I watch several farm channels in the upper Midwest and northeast part of the country. I’m in Mississippi and it’s amazing seeing how the seasons are so different. Our corn harvest runs mid-August through mid-September, immediately followed by cotton & soybean harvest. We’re usually done with everything by mid-November. I really learn so much by seeing how farming is done in other areas. Thanks for doing your videos.

You do a wonderful job of explaining tings to the public that have no farm experience but also drawing in the people like myself that do. The reason a lot of the time that corn gets left in the field in dairy country is no room for it or the fields are too wet and have to wait for a hard freeze. I hope you have some ideas for some winter videos, as your followers want more. Thank you

Very efficient. That's awesome. I've heard that some farming can be done year round, but I haven't seen how it's done. I really appreciate your videos. I've learned a lot of fascinating thighs since I've been watching you hear. You also have an amazing way of explaining farming to those who don't farm can really appreciate and understand how it works. Super cool!

Our neighbor here in Iowa was an older gentleman (this was while I was growing up) always waited until way late......like sometimes January to pick corn from his field. I never understood why. Inevitably being Iowa and our crazy winters here, we'd either get an early heavy wet snow 10-12 inches, or a bad ice storm/snow storm combo and it would wreck the corn. He had an old Massey Ferguson combine that did 6-8 rows at most, and the ground would be littlered wtih waste corn. THE DEER LOVED his field, there were always a ton of them out there after he picked the field. He never let anyone hunt deer on his property, so it was sort of a deer sanctuary. So we would set up on our side of the timber from the field and had a permanent tree stand set up, me, my dad, and my friends and their dads all got deer from that spot every year in late season muzzleloader. We did have permission to hunt pheasants there- it was a great place to do that, the guy left a lot of buffer between the planted corn and the fencelines, had shelterblets, waterways, etc. I think he was retired from farming, but had just enough ground to plant to keep him going. He was in his 70's then (this was in the late 80's-early 90's) .WHen he died, someone bought the property, razed the house, barn, cattle lot, the patch of timber we shared, and plowed it all under and planted corn on it. That's Iowa these days.

Yeah, I'm not sure if this is happening in Maine where you guys are at, but there used to be a farm on every half mile section, or 4 farms on every mile section . Now there are a lot less farmers owning owning large sections of land. Old farmhouses, and hold barns are disappearing and the land gets plowed for crops. Or they'll tear down the house, leave the machine shed, etc. or you'll see a large hog confinement building, a lot fo cornfield- but no house. Just the nature of Iowa farming- not what it was growing up in the 70's and 80's, or what my grampa and dad had before that being dairy farmers. I'm the first generation off the farm and in town. Just too expensive to get going at it. @@BellsFarming

What does the corn that get sold in store get used for? How much does each 50 lb bag usually cost?
@BellsFarming
@BellsFarming 9 ай бұрын
Most people use the corn to feed animals, occasionally people will also use it as fuel in a corn burning stove for heat.

@@markb.1259 hahah that makes sense! Well thanks for letting me know. I will let you know that safety is very important to me. And that I am the food safety coordinator on the farm. I know accidents can happen in any situation, following every safety standard or not. We genuinely do try to do things in a safe way. But you have to remember we are a family farm too :) I do appreciate the response. Sorry if I get touchy about safety. Just like you do! Haha have a great day!

Hello, my name is Peter and we farm in Prince Edward Island, in eastern Canada. When you leave Maine, drive across New Brunswick, cross the big bridge and you are in PEI. Yes, we often cut grain corn in December. We also grow sweet corn but we pick by hand and sell at a farm stand. We have beef cattle on our farm, but our friends and neighbors grow potatoes. We help out often, spending many hours on grading belts and baggers. I often drive windrowers or potato trucks. You have nice videos

@@BellsFarming Hello again. We farm with my son ( he is married, three kids, ages 6, 4, and 2) We buy small bull calves from dairy farmers at two days old and raise them right up to market weight at 1600 or 1700 pounds. We have about 300 head in the various stages of growth. The bigger steers eat a lot of corn, which we grow on our land. We do 25 acres of sweet corn, all picked by hand and sold at a farm stand. The cattle get the stalks. We also do barley, soybeans and forages. Your videos are excellent to show the non farming population all about how farms work.

I enjoy learning about potato farming, and all the different things your family does. I did happen to notice that the driveshaft on the auger is exposed. Please encourage the guys to get a cover on that . Any sweatshirt, hood strings, long hair, shirt sleeves, anything that comes in contact with that is going to wrap and that can be deadly. be safe! Love your channel.

Combining corn in the winter is quite common here on big farms it takes a while to get to all of it. Especially if it’s wet . Snow is fine as long as it’s standing. The combine we used was a big Krone combine with tracks in the front,so that helps . Looking good Molly.

@BellsFarming

That’s really a niche market. Conditions need to be perfect for brewing. We were approached in the past about it but declined because the return would not be better than our other crops.
