The inventors and builders of the combine harvester can't possibly be praised enough. Once upon a time, 80% of American had to work on farms to keep the country fed. Today it's around 4%.

The abundance achieved by modern farming methods would be miraculous to our ancestors. Hardly any of us today even have to think about where our food comes from, and that's thanks to people like you and your family. I wish you every possible success.

Hi Molly! It’s so cool to see a video like this and be able to understand the processes you are going through to harvest and store your grain corn. Larson Farms, and millennial Farmer are great channels as well. There is another channel I think you might find fascinaating. It’s called “Working Horses with Jim” He harvests a small field of grain corn to feed his animals and I believe he sells some, mainly for cow feed. The interesting thing about him though is everything is done with draft horses. Talk about the other end of the spectrum. The channel itself centers around him and the horses and how he uses them to accomplish everything on the little upstate New York farm. He is also a logger and he uses the same horses to do the logging as well.

I'm a huge fan of HAYDENONHARVEST here. They are traveling harvesters with near the top of the line JD combines. Bit of a difference from yours. Also a bit of a difference from 4 row pickers used back in my day where the corn was harvested remaining on the cob. That's why we had so many cats. Corn was stored in a crib over winter to dry....mice and rats. But IMHO, simpler times were better times. Thx for sharing your harvest with us.
