Winter Schedule
Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday, Friday, 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.

We have hauled a lot of shit on our farm over the years and had 3 different spreaders over time. First was NH old school box spreader. Then a Knight Pro Twin Slinger, followed by a Hagedorn push back spreader a bit bigger than this one. A great spreader and loading technique made a shitty job go quickly. We used two skid steers and eventually got a bidirectional loader with a grappling bucket. Didn’t always have the most modern pieces of iron here but always had the ones that made the job quicker, safer and saved costs. Merry Christmas to you all.

Very entertaining! Bobcat and JCB working together seems a lot easier than the pitchfork that I used so many years ago!

[@billc3271]

I used a bobcat but no climate control. If i dumped anf the wind was right i wore it

We pile up our manure with an alischalmers hd 14 bulldozer. We let it compost for 2 years. We run a similar spreader they work great. We have been spreading manure for the last 3 weeks due to warm weather here in michigan. My family has 200 head of Hereford and Angus cattle. Nice video stay safe and farm on !

[@MeredithFarms]

Merry Christmas to all the Kuster family!

[@tomcleghorn4005]

Hope you and your family had a great Christmas. Thanks for sharing

[@timothybailey7118]

Only an old diary farmer that spread sloppy manure with an Oliver super 88 and New Idea wood box spreader with a pc of plywood for a gate, in -40 degree WISCONSIN winters, can enjoy watching you do it with a cab tractor, new spreader and Teleskid.

[@timwicke2836]

I've been there. I always loved when the apren chain broke and had to fork it out by hand

[@docphillips5153]

Merry Christmas. See you in 2020

[@Bill-wh6dj]

Merry Christmas all!!!! God Bless!!!!

[@SteveHolsten]

Merry Christmas to all of the Kuster Families & Rocket & all the poochie dogs! I'll bet Santa never figured he'd be hauling cow shit in his sleigh.

[@davidcorbin6663]

Thank God they're people that work hard to put food on the table for us all.

[@owenx5]

Merry Christmas to you and your good family

[@johngourley741]

I like the even spread of that spreader. It seems that you could no till into that ground with no problems from clumps of manure.

[@OO-xc7zg]

Outstanding video and views! Thanks💥

[@jamesthomas3749]

Great video! Not so much talking, just a lot of watching farm machines work. Loved it!

[@mikebonge7206]

That is a great piece of a equipment

[@leol1682]

Thanks Ryan love the video .

[@JalenRose02]

The boom of the JCB is very convenient for loading and unloading.

[@samueljoejr5191]

The 2020 farming season will be on of your best to date , because of what you're doing right now. I can hardly wait. More acres and bigger equipment. You deserve it. Thanks.

[@mikefortune4796]

A very happy Christmas to you and your family

[@adams5153]

For faster loading, try backing the spreader into the pile. That way the loaders only need to swing 90 degrees instead of 180. Huge time savings.

[@jasonaarseth187]

Thank you for saying that there wasting so much time an making it take longer to clean up the mess left from loading

[@echutch]

Adam S Exactly, and each loader would have a side to load on. How farms work harder I guess....you live and learn. Merry Christmas all.

[@adams5153]

@@echutch At one point in time I was managing a large spreading operation with 12 JD785 spreaders. Time was everything. Got rid of the JD785s and went to 5 truck spreaders.

[@danfinley3690]

Drone footage is awesome thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to show us such a beautiful video

[@banjobenson9348]

Spending Christmas Day with Ryan and his family binge watching “How Farms Work” Awesome day!

[@billsexton4811]

Ryan , that Kuhn spreader sure works nice it throws that manure pretty wide . It sure would be nice to have a big front end loader . Merry - Christmas to you and your family !

[@christianmuller4716]

Thanks Ryan. That Video just made waiting for frozen ground so much worse 😂 I wanted to haul out some manure for weeks but mother nature gives more and more rain and no freeze yet in South West Germany ✌😉

[@mikefranchino8798]

merry christmas to you and mom dad

[@mugenmark83]

Merry Christmas

[@t.money1196]

Should get a snow pusher for the JCB this winter!

[@t.money1196]

Or else a grapple bucket it can be multi use for pushing snow and throwing out bales!

[@riwoof]

Merry Christmas to everyone at Kuster Farms. I was curious why you shut off the spreader when you go over the waterway. Hoping for fun new equipment reveals in 202.0

[@chrisvarney74]

Merry Christmas to you and all of your family. Here's to a blessed 2020 new year for you.

[@garymerklein3052]

This is a first. Ryan's dirty movies on Christmas day. (lol). Happy Holidays to the Kusters!

This is what I consider a good video! :D

[@TheVideoSteve]

Need some taller bunks on the spreader sides...… and ..that JCB sure is a nice machine

[@shanetiarks64]

Merry christmas

[@neusac4590]

That's a nice spreader, glad to see you guys taking advantage of the spreader. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🚜🇺🇸

[@dimduk]

The JCB makes loading the spreader look easy. I can't imagine how many loads that would have been with the New Idea. It will be a bummer when you have to give back the Kuhn, it holds a lot.

[@markmullin4246]

Merry Christmas Ryan and your family!

[@rayjr.9187]

I just realized I have spent what 18-20 minutes watching you, your brother and your dad loading then spreading, well we all know cow shi,t. I must tell you it's because of you and your family just so good like it was when I was younger and how I wish we could go back to that, just a little bit. Ryan just keep it up. Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@SomeGuyFromOttawa]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! The tail end of 2019 and the start of 2020 should be an interesting time on the farm! Have fun with your new toys!
