Oh yes. Very positive suprised by the amount of videos flushing through my feed. Especially in these tough and somewhat lonely times its nice to have this "crazy" type of Entertainment available.
If we overload seed potatoes that go into sea containers for a long time, we cover them with condensation blankets. These can absorb a lot of moisture. Maybe something for you at the top of the silos to prevent mold.
I worked on grain bins and silos back in the 80s. You guys should have safety harnesses on and with the layer of mold on the top you should have forced air respirators on. But its your life and health, not mine. Your getting huge amounts of condensation in that bin.
@@farmcentralohio Seen many of men buried in grain tanks. Just because they are full and sat all winter, doesn't mean you cant get buried. The harnesses is to pull them out. Was digging an unloading chain out of a harvest store silo full of haylage for 2 years. Took 2 days to dig it as it was compacted so hard. Quit the job on Friday so we put plywood at the opening to keep cats and kids out. Came back Monday and my boss went in the hole to cut the chain with a torch. He lit the the torch and the explosion killed him. Methane gas had built up in the whole.
@@fredted5115 lol totally different situation. Sorry you don't understand what he is doing. Keep on being a safety sally though, the world is already full of lots of you snowflakes :)
Slow & Steady with Ashtyn and you may have another movie star on your farm.🤣😂. How many bushels of chick pea seeds to you need to plant your fields? How many bushels does each of the Meridian Hopper Bottom bins hold? Bags sound like the preferred storage but I am guessing with your size of your operation that bags are too small to be practical. I was surprised to hear you take Sunday off during seeding but do realize the body and mind do need a rest. You may have to go COMMANDO 🤣😂 The other option is that underwear can be worn 4 times between laundry! Frontwards, backwards, then flip inside out for an extra two days 🤣😂
I just found this channel about a week ago and from what i'm seeing you've gotten like 8-10k new subs in just a week! Your videos are funny and interesting (fact wise) to watch so keep it up!
Like the vents in a house or barn I bet you could come up with something in that lid to let the air out better and keep the rain out as well. One of those round ones that spins with the wind and draws the air up is what I keep picturing. Older you get the less fun that climb and digging is gonna get lol
Glad to see you were able to secure some masks! With the COVID 19 even farmers are having difficulty keeping some on hand. People chuckle when I put on my commercial respirator but at least it can be washed at the end of every day plus I have spare filters.
I guess condensation causes the spoilage? We have Westeel hopper bins here that have mushroom shaped vents in the roof. But here in New Zealand we don’t get the temperature extremes you do either.
Mikeyy give us an update about your opinions on the deeres pulling the seeders! You do the best and most honest reviews there is. Really like that about you! Thanks for the update and ashtyn nice to see you more often in the videos!
In put country federal regulations require fall restraint when in a man lift and fall and entrapment protection when in a bin. You might strongly consider creating safe practices for working in bins. Ps great show
We had a neighbor lady farmer (about 75) who had some barley in her grainery that had too much weed seed. It had a moldy crust about 8-12" thick. We went over there and shoveled it all out for her. We wore masks, goggles, gloves & masks. To this day, I'm sensitive to mold. When they combine soybeans or corn in the fall, I immediately start choking up. My brother-in-law almost died from mold from a silo getting into his lungs. MOLD IS DANGEROUS!
Good morning Mike and Ashtin... Happy Wednesday to you. Thank you for the video... You guys have a great crew! I'll never look at chickpeas the same again 😳
I think a lot of us point out the lack of safety in the things you do. You should see it as your subscribers caring about you and the health of your team. We might all be "strangers" in the comment but taking time to point out safety issues is sometimes related to problems we all encountered in similar situation and we want you to avoid the issues we got into. Keep the good work and keep it safe!
Hey Mike I feel for you, On the weekend my brother in law and I were dealing with mold and clumps on a bin full of corn on that we were trying to unload, except we didn't inspect the top first (because we had other things on our mind and wanted to quickly get this done bad idea) so we unloaded till some of those clumps plugged up the sumps. Hmmm not so fun out came the cut off discs to make a whole in the door and the grain vac! So yeah needless to say that was allot longer project than we had hoped! Are those your seed for this year?
Seems like I joined last week and there were only 15000 subscribers. You are one crazy Canadian. Hate to put you and Cole the Corn Star in a stadium. With Both your guys energy combined the building would implode. All kinds of collateral damage. Best you two are countries apart. Be yourself it’s great. Well nothing wrong with normal either, but whatever makes Ashley happy. His fiancé is Naeva, her and Ashley would be support to each other.
Engelbert Strauss instead of Carhartt, Amazone instead of Case Sprayer, Fendt combines and tractors, whats next claas chopper, krone baler? :D btw enjoying your videos, missing canada kinda. I do like to see the german equipment over there xD
Mike, why don't you vacuum the silo tot reduce the humidity? You could use a simple vacuum pump connected to the top of the silo that you on and off 2-4 times a day only 5 minutes.
LOL you won’t need Penicillin shot for the year. I am not sure on your wedding colours but I went with brown suit with light pink tie for my wedding, don’t go with white suit? OK 👍
Hey Mike, nice to see another sasky farm boy vlogging. Keep up the good work👍. Just a quick question, why did you choose the 50' honey bee (know they make em in your area.)? I saw a guy running shelbourne strippers last fall around Willow Bunch, they look like the cats meow. Travel speed is quite high, residue thru the machine is extremely low. The only down side I can see with your operation would be the left over stock height on cereals (not too sure though). I'd love to see you demo one this fall and do a review. Maybe a dealer might put one in the field for the publicity😉
You should ventilate with a small fan and some vent duct. We would never let a miner go in an area like that without ventilation. Same should apply for you, safety first. I don't know shit about farming, but would filling the bin with Nitrogen stop the mold?
dumb question for you If you have had this problem before, then why put chick peas in a Meridian bin? Why not use a bag if that is what they keep the best in? Sorry for my ignorance. I never grew chick peas.
Must admit I’m quite enjoying this spike in uploads from you, keep it up
Thanks good sir! 🙂

Don't simp on him

I find myself checking your channel couple of times each day I really enjoy watching about this amazing farm
Ashton is cute getting excited about her garden after you guys plant 40000 acres. 👍
Great video Mike ...” Yeah Man be a farmer “ they said “ I’ll be fun “ they said ... lucky ever day isn’t like this ... keep up the good work guys 💪👍😀
A nice fence around the garden is a necessity when you got pets of any kind!

Your getting huge amounts of condensation in that bin.

Nothing a few beers can't fix
A safety harness, in case they fall? to where? lol Relax safety sally :)

That was a lot of work to bad you can’t just replace the air with argon or co2. Guessing that would stop the mold. Oh your puppy is nice.

Wow, Ashton is not only a good worker, But she is good lookin too!!!
Same thing happened to the Welkers i believe. But they stored theirs in a giant shed. Chick Peas sound like a giant pain in the ass!! Lol
The welkers stored yellow peas in theirs not chick peas
That went a lot easier than I thought.
Yeah I agree
Great work bro
Oh crap that’s not good in that grain bin fm , I’ve been there done that. Great awesome video,
Thanks guys!!
Great video Mike keep up the good work and be safe
Mike, you are the Man
I feel for ya , I had to do a similar job to one of our barley bins , boy does that stuff itch
You ought to try Oats 😂
Could u use oxygen barrier plastic like we do on bunker silos. Idk if it would work or not just an idea.
Great! Now every time I buy chick peas I need to watch out for fungus and ...other crap mixed in. Sometimes ignorance *is* bliss.
Haha 😂
Nothing wrong going Commando style! 😂👍
Keep up the great work Mike!!
Thank!

@@mikemitchell2554 thanks for replying!
Whats wrong with the Amazone?
And what will you get instead?
The aren't made for our country I don't think.. Great company to work with tho! 🙂
Use a shop vac to get the chick peas out. Used to do it with fertilizer
Grain vac with an extra long hose to vacuum the top every once in a while? Thanks for our videos 🦾💯
Good job guys
Need a load of manure for that garden?
You may be able to make penicillin from the mold.
I could feel my chest hurting just watching that
Mike, why don't you vacuum the silo tot reduce the humidity? You could use a simple vacuum pump connected to the top of the silo that you on and off 2-4 times a day only 5 minutes.

Haha thanks Matt!
Airrators and fans here in Australia we store chickpeas for up to 12 months sometimes longer never have that issue
It's our temp swings to - 40C to plus 12 in January that kills them 😂 it's a normal thing here in Canada
@@mikemitchell2554 haha lol you can keep your -40C
Haha 😂
Legends good content mike from Australia 👍
Alot better then millennial farmer atleast you do some work!
Haha thanks guys
LOL you won’t need Penicillin shot for the year. I am not sure on your wedding colours but I went with brown suit with light pink tie for my wedding, don’t go with white suit? OK 👍

Thsnks good sir! 🙂
i wonder if coring the bin would help with this? no idea if it works with pulses...
Chickpeas cool buddy . That seed for you to plant ?
You're a fricking adorable couple ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Came across your channel two weeks ago and love your videos !!! A question how do you arrange which paddocks to sow and in what order
That's the winter job.. Planning
Weird question Mike, what brand do you wear for work pants? You guys must just destroy clothes constantly. Happy seeding!
Brings back memories. Seen way worst. How many acres will you be planting with Chickpeas?
🤔 6k this year
Re-group on a Sunday 👍oh nice!!🤣subscriptions have had a turbo boost recently!!👍👌😲🤣🍻
Yeah I know, crazy.. Why I don't know 🤷♂️
@@mikemitchell2554 frequent videos will do that to you mike also..the fact that you are funny honest and drive dang cool equipment helps 💯
Well bourgault recently joined farming simulator 19 people wanna know about them who dont
...she has the best smile.
Right?!
hi mike just watched from the riverland of south australia in australia good video
Are there bins that work better with chickpeas? Like some with active ventilation?
Bags are the best
@@mikemitchell2554 lots of bags
Mike that’s nothing 😂😂 we had water go into are 500 000 bu bin we had to poke at it all summer long hahahah
Can't imagine!
Next time, you should use some kind of plastic pipe as a drainage and dump rotten stuff straight into bucket.
What about spreading some plastic over top layer of the chick peas inside the hopper just a thought maybe
They would sweat and get more mouldier
Mission impossible... 😆
Woho you did it
Out of underwear? Just borrow a pair from your fiance, sharing is caring.
Ha! 😂 🤫
I was going to say that if you drove red tractors u could get away with wearing women's underwear, but with green tractors u cant.
Very good 👏🏻
Where's your grain vac??😀 By the way thank you I love my chickpeas😀
Don't own one
Is the sowing company over? Have you sown a lot?
Hey Mike! Looks fun in that bin haha. Do you guys have Bin Sense?
Only in the big bins we do
@@mikemitchell2554 good good!
Keep up the good video ;)
Just wondering where at in Sask do you farm? And how many acres?
If it is a hopper then why not empty it and just leave the ruts behind?
Deadpool is that you?
Ha! 😂 I get alot
Is it not quite dangerous inside these bins because of CO2? Or did you ventilate before?
Nah it's good.. 🙂
Mike i have suggestion, you should take gopro and put it on your head and film everything you are doing ;D
I might make you guys motion sick tho
@@mikemitchell2554 nah bro, dont worry about us ;)
What’s the difference between a chickpea and a lentil? A lentil won’t pee on you😂
dumb question for you
If you have had this problem before, then why put chick peas in a Meridian bin? Why not use a bag if that is what they keep the best in? Sorry for my ignorance. I never grew chick peas.
Hey Tim, because we have to put them in bins to treat them, we clean our seed into bins
I wonder if a really long vacuum hose would work, and unload the hopper from the top? 🤷♂️
That looks like a big mess. I think the whole bin should be spread on a field.
It was good once we skimmed it
Mike you're a lucky man with a wife like that
I know
Thanks
Girlfriend not wife (yet)

Mike is that a hockey rink u just drove past on your right or was that a hutterite colony u were driving thru ...?.....at 9:40...

That's a lot of hummus.
How do you like your hummus there boys with a little mold do ya...lol

Yeah, after seeding
Go team blue jay
