I get the same motion sense after baling small square bales, I can feel the rocking from the plunger action on the baler!

Hello from Canada longer videos the better thanks for sharing

[@kevingordon7426]

Good video. Nice to see someone close. I live in the Danvers, IL area and grew up Minier, IL area.

You live up in Black dirt country. Thanks for stopping in and watching.

Thanks!

@@aTrippyFarmer absolutely! Your videos are great! We just spent some time on the family farm near you (Mattoon.) What an amazing, beautiful, and PRODUCTIVE place to live and work. We love it so much! Keep up the great work (and content!)

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and RIP to your friend!!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I will miss seeing him at the farm. I am sure his owners will miss him the most!

[@2009deerejohn]

Thank you for the screen shot around the 23:12 mark, the symmetry made me very happy:)

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Sometimes I put way too much thought into the editing of those drone sequences... but they usually turn out alright!

[@Andaman1979999]

This is the 1st video i have watched and i love the musical choices

[@aTrippyFarmer]

The music is the most important part!

[@bobbyflowers4859]

Awesome video. Yaasss, baling wire. 🤪 I also recently lost my dog, Sierra, on Sept 1st to cancer. I had her about 10 years. She loved riding tractors, four wheeler and pickups.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I'm very sorry to hear that. Dogs are members of the family... it's tough that they always go so soon. Sammy was my uncle's dog that lives at the main farmstead, so I am going to miss his presence as we work around there. Thanks for the comment!

[@tinajackson944]

Also meant to ask you if you are friends with the Welkers from Montana. Great family and his filming skills are so excellent. You are doing a better job at filming than you did in the beginning. Keep up the great videos, I'm still not caught up from watching from the beginning.

[@charlesdoepping5616]

Ok i finished the video now let's get a hour long one going on...lol

[@aTrippyFarmer]

That would need a lot of footage!

Hi Andy.. Happy Sunday to you.. Looks like you had beautiful harvesting weather last week... Thank you for the ride along ❤️

Glad you enjoyed it!

Right there with ya.

[@deepwoodguy2]

Good Job, that is a lot of jobs you do over the week.... So what is your favorite Job?? Maybe climbing to the top of a grain bin, putting on your Superman cape and fly over the corn, and be your own Drone. Great vid 👍😎😁

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I enjoy running the grain cart when everything is meshing together well. Occasionally, we hit stride and harvest with almost perfect efficiency. The drone is fun to fly, but it is challenging to do that and focus on driving. Thanks for watching!

[@willr69420]

I'm a new subscriber and had no problems watching through to the end! Thanks to your content and editing skills the time flew by and only seemed like 10 minutes! Keep up the good work!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Thanks for the kind words, Will. I hope that you enjoy your stay.

[@tricogustrico]

Eli was the star of the video.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

He is very knowledgeable about farming even without getting to spend much time on one. Farming KZbin is neat!

[@billylee4719]

I'm a new subscriber and I'm from Texas talk a little slower. LOL. Enjoyed the video.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

You're not the first person to say that... I just get too excited! Thanks for watching.

[@andban92]

We have each 1st Saturday in Month right at noon potential warning sirene testings. It scarres me each time cause they are loud as f. I live pretty close to them.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

They've done it all of my life, but it still catches me off guard.

[@abrahmdufort8873]

Hey Andy, how's your battle with caffeine going? I gave it up 3 months ago! Feels so much better without it! How about you?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I started using again… 🤕 I’ve limited myself to one strong caffeine drink in the morning, preferably before a workout. I do consume some diet sodas during the day, but I don’t count those. I feel much better with just 1 than 3-4 like I was using before.

[@abrahmdufort8873]

@@aTrippyFarmer I stopped coffee and sugar at the same time, not that I am super strict, but I try my best, I sleep so much better than before....stay strong!

[@gavinburkett5829]

What are the roller things on the end of ur dads corn head for

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Those are to help feed corn that has fallen over. We haven't had much need for them for a few seasons, but we leave them on.

[@5thgenerationfarmer211]

What do u plant with a db60

[@aTrippyFarmer]

It’s a 1775NT 60’ ExactEmerge for corn. It’s a 3pt, not a drawbar. I do like the DB planters, though!

[@xavierflament2312]

Hi ANDY I'm french farmer and i'm surprised to see that you storing the corn without drying it!!! what is the grain corn moisture? it's really intreresting!!!!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

We live far enough to the south that our corn is often dried down by the sun and wind. A lot of this corn was going into the bin at 12-15% moisture. We are losing money at 12% just based on weight, but everything will store for a long time if necessary at those moistures. Thanks for the question.

[@shawnduma]

I would like to come work in your farm....

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Haha flex seal is for making boats, not fixing things!

[@ryanmorse8900]

My mom stepped in a bean stubble field and it went through her shoe into her toe

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Ouch! I can feel the pain just thinking about it. I hope she heals quickly.

How many acres do you farm?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

A few thousand.

[@tomharrington1393]

[@trystanschroeder8778]

Just wondering, why do you guys have such small headers on your s series? Anyway great video👍

[@echutch]

@ Trystan I’d say because they are only running 1 cart. Man power?

[@trystanschroeder8778]

@@echutch ok, nice profile picture

[@aTrippyFarmer]

That's a great question. We have ran two combines for decades, so it is tough to switch away from the benefits that it can offer. If we were to go to a 12 row cornhead, it would most likely involve making an upgrade in one combine, which would be very expensive. It is in the plans at some point, just not yet.

[@trystanschroeder8778]

@@aTrippyFarmer ok thanks for the reply!

[@Melting_Fireman]

I'd rather see 20 minutes or longer on the farming videos than 5 or 15. It makes more of an opportunity to showcase your operation. Then again trying to keep people's attention is hard after a couple of minutes on videos if they aren't interested.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

We live in a very fast-paced world. Thanks for spending a little time watching my video. I definitely appreciate it!

[@billychatman6518]

Can’t help but ask what happened to your nose, in later videos looks like you were in a wreck or something
