Wheat Harvest 2023 at Crossroad Farms in Indiana

Wheat Harvest 2023 at Crossroad Farms in Indiana
In this video I am out at Crossroad Farms near Williamsport Indiana. To start of they are busy harvesting their 2023 winter wheat crop using two of their John Deere X9 combines both with 50 foot wide flex draper heads. After the wheat is harvested they are raking, baling & stacking the wheat straw then tilling the ground and planting soybeans.
This is a long video with lots of different tractors and equipment running to get the job done.

[@SwaussieScott]

thumbs up to that operator at 49 minutes - thats some sweet skills... I challenge anyone to find a better overall harvest farming video - this is spectacular and shows what follows the harvesting. Thanks Mike :)

[@JustMyFish]

They Defiantly have the best equipment money can buy with the John dear and Wilson trailer you can't get better than that IMO.

another great video!

[@glennrhinehart3186]

Excellent video 😎

[@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.

[@framfull]

Capacity to new levels! Keep up the good work🤠

[@scottrosevold3645]

John Deere must love it, when these guys walk in their front door...

[@bobbydee1187]

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.

[@andresj361]

I live in central California so all I know about harvesting is either fruit/vegetables/almonds. A lot is done by hand. Seeing grains being harvested is dope as hell.

[@coryfritz295]

What an operation they have going on. WOW!! Amazing footage once again Mike. Thanks for sharing it with us. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mousefarm]

I would love to watch such machines harvest. they are amazing

Gobbling up the wheat 💪

[@aldolajak1267]

It's a good thing that there are wind turbines nearby, so that they can frequently recharge the batteries of these massive harvesting machines.

[@BocahTempel]

Alat berat modern yang sangat bagus sekali luar biasa manfaatnya. Pekerjaan petani lebih efektif dan efisien

[@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.

[@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...
