Farmer on the Prairie is about my life on our central Illinois farm. My name is Seth and I am a young farmer with the desire to get things done and to keep the farm running smoothly. The farm is 740 row crop acres and 100 acres of pasture. We run about 100 grass-fed cattle and 1500 meat birds a year. Throughout my videos, you will get to know Dad, MommaD, and Sister. My brothers Josiah and Luke help us whenever there is a big project so they can feel important. Because so many different things happen on our farm, there is never a dull moment.

Good one, thanks

My old buddy kept his combine from leaking with license plates and lathing screws. He is in Florida right now enjoying his annual winter retirement migration so I'd say it worked just fine.

I used to grow white corn for white grits for a mill, pioneer used to have a great non-gmo variety that really yielded. It’s really really really hard to keep the yellow out from neighbors corn that’s a good mile away. One thing I did was made kernel quality & integrity the priority & didn’t worry about clean samples & I cleaned it up later with a cleaner. I dried it with a recirculating batch dryer which further cleaned it up, mill always said I had the best quality. When Covid hit the restaurants closed & the market disappeared & they ceased offering contracts. White is a pita but I loved growing the stuff

Lads, have you got LED lights on the cab of the 2588? They match the original halogens very well

[@ssmith1931]

👍👍

[@francislahey7981]

I'm curious. Have you ever been to Boston? Or there about? in the area?

[@BWYinYang]

1st time seeing white corn being harvested.

[@dhenschel4]

Great you got the organic corn going already, I thought we were waiting another year for that to start. And you have a smooth running machine there, everything working well and going smoothly.

[@sunroofracing]

Hope you've had yourselves a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! Congratulations on getting your white corn started. Best wishes on your upcoming changes! Thanks for the video Seth!

[@ralphf1383]

another good video. Hope the corn makes the grade. will give you a better idea of how things will have to go in the future. Oh yeah, glad to see a nice looking beard scruff, I like the way it makes you look. thanks for taking us along with you on the change over.

Have you considered food grade blue corn? No idea if the yield is less, but it is more expensive to buy.

[@farmerontheprairie]

Yes there was a bit more premium, but too risky with the yield hit.

I am glad to hear your response. The BS on the web today is disturbing, inflamatory and inaccurate. You seem like s great guy as an individual and a good family. What have you done with your dog breeding enterprise and How is your friend Ben. You guy were such co-operative buddies, Seems a shame you don't work together. Glad to see you had a good harvest. I guess for farmers, that is pay-off time. It is a shame on the face of the food supply brokers that farmers are treated so shabily. Can't you guys go direct and cut the agents out?

why don't you get bigger wagons

Feeding the Al-gore-rhythm

[@organbuilder272]

I wonder that you would allow such advertisements on your channel. It overshadows t he real purpose of your farm work.

[@timothyshepodd7826]

I do not think they get a choice about the adds - like the oat-milk adds on the dairy farmer’s videos. Blessings!

KZbin actually selects ads based on your Google search history. I have nothing to do with the ads on my videos.
