I'm using your videos to gauge how much of a year we've had in the country due to all the early rain in the spring everybody had. The rains kept the bug population down here. There were no dead bugs on my windshield all year. No bugs for the birds. It was bad this year. I hope next year is more normal.
Good stuff Stan, I enjoyed your truck videos and I'm enjoying your farming adventures. It's interesting to see how other people make a living and the depth of knowledge that they require. Keep them coming. Keep smiling mate JD
My uncle was a corn farmer in eastern Kansas back in the 1950s. I can remember him bragging about getting 50 bushel to the acre. My how times have changed. I am sure the science of growing corn has changed in the last 70 years with today's corn farmers knowing more about fertilizing, seed improvement, better harvesting machinery expect those 200 bushel crops. Really interesting Stan.
Stan,this was a very interesting video .I can remember my father walking behind the combind looking for seed .When he was not happy he would shake his fist at me and I would stop .Time for some air and ground adjustments .He He .Enjoying your new videos . Take Care .
thank you Mr kirk for a really awesome presentation. I love how he tells it but I also like your questions Mr Stan.. I really enjoy this series your doing Mr Stan
Cool. The kid knows his business. Pretty soon you will be fighting for screen time. It'll be interesting to see who wins the Combine Competition. There will be big bragging rights involved. Thanks for posting.
This is not the episode where Spock loses his memory and is stranded on a grain harvesting planet. Capt. Kirk finds Spock when strange radio transmissions are picked up from a planet millions of light years away that was once called country music. Radio transmissions that find Spock doing the farm report.
Back east were they get alot of rain it is plowed under but not out here. Moisture is scarce so they try to capture all they can. It stands thru the winter to capture drifting snow. That keeps snow on the field instead of in the road ditch. Then it melts into the field to be absorbed and not in the ditch to just flow away. In the spring the next crop of corn, soybeans or milo is planted strait into the stubble. After about a year it is all broken down naturally into a compost layer.
I just came back from SE Miinnesota on a drive along I-90. Some corn was picked and other fields had not been done 50/50 I would say. There was snow on the ground (3") and it was 16 degrees; ask the boss if you can still run a combine at that temperature or does that situation cause problems in the harvest operation. Also the weather for the next week said well below seasonal temperatures
He says he has picked corn as late as Jan in a snow storm before. Thats not preferable but sometimes it needs to be done. Since corn is in a husk it is somewhat protected and can be the latest crop harvested
Very cool. Stan, here's a question for The Boss, if he gets the time (and inspiration) to answer it: Why do you plant the various grains (eg milo, wheat, corn, etc) mate? Are some fields better suited to a particular crop? Or are you trying to estimate what the demand will be for various crops come the next season and planting accordingly?
You dont want to put all your eggs in on basket therefore they plant multiple crops. Different reasons are weather, crop prices, even fire for instance. If a fire starts in June and burns a wheat field it will eventually get to a fall crop like corn which is still green in June. If a fire starts in the fall in a corn field it could burn over to a wheat field that has already been cut. If prices drop on corn, they may make decent money on the other crops to off set the lose. If weather ruins a wheat field (hail) the corn is still in a young stage of growth and may recover. Its all about spreading the risk. Another reason is for crop rotation. A field will have milo in it one year, wheat in it the next year, and left fallow the next to allow it to recover for corn the next. Its done for soil fertility
all corn ,beets,soybeans, alfalfa, are gmo you have to have a farm that is miles from another one that plants gmo for them not to be contaminated ,by the way our government has allowed this to benefit themselves they own most of Monsanto.
Interesting. Love learning new things. Curt knows his stuff and does a good presentation. Thank you, I enjoyed.
Keep these coming nice to see these type of videos, not everybody knows what it takes to farm.
It takes MONEY!!! :)

That was interesting!! Thanks for sharing that.
An Arctic blast is coming Big Stan...stay warm big man. If it snows, see if you can get Kirk to make a snow angel!
thank you Mr kirk for a really awesome presentation. I love how he tells it but I also like your questions Mr Stan.. I really enjoy this series your doing Mr Stan
Very interesting & informative. People have no idea, the cost of farming. I appreciate you sharing all that

Thanks for sharing 🚜
Thank you guys for making these. This is very interesting.
It's always nice to have the right tool for the job. Even if it's the operator. Live long and prosper.

I love visiting the farms.
Good luck on the combine challenge Kirk...hope you do well!
love curt talking, you and curt are great content creators
Hey Stan,
Just Perfect,
V MAN
Well done, had no idea of all of this, thanks!
Hello Stan, i believe kirk forgot say "peace"...is his thing!!! Like you say Hello America !!!
Good to see Kirk again.....Curious to know what becomes of the stubble that’s left...Is it plowed under?

That's pretty good to keep shatter loss at 2 bu/A or 1%.

Millenial Farmer in MN showing what they're up against.
God bless the farmers.
@@flatbedtruckingsamrides.9355 Great video from the Millennial Farmer!!!

@@Sasnak Very cool ... thanks for that mate :)
He's such a cutie
So interesting !!!!!!
Keep it up Kirk!
Stan is this the new video beginning with Kirk and the rest of the story??? Looking forward to the next one..Have a good day..😀👍☕️
So it sounds like he’s losing money? How does that work?
When he's making 60 bushels per acres and 1 bushel falls on the ground its an acceptable loss.
Sasnak ahhhh. Now that makes sense.
Hello is that GMO corn
all corn ,beets,soybeans, alfalfa, are gmo you have to have a farm that is miles from another one that plants gmo for them not to be contaminated ,by the way our government has allowed this to benefit themselves they own most of Monsanto.
Pat Broadway Monsanto does not exist ..... was sold to Bayer..........
