Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I am fortunate to be able to farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. Occasionally I'll get my dad in a video as well. While I am the 4th generation in my family to farm some of what we are still farming today, I really credit my dad with making our farm what it is. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
Please enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful, thank you for sharing!!! 💚🍃
That was way too cute. Finally a day off !!
Thank you for the explanation. It was great for the non farm watchers. 👍👍👍
When your youngster mentioned having a day off, i laughed. Made my day, love your videos.
One shirt heading across the big pond to the Netherlands. Nice!
The reason it's puffing in low areas its reacting to the moisture on top of the ground
😂😂😂😂😂 The floor cleaner salesman part made me laugh out loud!!!! You are awesome, Nathan!! I truly appreciate all your knowledge and all you do for your watchers.
Thank you for explaining the anhydrous and how it works, coming from the city but an avid interest in farming you explain things so even I can understand it.
Nice shirts. Will get both. Have a good day Nathan 😊.
Great to see and hear that the whole family is doing well. Boys enjoy your summer vacation and enjoy watching your baby sister grow.
I 100% agree with everything you said at the end about the quality of the Farm Focus products. I’ve ordered before and the quality is outstanding and I’ll definitely support you as well. The older I get the more I dislike ‘box’ stores and I’ll go out of my way and pay more if the quality of the product is there and it usually is!
Nice great information. Uncle owned a fertilizer place down n Tx. Had lots of fun helping the farmers out when applying for the farmers. Dang sure missed those days.
full face respirator is a very good idea. Many use a face shield but that does not seal. I met a fellow once that had been near a hose when it burst, his puples looked like resins, all winkled and shriveled. He was of course blind. Also smart that you don't let your boys ride with you when applying.
Very well Explained on the Anhydrous good video good to see y'all again
Great video and very educational
Thank you for clarification. Very interesting stuff
I always got to skip the last few days of school lol
The sand ridge is probably a little dryer. That’s why you see the puffs of gas. Dad use to side dress aqua which was a liquid nitrogen mix.
Last year I had a farmer dust me when he was applying it to his field while I was working our dozer about 100 ft away, took my breath away
Just placed my order.
Given the price of fertilizer: is your highest yield per acre, still your highest profit margin? In other words, when does it become more profitable to NOT use fertilizer / anhydrous?
Law of diminishing returns
I don’t like messing with nh3 I use 28 to side dress lot safer & more expensive yes , but I like sulfur .boron & stabilizer added in mine, in my part of the county nobody uses nh3 every one is all liquid side dress here in south west Indiana
Nathan yeah it’s me your pest lol I heard anhydrous is the dangerous kind of nitrogen. Also does sweet corn need anhydrous or nitrogen to grow? Your baby is pretty your a great dad.
Anhydrous is the dangerous form of N and yes sweetcorn needs N from some source.
360 Y drop Hagie, my opinion is the safest for the operator. Not to mention incredible expensive
How much difference in yield do you expect from the late planted beans verus those you planted early?
hi Nathan, can you use turn automation when applying anhydrous
I'm sure I can, just haven't messed with it yet.
On the anhydrous I knew a guy who worked at a place that sold it he got caught in a cloud of anhydrous no protection it blinded him for the rest of his life
How’s that sweet corn look?
The ammonia wholesale price has gone from $1,400 to 1,000 per ton this month. It cost $200 for the hydrogen in a ton. That is mostly made from 33 MM cubic ft of natural gas. Could also be from H derived from H2O. The smoke behind the rig is super saturated water vapor. Ammonia is colorless. I know all this because I have a degree in Natural science from studying Soil Science.
How much is your anhydrous costing you this year
Questions, is or do people in your area use aqua? When in ag work, aqua was the big usage in my area.
No not common
@@BorderViewFarms OK thanks . Very interesting to see the way farming around the county and Canada.
Why don’t you use the pit stop pro.
We don't own the tanks or have our own bulk tanks.
@@BorderViewFarms we don’t own our tanks and we don’t have bulk storage we do own the frames. But still have the pit stop pro. I thought they filled the tanks at the top so it wouldn’t matter. Maybe you could briefly explain it in a different video if you want.
Do other people not ise the same tanks you do? I guess I'm assume you have to mount stuff to the tank somewhat permanently. We can't guarantee we will get the same tanks every time as anyone who is pulling from that location can take whatever tanks are available.
@@BorderViewFarms oh I didn’t know you shared tanks.We have 5 doubles and one anhydrous bar. We had to mount a special hitch on all 5 frames of the anhydrous wagons, a special hitch on the pickup trucks to pull the wagons and of course the pit stop pro on the anhydrous rig. I made a recent 4 minute long video on a new TH-cam channel called corn dynasty if you want to check it out. if not that’s fine also. We are located in Kentucky so there’s a lot of things we do differently I guess. Btw your videos are awesome thanks for taking time to reply to comments, and make great quality videos.
One question which I probably know the answer. Here it goes-- how come y’all didn’t apply before you planted the corn, etc. just curious I’ve done both ways and seems to work either.
Hey Nathan. Love your content but there's one thing that anoys me: the black border on the intro foto's. Maybe I can help you. I am a content creator to and i have some expirence with motion design. If you send me youre logo and the pictures, i can animate it for you... so to speak as an exchange for further interesting content on your channel ;) Cheers from switzerland, Simon
I need a pocket t
Why don't you apply your AA preplant. We do a 1000 acres every year. No damage to the corn plant.
is it gonna be a double crop year ?
Not looking like it but hard to say.
how often do you have to change those cartridges out on the SPIT SHIELD MASK ??? LOL lol people around here were wearing those things back when the ''RONA'' was ''new'' out here!!! LOL BUT .... the ''activated charcoal'' elements need changing every now and then right??? do you change it when you start smelling the kitty litterbox??? LOL no smell no change yet?? or ... NEW FRESH CARTREGE EACH PLANTING SEASON... TOSS THE OLD ONES ??? or do you got some fancy ELEMENTS that ytou can just drop in some rubbing alcohol and it cleanes it out??? woah wouldn't that be cool, well not .life dependong on.. maybe that ain't such a good idea lol hahashashahahahah people put K&N filters on things then NEVER OIL OR CLEAN OUT THE THING AND MAINTAIN THEM AND THEN THEY DRY OUT and well .... boom clankclankclank >>insert ''WA WAAAWAA WAA WAA WAAAAAAAA'' sound!!
