Australian Wheat Harvest 2023 QLD

Another ripper of a year for wheat!
spanning a few weeks we managed to knock out well over 5,000Ha of wheat. with a mixture of sown and spread seed it ended with a pretty good yeild!
Supplying local and foreign markets wheat is a backbone to the aussie economy.
This year we were lucky enough to use the newest machinery and the latest in GPS technology. We consider ourselves lucky to have had the opportunity to work with some awesome people and learn some great new skills.

Bravo! Your videos are a testament to your mastery of the craft. The storytelling and visual finesse make each one a true gem. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

Nice video, well done. Watching from Canada !!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video

[@xbailleau]

Great video, very beautifull, congrats, so amazing the areas you crop, I'm a farmer in France we grow wheat with high yields on very small farms compared to Australia, I'm alone on 70 ha😀 so different system and scale

[@vaughnandkobie]

It sure is! We had a guy join us from Sweden and it was interesting to get an insight into farming in the EU! Very different

I spent 3 months harvesting with Brian and Mark Spink from Goondiwindi in 2003 , we started harvesting west of Goondiwindi on the farms of Tom Woods , Billa Billa and Mount Carmel , big farms and moved south gradually over the next few months ending up in Victoria , it was amazing experience for a young Irish man coming from a small dairy farm , I wonder if Brian and Mark still harvest grain? they are from Goondiwindi, would be in there sixties now I think

[@vaughnandkobie]

3 months is a decent amount of harvesting time! I'm sure they're still out there somewhere and you probably can't get them off the harvest!

Would give anything forca chance to participate in harvest there one time. Retired farmer from US in philippines now. Miss the harvest grew up on a combine starting at 6 years old now 76 missing it.

[@vaughnandkobie]

I don’t think it would be too hard! You could always come and ask to sit in on a farm, I’m sure there would be someone that wouldn’t mind a chat while doing some laps around the paddock!

[@joescheller6680]

@@vaughnandkobie I don't want to sit on the paddock want to get into the harvest run a combine grain cart or semi done it all and still can. Only reason I retired do to wifes health needing 24 7 care.

TOO HANDS BOI!

[@oernioerni2257]

You are working no till, right? Whats your crop rotation?

[@vaughnandkobie]

These guys run heaps of ploughs over their fields when fertilising and deep ripping when required. Its black soil country so its a bit different out there. They alternate fields between Sorghum and wheat. They do get rested every few years too

[@1Corinthians151-4]

why do you care.

[@gaganpannu5647]

I am from India I have harvesters and tractors in my home country and I have experience about 15-16 years I love machinery I have done B-tech in mechanical engineering I want to know about wheat farming is good for earning in perth wa I want to buy a land 500-1000 acres is good for starting what is the price of wheat in Australia Give me details please Thanks

[@vaughnandkobie]

That's a hard question to answer! It depends on the season and how much rain you get. On a good year depending on rainfall you might get 3t per hectare and wheat prices also vary depending on demand but might get $400A per tonne if it's going really good

[@dewayneleek4588]

I never knew Australia had agricultural crops

[@vaughnandkobie]

Australia was built on cropping and farming!

[@dewayneleek4588]

@@vaughnandkobie me and a chemical rep were sitting in duck blinds 2 days ago and he was telling me bout the wheat in Australia,,,lol I never knew

[@vaughnandkobie]

Haha! Sometimes it's hard to know what goes on all over the world!

[@gaganpannu5647]

Hello

[@mg42master47]

[@vaughnandkobie]

We are workers ourselves! You would have to apply! Farmers would give anyone a go that is willing to have a try

[@gijsvermuntagrifotografie]

@@vaughnandkobiewhere do I find such farms? Ive done a (small) wheat harvest in South-Africa in 2022, but would like to go to australia to harvest this season.

[@vaughnandkobie]

This farm is in central Queensland. NSW and Victoria also have big farms too

[@gijsvermuntagrifotografie]

@@vaughnandkobie do you know any farms that are looking for drivers with the 2024 harvest?

[@vaughnandkobie]

Unfortunately not but there are Facebook groups you can post on to find work. Harvest jobs Australia is a good start!
