    My dad planted about 70 acres of corn in 1969 and he used an old two row JD corn head that belonged to my granddad that was originally bought for an old JD 45 combine in the 1950's but dad was using it on his JD 95 combine one of our good neighbors who had his crop laid by in sept ran the combine for dad RIP JURL CLAYTON you were a fine man

    We dealt with aflatoxin in 2012. We discovered most of it is in the fines. We had a couple loads get rejected and we just brought them home and ran them thru an auger with a screen to get the fines out and then the loads passed.

    Matt
    First of all Thank y’all for taking the time to take a camera around all day and film. I’m a farmer to and I couldn’t imagine taking the time to do videos shots. So thanks for all y’all do. Just get them when you can

  • @andersonbagents2963

    I would say put out more videos regularly. As long as it’s not extremely poorly put together I’m sure most people won’t even notice the difference in quality. Plus more regular videos is better for channel growth. Enjoyed the video 👍🏽

    I love that red and blue paint. I’m green across the board. But the ‘real’ international harvester was way ahead of Deere. They had a rotary combine 22 years before Deere caught up, and their strong 70’s vintage tractors had mechanical front wheel assist. Deere put out a hydraulic front drive. All it did was insure you got stuck worse lol

    My good friend is a corn grower and he agrees that the worst problem with corn yield is the high tempertures during tasseling not so much the daytime temps but also the high time night temperatures
    95 + during the day and 80+ during the night. It's like cattle or hogs it takes after they get hot during the day another 4 or 5 hours after the sun goes down to really cool down. High night time temps are thought to be really critical for pollination health for corn

    Nathan Baker of Border View Farms shoots and edits most of his videos on his iPhone. Quality is fine and he puts out daily videos 20+ min long, no Sundays usually. 220 corn must have brought a smile to your face. Thanks for filming some Nate, we look forward to seeing more of you. Thank you Kelly for showing the Aflatoxin testing. Coffee bean grinder? And you don't have to tell us you're hot we already know that!😅

    Test weight of your grain is critical to combine loss in any grain or beans those lighter kernals will usally blow out the back of a combine. Alot of people don't realize how critical test weight is.

    Shorter videos, more often. Notch down the quality would be ok, just think of it as making a TV show in the early 60's; Grainy and jumpy but in color instead of black and white. We will appreciate what you are able to give us.

      Not to our knowledge. We filmed the first episode of Season 2 but the show was never renewed.
      We heard rumors the show was being shopped around before COVID but I think COVID put and end to it all.
      You’ll just have to suffer with our amateur editing on UA-cam. 😂

    Since when do you have to test the corn for aflatoxin? I first heard of aflatoxin years ago when it was found in dog food from China. I just looked it up and why aren’t we checking just about everything?

    Raw video footage is fine with me. People can always mute or move ahead if they dont like it. Try a real simple (2 hr) edit job and see how it goes. Is the alphatoxin particularly prevalent to your geographical area? Dont see many other you tubers testing for it. I hope your hired hand gave you lots of notice before he left. Thanks for your effort on all this for us.
