THE LAST FIELD STANDING! - CORN

[@rustylanier]

Ryan, I really enjoy watching your family operation. My Dad and I along with his nephew farmed together until the mid 80's quit due to the low grain prices. I get to continue farming through you and others here on You Tube. Thanks for taking the time to prepare these videos. They are my "farming fix." lol. Wishing you and your family a prosperous 2016. By the way I really like your work ethic and the Godly way you present yourself to the world. May God continue to bless you guys.

[@jbmbanter]

Well, Ryan, Travis and Dad thanks for making all of us this year. I might have started on your channel a little after the first of the year but since I have watched every one that you put up. I have to say that watching a family farming channel is gratifying because of the way that each of you get along and provide wholesome material that is suitable for any audience. Looking forward to 2016. Oh and Merry Christmas and I hope the new year is a prosperous one for you!

[@billwhitman1529]

Just want to take a minute and thank you and Travis for these great videos. I look for new postings each day and have always found them informative and entertaining. Hope you and your family have a prosperous New Year.

[@mrbilky]

I'm a city boy but your channel is the one I keep coming back to, great job and look forward to what's next!

[@dhmoperations8547]

Hey guys, Thank you for documenting your season for us!!! We look forward to more. God Speed and Happy New Year.

[@nialllally0]

I live in Ireland and whenever I watch your videos of you driving on the road you always have your 4 indicators (hazards) on. Love the videos and happy New year.

[@howardyounger5456]

Good job on the videos . Nice to see there is still family farms. When i was a young man like you our combine was an international 101 with a 12 foot grain head . On our best day ever we cut 10 acres of wheat. Our moniters where throw it in your mouth and if it was hard enough you cut. It was amazing when my dad bought his first john deere 95 combine .

[@boudreaumay3040]

Thank you Ryan and family for the video's they are for me a wonderful learning experience and entertaining. Keep safe and have a Happy,Healthy,Productive 2016 !

[@bluemtnsman]

"We ain't messing around now." I believe that was fairly accurate, if not an understatement. Happy New Year to each of you and your loved ones Ryan. Also, a huge thank you for the store as well as the interesting videos sir.

[@farminglegend2348]

great videos glad to see other farmers working hard. As always have a nice day

[@rodneyerdmann1545]

The night shot with the moon was awesome!!! Have a Happy New Year!

[@midnightimage69]

Congrats on your harvest. Enjoy your vids very much keep it up.

[@waterskiingfool]

Always good to get done for the season

[@canvids1]

I hope you had a great year money wise. I have enjoyed all your videos and many thanks for taking the time to show us what you do. Wayne Toronto Canada.

[@farmtoycollector998]

Hope you had a good season.

[@rayscott351]

I like all your videos on how the farm works nice job Ryan

[@GreenIronGarage]

Isn't it a good idea to minimize grain handling to increase the quality? By unloading from the combine into the grain cart into the wagons into the truck you are handling it a lot more than necessary when you could just unload from the combine to the grain cart and then to the truck or from the combine to the truck. Also what is the plan for the 8325? Unless you plan on getting a bigger planter or something it seems a bit overkill for your operation? Not trying to argue, just want to know what the thought process is?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+2011nm We handle it more so we can get it down the road faster. Otherwise the semi has to wait for the combine. We'll have larger implements for the 82 coming, but we had to buy the tractor before we can buy the implements.

[@GreenIronGarage]

How Farms Work That's what I figured on the 82. Thanks for the explanation!

[@lukestrawwalker]

Doesn't hurt feed grain... seed grain, on the other hand, yeah, you want to minimize handling, especially through regular augers which can scuff and crack the seed. Usually use belt conveyors to handle that stuff anyway. Later! OL J R :)

[@finpainter1]

wind cleans corn ,good wind

[@USSBB62]

+finpainter1 ; but it was down wind that the other bins location to ketch the chaff......

[@jeromemiller5262]

Can you do a comparison video for till vs no till, and did you too fertilize everything, how did that work vs application while planting? Penske rents the trucks, not sure if you can rent the trailers as well

[@snr_matt1002]

Wonderful information you gave!!!, and I love farming I wish I was to have the money to have machines and a farm, and I'm in WI as well!!!, I love your vids and wish I could meet you in real life I would be pleased, and as I watched a whole bunch of vids I was wondering if you moved to a different farm since I saw the vids of a farm with harvestores and a silo, then I watched the newer tour of the farm it was different, anyway keep up the wonderful info you give and filming, merry Christmas, and a happy new year!!!

[@jaredjohnston9549]

Thank U for the content you put out its good quality. Love it.

[@thevirginiafarmer7247]

what were the overall yields of the beans and the corn?

[@zilla2006able]

I can't wait to see more video for 2016.

[@tanner1075]

Where I live the elevators stay open until 10ish during harvest

[@jordanvinski3601]

so this being your no till field are you happy with it or no thinking about going to tillage for your fields next year on corn ryan? Thanks for finally getting this video up appreciate all your videos and happy holidays and new years to your family.

[@tonkapoplol]

we got some places 15.5tonnes per hectare (236 bushel per acre) here in Québec

[@brendanwinkler7138]

yesterday and today its 100% thunderstorms and Saturday serve warning of tornadoes in Dallas Texas and where I am McKinney Texas

[@raymondaston4796]

great video hope the season was good

[@mrnate4280]

Glad you are done. Will you wait to sell your profit corn until prices go up?

[@mph5896]

Am I missing something? Are you in Wisconsin? Why so long on getting everything harvested, any normal year and that field would have a foot of snow over it 1.5 months ago.

[@joshjohnson1189]

Hey I went to Platteville with you! I didnt know you did these videos... This is pretty cool man.

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Josh Johnson Nice, were you in my Ag classes?

[@joshjohnson1189]

+How Farms Work Yep was in some of agbusiness and one or two of mahoneys classes

[@richardbloomfield5836]

hey guys I'm just wondering if you are going to make a video of the red grain cart in the fields

[@jeffslaven6350]

We love you guys. Happy 2016 :)

[@bryang9095]

Nice yield on that corn Ryan what kind of corn was that?

[@tarefoot]

Happy New Year to you guys.....

[@claytonroorda6520]

Are you guys still combining or just a video from earlier this fall?

[@billhanahan3842]

I would like to know if you had a drought on this field, corn will cannibal itself to produce seed, I have seen it over and over in a drought field in Indiana.

[@muddysprings9746]

We finished our corn in October

[@Rikvdham]

Were did your accelerator pedal on the 8235r go?

[@justingermanovich]

+How Farms Work , what is the top speed of the John Deere 9510 when it's harvesting?

[@mikemercer8395]

good job on the video look forward to more information

[@heyerstandards]

11:00 is a great image

[@anglingnvirginia1346]

What is this corn product use for? Feed? Love the vids

[@larrysheriff8251]

Catching up

[@natehunlock3861]

thanks for the entertaining videos Ryan +howfarmswork

[@OneCincyFarmer66]

Looking forward to cattle

[@michiganfarming1955]

What were you getting for yields great video buy the way

[@WhiteoutIII]

how havent u harvested yet? it just seems late to harvest when it should be done in like november it seems late for december mostly if u live in wisconsin, i live in illinois. not to sound mean just wondering

[@PietschFarms]

Good video! When will your next live stream be??

[@joshschmidt1468]

I like your big John deer. What HP is it

[@USSBB62]

Did you ever explain "Corn Fodder Bales" ?

[@rafaelgoris5274]

I think you should buy a tractor trailer. I know none of you have a class A license to drive it, but you could hire volunteers during harvest time while one of you get a class A. For what you do a KW T-800 day cab will look good on your farm and must important will get the job done.

[@awd3264]

+Rafael Goris They don't need a CDL if they stay within 100 (wops, actually 150) miles of the farm producing the crop. comment edited

[@rafaelgoris5274]

+awd3264 I disagree with you, because they will travel on public roads. What they won't need is a medical card because it's not require unless traveling out of state.

[@benjammin4456]

+Rafael Goris i think it depends on the state

[@awd3264]

Tim_Toolman True. Didn't want get very deep into the rules. Believe they had mentioned delivering grain to Iowa. That may require a CDL. The laws are set up to exempt farmers from many of the over-the-road laws that apply to truckers.

[@beartechdeck]

+awd3264 You don't need a CDL if it's your vehicle. I don't think you do. That's what I heard.

[@beartechdeck]

Your welcome :) I just got a How Farms Work shirt for Christmas. How can you be disking? Isn't there frost in the ground?

[@farmallskittle]

+beartechdeck it is a previously recorded video that was just uploaded

[@HerroRya]

+beartechdeck It's a little warm right now to have frost first off and second it was a previously recorded video

[@justinfrederick3648]

great video!

[@rodneyperry2490]

How many bushel of corn in that field.

[@Embracedw]

How many acres do you have?

[@PeterE89]

what fruit types do you farm, beside corn and soybeans?

[@xXCoolishbeanzXx]

corn and soybeans, it's the Midwest what do you expect wheat?

[@PeterE89]

+CoolishBeanz you may recognize I am from europe, so I am not that familiar what fruits you grow on your farm and where you are located in the states... at our farm (austria) we grow wheat, barley, sugerbeets, canola, corn and sometimes or only on small fields: caraway, poppy and vegetables

[@xXCoolishbeanzXx]

+Peter E. I wish farming here in the Midwest was more diversified but there's no markets here especially in North East, Iowa (clayton county) pretty much same area aesthetics as Ryan's farm, but sadly here it's just corn and soybeans

[@PeterE89]

+CoolishBeanz yeah an i wish our farm (its the farm of my uncle) is as big as yours :-)

[@xXCoolishbeanzXx]

+Peter E. our farm is approximately 400 of just my parents but my brother runs nearly 870 acres, I bet it's a little more hilly here also hehe

[@thedrisker1954]

Do u guys own any case ih

[@dechellethompson8985]

You need some Newhollands they are cheaper when you buy them and cheaper to maintain

[@linkolnbarringer4528]

I want to be a farmer when I grow up

[@joshuaanthony3781]

How far away to where you deliver the corn..??..If you only had 1 semi, Even if it were yours, wouldn't it set you back with downtime only being able to deliver one load at a time??.. Now you're able to order as many trucks as you need now to get what corn you need to get out..??

[@HowFarmsWork]

Usually we only work with one truck at a time anyway, hence the waiting game we play in this video.

[@joshuaanthony3781]

+How Farms Work ...Yeah I seen that, but I also seen at least 2 different trucks... So, that's why I asked...

[@kentuckyfarmer1129]

If you had a semi and bigger grain cart you be in business

[@2510jd]

250 to 300 bpa on the monitor.. I'd say time to recalibrate.. Lol

[@jankojankic3006]

Can someone pls tell me why don't they use a real plow like in other countrys?? plss answer somebody

[@robertreznik9330]

+Janko Jankic Water and wind erosion happen more when the field is clean tilled. No till or reduced till uses low tractor power and saves man power and fuel. In Texas, We have high clay soils so the residue allows for retention of water. Also the soil is cooler from residue but we plant later in May when 65F soil is warmer; then we get very uniform stand and take advantage of longer cool nights in August and September.

[@lukestrawwalker]

It's pretty common to use chisel plows in the US, though this varies by region. Moldboard plows that invert the entire soil profile and bury all the residue have generally fallen out of favor in the US. Disks are used to break up the soil some and cut up the residue, and chisel plowing down to about the same depth as a moldboard breaks up the soil deeper without creating the kind of "plow pan" you get from a moldboard or burying as much residue needed to minimize erosion and add organic matter to the soil. When we row cropped in Texas, we farmed on 40 inch raised beds. We didn't use a moldboard plow, but we did plow with a middlebuster, which is a plow with wide bottoms similar to a moldboard, but it throws soil to BOTH sides of the point. The next buster bottom is 40 inches to either side, so the soil thrown to both sides of the buster bottoms piles up to form the bed. The area between the buster bottoms is not broken up. Then we used disk bedders (also called "hippers") to build up the beds after they settled down during the winter in preparation for spring planting, and to break the soil up further. Many areas in the US farm on flat fields, meaning no raised beds, so the chisel plow is ideal for those situations. No till is also very popular and reduces fuel and equipment costs, leaves the residue and soil structure intact, and has some other advantages (as well as some disadvantages) and so of course they have NO use for a moldboard plow, like what is commonly used in Europe. Later! OL J R :)

[@andrewmiller2459]

I saw a guy harvesting and he was unloading on the go and the corn was hitting the pole that goes across the top of to trailer and he was losing lots of corn

[@lukestrawwalker]

Not watching what he was doing... OL J R :)

[@jankojankic3006]

Why don't use a real plow instead of chisel plowing that you use?? Can somebody answer me btw awesome video and the channel ;)

[@callysiperly4599]

why dont you have your own semi

[@danielm7794]

before i got to see the vid a case ih ad started

[@8216justin]

why don't you unload on the go

[@aaron56426]

Dude you need a bigger header thats why it takes you so long the farm near me have 12 row cornheadsand they get it done in a day and its like 45 Acres lol takes tou so long

[@acrousonelos]

+aaron hendron They have such hilly ground a wider corn head isnt practical. Also, they finished a while ago. The upload schedule is staggered

[@lukestrawwalker]

bigger cornhead= then need bigger combine. Bigger combine= then need bigger auger cart. Bigger auger cart= then need bigger/more wagons, a semi, etc. So long as the work's getting done in a timely manner, that's the main thing. They can upgrade when they can afford it and HAVE to... lots of guys hurting or going broke who thought they needed the biggest/best of everything when corn was $7 and now that it's $3 and time to pay for it they're in bad shape. Later! OL J R :)

[@yohnny8839]

Are you guys hiring

[@colegalyon352]

Do more plowing and disk ing videos

[@ivarbergheim3485]

why do you americans run small twin tiers on your tractors, why dont you run single wide tiers?

[@stevenmanning4237]

traction

[@ericfields5194]

compaction reasons.

[@WadehogmanaicHarrison]

+trollfox PB the small tires provides the traction needed but doesnt compact the soil as the big wide heavy tires

[@acrousonelos]

+trollfox PB Its set up like that so a row can go in between the tires. We call them Row Crop Duals

[@ivarbergheim3485]

thanks imdafarmer gamerboy that makes sense, we dont grow corn up in norway, we like to run 650 wides up front and 800 back on our valtra t172 for flotation on soft/wet soil so that we don ruin our grass crops howerver we like to run 250 front 300 back on our massey ferguson 3060 2wd for spraying and potato harvesting. i do not agree with traction pros for slim tiers tough, too little surface area. allso i will allso disagree with soil compaction cons on the wider tiers as of they float much better, www.michelinag.com/ explains that very well
