Combining wheat
Emptying trucks
Border View Farms is a mid sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. We raise corn, soybeans, and wheat on a little over 3,000 acres.
My name is Nathan. I run this channel and farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. I get questions about how and why we do things on the farm frequently, even from my own family members, so to help explain things it's easier to just show you. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture in general as well as dispel some of the common misconceptions.
I hope you enjoy my content and please ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can.
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos.
You can reach me through messages on Facebook or Instagram @borderviewfarms or by email bakernth@gmail.com. Please don't call my parents house!
I agree that the combine is doing well pulling that downed wheat into the head but since you are not going to toot your own chain I am going to toot it for you that also has a lot to do with the operator of the combine. You sit are an operator of machinery not just a driver. By the way I love your channel. I get a tickle when you get giddy about your crops. Keep up the great work.
Flabbergasted by some of the wheat yields I see on here. We’re doing the ancient grain varieties. Very leggy, lodgy, the combine won’t process the hulls, requires additional processing back at the farm.
Their are several saving graces. One, they yield the same whether you dual purpose (graze in the late fall) or not. You can go in after about 5 over night freezes and as deep as you can get it, interplant early maturing pulses and it picks up the yield 10 a whopping 40 lol) instead of hurting yields. You have further processing to do anyways, so getting everything sorted isn’t that much extra work, and you’ll get some micro yield marketable pulse crops, 10-20 bushel as an added bonus, and their is plenty of time to plant an array of edible bean crops.
Yep, I’m that guy, the village weirdo. But is ungodly profitable. We’ve gone from 300 to 3000 acres that are almost paid off in 20 years, and the 1st 5 was a lot of hard lessons. We’ve got ink on paper to buy out some ground we custom farm. That gives me a little time to rest once I toss the keys to my kids and take the big dirt nap.
Your videos are so well done, I’m in awe. Thanks for all your efforts.
So satisfying watching that wheat feed into the combine!
It's is a very good feeling to be putting up good crops. Is a good stress relief.
I think it was 1981 we replanted about 400 plus acres over the 4th they did fairly good, around 35 ish
Got good moisture to plant in
And tearing it up is the way to go
Have a good 4th harvesting !!
Happy 4th of July, to you and your family 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep the videos coming
Nice wheat yields! Glad to see you happy and fired up about harvest . Good yields definitely help boost the mood along with decent prices and it makes farming less stressful. We are having great yields on our wheat as well . We dont bale our straw we leave it as a mulch but we cut the wheat slightly lower than what you do and we have upgraded straw choppers on our gleaners . We also plant our beans with a horsch maestro split row planter that can plant 30 and 15 inch rows on corn and soybeans. Take care and keep up the good work!
Wheat is looking real good for ya Nathan. We're averaging after 400 acres 98 bushels at 13.3 %. Have a good day bud.👍😁
Happy Fourth of July, thank you for taking the time to show all of your adventures in farming. It would be so much easier on you to not swing the camera and show all your mistakes. Having farmed for most of my life,I understand the little mistakes. Again thank you.
That's a really nice grain cart.
I was looking forward to you notilling in those beans 😅
Finally! The airseeder! Niceee
Happy for your yields & enthusiasm. Sadly though a neighbor state farmer has posted a video wherein an entire corn field has been destroyed by hail with wind. The fickle finger of fate smiles upon some & applies a backhand to others. Crop insurance❓ No, the hail coverage cost per acre is prohibitive, so the loss is truly a loss.😢
I’m surprised the straw is dry enough to bale and not heat up. Great looking wheat!
Always treat your beans! Phytothora, aphids and bean leaf beetles are yield robbers.
Good morning...
Around here they bale them in big round bales for mushroom bedding mostly
Do you cover the pit in winter,❓ how does the pit drain surface water❓ is cleaning the pit a big chore❓ there was a video addressing the pit, forgot specifics🙊👀
Yes we cover it. We sit on a high spot and we're able to use the field tile to drain it naturally. Its not fun to clean, Phil usually takes care of it.
Nice video sir👍🏻
If we even get 10% of your yield, on HRSW it’ll be lucky this year, in central ND.
La bestia
it flashed in my mind... ''disk in moneing, morning dew gets on stubble, gets into ground, makes better babyseedsgrow'' sooo ummmm ;) I hope you get ALL YOUR HARVEST out of the field before ''WEATHER'' interrutpus!!!
EVERY ONE :) GOOD HARVEST TO EVERYONE :)
...even if you only harvest'n ''good times'' ;) ;) nudge nudge ;) LOL
I farm in Tennessee our wheat was the best I have ever cut. We average 92 but out in the middle it was not uncommon to see 120 up to 150.
Happy 4th! What is a typical wheat yield range for your farms?
Maybe you need to switch to Massey Ferguson or even Case tractors and have less issues.
Happy 4th
How much more fertilizer do you have to put on when you take Straw off?
How much per lb do you sell straw for ??
You have to replace the fertility that leaves with the straw
John Deere does A great job
Nice job Sir do you make any money on the straw just curious have a good fourth of July
Over here in the UK it definitely has a value for animal bedding and if treated with an aqueous ammonia solution once stacked and with a simple seal cover has a feed value of about average hay. An increasingly important market for it is for fuel for local power stations.
Increasingly though farmers want to retain it on the fields where it is grown for
a. additional organic matter for the soil and
b. it has, once broken down in the soil, phosphate and potash values for plant nutrient levels.
Yes we sell the straw to the guy that bales it.
I am a South African farming in Angola Shelbourne Stripper Headers are monsters in wheat,the increase the harvester capacity easily by 30% as less material need to go through the machine and allow earlier harvesting as well.They also pick up dowmed wheat very effectively.
I've only ever seen 1 of those around here. More popular out west but I can certainly see the advantage.
Do you sell the straw
Yes
dont think you need fifty gallon of resevoir oil in that hoist....seeems like alot.....
chez nous pour pas avoir de blé versé on pulvérise un raccourcisseur dot le nom est MEDAX ou PRODAX de BASF en schwitzerland
Nice yield on that wheat field!
As I was watching the beans go into the air seeder, I was wondering why they weren't backing up... And then you went "oh crap" and yep, gears confirmed: clean out doors!
Happy Fourth!
✌️🇧🇷🇧🇷👍
Happy 4th
