Thanks for another great video Brian. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for explaining the importance of the dryer and the cost of running it when drying down corn out of the field. Your dryer costs are a lot cheaper than I would have thought. Thanks for going over that with us. Was interesting. Bin and dryer setups are great too have but take a lot of time to maintain and keep running good. Your double crop seems to be going pretty good. Putting a new sickle blade in the header will certainly help cutting the crop. Believe you said when the double crop is done you have harvest for the year done. Yeah!!!!!!! Glad you can do the climbing on the grain bins to check to see how full they are. Too darn high for me. Heights like that would not work for me. Wow. Thanks for everything Brian. You all take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

You can’t count shrinkage as loss because it’s water, it’s there free of charge, if you stored it wet it would go mouldy then you loose the lot. Secondhand car salesmen are amateurs compared to grain merchants! Its in the small print.

Brian great video enjoy watching your content what is going to be the replacement Tractor for the Challenger Tractor your selling? Happy Thanksgiving

We still have have corn coming in with 30% moisture + When we are done drying there's just a ¾load left of a full load😂

We run a triple stake gsi dryer

Very informative Brian really enjoyed it.

Mornin 👋🏻

Thanks

9 to 10 an acre is that even worth it. We have a few guys that double crop over here in Indiana. Our farm does not.

As soon as I saw that coffee on top of the bin with you , I knew it was going to come to grief.

Hi Brian. Will Kayla ever drive anything tractor or truck on or off the farm or has she off camera. Seems she would be a great help when she is not teaching. Expand her horizons. Have you thought about a bigger truck with a camper on it to haul the fuel trailer. Hot coffee and microwave for hot meals small refer for water and soft drinks not to mention Facilities. Just a thought.

this looks like TETRIS for profeshenals

Dockage, shrinkage, rookage, and tookage leaves barely enough to drive home and get another load!!!

The first time was cool being there, but then realizing how crazy ridiculous as people safety things are when constructing stuff it’s a little ridiculous

Which green elevator do you take your stuff to the Cargill in Washington courthouse? If so, I’m sure it’s cool place to be when delivering grain. I hated working there though when pouring concrete.

Drying at home also allows you to save on storage charges and market at your decision!

See the air coming out. 🤣🤣

👍

"If it don't it wont" " If it don't fix it thats not our problem" " just buy a whole new trailer" 😂😂😂 that's science

My dad grew up with Ronnie Mingua, i noticed the jerky in the door at the 5:24 mark. I live in central KY where he makes it. Interesting character and story. Ive enjoyed your vids for several seasons, stay safe and blessed.

Commenting: To the Brown Family : Please allow this city sleeker to express gratitude for the fact that you are graciously let us witness the travail of your sacred labour with its struggles pain and fruit and rewards. As a transplant form a less blessed land, your channel is continually inculcating into my soul the ethos, the meaning and the Spirit of being American with every video. Thank You. God bless you all. God Bless America. God Bless God.

If you are drying the corn at your facility there really shouldn’t be a whole lot of shrinkage because you have already have done that so wouldn’t the numbers be lower? You calculated the shrinkage cost the same for the 18.4 and 15.5 not sure if I’m thinking correctly or not

One of the things that makes your channel so good is how you go into specific details. Very nice explanation on shrinkage of corn and how all the elevators take an extra profit every chance they get. Now imagine a grain elevator dumping 100 truck per day. On average moisture their pocketing another $ 20,000 per day. Around here on an average year we're probably taking corn off closer to 23% moisture.

People who have never farmed have no idea the amount of planning that goes into raising a corn crop. From Selecting varieties (early vs late), (Flex ear vs fixed), (short vs tall), population rate, Non Gmo vs GMO, gmo traits, fertilizer rates, type of fertilizer (NH3 vs Liquid 28), (liquid starter vs dry fertilizer broadcast or row placement), fall applied chicken manure, pre emerge herbicides, post emerge herbicides, fungicide treatments, etc etc. Not to mention location to your buyer. If the buyer is an elevator, feed mill, seed supplier or ethanol plant. All have different requirements and may require forward contracts to accept delivery of grain. Farmers must plan the harvest of the crop before they have even plant it. This is why farmers are some of the smartest individuals on the planet. They forward plan and make contingencies for every possible outcome all while dealing with mother nature. God Bless everything u do Brian.

Oh hell, Brian dont let daddy clown star on that bin !!!!

Great video good to see y'all

You buy your coffee cups by the case or truck load? Curious minds want to know

Awsome farming 😊

Great video! Appreciate the info, gives us a better understanding of things and costs.

Liked the figures on drying.

I think Brian needs a go fund me to buy a go cup. Like if you agree.

Before the famous million bin site was built Cole went through all of these numbers. He came to the same conclusion that you did. Problem is he picked the wrong bin company.

I call it tookage!!!!

Corn shrink is like getting out of a cold pool.... Smaller when it dries, just ask George Costanza. The worst part is that the grain will have shrink in the bins, because you can't maintain perfect moisture for months. Great video, and really great explanation of the economics.👍👍

Enjoyed the video Brian! Kayla is so fun. God bless you all an BJ and pappy.

Really a great video! Thank you as always for your time to create and share this with us.

Smart choice to use a head trailer to move the bean head instead of using their transport system much faster

all elevators used to kill us on dockage and moisture was terrible Brian

Good video

Great explanation

Best video I’ve watched of yours. Ty for giving a detailed breakdown of your cost vs savings on drying.

Appreciate all your videos and hard work!

On farm storage is good investment! Curious if some of your personally owned land would be suitable to try some drip irrigation?

Where did you get your on farm drying cost of 6 cents/bushel?

I know that people who live in cities and buy an acreage in the country don't like it but a cattle feedlot, or hog and chicken buildings benefit the grain producer. The corn and soybean basis is always better near places where animals create demand.

I remember a couple of years ago another farmer going over difference between drying at an elevator compared to doing it on farm, and your number were close to what they thought thier low end loosing out on. As I think the numbers they mentioned was 40,000 to 120,000 a year. If thier figures were right it wouldn't take long to pay for a dryer and a bin or 2 especially when you can hopefully pick the best time to put it on the market

Good stuff

why is the shrinkage different between the two equations?

Always great videos. Thank you for producing great shows about real farming situations. Look forward to the next one.
