Bless the American Farmer. Backbone of America. Nice Liberty water jug. Safe harvest from Houston Texas.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Those jugs are used for multiple things around the farm.

[@Doug-In-TN]

Glad you got started in corn. Maybe rain will save the soybeans. Be safe

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Don’t know how much but we have gotten a good rain last night.

[@mattthompson7939]

Unless every farmer has contracts to fill I would suggest holding the crops as much as possible to allow prices to go back up . Our government needs to help out more than they do

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Sometimes bills have to be paid first. In my opinion the government needs to stay out of farming. USDA is a crock of 💩

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Josiah sure is an animated little guy.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

He has a little sister that is the same way. He asked if she could ride the next time

Hello Russ enjoyed your video. The young man and his talking made me smile i enjoy children his knowledge of things. Corn is will be what our heavenly father gives us and for all of it im thankfull. Enjoyed your video have a great day.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Have a good day James

[@rongrose3746]

Yes, no money to be made this year. From Indianapolis.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

No money last year with 200 bushel corn. I’m hoping the rain we are finally getting now will help the beans.

[@rongrose3746]

@@Thomasfarmstn I sure hope so !! Too late up here .

[@eddiebrown856]

Russ ,hate today yours is much better than here in va. I haven't spoke to owner yet but insurance company was supposed to look few days ago. I would say maybe15 bushels per acre if lucky. Owner said he is investigating rolling it and wrapping it for high moisture feed. Had little rain but water supply is dangerous low.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

15 is low. I harvest the test plot in the next video. So variety’s are not good.

[@DarrylSparlin]

Prayers for our farmers. We can't live without them. We need our truckers too.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

It’s gonna be a rough year but we will get by.

[@CrazyTurbo-cx8ye]

Thank you for taking your time to let little man ride along with you in the grain cart that's memories that he will carry on forever👍

[@Thomasfarmstn]

He rides with us every year.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Praying for your harvest Russ, I know how tough it is for you guys and our government could care less. Take care my friend and hope y’all have a blessed week ahead my friend.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We would be better if the government would stay out. Government farming is Socialism at its best.

[@gregrhodes8451]

I'm here ole buddy! Corns gonna be rough here to. I'm close to starting.😂

This much needed rain will delay us.

[@RemembranceFarmsLLC]

Good to see you out in the field. It sure looks dry!

[@Thomasfarmstn]

It’s been a rough year.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Heck yeah, corn harvest has started!!! Hate that about your truck driver. I hope he does well with it! Sounds like the corn is about what you expected. Was that antifreeze smell just left over from the repair? That young man is a genius!!! I was wondering if you were gonna get a word in, very smart young man!! Hopefully the rain helps the beans!! Thank you Russ for bringing us along!! 🌽🌽🌽👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲😁😁😁

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We are getting rain and 3 loads and the antifreeze smell is gone. Josiah could run for president and be better than the contestants we got.

Same in central Kansas. 3rd year in a row.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We had several good years the last few years. Yeah I’ve got some business associates in Hiwattha KS I talk to a lot.

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Best of luck we’re probably starting in 2 weeks maybe sooner

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Hope yours is better than ours

[@TheCritterWindow]

I share crop about 25ac here in SE Indiana. We haven't had rain in going on 9 weeks. None in sight. My corn looks bad. Spindly stocks small ears not filled to the top. We just went under a burn ban. Crop fires could be bad this year.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We got about 5” over the weekend. I think it will help out the later soybeans here. Hope you get rain soon.

[@jslade60]

That young man is definitely a future farmer. Already figuring out ways to make good decisions and cut corners😊

[@Thomasfarmstn]

He is something alright.

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello, Russ! I hope you'll have a better luck with the beans!

It’s called editing. I did spill some.

[@felixrentz1342]

The corn sample looks good coming out of the combine.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks!

[@gzahirny]

Weird how corn is harvested at different times... Used to seeing it October/November , in Minnesota it's still green

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We probably planted earlier. We are a few weeks early because of drought.

[@maximush9811]

Looks like a good plant, just not a big enough ear. Have you've been dry since planting. We had 2 rows butt shelling last year and it left a bit on the ground. Hope it gets better for ya.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yes got everything planted and it turned dry for 6 weeks. Got a few rains over a week and it turned dry again. Raining at the present moment.

[@TNJohnDeeretractornut]

Hey brother, we're at West Tennessee area close to Paris or corn yields are good d but we got some full season soybeans and wheat beans that won't be worth cutting because of drought

[@Thomasfarmstn]

It’s all about when the rains hit this summer. I hoping beans will do decent. Maybe double crops will do good here.

[@michaelhelmick8225]

We got some Francine rain yesterday. Supposed to be more today. Whatever it is, it's too little too late for north Alabama crops. Josiah is a good young man. And that fine head of hair makes a bald guy jealous. 😅

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I think it will help the soybeans. Yep I use to have a head full of hair myself. When it got thin on top I just shaved my head for years. My daughter who is 14 asked me to grow it out. Yep still none on top. I’m having fun with what is left for now.

[@larrykeesee1442]

REALLY DRY IN INDIANA..

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Oh I thought the I states had a bumper according to the USDA.

[@craigrudd6093]

thanks for the video Russ

Great to see y’all harvesting Russ, hopefully the yields will improve 10 fold as y’all get further into harvest…little man was sure blessed with the gift of gab, God love him, he’s a mess😂👍🏻😂y’all take care and God Bless🇺🇸

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Josiah is a good kid from a good family. It’s good to have an imagination at any age.

[@TAHDAHFarm]

It has been a rough year. Glad your getting started. It sounded dry when you were walking in the field. We are still somewhat green on the corn. Beans are still very green. We will be at least 3 if not 4 more weeks to get started. Be safe.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Hopefully the rain we are getting will help the beans here. Hope your corn does better than ours.

[@dwalke26]

I seen that Deere steering wheel and thought, “oh shoot he’s traded”. Then I remembered, nope auto steer 😂. It’s got dry again back East too. We’ve got a little rain off the hurricane, but not much.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We’ve got quite a bit off the hurricane so far. It’s gonna help the beans out

[@dwalke26]
