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.

Ryan, I've been watching you since OLF talked about you on his channel several (like 4?) years back. I like to think of him as the grandpa of KZbin farmers. Also, what you can do with a camera and your editing skills is nothing short of pure cinema 🎥 👏🙌

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Beautiful to watch, esp. silhouetted against the sunset. Stirs me up to want to be baling! Nice close Hannah! Thanks Ryan!

[@pd2953]

Best farming drone shots and farming drone shots music selection out there!

[@alexjosefson1308]

Loved that sunset shot with the bailer. There really is an art to what you are doing Ryan, your love of photography shows. Also this video showed something very important about farmers that I don't think gets enough attention and that is the resourcefulness to use every aspect of the crop. It started by harvesting the corn, but then the stalks get turned into bedding for the cows, the bedding will later be used as fertilizer on the fields, which will in turn help grow more corn. It's a very important cycle, and one that we can learn a lot from.

[@SteveHolsten]

Thanks, Ryan & Hannah! I'm sure many of your loyal fans hope that you videoed the new combine harvesting!

[@michaelbok4034]

Another great day for you and bailing!

[@fergywurst]

The cows are really going to enjoy that bale of bedding with that ear of corn in it. 😋

[@craigborchardt6238]

Once again I love your music choices, well done you!

[@clinthochrein888]

Kuhntastic job of making corn fodder! I love Wisconsin sunsets an sun rises.

[@jeffjefferson3364]

That's a fantastic shot of the bale forming in the chamber

FANTASTIC CUSTOM BAILING

26 inches of snow. You keep it!

[@timshipley1898]

Another great video.. you guys do a great job at telling the farm story and getting the best video shots.. love the camera work.. drones, close ups, internal shots.. keep it up.

[@johnnydale6515]

Nice to hear Hannah say a few words at the end , great video , glad you made your target of bales

[@patkelly7999]

Great stuff Ryan and Hannah, it was nice to have the second baler there for back up:):)

[@marknewman5847]

Great camera work . It's like that kuhn Baler is doing a really nice job. Been awhile since I've seen the dust flying when you're doing fodder

[@earlyriser8998]

that is a neat idea to use the stalks for fodder and bedding around here the often just get plowed under loved the sunset shots while you were working

[@Husker3435]

Your videos keep getting better Ryan👍the music and footage is 2nd to none💪🏻keep crushin it bud😎😎😎

[@leeforeman3656]

Great sunset. Take care see you next time.

[@herbhouston5378]

You'll be glad to have for bedding! Hey, I heard the Deere settled . That's good!!

[@tokencivilian8507]

Nice. 2 balers gets the job done in a hurry. Great vid work, as always. Looks like you had some fine weather for this work.

[@mitchellgourley3653]

Your family does a great job I love your videos all the time keep up the good work

[@acomputernerd]

Very cool video thanks! Love to see the evening shots! Thanks again!

[@carloswright6913]

From now on we need Hannah doing the ending and maybe even the intros

[@brittblanton8342]

Thanks for the great video Ryan, the drone footage was awesome. It sure was a gorgeous sunset 👍

[@jordanschneider6505]

I'm Glad you still had good yield despite all the downed corn.

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video Ryan

[@jolietjohn8024]

The dairy farms I grew up around and working on didn't bale fodder. Looking at the really detailed coverage here and Travis' statements in previous videos regarding fodder really shows that it is really beneficial use of product that would otherwise be only fertilizer and nuisance pioneer corn. This is good practical stuff! The cows are gonna go bonkers over it. The videography is top notch!

[@charleslynch7274]

Great bailer never get tired of seeing that in action

[@daveconger6199]

Another awesome video with the guest appearance by Hanah

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! That bale matches the 82. A little lopsided lol. Have a great weekend!

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Nice and thank-you! But Hanna visiting is fun.

[@chesterraybon3442]

Never had to bale corn stalks. Never had cows. Baled enough wheat straw square bales to cover the moon though. They looked pretty good to me. Great video and y'all take care.

[@tonymckeage1028]

great how farms work video, thanks for sharing

[@ericfowler6196]

That was so cool how Hannah just took what Ryan always says at the end of the videos made me laugh keep up the awesome work.

[@Cinder2008]

I enjoyed the video

[@benkpsnyder]

Nice video ryan

Hannah! Nice video.

Good content 👍

[@harryfarmingvideo5328]

Nice work good video brother

[@cleaterose5914]

Ryan remains the champ of drone videos.

[@Tyler-10]

The 82 will forever be known as “Tripod”

[@tarefoot]

Yep, Dad is gettin' her done.....raking that is.

[@ianhaggart1438]

Hello. There's no doubt you'll heave excellent muck/manure to spread out once you have used the chopped bales for a while for the bedding.. nice camera work as usual 👌. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

26 inches??? Huh ??!?!? I'm moving close to you!! Upstate Ny!!!

[@SimonKL11]

The sunset in the background looks really good👍😉 your drone work is on another level😁👍 Nice to see that you are done with making fodder for the year👍👍

[@Blackwellll3066]

I like the kuhn baler but I would like to see ya demo a JD 560R with plus2 accumulator cuz I think having the ability to dropp 3 bales into a row would speed up bale hauling.

[@agrartechnikmv]

Very Good Video Greets Markoツ

[@tapertrain1614]

Nice flatbed semi trailer. Did I miss something

[@ryanmac6715]

Take a drink every time he says fodder.

[@nwpioneer2551]

NICE DRONE CONTROL.

[@waterskiingfool]

The Kuhn did a nice job. Hope the jd baler was a way issue to fix

[@streetrodder2846]

Hi Hannah!

[@22gonefishing]

Was that from some of your downed corn fields, looked like more corn cobs laying in the field then there should be.

[@davidloy8376]

What's the plan for the semi flatbed?

[@garahastings8214]

Did you get a flat bed trailer? Saw one in the beginning shots when your dad was raking.

[@hturbo1007]

Is that the field that had wind damage? I noticed corn on the ground.

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Can you put grass silage/baleage through that baler?

[@briansmith8405]

Time to get another tractor! A 6 or 7 series would be 👍

[@Kugerand727]

Ryan - who was playing the music during the video ? I really enjoyed the acoustic guitar and dobro.

[@huskerboy3471]

Hi

[@johnmartin-sg7cv]

Another great video. That Kuhn baler really does the job. The quality of the photography in your videos is amazing. Well done. Always enjoyable to watch. On a side note, Travis appears to have stopped KZbin. I have no way of contacting him to find out. Can you confirm this? If he has can you please include him more in your videos as well as his family occasionally. Be nice to see that they are doing well.

[@HowFarmsWork]

He’s found it difficult to manage his time doing so much, having a kid I imagine makes being a farmer on KZbin even more difficult

[@craigflatley7370]

👍

[@ericluitjens4256]

I got my quote for 2022 net and twine. I'm not going to get political, but you can figure out what I'm thinking.

[@johnannis2248]

Hey Ryan Like your videos and how you explain things. Question for you, your JD4640 running led lights, looks like it. What brand are they? Looking for some for my JD 4440. Messaging from the great white North, British Columbia, Canada

[@williefarms]

Were does you music for drone footage come from

[@davidmax9383]

How long have you had the 4640

[@brianrutherford3681]

I now who is buying a Kuhn baler as his next purchase on his farm.he said the very same thing before he bought the JCB

[@danaedwards5464]

that is alot of corn fodder bales never used them for bedding before but i guess it must work or you would not be doing it

[@sallyannefrancis8647]

Is this Corn (maize) Stalks ! From Norfolk England !! Love your content and how you film this Vlogg !!!

[@rgwheeler3450]

It is

[@sunshaker01]

When you don't have crops that produce straw for bedding you make do with what you have, corn stalks are a very common substitute in North America, though soy bean and canola (rapeseed) stubble are also used.

[@jeffc6268]

Does corn fodder cause wear on the bailer compared to hay?

[@SmallMartingale]

Yes

[@bobjohnson9603]

When will you be done harvesting?

[@HowFarmsWork]

We finished this week, last video of harvest should be up Wednesday

[@flash3047]

Yield per arce?

[@ollie-lk5dx]

If at all possible I think you try to keep the Kuhn baler.

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

We do from 1500 to 2500 bales of corn stalks bales every year.

[@richdillon2157]

Hey Ryan, Not to bring up a Sore subject, But what ever became of the Solar Farm ? I haven't heard you talk about it in a Long time, Not that You would want to. Is it still a Go ? Is it been Tabled for now? Just curious. Enjoyed your video, Thanks for sharing.

Construction should be starting in the spring

Seems to me a lot of corn on the cob in the field?

Remember all that down corn we had?

Why are you comparing a brand new Kuhn baler with an old John Deere baler? Like maybe you should compare a brand new John Deere baler!

Well I’m sorry to say it but I’m thinking it’s time for you guys to get rid of the old builder somebody’s always working on it
