    Summer Schedule
    Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
    Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
    These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

      @Acer Acres My Poor Olga was a rescue from another farm where she was not treated that well. I got her at 2 yrs of age when I was a kid.. She was afraid of trucks and tractors and yet did not want to be alone when I was at work or when I was at school. So she would climb up in the cab and at first sit in the buddy seat then lean against me and then try to get into my lap to be cuddled and to protect me from the nasty tractor...in the house God help me if there was a thunder/lightening storm.. Under the covers on the bed in a heart beat and if I wasn't there she would swarm my Mom and lay on her on the couch...

    • @lukestrawwalker
      @lukestrawwalker 4 роки тому

      No not the right kind of meters for singulating and planting corn seed. Plus the row spacing are wrong (well, unless you turned off 3 and then left one open all the way across) to get 30 inch rows. Plus it's only 10 feet wide so *maybe* you'd get 3-4 rows out of it... Corn needs to be planted ONE SEED AT A TIME, VERY PRECISELY SPACED OUT and at a CONSISTENT DEPTH AS POSSIBLE... A drill like this is meant to seed crops not sensitive to spacing and are planted at very high seeding rates, corn is the opposite of both of these factors. Later! OL J R :)

      @Acer Acres I believe Travis is the one that said drills are a controlled dump and they prefer the accuracy of the planter better and with the wider rows there is less problems with white mold.
      Also companies only demo certain equipment and sizes or else everyone would be trying 9rs and 60+ ft drills or 36 row planters. You get what's available and then purchase the size you need.
