You all are awesome, thanks for watching!

[@CalebHarkes-iz3fk]

Thanks for making vidoes that we all love

[@Showboat_Six]

That big bud would work so much better if you got the wheels to turn forward in stead of in reverse when you drive forward!!!

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

I always thought you were saying semolina, which is a wheat used in pasta

[@kingtrumpet123]

you guys at Welker Farms are awesomeness peoples as well, you would make good friends and decent neighbors. Have a safe an awesomeness week.

[@ryanvdt4833]

Thank you for making amazing content good sir!!!! Keep it up!!!

[@mikebarbacovi9851]

All you long time followers are praying that you have a bountiful crop. Good moisture. Timely rain. NO HAIL.

[@stephenross1581]

Your father must be so proud of you guys, one of you can fix anything put in front of him and the other, a top operator with a vast knowledge of farming, I pray you guys get the harvest you deserve and get a fair return for the money you outlay and the work you put in.

[@texasproud3332]

That equipment running across that ground looks majestic don’t forget about old glory flying high

[@WelkerFarms]

Meant to get the flags out this year but just haven't made it happen yet, been a crazy spring.

[@johnunsicker7440]

@@WelkerFarms Been a crazy spring all around. Going from snow to planting in like a week.

[@annamschnetzer4036]

Proud to be an American! Goosebumps!

[@joefahrenschon2437]

nice to see the Saskatchewan made Airseeder and Drill

[@eileenerickson1875]

Leg Arms……I Love your fabrication ideas!! You are one of the best!!! It doesn’t seem to matter what is happening, you figure out what’s needed and you make it!! You are totally amazing!!!!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Good luck seeding your 2023 crops Welker Farms

[@Toddo-ld5ml]

Watching the bud with the seeder was a beautiful shot. Hope and pray for you all having a good crop this year

[@mikemontgomery7337]

The grader is why I respect the Welkers so much. Make due w what you have !! You don't need new to get a job done !!👍

[@joshkolden9103]

I use to refine camelina oil at Montola refinery in Culbertson MT.

[@died4us590]

Nice look, crazy how the weather changed so fast, pray for good crops this year, and no hail damage. G-d bless.

[@fuzby2]

Lok for something called Waxoil. You can get it from a JCB dealer. It's in a spray can. Clean the area then spray the Waxoil on and let dry. It doesn't attract grit and dirt and is a great lubricant. JCB uses it on their extendable backhoes. Try it. It works

[@rickk6447]

Hey guys, I guess your not in State compliance. In order for your machine to be within compliance you need just one thing. That blankety, blank, blank beep noise as you move backwards which drives people nuts!😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉LOL Yes people I’m just kidding, it is nice to let the kids know though, or ya could just teach them to be very careful around huge machinery! I believe most farm families do it this way!… God bless and stay safe friends!….

[@dennislaughton1676]

When it comes to harvesting Camomile you will need a well sealed truck box. Friends lost a large amount of crop due to the fine cracks in the truck box.

[@daftDAFdriver]

Best of luck with 2023 crops, may God bless your labour

[@AgriStudios]

I somehow convinced my dad to plant just short of 400 acres of camelina this year. Been doing videos for Sustainable Oils for the past couple of years and the staff seems to be top notch! We'll see how growing some goes this year.

[@WelkerFarms]

Awesome! We're excited to try it

[@larrydavidson3402]

What an awesome video of the two Big Buds putting the seed in the ground. Sure do like those Big Buds.

[@docsridingadventures2880]

Congratulations. May you be blessed with a favorable growing season

[@gregcatlett1458]

Thanks to all of the Welkers, beautiful country and a prosperous 2023.

[@kennyw6932]

I grew up on an Allis Chalmers WD45, pulling a three bottom plow, packer and drill. What you accomplish in one round with your setup would have taken me all day plus. lol! I cannot imagine the power that unit possesses. Farming isn't what it used to be and I'll bet you say Thank God, right? God Bless the farmers. I thoroughly enjoy the videos.

[@AndreZA979]

May this be the season with just enough rain for a successful harvest.

[@craigmiller5372]

We put the attic trusses on our garage to, but we just use it for storage. I think I would’ve kept the front door on the garage.

[@rodchristensen644]

What a beautiful sight seeing that going down the road and into the field

[@gregsasser2640]

I watched the opening several times. The Bud rolling coal against that beautiful background. Thanks for your videos.

[@papaburf7275]

Great to see spring planting get underway.

[@SchrottiJr]

Camelina is an old plant which has been disregarded as a weed for a long time, strange to suddenly see it back and actually being grown on purpose. I guess its hardier and easier to handle than canola. 😁 PS: Operating and taking care of a machine with your hands and the sensory equipment within them and your body is slowly becoming a lost art, thank you for keeping it up and trying to pass it on.

[@nickw2349]

Was also replaced by rape seed as rape has better yield with same low input as a rotation crop, but doesn’t have as high a quality oil.

[@agbiochemist7269]

The reason for it coming back is it’s easy to work with in a research lab that makes these seeds or germ plasm

[@robertrpenny]

Congrats on first day of seeding and even a new crop. Likewise on being in the most free occupation in one of the most free places on earth. Didn't mean to give you all the good news at once but i now recall that i used to get a 'freedom high' on trips to MT. So keep up the great videos from maybe the best place on earth and i will reminisce about MT. Can you guys see Chief Mtn from your farm? Its sort of a landmark in S. AB. and right on the border i think.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Just the top on the highest hill we have

[@robertrpenny]

@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob Yaw i guess its maybe 60 miles away or so. Those Big Bud towing seed eqpt with mtns in background shots are epic.

[@andrewruble7706]

Intro was absoultely awesome. I could watch the Big Bud seed all day. Hoping for a great season! Blessings

[@kopenhagenkid]

Good luck seeding your new crop Welker Farms

[@sharky6870]

Put some grafite spray on the turn table of the grader it works well ,slippery, won't attract dust.

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Leg Arms, ring gear.... Y'all are a PERFECTIONIST... Very proud of y'all😊

[@ernestjenkins1855]

I drove my brother's grader 20 plus miles home when he bought it and your parking brake was my brakes. It was flat to the ground, though.

[@tarheelpatch3386]

WOW I love Montana from my visits there but your drone footage with the mountains in the bac was gorgeous. I could watch the part for hours.Been throught Shelby many times by Train.

[@killermoose]

I grew up in farming country, worked on a farm, and even said tractor as my first word. Still always blown away by the equipment, and the engineering behind it...

[@arthenry498]

WOW, that grader looks pretty neat!! A good operator there is like a symphony conductor. Can make some beautiful stuff with that!! Leg/arms seemed real happy in there. I think I can understand why! I would love to run that thing myself. And I think I would rather run that, than a new one. I am old enough to appreciate old equipment. We get along better. LOL

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

😊Best wishes for a successful 2023 set of crops

[@davidkimmel4216]

Have a Safe Spring Planting God Bless Your Family. May the rain be with you

[@Rebar77_real]

Gravel is very cathartic for some reason. Crunchy.

[@jeffreynelson6795]

As big as that equipment is, Its dwarfed by that amazing Landscape. Best intro shot on you tube by the way. The drone shots are incredible. Makes you want to watch it on a big screen.

[@rdyardie]

Your videos are so honest about what needs to be done for getting the crop in. Your innovations work and you get the job done. Great work. Pace yourselves. 😊

[@wandahelmer1038]

God Bless our hard working Farmers....👍

[@mr.lynnrosaasen8218]

What a sight white tractor & black smoke, not for long!

[@crandonborth]

As a newer viewer from “Mike Mitchell” channel it is very awesome to see the similarities and differences between both your operations. It’s just so much different than the corn and soybeans I’m used to here in the Midwest.

[@Adam_Poirier]

I thought the starter on that grader was a little bit noisy, hearing that story it makes sense now lol.. you're a hell of a machinist Scott. I really like the equipment videos and projects you guys have done. I think this is the fourth or fifth spring I've watched you guys seed now

[@daveschwerdtfeger7842]

Here's praying that you get the moisture you need for a Bumper Crop

[@jonsmith7708]

Loved that drone footage, gave me goose bumps, the power of faith and technology, praying for rain for you all!

[@h2recoveryteam2]

OMG, all the pictures in the 14 and 15 minute mark. Those are some very awesome Big Bud in action ones. Love it.

[@justinfitzgerald8733]

We had a dry lubricant graphite I think for our old grader

[@susanstaples-4761]

Some nice shots from the air there nick 👌 ❤ good to see the buds out 😊

[@jimholty2274]

We have 3 JCB loadalls and we use spray on wax to lube the booms and it repells dirt. The wax is made by JCB

[@johnsebar7807]

Golly videos are over way to soon. Drone footage is 150% over the top perfect. Liked the rock assistant in the grader. Wonder if you could try a pair of work pants with knee pads in them. Maybe a sponsor of some sort. Worry about all the time you spend on the shop concrete on your knees fixing anything and everything. Trust me, knees are a bit harder to weld back together. Take care BC Canada

[@timothyabraham2228]

I love seeing those big buds roam those fields, case i/h shows/demos alot of their new stuff and has tractors as big as any of the welker tractors, BUT case i/h, knows that those big buds are welker FAMILY tradition !! Much respect ! The Welkers are KNOWN for those big buds(they're not the only ones tho)..

[@JimG31547]

Here is praying you all have a banner year this year.

[@rinardman]

6:28 Weird. When I was a kid, we used fertilizer like that on our farm. But I haven't been around it for 50 years. What is weird is that as soon as I saw it, I could remember the smell! 🤔

[@matthewstevens7114]

Awesome! Keep up the good work, and God bless from Indiana!

[@lanwickum]

Camelina, you are more daring than me. I'll be watching and learning. I have considered it for a few years. Just can't pull the trigger.

[@chief3378]

That big bud looks just amazing I hope you get the whether you need to have good crops rain Sunshine rain you know what I mean how are the fish doing good I hope

[@726angus726]

Love seeing the old iron still hard at work! Love the videos, thank you all!

[@WelkerFarms]

Thanks!

[@badgerpa9]

Did I miss you have another Case tractor this year? At 14:09 what is the red tractor? Hope you all stay safe and healthy. Thank you for taking the time from your busy life to make the videos we watch.

[@crandonborth]

Neighbors???

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Yes

[@robbarrett2610]

I'm in the process of getting a 1948 Ford 800 series tractor restored, it's awesome seeing the machinery y'all have at work 🙏

[@donwestbury6251]

Loved the road-scraper, use to drive an old Huber, you would be blading along and all of a sudden the two front tires would just fall over to one side or the other. Would hit the lever and bring them back up and go again for a while, then repeat.

[@MsdebinBC]

Awesome 😎👍 Welker Farms GO FOR IT hoping dog is with you dad welker🙏🥰💕 from 🇨🇦🥰

[@pedrogunner9750]

I also love grading roads. It’s very satisfying to me OCD. You show up to a road or area that is all rough and uneven with potholes and make it looks as smooth as a blanket. Annnnd I also use my blade as a parking brake because mine doesn’t have a functional parking brake.

[@nigelhodges7173]

Nice to see Leg Arms looking a bit happier, I thought he was looking a bit stressed maybe in the last few videos. It's a nice family vibe you have, so keep the big fella cheery.

[@customfarmer]

Planted my irrigated camelina plot yesterday, dryland going in tomorrow...

[@keltonfoster901]

Cool to hear your trying out the biofuel route. They spent a lot of time down here in Great Falls outfitting the refinery.

[@anthonybeardmore5413]

Outstanding drone footage !! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, always very informative and enjoyable.😁

Thanks!

Yall are awesome people and great farmers i love the drone shots the one with the big bud and mountain in the back ground needs to be a painting looks awesome :)

[@RealLimerickman]

Some beautiful views from the drone, especially the flat fields against the mountains.

[@diersirrigation]

I like the combination of the Big Bud and Case IH seeder. Scott, love to see you running the old Allis Chalmers grader. Grease on the grader circle is like greasing a 5th wheel.

[@jasonreese4824]

Nice to see things running good hay leg arms see if you can find some poly plates that are wore out from the fithwheel plates and figure a way to mount them on the more border bull gear on the grader that should help you out from keeping that from wearing so much got to try to keep the old iron around as long as we can.

[@spencerjhog4429]

Had some grain based dinner tonight so thanks for feeding us! Welding teeth on the ring gear. Impressive!

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Busy busy time getting into spring. Putting some new seed in the ground. Trust it will produce a good crop for you. Lots of pre work getting all the settings the way you want them to put the seed in the ground. Looks like you got it the way you want. Go get em. Put the seed down. Thanks for the drone footage. Always like to watch that drone footage. I suppose wheat seeding is next after you get the spraying you are Doing now done. Must Admit I do not quite follow what or why you are spraying now. Appreciate a few words on that. Thanks. Keep at it guys. That time of year. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve. Praying for a good crop year for you!!!!!!!

[@markreetz1001]

You are farming!! It is so cool the aerial shots of Big Bud et al. Was that the neighbor with the big Case IH doing some planting? God Bless your season!

[@douglasrenkema]

You guys are something else,wow 😊 , what a great family. I wish you all the best 😊😊😊

[@domination1985]

Hey I wonder if that company that made those hard plastic wear plate for the Larson's could make 1 for the grader like a grease less 5thwheel

[@bradpogue3448]

That is an old piece of equipment but it runs great. And the planting begins good luck I hope everything goes smoothly for y’all

[@woutersteenbergen6358]

Nice video, whe grow camelina to on our farm around 6 acers this year. Whe grow and proses it ourselves for human consumption

[@richardradawetz8788]

Try spray graphite for the blue circle. We find it way better. Dirt doesn’t stick!😎

[@deeretech9155]

Praying for the weather to cooperate for you guys. Awesome intro! You know we have to say it though.... that case steer wouldn't have flat if it had tracks! Lol. Love you guys and God bless!

Years ago I bought a flywheel for a 390 ford. Had it resurfaced and was out of money. Turn out to be for a 402 ford. Five of the six bolts would fit but not the sixth. Put it on a brake lathe centered it up a drill six new hole between the old hole. Ran it for 40,000 miles. Real men make it work.😁

You plant more in one day than my grandfather farmed in a year!

[@byrongilbert3720]

i know farming is hard work but you guys make it look so darn fun. its very much appreciated.

[@WelkerFarms]

It is fun but also hard to show how difficult it can be without coming across as a cry baby. This past week I've been working 15-17hrs a day, 7 days a week. Most all farms go through this type of push during critical seasons. It's a good life but definitely taxing on the mind, body, and relationships.

@@WelkerFarms i hear ya bro. its going to be a great harvest this year. i can feel it.

@@WelkerFarms indirectly involved. Northeast Missouri most of the guys are finished up with beans and corn. I’m out of all week. When it was push push push.
