I like this video, it’s great to see America produce products. In my humble opinion farmers are as important as doctors, without them we would have a hard time surviving.
Farming has sure changed from when I was first involved in it. Picking on ear with a 2 row New Idea, on a very good day we could set up and fill 2 triple cribs. Maybe 1200 bu in the two cribs. This combine could knock that out in half an hour. Great vid Mike, no goofy music.
My mother was raised on a farm not too far from there in Oshawa township right off county road 13 couple miles from Rt 99. It was in the family all the way back to the great Sioux uprising in 1862
Somehow, this video keeps sending people to my video of a Gleaner C2. Thanks for the suggested views! The algorithm works in strange ways. Great videos! Im happy to be your newest subscriber.
Kraikey Mike! and they're STILL harvesting at this time of year.... Great footage from Drone - a good depth of field and sharp enough - even almost looks likeit was just a SIM game I was watching. What height do you go to for those clips - especially of the Farmstead? and is that ICE on the cutterhead - from the crop or overnight frost? Whatever did you do all those years ago before Cabs n Heaters n Aircon ....
When you talk to the farmers throughout the Midwest what are you hearing from them about yields? Above, average or below. We farm North of Minneapolis Mn and are off yield targets by 15%.
Mr. Less. I like the videos you put out too watch. I'm not a farmer I'm a retired police officer. I do have two hundred acres, one hundred in woods and one hundred in field. I lease my field out to a farmer for hay farming and he has been doing a great job. I have a question, in your opinion on average what is the best type of grain dryers and why? I know there are different reasons for different farmers but as a general point what may be the best? Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
Hello Brian. Surprised you didn't get any response. We do 1000ac of corn and really like GSI corn dryers. Our last one we replaced was still as shiny as the day we bought it(15 yrs old). They have very good galvanizing. The dryer in this video is losing its galvanized coating and rusting. Although we wash ours once, every week we dry, while it is running corn thru. Natural gas is best if you can get it.
They're too quick...I had a very terrible outcome from running into a giant porcupine once. First one I have ever seen on my farm. They do not get into the combine.
Smooth operation. Good footage. That is one of or the biggest grain cart I have seen in this fall's harvest videos. Nice looking farm ground but I am most likely biased since I grew up and farmed in this area.
Hey Mike Great Video... Checked out Ag Storms website and UA-cam videos, and thats a pretty cool invention, plus the other stuff they have too... The Grain System seen here in this video looks Awesome... Do you know what the storage capacity this Farms Grain operation has... Keep up the Good Work with your videos... Always look forward to when New Videos come out... Have a Great Weekend... Thanx for sharing...
Combine has 400bu tank...12 row at 4.5 mph will actually unload 500bu by the time you're finished...depending on the crop, and if you have the unload restrictions in the grain tank. We have ours restricted...keeps the auger from needing a rebuild in the 32% moisture corn.
It's just so the auger is available at all times, and it saves you wear and tear on the hydraulics that bring the auger in and out. For some people it's just their own preference if they want to or not. We always have ours out when we can.
I would agree that the safest place for the augur would be tucked in. However with 2nd safest place would be in extended position as it gets clamped down. The wear/tear and flexing on hinges, etc. of shifting the augur in and out every 6 minutes (4,000bph/400b grain tank) while moving over a rough corn ground will likely cause more long term damage... unless the grain cart driver is really inept, imo.
@@harrythehermit3685 The cart I drive just finished its 10th season moving most of the 750,000 bushels the farm I work at produces. It gets folded every time I leave the truck and it doesn't show any sign of wear at the fold points.
@@deancook6832 So regardless of the reasons other cart drivers might have for leaving the auger out, you feel qualified to deem them as being stupid. Good for you!
@@harrythehermit3685 yes they are stupid and there is a reason the the manufacturer's tell you to put them back! You're worried about wear and tear on the hinges which is nothing compared to what happens when you hit Smack That auger on a telephone pole or on the cart auger! If you're running an old Antiquated 1982 combine out in the middle of nowhere all by your lonesome that's one thing but if you're driving a brand new S780 that's just stupid!
It really isn't a burden you see because soil is full of living things and those have to be fed ! The best way to do that is by growing a crop ! So next time if you don't know what your talking about , maybe don't comment at all !
Wonder what pigs, chickens, and cattle all eat? If there wasn’t abundant production of corn and soybeans the US would be hungry in months. Sending animals out to eat grass and dirt isn’t a recipe for efficiency or productivity
Jim only a small percentage of yellow two corn is used for ethonal production. I'm not sure what you feel is such a "burden?" Humans have used mother Earth for food production since the beginning of human exsietance. I would strongly suggest you put your internet away for awhile and actually go visit one of these evil Earth burdeners.
Kevin Meyer Today's corn crop is mainly used for biofuels (roughly 40 percent of U.S. corn is used for ethanol) and as animal feed (roughly 36 percent of U.S. corn, plus distillers grains left over from ethanol production, is fed to cattle, pigs and chickens)

Good footage. Nice operation. I was in your neighborhood Monday at Koenig’s Greenville. Looked like most crops off and saw some tileing being done.

Glad I was able to get to see this video. Spectacular video coverage.
Wow that is one nice setup, I love the grain bin setup but I am somewhat surprised they don’t have another combine with that size grain handling setup
You can always tell when its an old Deere guy by leaving that auger out. 😉
Another awesome video. Man I would love to see the inside of that shop building on this farm.
Mike, admit it, you just stopped for some candy! Then you decided to take some footage. The candy is damn good!
Ole definitely makes some of the best candy known to mankind.
@@farmhandmike Yes he does. Enjoy your videos!

That combine sure cute the stalks way down nice stream sir

That is one chonker of a grain cart they have there.
Enjoyed the video, looked cold out there. Thanks Mike
Would like to see some in cab footage of the combines and choppers. great videos
That a rock box on the front of the 8370
Ag storm power box. Mini crane on them for the big ones.
all! Combines! In! Action'!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Mike. Your drone videos are outstanding. What drone are you using? Thank you for the work you are doing.
Great footage!

Another great video but why leave the auger out all the time seems hard on it
That Grain setup!! Jealous!!!!!! Wow!!!

Awesome video! I learned a lot! Keep it up
At the 3.26 mark are those chicken/turkey or hog barns. That's quite an operation
Either or but 90% turkey or chicken
So got a question? Saw bunch of rabbits run out from the corn, do they get grabbed by the head and processed? Thanks great vid
They're too quick...I had a very terrible outcome from running into a giant porcupine once. First one I have ever seen on my farm. They do not get into the combine.

We were 153 wet in Manitoba. Had frost, drought and flood this year.
always great footage
At 2:10 and 2:18 combine flushes out two bunny rabbits 🐇
why are they running with the unloading auger out?
2:12 poor rabbit.
Good drone work!
Mike, can we have close shots of the actual corn stalks please, they look incredibly dry?
ף
Nice vid mike 👍🌽
what's mounted ahead of cart tractor ?
Is that a rock picker up front?

Thanx for sharing...
Hey there mike if these combines can empty 3.2 bushels a second how much is the combine filling its own tank as he's harvesting .
Combine has 400bu tank...12 row at 4.5 mph will actually unload 500bu by the time you're finished...depending on the crop, and if you have the unload restrictions in the grain tank. We have ours restricted...keeps the auger from needing a rebuild in the 32% moisture corn.
I live about 20 miles from Nicollet
That was ice-cold harvesting!👍🏻
I need a rockbox!
Is this just a grain farm or do they also have livestock???
Just crops
Thanks
I saw a rabbit jump out of the corn
Why is he working with the auger always open?
I mean the combine...
It's just so the auger is available at all times, and it saves you wear and tear on the hydraulics that bring the auger in and out. For some people it's just their own preference if they want to or not. We always have ours out when we can.
Hope Jim isn’t driving that grain cart he’ll get her stuck lol
Put the unloading auger away why drive with it open

Driving around with the auger out is just stupid! Tuck that damn thing back in before you smoke it on the grain cart!

The wear/tear and flexing on hinges, etc. of shifting the augur in and out every 6 minutes (4,000bph/400b grain tank) while moving over a rough corn ground will likely cause more long term damage... unless the grain cart driver is really inept, imo.
