How Farms Work is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

From Brazil, The world does not live without agriculture, it is the basis of everything, God bless the United States
From the U.S Thanks !
With all the abandonment of american farms lately, it's encouraging to see a farm expanding! Bless you!
Dad is the man! He can do anything.
Good 👍
Thank you Ryan for a well done video and commentary. You are a good educator. Look forward to rest of the build.
Looking forward to seeing the finished bin.. Thanks for sharing Ryan..
This is soothing to watch
Wow, I know you put an extraordinary amount of time into these videos from start to finish, but I sure do appreciate it. With the informative commentary, and the super quality camera work, watching these videos is such a pleasure!
TJ Bearing thanks TJ!

My favorite part is the Oshkosh cement truck! I more then likely painted it! Nice to see something I helped build here in Wisconsin help you!
Looking fwd to the construction steps. Grain leg and more bins in the future years and $ available. Build as much as possible own your own, yes!
I couldn't wait to see how bins were set up. I do know now that bins like this make good homes. Don't want to pour salt into an open wound, but got 3 inches of rain yesterday in a 45 minute span. Thank you thunderstorm. Have a nice day.
I have recently found your channel and have been binge watching a lot of your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us all. You do an outstanding job on all the video and seem to improve all the time. Concrete! enough said. Hated working concrete right out of high school, now I just work in the aviation world.
And that's how it's done....great video Ryan!! Would like to see the grain bin when it is all finished.
Back when I was a kid I remember when my dad built one we used all the rocks we picked up out of our fields to fill the center that was a workout. Job very well done
Great video . Taking the time to do the pad right pays off in the end with a structure that last and function properly.
You've outdone yourself with the editing on this one. Great job Ryan!
Your off to a good start ! I didn't expect that you and your brother and father were going to be in on the building. That's nice that you get to pitch in and save some bucks! Looks great
Great video. Hope everything goes good. And the rain stays away when not needed
Very nice video Ryan! Love all of the cool camera angles and shots of the process.
Awesome! That’s always an exciting feeling!
Pretty cool way of screeding your stone base, that’s exactly what i do for a living Concrete so i always look for better or shorting time frame in prepping the base. So i. Like it pretty easy to do it that way.
base looks great. i helped a buddy do a foundation very similar to yours about 5 yrs ago. holding up good so far.
Corn-crete!!! Great vid always enjoy these builds
A lot of useful information about grain bin's base. Good luck with grain bin's build.
Awesome stuff right here. Learned a few things as well. Thank you
Looks perfect guys.
Thanks Ryan for the video .
Great video I want to build one some day and its great to see how its done! Thanks for the great shots and showing how it is accomplished!
I can't wait till the harvest videos!!!
Great video Ryan! About ten years ago i helped my uncle and my cousin level the concrete foundation for their 40X90' machinery shed;we didnt install rebars in the concrete! they put instead small fibers in the concrete and they (the concrete company)said that fibers are stronger than rebars...We wernt so sure of that and today there are cracks in the foundation...
I remember the last bin pad i made. 20'x100'x16". A little thicker than I would have wanted to pour it, but it's was I was told had to be done. 100 yards of concrete later we finished it. loved the work and the pad turned out great, but that was a lot of concrete.
Very impressed with the 8
Ive always loved watching concrete being worked. Idk why
Great video Ryan your editing skills are superb.
If you are worried about not being able to stir the grain, I would look into a Shivvers mfg. dryer system. We have three bins with them in them at three bin sites, excellent grain quality and near perfect moisture percentage.
nice job, and congratulations on the new bin
Such a satisfying video!
Ryan and Travis and Dad nice video and dad has the skills in the family he was smoothing out the pad for the equipment to run the bin.
Very interesting. I never knew how they put up the gain bins.
Great video😃, looking foward to harvest season now😃
Great stuff Ryan, turned out very well:):)
Great video ! With no stirator in this one ,you just go up once a month with a rake and break up the crust and then turn the fan on if needed to keep the air flowing .
Thanks for uploading, I've always wondered how this was done.
Great video, thanks!
Good job one and all!
Good looking slump ya pouring. Peace, God Bless America...
Keep up the goood work!
And video is, great as always :)
Greeting's from Croatia!
I love your videos Ryan!
Nice work! Bard is a customer of the company I work for, BASF, Bard are great people. You should put a soaker hose on that pad and wet cure for seven days or as long as you can stand it. The longer the better, and this will reduce cracking and increase strength.
That 79 calf is so cute .
Great vid, subscribed and will stay tuned!
Awesome vid Ryan
Really nice job. Good job on the eight I did not know as well if i would have gone left to right or right to left on the eight.
Videos keep getting better and better. Between u and Travis u guys have the best channels out there. Keep up the great work guys!!! Slow motion shots are outstanding
That's satisfying to watch
Great video Ryan
That's a pretty slick leveling device.
That is a nice start, but their is a lot of more work to do! Good luck my friend!
Love the video best UA-cam channel ever
Good stuff!
Hello, My name Viet, I come from Vietnam, I am really like your chennal, and i see alot of your videos, it is really excited.
Glad you like them!
I pour agricultural concrete for a living, and we have bin pads down to a science, but I absolutely NEED to know the style of those forms. We use steel forms but staking them is a little different with us. Also, we trench a 16 inch "rat barrier" where the bin walls sit. That's a life saver for the farmer. And we also set our center about a half inch high so water won't sit under the center sump. Just giving u some ideas if u ever put up another bin. Looks good tho!!
What does it cost to have a foundation done for a grain silo that's 15' across? Just curious
When placing concrete at that depth a concrete vibrator should always be used to consolidate the concrete. I did however like seeing the rebar being raised to allow the concrete to flow around the rebar. Looks great!
Great video!!
Great work
Great video.
We start harvesting barley in next few weeks. Yay!
No plastic and regular wetting down to slow the curing for a stronger result?
Nice slump !
Great video!!! Keep up the good work!!
Bryce Marsaglia thanks Bryce!
I was hoping you would sign and date on the foundation... looks like we all love to leave our signatures in the base lol
Your youtube channel is more interesting than Discovery Max hajaj
From spain 🇪🇸
Good work 👍👌
Nice work
Great job.
So is the new bin close enough to link the 2 bins with a walkway at the top to save putting on a second staircase? it saved us a pile on our 25k
Wow your camera looks great!!! Nice work!!
Great video thanks for sharing
This is a great video, never seen a concrete truck like that, it is massive.
Jan For some reason they have them like that in USA and UK I don't know where else.
Thanks Wayne, yes it was a first for me, we have the traditional back deposit of concrete ones and the type for casting first level floor casting with the long spout, but this one looks futuristic.
Works out a lot easier because the driver can move the truck as needed and control the pour at the same time.
Thank You
Jan Kotze, It depends where you are in the U.S.A. Here in Ct, most of the concrete trucks are front discharge and they are the best option in my opinion, the driver can pull up to within inches with no help, stop the unloading with just eyesight, quicker to move into position, etc.
I had to always be the guy to pull the striker around the slab while the cement was wet. What a work out.
Great video I'm also a farmer from india
great job and the world is watching lol,,,making and 8/ useing a cup the needed size lol,,,great vid gays
Great video
Concrete will be fine houses in europe are build like this and theres no issues at all after hundreds of years however its weird that you didnt compacted that rock it would be really solid if you compact it before concrete
the rock he used is in the 90 percent range compaction look up 57s compaction charts some but surprised he didn't pour a footer if water gets under it and freezes it will try to lift but don't know how the ground is there so cant say if it will or wont looks like its gonna be fine for the 20yr plan
One should dig the out side foundation below the grown level, 2 feet deep would be ideal, instead of build what they call a floating slab. Hold up much better in the long run.
Also keeps mice out better
Good video Ryan i like it
That's really cool awesome video working with concrete is very hard work have a good day
koolman2021 thanks!
How Farms Work welcome all your videos bring back lots of great memories of when I was farming Ray
Loved the video! :D
I must have missed it, but I didn't see the unloading auger go in. You did put on each in, correct? Loved the video. Great job!!
good job
Muito bacana seus vídeos 👏👏
Excellent
Thx for the nice video
Adding all that gravel is just as strong if not better as long as it is packed down properly in 8-12” lifts.
Your dad does everything
Awesome
I would have thought that the auger to get the grain out would have been set into the base. Does it instead sit on top of the base? I guess depends on design. Thanks for another great video :)
travis has a great sense of humour
I'm working for a farmer pulling corn to our local ethanol plants. I've become so intrigued by how things get to where they are and how they're built since working with them. I've always been told to work for a farmer when it comes to getting trucking experience. I understand why now. If they like you they'll bend over backwards for a guy. I started at harvest this year and thought I was only temporary..... nope..... lol i've become a fixture since october. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My hats off to you guys. Kill yourselves day in and day out and gotta be a jack of all trades!
thats one big ass pad lol
i love your videos
