I'm Getting FIRED For This...🤦‍♂️😅 - Harvest 2024

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

Just an amazing video! So many farm youtube channels are just people looking into the camera telling us what they are going to do or where they are going and none of the actual work or the equipment. I have no idea how they have sponsorships. The video quality, the story line and the actual work being done here is amazing. I seriously feel like I'm watching a movie ever single time I watch your videos. Thank you for all the hard work making these!

[@coryweber6188]

Scott but what would you rather be doing then what you are I grew up on a dairy farm we bailed small bales stacked by hand on the wagon and in the barn it was hard work but I miss it now that we sold the cows I would of loved to crop farm that would of been a dream not having to milk 365 days a year trust me you have a dream job most of us can only dream of and live through watching your videos

[@WelkerFarms]

Never know what we have until we lose them.

[@mikeabresch3827]

Whos them Scott I pray for

[@bradjenkins932]

If you don't like to milk cows, do something else.

[@johnsimms6778]

So Nick forgot to put the Depends on the new trailer. 😂

​@@bradjenkins932Did you read what he wrote? What does sold the cows mean to you?

[@bruceirving7309]

Knowing what farmers go through and what it takes to actually get a crop into and out of a field, THANK YOU Welkers and all farmers for all you do!

[@722garage9]

Praying this is a good season for you all, and that Dougo remembers his open and closed 😉

[@woutersteenbergen6358]

Good to see you guys got some decent yields, with the conditions you have. On our farm whe had to much rain, the crops looked so bad. Whe plowd it Al up 🙈 so no harvest this year..

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video everyone!!! It was interesting and enjoyable for sure. Love your new grain auger setup. Appreciate your overview of the new auger. Has really nice upgrades and love those turntable wheels. That will help. Nice machine, glad you were able to get it. The accident with the new grain trailer got cleaned up right away. Thanks to Scott and the payloader for picking the peas up off the ground. Let us know who did that when you find out. Oh my. Looks like the new truck is running just fine. That is great. Combines are doing great. Your crop production is coming right along. So glad you are doing better this year. 👍!!!!!!!!! Bob I see Colby is enjoying the combine ride again as well as some of the grandkids!!!!!’ Nice to see that. Colby is surely a trusted co pilot. So glad to hear your crop production is good this year. Continuing with the prayers for you. You all take care and be safe. With my blessings. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👍🙏🙏💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@robinredman5192]

Bob, you couldn't ask for more. With your Co-Pilot Coby and then of course your Pilot, who is always with you. I believe I heard that you are the Apple of His eye, despite the Dad puns😅🤣😂. May you and your family continue to be abundantly blessed. "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.

[@jeffscott1287]

Fall harvest was always my favorite time of year. A time to reflect on what went right but also wrong, with optimism for next year crop. Good luck with your upcoming harvest results in 2024, but also decades of successful crop going forward. Thanks again for feeding the world!!!

[@mr19471985]

twenty years + I have put booth corn and soybeans on the ground once, I had to come back with with shovel and pickup and do it without power. it makes you to not do it again, that for sure. This is something we don't talk about too much. Appreciate your efforts.

[@ronkirby1362]

I just love the drone harvesting videos with the instrumental music! Very well done.Your family is a breath of fresh air in this stinky world that we are living in!I can always count on clean content from you. I just want you to know that I pray for your family on a regular basis.

[@ChrisLochard]

The blue blazer is a good name. Mistakes happen. It's great to see Dad going through another harvest. Colby enjoys the ride. Scott's comments are 💯 percent accurate. God bless your family. Thanks for raising food for this amazing country

[@P_Rund1952]

It was interesting to hear why you western farmers have multiple small bins and almost no grain legs-I always wondered. We take US 2 almost every summer between MN and the west end at Seattle, so we see a lot of western farming, so different from what we do in IN. The improvements on the Westfield augers look good, particularly being able to use 1000 RPM PTO. I have run 1394's and 1384's with my old White and it would have been happier to be able to run more than 1700 rpm while loading wet corn. Are the lower bearings still a weak point? I have changed many, maybe because we have more wet weather-there does not seem any good way to get more than a few years out of those lower bearings.

[@remmiemax3624]

Nick 😬...been there done that 😉but I had to clean it up. Keep cool. God Bless!

[@WelkerFarms]

Thanks, you too!

[@jeromejacobsen2130]

Me too.

[@random-person1]

i left school at 14 and went to work and live on a farm. i still had to do my school work so had to come in off the fields for 3 hours a day and cram in as much as i could. anyway, we were a dairy farm so raised cows for milk and beef. people seem to take it for granted that the meat the have on their plates is just there and they dont think about where it came from. in other words, whilst most people have no idea where their food comes from, there are thousands who do, so keep up the fantastic work gents...........

[@michaelholden9580]

Seen a farmer clean up a mess in a county road big pile used the combine he made It look easy no shovels

[@MrGettario]

If I look at the front lights of the truck all I can think of is "Doofy". Wishing you all a safe harvest and full bins. Greetings from Belgium

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

Amazing video Nick and crew!!! I’ve been watching you for 5 years now and you answered more questions for me in this video than I’ve learned in many many hours of watching you and others. Such as why you and some run grain augers vs grain legs. I always thought grain legs were just fancy farmers but now it makes sense why row crop farmers have them vs a multi crop farm of grains. Also answered when and why farmers upgrade and why those choices are made. So thank you. Love watching

[@NorwegianMechanic]

The only thing that new truck needs is some updated headlights 😃 Looks to be running great though 👍 God bless the harvest 🙏

[@WelkerFarms]

Need to find some good ones! We don't like them either

We’ve been getting rain weekly!! Since october last year. We harvested close to 8t of wheat per hectare, ive heard people getting 5 to 6 tons per hectare.. we should be getting 10t+. This year, so far, we’ve gotten 750mm of rain.. its too wet.

[@warrenblunt539]

Thought of you guys every time in rained here this summer....but maybe in the end God doesn't need that much water to grow a crop. Really hoping you continue to be pleasantly surprised throughout the harvest. Thanks for taking the time to share your story!

[@joescheller6680]

the open trap thing.... Yes ive been there before. The ag hoppers dont help situation. Old style hoppers were closer to the,ground. I try to,watch for them being open but you get busy get distracted.

[@deltonwatts9726]

I enjoyed watching you bringing in the harvest. I can't imagine working on those size fields....being from the hilly fields of the east coast. Blessings.

[@lostonlongisland6845]

Should call the new one the "Pete a pillar"

[@oldretireddude]

Have you thought of putting a camera on the combine auger head so that the combine operator could double check hopper bottoms before dumping.

[@rwh1096]

From what I've seen so far of your harvest, you've done a great job with the invasive plants. I'm sure that has helped with your yield. Plus, timely rain with your spraying probably was better this year.

[@sebastianstyrnol6275]

Glad to hear that this year's harvest is somewhat better than feared! Keep up the good work. Here in Germany there's still too much humidity.

[@dunk9090]

if that a Macdon header with case name on it .. Macdon puts a spare knife in the tube on the back side of the header . have a great harvest this year .. were dry here in Alberta.

[@stretchdrost3191]

Nice to see some harvest videos god bless safe harvest out there ....I was out in that area on the wheat harvest 20 years ago

[@dannypittman4766]

I guess you could also use the drone to position the auger. Just a thought 🤔 maybe put a cable clamp on to mark when the lid is completely open.

[@grandpajim329]

👍🏻👍🏻 GREAT NEWS FOR YIELD !!! The GOOD LORD GIVETH a little in Montana this season !!! AWESOME video and variety, covering the new harvest. It IS SURPRISING, the amount of crop that went on the ground before (operator) noticed. OH WELL the EXCITEMENT of first day can be quite overwhelming! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SHARING OF THE LIFE IN RURAL MONTANA. Waiting for the next episode. 😏 GOD BLESS 🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍😍😍😍

[@toddmillard2862]

We have a 16” Westfield, Great augers, has that big gear box on the front for 1000 shaft, and reverse shaft option, unloads tridem grain trailer 7mins

[@379insk]

All my bin lid cables have a 1/8" clamp on them for a stop so you know when the lid is fully open.

[@michaelvogel2522]

I thought the trailer was some new kind that sucked the grain up off the ground from piles all over the field 😂. In East Central Ohio we've had over 26 inches of rain this year and over 4 inches of rain in July.

[@OUSWKR]

I grew up on a farm in Hilliard. I do miss the farm though. I lost both of my grandpas before we moved out there and the farmer was like a grandpa to me. I became a mechanic because of his influence on me and spent the last 35 years in the field. The farm is gone now but I have some of his tools and his old farm truck to keep the memories alive.

[@paullawrence3541]

Hi Welkers Your videos, especially the drone shots are world class. The colours and clarity are excellent. I’m no ‘videoist’ but watch a lot of KZbin. The farming content is interesting too, as it is different from ag this side of the pond. Putting some numbers on costs/sale prices would be informative too. P

[@tatersalad6872]

Farmers are the best! I worked on a neighbors dairy farm back when I was in mid/high school. The absolute best, hard working and most rewarding time of my life for sure! Sometimes you were running from early in the morning till late into the night for days on end. There was nothing better!

[@7pdude]

man i love these new aerodynamic shields between the truck's back axles and the trailer's axle. pretty sure they make some good fuel economy when the truck + trailer is parked in the field like shown in the video. awesome!

[@markreetz1001]

I know the yield isn't what you'd hoped for, but it is great to see the combines actually picking up peas and not just rocks! I remember all the peas on the ground because of the hail. It is great to see the bushels per acre actually staying above zero and putting it in the hopper! great stuff guys.

[@djreese1885]

Since the seat in the New truck says “Elite” call the truck “Elite Pete”!!!

Make sure you check the gates on your hopper bottom bins if you have any , not that I never have

[@chrishann5714]

Throwing Dougo under the bus NOT COOL lol I didn’t check the gate at a young age and felt horrible about out but it was explained to me that that was how God feeds the birds of the air! I always look at the ground when unloading now, may God bless you with a bountiful harvest

[@michaeldove5472]

Very encouraging to see the early harvest yields. Seems like that you always feel put some grain on the ground.

[@lynwessel2471]

Triple Star Mfg makes steerable axle conversions for most any auger or conveyor made. I have one on a 13x74 Westfield and it was on my 13x71 for many years prior. Just swapped it over when I bought the new one.

[@robertreznik9330]

When the hopper is left and no front end loader, we call a neighbor to give to his goats or chickens. If by a road it will be picked up. Wheat is so cheap it is not worth scooping up. After a few hundred loads it happens!

[@truckwest4398]

I named the 377 Pete - "Blue Collar" cause it just fits for the truck since its a great workhorse that surely will do many years of service to your family farm. Also appreciate all the insight you guys always provide especially with me being from Slovenia I always learn something new aswell. Greetings from Slovenia to your familys and stay safe out there guys!

[@elizabethliska5377]

Great to see you are getting some kind of crop this year. Hope you have a breakdown free harvest. Take care!!

[@RMartin631]

8 to 10 inches of rain a year? That's pretty low. We just had a 2 week monsoon and received in excess of 15 inches of rain at my house in Eastern North Carolina.

That is one really nice looking trailer, even the wheels are shiny. Hope you have a safe harvest.

[@waggtech4883]

Years ago I worked for the local CooP and was running the leg and dumping trucks when this gal pulls up in a tandem with a swinging end gate. After opening the end gate and hoisting the bed to unload, she took off lowering the bed on the go with the gate still open! By the time she got back to the scale house I’d fired the 3 wheeler and raced to shut her down before she could round the corner and remove the gate on the concrete dock to secure the gate. A couple years later another gal in a tandem cleanly removed the gravity unload spout on one of the 100,000 bushel concrete bins making a big mess. Grain vacs were a new thing and they had to rent one for the salvage… When you’ve seen a few cats astrophes like those, leaving a gravity slide open doesn’t seem such a big deal…lol

[@chrisandkristin]

Grain legs only really make sense on the farm if you're handling high-volume crops like corn where we're unloading a semi every 7 minutes with three combines going, and we're dumping from the driers into bins with 90ft sidewalls. When you got bins scattered all over, the transport auger makes more sense. Downside to augers is that they require a LOT of power compared to a leg. I like that steerable axle BTW.

[@robertschauer376]

Praying that God will bless your farm with a bountiful harvest. Keep the faith brother

[@georgemoschner395]

I truly enjoy all of your videos but I appreciate your honesty and integrity the most. Thanks for inserting the date of the video.

[@joescheller6680]

i seen a farmer delivering grain to a big terminal in South,Dakota. Was his first load brand,new,trailer and pup. Had electric traps. He drove,in the dump pit proceeded to dump his lead trailer then he had,the traps on auto to close. Somehow when he proceeded to pull ahead the,pup,opened out side. He left a nice windrow,of grain all the way to the dump butzitzwas empty,before he got there. Learning curve on electric traps never put them in your pocket can accidently activate the remote. Had also,local trucker, that dumped a whole hopper,of urea on the highway at 65mph.😂😂😂

Hey Nick always a good feeling to get started. For everyone of your viewer's outside of the US you should try some metric measurements. Just start with the basics like Degrees Celsius Tonnes per hectare Millimetres of rainfall Im sure you will build on them over time. Great videos even though.

Scott, before you even said it, i thought butter for a name of that truck, guess it seemed like it all fit together like butter lol. I was also thinking of blue grave, because you had to kill the old truck to bring this one to life. Glad the crops are yielding better than last year so far, and no weather damage. I think the auger system for you guy's beats the leg structure like on Larson Farm's, or that millennial fella, because the money to build those system's, plus the electric bill must not be cheap, plus the world we live in right now does not seem that stable economically. You guy's do the best with what you have, and yes some repairs are expensive, but nothing like buying this new stuff that requires def. G-d bless all you Welkers.
