Let’s Shoot Gas!

- Опубліковано 17 чер 2022
- A little late (a lot late) due to just being super busy this spring and also being under the weather a lot here lately, but better late than never, am I right?? The rest of the spring videos will be out asap.
Before we start planting, we have to make sure everything’s ready to give us the best crop year Mother Nature will allow. In this case it means putting on anhydrous ammonia to provide the much needed nitrogen for growing corn.

I was a First Responder and in our training we learned that one gallon of anhydrous ammonia will make 55 gallons of vapor. Cold storage facilities usually have the most liquid ammonia on site. If there is ever a leak, go upwind!!!!
You also can’t fill a tank past 85% cause if it expands it’ll reach the point of expansion through the pop off. The pop offs have to be changed every 5 years to keep in spec. Many years ago in the Terra International days a plant somewhere had a tank go past capacity due to a fault pop off and the welds of the one end shell failed and it ended up over a mile away.
Shooting gas is much more productive than passing it.... More consistent than granular.
It is a terrible year for so many U.S. farmers. Larson Farms, Millennial Farmer, Kate's Ag, Laura Farms... I like to eat, so I am cheering for you all. Snuggling up to a dog that rolled in something dead. LOL Might be bath time for you two...
Don't know about the others but Larson Farms cannot buy a break this year. Just had more damage from high winds, even tipped the cultivator back onto it's heels. Good luck to all farms involved.
Early mornings, late nights. It's all worth it when you come home to your pup and get slurped silly.
Erin. You are the real deal. A real cool dude. We, your public, don't appreciate the hours and work it takes to produce our food. Please keep up the good work.
Some folks just find fault
Lol, Anhydrous.. Here in Southern MO the tweekers are well known to steal it for part of their Methamphetamine production..
Local farmers put locks, cameras, etc.., on their Anhydrous tanks in hope of curtailing the theft rate..
Erin you lady are one awesome person and some gents love a woman that isn't afraid of getting thuier face dirty and get out side and work in the soil! Hope you all get all the crops in the ground! Good luck
Good luck getting your anhydrous on Holbert Farms
Growing up in the mid 1950s as a son of a farmer and living around farms in northern Indiana, there frequently were anhydrous ammonia leaks, and the sheriff would have to shut down entire square miles of roads until it dissipated. I remember being caught in some of those ammonia clouds and hardly being able to breathe. It can be dangerous. I can see the love on your dog's face that she has for you. She's so happy you are home.
Reading through some comments and noticed you said northern indiana. I grew up in Newton county which is farm country in NW Indiana. Miss that place. I’m now down fairly close to where Erins family farms. I enjoy her videos because the cast reminds me of the good folks I grew up around.
@@hoosierhillbilly2295 Hard work pays the bills and doesn't leave any time left over for all the various perversions and dependencies that much of society has such fatal attractions to.
There’s a whole lotta people who have no idea how hard it is to farm, how hard the farmers work + sacrifice personal time and things. Some people think food just magically appears in grocery stores😂
God Bless y’all & Thank you 🙏
Hi Erin i really love your videos they remind me of my home in Kansas and i like your music in the back ground keep the great videos coming and ty.
Glad to see from the 30 or so comments I looked at, that no one is being stupid. Stay at girl!! You and your family seem like tough people.
So tough times don’t last but tough people do!!
Erin, tell your Dad, Jeff and the whole gang "thank you" for all you guys do! God bless you and keep you all safe!
Hi Erin! You're looking well, I hope everyone there's doing well too.
It looked like you all got a pretty good bit of work done. With the rain giving you a bit of a break you can stock up fixing breakfasts and lunches. Well .... rest up a bit and be ready to get in some Crunch Time..... Have a good day!
Fun thing to do with anhydrous is shrinking dollar bills, or anything else that will dehydrate for that matter. A refrigeration tech buddy used to keep a bunch of bills that were about the size of monopoly money to give out.
Hey Erin. Always a pleasure to see your videos. Well the long days have started. Wish y’all the best of luck this planting season. Something always breaks down seems like, goes along with the Territory. Just keep your chin up. Things always seem to work out. Get your snacks and drinks stocked up. We all want to see you in a good mood and smiling. Try to get as much rest as you can and keep safe. Looking forward to more videos.
Thanks for sharing.
Have been reading the comments about farmers. Here in Ontario Canada, farmers are having the same difficulties. Fortunately for Futures, many crop growers can go long.
After a long hard day that hot bath will feel great at the end of your day 🍷
Thanks for taking the time and effort to take us along for the ride.
Vaporized nitrogen is a better explanation of it instead of gas. I handle thousands on tons of this and is as safe as it is as you treat it. With respect. Pulled and filled hundreds and hundreds of those tanks you are pulling. Spring is long hours for everyone involved with farming. Thanks Erin.
Good to see you for another season.👍
THANK YOU ERIN... ALWAYS PROUD OF Y'ALL
Glad y’all are in the fields! Love the videos!
Thanks for all the yard work that you guys do, day in and day out
Great to see you again. Love the videos keep them coming!!! Good luck with this year's crop
Your days are always interesting to watch
Another great video! Keep up the great work!
Stay safe!
Keep Smilin!!
Amazing and busy time on the farm, thanks for the video
God bless you and your family.
Hi Erin. It's gonna be difficult this year to make a buck, with fuel & fertilizer costs skyrocketing.. And equipment parts too.. Wishing you all the best @ Holbert farms... Stay safe out there..
Glad to see y’all are getting in the fields can’t wait to see the planter going god bless y’all and be safe
Love the video you got of the lightning in the sky!!!! awesome!!!
No one can be expected to listen without snacks... Thanks for continuing to share Erin. Good to see progress even with the equipment issues. Looking forward to updates.
Dear Erin,
Thank you for 23+ minutes of sanity and girl on her feet grounded to Mother Earth.
Can't deny the peace you provide through your kitchen videos though. Like sitting at the table of a cherished relative after a thousand mile ride. Carry on!
Wishing y'all the best . God bless you and your family and thank you and all our farm family's for all your hard work 🙏💗
"This stuff can kill you!" Gets the perfect youtube shot of the tractor drive by as the fumes waft across the camera. Stay safe out there!
You sure are a hard worker and very loyal to the farm. Be safe!
Great video Erin
Hang in there Erin and family y’all will get crops in👍🏻God Bless🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
wow thats a nice looking feilds in the great out doors so far thou and good day.
Great video Erin, I learnt a lot from this episode. Thank you. (From Hampshire, England)
Welcome back Erin, great to see you, happy snacks help keep the wheels turning, I finally understand the Anhydrous process from the bulk tank to the field.
Love to see your new videos. Thank you very much. We farm NE from y’all
Erin, enjoyed seeing you again and your video. Always a good day when you post, thanks for sharing. You're right that anhydrous is dangerous, have some kinfolk that had the hose burst and got him across the eyes and blinded him. You all be careful out there and God bless you with a great farming year! 🙏💖
Good to see you and your family Erin! I fear this is going to be a very hard year with prices being so high. But, as we farmers always do, we will overcome. Look forward to following along with you on this years journey. God bless.
beautiful farmer
Thanks for the video.. and to see you back in the fields. You just say that? Balls to the wall? Lol... just to cool. Lol
God Bless you and your family Erin, and all farmers.
Bright eyed and bushy tailed. My favorite farm girl !
Seeing you post made my day. Be safe with the gas that stuff can be dangerous.
Thanks for sharing stay safe messing with that you already know how quickly things go wrong god bless everyone
Prayers Always night night..!
Favorite farm girl for sure! The others are in your JD dust!!!
Great job on the video Erin, your absolutely right 👍 anhydrous ammonia is very dangerous. The price doubled from last fall to
1,520 a ton here at home, and everywhere else. I hope you get your shop kitchen filled up with all your favorite snacks, and drinks. Thanks for sharing another awesome video
with all of us Erin.
Take care of yourself Erin, and stay safe . And
God bless you Erin, and your family.
I know I’m 3months behind but just find your videos just wanted to say thanks for showing what farmers go though every day ,long hour and hard work with no fake drama just you being you ,we had a ruff year down here in south Texas had to sell a few head of cattle we ran out of feed and no rain all summer we’re doing better now
It’s good to see you and your family and please be careful this year made y’all make a lot of crops and money
You have some long days. Good that seeding is soon starting
Also from Indiana. Not so fun story. At 13 me and the neighbor kid was riding with the farmer in a old Cab International spraying in the gas. The side and back windows was open. The hose blew off or broke and was blowing directly in the cab, the farmer yells don't breath get out when I stop. Man my lungs and eyes were burning. Couldn't hardly breathe. Needless to say we were no longer allowed to ride with the farmer. Had to go through the gas chamber when I joined the military. Didn't affect me one bit other than my eyes watered. The Instructors thought I was holding my breath. I said you obviously have never inhaled anhydrase ammonia. Then had to explain after my comment. That stuff is nasty!
Take it from me, that stuff is nasty. I was young and dumb and it almost killed me, I always wear my safety gear and stand upwind when I'm changing tanks
Yet we use it as a fertilizer….
Good day!
I so appreciate all farmers, farm families and agriculture workers. To often I think we take them for granted. Since I have to eat to live, I remain grateful…
Sweet van. 👍
Great video. Hope you get your tractors repaired. I've been battling the gremlins lately myself.
Hello young Lady! That stuff is nasty. Please be careful around that process. God bless you and your family as we try to get through these times. Thank you for the video.
I have applied at lot of NH3 in my life like many of you. Even though it has been years ago, it still scares the hell out of me. :)
Thank you.
Another great informational video
Please keep bringing great video's and enjoy life to the fullest and enjoy what you love doing
Be safe and healthy
The weather can really screw up Farming Plans to be sure....BUT....as usual you all find a way to get anything done and that's staying positive! Happy Father's Day to your Dad Erin....AND....Same to All the Dad Fans in here@! Cheers From Ohio
Good seeing you again, you did seem to get quite a bit done, and you did look pretty exhausted, that's definitely this time of the year, hope things go well for you all this year, gonna be a tough one, thanks for sharing Erin
I hate running smoke and messing with all those tanks. I switched to 28 years ago. It’s a lot safer! I would never go back to anhydrous.
Very good content thank you.
Very good video good to see you again
Your honesty about not listening to your Dad is refreshing. Snacks are very important. Happy Father's Day to Erin's Dad!
Good morning Erin , good to see a video from you. Was not sure what the weather has been like in your part of the country but it looks like you've been fighting some mud. We are in Western Pennsylvania have had our corn in the ground for a month now or oats for about 8 weeks. Crops overall are doing well we are two-thirds of the way through with our first cutting of hay . Had a fair amount of moisture through planting and up to the first couple weeks of haymaking, now we're having moist forecast but not much rain. We apply our nitrogen and granular form 46 0 0 and then cultivated in hoping to start that either tomorrow evening or Tuesday morning and get it in ahead of some supposed rain that is heading our way. Glad to see you guys are progressing in the fields stay safe LOL try not to break anything!
You can tell I maintain a fertilizer facility that has anhydrous ammonia. Because I look at the both anhydrous tanks in the field and I notice her Nutrien facility has them incorrectly labeled as per DOT or PUCO laws unless it’s an Ohio only thing, but there has to be a 3” space around the 1005 non flammable gas placard, and it sure looks like the anhydrous Ammon stickers are a lot closer than 3 inches.
Great post👍
I've done that we used to pull three and four anhydrous tanks at a time. It makes for some long days.
LOL, "Balls to the Wall" Day. Really?? That is so funny. Means something different here in Aus.
You still go beautiful girl because you can do anything you set your mind too. I still believe in you
Excellent video really enjoyed watching your video keep up the great work looking forward to seeing your next video soon thanks again and hope you have a great day
ERIN You make that look to easy hooking up those trailers. NICE VIDEO
I wasn't really listening because I was thinking about snacks 🤣🤣🤣
Chica muy trabajadora..👍...Saludos desde Uruguay.
Hi Erin
look awesome
super video😊
Love the video keep up the hard work
I used to help my uncle raise tobacco. We used to gas the beds where we would seed to raise the plants that we would later transplant into the field
Love watching your videos, especially the cooking ones. Like you I'm also lactose intolerant but you can enjoy milk products and not suffer. I take Lactaid pills before consuming milk products. It contains the enzymes our bodies lost to digest the sugar in milk so it's totally safe. I'd love to hear in one of your videos if you ever try it. Great channel. Keep the videos coming. 👍
....i dont know why i keep coming to this channel.....am I falling in love???.🤔
For being sand- blasted you're still a very good looking lady. Sure don't want to get freeze dried from that gas. I know all about that stuff.
grts from the netherlands
Anhydrous is 100 + degrees below zero and it attaches to moist tissues and freeze dries what ever is exposed; Very easy to handle and all safety gear one will have no problem.
I thought this might have involved eating beans ,when I first saw the title. ..🤭🤭🤭🤔🤔🤨. Great Video!!!
Hello Erin my you farmer work so hard we that you and all farmers for garneted how is the flagging coming along i have been doing the same thing but with home made flags take care and stay safe 👍👍👍
Good night!
Always wondered where your farm was located and then you mentioned the Beef House. I used to live between Covington and West Lebanon. Went to school at Seeger High School. I loved the Beef House. I hear it is not the same as it was 40 years ago. However, I will be in Indy in about 3 months and want to try and drive over and eat there again. Good Luck with your farming. I always enjoy your video’s.
Howdy Erin.
Passing gas😂
NW MO older folks say knifin’ in gas, or putin’ on gas. Ain’t nobody shootin’ gas round here :)
Lol ikr
Nice vid
More cooking Erin, please.
