    Great to see the combines rolling. Drone shots were excellent. Thanks for the video.

    I liked the fun fact about why you swath the oats and not just harvest them directly. You do a great job with your videos. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for your video for us UA-cam geekers and that looks like a good oats crop.
    Why not dump into the semi trailers on the go instead of running back and forth with a tractor and cart-?
    Less augering of the grain would mean less fines in the grain as well as other advantages.

      We often fight mud and semi trailers don't travel in the the field like tractor and cart.

    Always good to see new Gleaner combines hit the field for the first time. Looking forward to next year when you will have the T81 models.

      Oh dear, I would love that too happen but we are going to need the crops to do a lot better or an improvement in markets. These machines should do for a while.

      ​@John-nc4bl fields are often soft making it tough on trucks. To drive a semi we need special licenses to drive where as tractor and cart if you are willing you can learn. We also use a scale on cart to weigh every bushel that leaves the field

    We ordered oat straw last year from someone last year. It had so many oats in it that our cattle pens look planted...by mistake I used some in the chicken barn for bedding and it sprouted...in February growing green grass in the barn.

      That can happen when combining in tough conditions, straw isn't dry enough... oats combines the best when hot and sunny

      Yep, we will bale wheat straw for bedding. Makes for better bedding then oats straw.

    Great video. Interesting to see you spreading oat straw.. do you use oat straw for livestock or Wheat straw?

    • @TwinElmFarms
      @TwinElmFarms  5 місяців тому +3

      We use oats straw for roughage, has some feed value in the straw. Wheat straw for bedding, it absorbes the moisture better. We have lots of oats from the last 2 years.

      @TwinElmFarms  5 місяців тому

      We prefer wheat straw for bedding. Oats straw has like an oily film on it, and we find it doesn't soak up the moisture as well. Neighbor likes oats straw cause it lasts longer.
