Our Corn Harvest from POV of Tractor & Grain Cart. Come along with me and get a glimpse of harvest

- This is the first field we have harvested corn. It is our home field and I take you along to get a glimpse of what my job, as grain cart operator, entails. There is no narration because of the noise level during the process. I rely on captions to explain what I am doing. This is a short video and only gives a small visual of what is involved in harvesting corn… but I think you will get the idea 😉
Great lesson on corn harvesting. A great job recording everything. You’re becoming a real farm girl.
@@quakethoc2249 I thought I was in retirement haha… but I guess it was just a career change🤷🏻♀️
This brings such memories for me as a child on my grandfathers farm in Indiana approximately 50 years ago. Equipment wasn’t as high tech as what you have but remember well filling the carts with those bushel’s of corn. If I recall the carts had a lever you opened at the bottom that opened and filled the conveyor. Had to use a shovel to get the last of the corn out then back to the fields.
@@BloomWhereYourPlanted-8a … awww…what precious memories for you❤️. Nothing more fulfilling than farming. Amazing how such a tiny insignificant looking seed can grow into a 8 foot stalk of corn and produce so many more seeds.
Thank you for that sweet comment ❤️
Fascinating!
@@PeggyMills thank you for your comment❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing! I grew up in the bread basket of IL,: Paris and they mainly harvest seed corn there now, but I am sure other types as well.
@@josweatt898 as I write this now I am out in the corn field, waiting for my husband (in the combine) to get a full load so he can dump on me. I have breathed, eaten, and bathed in SO MUCH DUST!! 😝. But we are so blessed 🙏❤️
I am thankful 🥰
@@letsgrow260 you really know what you’re doing and it does not look easy by any means. I don’t see how you film everything while you are working so hard! Thanks for sharing.
@@josweatt898 hahaha… that’s so sweet of you. Funny thing is, I just retired a year ago from a career I had for almost 30 years. Had NOTHING to do with dirt.. or seed.. or large equipment. My husband has been farming for a while (after he got laid off from a career he had for 20 years). I only started helping him farm last year. Believe me… I have done plenty wrong! And I got told about it! Haha.
But thank you so much for your vote of confidence. I will be sure and tell my husband LOL
@@letsgrow260 I remember when I helped a sugarmaker in Northern Vermont where we used to live. I spilt half the bucket of sap down my rubber boots then realized no need to take lid off just take bucket off tree and dump in pale. He just grinned at me when I realized my mistake but never uttered a word.
@@josweatt898 those type mistakes are the BEST teachers. You will NEVER forget that experience. And now… you can smile about it😁
EXQUISITE! Your movies are so visually beautiful. How does the combine turn those complete plants into just yellow corn? What goes on inside that amazing machine? It looks like just whole corn kernels are coming out. Did you grow up on a farm? You look so pro! I'm in complete awe. Does the machinery and equipment need much ongoing maintenance? You all must be so busy. Loved the blue grass music, too! Thanks so much for showing us this!!!!
I've been busy too - NOT - haha I bought a dwarf smoke bush. I've been wanting a smoke bush but no room for it and the n I saw this at Home Depot. It is called Velvetini. Each leaf (dark blackish green) has a narrow pink pinstripe around the outer edge. I'm not sure if that is just the newer, younger leaves or not. It is a fair size - about 20" x 18" According to the tag it matures to 4 x 4 ft. We had a huge rainfall yesterday and overnight so all the plants are plump and perky again. I'm really happy that you had a successful harvest. I've been hoping that's what you were busy doing and not hit with any bad weather.
@@patbryan602 Your comments are ALWAYS so sweet and encouraging ❤️. Thank you🥰
I grew up on a farm… but not a working farm. Mostly wooded farm. But as kids we had chickens, baby goats, horses, etc and even raised a baby deer that was abandoned by its mother. Kids growing up in cities miss out on so much.
The farm machinery is in CONSTANT need of maintenance. Thank the Lord my husband is very skilled and talented in that area. The combine is an amazing work of technology for sure. As the header (thing out front grabbing the corn) goes through the corn it has teeth that rip off the ears. The ears then get pulverized (so to speak) and the kernels pop off and get sifted. The chaff gets blown out the back and the kernels go through the auger and get dumped in the top of the combine to collect. Once the top is full of corn warning lights start flashing on the outside of the combine which signals the grain cart operator (me) to get there quickly so the combine can dump the load in the grain cart. That’s the Reader’s Digest version anyway haha.😁
Your dwarf smoke bush sounds very interesting and beautiful! The pink pin stripe sounds so unique!!!😍
Hi.
1st time watching.
What happens to all the corn left on the ground. Does go to animal feed or just gets thrown out? God Bless
@@grahamfinn4149 do you remember the story of Ruth in the Bible? Remember how she gleaned Boaz’s field?? Well, sometimes I find a missed corn ear or two and take it to the back of the farm and give it to the squirrels. Now…we lose corn kernels around the pit that the birds and mice get to eat. But honestly, not much corn is lost. Thank you for watching and for your comment. And May God bless you as well❤️❤️❤️
