This is why you have become so popular on KZbin. You are a professional farmer running a major grain operation with a complex elevator system. You have a great knack for teaching us about the operation and your videos are always current.

My 12 year son Mark has downs syndrome and loves everything farming. He watches your KZbin show almost daily. He loves to watch the deere combines dump on the go and he especially likes to see your kids ride along in the buddy seats. This is one of his favorite things to do with his uncle and cousins on their farm in mineral point WI. We live in Dubuque, Iowa and work for John Deere and really appreciate the education you are giving to non farmers. Keep it up. It is and will continue to be my sons passion to share with his family.

Maybe this is just the first year you are showing it, but it seems like when you get all 3 trucks full and grain cart, you are essentially forced to stop to wait for either room in the wet tank or the dryer to catch up. Seems that 12 row header is making field time faster than usual. If you were forced to replace the wet tank or dryer to make your operation flow more, which would you choose and why? Also, you went from like 80k to 120k in what seems like just a month. That is a tell-tell sign of quality content. Excellent job to both of you!!!

Well the way i see it increasing wet tank capacity is just dellaying the problem not fixing it. The optimal would probably be wet tank capacity for like a days harvest, and having a dryer big enough to make sure that pretty much empties every morning before you start.

Jordan Roberts I’m thinking that at this point they are dealing with 3 things that slow the system down. Wetter worn than normal, cold temperatures, and the 12 row header increasing harvesting speed. Possibly in a “normal year” the problem wouldn’t exist. Having said that I’d go for more wet storage first. An overhead cone bottom that could be filled with dry corn for a quick load otLooks like a big dryer.
@stubbi
@stubbi 6 жыл бұрын
Lower temperatures aren't slowing down the harvest, it's actually accelerating it (frost pushing out the water eca). My guess is that they have enough trucks to store it if the wet bin is ever full, but judging from the system my guess is that it actually goes fairly quickly to dry out the corn. So if they leave it running overnight it might empty a lot from the wetbin, or certainly enough to not worry about it.

Hello from the gulf coast of Texas! They grow rice and cotton around here and I have come face to face with a harvester several times. We live on a dead end road that is all rice patties. Currently we are building a small farming/ranch business as my Dad nears retirement. He enjoys the work and it allows us to put some beef in our freezer for the family. I run the haying operation and work to feed the cows in the winter. we are slowly building the business, but every time I get on my tractor to go cut, rake or bale it feels good. We have a yard full of John Deere equipment and we are going Friday to buy another green tractor. This time one with A/C, heat, and a radio (Big step up!). Have a great day and keep the awesome videos coming. I really enjoy them!

I'm not familliar with farming, but I design and build robotic and hard automation systems for industrial use. This is process control, not unlike industrial many processes, so I feel qualified to speak about it, generally. Timing belts (toothed belts) are more expensive, but they are far more robust than V-belts. However, they are more like chains, in that they don't slip and might cause issues when there is a jam. In industrial settings, we use shear pins and special sprockets or pullies. Shear pins are far easier to replace than belts and they protect against overtorque events, such as a jammed auger. As for an air line blowing off, you could add pressure sensors to the top of each bin and have your control verify that there is the expected pressure available at the bin that is supposed to be receiving the grain. In general, a little more control logic (and some sensors), attached to your already installed control system could make this system far more fool proof. I don't think it would be too dificult or expensive to allow you and your father to sleep throughout the night, rather than checking on things that the control can do. By the way, the issue with your moisture readings being off is likely not the "computer", it likely has to do with 1) the sensor. 2) the wiring that supplies the sensor. 3) The amplifier that converts conductivity to an analog signal that the controller reads as % moisture. This should be troubleshooting that the manufacture of your system can walk you through.

Depends, and Yes moisture. I’m assuming the dryer can slow the flow through the walls to maintain its 15% setpoint. It is probably rated at a certain crop moisture, and at a certain ODAT (outdoor air temp) to be able to determine the bushels/hr. output.

Thanks for explaining the drying system! I farm about the same amount you do in SE Nebraska but there are very few drying setups on farms here. We have a couple of 10,000 bu. batch drying bins but by the time we dry that much corn we can almost always get the rest of it out of the field at 17% or 18% moisture. Then we just put it in our big bins and air dry it down to 15%. I am so glad we don't have to go through the added hassle and expense you guys up north do. I think we did batch dry about 50,000 bu back in 09' by emptying and refilling our drying bins but thankfully we don't have years like that very often.

A few, yes. They come up from the CRP land at night and eat on the south side of the bins. Pheasants too.

Thank you for taking the time to make videos! It's great to share information for other farmers to learn from as well as showing non-farmers what farming is really like. And thank you for representing Sukup Mfg! ~ Fellow farmer and Sukup dealer in South Dakota

Do you have lids on the pits to keep water out when it rains?

Rain water has very little effect on that amount of grain in that small area, I've worked on farms where they store it outside until it's taken into dry, rain or not! 😋

Another very interesting and informative, video Zach. The other day I was reminded of the chore of keeping the windows on the combine clean. I discovered a quick easy way to clean them, California Car Dusters, as long as the glass is dry, they really make cleaning them easy.

I remember my grandpa running the dryer and running wagons on my uncle's farm as a kid. They didn't have nearly the setup you do now and had a dryer that was run off a PTO. But I remember going out with him to get a sample of corn in an old Foldgers can and using the moisture tester. Good memories.

Great tour..back in my farming days with my dad we picked our corn and stored in corn cribs. The reason why at that time you could get money for the corn cobs. He thought about shelling his corn also , but decided not too. He farmed with his dad since the 1930's.

That red blower, in the air system, is (Sutorbilt?) the same type, and close to the same size, that we use as vacuums in carpet cleaning.

This exactly the kind of work I'm trying to do. Great teaching points and yes I end up watching the entire video. I will be watching more videos. I grow sugar cane, and will soon invest a lot in corn. So this is way better than sitting in a classroom learning about agriculture. Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Zack. I want to thank you and Matthew for what you do. Most of urban America has no idea of what has to happen to put food on the table. We are wet in the Panhandle of Oklahoma and aren't harvesting corn either. I believe we are around 75% done but still have 40 to 50% of our milo or grain sorghum left to cut. Take care and keep up the good work on educating people.

We farm in Illinois and we can't run now because of high water all of our grain goes to the Mississippi River and its flooding right now so that has our elevator shut down we had to get a new set of floater tires for the combine we're now running 1400/30R46 lsw goodyears so this so far has been an expensive fall for us good luck and have a safe harvest
