Its so very nice to see a millennial farmer and a Larson Farm video in the same day can't wait for the next one Chet
You'll get there. Weather is what it is!! Great video
Try the "10th Generation Dairyman" too.
You guys are ALL MY FAVORITES
Absolutely love Dougo’s comment about hire kids to pick them up* oh that’s right they don’t work anymore*
Couldn’t be more spot on , I love and never miss a video.
Fellow farmer from Nicollet County
Things have sure changed. We worked hard and stayed out of trouble. My folks had a saying. Better a belt on your caboose than your neck in a noose.
You guys have taught Eric very well
I DIG DOUGO!!! Who AGREES with me ?
Dougo and his wisdom is unspeakably great. Back when I was growing up (same age as DOUGO), we would hire 10-15 school kids on a Saturday to hand pick rocks. We used an old IH 806 to pull a hydraulic hay wagon to throw the rocks on as we walked behind it until it got full. Almost like good ole days of bailing hay but just not as fun. Always a good video with Dougo.
My grandparents used the phrase ‘dickens of a time’ also. Thanks for bringing the memory back!
Hello Chet, I've been watching your channel for the last 3 years and really enjoy them. I'm from the UK and we have a very wet spring making things hard. I guys are awesome, thank you for sharing what you do
Doug’o, rock picking was how I purchased my BMX bicycle back in late 70’s. Kids today do not know the enjoyment of working for first of anything. BTW, I was making 3 dollars per hour and loved doing it!
Dougo needs his own channel! Brilliant wisdom and humor. Whether he means it or not. Also the wide slots on the rock picker? Sounds like a good winter project for one of the boys to weld in some rebar and narrow up the slots. Pick up smaller rocks.
Dougo and Randy, You have a Great crew working on your operation. I know you pay them for their time but I hope that you realize how lucky you are. Loyalty and respect build ownership in your work. And you have achieved that with everyone that’s on your farm.
Hope All Stay Safe and Well.
I totally agree they are respectful they do a good job and they care about whether it's done right or not !
Good to see the big Swede and Dougo!
The only thing you guys don’t have is a portable rock crusher . Could make your own gravel with all those rocks x
Simply impressive how everyone knows their job and it gets done. Chet? You always amaze me pal. What a work ethic kiddo. Dad must be so proud.
Why are people always so impressed with farm/country peoples work ethic and know how?
@@gregjames5070 Because the city folk don't have a clue ,they don't understand farmers don't look at it like its work ,its just something that we have to do and the job has to get done and thats it thats all. I hated the day we had to sell our farm ,one of the worst days in my life ,I work in mining now ,same work ethic as farmers , doesn't matter what the job is.Its getting done and thats all. Most people don't understand what real work is or what it involves, it's sad it really is.
Cidiots!😅
. What's really really sad is when people who think what they do as work is harder or more important than the work of people in the city. But yes, some people like you dont have a clue.
@@davidwheeler7503 I have forgotten more than you will ever know .Farmers feed a nation that's pretty important, what do you do that is so important ,You a surgeon or a doctor that saves lives ,even they haver to eat. Farmers work hard for people to survive ,so that they can survive. Its a different life style for a farmer ,like I said city people don't know what is involved you are obviously ignorant to the fact.
Full send!! Dougo says, “FULL SEND!”
I never thought we would have a wet spring like this here in MN. We had only 2 weeks of winter, so I thought it was going to be a nice early planting season this year but I was wrong. Maybe this is the price we have to pay for the lack of a winter. I hope the weather straightens out so we can get our last 2 fields planted.
Same in Michigan.
"Well, we'er ahead of that progress." Dougo, the modern day Yogi Berra. The best.
Great video. I hope you guys get sleep when you can. Wish you the best. Still better than television.
So much fun to see the trials and tribulations of the Haybuster. I used one while farming in 1981-1984. Sometimes thought I spent more time replacing O rings on the motors than picking until we figured out how to seat them correctly.
Good to see you are finally able to get in the fields.
That was a close one on the rock picker. Glad you were there to save me.
That Salford digger is really doing the business, prayers that the rains stay away for a few days longer to allow you to get some crop in the ground. All the best to everyone at Larson Farms.
Love ❤️ ❤ me some Larson Farms videos!!! I hope and pray that y’all get all of your crops in and rat y’all have a bountiful crop this year 👋👋Hey Dougo we love you 👍👍you ROCK !!
When dougo looks at the tire😂😂
Baie professioneel. Dankie
Anyone else going to be severely bummed when plant 24’ is over😂😂? Good for them bad for us!!!!
Keep up the great work and jokes dougo😂😂😂😂
Always a great video with Dougo, Erik & Chet!
No Chet, don't puke about those imperfect conditions please. Wow Big Swede, that beeper is really obnoxious. One good hammer blow should put a stop to that, or wire cutters anyway. Thanks for great ride out there in the rocks and dirt and debris on the haybuster rock digger. Rock-Eze won't grab those smaller ones - hire a Boy Scout troop? Love the way Dougo always looks right and left before truning in the field with the Polaris, as if there might be traffic coming from any direction - safety first! Uses turn signals too maybe? Seed, variety is the spice of life, so now what's for dinner boys? Great video as always, thanks.
weld some vertical bars across the horisontals on the roller to trap more of the smaller rocks
Hey Dougo, my wonderful grandmother use to say dickins, but that was usually what we were going to catch when we goofed off. Her other saying was "by gully", whatever that was.
By gully, you boys don't stop goofing off you'll catch the Dickins. Follow by her wonderful laugh.
She's been gone 36 years and I still remember her as sweetheart of a gramma.
16:00. True statement, Doug! Well said.
Chet u take a lot off Dougo mine the way you handle everything on the farm! God bless your family n all farmers!🙏🏻
I'm loving these long videos again it's nice
Nice video, hope it stays dry a few days, so the planting gets done
Doug saying about the dust in the side by side reminded of the Childhood school bus made me laugh 😅
Doug said he was proud of me…….(holding back the tears.). Lol.
He’s like the modern day Mr. dress up !
“ you’re learning so much….. and I am so proud of you”.
I know I say it a lot, but you guys are a great team and do a terrific job. 👍❤️
Love the content. Keep up the good work and thank u for all u do
Chet, thank you for the tutorial on ground conditions. That was seriously interesting, gives a different slant on "it's wet", I'm getting better at judging different conditions, but I have to say I love the Salford machines.They seem to be very well built and do an excellent job of work (NOT SPONSORED!). I loved the view as you took the Polaris along side the Salford.Thanks once again from UK.
Great video, I love watching the soil getting worked!
Chet and his wife need to make you some rock Pickers!
We have been getting crazy rains where I live. I'm not a farmer, but my damn grass/weeds are growing so fast you can hear them stretch. Good luck and I hope things get better every day.
Love dugos joke about the little kids 😂😂😂
Oh but so true
We finished planting Saturday and now we're needing a rain, while about 45 minutes SW of our farm they had a bad hailstorm, I heard 5" sized hail, hit a town and powers out there, about 2-3 days they were saying to get power back.
You guys should use all the rocks you pick on the tile drain outlets. It’ll help with unwanted erosion!
Love Larson Farms videos. Always entertaining. Some post are just to long.
Weld ya some Smooth Rod in between every other Bar Dougo!
Doug’s reaction to the bad tire on the hay buster was priceless😂
Y’all should buy a rock crusher with the amount you dig up. then that way you could make your own gravel for the yard…
Glad to see ready to plant. Stay safe!
You guys should check with Millennial Farmer on the rock picking issue. He hired a company that has an automated, GPS driven system for identifying, locating and guiding the machine to, by field. It can tell you exactly how many rocks and their size are on the surface in any given field. Their specially equipped skid steer picks them up in no time.
Chet had the GPS rock picker guys on a video.
Wet side hills. From listening to my uncle's discuss this yrs ago. My understanding is the dirt above the frost line is loosened by the frost oh so slightly. But the soil below is much more compact and with heavy rain the moisture is held in the top soil.
Soil below the frost line is just a little
Sorry Dougo, I laughed at your expression when you saw chunks of the tire missing on the rockpicker. Late planting and lots of bad tires this spring...
Love our Salford cultivators. Have had 3.
Hope you gents got.the seed in the ground. God Bless.
Those small rocks you pick with the haybuster make excellent driveways. We put about 2-3 feet of those small field stone then some gravel. We built 800’ of 20’ wide driveway that has about 4’ of rock and concrete chunks
Doug, regarding the rock situation, get a rock crusher and turn them into gravel for the driveway overall probably save a little money if you also use some of the neighbors also, maybe a community project??
Keep digging guys thanks for the videos you all do a great job with them
Dougo's line about hiring kids had me dying, laughing 😃 so much!!! Another great video 📹. Keep up the work fellas.
Thanks for sharing
awsome stuff watching you guys get your game on be safe god bless
I suggest you guys to plow the the fields once every 3 years it will make significant changes against the water puddle
Put a slider window rear windshield in it'll suck the dust out
In Canterbury in NZ they grow the best yielding wheat in the world. Just a few miles away they grow best stones too. Alluvial country from shifting riverbeds. In between the stones beautiful soil. Stone picking or pulvirising is so expensive. I like you picker because its low impact and low horsepower. We have a couple of massey headers and i would have loved to repurpose the 760 to harvest rocks. Just as a lifter, bin and conveyor. Trouble with picking is all the stopping to unload. About 40% time no picking. Problem is economics. If it cost $2500 acre to pick clean what returns does that generate. So mostly farmers heavy roll hay fields, light roll low pickup seed fields and cereals dont bother. For all the stones we had big ones simply stopped header infeed at the clutches, dropped into stone trap or went thru. Sure a few got sections and fingers or lifters but we managed. Last harvest the mower dropped a blade in the ryegrass. No big deal. A few days later the header lifted the blade, went thru combine and got right thru to the returns rethresher. The cast iron drum didnt like it and spat the dummy. Fortunately had a spare drum for a 1977 machine in the shed and all good. The machines are now all retired, farm not making enough return and farmer retiring, rented out the beautiful ground and its now feeding cows and calves for dairy industry.
Don't be too hard on yourselve @bigswede I recall you you working some 40 hour days during harvest and previous seeding time. Rest up and push when ya need to.
Doug we've used a neighbors hay buster
My back really appreciates the job it does.
We have used field rock for base for field approach
A little gravel on top well you know
Good luck with planting from SW Wisconsin.
I thought you guys were going to start working on changing your irrigation stuff, inputting a new tile system in, and maybe tying it into the existing one, or at least replacing it you need to get that fixed so you can get good drainage for your fields. I know it takes a lot of money though, based upon your field how much money would it cost to get all of them fixed that’s the only way you’re going to get a good crop is to get those tile lines put in place permanently and look at the existing ones if you can, and time in. If they’re not damaged, but if they’re so old. I do wonder how much it would cost to turn them completely out in inches onto new ones, but I guess this is why farmers don’t take the account to look at how much is going to cost to remove them. They just end up playing new ones right next to the old tile lines so many times, maybe it is more cost-effective than just trying to tear off the old ones, and yet I wonder if it’s best to tie into the old ones at times and lay in a new style.
I do know it takes a lot of money for tile work because of all the machinery and fuel and whatnot, but I do wonder what your guesses and feelings are on alternative energy programs. I’m wondering if you guys are eventually going to do what California is forcing there for us to do to go all-electric for their equipment what do you think about all of these new electric farming equipment that is coming around personally I like the old standby, and everything means like it used to be but I guess changes about to occur, whether we like it or not, are you prepared for these kind of changes for having electrical equipment 100% that’s the way it’s going for farms nowadays especially demanding California eventually end up being demanding throughout the whole united states and Canada.
Sincerely!
R.S.V.
Chet & DougO, you’ll have to watch the recent upload from the Millenialfarmer, He had a fella fly his drone over their fields pointing out all the rocks and could siffer the size of the 10”, 12”, etc, etc then he would take his bobcat out with its fancy gizmo mounted on the bucket and pick up those bigger rocks, farming has come along way from when my uncle paid us .25 a hr. to walk his fields picking up rocks
They did do that a few videos/weeks ago.
I remember back when I was a kid we used to pick rocks by hand. And there was no machinery involved. And we had 54, Quarters of line.
Try and demo a canam! Very happy with cab sealant
Another great video ,thanks for all your info on everything you are doing and the reasons why
Well look on the bright side at least Eric doesn't have to get the firehouse out to clean the tractors off
I’m disking a cornfield now that has fire hydrants in it
Could be a aquifer. Take a scoop out with the excavator - if it fills with water in an afternoon, put a tile there. (Put a camera on it and time how fast it fills - a metric for future tiling. ?)
Really like to hear what Steve would have to say😎👍🏻
Put them in the ditches or around the ponds. Those hills and valleys and slopes in the hills don’t dry to well after it rains.We our trying to get all our hay and straw in and no till the fields for corn and soybeans. Because we have rain coming in most of this week. Doug ,the rocks our coming out of the sides as well as under it.
It would great if you could turn the dirt as the sun just started hitting it and have all day to dry. Hopefully the Dew Point won’t negate your hard work trying to dry out. I hope you’re seeding soon.
Good Luck, Men
good to see the Big Swede
Dickens was from England, wrote most of his life from London. HC Andersen was here from Denmark
Hey Dougo, here ya have it.
In the phrase what the dickens, dickens was “was a substitute for ‘the devil,’ or the deuce (a card or a dice with two spots), the doubling of the devil in short,” author John Bowen explained in his book Other Dickens: Pickwick to Chuzzlewit. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the word back to a work by Thomas Heywood published in 1599
The Good Lord is in control, all we can do is go with the flow!!
water follows gravity... in two ways - Into the soil profile or off the slope.. Dig down in a wet spot and check soil profile for Panning....
Dickens refers to the devil. Have a devil of a time. AKA A bad day. Great show guys. Congrats on the new family member Brody
"Dickens" lead me down that rabbit hole too, I had also heard the phrase "colder than the dickens". Now I know ;
There’s a very simple answer to this. “Dickens” was originally a euphemism for the word “Devil.”
In times past - and even now - there have been some people reluctant to directly reference the devil. And in fact, people who also regard using words like “hell,” “God,” “Jesus Christ” as exclamations in everyday conversation as something they don’t like to do, have, over time, developed euphemisms that they find acceptable. So they may say, “This is a heck of a mess,” or “Oh my gosh,” or “Jeepers Creepers.”
Your channel's commitment and sincerity are truly special. Congratulations
Thought all the porn bots were gone...guess I was wrong
You guys could use some of that peat soil from up in the north west corner of your state.
Nice to see you guys in short sleeves Jesus I couldn't live up there in that cold
Dougo, when grandpa used to cultivate with the John Deere 2020, I used to ride in the bucket and pick rocks. I got a nickel a rock. My price has increased to a buck a rock if interested.😂
Have you ever thought of getting a tele handler, it would then mean you don’t need that loading boom, you could load straight into the hopper
Eric you can use last pass on your viper and auto steer your headlands also
I’d love to watch if Chet or Dougo played Farming simulator for an episode.
You could have got seriously hurt haha awesome seeing the hay buster work
Love the real world wildlife products shirt!
Oh no i hope my englisch is not too bad but, we have a stone picker too and your dad is driving it with most too far rpm or if this is the wrong therm.. to fast... the stones will fly over the picking unit greatings from austria
Great video guys. Thank you so much
Big stone county big harvest of rock
I am in the concrete business and just like farming, Mother Nature rules sometimes.
Chat, I so appreciate what you do Hopefully, you learn from your grandfather when technology doesn’t exist how you’re going to continue to farm it would be interesting to do a series on how your grandfather and your father actually Farmed Just saying, appreciate you where our food comes from
Have a look at a Elho scorpio, stone picker
Watching all them Boyz everyday
Hoping for a tractor review from
Dougo
