Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!

Hello from California thank you for your videos Border View Farms you are the best

[@jeffreybegeman9544]

Great for Brayson graduating kindergarten. Our grandson, Grayson is graduating kindergarten in June. It is amazing what they learn in kindergarten now a days. Much more than 1963, when I was in kindergarten.

[@rogerembry4777]

Congratulations little man

[@rogerembry4777]

I look forward to seeing it running, but hopefully you will have the rain you need

[@alanbexten1931]

CONGRATULATIONS Brayson Great Job !!!! Those Tracks look like a Doe or Yearling Deer

[@michaelsurratt9593]

That new field is definitely gonna need tile. You will make it productive in time.

[@gregcatlett1458]

Done well that’s a nice feeling not many folks around here quite yet.

[@kirklothert3435]

You mean aren't done

[@Thelarrs110]

well, as it would happen you did explain in part how it runs the rows. How wide a headland does it need to turn ? or will it run over some corn, like a sprayer i guess, some has to be sacrificed...

[@ronlivingston1663]

That was a weird water hole in the new field. Good luck ,we had 40 acres wheat field from last year, 120 BPA, straw chopped,chiseled in fall. Just planted yesterday because it was so wet and field is tiled..just to much residue.

[@mikekenyon3322]

Good morning

[@stevefarrow9327]

That conduit is for grout…to seal any surface water from getting to the aquifer…required for all wells.

[@jeffnoel230]

Best tank cleaner is Liberty

[@jonathanevans8416]

Man what a difference. I try to plant strip till into as much residue as I can. Have to conserve as much moisture from evaporation during July and August as possible 15:29

[@maxfender6886]

Good Morning.

[@jimpolk]

Congratulations Brayson!

[@hfff1]

Congrats Grayson! !2 more to go?😊

[@jonathanevans8416]

Man things really are different up north, my planting scripts was anywhere from 80K to 95K and we picked over 90 bushels on our best ground last year 21:47

[@davidruffjr6045]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@diersirrigation]

Is that new 40 too wet to no-till into the wheat stubble? Your yield probably isn't going to be great no matter what you do this year. If your 16 row isn't set up for no-till you could use the 24 row, 30" rows shouldn't have as much weed pressure due to existing ground cover.

[@stevenzimmerman4901]

Definitely deer tracks.

[@SteveMccarthyAus]

Have you got the tile guys ready to put I the pipe from the well to the outlet for the Rain ?

[@BorderViewFarms]

We've talked to them yes. Just need to figure out the piping.

[@SteveMccarthyAus]

Do you think given the well flows the driller reported would you have an adjoining field you could run a second rain from this well ?

[@BorderViewFarms]

@@SteveMccarthyAus probably not. It would take a lot of piping to get that done

[@agger838]

I didn't know kindergarten graduation was a thing

[@markpontes4457]

Will you spray that new field to kill it off before tillage?

[@BorderViewFarms]

Already did a month ago. There a little stuff coming back but iteither the tillage or the corn herbicide will take care of it.

[@Thelarrs110]

how does that machine apply water and turn around without the pipe flattening the corn if its ina new row and pulling the cable back from from its old path at the side once turned around, or what am I missing ? Can you explain in a video. I have looked back in your history as i missed a few but cannot find one on when you first introduced this machine.

[@BorderViewFarms]

It will be much easier to understand once I can show it running

[@scottalspach8020]

Corn fields look awesome. Hopefully, they yield like you want. Is Brock no longer helping on the farm?

[@kirklothert3435]

I think Brock was helping last week or something

[@whjerts]

He just mentioned Brock in this video. Said he went down to Berkey with his dad and Phil to help bring stuff back to main farm. He’s in the video at 10:45/15:53

[@kirklothert3435]

@@whjerts ... You tell him

[@michaelworthington7037]

How deep dig they drill the well? How much water per hour/day do you normally spray for irrigation?

[@BorderViewFarms]

78 feet. It will use 220 ish gallons per minute. Roughly 300,000 gallons per day.

[@kenia7430]

Did the antifreeze leak stop on the disk tractor?

[@BorderViewFarms]

No. Still overflowing the expansion tank and not sicking it back in. Sorta thinking stuck thermostat maybe?

[@Hendog1001]

Question with the new field would it not make sense to just leave it bare this summer and tile it like it needs to be obviously. Then chisel and disk it to plant it to beans next years followed by wheat or corn? Just a thought maybe to save you guys a headache with some extremely late planted corn or beans.

[@BorderViewFarms]

No, we can't give up a year of production. It's not extremely late to plant either corn or beans. It will be fine and we'll get it rotated into wheat as soon as we can to get the tile in.

[@Hendog1001]

Exactly what I was thinking after I typed that like that makes no sense now if it was July August that might have had to happen…

[@bobearthquakepumpkinfarm7455]

Haven't you calibrated your workboots to 17' 4"???

[@BorderViewFarms]

Not accurately enough and I haven't been wearing my work boots since the chicken water incident.

[@b_lumenkraft]

What's the difference in planting into a field that was wheat vs. corn BTW? The nutrient regimen afterwards?

[@BorderViewFarms]

Usually wheat is always followed by corn. That field happened to get caught in an unusual rotation for acre balance. We still apply nutrients based on soil test results.

[@b_lumenkraft]

@@BorderViewFarms i see. Thanks, mate! :)

[@klousy58]

Only 300?? Wouldn't you be able to push it up around 350?

[@BorderViewFarms]

Maybe but I haven't hit 300 yet
