Your videos are incredibly informative and helpful for farmers. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience!

Mike, thanks, great videos. That is our food, that is the source. Then the journey to our table. People need to know. All that investment, high risk due to weather and other factors. It could all go wrong. Thank the farmers.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

This farm operation isn’t far from me and it’s awesome seeing the video. It’s a huge operation and Mike has really gone through hoops to give us this inside view because we’re seeing more of the operations in this video than you can even see in person. Very private ordeal with multiple landlords and owners. So thank you very much for this opportunity. For those wondering how large this farm operation is just know for North America and the Midwest it’s a big operation and closed info to the public for several reasons.

[@davehughesfarm7983]

Because in that area they probably have ran some families out of business and are not liked......Do ya really need all this? NO. But its nice to watch and Mike does a good job for sure..

[@switzerblitzer2701]

@@davehughesfarm7983 Yes Dave, you are probably right on target with your post. The bigger problem is that Crossroad Farms didn't get this large all by itself. They had over $15.5M in help from the federal government, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Almost anyone can make it with that much financial backing without having to do any more work to get it. Farming is considered to be of a national security type business and if that is the case then there should be more people on the land and not less and less farmers. It's a can't fail dilemma which guarantees wealthy farmers to become even more wealthy at the taxpayer's expense. Subsidies SHOULD be based on need, income and start-ups and NOT volume of production. I was born and raised farming too and our backup was livestock and not subsidized crop insurance, price guarantees, etc. A big belly is quickly becoming a trademark of modern American farming. Isn't it comforting to know that most all the equipment in this video is "owned" by the American taxpayer but the taxpayer will never see a return on investment? Take a look.... farm.ewg.org/persondetail.php?custnumber=A03182883 BTW, nice video Mike.

[@richardgrumpywelsh2485]

Mike I am one of many that has never seen such great equipment and I have lived my entire life of 90 years in the USA. It takes great skills to build and operate the harvesters. Thanks for showiing this video to us.

Love all the stats on these machines. Found your channel because I am a fan of Tracy Zeorian who introduced me to these big harvesting machines.

[@ncpanther]

Always appreciate your honesty in your videos. Carbon to nitrogen ratio means everything with regeneration ag additional to abused soils. Each year you have more roots and residue the more forgiveness your soil will have. We figured out that taking a precentage of our dry program out and using those dollars with a low-salt infurrow gets us up and going quicker and dryer in the fall on corn especially in the colder springs here lately with a sugar source and water diluting it down to run 5gal an acre. Youre bringing the best out of tough ground. You will wish you did it 20 years ago when your soil structure catches up. Many blessings to you, your family and operation!

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Let's see. 2 Combines at a million a piece, Bank out wagons and tractors anoer million a set. Three tractor and three balers @750 t0 850 a piece, bale wagons times 2 gotta be another 1.5 million. Then the ground prep and planting. More money than I've seen in once place in a long long times. Great video Mike.

We farmed 750 acres in Aurora Indiana just south of Connersville for most of my childhood. That area is now the Brookville reservoir. I sure wish we had some of this equipment growing up.

[@giantdutchviking]

10:51 any reason why the grain field sometimes seems to miss a few rows? Is just on purpose or is this the result of a clogged planter row for a small amount of time? Loving the vids, not a farmer but the hard work by these/you guys makes me appreciate my food even more.

[@Beyonder8335]

That particular one looks like they took too wide of a turn on the end and didn’t square it off before they put it down. Blockages and such like you mentioned can also cause stuff like that, we’ve also had spots where the planter just gives up and shits itself for 20 feet for no apparent reason. Computers I guess lol.

[@joescheller6680]

@@HAWKSTA24 well if you would care to check it the whole combine is run and controlled by computer that regulates everything on the machine. Nothing functions on machine without it.

[@joeahopelto8032]

The equipment can rely on computer control without the fairy-tale AI. The computers still have to be programmed by humans. I'll accept AI after one computer falls in love with another computer, they get married and they give birth to little computers. It ain't gonna happen.

[@farmhandmike]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@onurcan8434]

Having the combine harvester spread the hay on the field surface is a very good tactic. Thus, the straw that receives 1 - 2 winds dries instantly and becomes ready for bale making. The most important thing in the baling business is to first make the straw very thin, and then move the straw bales as soon as possible before they get caught in the rain. nice workmanship...

[@brennanIX]

Whaddya mean "make it thin"? Like, to spread out the swathe to cover as much surface area as possible instead of more condensed rows? It makes THAT much of a difference in moisture content during just that short time between harvest and bailing? If the swathe was a more condensed/thicker path, you wouldn't be able to bale without using a tedder first, or?

[@onurcan8434]

@@brennanIX I used the word thin to mean low vertical height. It may cover a little more area, but the drying time will definitely be much shorter. Each region has different climate and weather conditions. Anything can happen at any time. Therefore, farmers with large land holdings also face greater risks. There is no difference between a straw bale that has not dried sufficiently and a straw bale that has been exposed to rain. Decay occurs due to heating. In other words, the important thing is not making the bale, but the part after making the bale. Therefore, it is important for the straw to dry and be ready for baling as quickly as possible. In fact, it is not the heat but the wind that does the drying. and as altitude decreases, the amount of air intake also decreases. Therefore, it takes longer for short-legged crops to be ready for harvest than long-legged crops. The same situation applies during baling work. Instead of waiting overnight for the temperature to drop and the wind to dry the straw, it would be a more accurate method to spread the straw in a thin layer on the field surface.

[@jamesbaxter2812]
