Cutting the hills together! - Grain Hogs S0207

For the first time in days, we are all cutting in the same spot! I got some decent shots today. Have a good one!

Really enjoy your Palouse farming videos. Keep them coming. 👍

[@TrevorStruthers]

Thanks, will do!

[@oldamericaniron5767]

I help a local farmer here in southern Wisconsin and it’s all GPS guidance, even the grain cart driving. I’m sure with the unpredictable drifting and sliding on the hills it keeps you busy with the old fashioned steering.😂

[@TrevorStruthers]

I have job security. There will need to be some serious AI involved in keeping the tractor and combine on the hillside

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, that slide toward the end of the video was pretty scary! thanks for sharing

Awesome video and keep up good work

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks Trevor for another impressive video.

[@TrevorStruthers]

Thanks again!

[@hugoagogo9435]

Cool. Very different to here in Scotland. We have steep ground but to see so much of it in crop is quite amazing. It’s big country you boys are in compared to here

[@alauer2101]

that land looks like a snowmobile riders paradise, just add snow.

[@TrevorStruthers]

I wish it ever got deep enough. It can in the foothills about 20 miles from here and you can see the sled marks in the field from the snowmobiles sometimes. I've taken mine out once, but there was only 6 inches of snow.

Your videos are really cool to me I have never seen a sidehill combine in action

[@richrich2755]

I drove a combine for a local farmer on the hills outside Pullman in 1979 after I graduated from WSU. Experience since 12yo working on the farm in North Dakota.

[@jeffreyhill8040]

The description says these are scenes from down near Dayton and Prescott, so even though it is technically still The Palouse Country, it is more than 60 miles south of Pullman. That is why they are harvesting this early. Chances are good we bumped into one another at some point in time. I grew up on a farm in the town of Palouse, and was a Staff Electrician at WSU from 1978 through 1982. What was your area of study? 105 buildings on the campus in those years and I worked in just about every one of them. When I was just a kid, they were still using the pull-type combines. Needed someone to drive the Cat tractor and another worker to ride up on the platform of the combine and level it by hand with a big wheel. No air-conditioned cabs in those days, just a big umbrella to keep the sun off. And speaking of North Dakota, I once helped a girlfriend deliver a friend's car from Lewiston, Idaho, to Beach, N.D. in the dead of Winter. We got a short tour of one of the farms there, and I was floored by the idea of 30-40 bushels/acre. Palouse Country used to average around 80, and one year (in the 1990's) our farm even had some 100-bushel wheat.

[@edschultheis9537]

​@@jeffreyhill8040 Wheat yields vary considerably in the Palouse region. Our family farm consists of various fields, mostly located within a 5 mile radius of Colton, WA (about 12 miles south of Pullman) in Whitman county (Palouse region). A couple of years ago we had one wheat field that averaged just over 145 bushels/acre. Whitman county is usually in the top 5 counties in the US for wheat yield per acre. But there are other areas in WA state that average more like 30 - 40 bushels/acre. A lot depends on the quality of the soil, rainfall, and weather. All of the fields on our farm are no-till. That helps to conserve moisture in the soil, greatly reduces or eliminates soil erosion on steep hills, and improves the quality of the soil over time. Incidentally, this link shows a graph of wheat production in Whitman county over a period 75 years. Due to improved farming practices, the wheat yield has increase an average of 2.95% per year. >> www.researchgate.net/profile/William-Schillinger-2/publication/324226706/figure/fig1/AS:612129212227584@1522954385521/5-Long-term-countywide-dryland-wheat-grain-yields-in-Whitman-county-Washington.png

Hello! Sidehill skills!

If you want to see steep view Berner Landtechnik. Maybe these guys have viewed his video`s. True hillside combine`s 4 way leveling and in some video`s you can see the driveline going to the rear axle.

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Thank you!

[@tiffrosestruthers4372]

Nice work Bro ❤

[@TrevorStruthers]

YAAA! Getting the famous.

[@nighthawksim6675]

It's amazing to me how u guys can harvest those hills with such modern machines. My uncle when he upgraded to an 8010 case ih and had hillside leveling had to stop farming parts of his land.

[@TrevorStruthers]

We must be greedier. We have an older machine but he keeps breaking down. So we send it with the new ones

[@nighthawksim6675]

[@nikoayz1739]

Пахать такие крутые склоны, это значит заведомо разрушать, и так очень тонкий , плодородный слой почвы на них.

[@davidgahm4703]

Just curious , what is the average yield there? I have watched from the road when they are seeding before . Such a beautiful sight to see .

[@TrevorStruthers]

Depends on moisture. Average rainfall is around 12 inches or less at this field. When you get the 12 inches really makes a difference. At least, thats what she said.

[@robertlong7033]

Where are you located? The Palouse? Ever been in a combine fire? Despite all the advances in combine technology those things still catch on fire and burn so easily.

[@tiffrosestruthers4372]

Prescott, WA That’s my brother and he’s had quite a few fires, three this year already. And when we were 16 his combine started a fire in the field next to our house, that sure was an adrenaline rush for a couple of kids!

[@robertlong7033]

@@tiffrosestruthers4372 Remember what they say about working on side hills Trevor....It's not steep until you're looking down the neighbor's chimney.

[@henningthode4456]

besides harvesting I would appreciate a video showing how you guys manage the tillage, planting, spraying and other stuff on the steepy hills 😎

[@joelg8004]

For your wagons you’re using tracks, but combines you’re using tires? Is it better for traction than front tracks or just not something that’s been upgraded yet?

[@JDseller1]

I have yet to see rubber tracks on a hill side combine. I am not sure they would work very well. Tracks give you a lower ground pressure and they do not bit when sliding sideways. I think you would slide off the hills worse with tracks. The articulated quad tracks can steer to crab up the hill. You can not do that on a combine.

[@joelg8004]

@@JDseller1 that makes sense

[@TrevorStruthers]

We've tried to use the rubber tracks on a hillside but it was a CASE and it didn't do well. It was better with tires.

[@LarryVeit-pk3bn]

Spring or winter wheat

[@TrevorStruthers]

Winter for now. Theres spring wheat but its closer to the mountains and their rain

[@user-ql8jf9ob4l]

How do you irrigate these steep hill fileds?

[@TrevorStruthers]

We dont have any water or water rights, so no irrigation. 12 inches of rain annually is enough to grow wheat.
