Summer Schedule
Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster 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.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
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.

Always a pleasure listening and watching Andrew. What a terrific young, professional gentleman. Great Video Ryan...
Andrew knows his stuff. I trust him. Too bad he's two hundred miles away or I'd hire him to spray my hayfields.
Hey Ryan thanks for the video. You and Hana better get ready to move some hay for Travis 😂👍
Hey Ryan!! Its amazing a farmer can even make money with all the stuff you have to put to make it grow.
@Jokers Wild Exactly... why I gave up on row crops in '03... unless you're farming a gazillion acres and willing to make a couple bucks an acre (so it adds up over all the acre to something halfway decent) it becomes "why bother?" My old man gave up his rented ground and quit farming on his own back in '77-- he worked the winter of '76 a the nuke plant and was making more money than he'd ever seen IN HIS LIFE up to that point... $5.50/hr back when that was like about $35 bucks an hour nowadays!!! He just helped Grandpa with the home farms til Grandpa died in '83 and then helped me a year or two to get me started and then left it to me to do it all on my own, maybe help a little at planting and harvest, that was it. Can't say I blame him!
Our family had farmed cotton on the home place since before 1900, Grandpa started farming cotton on it in the 50's after getting it back from the guy my great-grandfather had been renting it to a few years after he quit... I was born in '71 cotton was 60 cents a pound. It was 60 cents a pound on average when I took over for Grandpa when I was 12 after he died in 83, and it was 60 cents a pound on average when I graduated in 89... it was STILL 60 cents a pound when I decided to quit growing cotton in the late 90's due to the boll weevil eradication program coming in an putting an extra $20/acre costs up front on every acre of cotton, MANDATORY no choice, and increasing our expenses 20% OVERNIGHT!! I was farming cotton for $100 an acre for direct inputs, DIRT CHEAP, 65and here comes some quasi-gubmint sumb!tches who just slap an instant 20% increase "tax" on you and that's when I said "eff it". Went all grain sorghum and soybeans for a few years, cheaper to grow then cotton but STILL expensive, and sorghum wasn't but about $5/cwt or so not much money in it either unless you farm half the county... We quit row crops and went all cow/calf-- at least with that I can DECIDE how much money to spend, more or less, and when to sell, rather than *having* to spend big bucks on seed and chemicals and fertilizer and fuel and then *having* to sell the crop in a limited window without having to pay big storage costs eating up the profits or trying to figure out what to do with forward contracting, and still taking a bath on half the crop so you don't OVER-contract and have to buy it back for UNDER-delivering in a short crop year... If the market it paying well I can spend a little more, but if the market only wants to pay 30 cents for calves (which I HAVE seen in my lifetime!) I can deliver 30 cent calves... pot bellied, rangy little things, but for 30 cents that's all they'll get LOL:)
I found some fertilizer receipts of Grandpa's back when it was $60 a ton... it was $160 a ton when I was in high school and in the mid-90's it jumped to like $400 a ton. Seed that Grandpa bought for $9 a bag and I bought for $15 a bag in high school, is $350 a bag now... fuel of course has gone up, and some chemicals are actually cheaper while others are higher... just crazy. Dad's best friend graduated in '65, and rented 20 acres up the road from us. He borrowed a little money at the bank and put in a cotton crop. Borrowed his old man's machinery and plowed it up, disked, drag harrowed, hipped, fertilized, and planted a cotton crop. Cultivated it a couple times sprayed it once or twice, defoliated and borrowed the old man's picker and picked it, hauled it to the gin and then sold it... made enough money that he paid off the bank loan, paid off all the fuel he burned and paid the old man a little money for using his equipment, and STILL had enough money left to go buy a brand spanking new '65 Ford pickup truck... He and Dad went and saw "Thunderball" the day after he bought it! ALL of that on ONE SINGLE TWENTY ACRE FIELD OF COTTON!!! How many acres of cotton would you have to grow TODAY to pay off all the loans IN FULL and STILL have enough money left over to go pay cash for a BRAND NEW FORD PICKUP today, and still have money to live on afterwards?? Probably 20-30,000 is my guess! Back when i was a kid, Dad bought a used '72 Chevy pickup and paid for it, I used to ride STANDING UP in the middle of the seat; no carseats back then! We'd go to Ron's chicken and they'd get a 2 piece chicken-n-roll dinner for like 35 cents, maybe 10 cents for an order of fries and another 10 cents for a coke... Family of three could eat for a little over a DOLLAR... He traded the old Chevy rustbucket off for a brand new '77 F-100, only had to pay about $1,600 bucks after trade in! Back then, 60 cent a pound cotton was like probably SIX DOLLARS A POUND nowdays *just* to keep up with inflation... now you can't even buy a cup of coffee for 60 lousy cents!!!
BUT, farmer's don't do it for the money-- they do it because they love it, it's their desired lifestyle, and it's what they WANT to do. MOST farmers nowdays work a day or night job in town anyway... well over 60% of farmers work an off-farm job to provide a decent income, or have a spouse working full time off-farm providing income and benefits. Later! OL J R: )
Just bought a 4640 like yours on farming sim
Another good video. Andrew seems like a great guy to help with all your fertilizing needs. Seems like he is invested as you are
I need an Andrew here in Romania ASAP
I starting to think Ryan and Travis compete to who puts outs out the most videos..yesterdy Travis posted a video today is Ryan's video...its all good they equally put out quality videos
I like seeing alternative ways of fertilizer application. Here it's granular or deep banded anhydrous in the fall.
These videos are the best I think. Andrew is very knowledgeable and willing to try something new to see if there could be a better way. I have learned a lot in the last year about fertilizer for my wheat and I wish I had a rep like Andrew to help me. Good job.
Always interesting to hear your plans👍
Thx for sharing, greetings from Belgium
Great video Ryan , liked the Y dropping you did last year and saw ur yeild increase , I want to see what this does this year and see if it makes any difference in yeild
Used to run over thousands of acres post plant up to 3 leaf, depending on chemicals added, was a great plan for farms that were heavy clay and had trouble getting out later in the year.
Thanks for the vid guys..
The Terra gator is my favorite farm machine!!
Great video Ryan.
Awesome video
That's looks sick
I was kind of hoping for hay videos after see that merger show up on the farm. Oh well. In due time
It’s interesting how Andrew talks almost like it’s his field
Well, he's the agronomist on it and they hire him to consult on the crop and figure out what to apply and when to maximize their yields while minimizing their inputs costs to the extent possible... so in a way it *is* his field... OL J R:)
Great
Loveing the videos ryan I bin watching u for a few years I am a huge fan this makes me want to play farming simulator 19 lol
Have y'all done square bales before on your farm
Andrew and I are alike in at least one respect: we're responsible for seeing to the chemical and nutritional needs of our clients. How we go about our tasks differs a bit, but it's generally the same thought process. I don't know if he wants to wear my white coat on the job, though.
Hi Ryan
Talking fertilizer with ag agronomist Andrew 😄🤝
Ryan I see the Harvestor silos in the background . Is the dairy operation shut down ??
Really how long have you watched the channel . It’s been years and years since they did any kind of dairy
Pretty cool machine dont see alot of them
I would have been worried about that tropikmmmm system.
It would be nice if you would put the date the video was made at the beginning.
Awesome!
Like airplane)
Love your videos. when will you start using the new mower
Soon as the rain stops!
@@HowFarmsWork hi
What factors determine for you whether to side dress it into the ground or spray it on? Saw Dodge Brothers video re side dressing, Carl seems to be using significantly less product per acre. Uninformed non-farmer question, maybe it's an apples and oranges comparison. Enjoy your videos, thanks.
Now if it stops raining you guys and every one else can get there cultivators out
My mom works at a nutrien
Ran one went north of in dec.broke there ice 4 of them hooked up pulling me out .some reason we never went back
You got a hair cut. I see your ears
that terragator looks so unstable....and needs a wash....
It seems rude to keep looking at your phone and not really giving any attention to the video or conversation
He was flying the drone ... dont @ him like that when dont know what hes doing
He was also letting Andrew explain everything to the viewers so they get a clearer understanding of what's going on, the two of them would have already had discussions about what was going to be done way in advance of this video being made so they could book the guys in advance to come do it.
