Record Breaking Harvest | How Farms Work

[@bwtupper]

It’s great to hear a farmer say “it’s a good year”!

[@AllisChalmersMN]

bwtupper especially this year in the Midwest. We’ve had so so so much rain. Late planting and late harvesting.

[@Tomhellyer]

Been 20 years since we had a good crop.

[@ronmeier8850]

@@Tomhellyer 20 years? How are you able to operate or are you being a bit sarcastic?

[@AutoCrete]

I recall 2 years of back to back bumper crops. 1964 and 1965 were like winning a lottery. In 1966 things went back to normal and it felt like punishment. It was nice to have a bit of extra cash kicking around though.

[@Claymore927]

"Right now we can't physically see the combine." he says as the combine drives by in the background. :D

[@jacobotes8443]

Yup had to give a little chuckle there

[@plowboy7700]

Yeah. Young guys looking at the iPad and everyone else looking out the window.

[@timderks5960]

@@plowboy7700 Don't be like that. You don't hear the young people mocking the older guys for not being able to use anything with a computer in it either, since it's simply not true, and neither is what you're saying.

[@plowboy7700]

Now now. No reason to get riled up. I'm a younger guy that has had worked for John Deere service through a lot of the technology transfer. I also farm. I have heard ever conversation from young to old. It's just for fun. If you take offense then so be it.

[@paulmccallum4229]

LOL must have been someone else's 9500 going by

[@shopshop-lx9hj]

"Its going to be a good year." "A very good year." Congrets, although I'm not used to seeing Travis smiling!

[@FoolOfATuque]

Travis is definitely prettier when he smiles...lol!

[@scottmote2176]

Thanks for taking us along Ryan. Our neighbor who farms has a rare type of cancer tumor near his heart and lungs. He is in his 40's and his family is always helping others. If your viewers could pray for him and his family that would be appreciated. He has surgery this coming Friday to remove the tumors.

[@danlowery3235]

I guess Andrew earned his keep! Can't wait to see how the other farms yield.

[@FoodwaysDistribution]

Good old electrician. Turns the dryer on and off a couple of times and all is good. And here is your invoice for dragging me here this early in the morning 🤑

[@toddcurrens631]

Hey Ryan, I really enjoy these longer videos, As a person who had his 20 year career ended after fighting Crohn’s Disease for 34 years I look forward to watching , it gives me something to do so I say thank you!

[@tevogel8895]

Todd Currens … Good see there is another Crohn’s viewer out there… I got off caffeine this year and it really changed my G.I.… Might want to give it a try…

[@russrecker5344]

I like the longer ones also

[@Rosso_Dabosso]

TE Vogel little late to the party. I got diagnosed with crohn’s a couple years ago. It sucks big time.

[@29rosslyn]

I’m not a farmer, but I sure enjoy watching you & your family as you work your multiple farms. Continued success for this harvest Ryan!

[@nitrodad15]

Now the blood, sweat and tears pays off. A tough year by any standard. Kudos to you and your family.

[@philipjones5144]

Great to see a family who works so hard reap the rewards. Good for you guys!

[@lathomas1328]

Can’t get enough watching combine and grain cart work.

[@ekhaat]

Hey, I'm a loyal viewer from Denmark. My father was a farmer, and your videos take me back to my childhood. I'm happy for your good yield. Take care.

[@brucejans7709]

Glad to hear the harvesting going well. You show the real ups and downs of farm life.

[@moman0166]

Thank God for farmers. You guys feed the world with little thanks. I am so glad you are having a great harvest and thank you for making America the greatest producer of agriculture grains.

[@kevinwoodcock7578]

While it's nice to be appreciated as a viewer , we appreciate you more as our content provider. Best of luck for record yields this harvest.

[@joshwalshire783]

I’m a college student who is studying agriculture systems technology at Iowa state. My family does not farm but I wish to run my own farm in the future and by watching you and other farmers on KZbin it able to see a variety of operations and new ideas to try and apply them to my future operation. Thank you for all the information you provide! You guys give me and allot of other students who want to become farmers hope that family farms can and do work!

[@TheCarl0523]

We are almost two months past harvest here in Sweden so im gratefull for all these harvest videos showning up to ease the post-harvest-blues! Also, try send a hat!

[@fordguy1986]

I’ve always loved harvest, I’m not a farmer but would always spend a fall weekend on my uncle’s farm as a kid then would spend a week helping here and there as I got older. Great time of year.

[@luciosapeta9127]

I’ve been following you and your channel for the last year and half, learned so much and hope to learn more. I’m a really small farmer compare to you, sometimes don’t even think I should be called as one but what I do and how I do it helps to bring food to the family table and pay all the bills. Thank you for sharing all the information and experience you been doing so far.

[@johnnelson3220]

Ryan you are clear, informative and genuine. You and your videos are a first class operation. Know it. What happened to Jamie??

[@sethhudson9361]

I'm really glad that the yields are looking good for you guys. I really enjoyed this video Ryan, especially the shots starting @4:50. Your camera work has really come a long way since you started. As always, thanks for putting your time into these videos and keep up the great work.

[@AllisChalmersMN]

I’ve been following this channel for awhile now. I’m not a farmer nor did I grow up on a farm. My wife has a dairy science degree from UW Madison and has worked on farms. I truly enjoy the videos you put out. Lots of education and information in all the videos. I am glad to hear that harvest is going so well for you guys so far!!! I’m looking forward to more videos.

[@indianafarmer1762]

Glad to see the little later planting didn't hurt yields any

[@randywright7433]

With all the rain and mud, I'm glad you are enjoying a good yield after all! Be safe and enjoy this harvest! Thank you..

[@haydenjames0396]

Guess im a loyal follower of your channel i made it to the end. Been watching since around 60 thousand subs and cant get away from your channel, every video is super high quality and always has the action to keep you watching. Keep up the good work Ryan can wait to see the end of the year average yield this is gonna be a interesting year if the yields stay up.

[@carlwolf4865]

Not all farmers are going to have a good year, but glad you guys are on the higher ground !!!

[@johnnydale6515]

Ryan of all the Ag videos yours is the best ,it is professional and I never miss one. Ryan we hope the yields stay over 300.Al of the best for rest of harvest .Regards from Paarl South Africa

[@lindastapleton2324]

Love to watch all your videos, I was raised on a farm and miss those days, but watching you and your family, brings back wonderful memories! So happy for a great yield this year!

[@caleblangham2924]

Just placed our order of a hat and hoodie!! Can’t wait to wear them while we work around here. God bless your farm and family! Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@RM-qc9vw]

Congratulations on a great start to your harvest! I was in your area about ten days ago passing through on an rv trip. Beautiful country, rolling hills, manicured waterways and great looking corn and beans. Good luck with the weather and hope your good yields continue.

[@Rosso_Dabosso]

It’s been a long time coming! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for us this year Ryan!

[@HM-0410]

Does Andrew just work for you guys or does he take care of a lot of farmers? If he is just working for you guys that’s awesome that he helps you guys that much. It’s nice to see a bunch of green on your yield monitor. I hope that the rest of the corn and the beans do the same as what you just ran. I’m glad it’s harvest time, I enjoy the videos from this time of year. Take care and be safe out there.

[@canvids1]

I watch everyone of your videos for more than two years now. I am happy for your family with the great corn crop this year. I would like a hat how farms work fan1

It's great too see your guys hard work pay off. Enjoy working with your dad and brother it's not something you see very often anymore.

[@MatthewHoag77]

Good job, Kusters! Great footage, as always, and some crazy impressive numbers to boot. Your agronomist is worth his salt, for sure. What a weird year for weather, but it added up where it counts. Thanks for the video!

[@BWYinYang]

Good yield despite the crazy weather of rain/wind storms.

[@scudderville]

Thanks for taking the time to record, and share, the harvest. We enjoy watching.

I started watching just for the fun of it because I have always loved farming but never had the privilege to work on one but I can tell just how much I have learned from watching. Thank you for the awesome videos and can’t wait to see how well y’all do for the 2019 harvest!

It goes without saying, I definitely DO enjoy every video you make as well as Travis. Again being a farm kid at heart but basically having the actual farm removed from my life, persay, these videos are the closest thing I have to still being on the farm. Yes in Wisconsin farming is at a very difficult point, but what I'd give to be helping out on the farm somewhere. Not for money, hell no, just for the pure love of agriculture. I cant thank enough for taking the time making these videos. PLEASE PLEASE keep them coming. Thank you

Look you and your family are one hell of a great family bad when I finish this video and I'm very impressed especially with your yield this year you're going to have a hell of a year and I wanted to say also thank you for making the videos and I might be an over-the-road truck driver where was it one time LOL but I still love watching work still wish I could work LOL wish I could say more but just to say thank you
