Grew up on the Montana border as well was on the fire dept and in the case of fires there free movement between borders and our American neighbours would call us for help often

[@dennisryan2449]

Best brown mustard crop we ever had in the Macklin area was over 35 bushels/acre, 1 year. Long time ago, even before we had fancy air seeders! Straw got so long in low spots, though. Remember swathing dam stuff cause it wouldnt ripen. Some of it would grow 10-12 ft tall and lodge down to about 3 1/2 ft tall. Make big mess if not careful.

[@Dirtanddieselphotography]

Fun fact, gleaner has a ladder by the cab that you can swing out to get to the grain bin.

[@rebbroker8231]

I use the sample door as the ladder. Granted I’m still using a JD9400

[@coyne4586]

Here in southwestern North Dakota we've been having a good year for us, durum is yelding 80 to 85 bushel to the acre and barley 90 to 100 bushel to the acre compared to last year where we were getting poor yield due the extreme drought

[@stephensabatos898]

Mike , thanks for the education on the border , it would be nice not to play The border game and just to be able to cross back and forth no questions asked . Besides watching you I also watch the welkers and Tony fast . All three of you guys are great and I hope the outcome of fall harvest is all good .

[@verlinswarey507]

That whole border thing is just so fascinating to me. Some borders are guarded 24/7 with armed guards and razor wire,and others are just WIDE FREAKING OPEN! That actually gives me a warm feeling. This is what it looks like when two nations who are very much the same share a border. This doesn’t look bad to me;this looks good!

[@tjakko4659]

The borders between most European countries are even way easier to cross, those borders don't even have border controls.. You only notice it by seeing the country sign and max speed along the road

[@wahconah98]

@@tjakko4659 : The Schengen countries are an interesting datapoint. In overall scale and operation, it's more akin to the free movement between states in the US. I'm of the mindset that a similar arrangement could be made between the US and Canada due to our generally common values and interests but there are too many "OMG THE IMMIGRANTS" people that'll prevent that from happening.

[@wahconah98]

@Burt - I see Burt from the internet brain trust has shown up! I’ll be waiting on your report detailing how the constitution has any relevance to this matter.

[@samskeeter1]

I'm enjoying your posts Mike. Thanks for the border footage I always wondered what it would be like way out in the open spaces between Canada and the US.

[@ronaldrankin9918]

I loved cutting soybeans and remember always having to adjust the reel height and ground speed on the fly and by the seat of your pants depending on the crop conditions. Love watching your videos! There is one thing that I see on that JD I do not like and that’s the header safety lock, if the machine has a catastrophic hydraulic failure that header is coming done.

[@nbcnco25]

It is a check valve system that closes without oil, but I hear you I would add a stop if I was going to be under it.

[@ke6gwf]

I am guessing that it uses the same hydraulic safeties that a crane would use, where the cylinder can't move unless there is pressure applied to it, and that valve prevents pressure being applied to it. And the safety lock valves are always hard pipe plumbed to the cylinder so hose failure has no effect. Anything short of a catastrophic cylinder failure would at worst cause it to leak down slowly, and with multiple lift cylinders you have redundancy. In addition they know that most farmers won't go to the work of installing a cylinder stop anyway, so adding fail safe hydraulics actually makes it much safer for the average farmer! Lol

When you're in or near a high security zone it is always best to act with the presumption that you are always being watched and listened to *especially* if it seems like you couldn't possibly be observed. Thanks for the "leg" protein in my mustard BTW. Nothing wrong with some insect parts as long as they've been through the cooking kettle. I only worry about insect inclusions that get in *after* packaging of my food.

Went last year but worked the night before, met Tim Marks but missed the Welkers, Cole and whistlindiesel. I was too tired to stick around long and think some of them caught the Rona.

[@joescheller6680]

John Deere Case IH whatever make combines for corn and beans. You have to improvise in other crops to get clean samples beginning with filler plates and filler plates and in your case you can't really set combine good in poor conditions need to run the machine full. As you well know

they should make the sample door a sample step as well. then you can either use it to take a sample or step onto the roof.

[@avail1.]

what are u smokin farmer......brown mustard is a good crop, and thanx for sharing your life.

[@phalanx3803]

I like the sample door on the old Gleaners it fills up slowly via a small bit of c channel that run up under the bin auger and it takes little bits as you going so you sample is a good average of whats in the bin.

[@lynwessel2471]

The older John Deeres had that tray. We had one the top bolt fell out and the tray ended up wrapped around the bottom of the unload auger. Fortunately the tank was 3/4 empty when it stopped unloading and I was able to eventually get it out of there after working on it upside down in the grain for about 20 minutes.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mike

Here in the South (Georgia) our tea is sweet tea also.

[@joescheller6680]

Being one who has run them all through the years Massey was the dominant machine till they sold out. Deere and Case IH were not even in the picture hardly in custom operater Deere and Case took over in later years. Ran about every model in them up to the 9750 in all the current machines I can take the old 7720 and beat anything in samples along with 760 Massey. But in my experience over the years the Class has them all beat in capacity. Even your new John Deere models. You have to pick a machine that you get the best service out of which is The Dealers you know that I'm sure

[@JaredJanhsen]

Sweet tea I've found is more common in the Southern United States. I'm from Texas where just about everywhere asks "You want sweet or unsweet?" go far enough north and they just bring you sugar packets if you want it sweet.

[@jeffg6429]

Ah, the good o’l days. Spent allot of time unplugging the feeder house back before the reverser’s. 7700’s, 8820’s. I believe the 9600’s had reverser’s if I remember correctly? Beautiful machine you have. Excited to see the X9 in operation on the good crop up North

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

God Bless you Brother Mike! 😌 You’re correct. They are doing poorly in Montana but it’s all about the attitude just like you Brother they are working on the ol 5 years plan! My Father has a huge (for Western Washington) Ranch in Sumas Washington State. We have a huge Field (like just one of yours) and Canada is our Northern Property line. 🧐 We used to rent the whole thing out for years before my Dad retired and moved there. One of the Tenants 🙄 thought they would be just fine throwing duffel bags full of money across and catch the duffel bags of weed they were smuggling! This was a long long time before weed became legal here in Washington. They did a huge DEA investigation and they almost cost us our Ranch we had to prove it was renters not us. 🤦🏻‍♂️ After everything my Dad had to pay thousands for Lawyers and Legal fees! We never rented it out again. Dad retired from Pharmacy work and he has it for a “Hobby Ranch” ❤️😏🇺🇸🖖🏼

You can say that it went from .48 cents to over 2 dollars per pound in the last year at 3 bushels per acre he’s going to be around $300 per acre on mustard for a garbage 3 bushel crop at least until the supply stabilizes and the price goes down
