Thanks for showing guys . Enjoy your Kansas farming . You all are very humble family , hard working , salt of the earth . We don't hear from them much , but you boys have great parents.
I think its sooo amazing how much busier your farm stays compared to more typical crop farms or even smaller herd cattle farms like How Farms Work, its almost like you could have two or three vlogs goin at once in order to keep up with what all 3 brothers are doing, that's a lot of acres to try to have multiple crops on per year, just soooo crazy, and that's even me having watched I think every last video you've put out, still amazes me
Chris Rowlison there's a lot of content we don't get filmed because of that! But yes between 1,000 head of cattle and 2,000 acres of 5 crops + double crops it's kind of crazy!
@@PetersonFarmBros have u thought about doing more of the third party editing, like welker farms uses, in order to try to get more filmed and still have time to farm?
Made me remember the very wide roads making grids out in the corn and bean fields in central Illinois. The road width was puzzling until you came face to face with one of the combines that looked like Tonka toys way out in the fields, but were basically the size of a two story house.
I grew up near a WWII marine vet that saw some real ugly things. He had companion dog on his ranch that went everywhere, and I mean everywhere he went. Robert built him special platforms on the tractors etc so that he had a special place to ride. They were inseparable partners in ranching.
Just found your channel and noticed a bunch of "you need to's" about how you maintain your equipment in the comments. Im pushing 50 and have ran/worked on all kinds of machines in my working life. CNC wood processing centers, oilfield coolers/radiators/comperssors/drilling rig parts, RV's/cars/trucks, tractors, etc blah blah... Just wanted to say I think you're doing a fine job. You cant do everything perfect or by the book, especially in the field. Everything is a compromise between time, tools available, and money. Get er done how you can.
As my husband and I drove to Salina last weekend to meet up with our son who is now woking in the area. As I'm driving I said what is that crop still in the field. My husband said Milo. And we both commented Itchy at the same time. LOL . Just had to laugh.
Me and my grandpa operate a harvest crew in the panhandle of Texas and this is the first year we didn’t have any corn or milo to harvest, I’m kind of jealous of y’all
I work for the railroad in Kansas City and we haul most of the the grain from central KS heading to barges on the Mississippi River and other destinations east.
2:04 your lucky when we harvest it is usually cold and we don't have the time to warm up the grease gun so I have to squeeze as hard as I can to get a little grease
I grew up in South Texas, in the 1960/1970's we didn't grow much corn, but we did grow a lot of milo. We used open air combines and it wasn't too bad if you used a lot of baby powder and tried to stay dry. You didn't want to sweat, it made it worse. We used 38 or 40 inch rows. It looks like you are using a lot tighter row.
No kidding that dust is ITCHY ITCHY ITCHY !! My Poppa would put raw rice in an old sock, then put lots of baby powder in it and tie up the end. All day long you could see him dobbing that sock around his neck, and down his arms looking white as a ghost !! Soybean dust can be just as bad !!
Growing up in southeast Iowa, we didn't have Milo, but we always had a field of oats for feeding dairy cattle and brood does. Oats dust is itchy, and we harvested in mid July when it was very hot. What a combination, sweatie and itchy!
Your right... My old man would always tell us to blow air out from the inside of the filter. High pressure air blowing in to the filter from the out side was a big NO...NO..!!
I was doing it that way because the air attachment on Dad's truck doesn't really fit inside the filter. Typically it is done from the inside out. But a clean filter outside in is better than a dirty one. I don't think it damages it to do it backward, just probably isn't as effective.
@@PetersonFarmBros yeah, when you don't have the right fitting. You just got to get do what you can, better to blow it out how ever you can.... At least the filter is cleaned....😎👍
@@PetersonFarmBrosI've used the wrong attachment before and I don't blame you one bit. Cleaner than the tapping method we use to do without air. I saw the purpose built air cleaner attachment in the next video. Very handy.
I worked for Cargill in Southern Indiana and I hated Milo even tho we didn't deal with much of it. Have you ever popped it like popcorn a lady I worked with did one time for us.
I'm wondering why the sorghum plant being harvested in this video were dry..? here in our area, sorghum plants are green even in 120days maturity, hence there were lots of moisture. grind stalks were mixed with the grains using combine harvester.. Question: how do you make the plant dry before harvesting...?
I love your channel been watching since you guys started it I’m from the Wykoff ranch between Brookville and kanopolis reservoir. But I live in Huntington Beach California now. I really appreciate the videos. You guys ever watch cole the cornstar video’s they’re really good also.
@@PetersonFarmBros video just dont show it true then thats for sure cause it looks like you could go lower to get the down stuff do you know what the milo is used for
I cut about 400 acres of the itchy stuff this year. There was not much itchy stuff this year. Could it be that one day it was green and needing more time then the next morning dead at 20 degree temps?
You never blow into a filter! You always blow out from the center to clean out what ever is in the air filter! Blowing into it can create microscopic holes! Which I should not have to tell you are very bad for the engine! Edit It is better to bounce the filter and dislodge the dirt before you blow at a low pressure from the backside of the filter. Best to have the air in a wide area instead of a small area. Less chance of creating holes in the filters.
Why would the filter be more prone to "microscopic holes" from one side vs the other? It's the same metal-mesh covering inside and out. The only difference is that the pleating is slightly closer together on the inside. Plus, when you blow it off from the inside, you're forced by the confined space to put the tip of the air nozzle very close to the point of contact - the opposite of your "wide area" suggestion. I always preferred blowing them off from the outside, keeping the tip a foot or so away from the filter and maintaining an angle in line w/the pleating . . but I'm just a dumb farmer.
Because your pushing the dust and debris further into the filter and possibly into the inside. Always blow a filter out from engine side out... pretty easy to dust a cylinder if you put a small tear in the filter
@@calynwichert2615 As I pointed out, from the inside forces you to put the nozzle very close to the filter fabric. Unlike a car, the machine shown in the video has a double filter system on the engine (not sure if the video shows this). The one he blew out was an outer filter for the big chunks. There's another filter nested inside of that one which, in my experience, is never removed and blown out; its just replaced on a seasonal basis. His cylinders are safe.
If it's itchy on your outer skin imagine what that dust is doing to your mucous membranes as you breathe it in. The worker at the elevator is smart to wear a dust mask. It may take years to accumulate but that dust may slowly kill you if you breathe it in year after year with respiratory diseases right on up to oral and lung cancer.
at about 500 hours on farm equipment you need to do the 50 hour grease at 45 hours and then start going by grease load afterwards. Takes 20m to check em all and 5m to burn one out.
No no no, you got it all wrong! It's supposed to be an open cab combine with me and my 2 brothers on the back. I'm bagging, middle brother sewing the bags and the youngest slinging them down the chute to the ground. Then coming back and loading on the trailer and carry to the barn. Try that for a couple hundred acres every year. I hate milo so bad I almost didn't click the video.
That's some hard work there! Probably had to milk a cow and feed the livestock at the end of the day also! If only we had much more of that these days!!!
This was my most hated crop when I was a kid. Threshing was dirty work but cleaning out the grain tanks containing milo was AWFUL! I also dreaded the baling and hauling of small square bales of milo stalks. Gonna stop now as I am getting itching flashbacks!
Thanks for showing guys . Enjoy your Kansas farming . You all are very humble family , hard working , salt of the earth . We don't hear from them much , but you boys have great parents.
I haven't done milo in over 25 years and just watching you guys makes me itch. We used a 1460 IH combine with a JD 5 row rowcrop head on 36inch rows.
So awesome. Schools should show your vids to the kids.
"vids"?
😳
How wude!
Just found your channel this morning I’m hooked keep the great videos coming

I don't miss that stuff one bit. Raised it here in southern Nebraska till '91. Corn and bean rotation now. Started itching the second I saw it.
Not itching, but my sinuses are clogged watching this. LOL. Enjoy the videos.
Well i learned two things, milo dust is itchy and you made a good career choice (farmer not singer) :) thanks for posting.
Made me remember the very wide roads making grids out in the corn and bean fields in central Illinois. The road width was puzzling until you came face to face with one of the combines that looked like Tonka toys way out in the fields, but were basically the size of a two story house.
Love that your dog goes with you..
glenda lenton he just loves riding along!
@@PetersonFarmBros sweet lol he did look happy..

I literally started coughing and sneezing and my throat got itchy just watching this! Pretty awesome. Not much milo grown in this area.

Wow, that dust is fearsome but the crop looks great.
Hi Mate...🇦🇺
Great video, nice looking crop..👍😎
We generally use crop lifters on our header front when we have downed Sorghum...
Amen brother.
Keep on keeping on
Great video!

9600 and 9610s are great combines.
Baby powder under your collar helps alot with the itch
Does it work on your collar?
@@deadghost1964 yes it helps a lot.
New subscriber to your channel & really enjoyed watching. Thank you .
Bacon! BACon!! BAACOOON!!!!
7:12🐶
Makin' good time... I haven't seen milo run since I was 14 years old... I'm 76...
What's the sing while you were in the field in the truck harvesting? I like it is why
2:04 your lucky when we harvest it is usually cold and we don't have the time to warm up the grease gun so I have to squeeze as hard as I can to get a little grease
Andrew_ da savage why the fuck don’t you use a battery
Beautiful country!!!!
That trail in the field at 5:02, is that water drainage wash-out?
Yes, that whole field had water over it in the spring. We were surprised at the stand!

good vid, we don't grow milo in Alberta, a little forage sorghum. Short season seed is very expensive.
What's the song name starting at 4:38
Tigerblood Jewel - The Bayou

It was the Barley dust that would get to me . . . . ugh . .
@@theda850two I never been around barley so I'll take your word for it !! 👍👍👊✌😁
Now i know where my wild pidgeon feed comes from 😆
I was always taught to blow cab and engine air filters from the inside out. Do you have any concerns blowing from the outside in?
Your right...

It depends on what kind of filter
I worked for Cargill in Southern Indiana and I hated Milo even tho we didn't deal with much of it. Have you ever popped it like popcorn a lady I worked with did one time for us.
Do you run Milo guards on your combines
Do you have migratory dove in Kansas?This would be an awesome dove field.
Down in South Texas we called it mase and the white was called hi-gear. I guess it is where you were born and what your parents called it.
Do you utilize the rest of the plant after it is harvested?
Alex Schoenberg we graze it or if it's a really dry year we chop it for silage 👍
This is a dumb question, but is an elevator the same as a silo?
What do you do with your Milo stubble?
I'm wondering why the sorghum plant being harvested in this video were dry..? here in our area, sorghum plants are green even in 120days maturity, hence there were lots of moisture. grind stalks were mixed with the grains using combine harvester..

Watching y’all cut milo from inside a cotton stripper in Texas
You supposed to blow air filters from the inside out not the outside in.
Good point. If they messed up, let them be and let them learn their mistakes.
As heavy as the fine dust is, in those filters, wouldn't it be better to just stop and blow halfway through the day, to help the combine do better?
I love your channel been watching since you guys started it I’m from the Wykoff ranch between Brookville and kanopolis reservoir. But I live in Huntington Beach California now. I really appreciate the videos.
You guys ever watch cole the cornstar video’s they’re really good also.
Do you bale any of the milo fodder either for feed or bedding?
what is milo used for and stupid question why not just cut lower with the grain table to get the down milo
The heads are on the ground, the row head "fingers" on the front actually run on the ground and lift them up to be picked.
@@PetersonFarmBros video just dont show it true then thats for sure cause it looks like you could go lower to get the down stuff do you know what the milo is used for
@@PetersonFarmBros would think the head on the combine you was running was ran low enough you could pick up the down stuff also what is milo used for
I like farm👍 And dog
I cut about 400 acres of the itchy stuff this year. There was not much itchy stuff this year. Could it be that one day it was green and needing more time then the next morning dead at 20 degree temps?
when you say it is itchy.. do ya get little red spots with a little pimple holding clear fluid?
How many bushels to the acer?
"acer"?
It's the farm, not computer.
We grow Milo in N. Missouri....MIlo dust nearly kills some men..I eat it for breakfast..
LOL Yeah right
How many acres is your farm?
Is milo used as food for cows?
I thought only fiberglass will makes you itching?
🤔
Always blow the air filter from the inside out!!!!
Yes!!!!!!!!
Why don’t you run hopper extensions on the 9610
Sam Nadin we've only had it for a year hoping to get some put on
Ok, thanks for replying 😊

What elevator is that
Itch berries. I unloaded about 350,000 bushels of that stuff
what is the grain used for ?
What is the moisture on your grain sorghum?
Paul Case 14 full season, the double crop has been around 15.5 and might not drop any Lower than that
at about 500 hours on farm equipment you need to do the 50 hour grease at 45 hours and then start going by grease load afterwards. Takes 20m to check em all and 5m to burn one out.
have any pheasants?
Only if you visit zoo, you will see some.
@@deadghost1964 lots here in SD.
Cutting milo myself watching this vid
Keenan Kelley very nice!
Peterson Farm Bros Dekalb 3307 yielding very well just starting to fall over which is no good.
like most crops it is itchiest after a dry year.still one of my favourite crops to grow along with faba beans and lupins.
Why is it called Milo Australia call sorghum

You can keep that milo dust... worse than old school fiberglass. I'm itchy just watching this video.
If u like red so much u should replace the green equipment with some red.
Got a few million in your pockets to give him to do so?
Why’s you combine shaking so hard?
Does mom drive the truck and trailer or the box truck if that’s what it’s called👍🏻🇺🇸💫
Curt Weatherbee she can drive any of the trucks! 💪

And I thought bean dust was shit
First
