CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every Wednesday and Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

[@23431]

Great job Hannah it’s awesome to see you driving

[@Daveco82]

Great job Hannah! I thought you had plenty of bin space?

[@ericrisch9616]

That’s used for corn

[@SimonKL11]

Cool to see that harvest has started😁👍 Hannah will be a great truck driver, it's all about experience😉👍 nice video👍👍

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

You need to adjust your brakes if it wants to roll away with park brake on? Or you need to put on new spring brake canister. We have the spring brake canister on all of the wheels. So you would have 8 of them on a 5 axle truck and trailer.

The accident on the 151 bridge had traffic snarled for hours. US 20 was backed up for miles!

[@keithwest2575]

Cool seeing Hannah drive big red

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

You go, Hannah, you got this. Awesome video.

[@jacmccauley7581]

Nice to see the early start on beans. I know around Michigan I saw some farmers start harvesting soybeans shortly after Labor Day

[@rtz549]

Glad to see her driving the truck. 👍

[@cthomas1864]

Good to see the 46 in action love that tractor.

[@ronlarson2561]

Can never have enough help during harvest

[@keithwest2575]

One thing that I was taught MANY years ago about backing a trailer was to grab the bottom of the steering wheel and whatever way you want the trailer to go, push the bottom of the steering wheel in that direction and you do not have to think about turning the wheel in the opposite direction. Still do that today, as I said, MANY years after being taught that trick. Just sharing.

[@hannahsmith239]

Yes! That is what I was told and it is what I do :)

[@toddjohnson7972]

Great to include all family members in harvest

[@barrymuskus67]

GREAT job Hannah😊😊

[@tracyeaves1084]

Hannah is a great lady and we miss seeing her in the videos

[@Birddog67]

Great photography and beans looked good too.

[@gregcatlett1458]

Don’t get too comfortable with her changing that oil😂😂. Thanks, everyone.

[@ar-taqarmando226]

Thankfully many farmers are doing well this year, but Ohio farmers have some really tough yields this year.

[@JordanSchneider-sf1zk]

Good luck with harvest, lots of farmers seeing massive yields in Iowa, hopefully that is the same here!! Also what is current yield average for soybeans right now?

[@nikphoenix]

Hopefully you can upgrade Big Red soon. But im sure its not happening this year with crop prices.

[@robbytorregrossa1037]

I think at one time you we’re contemplating a second truck big red has done its job well sell him and buy a new (er) one maybe

[@Scotthobart1086]

Another great video!

[@jaredmoorman1300]

Getting your wife to do your job…. Good thinking Ryan!

[@kirklothert3435]

You mean do your job

[@earlyriser8998]

Good job Hannah.

[@Ghettocowboy33]

Get er a trucker hat, Ryan!

[@waterskiingfool]

Next video Ryan has grey hair from stress from her driving. Lol. Glad to see her taking the initiative to learn to drive it.

[@zilla2006able]

Hannah did a great job Driving Big Red 👍

[@RuralRootsTV-s6x]

Loved how you explained the planting process at [01:30], so informative!

[@jacquiejenkins4566]

Great job, Hannah. But you should tell Ryan that some strange guy was in his truck. Sounded just like Ryan though which was confusing.

[@Azdude801]

Who wants to see Ryan start fixing up Big Red and looking like an awesome truck? It would make some awesome videos.

[@tonyoconnell2787]

The video format / editing was stellar . Really nice job ! I bet Hannah did it just kidding

[@greghamann2099]

This video was full of surprises. Hannah is doing a super great job you're a lucky guy. Love the contents keep up the good work. Good luck on the harvest.

[@daveconger6199]

Great teamwork leads to a successful long marriage…my wife and I are on year 48 … prayers to you both.

[@eddief3326]

if you set all parking dreak and the truck still moves , something is wrong . check out all spring breaks . we had 4 on truck and 4 on trailer

[@eddiebaughman2809]

You have a great wife Ryan. Also fanstic drone footage.

[@marcth37]

I m just curious...Here in Quebec this summer we got really heavy rain (even the rests of a hurricane) and in my area where i live some lowline soybean fields got inondated...as a matter of fact the soybean plants turned brown!I wanna know if it is harvestable

[@marcth37]

By the way congrats to Hannah for her truck driving!

[@marcth37]

I know a friend farmer tried to combine these brown soybeans and hhe got dusted all around his combine!!

[@johnwilimczyk4188]

Nice Hannah is learning slapping gears your getting an awesome part-time driver got a great young lady there very nice Hannah God Bless you both

[@HeavyMachinery8989]

"I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from this video, the content is truly valuable!

[@jchambers2586]

wish I could come up there and help you guy's but no responce on email 😪

[@LachlanWard-q1z]

We don’t have yield monitors in our combines we just guess by looking at the heads on the barley, wheat or oats

[@erickurtz2750]

Ryan, what are you going to do with big red couple years ago? You said it, you're possibly looking at either selling it getting another truck. Would you look at something like a Volvo? Are a Peter belt? Peterborough built semi. Kenworth or would you be looking at possibly getting a bigger grand cart before you get a semi? I would look at getting like a print. 1396. Are I like AJM 1732? Because that's almost twofolsemise completely full And would you put, would you have An auto greaser put on the grain cart. I know Brian Brown and um couple other guys, Ron, a scale system call Lieber cart, and it's a it does automatically by Bluetooth. When do you think you guys will get a Draper? Would you guys possibly go to like a 35 foot Draper? Eric from Indiana and I watch all your videos all the way to the end. When I'm not working with farmers with agronomy.

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video and drone footage as always Ryan. And it’s always good to see Miss Hannah she is definitely going to be a great truck driver 👍

[@TylerLaughlin-v7z]

Where exactly are you from La cross city

[@KAWoTReplays]

Potosi, Wi

[@lyleash9669]

Quick way to learn to back up a tractor trailer is grab the bottom of the steering wheel and what ever way you want the back of the trailer to go your hand moves that way

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Ryan, good to see Hannah driving the truck, thanks for sharing

[@rupertp647]

Hannah has the nicest finger nails of any farmer I know!😂

[@ohiofarmer254]

I can’t ride in a car with my wife, let alone with her driving a truck

[@esk103]

So you are trying to say, she is one bad mother trucker!?

[@jimderro1532]

The drone shots really show off the beauty of the area

[@noelcahill6707]

Ye need a MAN agri truck there a great job

[@KerboOnYT]

Great footage getting us right in the action

[@Scott-q6q]

A super 10 is the worst known to man

[@louisnemick1939]

Great job Hannah.

[@billwieland8497]

Thanks Ryan and Hannah!

[@scericat]

Does she have to have a cdl learners permit? Will she have to get her cdl?

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

Farm exemption

[@PrafulBoricha]

Yyyy

[@jazko]

Wait you don't need a CDL if someone is with you in the passenger seat?

[@ArnieD17]

Farm vehicle drivers are exempt from the CDL requirements if the commercial motor vehicle is: (a) Controlled and operated by a farmer as a private motor carrier of property, (b) Being used to transport either- (1) Agricultural products, or (2) Farm machinery, farm supplies, or both, to or from a farm; (c) Not being ... This was a simple cut and paste. May not apply in other states.

[@jazko]

@@ArnieD17 wow, this will never be allowed in Europe. You need CDL for every vehicle with GVW over 3.5t or 7700 lbs.

[@Scott-q6q]

You could have taught her with a better transmission

[@hannahsmith239]

Learn on the hardest stuff then the easier stuff is a breeze. Plus when it’s all you have, it’s all you have :)

[@benny8300]

Does she have a cdl license ? If not should not be driving on the roads. Thats illegal. She should know the truck before driving. Full walk around should have checked dip stick before driving.

[@hannahsmith239]

Farmers are exempt. It is legal as I am hauling our own crop. I did do a full walk around checking the tires and looking for other issues. If you watched the video, there’s a literal clip of me putting the oil/dip stick back in from checking it. Then later on we discussed how I was a silly billy and didn’t screw the dip stick in. I just slid it back. No one knows everything on day 1! We all learn and get better as we go. Thanks for your concerns.
