- We try harrowing before the seed drill to see how we like it. Typically we harrow after the seed drill to totally eliminate all the ridges. I show a preview of the JCB's new light bar at the end!

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.
Nice seeing the 76 and 4020 working together. Also nice seeing the old grain drill working. Brings back happy memories 🚜
The Furst harrow seems to do a much better job than a traditional harrow. Bet it is fun to clean at the end of the season.
Awesome drone shots Ryan great job!
Yes, he is the best at drone footage
@@fdelputte5755 I know!!
Loved your music during the drone, just down right relaxing.
Hey Ryan great video the drone footage was awesome. I didn’t know you wore glasses you look good with them 👍🇺🇸
Gee,someone in Wisconsin is putting seed in the ground 😳. Up here in Western Wisconsin not much is happening in the field 😳. Spring must be on vacation 😳. Everyone is getting sick of the cold weather!! We will just have to wait for Spring to get with it and warmup. Thanks 😊.
It was still wet but I just planted soybeans in Arkansas
Eastern wisconsin is the same way
Memories...riding on the back of the drill as kids,pretending we were stagecoach drivers,
Nice to see a field work video from you👍😉 the 4020 looks nice on that drill😁👍
@howfarmswork 9:22 - Thank you Ryan, you just solved my problem with the LED floods on the house. That was the electrical formula I needed to double check things!
Good luck with planting this year.
At least we know that seat won't be squeaky or loose air. Nice video
Much thanks Ryan...
Good job on the video production Ryan!
That must be a harrowing experience for you! :)
Great camera work and editing. Fantastic video
Awesome drone footage
That was some nice action shots on the harrow
Great video thank you Ryan
Very great video for the farm 🚜
Thanks love the video Ryan .
Nice music selection!!
Great awesome video video seeding and harrowing, I see you have the death trap on the jcb lol
Awesome Video as Always!!!
Good afternoon. 3/16 or 7 gauge expanded metal could be used for protection when using the brushcutter.
Be safe.
if you guys could do a video showing the different seed planters you use for your crops would be interesting model train table and I'm trying to figure out what seed planter you use for corn and wheat / soybeans
Have you ever considered investing in a roller? It will help for harvesting soya beans as well.
Cool seeing 4020 seeding ground and the 7600 harrowing....
Now these are the videos I enjoy. Great video Ryan I hope the 22 season is going good so far. Looking forward to more videos.
That harrow is sweet .
Nice vídeo I'm from Rio Grande do Sul - 🇧🇷
I personally wouldn't worry about hurting the seed with hitting them with the chain harrow after seeding grass or alfalfa. I put in a field of hay not to long ago and the farmer that did the seeding for me told me to hit it twice with a dimond harrow, which is made up of harrow gangs that have 2 inch spikes for moving the soil. The idea is not only to make the seed bed level but also cover up the seed better, ensure the most possible seed to soil contact and also spread the seed out for a more consistent spread and germination. We also hit the hay ground with a land roller to push down any stones and break up dirt clumps even more than what the harrows could do. My hay stand came up amazingly and the field was a pleasure to cut.
I planted wheat and oats In November as a cover crop it’s going to seed now but I’m in Arkansas
Nice video Ryan and great drone shots 👍
It makes sence to get the ground as even as possible, but you should not cut the gras as low as possible to the ground, the regrowth of the gras is much better when you are aiming for a cutting height of 3,5 inches... so in total the grasyield is around 10% higher per year per acre compared to a cutting hight of only 2 inches... please try it for yourself on a little hay field
greetings from a agriculture scientist
Good content. 👍
Very good video
Hello from North Florida! It is funny watching you wear a coat in the video ... 80s here ... t-shirt and shorts! I'm 76 years old and my old heart just doesn't like me anymore ... but doggone it ... I still can farm with you! Question please ... what/where is Miss Hannah? I always enjoy her smile and her happiness when you include her in the videos!
Hey Ken, most days Hannah is working, and she's planning to go back to school in the fall!
Great video!
We pull a crusher behind our grain drill always seemed to have nice flat fields
good stuff stay safe
Good job Men👌👍🙂
Its high time you invest in a land roller. You will be amazed how much more smooth the field will be in the end.
I was thinking this as well, but wondered if terrain is an issue. Rolling sure helps getting a cutter bar down low to the ground.
Great music
awsome video ryan thumbs up and shared
I would think using a finishing harrow before planting would work fine.
Maybe experiment with laying some heavy chain on that mesh grid to make it more aggressive so it absolutely shreds any plant debris that are in it.
I see a couple of rocks. We used to have a drill like that when I was a kid.
You guys need a roller to knock those ridges down
Oats making a comeback, we had a seed drill just like yours….but it was a CASE.
What variety of alfalfa do you plant?
Cold.wet here in. Michigan
But peaches are blooming
Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤️ keep those jhonny poppers rolling Woo-hoo 💯💯🐄🐄
love it 🍻🍻🍻
👍
Lovely little seeder. What model is it? Do you think a 32 hp tractor would pull it?.
hey Ryan with what your saying in you videos what is that in English not been on a farm in like 45 years other then that keep up the great videos you do Cam from Alberta Canada
What if you hook a little cultipacker behind the drill?
Where Hanna been am sure we all miss her
What kind of drone do you have and what editing software do you use
Any reason for not using the wheelman in the 7600 for harrowing?
Is Kuhn adjusting it's equipment sharing arrangement with you for channel sponsorship or is it just extreme short supply due to on going supply chain issues?
It has to do with supply chain issues. I know that they can't send things out the door fast enough. We'll be lucky to get a mower this year.
4020 tractors just never die
Ryan, please educate me. What is seeding vs. planting? Seeding hay? Planting corn/beans?
When we refer to seeding, we usually mean small grains like alfalfa and oats. Planting usually refers to corn/soybeans.
@@HowFarmsWork Thank you Ryan!
Hey Ryan!! What does alfalfa cost now? Afraid to hear. That light bar is bright. You'll be working all night long now. Have a great weekend.
During winter snow work one will need sunglasses at night. ;)
@@larrybe2900 True! Lol
Hey Darrin, alfalfa cost has typically been around $250/bag but I'm not sure what it was this year as I didn't seed any myself.
@@HowFarmsWork I remember thinking $100 a bag was bad. That was probably 10-15 years ago.
Ryan how do you keep your wheels so yellow? Not faded or stained
We keep everything shedded
I m from India
Which transmission best power reversar or gear pro coller shift for agriculture purpose
Hi ryan
Is that a new tractor on the farm 🚜
Not yet!
I though seeding was another word for planting !
It is, but when we say seeding we're usually referring to small grains vs corn or beans
@@HowFarmsWork thanks for explaining 🙏
Wow, 28 pounds of alfalfa to the acre is really heavy even if you do lose some of the stand. Normally alfalfa has 10% hard seed that does not grow until the next year which is why when you said alfalfa seeds itself that is why, unless you let the alfalfa seed out which makes for ever poor quality hay. Putting oats with the alfalfa can be tricky, going straight alfalfa normally will give you the best results especially if you plant over 2 bushels an acre of oats that oats can sometimes smother the alfalfa if there is not adequate rain to feed them both.
So have you ever wondered how grain drill engineers thought that every farmer would enjoy stopping every 4 acres to refill the grass seed box?
When this drill was made, that's all that was needed for a full day!
why do you farm in such weird shapes?
It helps to prevent water run off.
Cause that shit should be pasture
The more you plant per acre, the more you're going to see plants competing with each other for nutrients and sunlight. 12 -14 pounds per acre sounds about right.
