Cleaning Seed - North Farm

[@leddielive]

Someone's put a lot of thought, money & effort into creating that grain cleaning setup. Just a quick look tells me that these guys know what they are doing & fill me with confidence, after all the grain they are cleaning is vital to how next year's crop is going to grow & produce enough tonnage to keep the farm profitable, hopefully. In theory working with the best team you can put together should produce the best results.

Congratulations mike on 200000 subscribers. Good times , Ty everyone for helping Mike out

[@drudder40]

you farm in the middle of no-where, and never seem to have a dull day Mike, your enthusiasm and content is a inspiration keep videos coming

Congratulations for 200k subscribers. IMO the best farming/agriculture channel on YT (by far...) Remember when I #found# your channel, a video where you and Brian were fixing a water pipe. Cheers from Portugal

[@scottalspach8020]

Hope your 2024 is very prosperous and safe. Looking forward to another great year of awesome videos.

What an impressive cleaning rig! And...lordy that beltveyor can move grain! Thanks for taking us along Mike, stay warm (we to have -9 F tomorrow... where F & C is almost equal)

[@geoffhamm8298]

C and f don’t get equal till -40

[@elizabethliska5377]

I drive a Navistar also, I hate when it beeps and does not shift at low RPMS. If I drive a freightliner it shifts,at almost any RPM .

[@frankkirby5763]

Mike this is impressive. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and your family and best wishes. You feed the world.

[@JaredJanhsen]

That's a heck of a mobile cleaning rig. It does a fantastic job.

[@rogerschlitter5116]

This is a big upgrade from our days of cleaning seed oats with a Clipper Fanning Mill set up next to the oat bin. My dad would have ran a germination test during the winter to be sure the oats were good to use for seed. Shoveled the oats in and then shoveling it out into sacks to be hauled to the field when we drilled oats. A sign of spring.

[@x_Dude1]

Pretty cool stuff, get it sorted in the field.

[@keithwinter6005]

Nice cleaning rig gravity table sure brings final sample up

[@Don-pq5gg]

Thanks for the tour. Excellent.

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video mike , that time of year again

[@shoutout.kokain8713]

Just so you know, your mic thing actually works very well! it really does help!

[@P_Rund1952]

And we used to clean seed by putting a Clipper cleaner on planks across the bed of our Studebaker truck and running seen from the overhead bins of our crib. Maybe 50 bu/hr on a good day. Crib still stands, wish I still had that truck.

[@jaredaimee5232]

Hey good video on my birthday!!!

[@davidlogel2350]

Cleaner was built in Dysart Sk by Scott Macknak and his crew at SMS.

[@mikebeatstsb7030]

They got a sweet setup

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Here is too an optimal germination and harvest! Good luck

[@JakeMeier-l4v]

Thanks for the amazing vids Mike

[@abitoutofsorts]

That’s a nice setup 👍

[@danadams8718]

Nice cleaner!

[@roymills2564]

interesting set up with the cleaner, i run a cleaner nearly the same but a bit smaller for 5 years in england. we didnt have the sitting room tho lol that would have been nice. we also had a chemical treater on board and put the clean treated grain in half and one ton bags. congrats on the 200k subs mike .

[@SergioClaudio]

Mike's truck got probed, we all got to do it someday. 😱

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Bent bows on your screening trailer Mike, hit them with the loader bucket, or did probe get them at the elevator or Terminal? It happens. Looked like every cross bow except 1 got bent tho, on that trailer. Maybe I'm looking at where a center pipe is supposed to be, but that trailer doesn't have a center pipe. We don't mess with super bee down here in the States as a rule. At least not in here in Minnesota. 42 foot trailer can easily haul 80000 lbs and 10% more in winter. A high side 42ft tri axle trailer and tri axle tractor can be permitted for even more. But our axle laws are different than yours as are our drivers onduty hours of service. Informative video tho Mike.

[@michelpicton8357]

Congrats on 200k subs

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Mike, I hope your staying warm, its currently-35 here in Southern Alberta, Uh...remember Mike needs a empty trailer.. ya know referring to oneself in a third person is a sign of mental instability right ?? At least the guy leaving this message said so 😉🤣 Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@keithauer4548]

Can't wait to see those new BIG RED beasts this spring lol

[@FuelMan]

It looks like you might be converting Ronald over to the Fent tractors. And they are trying more winter wheat. You might need to take a trip to Iowa.

[@pietoosterhof5901]

You never fell othose stairs on the trailer Mike? You doing that so fast.😉

[@oldad6207]

Your audio sounds fine.

Need get a loader put on that 930 and it'll be a beast. You can get them for it.

[@hutterite1]

Heard of those mobile rigs...never really seen them up close, tho

[@stevenhorne5089]

That cleaners an awesome machine. How do they bill you? By the bushel, time, the crop, or all 3?

[@Dave-nc2wh]

Maybe a dumb question, but what do you do with the 'screenings'? Would you sell them to cattle farmers for feed? Thanks, from a non-farmer. Another great video. Thank you!

[@EFCasual]

That or mix it into clean stuff you are selling if it's not too much.

[@davidlogel2350]

Wheat screenings sell just fine, can get #1 for it often. Lentil screenings not so much, take what you can get or sell it to a neighbour with cattle.

[@shanen.6237]

[@justchris66]

What kind of grain trailers are you running? Is that a special option with the side by side hopper gates?

[@rogercligg4531]

Brrr.looks pretty snapper on that video.

[@MrDvdwills]

Hello; What do you do with the 10% waste small etc. If for seed why do you not also treat with chemical at the same time

[@samskeeter1]

Did the seed cleaners copy the gravity table off the gold miners or was it the other way round?

[@adamjackson9586]

What is the hourly/$per bushel charge for a cleaning rig like that?

[@davidstith9297]

How many acres of wheat are you planning on planting at the North Farm in 2024?

[@crandonborth]

all of them...

[@davezalinko1354]

New and old crop prices are absolutely pathetic. New crop durum $9.24, wheat well below that. Barley is almost worthless. You know what’s out there. Rising inputs and falling commodities is going to make for a long yr. Hoping for moisture to stay a float. Trying to find enthusiasm to keep playing this game.

[@mikemitchell2554]

I know... It's not a very bright outlook right now

[@jimpolk]

Mike, why get rid of small seeds? Wouldn't they still grow a plant?

[@kevinmeyer3884]

You would, but smaller seeds have less viger, may be a sign of poor genetics. So we, as farmers, always want to plant the biggest seed possible !

[@jimpolk]

As big as y'all are why don't y'all have your own grain cleaning facility for the whole family and then whoever has the best crop you have the best grain😳😳😳😳😳😳 then you can build a nice heated facility that's simple and it's only in one spot and you just hauled a good grain to it😋😋😋😋😋😋

They do have a heated cleaner room on the south farm it just isnt finished just yet.
