This is Making Harvest a Pain!

- Harvesting the soybean fields this year feels more like driving our farm equipment through a maze than a field, because of the 13 inches of rain in June and replanted areas. Join me today as I take the reins of the combine and harvest the areas of the fields that are dry. Learn about why we drive around the wet soybeans and the current plan to harvest them. Also, see John Deere's Machine Sync in use between the combine and the grain cart tractor. It's pretty evident that harvesting the soybeans this year is going to take longer than years past because of how much our productivity is lessened due to all the extra turning around and driving in a random fashion.

Matthias, aka HiTech Farmer, is a 5th generation family farmer from Southwest Minnesota who promotes agriculture by capturing it through the lens of a camera, one video at a time. Passionate about emerging farm technologies and the benefits of 21st-century precision agriculture tools, such as farm equipment, GPS, and autonomous tractors, Matthias is determined to bring new methods into his operation. These methods can improve his farm's efficiency and sustainability into the future. Learning from his parents' (Mike and Dawn) work ethic, Matthias sees every day as an opportunity to educate and entertain about the daily triumphs and challenges his farm faces, whether technology-related or not. His mission is to share his enthusiasm and knowledge of agriculture as he embarks on what it means to be a farmer in the modern era.
I totally get it! Harvesting can be such a challenge, but your breakdown of the issues is spot on. Great video!
with no frost yet harvest is a challenge everywhere in the midwest
Excellent video. Incredible work you do.
I always wondered how the combine and grain cart could move in tandem? I thought you really just had to manually drive it carefully. That's pretty cool!
I feel for you. A small spring can bring the whole show to a stop. I hope you can get it done beforre the first snow.
Weather is supposed to turn mid-October. Or so they say
It is amazing to see the different perspectives in this video. Some of the stuff I do not understand like the F1 and F2 stuff. But still interesting.
Congrats to 10k btw. Time for a special? :D
Glad you liked it! We will see on the special
I have your channel. I subscribed on another account I have subbed here as well.. I love all farming channels. I gotta say watching farming videos on UA-cam is so inspiring, but to see farmers farm their lands solve problems were most people wouldn’t have a clue I don’t think farmers get the respect that they deserve anyway I could rant on all day, but that was awesome. Seeing your mom out there pulling the grain cart as well awesome. God bless you guys.
Thanks for the support. Farming is as much a science as it is an art. Always something to learn and figure out
Mathias, wow, talk about frustrating for a high-tech farmer to be down for hours for a broken spring. That sucks. The bearings on the electric motor, I'm just wondering if they were made in China? You wouldn't think a retired nurse would know much about electric motors, but I do. My dad owned an electric motor sales and repair shop in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He got a lot of work from John Deere, which was very close to us in Waterloo. He taught me a lot about electric motors, and I was able to do some of the repairs (with his oversight and checking my work). I can read micrometer calipers and not need a digital readout, run a metal lathe, arc weld, and run a torch. I haven't done any of that since I was twelve years old. Dad sold the business and semi retired.
One of my favorite things to do was burn out the junked electric motors and pull the copper windings, brass bushings, separate the steel staters, and cast iron end bells. When he thought we had a pickup load, we'd haul it to the recyclers and sell it. I got the money. Pretty good deal for me. He was a very good dad.
Wow you know more about electric motors than I do! I'm not sure if the bearings were made in China or not. I find small repair shops like the one your dad owned very fascinating as they supply a vital service to many businesses. I wish I knew what you knew about electric motors!
I enjoy your videos. Your finger snap makes me wonder if you have been watching Zach Johnson's videos? Wishing you a great, safe harvest. 😊
Haha
If you make any money this year farming, you will have earned every penny.
I like that you said "penny", because that's about it
@@HiTech_Farmer lol
😊😊😊😊
And I thought farming sim was hard, holy crap all thoughs breakdowns would make me crazy🤣
Haha
With the down time, and a service call I bet that was one expensive spring! We got our first light frost two days ago but tonight they are calling for 4 degrees below freezing ( -4C ) and frost province wide.
Yeah hopefully the service call won't be too bad. Oofta don't tell me about cold weather, I still have green soybeans down here in MN
Oh boy, header problem causes stress and frustrations go sky high. Combine is testing you. 😂
You know, I'm not a farmer..., buuuut... that disparity in the maturity of those beans that were planted at the same time as the rest but ended up getting more moisture which led to those beans taking longer to be ready for harvest seems to give some special insight into how there could be a higher yield bean crop if there was more moisture distributed evenly over the entire crop, or something like that. Anyway, something is very much odd with that great disparity in moisture content which should translate to there being more or less profit. It does not compute.
Time will tell how they yield. Thankfully it has been an unusually warm start of fall so they are given time to finish!
@@HiTech_Farmer That, to me, looks like a miracle, and will, no doubt, impress a lot of people with your tenacity.
