    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    Your videos have been a big part of my life. I have been struggling dearly with my mind and what way I want to go, about my life. Your videos have been a huge relief when I need to take a break from life. Even tho it’s just farming videos it’s something about your videos that make my dam day. Thanks for the content man.

      When I was growing up my mom used to say “ it’s hotter than billy blue blazes”. I never figured out what that meant. But I knew it meant we were going to be baling hay. All small squares back then. Lol

  • @jacksak
    @jacksak 2 роки тому +2

    60 years ago I was doing haying on our New Hampshire dairy farm. Being young at the time I loved the work, especially after coming down from packing a dusty, dirty hayloft in the evening to get a 16 ounce can of Budweiser beer. WOW, that was the best tasting beer ever after that kind of work.

    Hi Ryan,
    It is great watching you and Travis make hay. It has been 55 years since I worked on hay with small bales and hand sacking on trailers! You make it look easy. You make more hay in 4 hours than we did in 10 days. Innovation in equipment has sure cut back on the manual end. Love the videos. Stay safe and godspeed.

  • @jamesjohnson5640
    @jamesjohnson5640 2 роки тому +1

    Ryan, have you and Travis talked about getting bale 2 or 3 bale accumlators for the back of you balers. That way when you drop a bale you can keep them in a line or one general area. Not a JD dealer but I've seen them in use on JD balers and was impressed with on how you can keep them all in one localized area of the field or waterway. Saves pick up time, saves fuel, and keeps traffic on the field localized to a few areas.
    Having been the kid picking up bales years ago with a just a loader up front and bale fork on the back of a 4320. The 1/4 sect of grass we baled took a couple of days to get back. And driving on hay ground always seemed to stunt it in areas.
    Just a thought.
    Great video, truly enjoy watching you and your brothers videos. Bring back good memories.

    Wow that green is really pretty. We don't have any in southern Oklahoma right now. We are baling pasture blue stem. Which is super dry and very much of a fire hazard. Burnt out 2 year old baler last month. Burnt all we had cut in the morning right before dinner last week. May go back to sickle mowers which won't be as likely to cause fires when you hit a rock .
