Corn harvest 2016!

[@bradleyg1192]

Being new to Farming SImulator and hearing so much about the Millennial Farmer channel, I decided to start watching from what I assume was the beginning days. Extremely interesting stuff. I look forward to seeing the progression over the years (i've got a lot of catching up to do).

[@TNels]

I'm doing the same. Although I keep hearing about FarmSim in the comments here. May need to check that out haha.

[@chriskautz4887]

I play it

[@FlightPlanAviation]

I’m laying in bed right now and the random thoughts are crazy. This was the first video I’m seen from the Actor that plays the Millenial farmer on KZbin and I’ve been watching ever since. Amazing content

[@ianrobinson1589]

Thanks for giving a great description of how the combine works

[@munsterfloyd]

My 5 year old son loves your videos. He loves all things tractor. We are in County Cork in Ireland.

[@calebmills5365]

Back in the day with the 8 row head and the 8260 pulling the 1348

[@brianhubbard7606]

I am not a farmer but I do have farmers in my family and I own 200 acres 100 woods and 100 field. I lease the field and the farmer grows hay. I'm a retired cop and travel as much as possible in my RV. Locally there are several farms the biggest being about 17,000 acres hear in Warren county Ohio. I enjoy the videos.

[@cameronadams9365]

Brian Hubbard You're one county over from me then. I'm down in Clermont.

[@brianhubbard7606]

Yes. are you a farmer or police officer, or do you have a better smarter job.

[@carter74cole50]

I'm from Ohio too and i work on a farm in Wayne county.

[@puffytacoxxv]

cool to see the improvements you have made over time with editing and video material. props to you sir. love your videos. very informative and fun to watch!

[@waterskiingfool]

You did a great job explaining what was going on with the harvest

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Grew up on the biggest farm in Isanti County, MN in the 1960s. I miss working in the fields.

[@drewspobox]

Great video as always! You make the most knowledgeable farm videos I've ever seen. Nice operation

[@ec6933]

This is the best farming video I’ve seen so far thank you so much just shared!!

[@sthpac69]

This is so interesting. I have watched corn seed being planted and now harvested. My next trip is to the grain elevator to see how it is purchased for processing. A real cool vid and I will return for more. My wish list at 68 is to visit a farm that is at work. I know I would like it a lot different than the school field trip 55 years ago.

[@annafraley5388]

We find it ALL interesting, so you can basically Film ANYTHING...!! ✅

[@owenbarrow9688]

my cousins grandpa is a farmer and it’s amazing to see how big the carts are compared to the tractors

[@bodieburton6122]

You remind me of my dad that spends his time in the field and combine 24/7

[@JoshuaMitrovFengHanzue]

Was looking for farming simulator videos and found this channel. Love watching these vids and learning so much more about farming. Wish I could use the monitors in my simulated tractors like you do in your real one.

[@vthompson3236]

I just finished soybeans today and I am going to stat corn by the end of this week hopefully

[@zigi4334]

I had no idea farming was so computerized,awesome video.

[@logandewulf5060]

Here in central eastern Iowa we are getting an avg of 236 bushels per acre

[@canvids1]

great video sire I live in Toronto but grew up on a farm in the 40's 50's but love looking at all the new stuff out there and enjoy it all thanks for your video. and have subscribed too.

[@pennycrafts3066]

love your vidoes so much im going all the way back to watch from te beginning awesome videos zac

[@rubenbenitez8225]

HELLO FROM TEXAS. LOT OF GREAT CORN BE SAFE GOD BLESS. THE HARVESTING

[@mattmatt7072]

Amazing how far you’ve come

[@hockey161616]

Getting some drone shots of harvesting would look great!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Jake Finnegan Stay tuned!! I have the video, just waiting until I get some time to sit down and learn how to edit it!

[@bman-xy9yh]

This is so cool. I’ve always wondered what’s behind corn

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

Good job. Great to get it out of the field.

[@aramet01]

Great Video ! keep up this good work !

[@MillennialFarmer]

Aramet Thank you!

[@jimbo10003]

I can see the cobb falling off, but they are individual bits going into the chaser bin. where do whole corn on the cobbs come from or do you use a different header or species for them?

[@myronparks3495]

I see you have a lot of cobs in the grain tank. Concave set to tight. Also is see the moisture is 19-20 percent. When you dry that corn down to 15 percent there will be some shrink. That will reduce your yield.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Myron Parks We have been adjusting the concave but that's not the issue. The cobs are brittle this year and it's hard to keep the tank sample clean without leave 3-4 bushels on the ground behind us. The 2630 also already adjusts the shrink into the displayed yield.

[@FARMERHARDY]

So u have a stock cutter head and a big extended storage on combine

[@cooldog60]

I love your videos. Keep making them.

[@gingerzipzapsnap369]

I drive a 9870 too on our farm. We also have a 9760. How can your combine harvest at that speed?!

[@chase.b2967]

It’s either going to be priced into food or turning into ( my favorite ) deer corn

[@bobbysears6626]

I thought y’all made more bushels per acre than that but y’all don’t have to put much fertilizer or nitrogen do you?

[@The_Christ_Angel]

HI THERE! CAN YOU PLEASE POST A VIDEO AND EXPLAIN THE CORN QUALITY AT THE POINT WHERE IT GOES INTO THE HOPPER. IS IT WET? IS IT DRY? IS THE THE POP CORN WE EAT AT MOVIES? HOW DOES IT TAKE IT OFF THE COBB WITH OUT DAMAGING IT? WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP FOR THE CORN THAT YOUR HARVESTED?

[@everchevy]

I am sure someone has thought of this but why don't you drop a pin on your map where your drain tile uprights are like you do rocks when you see them when you are doing tillage? Asking for a friend LOL. I will get all your videos watched some day soon with the cold weather approaching.

[@danellenelson8713]

You guys need to make more combining and ripping vids

[@jonathanb9429]

Enjoy your videos !

[@brandonhickman6658]

I was wondering If you had considered running one large combine with maybe a 16 row head Instead of the two. Also wondered If you would ever consider a Claas combine? Thanks I really enjoy you're videos!!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Brandon Hickman We only run 2 combines for soybeans. When we harvest corn we only have enough trucks and a large enough grain dryer to keep up with an 8 row header! We have considered getting a 12 row header, but haven't yet.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Brandon Hickman As far as the Claas goes, I would never rule any specific brand out, but finding service for them in our area is tougher. The service we get from the local Deere dealer has been great.

[@howardyounger5456]

That is one heck of a machine. The last machine I used was a Gleaner L it is a baby now What combines do you run?Like your videos .

[@MillennialFarmer]

Howard Younger We run a 9870 on the corn and we run the 9870 along with a 9650 on beans

[@eltonbowles1392]

Howard Younger h

[@sigurdurpeturunnarsson1491]

[@Oleg-tb8cl]

Very good! Отлично и очень красиво!

[@waylondunkin3175]

Are both of y'all's corn heads the same width? How many rows are they?

[@justlooking2013]

Looks like great corn. The tank filled up behind you really quick. How many acres did you plant?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Justlooking About 1,100

[@justlooking2013]

How much full time help do you have?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Justlooking Just Dad and I full time. We have a few other guys who help a lot during harvest, planting, and when we need truck drivers.

[@jasonhardin4975]

Great video!

[@Davobeff]

nice to see what happens elsewhere in the world. Is corn and soy the only crops in your rotation or do you have wheat or barley in the mix as well?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Davobeff We have grown just corn and soy for several years. Wheat is not profitable in our area so there is not much of it anymore.

[@fungimarklinux8658]

Modern farming at its best.

[@AndersonFarms]

that's nice to see you got the row sense and you like it. it even works on the ends! is that a 2730 ripper?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Anderson Farms 2700

[@stuartsmith7618]

Loveing the channel just recently found your channel on here some really great types on seed drilling. Not only that some fantastic bits of farming kit John deer’s all the way and love the pickup and big rigs in some of your other videos . Are you from Canada 🇨🇦

[@MillennialFarmer]

Stu Smith No, we're in Minnesota

[@stuartsmith7618]

MN Millennial Farmer are ok I will have a look on google etc some really great videos on your channel etc love the American way of farming massive

[@isarob03]

Dang! Auto steer sounds nice! Wish i had that! lol

[@MillennialFarmer]

Nimacihsinwi ašiihkiwi it's awesome!

[@clearingbaffles]

I don’t know why you complain about not having enough time to put these videos together you have auto steer and all that free time going back and forth lol Thanx from slightly warmer Kalifornia although we have 150% of normal snow/water from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

[@2fast65]

great job on the video thanks

[@jamesmckay9966]

Zack,, How long did the Swedish language persist in your family and area. Jim

[@MillennialFarmer]

James McKay there's still a few old timers in the area who have the accent. It would maybe be with my family if not for an early death/remarry/relocate situation.

[@rileythompson5127]

U just made a new subscriber

[@noelhohberger1072]

Good Stuff!

[@bradnoe7355]

Why do you run a vertical auger in the grain tank we run a mauer bin extension and don't run one does it pill better or?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Brad Noe Honestly we traded combines this year, it was in there when we bought it and I never asked anyone about it! We ran a Maurer extension on our other machine and never had the extra auger so I'm not sure...

[@nisa2043]

do a farm equipment tour

[@TodoEn1Clic]

Greetings. Do you know of any website that has farms milk for sale?

[@Junior-oe3hp]

we are finishing up our corn tommorow then moving to beans on monday

[@Junior-oe3hp]

just one question how come u have a 24row corn planter n 8row corn head?

[@nathanbecker936]

8 rows goes Into 24 3 times so it's perfect and it'll run an 8 row all day long

[@Junior-oe3hp]

Nathan Becker but why not just have a 12 row it's be so much easier

[@nathanbecker936]

It'll run an 8 row all day long and the auger on the combine probably won't reach the center of the grain cart if there was a 12 row on it. That's why we have always rand 6 and 8 row heads

[@MillennialFarmer]

Raylon We will probably go to a 12 row some day but for now our grain dryer can only keep up to an 8 row head anyway!

[@josephmoretto4218]

Have you ever tried playing farming sim, I know, it's kinda dumb to talk about farming games on a real life farming channel but it's just fascinating to see how realistic it is!!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Red hills Blue sky's I have never tried it but I know a lot of people who have!

[@kris7625]

whats second auger in the middle of the tank for, we have a 9870 and a s680 and i've never seen one of those on a combine before

[@MillennialFarmer]

Kris Cipywnyk It's an after market auger that they claim makes it easier on the fighting in the tank auger. We have never had it on a machine until this one. We bought it used and it came with it. We are thinking we might take it out because it will hit the top of the shop door if we forget to fold it up, and eventually we will!!

[@cohenmason3949]

Is that a John Deere 7r

[@ericvannes3222]

What model combine and header are you guys running? Great video

[@MillennialFarmer]

Eric Van Nes 9870 with a 608C header

[@mattgrover9562]

nice video. how would I go about learning how to run a combine and stuff BC I'd love to have a job like that

[@MillennialFarmer]

Matt Grover That's a tough one, I would suggest talking to some local farmers in your area to see if they need any extra help.

[@mattgrover9562]

Ya I will next spring milk prices are low so no one is hireing but all the farmers contract out the harvest and field work

[@MillennialFarmer]

Matt Grover You must be further south where a lot of guys have custom harvesters do their combining? In that case you should try to get hooked up with a custom harvest crew somehow. Nobody will put you in a combine right away but after you're around for a while and you prove yourself they might.

[@danivanon]

2:48 - does that arm have to be cleaned with as strict conditions as food processing plants?

[@bluegrallis]

No, nothing is 'Food Grade' clean.

[@kyeprice1301]

How deep do you run your ripper and what kind of shanks do you use?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Kyle Price Roughly 5" and we use the 10" JD points

[@Pawel_Agro]

Hi ! How have you yield per hectare? I'm from Poland. In here we have 13000kg (28660,09 lb) this year 2016.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Paweł Kędziorski Hello! If I did my math correctly, we are averaging around 27,000-30,000 pounds per hectare!

[@Pawel_Agro]

Every year? Because last year was a drought, I had only 18,000 pounds per hectare.

[@Pawel_Agro]

My English is middle (medium) :P

[@MillennialFarmer]

Paweł Kędziorski Not every year. Our average is about 23,000. This year is very good.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Paweł Kędziorski Ours is all sold by the bushel but if my math is correct again it would be roughly .06-.07 / pound now.

[@mike81951]

Love it good video

[@bobcat12m]

Sent you a facebook message I'd like some pictures of the John Deere 2700 ripper, and how it works in the corn stubble. We chop stalks and want to get away from doing that thanks great video.

[@ajaxfox5055]

Nice video! Whats your john deere combine series? +1 subs

[@MillennialFarmer]

Qc-jeuneloup- Gaming We have a 9870 and a 9650. No S series yet. Nice machines but they're still too expensive! Thanks for the sub!

[@ajaxfox5055]

MN Millennial Farmer nice! Thank you for replying quickly

[@silversapindaceae]

that’s really cool actually...

[@jackthefarmer8516]

What is that corn called?

[@chasef14]

how many acres do you own?

[@BobL84]

here in Nebraska we average 250 bushels per acre

[@MillennialFarmer]

Bobby Livingsworth that would be unbelievable for us!

[@BobL84]

we also have 24 row heads on our machines now

[@jackhale268]

I like the vid. We dont use our computers. Lol. We are old school...

[@KK-jl2nu]

Does this same machine harvest weat too

[@MillennialFarmer]

K K We don't grow any wheat but yes, it is capable of harvesting wheat.

[@HenrikSkov-DK]

How in the h#ll does the mashine seperate the corn from the corncob? I have always wondered... It like corncob comes in, magic happen and corn comes out hahaha...

[@MillennialFarmer]

Watch my video "how a combine works" from about 16 months ago

[@atmidnight8740]

Haven't seen the JD with tracks in your other videos. Did you trade your 4WD for the Track?

[@MillennialFarmer]

At Midnight We still have the 4wd but the lease was up on the 8335 so now we went with an 8360RT

[@atmidnight8740]

Thanks. Great videos. I appreciate the hard work all farmers do and enjoy watching the videos

[@MillennialFarmer]

At Midnight Thank you!

[@Pakoloko107]

What is the production of corn

[@MillennialFarmer]

Vsjunior sani last year was a record for us-around 200 bushels/acre average. 10 year average is probably around 170

[@arnoldvaldez6756]

How many acres are does

[@tommac9992]

I spy cab corn falling down during the unload at the begining of the video

[@gm061386]

Great video! How do you drive this harvester?

[@francescoferigutti7306]

Gabrierl Mendez with the steering wheel

[@gm061386]

MrFFerigS lol no shit

[@BOHDYYYY]

Monsanto have best seeds on Market 👍👍👍👍👍 I have 500 acre of corn for silage from Monsanto every year 😊 Monsanto is best

[@toddnelson4856]

yea right.

[@alcramer7992]

BOHDYYYY mansanto sucks.

[@markopirak1]

What is the price for dry corn at you this year

[@MillennialFarmer]

Marko Pirak It changes every day but lately the local price has been around $2.60-2.75 per bushel

[@johndeereman3363]

dang thats some good corn.

[@jacksoncarnage]

I subscribed

[@siwarbou3bena787]

this must be a lot of fun!

[@MrRICHCOL]

Any idea of the cost of the harvester machine?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Naba very expensive when they're new! Even when they're used!

[@MrRICHCOL]

Any recommended websites or dealers to check the price out?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Naba fastline.com or Tractor House

[@jakehalbersma5672]

why are you taking so much cob?

[@MillennialFarmer]

jake halbersma We seemed to have brittle cobs this year. if we closed the sieves down enough to keep the cob out, we were sending corn out the back.

[@jakehalbersma5672]

our cobs are coming put whole this year. it's shells really easy.

[@lukehayter508]

Are you near Mankato ?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Lukey is Fishing We are roughly 3 hours northwest of Mankato, near Alexandria

[@outbackfarms9197]

MN Millennial Farmer i got some family up just slighlty west of Alexandria. . Nice video by the way i love your channel

[@danellenelson8713]

But great job!!!!

[@eastpantherbenz]

Looks like a lot of broken cobs coming in.

[@MillennialFarmer]

bimmerman3 We have been trying to clean those up but whenever we adjust to get them out we end up leaving some on the ground this year.

[@eastpantherbenz]

MN Millennial Farmer Do you think it has more to do with the hybrid?

[@MillennialFarmer]

bimmerman3 No it's consistent with every hybrid this year

[@eastpantherbenz]

MN Millennial Farmer There wasn't much trash going in.

[@kojetanab]

Is that GMO corn ?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Petar Conkic Yes it is. The technology has been great for us. We don't need to use any pesticides on our corn, and we use less harmful herbicides.

[@luger9774]

I'm geting one 🆕🌽🌾🚜

[@joshlahlum4371]

Why do you use auto steer? I just go and drive, i just go until the field is done, I purposely missed a day of school because I was combining in my S680 so I didn't have to deal with my bullies

[@Zack-lr2lo]

Is it just me or does that not look like corn

[@tebfarms939]

8 row head 24 row planter?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Tate Bardall Yes, in our area we feel it's really important to get the crop planted as early as possible (while still hopefully avoiding a freeze) but as of now our grain dryer can only keep up with an 8 row head anyway... a 12 row head will likely be one of n our next upgrades.

[@gabewynne3025]

Where y'all at I'm from here in nc

[@eooliebooger]

Thanks for the videos. I like how you expline the computer an how they work. x farmer but never ran a combine. my be soon
