Making WHEAT 🌾 WORMS!

[@DasShaten]

Have they ever explained why there using the grain bags???

[@WelkerFarms]

We've been asked a number of times why we are bagging grain when we just built new storage. Answer is that new storage isn't even enough to hold this year's crop. Last year we had 50,000 bushels on the ground and another 50,000 in our equipment cold storage. This year we have 75,000 bushels in new grain bins which means another 30,000 - 50,000 needs to go somewhere. This is why we are working with Loftness to make more storage. Welker Farms has been short on grain storage for a number of years now but 2020 is the year we fix that!

[@vallevaan]

@@WelkerFarms how do you unload the bags?

[@toby.maximillian]

Welker Farms since you get asked it a lot I see the comments and take a look at them. Is it so common that it’s just easier to copy and paste the answer?

In all the days of binge watching Harvest vids of 5 farms, as a non-farmer, you’re the first one to explain exactly what the combine does, how it pulls the grain from the plant. Thank u

[@WelkerFarms]

You're welcome!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

My grandfather was a Dairy Farmer in Alton, Maine U.S.A. he passed in 2000 but I grew up working on the farm, baling hay, chopping silage and milking cows. It was an incredible childhood

[@brianpelletier4524]

Love story time with Dad! ...needs to be a regular segment. Also, need to hear a bit more from Leg Arms. Doing a great job Nick!!!

[@boomerang379]

My five year old Catahoula (Tex) has been riding with me since I brought him home when he was a puppy. Tractors, 18 wheelers, combines, he don’t care as long as he’s riding with me. I do a lot of gps precision land leveling for irrigation and I put 1000 plus hours a year on my tractor moving dirt. Ol Tex has put almost all 6500 hours in riding with me.

[@JaredHurst02100616]

That Quad and Brent is an awesome setup! Love the technology on all of it. Thank Dad Welker for the stories. Always enjoyable! Thanks Welkers for sharing your farming experiences!

[@WelkerFarms]

It's awesome!

[@kevinklingner3098]

I agree the stories are great and they are part of what makes farming so great. The good, the Bad and the Ugly is what farming is all about and it is what makes it such a good life. It is also what makes it so mich more that just a buisness.

I was delivering a truck to Calgary a few weeks ago and was headed up I-15 for the first time. I saw Shelby, MT on a roadside sign and immediately started looking for the Welker Farm. Y’all live in a beautiful area of the country.

[@robertpayne2717]

My dad started farming in 1955 full-time he had share-cropped prior to that for my grand dad the year I was born 56 he started raising rice medium grain he had bought a JOHN DEERE 95-B COMBINE 13FT header medium grain rice yield was about 130 bushels per acre had a heavy rainstorm with lots of wind on 40 acre field completely lodged flat as pancake... he had no grain cart and the rice dryer was about 35 miles one way.. there was no variable speed contro on the header reel and the 95-B had an raspbar cylinder. Took him 45 days to cut that 40 acres..the rice line was usally a 3 hour turnaround so one to 2 loads aday was about all you could cut and haul. Down rice you have to cut in the same direction as it lays.. he also had to dead head the combine out to the turn row to dump each time..My Mom drove a 1954 R-170 International 1&1/4 ton Bob truck with a 200 bushel bed to the rice dryer...Good ole days Hummmpft!!!

[@kurtjohnson3496]

That new loaner rig is super sweet!!!

[@WelkerFarms]

It sure is!

[@lancedever5633]

Nick interesting on the clutch. Has your sales person not explained how it works. I saw one other comment on.it and he is correct. Sit in seat stroke clutch and then take out of park and put in forward or reverse. It will not kill the engine. Or kick out the transmission. Not that I never forget it! Still a lot of muscle memory left in my left foot.

[@chaddeplazes]

Great progress fellows! Really great seeing new equipment in action! Always love the dog segments. A wonderful best friend for sure:)

[@amandakennedy7963]

Your drone shots are epic no one does it better than you Nick!!!!!

[@billbloggss]

Just the best commentary! And the drone footage excellent - a drone video 'stand alone' would be much appreciated even if a little shorter in length - enjoyed!!

[@alanstant9356]

Doing wheat sounds like alot of fun guys. That sounds like that will keep you busy for awhile especially when you have those big acres of field to do.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, good to see the difference the grain cart makes to filling the bags and reducing the truck use, thanks Tony

[@ryanmcdermott9035]

We used to turn on the fans when we filled bins, it blew some of the chaff out. Worked way better on the bins with spreaders in them. Helped clean the grain up just a little more

[@GMdieselman]

Really enjoyed the scene of Nick and Leg Arms in the cab sharing lunch! You guys always crack me up

I know of a chap he use to drive an old Clayton 5 of them in line one behind the other you would get sacked on the spot if there was a wiggle in your straw row they had to be plum straight no auto pilot in the 70s a Robert 😁👍👍 good to hear 60 bushel all down the the rain fall you would love 36 inch of rain 😂😂😂 nice work Hollywood on the cam shots, happy harvest💪👏👍😁

Impressive to hear that kind of yield. I'm hoping and praying that my grandmother's soybeans do good. Because earlier this year got so much rain that the beans in the bottom were underwater for a few hours. Hopefully they will yield good. Have a great weekend and ready for the next video. God bless.

[@theda850two]

,, parish provenance,,, Love your avatar, nothing like "Old Glory" ,, ,, our beautiful Red, White and Blue. Those "grayed-out" flags with just one colored stripe, make me so sad. The "greatest generation" of men and women who fought in World War II (etc) did not do so to honor a Gray flag with one colored stripe. I understand that it is protected by free speech in the 1st amendment, but that also puts those who display it that way in the same "camp" as those who defile it by any other method, (won't find me there) such as burning, cutting, adulterating and other methods to defile its image :( Bless You ♡

[@F12Mahon]

Technology has come a long way. My dad had a Massey Harris 72 open station. 13 foot header on it. Was quite the machine in it's day. He had a wire ear corn crib built with a 14 foot drive through so he could park the combine inside . It was only used for oats and soybeans.

[@artayers2372]

Love the drone shots of the combines working!!!

[@farmerivan3034]

The first thang I did was leave a like because I already know it’s going to be good

[@SlyFoxl]

those fast fill nozzles on the automatic greaser are super handy and makes the filling job fast but you gotta be extra carefull with being clean and make sure no debris, dust or other dirt gets on the nozzle or the connector so you press also that in there. it will likely clog up the grease lines further down and making sure it wont get greased resulting it breaking or something. just an heads up :)

First of all, thanks so much for your "awesome" videos. Now that you may have more time to talk about agriculture in general, I, as a French farmer (gardener should I say from your point of view! 😊😊😊) would be interested to know more about your view of the future of your farm. Are there opportunities (acreage) to develop your operation? How far (distance) from your place would you accept to farm? Custom work or other? Price of the land or renting??? I think that would be an interesting topic. Sylvain, from France

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

We are open for more land to farm but would like it to be within 15 miles
