The Boss Yelled At Me // Nighttime Corn Harvest 2024

[@1208bug]

Thanks Kurt for all you do for your family and viewers! 😊❤👍

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

Our farmers around here where busting tale to get the corn off before the storms come today. Even if he did yell, you would not have heard him in that cab. I think he'll be fixing that radio. Please stay safe, and God bless.

[@ralphcrisanto5315]

Seems like a lot of work our farmers due and just probably break even, but it’s something i would do even if that’s what happens. Thanks to all of our farmers for your service.

[@margaretbutler9528]

Hope you are enjoying this break from round trips to Kansas. Maybe you will be ready for those trucking trips when this harvest is done. Interesting to watch.

[@Retread2006]

I can hear Opie saying “ Gee Dad I’ll just stay home. I don’t like the corn dust and someone has to watch the ball in the backyard “ !

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@BroJerHWG]

There is a reason they call it a "Harvest Moon".... back in the day before electric lighting... farmers harvested as long into the night as they could see... by moonlight if able.🎉... getting the crops in is paramount to survival....both then and now.🎉

[@bryanbennett972]

I was almost afraid to watch when I saw that "The Boss Yelled At Me." I was afraid that you were in trouble at home!!! 🤣

[@Kawiboy]

Me too 🤣 The "Warden" immediately came to mind 😆😆

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I could see that as well

[@JR-lb4ng]

From one trucker to another, we got thick skin. If we are not getting yelled at, we are at the wrong place!

[@brucelamay8977]

Farming the feedlot is real cool stuff. You know Kurt , Lance may get you down helping out with the chores with the cattle. 😮

[@myronbedner989]

Enjoyed it very much great video

[@jimbates955]

Hey, if the radio goes out, use a Morse Code type system with the lights to communicate

[@Kawiboy]

It really is sweet out there Kurt.. Always impressed with your diversity my Friend 👏👊 Happy Halloween 🎃👻😉✌️

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Thanks! You too!

[@dashhoundlover2837]

HELLO KURT HEY MAN WE ALL BEEN THERE HOCKY HAPPENS! DUST YOUR FEET & KEEP MOVING THIS IS HOW WE LEARN 👍👍🙌 BE BLESSED & BE SAFE !

[@elijames3041]

Hay Kurt

[@scottlambert2949]

Jax and Opie are glad to see you

[@rogersawyer9265]

There was a guy when I was in the Marines.Sgt asked him why he became a Marine.He said ,my dad is a farmer and he used to work us from sunup to dark so when he put lights on the tractors to work at night that was the last straw.Then I decided to join up.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Lol, i could see it

[@thewatchmen4920]

Hey SCHIMDT. Looks like a radio check is needed sometimes. We knows that you are busy sometimes so even if you just point the 📹 out the windows is ok. Get some rest buddy. B SAFE 🚜💨💨💨💨

[@stevejoramo8013]

Maybe he could have just called you up on he cell phone.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Absolutely 0 cell service in the hills

[@maryrussell7298]

Farming with Schmidt!

[@AnitaGrinnell-x1f]

One of our guys was running long days.. Combine stopped in the middle of the field. Spot light came out.. Trying to figure out where he was. Pretty sure he had a lil nap by accident.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I could see it

[@bangphuongvlog]

In your country, farming is done with very modern machinery, but in my country, it is still mainly done by human power.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

It is definitely done in different ways throughout the world

[@Retread2006]

Just amazing ! What Farmers go through. Does Lance keep all of the silage and cracked corn for his cows or does he sell some of it ?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

It all stays for feed for his cattle

[@kellykonoske91]

Man, I'd be embarrassed if I was a farmer, and the inside of my tractor looked like that! HaHaHa!

[@calvinhakker5618]

What happened to you driving the flatbed back and forth to work? I miss that pickup

[@chuckychuck]

👍👍👍👍

[@Mike-y3q]

+ If it was a technical issue?! So ?! Once, a dispatcher messed up my radio just for the fun of it !!! It was the first time I discovered the type of creatures I moved to live among..🎃 !!

[@Hyrev1]

👍💯🇺🇸

[@CurtisKitto]

The line of blinking lights are a wind farm, right?

[@EmptyHandshake]

Yes

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Yup

[@jeffcarlson2309]

So I guess it doesn't matter which piece of equipment you and radios don't go together. 😅

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Basically

[@charleskuhn3110]

👍👌👊✌💪💪

[@Stump55]

Someone educate me. Where does "silage" fit in between wet corn harvest and dry corn harvest? Thanks.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Silage is the entire plant, wet corn is just the corn itself. It's just at a higher % of moisture so it will pack better

[@scottp.5161]

How many bushels does the combine hold?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

I think 500. We rarely let it get over 250 to 300 before we are chasing it down to empty out

[@scottp.5161]

@@truckingwithschmidt7120 Understood. Got to keep product going to the mill.

[@EricVanDorn]

German Invasion @ 12:20

[@motyenoham2949]

Would Opie ride in the equipment? What's the white frizzy stuff coming out from the rear of the harvester? Thx

[@EmptyHandshake]

Corn chaff. Which is stalks, leaves, corn cobs. It will turn to mulch eventually, useful for next year's crop.

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

No he wouldn't

[@bobmoroney3643]

How's your back doing with all the bouncing around in that tractor?

[@truckingwithschmidt7120]

Drugs are doing thier job.

[@Retread2006]

I don’t see how Farmers make it. Plowing, Planting, Harvesting. Machinery, fuel and manpower. I go to Rural King and buy a fifty pound bag of cracked corn for eleven bucks. The Company selling it to Rural King has to buy it from a farmer, bag it, ship it etc. where is there any profit ?

[@stevejoramo8013]

Dry Shelled corn is priced about 3.80 a bushel, so there is some profit, but if the farmer gets it, don't know.

[@sunnyray2048]

🍭SWEET🍭🙏🏼💖👍🏻🇺🇸🌞

[@tomhall7250]

Why don’t you load the truck on the way out of the field…if you did that it would be a farmer first! Trust me

[@monkjohn4833]

How much of his yield does he give to the poor?

[@Ed-lz4jv]

you need to show doggys happy playtime more

[@trapnut]

People are just learning about the long hours our farmers are putting in to feed us. And no one wants to work that hard.
