Crop Flattening Windstorm Strikes Again

Love how dad sits and supervise you two boys reminds me of me and my brother Scott and dad

The pick up truck looks the part with the trailer connected. Hannah, you are such a great help. 👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@ginggur17]

Your time lapse was amazing. God bless you guys. 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇬🇧

Take the old roller to a driveline shop-- they can weld it back together true and you'll have a spare.

[@angus4202]

cheaper than a new one too

[@bryankeator8396]

Inline wrappers are the way to go. Used both alot.

[@johnmoore669]

Ryan I am so sorry to see the damage to your farm. The main thing is you all are okay and safe but my heart aches for the damages I seen in the drone footage. God be with you all. God Bless!

[@b2617]

Tell god to chill with the wind then...

[@georgedavidson7986]

Wrappers work real good. You can get the hay off when the weather is damp. But the plastic is expensive

[@keithwest2575]

So sorry for the damage. That is one more reason that I contend that farmers are the biggest gamblers that there are. Plant a crop and the majority of the time between planting and harvesting is out of your control. Best of luck, take care & stay safe.

[@timstevens2866]

Cool video of clouds rolling in!

[@Blueriverfarms]

Condolences on the crop losses; hope it is not as bad as last year! Here to keeping your head up and keep moving - forward.

awsome video ryan yes you will definally need a wraper in the near future will make things alot easeir and better for you thumbs up and shared

Sorry to see the crop damage after the storm. Very disheartning. Keep safe.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great How Farms work Video, thanks for sharing

[@glenfredrickson2881]

Ryan I think you have a pattern forming with down corn, you might want to look into copper levels in your corn plants with a Sap Analysis test. Adequate copper is needed for cell wall flexibility which would allow that corn to bounce back. I too, had lodged corn in the past few years. After doing a lot of sap testing this year I discovered most of my fields were deficient in copper and several other nutrients. Where I addressed that with some foliar application of copper and many other nutrients all of that corn is standing really well, where I didn't do foliar applications I see some corn going down in small areas from recent winds. I would venture a guess and say your corn would probably be deficient in other metals as well. Most of them are there in the soil but are oxidized and not plant available. Hence the need for a Sap Analysis test to get an accurate picture of what your corn is able to acquire from the soil.

[@HowFarmsWork]

We'll look into that! Thanks!

[@glenfredrickson2881]

@@HowFarmsWork If you want to dig deeper for a better understanding into the subject of oxidized metals in soils I would highly recommend a video recording of a webinar that Advancing Eco Ag has. The video on KZbin is titled "How to Release Manganese and other Metals from Soil Reserves." The first 36 minutes is the webinar recording the rest is Q and A format.

Easy on the bale’s Ryan!!! This isn’t Farming Simulator!!!

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

Good evening. Being a Propane hauler, bout the only thing you can do is 1 move the pig farther away from the house or 2 build a lean to or building around it but use lightening rods and run thick gauge wire to multiple rods driven into the ground 3 get a Propane pig that can be buried. Positive and negative results with each option. Propane expands 10x its liquid state in a atmospheric release. Vapor lights off 1st then the liquid. Repeat until no liquid or vapor is left. Be safe everybody

[@ericbray5596]

I just have one question and that is why do you not use forks for hay bales seems to much to line up the pallet forks

[@TheBeast3.8L]

Love watching your channel cause I get to watch everything that happens in the near by area. Keep up the Great work

[@robertbrewer7597]

I was told you have to replace both upper and lower drive rollers at same time. Replacing only one will cause excessive wear on chains and sprockets.

[@yvonnejohnson1557]

Instructions are only good for one thing starting fires thanks Gary

[@rusnsc7622]

Good grief! Between storms like this and drought elsewhere…Been tough this year in agriculture. Sorry for the hit to y’all’s farm Ryan. 🙏

[@SimonKL11]

It's so bad to see the damage. I just hope that harvest won't be too crappy☹

[@EtzEchad]

Boy, this has been a lousy year for all the farm KZbin channels I follow! I hope you didn't lose much.

[@nealhadley1482]

Some good drone coverage. Mother nater has NOT be very nice to farmers the last couple/few years,depending on what part of the country. I liked the way you straightened the sheet metal with the handy dandy crescent wrench. That is VERY HIGH TECH. Since I left the farm in the late 70's,I did the military thing for 5 years. Got a job doing Depot Maintenance on F-4's. That is the very tool we used to roll the forward edges of the main landing gear doors after final rigging. You don't want anything hanging down at the speed of a fighter's speed or it could just get damaged. I liked the comment about getting the old roller welded an keeping for a spare. It never hurts to have a spar anything on the farm.

[@tim_g3478]

Ryan, sorry to hear about the crop damage…..again! However, you are a fortunate man by asking Hannah to marry you. Anyone that has the foresight to save and bring the melted butter in the face of an emergency is a special person! Hannah’s skills keep coming out!

[@hannahsmith239]

😂😂 I was gonna make these brownie things and I just got the butter melted when Ryan walks in and goes, “I kinda wanna get home… there’s a bad storm coming” 😂

[@tim_g3478]

AND Brownies! Ryan, why did it take you so long asking Hannah to marry you! Hannah, you are a multi-talented person, from welding to baking to driving Big Red!

I loved the tube wrapper that I used to have, no special equipment needed lol

[@ohiofarmer254]

we had the same storm on the 11th here 83 mph winds for about 20 minutes. I dont know anyone with crop damage but every power pole on our road came down and we lost a bunch of trees 36 hours with no water sucks

[@waterskiingfool]

Sucks the weather got your crops again

[@jordanschneider6505]

I remember when that storm hit wisconsin and it was wild.

Cool timelapse. Hope your crops did ok. Looks like you have been getting plenty of rain.

[@keithkuckler2551]

Sad to here about your weather. I drove down from north east minnesota on the first week of August to visit and old friend of mine in Lancaster. I spent a few days in the area, and, the crops looked pretty good. We in Minnesota, especially the north east part have had almost no rain all spring and summer. I no longer farm, but, the drought has created the conditons for some big forest fires. Our air quality has been horrible because of the smoke, and, ash falling, even though i am almost forty miles form the biggest fire.

[@jacksmith827]

Ouch, looks like the wind did a number on that corn.

So sorry Ryan to see the storm damage, I guess you guys will have to use the reel of despair on some of your crops again. That’s horrible about your neighbors house.

Should get a bale trailer. And you can hook on to your truck with it.

It’s acid to help preserve the hay when it’s higher moisture

[@crazyredneck7284]

Hi Ryan, Have you seen the bale accumulator that Sonne Farms has been demoing..... Saves you a lot of time with piickup as all the bales end up in the same area.... Check it out sometime if you haven't seen one

[@ryanwaege7251]

We average about twice the yeild per acre in WI vs SD where the Sonne's farm, so it may not be worth it.

[@hturbo1007]

We had that same storm blow through Dubuque county. Some wind damage to corn. I've noticed that only certain hybrids were affected, saw it in the same field side by side one hybrid down and the next one standing right next to it unaffected. What hybrid are you using if you don't mind me asking?

[@chrisroeben1085]

Just be thankful that your farm isn't located in the northern part of the county along County T near Boscobel. Some flatten crops, a barn foundation wall crumbling away, or the neighbors propane tank being struck by lightning would have been the least of your concerns that day the tornado 🌪 swept through the area.

[@GoldPicard]

I was up in Marshfield that day and boy oh boy were those clouds moving, ended up having a load go down to Ohio and was basically chasing it all day and the light show was pretty impressive.

[@theGovnr1]

I am pretty sure OLF had a similar type of problem with his Baler earlier this year

[@chevyon37s]

Please for the love of god get some proper bale spears for the skidloaders

[@HowFarmsWork]

I have some, only prefer them when loading bales onto the bale carrier, otherwise when loading bales on the flatbed they’re hard to get off the spears when unloading, and you can stack them together tighter with pallets

[@charleslynch7274]

Sucks u guys got hit with another bad storm and knocked the corn over but on the bright side great to know Hannah is a scooby doo fan
