  • ** Day 4 if cutting Red Lentils that I think are more green than red! 😂 🤷‍♂️
    ** Still working out some senor issues on the combines, but we do have all them up and running.
    ** I know, it's true.. We don't normally calibrate the combines nor grain carts because we don't feel wasting time. To calibrate a combine you must go until you fully full. Then stop call over a cart and then he ll take his weight and add yours to it. Then he ll tell how much weight you had and then you ve to punch it into the monitor. But that takes time away from harvest. And if the grain cart is off, then it's all off! Haha which the carts are, so then you have to do the same to the carts on a truck scale. It's just not worth our messing around to be honest. For what? So the combine ppl have an idea what's going? Why? Will change anything? No it won't 😂.. If they want to, they can figure that out easy, by the true mile test. 🙂
    ** Thanks Guys! 🙂 You are awesome

    Thanks for another great video Mike and team!
    Happy that all 7 combines and the carts run so well on the red lentils! Also glad that the updates and maybe growing familiarity among the whole team, and possible sharing the good settings all seem to work out well. More and more you know what works well, like how to avoid rocks getting pass the barriers and cause any harm internally in the machines by choosing the right settings with height and angle of the honeybee headers mounted at those machines. Possible also cause you get it cleaned well every single day so that the dirt can't do much harm in the machine or cause fire or whatsoever. Crop looks good. Happy for you.

      @@farmcentralohio it’s as simple as chucking them in boiling water along with chopped onion, carrot, maybe sometimes bell pepper and lots of spices and salt and cloves of garlic. Then you simmer it until everything is cooked through. Oddly, hwen the lentils get cooked, they end up looking pale yellow.

    Can you guys combine at night? It depends here on the crop and how much moisture has set in. Usually when it is getting dark it starts getting tough to knock out the beans or wheat. We can shell all night if you have the trucks and bins to put it in. With 7 combines and a 50 foot head you guys can fill up 10 trucks in no time.

      With all that technology and touchscreens in today's equipment, you would think the tractors could watch exactly how full each of the combines was at any given time on a monitor/ipad.
