Getting the big draper ready for harvest!

It’s time to get things ready for harvest. We are also getting new baby calves out in the pasture. Lots to do so come along and help!!

Glad that little bull calf got back to his mama. Hopefully all of your prep work makes for an uneventful harvest. Great video, Carl.

[@NWaitinas]

I really appreciate the work you put into explaining how much goes into making sure these complex machines run properly. Great video 🤠

[@niklasj4680]

Took me three weeks and finally watched all of your videos. Thank you for all the great contents. Best regards from Sweden

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Wow that’s commitment! Thanks for watching 👍👍

Try selenium for the front legs... We live in Polk County Wisconsin and fought that years ago. An old vet came out and walked up to the calf and gave a "Dose" of selenium and the calf was good the next day. After that, we started using trace mineral with Selenium for all the cows, and never had the problems again. Seems the Midwest is deficient in Selenium!! Worth a try!!

Just like a pilot pre-flighting his aircraft.

Very informative I learned a lot on this video you be surprised out of all the farming channels that I've watched that I do watch regularly and you probably know him yourself cuz there's some of the biggest to someone just the smallest I'll give them all a chance and I watch a lot of because I want to try it but come a farmer so I'm trying to learn everything I can but nobody is ever gone through the head like this before yes they have said you know you can see where the sickle bar is broke or missing somebody puts it in but nobody has ever that I remember going through every part the joystick out to the sickle bar itself how much to tighten it up how much not to even to that mechanism on the side there that lets it know when it's on the ground and when it's not I mean nobody's done that very very appreciative it's like I said maybe the dream won't happen but at least I'm working toward it I've already bought my a tractor I'm looking on getting a few of those where right now looking for land and joining up with some co-ops and things of that nature trying to get the bowl rolling and obviously learn just learn learn every little thing I can Ashley is probably the little things that nobody ever even thinks about like yesterday I learned 1.3% of the yield and I'd have to look back in my notes but they were talking about 1.3% of the yield is a certain amount of loss per bushel like I said I'd look at my nose but that was a technical thing that this farming channel was talking about that I did not even know and according to him he said most Farmers don't even calculate this kind of stuff in when they come to their yield then I didn't know there was a certain amount of loss that you going to have through the combine no matter what you do you you're automatically going to have a certain amount of loss and of course 13% is the the guideline for the elevators you get dogs if it's over that but you don't get no extra money if it's in your dryer because obviously they don't want to be paying for water and I imagine they have got that to a science to call it 13% I mean they could call it 16% they can call it 14 or even 15 but they've got it down I guarantee you to a science to call it 13 to where they are going to make their money and it's probably just a couple percentages for that 13 but at the end of the year it probably adds up to a huge number compared to going with the number 12 or 14 or 15 I mean when you got something as huge as agriculture you can imagine that 13% just make it that number out of all the other numbers it could be has to be a reason for that number to be 13% on your beans or you get doxed

Always enjoy your escapades

[@raincoast9010]

I was just thinking about all the bits and parts that it takes to make a combine harvester...

[@danieldzurko8053]

Thank you for this excellent prep video!

[@mikeross5927]

Another good video, I hope yall have a smooth no break down harvest.

[@jeffcasey504]

Excellent details, Thanks!

[@robertpautsch5093]

This is what I enjoy seeing - telling what it takes to keep the enterprise running smoothly. By the way, I heard that John Deere is not standing behind their manure spreaders.

How far out are you on beans? Went down to west central Iowa to pick up a grain cart and seen guys were starting to roll.

[@waynejones5239]

If it works for you then I won't change it

[@curtisowens4588]

All I have to say to finding that calf is yea Dodge brothers. Do you guys spray the navel of the new calves?

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

We don’t do anything with the navel dips or sprays. Haven’t had an issue.
