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.

Thanks for the video Ryan. Great drone footage as always

Great Video Ryan, That spreader is an impressive piece of kit, thanks for sharing

@@tonymckeage1028 "Piece of kit", I love that term, and can tell where you are from! 👍👍👍👍👍All good, my friend! ♥️

[@brittblanton8342]

Thanks for the update Ryan great video and awesome drone footage 👍

[@billwieland8497]

Thanks Ryan!

[@clinthochrein888]

That is very interesting seeing the urea land an interacting with the soil .

[@davidschaefer5293]

Holy crap, if I were driving that truck there would be a lot of trampeled corn! Great video.

[@SimonKL11]

That's a nice spreader👍😉 hopefully the corn will utilize the urea so you will get a good yield this fall😁👍

[@patkelly7999]

Great stuff Ryan, it all takes money to keep the show on the road👌👍🙏😎

[@felixzapata9058]

Well, Ryan....here's to getting a drone of your own.....I love the sound of that!...and a camera airborne while spreading can make for some interesting footage!!!...thanx~!

[@ianhaggart1438]

Well that's the first time iv heard that..... Let's hop in the drone...😅.. mind you might not be far of in future 😉.. cracking vid work as usual.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another great video sure always cool to see

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@jddriver9565]

Thanks for this video.:)

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! Would've been nice to see an after video seeing the change in the corn 🌽

[@timmarker9258]

In the monitor you can set turn on and offs and have to keep the same speed exiting and entering. Just takes a few rounds to set with 2 people

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@matmoser5563]

With my precision planting setup, I can adjust the start and stop planting to get rid of that gap which I had to do this spring as well. I'm sure ag leader has something similar

[@JordanSchneider-sf1zk]

Yee haw, it's time for urea!

[@daleley7645]

I've noticed huge differences in corn in the same field in many areas, beans look more uniform.

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

Is anhydrous available in your area

[@Sword-Shield]

Keep them 🌽 🍿 corn cobs coming...love me some fretoes corn chips wit me samich😂

[@aaronisaak8071]

Don't think field corn makes corn chips

[@Sword-Shield]

​@@aaronisaak8071Awe Shucks 🌽 😂

[@Steve-tf5pg]

You need to date your videos it's August my silks are brown

[@FiddleMaker63]

First thing look at your planting map and see if it on the start or at the end of the row. Adjust setting and dig next year. Technology is great when it works perfectly. 😂

[@jw8292]

Do keep in mind there is a small bit of travel time between the meter and the furrow.

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Ryan It looks like a lawn spreader For fertilizer Except it's BIG.

[@wagon9082]

Good video

[@lewisgeyer1440]

Farming a "crap shoot"? Who knew? ;-) Very informative, thank you.

[@danbingen4708]

The solar farm looks like it will produce a high yielding crop of watts this fall!!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Not if it's cloudy... Or dark for 14 hours in December... 😂👍

[@Ghettocowboy33]

Would you build an actual side dress rig?

[@Daveco82]

the solar farm is fugly!

[@stevehillman2658]

Love your videos as a farmer. Too, why aint you guys using Y drops and have the nutrients right against the corn like we all do down here in Illinois?

[@nathanmorton4080]

Yes. Can't beat banding with y drop, if your guna do it you might as well do it right 😉

[@andytuck13]

This was first pass nitrogen application. It was too wet to put UAN down so urea was used instead as to not burn the corn. This is not a substitute for Y drops.

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

@@nathanmorton4080 anhydrous is the can’t beat nitrogen

[@CalebPrenger]

How many units of nitrogen did topdress?

[@PrestigeWorldWidePWW]

300

[@charlesbennett6242]

Operator error, lol 😅

[@muttgusse]

urea= adblue = extra expenses

[@robertreznik9330]

225 bu/ac corn takes over 200 lbs. of N more to finish. Seeing that much yellowing means you need much more from somewhere!

[@andytuck13]

We’ve seen 300 bushel corn from 100 units applied N. All about management

[@andytuck13]

Saturated soils creates a different scenario. 10” over average rainfall from planting to V4 makes for some challenging management decisions.

[@robertreznik9330]

@@andytuck13 AgPhD has good apt says 336 removal. It has to come from some source. What is a unit? In college it was mostly grams or sometimes lbs.

[@peteparker7396]

Speed has nothing to do with row shut offs. Your measurement are off in the settings. You should be able to adjust it easy enough. You do that before you go wide open. All you gotta do is check the seed placement.

[@andytuck13]

Actually it is an aspect of speed. The faster you go the more you need to adjust the look ahead settings.

[@pascalhumphrey]

If there is that much compaction, why dont ya'll plow every few years to break it up? I'm not a farmer.

[@PrestigeWorldWidePWW]

BeCaUsE nO tIlL

[@nikphoenix]

Because using a sub soil zone builder works better than plowing. Plowing destroys top soil by causing run off.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Moldboard plowing disturbs the soil structure and can leave a hardpan below. It has its place in some applications, but isn't the best tool for everything.

[@jeffreyhouston2043]

They farm different up north, let's just leave it at that.

[@pascalhumphrey]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj what would be the solution then
