CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every Sunday and Wednesday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

wow at 7:03.....the view is awesome!(the sunset and the deere of course)

[@kristenscott9438]

Bummer about that bale that tried escaping the field, Ryan! Awesome videos!

[@eddeetz493]

I hope Kuhn gives you a smoking deal on the manure spreader you will need next spring. Idea, can the highschool shop do a rehab on the old spreader? Your going to have alot of work with 3 growing herds. Good luck with $3.00 # beef. Be prepared and finish your open cows and steers to fill Coles back orders. Networking utube channels selling farm products is the next step to cutting out the 80% monopoly. Times are improving for utube farmers markets.

[@ronbuch6162]

You are a natural educator! You love farming and sharing your knowledge and experiences. Fun to watch!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@waterskiingfool]

Nice sunsets. Hope you and Hannah have a good thanksgiving

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! Got some really great sunset shots taken. I swear I didn't laugh when the bale took off 😂

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Me either. 😂 Been there, done that 😮

[@SimonKL11]

It's great that you got more fodder made😉👍 the kuhn is a very nice baler for sure😄👍 the scenery looks amazing with the evening sky👍👍

[@ronvoelker]

"THANK YOU."

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

If you have the knives, USE them! Better bales, and in stalky stuff you get maximum returns. What they don't eat they sleep on, but either way you waste less and have an easier to spread bedding pack. At least 15% more in every bale, and in hay waaay less waste. 👍

[@NickJr0001]

That’s a nice Sunset and photo of the tractor at 7:01.

[@rossnolan2883]

Let’s roll 😊😊😊😊

[@larrysheriff8251]

Hey Ryan, The fodder looks good and tight rolled. Barbed wire gets every thing. Take care, Take it easy and trust JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@clinthochrein888]

Welp, so much for the runaway fodder bale🤷‍♂

[@jeremydobbert1287]

Kuhn really does have some awesome and very well built equipment.

[@TheVideoSteve]

Nice music Ryan; and nice visuals in your videos

[@billwieland8497]

Thanks Ryan!

[@Michael-fd8ob]

Great info

[@stevemueller3705]

Thanks for posting! I hope you guys end up with enough bails to get you through the winter! ❄️

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@digger5858]

Excellent video Ryan and your drone footage is always excellent!!! Beautiful sunset looked like your tractor was on 🔥🔥

[@peterwgoertzen2472]

560 sure puts out a nice bale.

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey Ryan Great video and drone footage. The Kuhn Baler sure makes a great bale. Wouldn’t much left of the bale you rescued 😂

[@johnnydale6515]

Ryan of all the farming channels I watch your fotographic scenes are the most beautiful , keep up the great videos , best wishes for the rest of the harvest

[@patkelly7999]

Great job Ryan and Travis, yeah that salvage operation did not exactly stick to the script👌👍🙏🙂

[@galegregory97comcast]

❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊 hope you have a lot of good bails for all the cows for all 3 farms DBU KEEP WARM WINTER COMING 😮😮😮

[@gastonbenvenuto5790]

Muy bueno lindo video! Buen trabajo!Las imágenes son una maravilla 👍🏼 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@pennyhaldeman5626]

Loved the music on your drone video, and the sunset was beautiful too.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thank you!

[@tucobenedicto109]

I would say the baler is nice and your family needs something with knives. For the spreader kuhns spreader was real efficient. Keep the new idea as if a new one goes down, you have a spare .

[@stuartsplace100]

Sweet 😊

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Ryan, thanks for doing that bit of research 100 pounds doesn't sound a lot especially since the cut bales will use more diesel to cut the stalks, thanks for sharing

[@shyfarmboya]

lol on the runway. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 and 😂😂😂😂😂 on the recovery.

[@battleensignfarms]

Ouch, that one bale has some wheels on it leaving the baler

[@charleslynch7274]

Pretty kool

[@rtz549]

Consider a video showing the spreader in how it works and its limitations and if it could be upgraded or modernized.

[@teddycrenshaw223]

That back gate looks to be super fast opening and closing.

[@chrisrenken9303]

Ever done soybean bales Had a neighbor do that before for beding

[@felixzapata9058]

Watched when there was about 22 views earlier today and found that runaway bail exciting...looks like there's no 8 hr. days in your neck of the woods...@!

[@robertreznik9330]

never realized It took so much to feed cattle. Bedding is not used in the beef capital of the world. here the center of the pen is built up so the cattle pen is dry. That must be why most beef is produced here. Most feedlots have a dozen employees to feed a hundred thousand to 1/2 million each year. usually the management has advanced degrees. The cattle are shipped in hundreds of miles and the corn by 110 car trains. It takes less feed here with mostly ideal weather. Then the processed are shipped all over the world. My farm likes the manure that tests NPK of 1.8%,2%,1.8%

[@MATTREBARCHEK28]

LOVE THE BAILING VIDEOS RYAN DEER HUNTING STARTS TOMORROW HOW MUCH CORN YOU HAVE LEFT TO HARVEST?

[@camperry4962]

In the opening scene: Do you have an exhaust or turbo leak on the bottom front? Or was that just dust getting blown off by the fan starting up? The gray-ish haze makes me think the former vs the latter, but it is through the lens of YT's compression algorithm.

[@bighouse1283]

Shocking Kuhn doesn't have an accumulator attachment on the back of it so you could drop the bales where you want them!

[@HowFarmsWork]

We would have one of those bent off lickety split.

[@davidthorne2129]

Ps. Combination baler wrapper can also act as accumulator or hold bale hay on till get to safe area to drop.

[@jolietjohn8024]

Was the scale a separate implement?

[@eof3100]

Have you considered installing a hay preservative applicator on you baler for these times during year that it is difficult to dry your hay or fodder ?

[@HowFarmsWork]

We have preservative on one of our balers, useful when storing the bales inside if they're out of optimal moisture range

[@cdarting91]

Did that runaway bale cause sparks when it hit the fence?!?!

[@Traxxas184]

I’ve never seen a drive over gate before that’s genius! But how do you lock them?

[@rtz549]

Just wrap a chain around one side or the other and pad lock it.

[@JoaoPires-pd9ot]

Oi ❤️🚜👍

[@davidthorne2129]

Hi from oz Ryan. It’s me again. Do you think it’s about time you changed one of your “redundant technologies” jd balers for a modern European baler? How about a combination baler/wrapper unit? The pros are the bale is wrapped immediately (no need to bust yourself getting them wrapped in 6 hours and overall less handling to storage area). The cons are used twice as much plastic, only com in 4 wide by 5 high and more option’s when doin hay. When I changed to combination baler I double my daily output and a few times I even hit 350 in one day.

[@HowFarmsWork]

What's the price on one of those units compared to a conventional baler?

[@davidthorne2129]

Hi Ryan. General rule of thumb a bit more than buying top line baler and top line individual auto wrapper. But remember you are cutting out the extra man and tracto and not using fuel as bales are wrapped on the baler while the next bale is being made.

[@ronvoelker]

Follow your channel constantly. Who is Brittney?

[@HowFarmsWork]

She's my sister in law

[@johncastle5160]

Hey Ryan have a question for you is the corn fodder more harder on Baylor or is it about the same as the hay?

[@ericrisch9616]

A lot harder. Hay alfalpha and grass is smooth flowing and gentle. Corn stalks are tough. Pointy. And don’t tear or break apart easily

[@johncastle5160]

Ok when I was milking we never used fodder for bedding it was straw an sand but also cows was in the barn all the time

[@ericrisch9616]

@@johncastle5160 corn fodder retains heat when you lay on it long enough

[@johncastle5160]

Ok thanks for the info

[@Calvincravens]

Do y’all have 3 balers or just 2?

[@rtz549]

2 Deere and that Kuhn.

Hey Ryan I'm sure there are things on the farm that happen That you are really not proud about.

Yep, try to show them because mistakes happen
