We Saved Our Worst Fields For Last...

Thank the Welker people for working hard to make food to feed America......Thanks guy's and GOD BLESS.... Old F-4 pilot Shoe🇺🇸

Colby makes me smile, when your dad assumes the position that dog knows just what to do & once mounted Colby stands proud on that Bud, it's just a beautiful thing to see. ❤️

[@samdahlandsonsforge]

Praying for you guys! I can't wait for the day that I hear you guys get a perfect season and the crop price blows through the roof!

[@asmrhead1560]

Row crop farmers call wheat "poverty grass" for a reason.

I use Battery Tenders on my equipment when they are going to sit for long periods. Cost a little money on the electric bill but it sure beats having to deal with dead batteries.

[@crazytrucker6689]

hear me out, what if the distilled water level is low?

[@williamburns9731]

A cupple of Solar Panels on roof above big buds .trickle feed ya batteries when not in use.

[@hubgold487]

Disconnect the neg battery terminal when things set for a while. They will not run down if tops are clean and they will last many times longer. The few minutes it takes is much cheaper than replacing multiple large batteries.

[@MrGerritStok]

Thank you so much for the harvest videos. It was a joy to watch them. I hope to see a little winterweat seeding. Blessings!

[@rvhome5599]

You guys are awesome, 4 years in a row of droughts and terrible crops and you are always cheerfull. One farmer we watch has a bad crop this year, just this year, all the years before bumper crops and he spend tons of money and now he cry’s on here about his bad crop. You guys make due with old maschinery, not fancy new once like this farmer, I tip my hat 🎩 for you guys, you are my hero’s

[@Descorath]

Now I'm curious which youtuber that is, none of the big ones I follow has been complaining _complaining_.. Ofcourse a comment now and then about wishing they had better crop pops up.

[@markosmond6430]

​@@DescorathMaybe he is talking about Brian's farming but I don't really watch many of his videos anymore. It's just a guess

[@jonmcfarmer6954]

You Tube saved your bacon, so to speak. Think about the farmers with no You Tube channel! 🤔

[@Varrig]

It always hurts to see yields that low. Insurance companies are never as generous as they want you to be. Looking forward to seeing the Big Buds out in the fields! Take care and God bless!

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Thank you! Always something good to watch, and learn :) I didn't know the big bud had a compressed air take-off port! That's really handy!

[@jaybiberstein9920]

You should put a hitch on the front of the side by side then you can push the headers in a lot easier.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another very nice video Welkers. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch for sure. Yeah-finished Harvest for 2024!!!!!! Seems like you just got started and now done and ready to start seeding again!!!!!!! Always feels good to get the headers and combines put away for the winter. Now you are getting your seeders out and getting them ready to go. Wow. Time for seeding already. Seems time just flys by. See Colby was get his ride in the tractor to start the seeding time. Machinery is always needing checking over and adjusting it seems. Just the way it goes. Same goes with the seeders. Takes a bit to get the seeders ready with all of their adjustments and such. Guess that is about it I guess. Done with harvest and now ready for seeding. And the year rolls on !!!!!!!!! My blessings to all of you. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊👋👍✅🙏💕🇺🇸

I use CTEK battery minders on my batteries. They work well at maintaining the batteries. I have no affiliation with CTEK.

When it comes to tractors, gotta have a good even number. One more Big Bud!!!!

[@dirtpoorfarms...7034]

Scott..... you have to get a Noco GB155. It's literally changed my life. Everyone that sees mine buys one. Spins an 855 like a top.

[@adler7-l7z]

Maybe those CRP acres will produce better next year. Overall, you guys had a good harvest and everyone is healthy. Lots to be thankful for. Best wishes from Austin!

[@TheBest-ob1kj]

Good to see and hear the big buds out again!!

[@runwillrobinson]

I have been praying for your prosperity for a long time. Keep running the good race brother.

[@NorwegianMechanic]

Allways be thankful to the Lord for all that he provides🙏 And lay the next years crop in His hands, God can multiply even if the crop is not the greatest❤ Good to see the Buds out of the shed for some work again. Blessings from Norway🇧🇻

Better start praying harder it's a drought

Too bad about the weather and field conditions, on the bright side Colby is such a cool dog...

I agree with Scott, U need a 4 series. It's time Bob make Travis a offer he can't refuse.

It is a great honor for the American people to produce the best agricultural products, I love you, may God bless you and your family and those who support you.

[@jimmclean160]

Great video guys I'm glad you're finished harvest and that you're on to getting ready to drill winter wheat !!! Hopefully 🙏for a really wet winter and lots of moisture for spring planting 2025

[@stuartroland9605]

Harvest is done,that last field sure was sad but every bit helps.Good luck with the planting this fall.🤩👍👍✌

[@davidshay4773]

It’s good to see the big buds again !!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

You mentioned that you have a field that is compacted and I know you guys generally are all (No Till) but when dealing with a field that you know is pretty heavily compacted do you guys ever do even just some shallow vertical ripping to try to loosen it up which will allow rain water and melting snow in the spring to go more easily down into the soil.

[@MarkThornton-dc9zw]

Farming in the early 80’s had a 1/4 of canola before Round Up ready. That looked good but didn’t fill a tandem. I know the feeling.

[@burtzorn4059]

Demco are a great grain trailer And EAST makes a great heavy duty dump trailer. for lime , stone and grain . I think they are the best. Just my opinion. TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE !!!!!

[@digger5858]

Great video guys, so happy that you guys finished up with your harvest of 2024, wish your numbers were better though. I will keep praying for you hopefully you will get some rain

[@davidberger4726]

On the 'AC' ----get some dry nitrogen and pressurize it with a little bit of freon and a safe amount of nitro. . There is a Max pressure for the system' Use leak detector to find leak. Compressor shaft is a common place for leaks.......

[@steveneal2706]

Awesome video guys. thank you so much

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

With just a bit of a boost Coby is up on the fender and in charge of a BigBud!

[@stevetheiss3112]

There is a big bud for sale in Lloydminster Alberta canada.about 9 hrs north of you

[@willyfindlay4398]

Hope you get a bumper crop next year . Good luck with the sowing of your winter crops.😊

[@davemartens3652]

there's a bud coming on auction in Canada in a few weeks . I think it was one of the later models, but don't know what series. check it out

[@dwjr5129]

Congrats on finishing harvest! I know it has to be a good feeling.

[@DeanLingleySr]

You need to put a Reese hitch on the front of that Canam. That would make it super easy to back 4 wheeled wagons in

[@SuperRobertwillis]

Sad to see the combines being put away for the winter fascinating bits of kit to watch.and also how many acres have you got on your farm 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤

[@alexanderhowie3570]

The tractor that leaks fuel back to tank why not fit electric fuel pump it really smartens up the starting of old equiptment use this method often with forestry equiptment works a treat saves on starters and batteries but also huge benefit at fillter change those electric pumps really chase the air out of system

1 bushels per acre? Holy crop slow down! You're overloading the combine! 😲😁😜

[@dalehanson7362]

Yes Scott, you guys do need a 4th Bud😊❤

[@donwestbury6251]

3 is an uneven number and that's why you need another Big Bud, hey, it works for me as a good reason.

[@Ham68229]

You need one of the "new" Big Bud's, specially the one you turned that pin for.

[@karriefalon7779]

Scott why would you plant winter wheat into such dry ground? or is it you need the seed to lay dormant and use the spring thaw to germinate? II know bit of farming lol haven farmed with dad and so on in me younger years. but never had nothin to do with winter wheat ect. last early fall I spent a week back home at a favorite lake. and went around visiting people ect. Lester was setting up to cut on dad's ground, It was so so so sad how tiny the Barley curnals were. I would guess it was about a 15 bushel to the acre crop. I was a very awesome day to be able to see the big ol combines at the old family farm once again, since it has been aproximentaly 30 years from when I left there. Monty told me his ground averaged 18 bushels to the acre, it is so way to dry any more, I prey for moisture for you farmers out there. We all need you all so very much and hope the best for you all hugs from karrie

[@texlongone]

Good video. Would have been great if you guys had had a good yield! Love seeing Kobe riding the platform on the Big Bud! Take care.😄

Don’t feel bad we have 140 acres of soybeans and be lucky to to get 2 semi loads off the field. And that pathetic I understand you’re frustration with that type of yield it’s not even break even 😂

You can never have enough Big Buds, Scott

[@WilliamQuisno]

Why plant winter wheat? Save the ground for peas or beans, something that will make more money than wheat??

[@MrDeutzer100]

Wouldn't you have planted about 3 or 4 bushels an acre? Then harvest 1! Wow!

We're about 1 bu of seed planting

[@SteveMichaels]

All I can say is some is better than none I suppose ... 4 is always better than 3

[@larrydavidson3402]

Nice to have harvest over. Just wish it would've been better.

[@VADogHunter]

Do you cultivate your CRP after the first year you bring it out?

[@WelkerFarms]

We've done it both ways, no toll and till the snot out of it. Basically rain makes it work and no rain makes it fail. We've done over 5,000 crp acres in the past 20 years.

[@jamesducey2685]

Your big tractors are the bestest!

[@grantmagnuson4883]

Do you store your air drills inside during the winter? Is there anything else you can store in the building with the headers?

[@joeyouruncle9850]

How many bushel an acre do you seed wheat at? Here we put 2- 2 1/2 that would be rough to not be makeing back your seed

[@niklaseriksson3343]

You guys should buy that 740 Bud you saw in California a few years ago. Would be really cool to see it out in the field pulling a seeder next to your 600 bud!

[@kmsbullet08]

Just curious. Are wells expensive there? I did a natural flow well for my home at 325’ for a few grand in Louisiana. Just curious if it would be worth it to install wells for water to increase yield? Or is water to deep there to justify it plus the amount of acreage you’d need to cover?
