People Suck Sabotaged

so as you know im still harvesting corn. and I am at the last place that I have to do and someone decided to stack rocks. they stacked rocks in the rows so it would go into the combine and hopefully do damage. it did do some damage but nothing I can't deal with. so why do people do this? my guess is they are bored and have nothing in there lives other than to cause trouble for people they don't know. or they are people that do know me and just felt they needed to get repair videos. ether way they are cunts! merry Christmas and happy New Years to the folks that read this stuff.

[@AandSfarms2010]

First off thanks for the videos, second we are from MN on hilly rocky ground and have never ran a rock into the corn head, get one in the napping rollers from time to time in downed corn, we don't have to deal with stacked up rocks but steel fence posts have been put in my corn rows a few times, and yes some people really suck!

[@paulgood5298]

In Canada the farms are rocky and they have a machine called a “rock-picker”. I’ve seen videos of them working, they make a lot of racket but they do a very good job of collecting the rocks, then they dump them wherever they need to. Good luck 👍

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Jeez... sorry it's been so rough. Hopefully your Christmas is a bit nicer ❤

[@armedfarm3429]

I know a few farmers that have eaten little rock piles, every damn one of em had stacked the rocks to pick up later & forget to pick them up. Most of the time the corn get going & cover em up & they miss, em simple.

[@m.webber5118]

[@boeroe45]

Cows are honest and straightforward. Most people aren't...

[@hillbillyhicks8102]

It's got to be someone that knows how a combine works. Because who else would do this if they didn't know it would mess your machine up. The average person wouldn't know that this would mess your head up. Had to be someone who knows you and knows combines. That's my opinion.

[@BigDan7114]

Our creek bottom farm near the shore of Lake Ontario is literally FULL of ROCKS. Since 1843 picking every year. Stone walls , stone ditches. Etc. When you get your tool bar creation figured out come on up. Reel pickers , York rake versions , tried them all. Nothing beats free child labor. Hahahahaha We’ve filled in the old dairy foundation with rocks to save the upper barns . Countless stone piles in fields from the horse and stone boat days been moved and used for fill in roadways and other projects. “ how did this blanket of rocks get here.?“ Scientists say glaciers and fast draining glacial lake. My grandmother was more accurate I believe. “ the devil untied his apron string and dumped them all here !!! “

[@spencew.g.]

Back here on Iowa. When i was a kid in high school. Farmers would pay us to walk fields and pick rocks up for them. That was a long time ago. Lol

Years back we had a field that people used the leaves to physically tie the rocks onto the plants. Destroyed the cutterhead on the chopper twice before we figured out what was going on

[@burtzorn4059]

In Michigan a few years ago they drove fence post it the rows . Hit and miss all over the area. That really screws things up in a hurry. YOU ARE SO RIGHT PEOPLE ARE ASSHOLES. HOPE YOU AND THE FAMILY HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS !!!

[@hankelrod7315]

Rocky ground is fertile ground - I’ll take all the rocky dirt I can find to farm. I plant high ear set flex varieties that stand well at high populations in continuous corn & run my GP vert tool in fall to work stalks down (bring sledge hammer & long bar with you bc you will get rocks stuck between blades) so that you can find the bigger rocks to pick over the winter when stalks rot. I made a really nice 30 acre high yielding field out of really rocky ground no one else wanted over 3 years & hauled the rocks home for bin site base using a side by side with a dump bed to pick into

[@rt3box6tx74]

You could look for an old dryland buster-bottom planter used to throw out the top dry dirt and make a furrow to plant in... but theyre hell to run in damp soil and your ground is always damp in Spring. I've not tried to run mine since we began leaving all the corn stubble on top. Some young kids borrowed it and I'm not sure they ever brought it back. It may have got sold in their bankruptcy auction. 😄 Dryland cotton farmers all through west TX still run them. Mine was a genuine antique. Have you thought about a disk bedder? Those things throw some serious dirt at high speeds. I dont know what a 25 lb rock would do to a disk that hit it dead center. I have zero experience in rock farming. Every rock in this county was hauled in. Every tree was planted. It was wide open prairie pastureland when I was a kid. Merry Christmas Wes, Theresa, Will, Tim, et al.

[@thr8061]

That's beautiful land. If I had that land (and nothing suggested to Wes) I would cut the bush back on what I could and free up the trees. Rocks are a royal PITA! I'm wondering if a strip-til rig would help clear swaths for the corn?

[@This1LifeWeLive]

What? You mean someone stacked a wall of rocks up for you to hit it?!

[@rallyscoot]

Maybe a deer hunter? Or someone who knows hes it renting these fields?

Sorry this crap happens! Take a few game camera's and place them where they will likely come into the field, or near a tree line and fix them so they are up out of sight. These camera's have a low glow flash and work pretty well. Good luck and hope you catch them.

[@chrisrhoads8256]

Merry Christmas & happy holidays 👍hang in there buddy 😊

[@farming4g]

Not sure what to say with the rocks... Unless finding/building a modified strip-tiller to only do where the rows will be at and clean rock up there. Or for a mass cleanup a small chisel, harrow, and a rock rake to clean up small rocks, but the big ones will have to be picked separately doing small sections with what time is available. Haybuster makes a rock picker of that sort, but they can be problematic but do work.

[@davidthorne2129]

Lots of North American made rock racks and pickers on market. Have done it here in Australia. Chill plow first grow cereal crop burn stubble then rake and pick. Ute brilliant.

Need a rotary wing rock picker. Used alot up in the Canadian prairie when land is brushed and cleaned up.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing, hope you had a great Christmas, wishing you and your family a Happy New Year. I’ve seen videos on KZbin of some type of machine that makes all the rocks disappear in one pass. Not sure what it’s doing, looks like magic. 😂 maybe you could find out how they are doing it. If so I’d love to know how they are doing it. I was given the impression that they may have been pulverizing the rocks.

[@EdFrankes]

Have a wonderfull Christmas, Wes and family, and all the best wishes for 2024.

[@rallyscoot]

Its it be possible to rent a rock picker for these fields and go over it some time to get these rocks away from the fields.

[@abikerinpa]

I’m sorry you had an asshole try to damage your equipment, that’s why I tend to trust animals more than humans any more ! Merry Christmas my friend ! 🍺♥️😎🎄🎁

[@strong40]

Would the farmer who rented that ground before you have a grudge and stack rocks in the rows?

[@eddeetz493]

Would an old piece or two secured on the base with angle iron catch the rocks and spread any dirt back level. Multiple layers wire tied together? Gabion fence raised flower beds or drive way entrances would be a great place to use the rock.

[@billbrown6889]

My Granpa would walk the corn field after the combine went thru and pick up the missed corn. He used it to feed the squirrels in the wintertime.

Yeah, I had a neighbors teenage son salt my hay field with roofing nails. Luckily, the lugs on the tractor tires were thick enough to avoid flats, but they played hell with my implement and trailer tires. It was all fun and games until I talked to Dad and he had Junior out in a hay field in a Georgia July with a metal detector - and then Dad had him help pick up square bales for me (most likely, that was after a good butt whipping). That's been about 30 years ago and needless to say, I didn't have any more trouble out of Junior. Today, Mom and Dad would deny everything and want to fight you for accusing their baby of doing anything wrong.

[@danw6014]

Some ground probably isn't worth the effort but if you got good hay off of it ploe and reseed it and after the Timothy dies out it will be read for no till corn again. Have a Merry Christmas.

We've got plenty of rocks and assholes, in Missouri! So, since that area is a park now, I think it would be up to the County to install cameras, to watch their property. Many of our local County Parks in the Kansas City area have CCTV cameras. Could you use a disc plow to move the rocks?

How out of the question is a rock picker? Instead of trying to make something up. Not sure what a used one is going for. I know you’re trying to go over the field as little as possible but if you went over it once or twice and picked up the big shit and called it a day if that would be a better option over trying to make something up to push the rocks.
