    Thank goodness you have the ethonal plant to deliver to. One thing I’ve noticed is you have a great family to go home to. That’s the best especially when things aren’t going good. That’s the best when things are going south.

    Live in NYC, having corn for dinner tonight, I will certainly have new appreciation of what a farmer has gone through to harvest it. Hope the weather gets better for you.
    Thanks

    • @MillennialFarmer
      @MillennialFarmer  6 років тому +1

      A145084 DAVE our corn is not sweet corn (which is likely what you're eating), but it's very possible there is corn in the ingredients somewhere in your meal. Thank you for watching! I love hearing from non-farmers!

  • @thedonleroy
    @thedonleroy 6 років тому

    We had the same here today. Couldn't combine so I ripped a few corn stalks then we hauled dry corn to town until 4 & then we started combining only to get snowed out at 7:30 again. It snowed so hard I could hardly see driving the truck home. I'm ready for this harvest to be done with. Hope it's not like 2009 when we didn't finish corn until December 7th. Sound like some more snow & rain this weekend. Thanks for the videos.

    MN Millennial Farmer... feel sorry for you and the harvest conditions. I remember finishing in the frozen Texas ground Feb 1972. doesn't happen often here . I counted the acres we like: 60 of grain sorghum, 650 corn, and 40 of cotton. Our forecast for 30 day is dry so we should be in good shape. We run a 9770sts with 12 row heads.

    You're getting conditions like we had last year up here in Saskatchewan. Last year we got snow on October 1 so that held us to only 3 days where we combined in october. Good luck with the rest of harvest.

    We almost got done with beans last night, my dad ran a 9895 Massey combine and my grandpa runs a 1460 international while our hired men ran 2 semi and I ran the grain cart with a new Holland bidirectional tractor with a 590 kill bros grain cart, at 2:30 it started to frost even with the draper heads we could not keep cutting, we got almost 350 acres done yesterday but now its going to rain all week and we have 150 acres left, really frustrating.

    A good investment would be a cone bottom wet bin. So much easier. We have cone and a flat wet, but we try not to use the flat wet bin.
    The cone gravity feeds into the drag that goes directly to the dryer

  • @bazares4506
    @bazares4506 6 років тому

    I'm still learning. You crop corn and Soybean. Soybeans seem to pay more per bushel. Not sure, seem on 2500 acres plant both 50/50 is a safe bet if the weather plays a bad deal to you. Not sure here.
    Why out combine you don't make feed Silage? Not that this spread is not good to put back into topsoil for next year? Learning still.

    I have a friend in Iowa. Their ethanol plant docks anything over 12.5%. I guess the plant has to ship in most of their corn in because of this.

    • @133dave133

    @mrih1586 6 років тому

    Never ran tracks before. But assumed they were better in mud. Maybe that's not so ? Guess they do less compacting of the soil? Is there ever a time when the ground freezes for months at a time where you are?

    • @PaulsonFarms
      @PaulsonFarms 6 років тому +1

      Tracks are great in mud...until the mud starts building up in the rollers and on the frame. Then it has to be dug out by hand or it will freeze as stated.

    • @MillennialFarmer
      @MillennialFarmer  6 років тому +1

      mrih1586 Paulson is correct. And yes, the ground is always frozen here from about Thanksgiving until April.

    • @mrih1586
      @mrih1586 6 років тому

      Thanks for taking the time to reply and inform. Is this also true for large Dozers D-8's and such? Just curious. I'm from the south. Have a feeling this is not a problem for steel tracked machines. But can only guess.

    • @MillennialFarmer
      @MillennialFarmer  6 років тому

      mrih1586 this is a JD 2-track design problem. They rely on weight to drive the tracks. Most other tracked machines have some form of inner lug that drives them on the inside.
