CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

Man we had a bad drought down here in Louisiana as well as texas and most of the southern U.S. So many never got a 2nd and 3rd cut. My uncle has cows and he fed corn fodder and he said his cows ate more corn fodder then they did hay. He said the fodder leaves are what they mostly ate.

The MagSafe charger mounts would probably work great for that.

Thanks for sharing Ryan and yes it’s a mess feeding this time of the year 👍

I know it seems silly when a regular pocket knife can do it (I had the same thought) but I bought the Sloan hay knife and I love it. I think it would definitely help you with how you reach in over the ring to cut it.

Hey Ryan. It was great to meet you walking around at the show last year. I'll be there again hosting a booth. Thanks for the video.

Great video! Mud is the standard for my northern VA area in winter. Be careful with the processed bales, especially since you tip them down to unwrap them. They can slide off the forks. I believe you will prefer processed bales for bedding. Besides smaller stuff to spread, they have a better absorbtion capacity. And DON'T just sample the hay from the edge, you need to go deeper. Your local Extension Office may have a hay sampling probe, and they can direct you where to get it tested. Dry hay can be tested from a windrow sample, just before baling, but you are better off pulling samples from silage bales when you open a row. Smart move checking on nutrition, but protein blocks/tubs can be an insurance policy for the cattle.👍👍

any feed merchants will do an analysis on feed usually for free well they used to

It's pretty tough to feed cattle in the winter month, but the jcb is the right machine for the job😉👍 nice video again👍👍

Be sure and start adding a high mag mineral about a month before green grass to prevent grass tentay. Great videos.

Does the Ag Extension office in Lancaster do hay analysis? Or maybe the UW Experimental Farm out towards Bloomington?

In the past I've used Dairyland labs for nutrient analysis. They're in Wisconsin although I don't remember where. Can get as simple or in depth as you want with there testing.

The White wrap can be used for small tarps. You might ask Plumbing Co’s if they could use them on job sites.

Check out Redmans salt and mineral. They analyze feed and build mineral blocks for your herd with pallet purchase. Farmer Tyler Ranch utuber just did a process review. The JCB still is a game changer.

Why not store some bales on pallets. They are usually free and would keep the fodder drier. Have seen some farmer do that to a lot of bales. A little extra work but would keep bottom of bales dry

Get one of those hot water pressure washers for the tracks. Or if you have one of those on demand hot waters heaters for the house; add a spigot somewhere to supply hot water to a pressure washer.

Hi Ryan - thank you for the time, effort and information you share about your operation. Quick question, I am looking for a suction cup phone holder that actually stays attached to the inside glass through all seasons. Is your new one staying put and what do you have?

Pullover Tingley are the best, and Treds are ok. You have your comfy work boots on and the pullovers keep the water and mud out.

Hey Ryan, great video again. I’m interested in a jcb like yours. Could you do a review on how it’s holding up over the years. And anything newer models might have that yours doesn’t ? Thank You
