. .
I don’t have the time to constantly adjust the exposure in manual mode. I could use an ND filter, but those are a pain as well.
Please do not pull the tanker that far off the road, a soft berm has you pumping on the side.
Yeah it was a little far off the road!
First
🏆🏆👍👍👍
Im sorry you bought a hagie. What a horrible idea driving into your spray all day.. just makes no sense at all. And the vision is ridiculous. John Deere all the way and don't drive through your spray.? Probably one of the worst designed machine that ever made it into production.
The design doesn’t seem that poor to me, especially considering that there are other brands that use a similar strategy. Front and rear boom sprayers have their individuals strengths and weaknesses.
