Harvesting a RECORD wheat crop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- It's a hot crop to harvest this year. Early planting as well as favorable moisture & weather conditions helped the region to pump out a record wheat crop.

We're a sugar beet farmin’ family in the Red River Valley of North Dakota!
Our farm specializes in growing sugar beets, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, corn, soybeans, and various types of dry edible beans. The legacy currently consists of my dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, and I (Beet Farmin Mitch).
I am a 6th generation family farmer recently graduating with college degrees in both Agricultural Economics and Crop and Weed Sciences. Enjoy as I showcase our operations everyday work, grow as a young farmer, be a goofball, and walk out the most important thing to me. My love for King Jesus!
My hope is that you may be entertained and spurred on to grow in your passion and knowledge for all things agriculture!
Jak se máš! (Czech for "How are you?")

Great video and appreciate your heart toward God. Blessings on you all!
The farm looks like such a serene and peaceful place
Haha, not everyday, but most days!
“Flat as a piece of lefse “!!! Yup, you are a son of the Red River Valley.
Love your farmin' and your faith.
The Corn Farmers down in Alabama are mounting large plastic water tanks (200 gal?)on the from of the grain cart tractors with 12v pumps with 100' industrial 3/4 or 1" water hose with spray nozzle for FIRE PREVENTION in case a combine catches fire.
Book of James is a favorite!
Keep on farming Mitch
I enjoy your content and am so glad to see you glorify the Lord
We need more of this in today's world
More to come! Thank you Mark!
Made me switch off. I'm not a fan of god botherers
Glad you whipped the wheat harvest to a record , but now wishing you beat the beet harvest record. 👍👍👍
It’s looking like it! Kind of a double edged sword though! If we produce too many in our coop we will have to leave a percentage.
I love the sounds those combine displays make - sounds like an old arcade game
So happy for you all to have such an amazing harvest. Pray that the wheat prices don’t collapse with the abundance but there’s little to be done about it. Still, take the blessings as they come. Love the inspirational message you’re providing, we all need reminders.
I was surprised that you had only one combine going and only one truck. I am not a farmer but from out west, Alberta. When it combine time you see at least 10 working.
Appreciate the scripture readings. Yeah, I remember getting plenty of nice meals in the field. Although, we did not have cabs like they do today. We had open-station tractors. So, we either sat in the pickup truck or under a shade tree to eat our meals. Sometimes, depending on what we were having, we would get things wrapped in aluminum foil, and set them somewhere on the engine to cook for a while. Got to be a pretty good cook. (Ha!Ha!)
That’s true, having cabs is super nice. But I do miss the tailgate suppers on the edge of the field. We haven’t had a good one in a while, but I like to have one a year around the end of wheat harvest. Probably won’t happen this year due to the rain pressure and trying to get the crop off. Maybe during pintos!
Looking great harvest there Mitch thanks for feeding the USA and for putting out videos for us to watch.
My go-to Beet Farmer
lol that’s what I hear.
Hats off to you for listening to the word of God and harvesting at the same time
A Great Looking Crop! Yall are Blessed!
Thanks!
Our meal was a fried bologna sandwich. About a 10 minute break and back to the watermelon field
Beautiful drone coverage. Man, you have a lot of trucks. They also looked beautiful.
Beautiful drone footage, Mitch
Great message/great video! Thanks for sharing! God bless you and your family! 🙏♥️👍
Love the book of James. Thanks for the good faith filled content
Very Nice Indeed 👌
Great opening footage…also love to see this beautiful harvest.. MAY GOD watch over you and all the farmers and pray for safety.
Thank you Tom! Appreciate you!
Glad you are getting records yields but the bad side is the liw prices most of the time on wheat
This is true they are on the weaker end right now.
Hello from Michigan, looks like the Red River Valley would be a good place to visit.
It is underrated if you love agriculture!
Im Catholic and i use to go to church 4 times a week and a double service on Sundays.
Yeah ! You are a Christian like me. Who hoo! I subscribed a week ago and was hopen.
Great channel and content......maybe where the tree was down was that unharvested corner they were required to leave in the Old Testament in the book of Ruth!❤
Mitch, Jsem v pořádku, děkuji.
Just found your channel. No women in the current Legacy? But excellent Video. You have done well on the Academic side, however, with the rapid development in not only in the sciences of growing crows but in the advancement of IT and new technologies in farming equipment will need a concerted effort to keep ahead of the game.
Looks like the Load Line is full up...right a 80,000;)
10:50 it is beautiful sight
Great job young man, kudos on the wheat crop. Y’all take care and God Bless, looking forward to beets, brings back memories 🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸
Praise The Lord!
There’s being religious but this dude takes it too a whole other level. I wonder if they give a guy a heads up about it when they are looking for help? I would be more tired from constantly making sure I didn’t cuss than the long days.
Haha, I’m all in indeed!
Although you won’t hear me swear, I don’t mind if the guys I work with cuss. I take em as they are! We’ve gotta great crew.
Raa My dear friend, it is wonderful. I want to work and volunteer with you.
Our wheat average was 135 bushel per acre and a couple fields was 150 bushels per acre then we planted double crop soybeans. Our agronomist is saying we're gonna average 150 on beans and 340 on corn.
I have an urge for a bowl or Wheaties.
BFM; thanks again for another excellent video of yours.
Those 45 foot heads are a nice size.
I was thinking that crop lifters would help greatly to lift that down crop up to the sickle.
Google crop lifters if you are not familiar with them.
We used to have them on a case 1010 header. I don’t think they make them for macdons but I could be wrong.
Mitch, I am guessing a lot of you views do not know what it means when you say "it's getting tough".
Thanks for the video.
Good point! It means the grain is running rough through the combine and not smoothly. It happens at the end of the day when the sun goes down. It rumbles more and can plug the machine easier.
Great content thank you, just came across your channel today. I also love listening to the bible or podcasts in the tractor cab here in the UK, it’s a great way to keep your faith strong and centred on Jesus while doing your work :) God bless you brawd !
Thanks for your witness, Do you have much trouble calibrating the 3 combines together for mapping?
Great question! I have our GPS planting lines loaded into all the combines. I used AFS connect (Case software) to transfer them. We run the same lines but we have to remark every pass as they do not line up with each other perfectly. I think Case has some new software and whatnot for that but it’s not a big deal to remark for now.
How many acres do you guys farm?
I am from the East Coast, so everything’s pretty out here
Unless I missed it, what’s the explanation of the lodged wheat again?
Haha ur in the nice part of nd the flat and no rocks part 😅 I'm north of devils lake in the hills rocks and slough ground 😂
Oh yeah! Rocks are about as rare as a stop sign out here! We have them but there’s not many 😂
Also, I find it fascinating how much of Devils lake used to be farmland and is now flooded. Kind of wild.
You guys farm much around Veseleyville,Voss area? I'm the guy you mentioned in your vid about the grain bin😂love the videos keep them coming
i missed it I reckon…how many bushel/acre?
Are you having any problems with falling numbers in your area? In the southern valley after our 2 inch plus rain it is a big problem
No, we haven’t on our farm yet. Still have a few acres to go, it’s very common in our area though.
Mitch, if you don't mind me asking you, how many acres of wheat do you grow-?
God bless.
👍👌❤🇨🇦
For some more impressive wheat farming videos in the hilly Palouse area of Wa; state, check this one out as well as others of his titled,
Steep hills and harvesters sliding on soft ground
I’ve seen some wild photos from out there.
May I ask what denomination your faith is? Mine is nondnominational, I'm a 78 yr old born again rapture ready Christian man from west central Mn. Can't wait to go Home and see my wife again! Nicely done videos Mitch, God bless you and yours! Ron. I'm retired from agriculture.
I believe he's in the AFLC (Association of Free Lutheran Congregations). The church he shows in the intro is AFLC. He also had the AFLC hymnal on a bookshelf behind him in one of his videos.
How’s the protein?
Lower than normal, anywhere from 11.5-14%.
Spring or winter?
Spring
How many acres are in that field your are cutting-?
First field is 80, then a 40, then a quarter. Trees and yards make it less than that though.
And then he starts talking about God and goodbye... weirdos
