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.

We congratulate you, you are introducing us to the village and country life in a pure and clear way, with a nice level of sincerity.thank you

[@claytonmieras5881]

I think the farm will be getting bigger within the next 5-10 years ryan and his family have worked so hard to get where they are today and I couldn’t be happier watching a new how farms work video! Thank you ryan!

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Farming is very competitive now days. You have to grow or you’ll lose out to others. Just the nature of farming nowadays.

[@jamesbainton]

It is amazing how easily the new combine transitioned into the fleet - it showed up ready to work and didn't seem to have many issues at all...

[@bigredgreg1]

I’ve been thinking the same thing about the new combine. I see others having difficulties with their new combines getting all the various adjustments right, especially transitioning between corn and beans.

[@SimonKL11]

The 9770 really moves along in that corn👍😁 the big brent was a big help to keep everything going😉👍 Glad to hear that harvest is done👍 Awesome video again👍👍

[@docphillips5153]

Thanks for taking us along again this season. More people should watch your channel. See what it takes to put bread on the table. Happy Thanksgiving and a safe, happy holiday season.

[@alanl.simmons9726]

Ryan, Hannah, Red & kin, Thank for helping to feed the world.

[@highkicker11]

now this is a comment i can get behind. not a lot of folks see farmers like the heroes they are.

[@coletaylor6078]

The 9770 looks so majestic unloading into the 8235

[@gail8494]

Glad you had a good harvest! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Hannah, and your family. Thanks you for making such wonderful videos this year and taking us along for the ride!

[@allenwilliams267]

I really like your family togetherness..

[@daleley7645]

The combine is a game changer. It helped this year, but going forward it should help immensely. Have a good one.

[@drbrickner]

Love to see your contours. They always represent responsible farmers as well as being beautiful to look at.

[@tokencivilian8507]

"...we'll burn that bridge when we come to it." Classic humor Ryan. Hopefully those fertilizer prices moderate before you and the rest of the farmers need to pony up for them. Another fine video. And congratulations on a successful 2021 harvest and year. May you and your whole family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@kerutha9958]

Thank you Ryan for sharing your day to day work and let us peek into the farming business. I enjoy it very much and Im looking forward for the new plant/seed and harvest cycles to come. Another harvest in the pocket 🚜💪

[@petergielen5905]

Thx for sharing all those video's, Greetings from Belgium

[@rick4020]

You guys are growing fast. Hopefully not too fast gotta make the payments. Good luck in 2022!

[@acomputernerd]

Thanks you for the video love to see the setup in action! Hope you and yours have a wonderful thanksgiving! Thanks again!

[@mattphillips4260]

happy for you and the farm got done getting yalls crop off and that you guys was able to upgrade your combine

[@jasonmehringer2296]

If you had a 13 row corn head then you wouldn’t of gotten the row of shame😂😊

[@patkelly7999]

Great stuff Ryan, glad to see Ye have harvest done, really glad the new combine has made the job that little bit easier:):)

[@waterskiingfool]

Looks like it went fast with the new combine. Happy Thanksgiving Kuster family

[@jansky7063]

Great view again, it always give me a little bit of a holiday feeling

[@rromero1318]

Those machines are awesome and very entertaining video, very good quality

[@chesterraybon3442]

Glad yields were there for you guys. Great footage and great video. Want to wish you and all your families a Happy Thanksgiving. Take care.

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey Ryan thanks for another great video, glad you guys are done with harvest and had a good year. I hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving take care 👍

[@kevins5092]

Afternoon. It’s nice that you can unload on the go now and not have to worry about clearance

[@kenzodrow9604]

very few videos i watch get a thumbs up before i watch them but this one does thanks for being down to earth

[@mathewstephens3192]

Great video. Hope you are having a profitable year.

[@dalehammonds9494]

Love watching your videos I've learned a lot from you guys if I get back into farming

[@marknewman5847]

Really sharp looking combine congrats on being done Happy Thanksgiving, now you got time to start planning for that wedding

[@traderjoes8725]

@8:01 I am still amazed by the shot tower. Thanks to Ryan's history lesson.

[@marklarson7637]

Ryan- you do a great job. Love the drone footage!

[@athumblessman]

Glad to hear that it was a profitable year for you this year, despite the downed corn. I agree with your statement though, that grain cart definitely played a major role in finishing harvest this year, especially with the addition of the 9770 - I doubt the word "fun" would have been used to describe trying to keep up to the 9770 with the smaller red brent of your's and the old green cart. Hoping to see that 1396 back on the farm again next year! Thanks for video! And as always, keep up the great work!

[@michaelc9128]

Happy Thanksgiving To you and your family including rocket.. 🐕. Keep making great videos

I hope you had a good one Steve!

Yes I did thank you I hope you all did too

[@Blackwellll3066]

The one thing I'm liking is the possible purchase that might happen in the future Iike bale wrapper, a dual auger grain cart, maybe a new semi truck ect

[@jimmycurran5355]

Awesome video.

[@RobS49120]

Shot tower! My niece got married across from there this summer

[@ArmpitStudios]

Friggin’ loved the footage. You could pick up extra cash during the Winter doing pro videos for musicians and farm products. 🙂

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@drewwilke1733]

Sure is a pretty combine

[@parlainthtownie85]

Well done.

@@HowFarmsWork yes! Ate way to much

[@pstrass6353]

That Deere combine sure seemed to have many less issues than other brands on other channels

[@HowFarmsWork]

*throws a wrench into the rotor* oh no! Video content!

[@waynejones5239]

Nice video

[@tracyeaves1084]

I hope y’all have a great thanksgiving day and I hope next year will be blessing for y’all and the farm and I ask in the name of Jesus Christ amen

[@tommathews3964]

Best drone footage in the biz! Really glad y'all got the combine!

[@johnperry5102]

like the video a lot great drone footage, also like the songs in the background, who are they there great

[@davidmcgee4525]

From another view, the corn needs to be crushed to get the nutrients to the animals. Uncrushed it mostly passes straight through. Just a thought.

[@eddeetz493]

I hope an electric hopper manufacturer hooks you up on both trucks. Save the future chiropractic visits. Also I bet Hanna would be a great driver. Heck, even Travis might run some loads pain free. Great job and keep on growing.

[@highkicker11]

just love the gold harvest, i get why you are worried Ryan for next year. because its has been a good harvest that means prices will go down again for produce. lets hope the market fools don't over do it. also you mentioned that you are looking to replace the truck and trailer, why not just for next year get a new trailer to park while you drive the first load to the elevator. that way they can load that trailer and you can pick it up the moment you return from the elevator and park the first one

[@CurrentChoices]

Another one in the books!! Congratulations!! 8:02 stone structure is??

[@hturbo1007]

The stone structure is the shot tower in downtown Dubuque. It was used many many years ago and it was used for ( you guessed it) making lead shot.

[@jamesfl1968]

Hay Ryan love the channel, have a warm spot in my hart for farms; back bone of the world. What upgrade would be the One best Upgrade for your families farm, no matter the cost. Thank You for all you do.

[@lbiesek]

Looks fast but in Brazil, where we harvest around 550 buschels per hectare, that speed wouldn't be possible. Nice video. :)

[@shawnclark7051]

Congratulations again on the new combine a little advice on turning the truck down those small roads if you pull a little bit past the drive then back up almost jack knife and pull down the road it helps a lot from a driver's point of view not telling how to drive just a suggestion happy Thanksgiving to all

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks!

[@farmallskittle]

Have you changed the roller bearings for the traps

[@made_in_home]

Interesting

[@merik6386]

Would it be possible to use an battery operated impact wrench to open the doors?

[@jasonkotara2135]

How do you get the FREE OPTION on a new grain cart? I'm sure I would also love ❤ it also!

[@nikphoenix]

Truck is lighter, because of single wall or C-channel frame vs double tube frame which is better for heavy loads.

[@charleslynch7274]

Congrats on getting harvest done im sure that's a load off ur mind and glad u were able to make a profit 📈

[@richardmatthews3304]

Ryan do you feed whole maize or mill it, sure I saw you using a gehl mill mixer last year.but that feed made a whole maize rattle going on the feed trough, sorry we call corn maize 😃 in UK,

[@ollie-lk5dx]

12 row verses 6 row your only turning around half the time while harvesting twice the acres. I'm thinking the catrs and combine are all full before you get back to the field . You might have to hire a few loads hauled to keep the combine moving.

[@ballardgriswold7994]

now that you have a much bigger combine and grain cart, will you guys upgrade to more acres next year?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Already picked up another 100!

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

10 ft spread axles on the trailer would allow 40,000 on the rear and make it easier to balance the load.

[@jameskubik4193]

Hi ryan, would you be able to put a camera at the end of the combine auger to see how full the grain carts and big red are getting

[@HowFarmsWork]

I think we intend to put one on the end of the auger

[@codyflenthrope2388]

If you can have you tried to slide the fifth wheel to get axle weights where you can fit more?

[@HowFarmsWork]

It's as far forward as I'm comfortable with for turns

[@banjobenson9348]

Good going , that 12 row chews it right up , wow that cart can unload like a monster. Some one needs to invent a better door on those hoppers. ,, where are the engineers , what about Mae west and gang ?

[@JS-uq2id]

How many hours on the combine?

[@hellboy31376]

Put silicone spray on a rag and go around the seal twice a month and it will stop doing that okay

[@Daveco82]

what is the purpose of the bubbler auger?

[@brianrutherford3681]

Congrats on being done.how was the yield across all the ground your family has?corn and beans.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Corn average was at least 210. Beans average was at least 60

[@brianrutherford3681]

Very nice congrats on the great yields.

[@danielscholl7116]

At the facility where you unload the corn, what is the brick tower with all the windows for??

[@HowFarmsWork]

That was a shot tower for cooling hot lead into bullets. Was never used full time.

[@nwpioneer2551]

IS IT A FREIGHTLINER? I WORKEED IN ENGINEERING THERE AND THEY ARE KNOWN FOR LIGHT WEIGHT FOR BULK HAULERS

[@johnnydale6515]

Ryan why are you not grinding the corn a little to improve take up by the cows ?

[@HowFarmsWork]

I have no way to grind it. It will be ground once I get them on the creep feeder

[@noahlichti4152]

Do you think you’ll buy a grain cart like the one you are demoing now for next year

[@HowFarmsWork]

If our deal with Unverferth ends, which is just a revolving yearly basis, we'll likely look into it. I'd love a cart like this one.

[@craigflatley7370]

👍

[@taco44051]

Non-farmer here..how did the wind damage affect your bottom line this season?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Definitely hurt. I lost 40 bushels an acre in the downed stuff. Insurance paid just enough to cover the premium.

[@jeremywheelock3988]

Hey Ryan, thank you for putting in the work to make the videos - always great content. Just checking- around the 8:04 minute mark you’re showing the undercarriage of the truck and it looks like the brake canister on the right hand side has a crack in it, hopefully it’s just rust flaking. But that’s an Out of Service if you were to be inspected.

[@HowFarmsWork]

It's just paint flaking off!

[@huskerboy3471]

Hi

[@mcleanfarmsryan3897]

Ryan is there a benefit to whole corn feeding your cattle and why not grind it with the grinder mixer

[@HowFarmsWork]

I don’t have a way to grind it. When I use the creep feeder it’ll be ground. No point in going through the hassle of grinding it when it’s fed by bucket

[@mcleanfarmsryan3897]

@@HowFarmsWork ahh okay

[@firstname6208]

A rollermill is best, just cracking each kernel. Mixing it with forage makes it easier on cattles stomaches. Yes, they have 4 stomaches.

How many loads can you take on an average day?

[@HowFarmsWork]

5-6 depending how long they’re open
