  • You guys voted for how we decide what field to harvest next, so here ya go! I was planning on covering soybeans first, but it’s been raining and so windy that I went with corn since I could do it inside. I hope you enjoy!

    Googled that fancy moisture testing tool on your desk, those things aren't cheap! Knowing that farming isn't the most lucrative career path, although necessary, really makes one appreciate the expenses you face! Thank you for what you do!

    Driving around, I'm surprised at how much corn has been harvested in my area. The farmer I worked for would get so mad when the moisture test came back too wet. You were better off to hear it over the radio than be standing next to him. I can't help but love the farming channels!!

  • @danne77sthlm
    @danne77sthlm 2 роки тому +1

    I would have loved to have that back in the days, we had a portable one, that you put the grain in, to the top, tok a small ruler thing and scraped the top level and then you tightened the lid back down to a certain point depending on the grain type, and then there was a meter on the front that showed the moisture
    Not so accurate as this one, but worked fine enough..but wow, good guess on just hearing it rattle!
