CONCRETE Boulder In Our Field?!?

[@brkapp]

"canada had a very weak border, glaciers snuck across.."😂😂😂 i died

[@JohnnyDelaney-mc5ve]

Same !!!!!

[@1983bronc]

It is an illegal rock. Deport it back to Canada. 😂😂😂

[@Saltshaker2016]

You mean that rock has only been there less than 4 years? 😳

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

And nothing’s changed since the boulder snuck in.

[@cameronhaynes4487]

jt let it happen lol

[@Pro-RTen]

So that rock is actually a sedimentary rock called conglomerate. Its a bunch of pebble sized clasts like quartz and other smaller rocks and minerals cemented by sand, silt, or clay. Its formed by glaciers that pick up a bunch of pebbles and small rocks and sand, silt, and clay and over time and with pressure it forms into what you dug out of your field.

[@WelkerFarms]

That makes a lot of sense!

[@jonathantillman842]

A lot of people dream that farming is about driving tractors, trucks and combines. While it is all of that it is also about fixing the weatherstripping on the 12x12 roll up shop door, digging bolders out of the field and it sounds like replaceing the transmission in the 544. I deeply appreciate the tough side of reality that is also farming. It is a great life if you have the abilities and patience for it! Thank you to the Welkers for making it look easy even when its not! Most of the Dad jokes are usually enjoyed

[@erickleven1712]

^^ This. I did two seasons hauling sugar beets up by Pembina, ND. It wasn't growing the crop that was the big thing, it was about keeping all the machines running. they had 20+ semi trucks and three beet lifters. The boss and at least one other guy seemed to always be changing a bearing or something. Amazing amount of labor to keep things going.

[@LuckyBaldwin777]

Plus, there is no more honorable of a profession than helping to feed others.

I'd say that Bob's performance in the backhoe was rock-solid! 😁🤘

[@wandahelmer1038]

Rock stellar 😊

'You can't take that for granite'.... Bob's dad puns just hit the next level...😊

I get SO happy when Nick, with a twinkle in his eye, says “something’s big is coming in the shop!” We never know what Frankenstein monster build will happen next!

The Snirt guy is awesome! I’ve seen him on a few other channels. Love his energy and love of his job and products.

Dang Ice Backs sneaking across the border, dropping their boulders everywhere!! Great video!

[@bigdog2024]

Love it “ The wind keeps stretching it”, I think that happens in West Texas too.

Jeff from snirt stopper is becoming a KZbin star ⭐️. Almost all the farm channels that I watch, he’s offering his services.

[@danrose3233]

Little did we know we have a border issue with Canada...those darn glacial rocks!

[@robertheinkel6225]

When the main administration building was being built at Chanute AFB Illinois, the contractor went bankrupt pouring the foundation. Concrete kept going in and disappearing. Many years later, while building a missile silo training facility. The contractor hit solid concrete over a half mile from the admin building. The whole area was swamp land, and the concrete flowed underground, only to be discovered later.

[@Vfh........y]

I went to school there in 81..usaf

[@stevewolf1682]

Isn't it amazing how the ground can shift those rocks to the surface. One year you are good and the next, there they are. Spent a lot of time following my Dad who was pulling an old hay wagon.

[@grstillwell4635]

I enjoy the big bud's and how you have kept them running. Good old American ingenuity. You can paint galvanized, but you have to prep it right. Vinegar with high acid content is a good prep wash that will etch the coating enough you can apply a premium primer. Then paint with a premium paint. Keep up the videos PS Bob seems to have a Bob Newhart dry sense of humor, always liked Newhart.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Excellent video. The gentleman that puts the seals on the doors visited you also. He has made the rounds to all of the KZbinrs. Huge huge huge rock you got out of the field. My goodness. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve

It’s amazing how far the snirt guys have traveled. From Minnesota to Nebraska to Montana.

Jimmy Hoffa is probably in that 6’ concert rock.

Check that concretion bolder for gold nuggets after a good rain cleans it. You may be surprised what you find:0

[@Nobody-Nowhere-USA]

That rock may be a piece of breccia, conglomerate rock often caused by an impact event! We have a lot of them in the area where I live!

[@douglascaton2215]

Came to say this.

[@admranger]

Thought there might be some geologists out there that could comment on what that was.

[@ChrisLochard-l6t]

I enjoy seeing your dad out working and the knowledge of the farm. I enjoy seeing the dog's in the videos.

[@RonMcMurray]

Make it easier on yourself when picking up rocks. I learned from my dad growing up on the farm to use a pitchfork to pick up rocks. It will save you a lot of bending over. You will be surprised at how big a rock that you can pick up without having to bend over. Of course the big ones need more than a pitch fork.

[@fasteddie3972]

Back in the day we had a rock twice that size and used a 4020 and 4320 to pull it to it’s resting place . Like ours that looks like a lime rock deposit left from glacier movement. Lime is great if you can spread it in pebble form.

[@stevemorley6617]

Dad’s got a dad jokes game like I’ve never head before. Lol On Point!

When you say your going rock hunting you go for massive boulders buddy wow

I knew Welker's would pitch in to help the Snirt Stopper installation. They are good people.

Petrified dinosaur poop. Something scared the crap out it. Nick since the snirt doctor Jeff showed up it reminded me of an old song. 🎵You picked a fine time to leave me loose SEAL. 🎶

[@clinthochrein888]

I really dig this video Bob …. you rock! 😄

[@reboot_2.00]

I had a rock poking up like that! When I started digging I got as far as 12 ft. long and 8 ft. across then I quit digging! It was solid granite! I reburied it and put up a marker flag!

[@TheOriginalAndysGarage]

You may have a field full of gold and you don't realize it, those glaciers pushed gold

[@billpotmesil]

Leave it to the Canadians to sneak concrete over the border at night! Bet it was a Mike Mitchell April Fools prank!

Way good job pulling rocks Bob! Nice fix for the door Nick going to help ! That's for sure!❤

A lot of the farmers I watch got snirt stoppers. I love to see small businesses like that are growing! They have a great product too

Turn your ceiling fans to counter clockwise rotation, it forces the warm air up in the ceiling down towards the floor.

[@j.ericswede7084]

My wife and I are Rockhounds. That big conglomerate rock is similar to "Pudding Stone" found back in Ontario and Michigan. It could be related to it. Great Video once again. #RockOn

[@nelsonoberg9747]

I'm going to say that it's a chunk of the Cypress Hills

[@j.ericswede7084]

@@nelsonoberg9747 Sure could be one of those Rocks that "sneaked across the Canadian Border" in the last Ice Age! 😉

Digging them rocks and Jeff huuuuu ? Big smile.......Thanks guy's an GOD BLESS.... Old F-4 pilot Shoe🇺🇸

[@stuartgallagher-kj9wo]

You should dig out the stone then dig the hole deeper then push the stone back in & you have enough soil to fill the hole again 👍👍 that's what we do

[@Kaptain13Gonzo]

Pebble conglomerate rock Glacial debris. Makes my geologist heart happy. Most likely a Canadian immigrant. ID is probably in it's other pants.

Can’t wait to see what your guys big project is! Thank you and God Bless

[@neiljohnson3406]

Agreed,bob was brilliant on backhoe,

[@oregonn8tive186]

You need to have Leg-Arms put a "thumb" on your backhoe, it would help moving rocks.

[@morgansword]

I have not heard that phrase in so many years... wind blew so hard that it stretched the state lines.

When Nick said big shop project I was like oh the Wagner gets build but apparently not 😂 maybe the Versatile gets a new life now... realistically it's a new bigbud rebuild seeing that one is sitting in the yard

[@mattgraham1983]

🤔 that's a crazy rock... it almost looks like someone has dumped a bunch of pre mix cement to fill a hole or get something out of a hole. Be cool to see it cleaned up👍

Got to love that "snirt" as Tony fast guy called it when they done his doors !!

Wow, lots off boulders you picked up already. Could build a solid foundation with them. For the bins? Looks like they"re growing in your fields. Well, rock on. It will not be the last one. More to come for sure. See you with pleasure.

Bob, great rock humor!!

[@caffrey9762]

Ive worked in Sand & Gravel pits in Europe , we have a name for these, we call them crags ( Celtic word) . They were formed during Iceage & glaciers. We would be digging into the pit face ( 100 ft high) & next thing these things appear, sometimes they fall or roll out of the pit face & come straight for the machines , they can be as big as a Truck 🤠. We break them, with the hydraulic rock breaker, they break a lot easier than solid stone.

[@mitch8226]

You brought me back to years ago ,helping my neighbor i was tasked to pick some rocks he gave me a list ,off i go ,i soon found one that exceeded our expectations in time and equipment ,i managed to float a massive Volkswagen sized sample with a backhoe similar in size to yours ,i could roll it with some difficulty, so i called for backup ,thinking one of the big iron on the farm could drag it away, well lets just say no good deed goes unpunished

[@thepaintprofessor]

Neutralize the galvanized steel with some white vinegar. Let it dry. Use a dtm primer then topcoat!

[@Whiskey61]

The name for those glacial boulders was always a favorite of mine growing up. They call them Erratic Boulders cause they just show up wherever.

[@louisglen1653]

No duty was charged on the rocks even though there was no free trade agreement at the time! 🤣

[@rogerkincaid4535]

I can see it coming in the future. Grandpa driving the backhoe and one of the grandkids driving the pickup and a dump trailer to rid the field of rocks. That's family working together.

[@chrishann5714]

In my part of Indiana we have stones but not to many bolders! But mowing my yard I hit a rock that it was all a 580 backhoe would roll out! Probably half the size you just took

That huge boulder looks like an erratic dropped by a glacier. It looks like an alluvial rock.

[@ihdieselman]

That rock is definitely a conglomerate. It is a rock made from older rocks and mud.

[@davidschroeder9516]

Granite rock is 166 LBS per Cubic foot, should give you a baseline for your rock! Maybe limestone.
