#Farm #Illinois #Fall #Harvest #FarmingSimulator22
Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Great video Andy with great information you deserve 10 million subscriber the way you explain is great 👍👍 who agrees like the comment 👇👇

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Haha I appreciate the vote of confidence!

[@jerrydowell1660]

drive by that field almost every day the beans don't look too bad in there

[@aTrippyFarmer]

They are actually doing pretty well other than a few spots. Those farms have some drainage issues that need fixed. They should be progressing nicely after the recent rains!

[@bladewiper]

Lots of help doing the wheels.👍👍 Always good to see Katty.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I have found more hands to be useful in that process. I need to look into one of those fancy tire grabbers.

[@bstives58]

I was thinking you had acres not planted near the end of June...glad to see this was May!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Haha I was a bit behind on the videos. They are almost caught back up to real-time.

[@billuphoff1021]

Clipping right along! Now, hopefully, we will get the rains!😊

[@aTrippyFarmer]

We got one but I would take some more!

[@EvanC8]

It’s a good experiment to have the 30 inch row beans. But I agree the more narrow rows with high density seed is the best way to keep weeds down.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Agreed. Weed control is where narrow rows have a huge advantage.

[@jayheiman7388]

Done 15 inch rows and 30 inch just depends on personally preference. Once they canopy it is nice to save herbicide in the narrow rows

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I think the weed control of narrower rows is hard to pass up on. They also probably conserve moisture on a drier year. I've heard yields are pretty much a tossup unless you are on super marginal soils.

[@Husker3435]

Hang in there Andy, y’all are doing good considering the circumstances. Take care and keep em comin 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

[@aTrippyFarmer]

It was a long spring. Thanks!

[@robertanderson1878]

Definitely one of your best videos. As a non-farmer, I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

That's very nice of you. Thanks!

[@billsauberlich7337]

Maybe I missed it but what was wrong with the bean planter?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I never gave an update in this video. There was a wire in between one of the rows that got pinched somehow. It took the mechanic about 3-4 hours to find it and fix it.

[@jameswimbush5090]

Great video Andy . The right equipment pays

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Sometimes. It also costs money haha!

[@timmorris4735]

Great video one of best farming content

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@thomasbritten7216]

A tire grabber skid loader attachment with a john deere loader adapter for one of your loader tractors would make switching tires a 2 man job instead of a 5 man job

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I have actually been looking into this. They are expensive, but that would be super nice.

[@itssnowing-kx9ib]

The farmers with the windmills can at least turn them on and dry the fields

[@MoFire312]

Lmao

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Haha the windmill farmers are probably retired collecting their rent checks!

[@FabesFarmer]

Early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.

[@CalebCaudle-ho2su]

The field mouse is fast.....but the owl sees at night.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

That is a good one. There is always an interesting way to spin a situation!

[@itssnowing-kx9ib]

Maybe it’s time to invest in a weather machine

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Only the government can afford those!

[@stakman78]

Cool video mate. I will never get my head around that Hagie with boom in front and covering the machine in spray all day. Just makes zero sense. Waa the 370 a laptop fix or censor?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

It was a sensor and a laptop fix both. I don't disagree about the chemical getting on the sprayer, but you can also argue the merits of spraying into the dust cloud from the tires on a rear-boom sprayer.

[@ronaldsondergaard1867]

Why u guys don't do feeder steers,,,but at 600lb,,sell at 1100..no money in it?

[@ronaldsondergaard1867]

Buy at 600lb

[@ronaldsondergaard1867]

I know there's more work to it

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I couldn't tell you the first thing about feeding cattle. I think you have to be interested in that to consider starting. My family used to have a large herd many decades ago, but that was before my time.

[@mungogerryjnr]

Hey There’s a tyre grappling attachment for tractor front end loader 100% safer and easier!

[@itssnowing-kx9ib]

Don’t drive them tires on the asphalt

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I don't really have a choice but to go on the asphalt.

[@georymartin]

I love my Greenleaf twins!!!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

The pattern isn't as pretty as you'd like from the cab, but they have seemingly performed fine for me!

[@alonzoluckett1054]

You need to slow down

[@aTrippyFarmer]

In regards to what?

[@paulmater901]

U shood burndown bfore u work it

[@afazool123]

I believe they put down a lot of residual - zidua (a residual) cannot be worked after spraying - thats probably why

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I hate to spend the money on a burndown and tillage, but it might be the best practice!

[@Brian-ov1rj]

Trippy, planting is D U N! 👍 Marty was sending it with that tillage tool, he is a wild man. "A" team on tire duty. On to the next one. Farmn🚜

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Yeah dad only has one speed when he is working...full speed!

[@jimclary7309]

Andy great content as always keep the action and knowledge coming. Always enjoy your explanation on different situations. Definitely look you up at the next one. Stay safe!!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Thank you!

[@roberturich5346]

I've gad that error code pop up twice andy, same issue each time lol

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Let's hope it doesn't pop up again!!!

[@EvanC8]

We don’t ever change our tires we use the narrow tires all year round and it works great.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I am actually considering this moving forward. The last two springs you could clearly see where my floater tires ran in the unplanted soybean ground. It is very frustrating. If it is going to leave a compact spot, why not just run the skinny tires and minimize the damage?

[@PrestigeWorldWidePWW]

Are you done planting? How late are these videos? Crazy if you're still planting June 25th

[@PrestigeWorldWidePWW]

Buddy please respond

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Oh no the videos were quite a bit behind. We finished up at the end of May. Just in time for it to stop raining!

[@toms6213]

Nice Jobs!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Thanks!
