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.

Weld some sacrificial plates on trailer where it scrapes at. always works for me.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Use old leaf springs for the plates. They last a longer time than regular cold roll steel.

[@nielsdybro9759]

Great concept with the booth bingo and the content it brought into light. Bring your Gaucho Marx disguise next year.

[@waterskiingfool]

The wrapper is sure earning is keep

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

What they don't eat they can sleep on! And if you process them through the baler, you can get double the value of both bedding and feed filler. Great video!👍👍

[@charleslynch7274]

I could be wrong but looks like u got plenty of bales to last you through the winter hopefully great video as always keep up the great work

[@leol1682]

Thanks Ryan Enjoy the video on the Corn Fodder .

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Ryan, The Cows look like they love that Corn fodder, thanks for sharing

[@brittblanton8342]

Thanks Ryan for another great video and awesome drone footage 👍

[@d0u6s]

Wow, A LOT of solar panels! 🤪

[@SafetyThirdRC]

That gate is sweet.

[@daviddaniels9206]

Last weekend I was up in your area me an my dad and 2 brothers went up to Minnesota to a football game and we went through Dubuque

[@banjobenson9348]

That is a lot of solar panels for a cloudy day.

[@canvids1]

I find it so funny that here where I live in Ontario Canada we can't use single use take home shopping bags, but you can use miles of plastic to wrap your bales of hay etc. Great video always, thanks for your time and posting.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

We aren't there yet, but I fear that it's coming. I reuse the bags to line my pull over boots. Helps getting them on/off. And I have a little extra time when pull overs get small holes, keeps my workshoes and feet dryer an extra few days until I get new ones.

[@davidschaefer5293]

Totally agree, he should be using his reusable corn bags and saving 10 cents a bale. Or, he could use my method and attempt to carry it by armload to the truck.😀

[@boskone]

Probably two factors: there may not be that much plastic used in ag compared to millions of people buying groceries, and there's just nothing that works as well for storing and fermenting hay.

[@patkelly7999]

Great work Everybody, have a good week👌👍🙏🙂

[@billwieland8497]

Thanks Ryan!

[@digger5858]

Thanks for the videos Ryan

[@rocksandoil2241]

That's one wild looking gate.

[@clinthochrein888]

Ope! That one exploded 🫢

[@ianhaggart1438]

Great vid sir... loving the drone shots of you hauling... I'm going to spend your money for you 😮😅 by suggesting a bale squeeze for your equipment arsenal... would be great at re handling those bales... Your trailer is big enough but must be nearing max for maneuvering round some yards... stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@SomeGuyFromOttawa]

Holy cow, the amount of Solar is insane!

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video ryan thumbs up and shared

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@chadhaag4572]

Stand the ramps up and you won’t have to strap the back bale. Works great

[@daleley7645]

Hope the weather cooperates so you can get the mulching job and tillage both done.

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!!

[@sethforgey5784]

You guys can keep those 5 foot wide bales, I hate hauling them and I can pack as much in a 4x5 bale with my McHale baler as whats in a 5x5

[@bigredgreg1]

Good content. 👍

[@michealfarley9423]

Great times as always. Watching you folks hauling balls around, didn't you buy a flatbed for red???? Whatever happen to it? Or did I completely miss something!! Keep up the great content

[@SimonKL11]

Having extra corn fodder bales is always great👍😉 hopefully the weather will be better so you can chisel plow some ground.

[@BrysonGeffre-sf2ld]

Hi Ryan I hope you and Hannah had a nice Thanksgiving I wach all of your videos

[@barrydarnell9748]

Check out lift spacers or air bags for that trailer. Would solve the problem:.

[@Michael-fd8ob]

Those style of trailers are know to drag most of the time. Mine did the same thing until I got rid of the dove tail type.

[@nickhartsock9849]

We have a trailer just like your big text and it drags all of the time. It’s plenty strong enough and the wiring is routed where it won’t tear it out. You jsut don’t want to go to fast with it tho😂

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Ryan you did a nice job on this video until I started watching your videos I did not know what fater bayles were.

[@paigebevier5124]

Ryan, I thought your dad bought a flat bed trialer for your semi?

[@peter5parker173]

Don’t want to put words in his mouth but I believe they sold that a while back.

[@nikphoenix]

He answered this same question, a couple days ago on another video. He got the wrong title/VIN number wrong and would have made it to hard to get titled. So he sold it.

[@heyseuss2201]

Nice panning time lapses. Got yourself a new kitchen timer?

[@huskerboy3471]

Hay ❤

[@huskerboy3471]

❤

[@battleensignfarms]

Ouch, that one bale committing itself to destruction shortly after unload from the trailer...

[@alolson3359]

Great vids. Do you ever sleep?

[@Blackwellll3066]

Im courious if ya ever thought of demoing a self loading/unloading or just unloading trailer for all the bales ya haul so ya only nedd 1-2 people for bale moving

[@nikphoenix]

I know its not in your or Travis plans/budget. But you sure could use a self loading bale wagon to reduce man power needed to pick up the bales. Plus they speed up pick up so much. I used one to for years to pick up 100's of bales a day when we had to make round vs large square's of alfalfa.

[@brennenevans4349]

a self loading bale wagon in those hills would be a recipe for disaster considering most are going to be top heavy depending on the brand

[@jacoblorenzen5361]

Tilt trailer would be faster

[@nikphoenix]

@@jacoblorenzen5361 Selfloading trailers normally tilt to unload. Lots of them can also reload the group of bales. Just back up and put the unloading chain in reverse and back up to the rows.

[@jacoblorenzen5361]

$$$$ is why. best purchase is a 8 bale inline trailer

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Dance with the partner you have. Always a better mousetrap, but doesn't always pay just catching mice.

[@ronaldjennings8057]

Hey Ryan, good video, go to ask what's up with all the music notice that lately. I'll be having a good day. Take care😂👍👍👍🙏🚜

[@tylerrathbun3156]

The solar panels really ruined the view….

[@Daveco82]

how is the solar farm doing?

[@joshbutterfass5251]

How did that bale fall apart Ryan explain yourself

[@cthomas1864]

Will you do any tillage this fall?

[@HowFarmsWork]

At this rate, we won’t. The ground has frozen after the snow that we can’t do a proper job

[@brianabramson5313]

Would you be able to make any money selling those upright silos? Or would it cost you money to have them removed? (Or are you gonna use them again in the future?)

[@byronmoon8351]

But the grabber setup for your machine

[@BHDEric]

How's the truck been for that last 6 years? How many miles? I just got a 2017 because my dad totaled my 05 Chevy Duramax. Most common issues, any costly or major repairs?

[@earlyriser8998]

I am OK with once a week. Just let us stay involved in How Farms Work.

[@larrysheriff8251]

Hey Ryan, Hahhah and Travis, I never knew or seen a bale brake apart like that. Glad y'all got the fodder bales put up. I been following the weather in Potosi and some day's Wi and SC are about the same but I know winter will be much colder for y'all. Take care, take it easy and Trust JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daltondodson2943]

Double stack on your trailer make less trips

[@richardpoe2461]

If you are worried about hitting the tailgate, take it off.

[@gastonbenvenuto5790]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏼🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

[@joelfunk8730]

The solar farm looks hideous.

[@NickJr0001]

That’s a shame that one bale fell apart

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

"crap doth happen". And netwrap can be a fragile beast. To much, you waste $, to little, and bales don't survive the handling.

[@Badbar_trucking]

I love the content bro, but we can’t afford you having one video a week. Just kidding good luck man.
