[@pstrass6353]

Wes, I love your videos because you are real! Also a real family man. Families that farm are close

[@fk4515]

I hear you about the old trucks. My Dad's cousin restored a Model A huckster 50 years ago. It was for sale in Central Illinois a few months ago, wish I had been able to get it

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. Merry Christmas, wishing you and your family the best.

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great video Wes thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there

[@farmerboo6144]

Loving these vids and your commentary thanks Wes

[@steveholton4130]

Whatever floats your boat, Wes. You are the Professor and we are just here to sponge up anything you tell us! sdh in the former Tobacco Valley of CT

[@ciaran-hi8hq]

Wes at 6:28 when u were talking about the 8120 it was the 7930 that was on the video. Very impressive line up of machines you run and inspiring how u repair your own equipment and adapt to the jobs you do. Hats off to you wesley

[@clarkeseymour4684]

Would luv to see more videos of your adventures baling straw.

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

We have a '35 Chevy with duals and a wooden flat bed. It was an old grain truck, and still has the number written in grease crayon above the back window, and has a stamped brass tag with the number with the key. Flat out you can maybe get it going about 35-40 downhill!!!

[@speetjensalex]

I love seeing the three balers running in the same field

[@glenvanbavel8710]

Cool video. Merry Christmas

[@johnrankin9944]

Love the NC footage!

[@brianmullins5824]

This is some of your best content Wes,love the visuals but I always love to hear you talk us through the video, brilliant stuff Wes thank you for this great video.

[@OhioBuckeye]

Loved the drone footage!

[@28081481]

Loved the video and drone footage Wes. Really good to see the country there. Has been pouring rain and flooding here on east coast Australia atm. Should be out working ground and planting corn but way too wet, much better off staying inside catching up on your videos. Cheers Ron

[@theda850two]

Oh yaaa , that '38 Ford front end is the best ever, Beeyooteeful!

[@patrickdagati5785]

Love watching and listening to you learn a lot from you

[@kevinhickson1481]

Nice views.

[@bryanginder5903]

O yes Wes keep these videos coming!!

[@odf8782]

Merry Christmas Wes and family. Keep these type of videos coming.

[@michaelchaney7881]

Man I enjoy watching anything you upload

[@lesr5737]

Thanks for sharing very much enjoyed the video and the story time behind the scenes it made for entertaining video thanks again for your effort. I saw William a couple 3 videos back I can't believe how that boy has growin. An Instagram video that I enjoyed what's when you came home from Trucking and William met you at the door with his new shoes I got a big kick out of that thanks ldr

[@jimhanlon7589]

That was enjoyable please do more

[@idahofarmer6775]

Merry Christmas Wes and family

[@oldfarmshow]

Thank you for the video

[@seriouslyconfused1]

I enjoyed it so much you get one of my rare like button press.

[@jddriver9565]

wow i love these north carolina videos, can´t get enough of them!:) little question:what are these bales used for that you baled?

[@skyking228]

Beautiful farms and footage. Have the owners asked you to plow/till, harrow, fertilize and level the fields after you're done? They could provide the farm implements/fuel and you could provide the tractors, labor and skills. Fun to watch, thanks!

[@edwardmyers3277]

Loved the video and the commentary!

[@matthewcorbett8385]

I would love to see more bailing footage. ...

[@sacredcrosscattleco.9122]

kalmbach in shippensburg is a good mill/ grain elevator . We buy a lot of feed supplements from them. Right down the road another 35 miles is martins elevator. There grain pay prices are also competitive.

[@paulhudson8321]

Those drone shots reminds me of farming simulator game. Looks great from that perspective. I sold my soybeans about 2 months ago for over $14.75 per bushel. Southern Ontario Canada.

[@kevincarver9949]

Hello Wes. I would very much like to see more footage of the straw job. Thanks

[@lancelarson6710]

I got a buddy that hauls pallets of hotdogs with his live bottom out to California from Iowa.

[@timnichols9015]

I like the format. Nice change

[@SledgeHammer43]

You need wider tires or tracks for that kind of weather. Wes. How much Snow did you get Wes.

[@davelane644]

I just picked up a 27 Chevy and am sure enjoying it

[@danw6014]

Love the footage. Hope you guys didn't have to much snow to deal with.

[@ac-ww5xm]

Cool video wes.

[@gregbird6615]

Lot of grain farmers around here bag corn and sell. Seems a little time consuming then price for bags but they sell a lot of it

[@robertgwinn8406]

Cool pictures

[@sacredcrosscattleco.9122]

As always enjoy the videos also.

[@jrice1091]

Keep em coming Wes!

[@planeiron241]

you need to come to Ky where there r 2000 acre and 500 acre fields

[@SuperFriday88]

I’m shocked at how low the yields are back east as compared to pivot irrigated ground, you had stated in a previous video that you covered 7000 acres for only 15k bales given the bale wieghts likely averaged between 1200-1500lbs depending on moister, you average around 1.3-1.6 tons per acre. We average on our straw between 4-4.5 ton per acre same with our grain hay. In 2019 we baled 2000 acres of barley and twin wheat that averaged just over 4 ton our bales averaged between 1250-1300lbs as we can get our hay quite a bit dryer than you guys can back east I’m sure. We put down just under 13000 bales on just over 1/4 of the acerage. Most of the hay we bale is alfalfa and grass hay but occasionally we do a bit of grain hay. Even our alfalfa and grass hay produces 1.6-2.5 ton per acre per cutting though. I’m shocked that grain straw over there produces so little..

[@troyrutledge1663]

Those feilds look rough, not the first time they been ripped up

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I would really like to find a late 40's/early 50's Chevy to fix up, but they are hard to find and expensive.

[@MrE30]

Wesley just curious, would duals on the back be any help in North Carolina? Yes please continue to upload more thanks.

[@alanb9337]

Rear dual tractor tires would make the roading between fields that they bale more difficult, due to extra width, rotational inertia etc. 15000 agricultural vehicle on public road accidents a year in the US. Tractor escort accident NC 2020 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6K7hGhueqyaibc Maybe fold up the baler platform and have a short Trailer attenuator on the rear of the baler (if they a legal and not over ag vehicle maximum length specs) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2bGp4emo6ZlmpI

[@ollie-lk5dx]

@@alanb9337 Not sure how to word this, and not trying to pick a fight. But farmers are just doing what they need to do to make a living, I realize in heavy populated area's that car traffic and farm traffic don't mix well. I've also noticed that in lot's of area's they have very narrow paved highways, Maybe they should never have been paved or they should have been 6' wider, Or maybe car travel should be reduced to 45 mph due to narrow road, That probably would reduce lots of traffic and accidents. Wish I had the answers. Only suggestions.

[@alanb9337]

@@ollie-lk5dx No problem. Some places the farmers are taking the duals off and going to LSW tires. Maybe if OLF has wet fields every year in NC then a set of LSWs for the 8530 might work. (Farmer replaces duals with LSWs) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJemaKqcgNt2nLs

[@ollie-lk5dx]

@@alanb9337 I have to ask do you farm? I agree that LSW tires make sense till you price them out, tire is expensive enough, But you need a new rim as well, so it get's real expensive real quick, And you have to remember that's a commercial . And I should add Trelleborg came out with that concept long before the LSW was introduced. Why should the farmer bear the burden because the state or what ever entity built such narrow roads without shoulders. Just my observation from 40 years in the industry

[@duaneledford2590]

Did the big custom fodder jobs not pan out? Too much to do at home, or they didn't materialize? Just curious. Like all your content. Thanks

[@jeffc6268]

Thanks for sharing!

[@colinkennedy8730]

Other good video Wes ,keep it up

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

Need to get a kureg coffee maker the problem with ground vacuum pack is clock ⏰ is ticking once you open a bag even in a sealed container your opening/closing air. Grinding beans or just use the k-cups set your desired strength always fresh. Um not a Java fan but they make great hot chocolate. But the ground make good fertilizer for Azalea bushes my grandmother put her grounds on the ground let them absorb for her entire life come Easter full of blooms and was the healthiest plant. Prune some yes.

[@beargibson3100]

Mud straw? You mean," ye olde bricks. XD LMAO

[@ReverseProof]

Yes! More videos please!

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Do the land owners not get upset with the fields getting all rutted uo like that ?

[@lukestrawwalker]

Not much you can do about it... if they're following right behind with a drill to plant beans well they're gonna rut it up too. Ideally you don't want to run on ground when it's that wet-- create a LOT of compaction and issues (particularly on clay soils) but the next time I see "ideal" conditions on a farm when you NEED to get the work done will be about the first time LOL:) Gotta get her done and sometimes that means making a bit of a mess. Later! OL J R :)

[@joshmiller8663]

Wes you pissed off the haters in the first minute.

[@thomasleonard1846]

Have a great Christmas!

[@SwimminThelake]

Yes, of cause we wanna see more footage of North Carolina!

[@goodcountryliving9153]

What happened to the movie you were making during last years straw job

[@HmsSulaco]

Hi Wes i ones had a bad injector it only sprayed on 3 holes insted of 5, and it blew hole in the piston. Maby that's what happen ?.

[@elmcustomharvesting1072]

I took it personally. I must be a millennial. Thanks for the straw video it warms me up in December. 18 degrees and snow. Have a great day

[@onelonleyfarmer]

What did I say lol

[@Gustav4]

good notill planters will easily plant through wheat stubble and many farms has just as great yield doing that if there is a general focus on biological healthy soil.

[@butterbeanfarmer7952]

Any videos loading the tractor trailer with corn

[@THESPECTER1984]

Thought you said Joe quit
