Battling Rain and all for Gain!

[@Tcrim354]

As an agriculture teacher, let me say thank you for sharing your investment. The 99% who don’t farm have no concept of the money it cost to make bread.

[@karschmiller1184]

I am from PA and 8 10ths isnt going to stop us from doing much of anything. Might set us back for a good part of the day but usually wont stop us from getting into the fields. I love how you really truly appriciate the little amounts that you do get and how you farm with it also. Seeing the different pracrices you do vs us is truly amazing. Thank you for all you do Welker Farms. I really enjoy the content so keep it coming.

[@kevinkimberly1352]

Just bought a patriotic tee and hat! I love and appreciate everything you guys do in helping feeding the world!

[@WelkerFarms]

Awesome thank you!

[@jessaryenterprises]

I always love spraying with dew. It’s just like using more water. And the crop is all opened up and absorbing more product.

[@christos7803]

Praise the lord for this rain...it was a nice message you told as how much money farmers spend. Love your content and your channel !!!

[@brittblanton8342]

Thanks guys for the great video, people have no idea what it cost farmers to produce food to feed them, thanks for what you do and god bless 👍

[@stevenpdxedu]

Thanks Welkers, informative as always. Hope you enjoy some off time. Nice to see how good the crops are this year.

[@robertreznik9330]

Your weather is looking to be stormy for much of July. Very hot for much of lower US could help keep the grain prices out of the basement. Your efforts are turning into Good Luck with lots of good memories for the Summer of 2020!

THANKS to Case IH and Torgerson for this wonderful demonstration of agriculture at its BEST! WOW! Case IH and Torgerson's are awesome!

[@srichey221]

I really enjoy watching you guys. I'm not even a farmer, ( I know, I know....) but your family works hard, plays hard, have great morals, loves life, and YOU HAVE FUN!!. You are an inspiration to me, and I am sure the same to many, many others. Keep up the great work, and God Bless! Thank you Welker Family!!

Here in western Europe we understand the relief of rain, fortunately in june we had a reasonable amount of rain. Between februari and the beginning of june we had almost no rain. The last two years were dry from around May to September

[@nickkercheval2704]

I too have had many times when I’ve been happy and somewhat frustrated at the same time. Goes with the territory. BTW, I knew you were getting rain as I look at the radar here in the eastern panhandle of WV and then across the country for Brian, Zach and you. Happy for you!

[@joiemcleod959]

Always amazed to see your fields. In many shots you can’t even see the end of the rows. That’s mind blowing for a North Carolina country girl!

They had somewhere between 6 and 9 inches of rain near Grand Forks ND yesterday.

[@spliceoncharlie]

Happy Fourth Welker Farms. Love your channel. Thank you guys for the content.

[@stevenweich863]

Offset the rear axle wide and keep the front narrow. Each tire in its own path gives very little damage to the crop.

[@colincostine9775]

wish we could get .8 inches here in NH. The forecast was for 1.5 and we got .5. better than nothing.

[@markd1996]

Mentioned the dew on crop when spraying the best way been told to test it is get the wetter or adjuvant using and spray it with a hand bottle and watch to see if it makes the dew run off creating a rain event in the crop canopy, If dew doesn’t run off like rain go get her done

[@robertg.9964]

Here IN the East, 8/10th is a misting for us. In one cloud burst that can last only 20 minutes will drop 1-4" of rain. But you get to see better lightning storms because of your view.

[@archuka1]

WOWIE -- had no clue about expense of spraying but I understand when it has to be done get it done

[@jameswilson3979]

We had 3 inches of rain the other night. Now waiting to spray corn but it’s about to get to tall and canopy the rows

[@robertreznik9330]

We finished wheat still to take 2500 bushels to elevator and put part in the seed bin. The last day was a bugger! Never a day like this in 60 years. We has the alternator quit in the combine...getting to it is not so simple. We had a tire go bad going 18 miles to elevator that was still taking wheat before closing early for 4th of July. I got ready to dump 300 bu and found the grain tank empty. After looking for a while, found the grain auger pan under the sieve fell off. Took a while to find it under the straw. It fell off on the end of the pass before the last dump. We bought this combine used and someone didn't tighten the 5 bolts holding the pan on. Hope your last day of harvest will go better. On Our first day the engine drive damper stripped out..the engine had to be taken out.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

That would be a day worth calling it over. 🙉

[@tcrasey]

Nick and Bob, Thanks for the enjoyable video!

[@danieljohnston5306]

God Bless the Welkers, praying for bumper crops! Love the videos and keep up the good work.

[@larrystockwell8994]

You were happy with .8 inch of rain, nice. This week in Wis they got over 8 inches of rain near Baldwin. Washed out a major north south highway over there lots of flooding there. But it is not the first time there are some pretty steep ravines there and it gathers the water fast. Here in MN we got a little less but still landslides near Mankato MN. Some roads closed still. Funny what a difference a (.) can make isn’t it. That’s just a little info you probably didn’t need. But hey keep on farming cause I like eating. I remember the routine, grew up on a dairy farm no free days there either. Have a good couple days off you deserve them.

[@markuss.6057]

Hey Welkers, I love watching your videos! They are good english training for me ... at least for listening. Little tip for your product pump on your trailer: If you like to improve the efficiency and capacity of your pump, just avoid the usage of such sharp bends downstream and especially upstream your pump. A hard 90° bend at the intake side causes huge flow separation and affects both pump capacity and efficiency ;-) Stay safe and sound! Best regards from Bavaria!

6:30, I learned to drive truck in one almost identical to that, just a single instead of a tandem axle.

[@alexveldhuis6004]

The issue you describe running on the crop is why tramlining was invented, where the seeder is equiped to block 2 pairs of seeding coulters every 3rd pass or whatever. This requires the seeder to be an exact division of the width of the sprayer. It means you save seed and it is dead obvious where the sprayer is meant to drive. Usually for pre emergence wide profile tyres are used as the crop will recover more easily when the weight is spread and as the crop grows, producers switch to a standard or even narrow section wheel/tyre set up to stay within the lines created by the blocked off coulters. At that stage too the rains have stopped and the ground is harder. This is the type of system that I am used to and GPS and auto steering has probably done away with it, but tramlines save seed and provide clear and obvious marking so no cock ups over and under spraying and no plant damage from running on crop. But yes, you must choose your drill size which has to be an exact division of your applicator width. This is not for the Welker family, who I am sure know what I am on about, but for the followers that may not be aware of the existence or understanding of 'tramlines'.

Another GREAT episode of Welker Farms - I have now watched every episode - and - all of the sudden - WHAT? No more??? Now I have to wait for Wednesdays and Saturdays??? What do I do the rest of the days? I'm addicted, shaking - starting withdrawal .......... uh ... oh no!!! Wait a minute - I've got it! I'll just start over LOL Whew!

[@robertreznik9330]

We stream on 26-0-0-5 Even 6 gpa could make 10 more bushels. With the plentiful soil moisture 3 more bushels would be very likely. A nutrient healthy wheat plant use less water to make a bushel. There is an old "wives tale" that fertilizer burns a water stressed crop but it is not backed up by research.

Oh man that green sprayer looked so nice, there’s a reason why those manure spreaders are also red.

[@everettclark9146]

I wish we had a nice sprayer like the Patriot. We have a old 20ft pull behind sprayer. I guess the best part of the new technology is the radio and ac. Also, that would be a small small rain over here in Indiana, the other day we got a heavy down pour which gave us 3in in 45 minutes.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Amazing downpours

They were real nice, some of our corn is already 6ft high. The rains we have had the past two weeks really helped because we had no rain for about a month.
