- BALING STRAW (The Last Days of Wheat Harvest 2019).
It took 10 days, but we FINALLY finished wheat harvest!
For the majority of this crop, we dropped the straw in order to make straw bales. We used about 60 acres worth for our sheep bedding needs, and sold the rest.
In this video, you’ll once again see the daily grind of the actual harvest, but the last two days shows Dan (our custom baler) baling the straw. We make large square bales for storing purposes, and for easier use in the sheep barn.
His baler also has an accumulator table which is a GODSEND when your the one picking up bales.
What do you all do with your wheat straw? Bale or spread?
Comment Below!⬇️⬇️
Thank you for watching this series!
Coming soon… more sheep, and likely more hay😬

Great to see all this again I grew up on a farm with small bales . Hand loaded and unloaded the wagons. But we loaded behind the bailer. Love what you do and I know a framers work is NEVER DONE. Thank you for feeding us.
Sandi..you are a beautiful person inside and out...I am in awe of you with your outlook on life and family...
I had seen this video before, but didn't realize how much work that goes into the putting the crop,care til ready. The drone pictures are just awesome. Thank you Mark, Sandy, Jessica and Jack,
That field is the color of honey. Amazing.
Well done Team Brock! It took me back to my childhood on a farm- the weather, mechanical breakdowns, long days and tired people. Congratulations all round.
Thanks so much Philip!
Watching your videos has changed my life so much, ive never been so inspired by someones video before, so the fact that im so inspired and so into this video means so much, ive learned so much about farming and sheep's, im thinking about getting into it myself.
Sandi.
Thank You very much for letting us walk along with you folks in wheat harvest plus the straw bailing and bail pick up. I did straw bailing as a farm boy we had 80 pound bail's. We had to hand stack straw bail's up in the barn straw mouw. Please Take Care of Your Self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment.
You might not think it but you live the good life .. folks would kill for the life and beauty you have ... there’s no better life than relying on the lord for your harvest.. long live the farmer !!
Truth!
Greetings from Dawson County, Montana USA! There's nothing quite like finishing up a big job. I like the hitch for your bale wagon...slick system. Hey! Thanks for sharing your harvest days with us Sandi...take care.
Thanks for watching Allen!
Love y’all for sharing your life with us who aren’t able to farm but want to!! You’re such an encouragement to keep looking for ways to take another step when a door opens. May God bless you with many great blessings even as your soul continues to prosper
Thanks so much Wendy!
I am addicted to your channel, your joy in the work you do and the love for your family and the farm make me wish I was a farmer❤️
Big Ag. is everywhere, but God willing the Family Farm will prevail! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bill!
Farmers never give up on hard work. The harder work more money.
You and your family work well together. Very efficient. Always nice to watch somebody who is good at what they do.
Thanks! For our first real summer working together as a team, I was pleasantly surprised!!
You are so busy every day ! It never ends ! Im so proud of you ..😁
I love it when all the members of a family work together to make it better.
So do I Joel!
You as a family are doing all right as farmers, keep on keeping on!
Amazing! It looks so good all done and stacked up nice for the winter. Tough but satisfying work it seems.!!You guys work so hard!! Thank you for sharing.
So satisfying!! Thanks!!
Every time the barn floods, it brings back memories of my house flooding during hurricane Harvey. Not a huge amount, but enough to cause a huge headache.
Brilliant Sandi👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. Must comment that it’s great seeing how great your video production is 🥇 🥇🥇 So inspiring! Watching from Australia xx
Thanks so much Sue!!
Sandi
You are a great farmer, please give us that path to your murch store. Thank You Please Take Care of Your Self be safe around all Farm Equipment.

Bravo Sandi.
Thank you!
I’ve absolutely enjoyed watching you all working together.
I have now caught up and am up to date with all of your videos.
Thats awesome! Thanks!
Water leaks anywhere, always make me panic.
Beautiful looking bales !
Thumbs up.
I hear ya... I hate water leaks!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your farming life and such a nice family......love the music used in this video!
Thanks Jim!
I agree a great example to represent a great Canadian Family:)
Proud to be Canadian with farmers and families like yours sharing how our land and community is working!
Hahah if that makes sense, hehe it did in my head
So cool. Your kids will be better than most for growing up on a farm and actually working!
I hope so!
Sandy you and Mark have the most beautiful smiles. I noticed yes has your smile. I can't see Jack because he doesn't cheese at all
Sandi another great video. And yes the two greatest moments of farming is the completion of harvest no matter what crops you raise and having your children show interest in the farm and the business. Families working together can have it's challenges. But in the end you have each other.
God bless you and your family.
You're so very right!
That hay wagon attachment/ dettachment tongue is one slick unit!
Y'all work so hard and I am so envious of your lives!
Ih man I can't believe its over! Way to go.
Thanks! It was nice to see the big farm side of it all.
Thanks Rachel!! Nice to be done!
Girl! I just want to say I am so envious that you get to be a farmer. I have wanted to be a farmer since I was a little girl.
Congrats on finishing the harvest. Now, on to the next job.
LOL. BIngo! Thanks so much Fred.
I so enjoy your videos Sandi... this one especially. My OCD just loved the hay baling and stacking! 🤣
when you and Jack are sitting watch the wheat unload - I know that look as a farmers kid complete exhaustion and wanting this to be finished - our season as we grew hops for beer was 6 weeks of 12 hour days 6 days a week so by the time we were done we were just exhausted and praying a maybe a rain day so we could have a day off to rest
LOL! the real reason behind that scene... mom ran tractor out of DEF... then realized it was out of DIESEL... then the transmission went... and it wasn't our tractor!!! I was so wanting to be done. hahaha
@@SandiBrock Oh crap and other rude farming words like mongrel tractor - running out of diesel and the transmission - not a wonder you were done for the day
Thanks for the journey along with you and your family. Quite interesting for sure.
Thanks so much for watching!
Thankyou for giving us all an insight to your V busy days on the farm. Great to see all the family involved. Hands up to you. You sure do know what you are doing. Brilliant. If you need a hand from Ireland I would love to help. Take care. Loving all your videos. Well presented.
great video,and so good to see family working together
Its been a wonderful surprise how much we liked working together!
These are so satisfying to watch
Thanks!
Thanks for taking me on your wheat adventure.
My pleasure!
Great video! Sure glad I became a subscriber at the beginning of the wheat harvest season. I was impressed with everything about these videos, commentary, drone footage, your equipment the farm and especially you and your family, a great way to make a living and raise a family. Thanks!
Thanks so much Dan! Thats so great to hear!
thank you for posting we enjoy watching you! Great job .
Thanks so much!
All hands on deck for the harvest
Thanks for sharing
I'm very proud of this video the whole family got involved. And you have a beautiful farming community. ❤❤🤠🤠
That little Bobcat telehandler seems like a fantastic, versatile and powerful tool for you guys! I'm jealous.
It is my FAVOURITE thing!!!
Bobcat make some very nice equipment. I got little Bobcat 740 handy for lite work like 1 ton.Max. rated like 1-1/2 tons . But I Try make it last little while. Keep from getting the big boys fuel hogs out.
Great video.Drone videos very good.Harvest is really fun to start and really really fun to get done.One of the biggest things I miss.Helps to watch others work so hard.Thanks.
Thanks so much!
That quick hitch thingy...how cool is that!?!
THE BEST!!!
What a differance a lifetime makes. 🤭 Baling all our straw and hay in small bales and stacking in the hay mow. Hot sticky sweaty dirty grumpy etc. The good old days🥴
LOL... Well, it hasn't been a lifetime... I did that my whole childhood! OMG... I guess thats 30 years ago now! boo.
Done that when I was high school in summer was in more shape than football players at the age of sixty I still pick up bales of hay.
Congrats guys..good job. Thank you for sharing your adventure, I could watch you guys for hours. I don't think the kids understand what it means to you for them to help.
Thanks so much Todd! I agree... Mark and I were just talking yesterday about how much we will miss them next month...
@@SandiBrock, are they off to school.
I live on a farm in West Virginia, it's a lot smaller then what you have but the problems stay the same no matter what size. I use to help out a lot but I'm terminal and in a wheelchair now. It's hard to believe but I miss getting sweaty, dirty and greasy. I still do what I can to help and they help me. As living on farms our families are truly blessed. Thoughts and prayers, Todd.
Your’s and Mark’s channel’s are two of my favorites, really love following the journey:)
Oh so awesome!! Thanks for watching!!!
Keep up the great work.Wathing you from Greece!!
Amazing! Thanks for watching!
The Bale accumulator is a great time saver, so you do not have to retravel the whole field to fetch bales wasting time and cause more unnecessary ground compaction.
Masterful stackage! The drone is UP!
Thanks!
Another great video, thoroughly enjoying watching all the work being done, great job!,thanks for sharing
Thanks Tony!
I am a new viewer and really find your channel informative and interesting--and real. Thanks.
Thanks so much John
we plant all of our 490 acres of winter wheat after we harvested soybeans in October. we farm in michigan. where are you located. you must be in a northern climate. here in michigan we always have good luck with wheat. ours yielded almost 120 bushels an acre. we planted all of our wheat fields into double crop soybeans after the straw was baled. nice video's look forward to seeing more.
We typically plant after soybeans as well... Or our edible beans. Last year we grew early day beans and most were off in September, so wheat was in and up in good weather. We usually plant in October with no issues... even November some years, but October here in Ontario was awful last year. It turned cold and wet. Really saw it in yield this year.
You guys run a well impressive operation.... gees if we had 16.5 moisture here in Ireland we be cutting away... mad how things differ.... we have nowth but rain past 3 weeks... wet wet and wet....
The rain here in Ireland is so bad at the minute, guarantee as soon as kids go back to school sun will come out
One thing I was surprised by was how little bales the baler has done, a big fella here would be doing 20k a year
Oh no!!! And here we are complaining for rain!
Danny does this on the side... He also runs a farm and works full time on a construction crew...
King long Draw an average custom operator here can get 45k if he has the time
Your channel is now one of my favourite along with Welker farms!! Great job!!
watch 10th generation dairyman
@@xMarf I do he is also very good!
WOW! Thats amazing! They are amazing!! Thank you!
Excellent drone footage of the wheat field!
Great video, Sandi, winter in South Africa is almost over, i 'm starting strip tilling within a couple of weeks. Was great to see Mark's videos on the new planter combo!! Would love to see Jess milking! Keep it up, great family
Helluva woman... strong, talented, ambitious and beautiful...
I'm so impressed with her every time I watch her videos. :-)
WOW! thanks so much!!
Too kind, thank you!
And very smart
Her husband is definitely blessed to have such a hardworking beautiful wife and mama! 😍😍😍
wow its a dream for me just to see how nice your land is thank you for letting us be part of your work life cheers .
Love the drone work. So glad it went well. Can't imagine how you do sheep let alone eat and shower after the long days
Thanks goodness I have help in the sheep barn this summer!
Added this to Farm TV on The Farming Forum - thanks for posting!
Thanks so much!!

Greating from Sweden
Thanks so much for watching!!
@@SandiBrock your welcome
That is so fantastic so fun to watch thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for these great videos showing the harvest on a much larger scale than here in the South west of the UK
Good to see a smiling Jack!
LOL. I catch him sometimes!
I love the drone footage on these videos 😍
Congrats on getting wheat done!
Thanks Mike!
YAY! good job all :) question, why do some fields have tree islands or grass islands in the middle of the field? I'll reply to this with a timestamp for an example. Why aren't they removed?
15:29 is an example of the tree island :)
Sandy, you're a great woman, congratulations
Thank you!
could have a drinking game of taking a drink everytime you touched your sunglasses in this video 😆 😆
Your story of trying to get down a busy highway reminded me of the you tube song by Craig Morgan "International Harvester" Very funny and apparantly true.
Thats an amazing quick hitch system, i dont know why they dont have that over here in the uk, looks to be self aligning too..
we need here in australia too, peter
peter humphries
Sandi Brock
Buy 200 of those hitches - send 100 to England & 100 to Ausyland
Best things ever! Especially during hay season also!
LOL. Looks like a promising side hustle!
really enjoyed seeing that part of your great life.
Thanks Frank!
Great job guys and girls you did it you deserve cold one's the mountains are calling
The mountains were cold and delicious! LOL
your pulling the spikes out on rear tilt on a lot of them, that can move the bales too, when you dont want them too..
I know... I suck at this part as I have almost no view of the loader spears... Hate these JD loaders for this. My Bobcat I can see great, then get on this and do a lot of cursing...
Nicely done! Once again great video! 🐑
Thanks so much Trevor!!
The hitch is cool, now I know why you said it was fantastic a few episodes ago.
What happens to to the weeds in the margin fields when you harvest, do they just end up in the straw.
Seeing how the combine Works would be very interesting
Hey Curtis! I didn't get much combine footage, but I'll direct you to my husbands channel... He will have way better info on that stuff!!
ua-cam.com/channels/l7w_vIfnELsmuKRR-TRSZA.html
Thanks love your show with the family ❤️
Thanks Troy!
ah the big square bale.... when you need the convenience and ease of use of a little square bale, in round bale size!
Enjoyed the video,I always like to see tractors working,and the coordination needed to get things done.Love the quick hitch system you guys have,and will have try it for myself,when I get equipment again.Have you ever grown oats,to use as feed and bedding? I did with goats,and it worked out well.I know you can sell the wheat,but with my small acreage,it worked out well,and saved me on feed cost,so it's like getting paid. Keep up the good work.
I am following all the videos that you are publishing. You are a wonderful lady You are my idol from now on....Redeemer Rashid . Algeria
Well done, all of you 😃😊
Thanks Marion!!
Excellent video keep up the good work🕺🏼😎🏴
Thanks!
We Bale all of our straw and usually have to buy in a bunch as well. How many acres if wheat did you have?
We had 440 acres total, plus around 80-90 acres custom... Only needed 60 acres worth of straw for ourselves, but sold the rest to some other livestock farmers in the area...
Hi! I appreciate you taking the time to film and share it all with us! Just wondering if you ever have parasite problems with your sheep? If so what wormer do you use? Thx!
My sheep stay indoors, and so far, I've never treated them for worms...
Must be nice.. I got fields not be ready until like Halloween time. Got 1 raked ready bail now in a few mins. That A border Collie at start? We got one look lot like that one. Little mean biting Pup. LOL Joking. Maybe 7 months old. Our 1st one.
She is a border collie, australian shepherd, blue heeler cross...
Are you planning on extending the hay storage section of the barn where you store your straw bales? Curious why it is not enclosed from the weather.Love you videos. Keep them coming.
We are sitting on a used tarp barn that we just haven't had time to put up yet. Hoping that will give us some more storage...
Thanks for sharing your family farming. Maybe the farm would invest into a baler ?
Maybe someday...
Love the videos and the music you do.I do have one question regarding Jess milking the cows, um.. where are the cows?I have not seen a cow barn or a herd yet. I know you get a thousand questions a day from your social media accounts and cannot figure out why you do not fall asleep while editing your videos, so I will be patient. Thanks so much for sharing what you do.
LOL. I am slow getting back, I'm sorry... So Jess milks cows part time for our neighbours. She loves milking cows and has worked here, and previously at our good friend's jersey farm that was dispersed last October.
@@SandiBrock Thank you for filling me in on that. By dispersed I assume ( I hate assuming lol) you mean it was sold or the dairy is no longer there.
Glad to see you be able to get straw under cover so quickly.
Happy Harvesting
Thanks!
We complete wheat harvesting in April and May here in Pakistan
When you are out harvesting how does your family have meals? Do you take lunches to the field or do you have meals at the end of the day?
This is our downfall, I'll admit. We will grab a bite before we go out to the fields, and eat when we finish... The good part about wheat is we know there will be no all-nighters, so we just eat supper late.
You do a lovely job and great video 👌👍
Thanks so much!
