  • We finished harvesting 2023 earlage! We had to switch from using tractor and carts to using the dump wagon due to all the mud that we have.

    Except for the mud, what a wonderful season to be in. When the cold sets in, time to start the fire in the stoves and fireplaces. Comfort foods and freshly baked goods (I'm making hamburger buns this morning), snowscapes and fall colors. What could be better? Blessings for a safe, warm and productive week.

    I've been running up to Columbus OH. all week and I've been noticing that there's still alot of corn uncut, and was wondering about what you folks were doing with your corn sileage, And behold Rhonda puts up a video, perfect timing.
    So I guess the other corn fields I've been seeing is that it's not ready to be chopped yet.
    You folks have a Blessed weekend.

    Thank you Ronda, I enjoy your videos more than you know! I’d have to say watching Sanders drive that tandem as smooth as he did. Makes me think he might be the best driver I’ve seen in your videos. The confidence and smooth shifting is a hard thing to teach. He looks like a natural! McKenzie is a close second.

      But McKenzie can make the Jake brake talk!! She is not only good at it, it looks like she enjoys hearing that diesel bark! I was a little disappointed when she said they put some baffles on it. Farm kids are good at driving and on this farm it's all hands on deck. Sanders is doing very good at driving. Looks like he is getting good at shifting without a clutch.

    Sometimes when you can't get enough heat check the antifreeze level. I had that happen in a Freightliner before they put sensors to watch the water level. Just a thought. I don't know how new that truck is.

    • @MorganOtt-ne1qj
      @MorganOtt-ne1qj 11 місяців тому +2

      There might be a valve on the heater line that can be opened to circulate water through the heater core. Even if the fan is not working, you get heat in the cab. Something to look for, maybe.

    The field's were a mess over here also. Farmers were running doubles and triples tires on tractors to pull wagons. A couple farmers were helping others with their tracked tractors and harvesters in some really bad fields. Too much rain this fall, made harvesting tougher. 👍 Looks like the tandem dump truck could use a little TLC for heat and the drivers window. 😬

    well when you fed the deer, you get to eat them too. we got our first snow on the 29th of October mixed with rain so it didn't stick. had several nights below 0 so winter is here. is supposed to be 70 F. today. you probably are having to keep the grain cart pretty light to keep it from sinking into the mud. fun to watch Sanders packing with his tractor and the pup getting some loving. mud is not fun but drought is worse.

    Greetings from New Zealand … grew up on a sheep farm just out of Invercargill right down the very bottom ….put a pin on the world map you have in the house … Only found the channel recently and enjoy it … at that time was growing up (1950-70) we had two John Deere tractors … one was a 1928 model (32 horsepower) running on power kerosene the other was 1949 believe it was one the first to come out with electric starter

Grateful for what we can harvest when the year was a hard farming year since so hot & dry here. Love your videos.

    In 1985 I cut 2500 acres of canola with a 20ft swather on tracks and combined with a 760 4wheel drive combine. It took 3 years before we leveled out the feild and got a decent crop. 1992 we made ruts again with the 4 wheel drive combine but summer followed the next year to level it out. 1996 was once again a mess on half of our land and after 2006 I gave up cropping and put it all into hay mostly alfalfa and timothy with treefoil in the low spots and if it was wet at least the light equipment didn't rut it up as much. It's very heavy clay with strips and pockets of peatmoss

    With as many years as you struggle with wet muddy conditions and getting stuck, have you considered putting on floaters?

    • @MillerFamilyFarms
      @MillerFamilyFarms 11 місяців тому +2

      With all that weight you’ll still sink some. Also floaters are really expensive and ride rough. They don’t wear good on the road so you’ll just be replacing them too much. Honestly from what I’ve personally ran your better off with skinny duals, that’s my 2 cents

    Hi Ronda, I would like to offer a cheap way to really overcome the mud problem.
    Use a winch anchored to some piece of large machinery that can move to accommodate a straight line pull to a muddy area. It's going to be slow but it's bulletproof. You drag the cable to the stuck machine w/ a tractor or a Quad, hook on and pull finishing the row you were working. Kevin will know what to use as an anchor and a small gas powered winch w/ 100 feet or more of light duty cable should be all you need. You could always buy a tracked vehicle but it's expensive for such seldom use. ben/ michigan

    Hey, where's them there farmhands when the window and heat are broke? Actually, I wouldn't mind the cold but if the a/c doesn't work on the sweltering hot days with the sad choice of windows down and more flying dust or windows up and more swelter, that I would mind. Also, "I'll never say you're too close" is a very touching sentiment. If that is a true reflection of your life together then your lives must be pretty nice. Also, "probably", leaving the final decision to the cows, and Sanders straightening the walkie-talkie for the video were moments.
