Good message from the wife. Yes food is important. Thanks for feeding the farmers who feed us!
I'm a farmer in Central Kansas. Seems like it's a dry year from Texas all the way up through Canada this year. People are starting to swath and bale soybeans down here because there is no water to fill the pods. But I appreciated what Bob said "these are trials that test our faithfulness". That's so true. We need to be thankful for what we have, even if it isn't much and then move on. As farmers, we have to be, as Mike Mitchell says, "next year people". We just have to push through and hope that next year we will have a bumper crop. I think that's what keeps us farmers going is that anticipation for that perfect year with no hail, little wind, not too hot, not to cold, the perfect amount of rain and sun. I'm not sure if that year will ever come but I think the anticipation of that "perfect year" is what keeps us farmers going. Praying for you guys! Keep up the great content!
Ahoj kolego farmáři. Tvoje slova by se měla vytesat do kamene. Svatá pravda! Máš pravdu, jsme srostlí s půdou našich otců a dědů a pradědů a proto jsme věrní farmaření ať je rok špatný nebo dobrý. Zdravím Tě z Moravy .God bless
I think south Saskatchewan farmer had a decent crop…his millet crop was very good and I think the grain/oilseeds look ok
East central Saskatchewan here and we have had good timely rains here. Complete opposite of last year, we had next to nothing for rain last year.
Up here in Manitoba Canada almost a record year for rain so far. 24 inches I think.
At times in the last two years of wet season's flooding in Australia, quite a few farmers would have liked a bit less water, but then we've had many years of drought conditions and the ground water is being replenished at least.
Praise God for your faith! Without the trials we may never know His provision and His mercy!!! Love in Christ!
Things are tuff all up and down the plains states. Where I grew up in west Texas they didn't get one seed in the ground. Keep praying fir rain and relief 🙏 it will get better. Stay well and stay safe. From South Central Texas, God bless our farmer and Ranchers.
🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Mr Welker is a very wise man praying for y’all to have a good rest of harvest
I appreciate and admire your Dad’s testimony. I love that your channel proclaims the truth of His Word. I continue to pray God’s blessing on your family and your farm.
Thank you Mr. Welker for your witness! God wants us to trust in him through the Good times and Rough times. I Appreciate your family and the Love you have for one another. God has Blessed you with that alone. Thanks for the wisdom and will be praying for you and your family. God Bless and stay safe.
Sure is heart breaking when the crop comes up zero .Hope as the harvest goes on it will get better.😍👍👍👍
We went (here in south-central Manitoba, that is) from bone-dry last year to soaking wet at times this year. We had one rain this summer that dropped over seven inches of rain on us in less than six hours (and had a massive overland flood because of it), and some of the farmers around here have had to reseed TWICE because of excess water, and are now putting in claims against the one seed company for a third crop failure. They don't have much choice now to do that because they're facing minimal harvests again because the anti-insect coating the seed company chose to use this year didn't work, and bugs got most of their third seeding for canola, which was too late to get crop insurance because the insurance deadline for seeding canola and beans was the first few days of June, and nobody there would budge and extend the date for coverage due to the flooding. I have a couple spud farmers nearby, and the one fellow's likely lost 30% of his spud crop alone to excess water, and there's still places where there's water laying in the ditches and in the fields. I'm fourth generation on our farm, and Dad said he's never seen water laying around like this in his entire life, and he's been farming here since the mid-1970s. Other guys are saying they've lost pea crops to insects this year, and some of the scouting reports I've heard are saying there's bad cases of sclerotinia and club-root in the canola and the sunflowers that did make it.
Wee feel your pain, because the drought has been our biggest problem for the last three years or so, too. Our overall provincial cattle herd took it hard on the chin again last year, as we lost over 50k head to draw-downs and herd dispersals because of drastic shortages of feed across most of the province, and that after two previous years of low production for the same reason. Hopefully the rains get there, because I know a lotta guys up here who'd happily send you a few big rains so they could have a break.
As Canadian comedian extraordinaire Red Green always likes to say, "I'm pullin' for yah, because we're all in this together."
Great perspective on the testing of your faith. I appreciate your testimony. I'll be praying too. Praise God for what he has done and what he is going to do.
Love seeing the family meals in the field. Some of my fondest memories as a child were those meals. God does have a plan for all of us. God Bless you all.
Love your willingness to share your faith! God is good all the time.
Hey Bob , thank you for your faithfulness , our God will continue to bless your family in ways not yet revealed .
I pray for his continued blessings for your family .
Very nice video. Nice to see the women on the farm. Everyone is the backbone of making things happen. Excellent 👍👍👍
Things arent easy here in Finland for farmers also, energy crisis, high price of fuel and electricity is putting many farmers to quit. We are excepting very hard times in winter. My prayers to there also, you can do you part of farming best you can, but there is so much you have to trust God that all goes as planned.
You can blame your government for those hard times.
@@jamesb.8201 lol blame the farmers for ethanol in fuel.
You guys in Finland are going to really have it bad this spring. What a mess. Good luck to all farmers. We are ALL counting on them.
@@firstamendmenttshirt4768 blame you liberal Biden lovers for voting in a tyrant admin. Prayers to Finland and the sellers!
Perkele (the only Finnish I know oh and Suomi)
Good old Ethridge and Torgerson, they have what you need and when you need it, well sometimes
From one farm to another, we hope for the best for y'all. End of summer weather is making it difficult for us as everything is dying out before full maturity. Keep your heads up guys, lets all chug through the rest of the year and fingers crossed next year will be much better!
Man I feel for you guys with all the mechanical problems you're having and the low pea yield some of those fields. I sure hope things turn around for you soon. Your a close family and take care of each other. That in my book is the important thing.
This brings back so many memories, mom would bring out hot suppers during planting and harvest 1960-1990’s The smell in the car was unique, and unforgettable. Probably the best food I ever had.
You should see what it takes to pull the cab on the Fummins. I think you pull the master cylinder and ac compressor, then disconnect the water and CAC lines, and after that it’s just a few plugs and ground straps. Lift cab straight up, full access to the engine. And you don’t loose the AC charge or the brake bleed.
That's a fine perspective Mr. Welker. May we all pass our tests of faith.
Always thinking of you folks in Shelby. Praying for your family please have a safe harvest.
Continuing to binge watch. From a fellow Christian I loved your dad's testimony on faith . Were it so that more had the faith of your families. Sorry to see you having to deal with so many issues during harvest. Y'all's resilience and tenacity are amazing. God bless and love to y'all. P.S. wish I had Scott's physique again. Ah well, such is youth. Probably would if I worked on your farm. 😁
On the 12 valve, I would recommend putting a coolant bypass on it, it will keep the block around #6 a lot cooler. It is common for them to melt and go bad like that.
Good suggestion
Praying for your family to bare up and be able to go through all that God has planned for you.
The best part of Harvest!!! Field meals!!! Yaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Nice family. Great content! 👍 wish my kids were still young and liked combines lol 😆
Great to hear Dad talk about the importance of faith!!
Loved the extended Hello Fresh infomercial ! Quite the salesman you have on the farm !
Loved the comments about faith from Dad. So cool to see people talking about this stuff. This is what life is all about. 100%.
Amen
I follow several channels m here of big time farmers , and I must say that you 3 fellas and one other family farm are the only 2 of the channels that reference God and give thanks on ur show. We need to see more of that on this crazy and corrupt modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, world we live in. Thanks you Welkers for reminding us viewers of the importance of strong faith. Including myself, I wander away from it time to time. 🙏
Thankful you notice and that it helps bring our need of faith in the limelight. Thanks for watching!
Nick you are blessed with a wonderful family & operation. I know there’s always bumps in the road in farming however you guys do a super job. Thanks for sharing your life with us viewers.👍👍👍👍👍. 5 thumbs up dude.
The best farm video ever! Family, faith and beautiful. Praying for better yields for you guys. Thanks for sharing!
Man, those time lapses you allways do when you're repairing something make it look so easy😀.
I know how hard it is to work on the combines, in Heat and Dust and pressure to get it Rolling again before the next rain rolls in, and for sure I know how many bruises you "collect" from that.
Keep on the good work.
Best regards from an unnormal dry Germany.
Thank you Bob Welker...wise and true words. Yes, I am praying.
Nothing seems to run smoothly when it come to harvesting for you. Hope it a quick repair. Love watching your videos
You guys amaze with the knowledge you have of the operation of a combine and the header.
Persistence. Resolve. Faith. What every farm is grown with. Be encouraged. Enjoy your content.
Hey Welkers for the fummins when you put it back together put a coolant return from the back of the head where the water temp sensor is. Put a pipe t in and run a hose around and connect into your return line so you get the hot water from back of the head out.
Loved the family lunch session, Awesome guys.
Nice video good to see you're Dad in the combine and I am still praying for you guys!!! Hopefully he will answer your prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Faith and family will carry you through. That and amazing mechanical talents and work ethic. I learn from your story of perseverance.
Good to see meal prep. Nice segment. Bummer on no peas. Mr Bob that was good words!
Legarms ready to help more on truck repair. Enjoyed
Absolutely love seeing the family gather for dinner in the field. I really missing eating outside at the farm house.
I just drove through Shelby a week ago on vacation. I cant believe how dry it is in the west. I am surprised you are getting any crop at all. I hope all you farmers have a safe harvest season.
Bob I agree with you about faith! Perseverance is faith, faith that you can rely on your abilities and tenaciousness to get through anything that gets into your way!
Keep up the good work boys it’s in couraging to watch you guys work through all these difficulties and still have good attitudes
I could watch leg arms work on the Fummins in real time and still find it absolutely entertaining !
Heck.. I could watch both Nick and Leg-arms work on the combines in real time.. Mechanical work is entertaining !
Bob, I have a feeling that we are on Prayer waiting at the moment.. Its Like Call Waiting.. but the line is a little more busy.
12:00 Big Amen brother.. it is in times of great trouble and darkness that the light shines at its brightest! Look at the lighthouse.. 👍😉 love you guys😉👍
Taking stuff apart is is easy, it’s the puttin back that separates us. I’m in the separated group, ha.
LOVE the cooking section. Bless you all!!
I just want to simply say you guys are awesome... Praying for your harvest.
Mama Welker bringing the family fun to offset the bad shaft and splines! Leg arms saving Fummins is a bonus!
Dry here in NJ a bad year for my stuff too.
Maybe next year will be better
Very common problem up here in Saskatchewan. There’s a company that is making a new heavy duty kit
Good on you "Dad" God is good. Love the family atmosphere... God centred. I'm retired from fire rescue and love watching how Go blesses you all the boys both building , lovely families . I'll pray for you all too.
Bob giving us biblical wisdom…….” his ways are above ours”. Wise words my dear friend!
We will continue to pray for you folks as well!
Some people might think the men run the farms, as a forth generation farmer/rancher I can tell you with out any question without the women in our lives the whole opera would fall apart real quick. As a kid I looked forward to harvest dinners out in the field, but as a dad and now grandpa that’s as good as it gets! I’d be fine if you showed us more kids and less plied up gearboxes. Lol.
You girls are so
Lucky, you know how to cook and end up with everything done at the same time, me… 4 different things done at 4 different times….mom used to do that on the farm in North Dakota in the 50’s
Just sitting in church in Tailem Bend SA, listening to the pastor talk about faith and it reminded me of this video, thanks Bob for being real and challenging us Christians to give thanks and that our faith is only found to be real in times of testing 👍
Father welder, great words of wisdom on testing and our faith and the hail . Love you and your faith
Excellent words of wisdom- the Lord has a plan. Keep up the great work. You continue to have our prayers.
All prayers are answered sometimes just not the way we want them to be.. praying for some relief for y'all.
What a good dog, he did not beg when your family was eating dinner . My dog Charlie always conned me out of part of my baloney sandwich when I was helping dad in the field.
Oh he wanted to. Just get him in a closed cab and see how he stares you down when lunch box is opened
Great to see Mrs Nick & all the kids! Mr Bob, you were 💯 % about our faith. Our timing is not God's timing, He knows the master plan! Hang in there guys, God Bless
Praying you all have a safe harvest
I recall getting hailed out in I believe ‘83/84 just north of the line, and after all was said and done I think the Mustard came back great after 85% loss from the adjuster, yet I still don’t recall the crops being as shallow as y’all have this year.
I hope you guys have good moisture this winter and good rain in the springtime after seeding. You guys are due a good crop so badly. I’d love to see it. Dry land farming can be so challenging, yet you guys always maintain a positive attitude. Love the videos Nick.
PRAYING for you ALL , it's all in Gods hand . Have a SAFE harvest . 😀
Ur right brother Bob faith with out works is dead many BLESSINGS TO THE WHOLE FAMILY WELKERS ROCK 🙏🏻👍🙂
So sad the peas aren't yielding much if anything. Admire you guys for keeping such a great attitude. Enjoyed seeing lunch brought to the field as my mother used to do the same thing.
I envy your resolve and trust you all have as you rip into the guts of a very expensive combine or a pickup truck engine. I know you’ve picked up a lot of helpful experience from years of doing the same types of in-depth repairs. It’s got to be a good feeling to have the knowledge, equipment, and backup from your Dad and brother. Unfortunately, your “looking” at the problem to get it to self heal rarely works. Continue on with harvest 2022 guys. Great to watch you going at it.
That’s a good farm wife right there. Keeps the men rolling.
What a neat tradition with the family!!!
Very nice to see the ladies in your vids they should be in more and little ones too as it is a family thing farming bless you all and crops too
Oof, sorry to hear its getting rough. Heres to hoping it gets much better soon.
GM from Az awesome to hear your dads faith, perseverance and reliance on God. Continued blessings to you and the fam.Have a great day!
Scott amazes me with his mechanical abilities.
Thanks for sharing that family moment. Harvest meals are the best.
Thank you for sharing this video! Ahhh the farm wife, how I respect them! Can't be home for dinner, then shutdown in the field and have a family dinner! Totally fantastic! And no CELL PHONES, TABLETS etc! Absolutely love and respect your family! May God Bless! Keep your faith, keep the positive attitude you have! It helps me to do the same! Thank you!
feel bad for you guys this is the first year for us in central alberta that we seem to have had the best year for growing and nearly every field looks great. Nice change from drought years or late rains. keep at it guys.
Mr. Welker Sr. What you said about faith, I never thought about it like that. You opened my eyes to some things I have been struggling with. Anyway, thank you so much! You have a great family and great videos! God be with you all!!
Man, you guys make it look easy. lol Amazing that you were able to take on this difficult project yourself. Rock on!
We will continue to pray for you guys also want to thank leg arms for coming up with the coffee and the cup to go along with it. It's a great flavor and we purchased hats and shirts keep up the great videos and the hard work you guys are doing
Robert that is absolutely wonderful and spot on what you were saying about testings!!!
Haven’t had any rain here in Kansas this summer either… we are having to sell alot of our cattle due to no hay production. Things will get better. God bless you guys.
Prayers from North Florida.
Good reply to a simple but ignorant question Bob👍 When drought has claimed your livestock or your crop for 2 or more years, when you have had to put down livestock and sell of your breeders at a loss, when there is no income to pay the feed or seed bills from the last season, when the finance companies are starting to call around your 3rd or 4th generation farm, when you are looking for work off farm to support your family and bring food to the table perhaps spending weeks away from them, when faith is almost all you have left. Thank GOD you have FAITH. 🙏🕯💪 To all farmers out there.
Thank you for that testimony
Leg Arms it is nice to see you are able to take the F350 apart and know where everything goes when you put it back together. Hate to see the harvest is not going very well. That is tough to see you work all year and not get anything out of it. Try again next year and hope it works out. Best wishes
What an awesome family! God bless you all!
God bless you Mr. Welker for your steadfast faith and example. God always provides as He know what is best for us and what we need better than we know ourselves. What a beautiful family, thanks for sharing with us. Prayers continue. God Bless. Peace!
Best of luck, with the rest of the harvest to u and to all the other farmers around the world.
We all need u :P
Man that’s tough seeing your hard work just go out the window. They always said if your gonna be a farmer be prepared to stress
Beautiful family! Wishing you God's blessings.
Nice picnic in the field. Stay safe and healthy.
Great answer Mr. Bob! Our Father he knows what’s best for all! His promises are yes and Amen.
Awesome you have parts nearby, I live in remote Ak and some stuff takes a little bit 👍
When I worked summers on a couple old school farms in SD. Breakfast was before sunup, lunch at 11? Dinner at 3, and supper at sunset. Sorry but everything was scratch made and knock your socks off delicious!!! Pies cakes and ice cream oh my!
Those days ended with the farm crisis of the 80s :(
Running an 8010 here. Knew this was a wear area on the Flagship machines. Fixing ours with all new shafts, sprocket, chain and rock beater before fall harvest here. If yours hasn’t, please consider laser aligning your gearbox. There were some of those that would wear prematurely and needed the gearbox shimmed to be better aligned.
Looks like everyone enjoyed the Hello Fresh dinner in the field. I think we will give it a try. Bummer on the peas and the Fummins.
Wish I could make it to the farm progress show and meet you guys! Keep cranking out the videos! Hopefully the rest of harvest you don’t have to spend so much time turning wrenches on your combines from rocks
Wise words Bob Welker - "if you dont have a test, you dont know if you have faith". Scott, I've used the stare and wish method as well trying to will something to happen! I think we're all guilty of that once in a while. Best of luck on the meager harvest and thanks so much for making and sharing the content.
It's great to see the family eating out on the Prairrie.
