Another fantatstic one, Andy ! That drone footage paired with the sunset, absolute perfectiion. You guys are on fire with these videos ! What's been your favorite part to capture so far ? Keep 'em coming and stay safe out there.
Fantastic editing, commentary, and drone footage. I live in a big city now but loved "helping" on my Uncle and Poppa's farm in Nebraska growing up. Worked as a farmhand after my Senior year in high school as well. Im always thankful that I've experienced the city and country life (for at least a decade each) and I can tell ya, both are what make this country amazing! Congrats on the monster beans, can't wait to see how the corn did.
Great Video use to farm back in the 60's through the 90's. Dad sold the farm and I went into Trucking. I love the video's they bring me back Home! Keep them coming!
As a guy who has held a sales desk job of the last 25 years, I am fascinated buy what you all have to deal with day in and day out. Thanks for sharing!
I would like to share with you something that happened at our farm. I’m sharing with you because you reach out to a lot of growers with your channel. I work for a farm in southwestern Ontario. We have a commercial elevator. We had a local grower show up at our elevator with crusher beans in a seed wagon. Clearly we turned him away, but growers need to be informed about the importance of food quality and safety. I believe you have the platform to educate and inform about the importance of what we do. And the knowledge of how we can be more successful. Thanks for your channel. You provide solid info on how farmers make it happen.
Thanks for the comment, Andy. I feel as though some farmers try to take advantage of the good people around them. There are very few like this, but, unfortunately, they do exist.
Thank you for all your hard work and the many hours that harvesting takes. My first time seeing this type of operation and it amazes me. I can’t believe the equipment you are running. You take great care of it and it shows. Best wishes on a safe and successful harvest. And the drone was amazing.
Just wanted to let you know you do an outstanding job narrating your videos. I’m a farmer/rancher from Central Oklahoma and on most year we are starting to place our stocker cattle on our wheat pasture. This year we have been in a severe drought and can’t seem to buy a beneficial rain. We have only planted 20% of the acres of wheat we have and the fields we’ve planted will most likely need replanted. We usually run anywhere from 1,200 to 1,500 head of cattle on our winter wheat, which we usually graze off instead of harvesting a crop. In the the case we decide to harvest, the cattle need to be pulled off wheat pasture by the second week of March. We typically purchase pre-conditioned (weaned) cattle weighing on average 450-500lbs and we like to market them when they are weighing 750-825lbs. It looks as if it’s going to be a long winter without any cattle and still trying to get wheat planted. All the Old Timers say we can plant as late as Christmas, but no later.
That's a huge herd of cattle to maintain...much respect to you all! I know that the dry weather has been an issue for the past year, and it continuous to cause major problems. I hope that you may be blessed with the rains that you need. If not for your crops, at least for your sanity!
Harvest is rolling good, looks like very nice yields I'm in southeast Iowa and our yields are all over the place due to very spotty rain showers. Hope your harvest continues to be bountiful and stay safe to your whole family. Keep the great content rolling.
Now now Andy you be nice about your sister's trailer parking skills. LOL LOL Does anyone in your family ever watch your UA-cam videos? Once again, your drone shots/editing/music are just fantastic. Thanks for putting out all the videos.
Not sure if you saw or heard about this but my family recently had a gleaner R62 catch fire and burn near Mattoon luckily nobody got hurt. Glad to see everyone there is safe and you guys aren’t having too many problems.
Yes, I was the only one in the combine and I got out just fine then the fire department was called and our awesome neighbors came over and helped us disc around it to keep it from spreading throughout the field.
If you’re talking about the gleaner that burned on Sunday afternoon along Lake Rd, we were picking corn just 2 miles to your north. Dad and I actually stopped the combine to come by and see if you guys need any tillage equipment or extra help. We farm the 75 acre corn field catty-corner to the northeast of that farm. That combine sure flamed up fast. It was one heck of a smoke! I’m glad to hear that no one got hurt!
@@aTrippyFarmer that’s one of the things I love about farmers, every time something like this or big storms with a lot of damage, the farming neighbors drop everything & come help. That’s how I was raised. Community takes care of each other
Jeff has my sympathy getting a truck hung up on dry ground. I've done that more times than anyone should be allowed to. Good luck with the rest of harvest!
Not a farmer, but wouldn’t stalk devastators work the same way with beans? All the farmers I watch love them bc they’re under the header, save the tires & break the material down quickly. Ivers Farm had some good vids/reviews on them.
Nice Drone Shots Andy.i live a ways south of u guys down in Highland,Illinois and I have a good friend that farms around 1500 acres south west of Shelbyville.We use to hunt Pheasants when we were younger and I was wondering how the Birds are doing in central,Illinois.Hopefully alive and well.Keep up the good work,neat vids..
great video thanks for sharing. congratulations on passing 30 thousand subscribers. you definitely deserve it. I hope to be there one day. keep up the good work.
So who's operating the drone while you operate the grain cart? The drone footage appears professionally produced- awesome! So good, JD's marketing and advertising department should use it.
I fly the drone by hand. This newer drone doesn’t have very good auto-tracking, so I have to really man the controller to get good shots. I’ve always had a knack for quality drone work!
Well I'm sure you've already done this and probably already changed your sensor on the 670. But always be sure to clean ever square inch of ur flappy thingy coming up the clean grain augar. You know how a little bit hung up in there or on a hinge can travel a long way. Especially since it's not actually weighing every bean perse. But im really curious to see how much more precise the new 700 series are with the weights with the load cells installed inside the hoppers. But you'll be happy to know that I took a few months off from my job digging to work for a farmer in north Dakota. So I have a nice s790 with a 745fd waiting on me. But I guess they have 3 x9 1100! And that's all we are going to run in corn. So I'm super excited to see what the hype is for a $1,000,000 combine is all about!
I remember back in the 90's one fall when I was helping my great uncle and cousin, quitting time always came soon after my cousin would choke the feederhouse up. 🤷♂️ Bout the same time every night. Rather aggravating though because combines were not that easy to unplug back then. If he'd just stopped cutting about 30 minutes sooner every night all would have been well. 😁
Great story. Reversible feeder houses have made unplugging the front pretty easy, but you are still in trouble if you slug the rotor! Thanks for watching 😎
Trippy, I’ll bet you wish you farmed all of those fields in the first drone shot. That would be a lot of land and you would be a very busy farmer. Good vid, keep it between the rows!🌽🌽🚜
I couldn’t agree more that farmers are definitely the backbone of America. Yet, I feel like many do not appreciate them the way they should and think that they’re out poisoning the earth when all they’re doing is trying to make more food, with the season they have as demand grows and grows with the worlds population. Farming is a tricky business, and I for one appreciate every single one of them, including yourselves. And those shots around 27 mins were absolutely stunning and I’m sure the camera just did not even do it justice!
I am not going to say that we cannot improve our practices across the corn belt. However, I do not know a single farmer that has ill intent with their actions. They are all mostly good people trying to make an honest living off of the land!
Is there a reason for cutting the soy beans at a slight angle in relationship to the rows they were planted? Or is it because not every field is perfectly squared?
The soybeans seem to feed into the drapers better at a slight angle, and it also spreads the wear evenly across the cutterbar. You can definitely cut straight with the rows if you'd like.
Yes, Katie’s combine stinks, but it could be worse, the skunk could’ve gotten caught in the rock trap. Btw, what’s your ultimate goal of bushels per acre for beans & corn? 100 & 300? Or are they way too high?
I think you are pretty close on the yields we are wanting to reach. The best we have every averaged on a single field was 93 in soybeans and 265-270ish in corn. We are trying to figure out how to push the top-end yields, but mother nature seems to always hold the upperhand.
@@aTrippyFarmer yes, I’ve learned a lot about that from watching farmtubers. Soy beans flex so much just in 1 day, trying to hit just at 13% seems almost impossible. Watching such a scenario now-early freeze took too wet beans to 8% overnight.6thgenfarmer. His dad went thru the math on moisture & machine loss. Huge difference.
nice, you are an absolute millionaire if you own fields in illinois... if you want to start in illinois as a farmer, its impossible. you have to be rich to get fields

I think it is neat to capture all of my family doing their various jobs. Many years from now, I hope that we can look back fondly on these days.
