Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!

Grew up on a Farm, did something else for 45 years, but I now know more about farming from watching your channel than I ever dreamed of. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and time with us.
The backbone definitely looks like the better option.
Your corn looks amazing on your rain field.
Good morning, Nathan
Good to see Nathan that your a little shy of 30k subs!! The 360 Rain is quite the sweet rig.
As far as field loss, it's obvious from the drone shots that even though the 360° may be running over a stalk here and there, you'll be seeing much more harvest because of the additional stalks not removed from the fixed irrigation system.
That water is so freaking awesome I could watch it for months . Wow wish I could be a farmer again . How freaking awesome
Nathan, that Rain system is fantastic.
Good morning Nathan from north Iowa, could you do a machinery video showing the 4020,the RX, COMBINE, AND THE BIG 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE RAIN, I GREW UP ON A SMALL GRAIN FARM,THE CHANGES OF Equipment is amazing, I grew up around the 4020’s and a 4010 narrow front. Thanks for the videos,now disabled army vet in a chair, I enjoy all of your vids.
Thank you for your service sir. God bless
The shot up close to the watering is amazing.
Drone video was sweet. Corn Roomba is awesome. Runs slow enough that it doesn't hurt the corn.
We run a hard hose and pull with a D17 and have a mower on it that runs at about shoulder height so we can run through standing corn. If we select a shorter hybrid it will run just above the ear like seed corn.
What about the rows going under the pull tractor? Aren't those getting broken off?
@@BorderViewFarms it’s a single front wheel and high clearance they can bend a ways
Good morning
G’job Nathan, love the 360, but having pivots all these years, still kinda miss the big gun on the Traveller😁y’all take care🇺🇸
Love the new irrigation
Don’t forget about compaction
Beautiful corn 🌽
I think it would be neat if they could add sprayer tips to the rain to do fungicides
That would require a whole separate liquid system and add an immense amount of complexity and cost
Very good content. 😎🇺🇸
Good Morning
😅backbone adds to the artistic entertainment of drone shots.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
12 mini ears.I love the dissection videos, which is really odd when I think how bab I hated science in school
That salt gone is amazing
Thanks for the video
Nathan, it is called salt neutralizer you can put it on a hose and spray it on anything that has salt on it
Doesn’t knock down as much as I thought. Will definitely help with more yield.
Hope you guys had a great 4th of July
I am really curious to see how that cornfield is going to turn out for harvest since you have that new irrigation machine. That is crazy. That corn is truly living its best life lol.
14:20 yeah I tried to shop local and buy American all that stuff...
It's hard when like you're saying they're charging two to three times more and their selection is almost nothing...
I get it it's hard to run a small town business but when your customers have the choice of ordering it online and having it delivered in a couple days...
We use a product called Salt Lick by Hotsy. You use the foam cannon to put it on and let it sit for ten minutes, then power wash off. Works really good on the sprayer. Also works great on road salt on the vehicles that it was designed for.
ANother great video Nathan, BTW I just ordered a Best RX shirt from Farm Focus. Have a great weekend!
What if foaming soap was squirted into all the small cavities of a row unit... Would dried up dirt balls like that melt away?
Salts Gone? I didn't even know this stuff existed and ordered some already. Logically it should be a great addition as one of the washings that you were going to do anyway.
Good morning… do you think you will adjust your planting techniques to help keep the water in the corn row next year? Not a huge problem but I know you have mentioned it in some previous videos. Love this 360 rain!! Also will you buy another one soon?
Probably lower the row cleaners a little
This 360 solution seems very beneficial. Im curious about the cost differentials between this type of unit and the conventional pivot systems being utilized. Would this be a valid replacement to those systems?
He mentioned that the rain system is cheaper than a conventional pivot irrigation.
Another great video Nathan what's the new flag on the flagpole go green
State of Ohio flag
@@BorderViewFarms if I send you a Michigan State flag will you fly it
@almontgomery192 not a State of Michigan flag but I have a Michigan State flag I might fly on game days
@@BorderViewFarms sounds awesome buddy have a good day
7 ears on the corn plant
Should be better dumping the water and fert right at the base of the plant also vs dowsing the foliage and likely causing more disease issues
How would 360 do on rolling ground, seems like it only good for flat ground.
I'm not the person to answer that. I think it would do ok but the water will run down hill
What do you think about the two drops where you turned them at angle? Do you like that better?
Yeah seems a little better
This irrigation system is something better for the soil in that so much salt is added to the soil with sprinklers rather than flood irrigation. This is flood irrigation which is better for the plants than sprinklers. Of course it does not wash the leaves clean as sprinlers do, but I have watched corn all my life and people flood irrigating down the corn rows had way stronger corn than sprinklers.
farmers replant beans but not corn as often, is this due to the higher population of the bean seed? I do know you are planting double crop beans now and not a replant. i hope i made my question clear,
Corn has a longer growing season and will not reach maturity if planted later in the year.
You mean Farmers
We do replant corn occasionally. It's not fun job and only when absolutely necessary.
What is average of corn per acre
How much fuel is that burn per hour
You might have more subscribers by now if you would put out more interesting content rather than just talking to yourself with a camera in your face........
I think his videos are more than interesting guess you can watch Larson's farms are millennial farmer they are nothing but infomercials
I, for one find the agronomic information more interesting than just watching machinery going up and down the fields, there are plenty of channels to watch that. I always look forward to his videos and appreciate all the time and effort that he puts in. It’s a shame there’s not more subscribers , but I feel there are more actual farmers watching Nathan, Mark, Phil and the boys than a lot of the other major channels. Also I live in the uk so we don’t grow the same crops,
or on such a scale.
I look forward to Nathan's near daily content. I think the lack of huge number of subscribers is a YT not featuring the channel, JMO
good morning
