A Day on a Small Farm - Cutting Hay, Scouting, Fixing, & Selling Corn

[@pagrainfarmer]

Great video! Nice to see you back at it again. Keep it up.

I love your videos, they give me inspiration to try to direct market some of my crops. With a small farm there is no way to make money selling wholesale

Love the swather. I haven't seen many of those in the Midwest. Yeah, I was kinda waiting for the flex funnel to dip as the water hit it, then bounce as the water pouted out, and repeat. 😆 The starter switch is a nice touch. It reminds me of the turn signal replacement switch I put on one of our band trucks back in Iowa. It was a former chicken hauling Step Van, with the original LUX Pullets logos on the sides and "Here comes Archie!" on the hood. The column-mounted turn signal failed, so I zip tied a 3-position toggle switch onto it. Oh, it also had a secondary horn from a VW Beetle that caused strange looks from people when they turned to see the behemoth making the little beep-beep. Thanks for the big ol' video!

As I've said before, thank you for sharing your day with us. I really appreciate your commentary about what you do, why you do it the way you do, and everything in between. I look forward to seeing your harvest footage! Stay safe from unguarded roller chains!!!!

Another great informative video. As I have said before love the videos with the older equipment like I farmed with dad on. Keep them coming. God bless

Hi and good evening, Couldn't you just put the mill a little higher and place an empty bag under it? On a rack or trailer? Or deepen the ground under the mill a little? Then it should actually be easier? Instead of the buckets and shoveling? By the way, I like your videos very much! They are simply great in every way. What you say, how you explain everything, your farm, the great machines and also the seasonal atmosphere always. And the incredibly beautiful surroundings with you. Really fabulous! Thank you very much for that! Best regards from Schleswig-Holstein, Northern Germany! All the best, Christian 🇺🇸💕🥰

Interesting variety of summer tasks. Do the mice bother the granary?

Ill always say fresh cut is nothing compared to the morning 48hrs after its cut smells 1000× better

Alfalfa starts to loose proteen once it flowers. Wait longer for a seed crop.

Drill a hole in the brace to get a scredriver through the hole.

Where do you get your empty sacks from for your corn?

[@thetoyfarmer2366]

When did you get the swather

[@ravenviewfarm]

We bought it in the summer of 2021, which was the first year we grew oats on the farm. I haven't featured it because I always failed to get good camera footage of us using it, or even working on it when it needed repair. This year I took some decent footage of oat harvest though, so it'll play a role in an upcoming video.

Enjoy your videos of someone of doing farm directly to customer . Running older machinery makes it able to afford to farm small, best to you on your farm and hope your farm to consumers keeps improving for you, we used to have a guy that would stop to goose hunt here from around St Peter that loved to visit with my dad and he raised ducks outside feeding them alfalfa bales and people would come every year paying a premium for his ducks.
