Nope and she's still hard at it, they don't make'em like they used too! Thank you!

Good question! As if you didn't know😋

Que quieres decir con que no entiendo lo que intentas decir? Tu no habla englis?

This is in Wyoming, I'm not officially allowed to say the nearest town.

As long as your animals know they are apart of the family then usually they won't hurt each other especially if they're all loved and treated well. You do have to be precautious of certain critters tho, I love my cats but I don't trust them with small animals especially birds. Thank you for watching! Love from the USA!

If you're talking about the rehaul trucks as in this video then it's because they're belly dumps which means when they release the contents of the trailer it unloads between the axles instead of raising the bed and emptying thru a back gate. They drive over a pit that allows them to dump the load down into it. I will post a barly unload to put it into a better perspective for you. I hope this helps and thank you for watching😊

They've done it before but because the box was totaled and the machinery was already there, it was easier and got the farmer rolling again much faster. Gotta get those beets in b4 it freezes!🙂 Thanks for watching!🖒

Flat surfaces are exposed less to weather conditions and prevents deterioration. In other words if the beets have to be left on the pile grounds for a length of time then they won't rot as fast. It also helps taking temperature checks easier because some have to climb the pile to do that. Thanks a million for your question and comment and view! 🤗

@@heidimarchant5438 thanks. I’ve seen the piles and trucks hauling to the process plants in southern Alberta when I travel to visit my grandkids.

The pin that goes into the bottom of the ram was cracked, has been for years but they usually just keep welding it together. The farm has gone thru some employee changes an I think it got overlooked plus a different driver plus a lot of mud, it was a combination of things but that trailer has always spooked me,. It was only a matter of time, I'm just glad he wasn't very high up or we'd all be dog meat.

I must say that being there for as long as I have, there's an advantage of knowing the farmers and trailers, you get to know what you're dealing with. There's one more truck that worries me but the frame is solid. My husband dumped a trailer over years ago but that was a factory defect, new trailer.

@@heidimarchant5438 I'm glad you're all okay. This was my first year so I'm just getting to know the farmers and their trucks. Thanks for the reply and info.

When they cross the scales it's around 80,000 lbs depending on the truck size.

The box and the trailer together cost about $35,000 brand new I believe. Not sure if you can buy them individually, never really thought about it. Thank you for watching😊

@@heidimarchant5438 wow, that is so expensive to just destroy.

@@Pixics the box was totaled (destroyed) when it fell over while it was dumping beets on the pile grounds.

Close. Wyoming. Yeah Big Burford might've seen his better days but he sure is a work horse! Glad you enjoyed the video😊

Meeee to!

What a crazy year, we had a truck drive into the piler and pushed the rails into the dog house a couple towns over just a few days ago. Thanks for watching😊

That's really crazy, too many accidents! Do you think they could be related somehow? Or just comes with the territory kinda thing? Accidents happen mainly due to someone being too tired on the job, I'm in no way blaming anyone, it could honestly happen to any of us, that's why they're called accidents! But wow, that's a whole lotta shaken up people! So thankful everyone is okay!!! That's always the number one thing!!!

@@Irishjay-gu5pb it was more or less a trailer default in this case and usually is. The guy in the other town was probably tired or not paying attention. These occurrences don't happen often but when they do its quite alarming. Thank you much!

Your assumption is correct. Wyoming.😏

Glad you like them 😉

We sell the seed and burn the rest. We put a defoliant on it to be able to harvest the seed due to our short growing season which doesn't make it quality feed for livestock. Tilling it under after burning it makes great ground for rotating crop the next season. Typical yield is 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre give or take, depending on the wether of course. Just to be clear alfalfa (if not grown for just seed) is typically swathed and bailed just like any hay and sent across the country, we get about 3 cuttings a year or season and that goes to livestock in regards to regular alfalfa. It'll grow back continually regardless of how many times you cut it as long as water and good weather provides.

We sell the seed so others can plant a crop of their own. What I keep forgetting to say is... I forgot again😩

Hi, great question! We don't thrash alfalfa the same as wheat because the combine has to be set up differently. Same concept yes but different process. Because of our short growing season, we spray our alfalfa with a defoliant to die it off so we can harvest it. You can cut off water and use a swather to cut it into windrows and dry it that way like beans. If you want just a small plot you can do it by hand but it's extremely labor intensive and you risk loosing a good portion of seed. You can also use a scythe instead of a swather. Where we live, we rely on an irrigation system and not the weather. If youre doing it by hand and have a barn you may even be able to hang it up like spices but you'd want it to develop seeds first. I hope this helps and good luck😉
