The Best Wheat Harvest Video on YouTube

The Best Wheat Harvest Video on KZbin
I recently spent a weekend in Colorado filming some 2021 winter wheat harvest for my KZbin channel. Here is one of the farms I filmed at. Poss Farms is a family farm operation near Hugo Colorado. In this video I explain the entire operation.

I’m elderly lady of 76 and this is a refreshing change to watch these videos in place of hustle & bustle of people arguing. I just happened to find this one day & now I’m watching all the time. 👏

If your studying farming, this mike is the best way to start, thank you Mike, thank you farmers god bless.

[@heathertooley23]

Love this video. Being a girly girl, many are shocked to learn I love combines. This video is impressive. Beautiful farm equipment!

[@robertlyon2926]

From a baker and a pasta maker, thanks everyone for what you do to feed us all. Farmers and Ranchers are the best

Beautiful field. First time I have ever seen a stripper head on a combine. I am a fan of red tractors. Thanks for the video.

[@farmhandmike]

Crops are looking pretty good around here and several of the places I've been. I know there is some drought areas in the country and some wet areas as well but I'm not an analyst.

[@bluefox2147]

you should come down here and see us cutting rice in arkansas! we run all versatile tractors.

Advancements in technology have made agricultural machinery smarter, from automation to data collection and analysis.😊❤

[@Titantech.1]

Very good video, I watch your videos one after another, it helps me relax after the fatigue of life, thank you

[@farmerswithoutborders]

I hope someday we will have these machineries.i didn't find a common platform for farmers from all over the world . I'm trying to connect all the farmers so we can guide each other .

[@jonimiller3747]

Got the right color on the combines you do a great job on all your videos

[@sarah_farm]

Such a fresh and organic harvest

[@thebigkahuna2753]

Big flat fields, just like we have here in Australia, and that sunset was amazing. Great Video, thanks for sharing.

[@robertreznik9330]

The Western Great Plains or High Plains is a special place. It starts SW of Lubbock and heads north past Denver. It is really a flat uplifted mountain top. The soil is mostly silty clay loam that was the dust bowl. Its origin is volcanic loess that makes it a very fine textured mineral rich productive soil. Mostly level north to south, the 3 to 5 thousand feet above sea level makes it a place where one can see the curvature of the earth. The more than thousand miles South to North is where the custom harvesters spend the summer for more than 80 years.

Now that is American Exceptionalism

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Inside the cab of those combines is impressively quiet. Also impressive is the accuracy of their cuts, given that the first guy into the crop is three header widths away from the last cut edge - obviously the sattelite guidance plays a big part in that. They can really race right along since they dont have to process the straw - should imagine they'd have a fair saving on fuel useage for the same reason ? I thought their leaving the straw stem intact in the ground was to prevent soil erosion ?

[@SlipShodBob]

Always nice to see a British company doing well especially when they had little success or demand for the headers here but I can see how well it fits some systems

[@robertlonsdale3826]

yes , the stripper headers seem to have so many advantages , particularly the fact that there is much less separation required ( much like a corn header) , higher harvesting output, I wonder what the disadvantages are?

[@SlipShodBob]

@@robertlonsdale3826 here a lot that tried them it was the losses, at the time they first came out the residue and either the loss of straw or another pass if you want to bale it plus it meant a second header rather than just running the reel for everything we can be rather tight when it comes to spending money here. I wonder sometimes if that is why little maize is grown here that is combined rather than chopped compared to other crops

[@javierdionisio8264]

Your videos are beautiful! Thanks, from Italy🇮🇹

[@aabb55777]

The bounty of a blessed land.

[@jimholty2274]

It must be yielding good they are keeping both carts busy. The stripper headers sure look to help with capacity, they are moving right along for class 7 combines. Another sweet video!

[@joshpitts7256]

That or them Red Combines actually put the Grain in the Tank... unlike Deere John

[@AceBaracuda]

These headers make it similar to a corn harvest you don’t deal with any extra material so it’s throughput is greatly enhanced.

[@BigSmiles214]

Nothing prettier than a field full of red power

Mike great video as always. Love the variety of machines and regions/ climates you show us. Keep up the great work. Appreciate the effort you put in.

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

[@chadtheartist5081]

Beginning of the video, "This area gets very little rain", and the end of the video features a thunderstorm in the backdrop. All joking aside, another good video Mike. I love them all.

[@codyludwig2811]

nice operation and great looking crop I love wheat its my favorite type of grain

[@jcvandermerwe9030]

Greetings from South Africa! Have been following you for the last few years. Thank you for the wonderful information about the tractors and implements. If possible, could you give a bit more detail and information (maybe footage too) about the implements for the main equipment. e.g. the ripper used with a tractor. Keep up the the good work.

[@casey5711]

Best wheat harvest video on the internet = yes. Combines gps ? Semi Tractor trailers , aprox bushels? Thanks for all your hard work. 😀👍🏾🚜🌽

[@garysoutham8746]

Hi Mike , I certainly love the music for your videos and the videos themselves. Something "mesmerizing watching these big machines doing what they do best. Lovely combines. My favorite is the Fendt but those Claas 7600's are amazing. Great videos and also greetings from Ontario , Canada . Oh yes i am also a subscriber to your videos. Keep 'em coming.

[@stevenwelch6678]

I know that at the 24:48 mark it looks like a wedge type tornado. I've seen this type cloud cover in other videos and I know that farmers and workers for farmers wouldn't be that mindless to do work like that in tornadic weather conditions. I love your videos, especially the corn silage ones. I'm crippled and don't get out very much so watching KZbin is what I do most of my day. YOU'RE AWESOME AND HAVE GREAT VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work.

[@tommybreen9677]

Absolutely awesome video Mike, miss doing the harvest. From Ireland

[@stevenreynolds8393]

Interesting contrast to Montana where, because of the sawfly, they cut the wheat down and leave it in swaths to dry-out. Then they harvest the swaths with combines and conveyer heads. I find it very interesting how the farmers vary the techniques for various conditions.

[@liftbig03]

Another awesome video! Thanks for the education on those different grain heads!!

[@Growplantss]

[@keithpowell2786]

Absolutely by far the best wheat Harvest video out there. You did a great job covering the combined grain carts and trucks and the sunset clips were awesome. GREAT JOB MIKE. I do have one question white type headers were they using? And are they just for small green or can they be used for soy beans?

You can’t see the curve... You can look at an ocean for thousands upon thousands of acres and no curve... But it does sound good!

Looks awesome

[@steinwaymodelb]

That looks like a really good crop for dry land wheat!

[@robertreznik9330]

Knowing how to farm on the Western Plains make for a good dryland crop.

[@Madswiss600]

Beautiful area!! Last time i been thru colorado was in 2010. Nice to see. God Bless u and ur family sir!! I like the in cab view . Hope if possible, u could do more of that especially during corn silage. If not possible well it is what it is. God bless🙌🙌🙏

[@greglester7666]

Great video Mike.

[@DG-ne8iq]

I don't think a combine equipped with stripper headers, can pick up everything on the East-Montana-West Dakota side this year. What would it look like in lentils ????

[@codyludwig2811]

ive heard about a lot of farmer who do snow trapping for moisture on their fields, Have you ever heard about snow rigging where Ive seen a couple farmers that made some attachment for their tractor and another one made em for their cultivator. Looks funny watching someone working in a field during the winter but when you need the moisture

[@stetsonpatton1026]

Great video mike

[@jimholbay5148]

Awesome Mike 👍

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

They fill those trailers up!!!! (but then, I do not see any dot around)

[@elamnissley4099]

Yes this this is interesting !! I pull a timte hopper. A hopper that full is heavy. Takes a good tractor to pull it around. Saw some slight ripples on the side of that Merritt hopper.

[@bettykremer1865]

Fantastic! Thanks!

[@sterlingspencer2934]

Really liked it never seen a stripper head. What they use here has a reel and they cut the stubble quite a bit shorter and they bail it and sell it.

[@robertdehring8471]

That is a very nice video how many bushels was grain cart and combine

[@barrybardo3249]

Another great video Mike and I've said this before and I know it's hard to tell by videos alone but it just seems like case-ih has the quietest cab

[@ChevyConQueso]

I've never been in a combine, and I was surprised how quiet it was. His breathing wasn't labored or anything but you could hear it over the machine. Crazy quiet.

[@JesseBrunner]

Stripper headers are a lot quieter than a conventional header, helps reduce cab noise quite a bit.

[@billbooth4147]

Nice

[@jbbrown7907]

I'd like to see the mechanics of how those heads work They never pick up the head at the end of a row!

[@herbhungwell8134]

Can they not get water to irrigate? Water table too deep?

[@0331bk]

Mike you need to head down to Northwest New Mexico to the Navajo Reservation, the tribe runs a pretty big farming operation near Farmington ,N.M.

[@robertreznik9330]

My wife's brother ran the potato farm for years. But had to go because he was not Navajo!

[@robpeters5204]

Another great video! How does the lead combine knows where to start so that the others can follow without leaving a sliver of wheat behind or overlapping already cut wheat?

[@JesseBrunner]

All the combines have GPS auto-steer with preset swath widths. All the lead combine has to do is skip over a couple swaths and start cutting.

[@AceBaracuda]

This method is easily the most efficient way of combining assuming the lead combine can make the swath it leads out on.
