To: all farmers, Thank you for feeding us, your hard work and dedication is certainly never appreciated enough. Keep up the amazing work! Love- All the people in the world
The residue that is consistently left on soil through no-till farming (what we do) prevents most of the wind and water erosion that made the dirty thirties what it was.
As I have said I grew up around this and never saw cattle grazed on early wheat in the fall, nor did I ever see hay grinding. Thank you for enlightening me. I have mixed thoughts (note: not emotions) about taking out the trees, but certainly see the economic point. Excellent of you to point out the extensive business/paperwork/(hinting at the) regulatory aspect of farming. And the necessity to treat animals humanely while raising them for food at the end was excellent. Thank you, again.
I would say we are a typical medium sized family farm in central Kansas. We have a completely family run operation, so to call us industrial is quite a stretch!
You're cattle are more skittish than mine. Love these videos! Its nice to see what other farmers do. I'm a small farmer so seeing the big leagues is quite impressive.
Hey guys! I really enjoy your videos. It's great to see what others do on their farms and great to learn something new. Looking forward to next months video. "No Farms No Food"
Love watching these videos l dont plan on being a farmer but i would love to do some of this stuff, and i have finally found people who feel the same as i do as animals, God put them here for humans, but we do treat them right when they are alive!
No, we are primarily a beef cattle farm. It is unrealistic to think we could raise vegetables and fruits on a large scale along with cattle. We do have a garden!
You don't take the netting off the bales??nice video it's good to see farming else where in the world! A little bit different to how we do it here in the uk but basically the same! 5*****
They probably do when they use there semi but when using tractors the don't go fast enough for them to fall off unless its not stacked right. I would know i'm a farm kid. Glad you asked :)
Today, cattle (esp. steers) are held in feedlots instead of pastures (grass fed) and due to their close proximity they are vaccinated, which were unneeded in times previous due to their being further spread apart. Cattle today are often corn fed (with grasses/hay) in order to produce a heavier steer quicker where in times past cows were grass fed. What are your thoughts on how this impacts the eater of the beef (vaccinations, growth hormones, and corn (sprayed with pesticides/herbicides)).
I searched the comments on this video because I was also wondering about the trees, and I saw that there wasn't much information. I know that it was mentioned in the video that it was old, and I can see how old trees would take up space, cast shade, and may not look good because of dead trees. I was just wondering are the windbreaks mentioned on the cattle lots trees? Also, were trees planted on the edges of property in the past? - you've mentioned in your videos that family farms are growing. Also I'm not sure if you'll read this, but how do you decide how large the fields are when you do crop rotations? Do they change from year to year? Are there windbreaks between them? I know y'all are careful since in a song explanation it mentioned terraces for erosion control. Okay, that's it for now! I also like how you keep God in your videos.
hew im 9 and we are farmers but farm crops fresh to suply to the markets and i have lernt to drive manual i think it is fun on the farm buut we do not run on john deere we use kubota case ih mcomike lamborgine and a ton of other ones but were from australia
I would like to point out to you that the reason those TREE lots were planted years ago was to prevent the Dirty Thirties from happening again. I see this happening all across SD, and its not good. Just because you need the land, doesn't mean tearing the trees out is healthy for the land. An Article from a news paper in my area (True Dakotan) is remembering the 75th anniversary of the Worst Day of the Dirty Thirties. you should google it.
Dan it wrong button agin but I load bales turned 90 degrees and 2 at a time.the bales don't fall off then. Why not use a semi for hauling bales like that any what's?
I'm curious --- At this price, $120 per 100 lbs, Do you have a 'Ballpark Figure' of what this relates to as far as grocery store / consumer beef prices? Example: Ground Hamburger would be approx. $2.29 lb or ribeyes at $7.39???? Is there some formula for calculating this? And Thanks for all the videos. Very good job Peterson guys & gals. Bart in NC
@ThePetersonFarmBros , you guys should really check out nitrogen stream bars from needham ag. they really do pay, we have them on our farm and they are invaluable.
I have a question for you. Are your crops genetically modified? Also, what is your opinion on Monsanto and their vexatious litigation? I've read plenty of articles about this, but I'd like to hear about it firsthand from an actual farmer, not a politician. (I personally have no problem with GMO crops, but I disapprove of their patent enforcement.)
Winter wheat is not a perennial crop, it is annual. The only reason it comes back after the winter is because certain types of wheat have been bred with perennial grasses to give it a perennial feature, but the crop still only remains annual.
This isn't really an industrial farm, not in my eyes anyway. Although it is big! i farm 20acres, and have 15cows and a bit of vegetables, so this is quite something else.... but not yet industrial, still a nice family farm.

Great video. You guys are awesome and I so appreciate what you do for our country.
These videos should be shown in classrooms across the country so kids can learn what life is like for farmers.

It's so fun to see how you do on the era farm. Do not stop with UA-cam for a long time!

You guys are always helping me with these videos. Good video. Thank you !

Awesome video FarmBros, thanx also for feeding us in the world...Ecen thouth im Canadian
Really enjoying and learning from these! Thanks for creating and sharing!
Good luck with the crops and cattle this year! I'm a farm kid from Canada.
Thank you for all of your hard work and for these great videos. :)
I have to say, thank you so much for making these videos! I'm learning a lot!
Love watching these videos l dont plan on being a farmer but i would love to do some of this stuff, and i have finally found people who feel the same as i do as animals, God put them here for humans, but we do treat them right when they are alive!
Farmers rock! We could not exist with out you.
Excellent informative and easy to understand video of farming, well done
These videos should be shown in AG classes around the country!
No, we are primarily a beef cattle farm. It is unrealistic to think we could raise vegetables and fruits on a large scale along with cattle. We do have a garden!
Keep up the good work guys.
Great video.
Keep promoting agriculture! Great video,

Google "The lowdown on GMO's with a family farmer." The randomrationality. com article is a lot of what we believe.

You guys seed your fields in march wow where I live there is still snow on the ground and lots of it

I take these with my cell phone while working, so I don't think the camera work will ever be that great. Of course it's not really about that anyway!
That's interesting that you graze the winter wheat in the fall. How high do you let it grow before you turn the cows out on it?
dont you take the net of the bales before it goes into the grinder?
Amaizing video
yes, farmers know more on how to conserve the soil now then back in the thirties dust bowl
this is great!
At 6:40 about cattle sales online, do you have a link or website address so we can take a peek at it?

i like your truck sounds good man
Dan it wrong button agin but I load bales turned 90 degrees and 2 at a time.the bales don't fall off then. Why not use a semi for hauling bales like that any what's?
this is great
Your guys are living my dream. Lucky!! Haha
What about the twine????? When grinding up the round bales?? Is the twine in the finished product to?!
How come you put your cattle out to graze the young wheat? is it to till it so you get more heads ?
I want to farm because it seems fun. You will create another dust bowl removing those trees!
Welcome ...
Actually, that's $1.20 per pound at 800 pounds per head!
Why do you allow the cattle to graze on the newly planted crops?
I'm not to sure but in one of his videos he said to like kill off the weeds and stuff.. Don't hold me to that.
good vid how many tractors do you have
Hey guy's question for you, was that the per head of cattle that you get
I have been into that sale barn before
4:30 dont you need to take the netting off the bale?
Great video! I feel like I'm also watching a Minecraft tutorial on how to harvest wheat! :D
I'm curious --- At this price, $120 per 100 lbs, Do you have a 'Ballpark Figure' of what this relates to as far as grocery store / consumer beef prices? Example: Ground Hamburger would be approx. $2.29 lb or ribeyes at $7.39???? Is there some formula for calculating this?
And Thanks for all the videos. Very good job Peterson guys & gals.

I never knew that wheat was a perennial crop.
Winter wheat is not a perennial crop, it is annual. The only reason it comes back after the winter is because certain types of wheat have been bred with perennial grasses to give it a perennial feature, but the crop still only remains annual.
I learned something new, thanks.
GO FARMERS

This isn't really an industrial farm, not in my eyes anyway. Although it is big! i farm 20acres, and have 15cows and a bit of vegetables, so this is quite something else.... but not yet industrial, still a nice family farm.
