Manure Application | The 4020's Golden Years - JCB Teleskid 3TS-8T

The 4020 isn't done working yet! It's still good for every small chore. I decide to get ahead of the game and clean out the barnyard while I can so it doesn't have to wait until the fall.
Broadcasting manure onto the surface of a field is the oldest method of spreading. It is easy, cheap, and can be done during almost any season. But, there are also some significant disadvantages. From a nutrient standpoint, a substantial amount of nitrogen can be lost within a few days of application. This happens when ammonium (inorganic, plant available N) converts to ammonia gas, a process called volatilization. The organic N is not lost, however, and some of it may become available later in the growing season. Other concerns are odors and the possibility of nutrient or pathogen runoff in large rain or snowmelt events.
Broadcasting with incorporation means mixing, or incorporating, the manure into the soil immediately or within a few days after broadcasting. This method greatly reduces ammonia gas losses, especially if the manure is incorporated quickly. Because the manure is thoroughly mixed into the soil, it also promotes conversion of organic N into inorganic N, a process called mineralization. That means you can expect more N to be available for plant growth than when manure is left on the soil surface. One drawback is that this requires tillage, which disturbs the soil surface and may not fit in all agricultural systems. Double disk application is considered a form of broadcast application since it applied manure on the soil surface, but it is immediately incorporated as the disks throw soil on top of the manure to cover it up.

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.

Never in my life did I think I would watch a 17 minute video about spreading manure and find it interesting! Great all around video. The drone footage and video angles are simply amazing. Nicely done.

Iam watching you for +7 years right now, and i have to say that the way how you film and how fly your drone are very insirational for me and my videos. There are so many Farming youtubers out there who just holding a camera and talk, but it makes a huge difference between just holding a Gopro or make Videos like yours.

[@jhuelsmann9430]

Great milestone of 10 years. I hope this channel lives on forever! Straight forward content showing an essential part of what keeps civilization humming along, farming.

[@bigtractorpower]

Happened to stumble on your channel in 2012 while deployed and haven't stopped watching! Congrats on the milestone!

[@bhensel100]

Always enjoy watching your videos...yes, even if the majority of it is spreading manure..... Happy to see you taking control and working Your Farm. I think Hannah has a lot of influence on you, being your own man and taking on your responsibilities. Congratulations on 10 years of a great channel on KZbin

[@sethhudson9361]

Congrats on 10 years! I have enjoyed all of the content you put out. Cool to see how you and your family are growing the farm. Here's to another 10 years (and many more)! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!!

[@tracyeaves1084]

Congratulations on ten years and I still love the table with the red,white and blue flag

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Thank you Ryan! I think I picked a good video to catch up with! Kinda jealous watching lol Well, more reminiscent of the joys of the time of year and the smell of soil and earth. And manure. I understood about your needs being met and that plays into why I liked your channel from the time I found it (you were still in college, a silo top video) Being genuine simply speaks for itself. Anyway, more awesome footage (esp say 13:20+) and great music! Thank you! You show us peace, and I sincerely say: may peace be with you and your loved ones! *13:32 is a frame-able shot!..as are others....

[@doughaskell1690]

Congratulation on 10 years of videos! I am looking forward to many more years of videos and where your dreams will take you and Hannah.

[@gail8494]

Wow.....it has been 10 years already? Time fly by so fast.....my youngest son is 5 years behind you in age and introduce me to your channel when you started KZbin; at that time he want his own KZbin channel as well. Next week he starts his new job as a Mercedes Benz auto tech apprenticeship coming out of college in their auto tech program. Amazing watching you, your brother and my sons all merging from your teens into adulthood; hope you all are very proud of your hard work and accomplishments.

[@davidchapin8297]

That lot sure looks a lot better now after you did all the work on it last year. That gravel sure made a difference. Congrats on the 10 years. I have been here for half of that. :)

[@simontyrrell8866]

Thanks for another great video Ryan, from Hertfordshire UK

[@duaneconger2910]

Congratulations to you Ryan on 10 years I wish you and your family the best this coming year. I've been watching how farms work for about 3 years now maybe 4 and I like your channel and the videos that you make!! Very nicely done keep up the good work and God Bless you and your family.

[@jamesbyrne5734]

Hi Ryan . That JCB does a great job 👍🏻 . Congratulations on ur ten years 🤝, I’m only following u over two . Really enjoy ur content 👍🏻. We used to pile up our manure in the corner of the field and leave for the year . It use to collect a lot of worms ( great for aeration) and spread much finer on the field . Sometimes running a chain harrow over it 🤗. Good luck with the next ten years 👍🏻

[@elizabethphillips4334]

The way you were able to capture the sunset was absolutely amazing. your music choices and camera angles keep things interesting and always make me happy to come back see what you are up to next.

[@jamiefrench9023]

Good to see the old work horse still finding a place on the farm. I bet the new shoes she got help out this time of year. Looking to all this year's content. Here's to another 10yrs

[@jerryminney3555]

[@hamishkay3010]

Great to be watching your video's again I've been crazy busy with work.

[@SimonKL11]

Congrats on ten awesome years of how farms work! We have to thank you for bringing us great content over the past few years😁👍 looking forward to the next 10 years👍😉

[@kevinwilliams563]

Congratulations Ryan ten years. I think you are one of the most interesting farm channels because you explain things very well. Most city folks have never been on a farm and don’t have a clue how hard farmers work.My dad quit farming in 1956 and left Nebraska. He always said there are easier ways to make a living. I can’t understand why you don’t have much larger viewership members.

[@garrymarples5132]

Well done i like your work ethic been watching your videos for quite a number of years i hope you get as much pleasure making them as i do watching them

[@lynettereese993]

Hey did the girl that didn’t want to leave the lot have her calf? How is she doing. It’s so much fun to see the girls run in the pasture. They were happy. Glad it can help with the feed.

[@markblackwood3121]

Thanks for 10 years of hard work and sharing!

[@leeforeman3656]

Good evening Ryan. Look forward to another ten years of how farms work. 👍

[@carterkeown5167]

That spreader does a great job at spreading it evenly and really turnin the ground black

[@seeker1432]

Those JCB lights are nice and bright now. Well worth putting them on.

[@vincentvespa6690]

Congratulations on your 10 years. Thank you for all your videos.

[@hallidayacres1245]

I found your videos a few years ago and I look forward to watching all your new videos. My partner- asks me aren't they always about the same things that have to do with farming. I tell her that it's your passion and your family's passion for what you do that makes your videos so easy and enjoyable to watch. Thankyou Ryan and please say Thankyou to Travis and your Dad. It is a pleasure and congrats on 10 years

[@danielcook2430]

Congratulations Ryan, you do a fabulous job with your videos. I follow several channels, and you are the only one my wife likes. When you do your intro, she always says with great enthusiasm, “Hi Ryan!”.

[@christianmuller4716]

In the dark I heard the 4020 cry all the way to germany, he was proud that he could still do what he came on this planet for after all those years - giving a farmer a hand and making some souls happy.
