Spilling Corn on the Go!

Back on Harvest 21! Everything's been perfect besides for some spilled Corn when unloading on the go- We got a tad bit off track when spence was trying to multitask.
So far yields have been very volatile with 90-bushel corn in downed corn areas and good spots that will hit 270. It's all over the board, just hoping the rest of the farm can do good! Looks like the average will fall around 185 ish.

To be honest as far as the compaction question, the cart operators usually try to avoid going down 1 path, but for the trucks that is a different story. Every few years I rip the headland the trucks sit on, but there is still a visible difference on the yield monitor. Basically try to do as little tillage as possible is the way I go about my business. Others may disagree, every farm and ranch location uses different techniques. Also, I wanted to say thank you for the good content, my dad told me about your channel and I have enjoyed watching someone so ambitious about agriculture.

[@KornstarKK]

I know guys that only try to go on one path. Would rather destroy 15 feet wide rather than partially destroy multiple areas. I try to stay to one path myself

[@brandonm6052]

This was a question on AG PHD one day with the Hefty Bros. I always tried to spread my compaction out also and not use the same path but they also suggested one set of tracks if possible to contain the compaction like Korey listed below

[@derekrief5479]

We farm in Iowa and run 2 1151 grain storm grain carts and we try to stay on the same path and try to limit paths to minimize compaction throughout the fields. We also rip 90% of our cornstalks too

[@redneckfarmingcorporation4116]

Yeah we do tons of heavy dirt rolling tillage. No till and minimal till still work just not as well. The stand isnt as good and yields suffer. We plow and disc rip everything

[@poorfarmer5612]

[@maplegrovefarms524]

Just a little tip, you explained how you work when your alone and how you shut off the combine. When you are running equipment, like a combine, at full rpm for a long time. Shutting it off stops the engine cooling and causes the temperature to continue to rise for a while until it loses the heat into the atmosphere. So I recommend leaving it at idle while you run to the elevator to help it cool down. Love the vids!!! Keep it up

Grant mapping the field and finding out your strong yield and low yield areas is number one priority. You will see where fertilizer is needed and where it’s not needed and also the type of fertilizer needed. Also you need a specialist to guide you with different types of corn seed to plant. They are well worth the money and time.

Just some advice we do it before and after harvest even hay season wash your equipment and use turtle wax it helps keep the dust from building up on the windows and equipment which helps clean it after a little more just some advice from one farmer to another

[@HeresMinx]

Hey Grant, i advise against putting any static mounted fuel tank inside of your building in case of an emergency. Either invest in a tank on wheels, or park a permanent tank outside of your buildings, prefferebly away from where you park your equipment. Leave a 6-10ft gap between the tank and your building. Good luck my friend

We typically just keep one path for where we keep gravity wagons and drive pickup trucks. It is not intentional, just how it goes because those are the best spots for parking, and driving pickup trucks over smashed stalks is better than standing stubble. Those paths aren't treated any differently in tillage.

[@rickk6447]

Hey Grant, I just noticed something. Keep in mind, I see a lot of different types of trauma from all walks of Life, various types of things. I pride myself in understand how accidents evolve/happen for several reasons. First is to give Great detail for ER Doctor's to understand what they're going to be dealing with, it helps explain trauma alerts and severity of injury/injuries of patients, and how many patients there are. Now days we have cell phones, but even they do no good if the patient/patients are unconscious. What worries me about this is I see a hydraulic jack with blocks of wood. What's missing though, is a safety mechanism for protecting you from the hydraulic jack malfunctioning, or slipping out from underneath as you use a bar to maneuver the wheel onto the studs. You can get the cheap jack stands almost anywhere for 30 to 50.00's for two. Farmings already inherently dangerous job, ranked up there as the most dangerous jobs around. When things go wrong, it's not a little bandaid type injury when it happens. Tractor rollovers, grain bin suffocation, electrocution, we have combine accidents and PTO's, auger accidents. In the old days people being run over from their own tractors, even kids being killed, these burns, environmental emergencies that people often forget about. Can you please get a couple of these stands for alll your protections? I do have another thing to mention, is there an email address I can send an email to you? I have an idea for you, I know your smart with computers and have that farming thing you've created. It doesn't have anything to do with the game, but something completely different. Let me know, I'd love to know what ya think about the idea, and maybe you and Spencer could help with the technology stuff. Thanks & God Bless, give an old guy like me some peace of mind and get the those two jack stands for your protection!lol

Next year grant for harvest your should get an older model 6r for the gravity wagons and run the 8110 on tillage.. love the videos can’t wait to see each one…also in tillage if your gonna till your corn ground do it vertically

[@echutch]

Use tram lines, or dedicated paths for those wagons for sure. If you had a cart with tracks you could use different lines and wouldn’t need as aggressive tillage. With the wagons just rip the path, and can go lighter on rest of the field. Using the same path with those wagons is the simplest way to minimize compaction for the whole field.

[@sethg.7158]

You guys should get a large frame 6r for the gravity wagons and run the 8110 on the tillage during the fall

[@TheLoneWolf-wu8lp]

Hey Grant! If you ever have to check to see if your yield sensors are working! Use keys on a keychain and rattle them lightly on the sensor pad. (This will more accurately represent beans or corn hitting the pads!) Don't use items like screwdrivers or even your fingers! It won't always read correctly!

[@brandonlindsey31]

We spread our tracks except where the grain cart loads corn witch is the same spot every year but every one dose it different you do you!

[@buroakridgehomestead5995]

Would be fun to hear what your future equipment plans are now with a full harvest under your belt. Seems like you could justify another tractor and two more wagons or a cart that can run back and forth to the tractor and wagons road side. Might be a dumb question, but can that 6.0 ford run a cart back and forth? Saves some road wear on the tractor tires...

If I’m going to run across a field several times going to one place I always try to stay in the same tracks, less stubble damage and the compaction is in one place. I don’t like running grain carts (or wagons in your case) or trucks in the field. I don’t want the added compaction that it creates. Just some advice from another first generation farmer that is not as lucky as you’ve been. Hope things continue to go in your favor!

[@somersfarm1921]

I'm not a huge tech guy, but being able to yield map when it comes to farming is extremely important and worth every penny and then some. Yes deer can do a lot of damage to yield, on both corn and soybeans. Some so called experts, will tell you to run on the same paths claiming the first pass causes the most compaction, than additional the ones, so your better off trying to follow the same path as much as possible, like with a loaded graincart going to unload. Personally I've never really bought into that theory, because we had a pathway we use to make thru a field behind our toolshed to the abandon railroad track behind our farm, and that path would be so compacted when we would plow it up in the fall. So I've always leaned towards not driving over the same path over and over. I'm not against no-till, it has its positives and negatives, but every so often ground needs deep fall tillage to break up compaction. More so with fields that have been compacted due to these large graincarts, especially in wet falls, where things got mudded up a bit. If the previous farmer farmed a lot of acres and ran a large graincart, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do some deep fall ripping. If your wanting to go the no-till route, get a inline ripper. You dont necessarily need to buy one, you could see about borrowing one to use. But you want to do it in dry conditions, to shatter that hard pan, or plow pan if the previous farmer did a lot of moldboard plowing over the years. But you don't want to do any ripping if its not dry, otherwise your doing no good, and even adding to the compaction. Some continuous no-till guys will just rip the end rows where compaction is the greatest, instead of doing the whole field. It all just depends what your seeing as far as compaction goes. You definitely don't need to do fall tillage every year by any means, especially since your not running a grain cart across the fields, but it would benefit you to ripped those fields since its your first year farming those fields if conditions are right for running a inline ripper. Then your getting a fresh start, ripping up any compaction there might be due to the previous farmer. I'm sure there will be some continuous no-tillers who will try to tell you, its a cardinal sin to do any tillage, lol, but I've been around farming my whole life, and I don't care what anyone says, ground needs ripped once in a while, unless its a farmer who has managed his farm for years, and was very picky about when conditions were just right to be in the field, which is very rare, now days due to how large most farms are, they don't always have the time to wait for the soil conditions to be just right to be out in the field. Earthworms can only do so much, they aint going to break up a highly compacted field in a few months over winter, lol.

[@aidanernsperger4817]

Compaction question: yes you always want a path so then you only have one strip that’s compact and not the whole field, when you have to unload the combine then that’s pretty much the only exemption

[@sleepybroadcasting3597]

Do not stop the unload auger full of beans or corn or anything. Good way for it to bend in half in the field.
