High speed planter demo!
How it works
Back to the slow planter
Another broken fertilizer hose
My favorite riders!
Using up the seed
Tractor trouble
Practically Amish style planting
Finally the end!
Big thank you to GreenMark equipment for bringing that planter out.
Border View Farms is a mid sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. We raise corn, soybeans, and wheat on a little over 3,000 acres.
My name is Nathan. I run this channel and farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. 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. I get questions about how and why we do things on the farm frequently, even from my own family members, so to help explain things it's easier to just show you. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture in general as well as dispel some of the common misconceptions.
I hope you enjoy my content and please ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can.
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos.
You can reach me through messages on Facebook or Instagram @borderviewfarms or by email [e-mail]. Please don't call my parents house!

For someone who has always seen markers on planters, no markers on this planter makes the wings look naked😂. Great video!

[@rongrace479]

It’s always good to see the boys

[@samstahl9510]

It’s the second year I’m using a Exactemerge and I absolutely love it

[@kurtjacob2839]

Rocking the Planting Beard. Nice.

[@genechronister7085]

Another great vid!

[@harveystephens6115]

Good helpers! Yes that high speed planter is great. You could retrofit yours for next year. Takes about three weeks

[@scottpykare801]

Your pretty excited about the high-speed planter. Maybe upgrade soon or upgrade yours?? We finished planting yesterday. On to anhydrous and spraying oats then to combines for wheat/oats harvest coming before you know it. Take care Nathan.

[@tomn7087]

Great video - enjoyed the demo

[@ashlandgunclub1000]

With the cost of new planters I think your better off upgrading your current planter is more cost efficient.

[@merican64]

That’s what we are doing. You have to spend 100,000 dollars on a planter then spend 50-60 thousand to put what you want it in there. So we are just upgrading ours

[@davidruffjr6045]

Congratulations on corn being done sir!!

[@jamessievers3899]

Cute looking boys!

[@gungadin6889]

Agressive row cleaners. True No Till. Could be a real game changer cost cutting final profits payoff. Less labor, less fuel, less fuel, more productivity

[@bowman7296]

You will be glad that's the corn planted, so you might get rest before the next sowing starts

[@alexmikhael5061]

mornin NATHAN!!! ''home sweet home, back in my tracktor cab... man if feels like I cheated on IT....'' YOU DID!!!! YOU WERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) lol I hope your PLANTER isn't JELLYIOUS and well don't give you probs this ''last streatch of the plant'' ... ;) ELEVATE not escalate!!!!! :)

[@jameseagleeye6546]

That's what a lot farmers are doing in stead of buying new planters they just upgrad the one they have. Have you ever considered running fertilizer tanks on your tractor or is that why you pull the fertilizer tank behind the planter?

[@randybreuer1685]

Mark of a good dealer / salesman let people test your equipment . You may not be in the market today , But they did plant seed that it will be nice to go fast..

[@stefansalemink1205]

The demo rig is really nice. but like you said Nathan, you can get the corn into the ground in 7-8 days. Besides, you now have additional manpower with Brock. that can be a decisive factor if you have a tight schedule. So why spend hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get it done in 4-5 days? that would be dearly bought "free time" The technology has to fit the company. Greetings from Germany

[@zcole6612]

Never fails always need an extra horse in the shed . That 8370R would work I'm betting

[@philplace5822]

Congratulations I'm yet near Corn Done.

[@hedleyjackson5131]

your tractor knew you'd driven another

[@jimpolk]

Pretty cool. A little something for the future?

[@fleminj2pa]

You guys make these planter mechanisms seem fairly simple but I have concluded that the guy who first designed all this menagerie of sensors, wheels, vacuums, bowls, brushes, yada, yada, yada, had to be on a serious acid trip when he did it.

[@billwhitman1529]

I'm wondering what a conversion package for your planter would look like? Clearly, high speed planting (with accuracy) opens up options for your farm in the years coming. Of course harvest and storage need to be considered as well.

[@wilsonandrade6246]

👍👍👍

[@mattunes5823]

I wonder if that hose broke when you stopped because the liquid sloshed forward in the tank? I have no idea, just guessing maybe it surged the line a bit? I doubt you slammed on the brakes to stop.

[@marvinalkire7301]

Hopefully it's just a sensor on the backup steering system been there done that. Hope thats all it is!! Retired JD tech

[@kirklothert3435]

They should've had you demo a 8RX with that demo planter

[@BorderViewFarms]

I know right!

[@kirklothert3435]

@@BorderViewFarms ... Would've made more sense

[@BorderViewFarms]

@@kirklothert3435 they had an 8RX they were demoing but its harder to move because they are trucking it everywhere. Sounds like they were trying to keep it to very serious potential customers. While we could buy a planter it's not at the top of our list.

[@Husker3435]

Congrats on finishing corn Nathan...👍keep the vids coming🇺🇸

[@matt56849]

You're getting ripped off Nathan... we get 40k plot bags. LOL

[@braydentom4915]

Have you replaced the liner in your grain pit. From when you had to pull it out last fall

[@billupstateny9151]

Saw this ❓🤔. Can seed treatment rub off, clog seed tube brushes, leave residue buIld-up on the seed discs?❓🤔 leave residue on seed tube belt🕵🤔❓

[@BorderViewFarms]

Yes it can and that is what we use talc for. To help lubricate and reduce stickiness of the seed treatments.

[@MrTonyharrell]

Are you sure there’s no chance for a frost? 😂😂😂

[@w056007568]

Congratulations on finishing planting corn and it sounds as though your pretty close on beans as well. I also hope that you get that steering issue resolved and the antifreeze pipe problem fixed on the big one.

[@gungadin6889]

Big 15 liter Cummins JD 500+HP tractor and same type high speed planter close space beans at 10+ mpg. Need full section mile long fields and no power poles Hammer Down and field deliveries of Uber Big Macs and Caffiene Energy drinks. Sleep?? What's that?

[@johnnymurphy7779]

✔✔👍👍

[@alanmcgregor4909]

What's the deal with electric poles in your fields? Is this common in your area? Here in Iowa they are usually along roads, in fence lines definitely not not beyond ROW marker. Except I have few field's tramistion lines but there poles are 1/4 mile apart. Green hose dosn't have braid, design as a suction use.

[@djwheels66]

How do you end up harvesting a mix of seed when they are different number of days varieties? Does it even out for harvest time or does some of it end up being harvested early?

[@BorderViewFarms]

They will all get blended together and run through the dryer.

[@grahamsobieski2507]

Are you guys done with beans

[@BorderViewFarms]

Not quite

[@jocalafarms4051]

High speed = more family time. Can u put a price on that?

[@BorderViewFarms]

This is the best argument for it.

[@stanbrow]

Lots of plastic. How long does one expect this planter to last?

[@mrdio4625]

I dont understand everyones rush to buy new stuff when their current stuff is still doing the job. Now if the current stuff is costing more than its worth in repairs and such ,yea but otherwise wht not bank the cash for a rainy ,ie huge expense, day?

[@dietmarbalter1407]

You use the wrong Hose , for That kind of hose you Need a coupling , if you use the Hose dont break

[@mattphillips4260]

to many brain boxes and sensors on that darn thing for me

[@stanbrow]

Shouldn’t you teach the kids not to run in front of moving equipment?
