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.

Hi ryan

[@Badbar_trucking]

Your videos have been a big part of my life. I have been struggling dearly with my mind and what way I want to go, about my life. Your videos have been a huge relief when I need to take a break from life. Even tho it’s just farming videos it’s something about your videos that make my dam day. Thanks for the content man.

I’m glad our videos can help you relax at the end of a hard day! Thanks for watching!

Loved the video. Thank you for showing us non farmers how a farm works. Without farmers, we couldn't eat. Be thankful we have people like your family farming to feed us all.

Your cinematography is incredible.

[@jacksak]

60 years ago I was doing haying on our New Hampshire dairy farm. Being young at the time I loved the work, especially after coming down from packing a dusty, dirty hayloft in the evening to get a 16 ounce can of Budweiser beer. WOW, that was the best tasting beer ever after that kind of work.

[@tlinscore]

As a kid I would have watched this for hours.. Now I'm 60 with Parkinson's I found this and have glued to it. Was raised in east Tennessee now i n North little rock Arkansas. God bless our farmers

[@michaelwagoner5512]

That was an amazing view of both tractors running side by side bailing

[@danaandrus4946]

Hi Ryan, It is great watching you and Travis make hay. It has been 55 years since I worked on hay with small bales and hand sacking on trailers! You make it look easy. You make more hay in 4 hours than we did in 10 days. Innovation in equipment has sure cut back on the manual end. Love the videos. Stay safe and godspeed.

[@roberthakeman9822]

Been watching your videos Ryan since you started they are all great videoes but the best one of all is when you proposed. You can tell it's haying season as someone has cranked up the heat to 100 Stay cool !

[@kevinkuster5255]

When I was growing up my mom used to say “ it’s hotter than billy blue blazes”. I never figured out what that meant. But I knew it meant we were going to be baling hay. All small squares back then. Lol

[@gerryoconnor8751]

Hey Ryan you can add a roller in the top to the gate of the 569 the help keep the belts tight while dumping. It's an auxiliary take-up roller.

All the hard work on that field has paid off. Travis should be so very happy . Good stuff stay safe

[@mtgamer19]

Have you guys ever consider demoing or looking into a bale accumaltor sonne farms demoed one last year and it saves alot of time collecting bales

[@HowFarmsWork]

Have looked into it, I'd be worried about it ramming into the ground on the hills.

[@bessey-hn5vt]

👆👆👆📲..

[@jamesjohnson5640]

Ryan, have you and Travis talked about getting bale 2 or 3 bale accumlators for the back of you balers. That way when you drop a bale you can keep them in a line or one general area. Not a JD dealer but I've seen them in use on JD balers and was impressed with on how you can keep them all in one localized area of the field or waterway. Saves pick up time, saves fuel, and keeps traffic on the field localized to a few areas. Having been the kid picking up bales years ago with a just a loader up front and bale fork on the back of a 4320. The 1/4 sect of grass we baled took a couple of days to get back. And driving on hay ground always seemed to stunt it in areas. Just a thought. Great video, truly enjoy watching you and your brothers videos. Bring back good memories.

when you have an empty net wrap roll or a partial in your case you can hook the bungee cords on the other chain link that's welded right next to where you hook it for a full roll

Wow that green is really pretty. We don't have any in southern Oklahoma right now. We are baling pasture blue stem. Which is super dry and very much of a fire hazard. Burnt out 2 year old baler last month. Burnt all we had cut in the morning right before dinner last week. May go back to sickle mowers which won't be as likely to cause fires when you hit a rock .

"That's a wrap!" I see what you did there. :) There is something really fascinating about both raking and baling of hay. I think it is because it is out in the open and you can see what is happening. Planting or side-dressing is kinda hidden. Love your videos!

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

At least with the cab you have little to no dust from the hay to breathe. My older brother has allergies and my dad sent him out to operate the rake anyway as is he was making up his allergy problems. The worst part was trying to stack hay bales in an old wooden barn on a hot day with no ventilation.

[@IDoAgri]

pure class 👌

[@jessiegoss3712]

We don't back up to dump and we don't move until we close and the door locks, then we move. We use that wrap, and we use other wraps as well. They all work even the cheaper wrap. Price went up 3 times as much as last year. So brother found a guy who bought way to much last year at the low price. This year there is no hay. So he sold it to us at the cheaper price. We cut pasture so we have hay to cut summer winter spring and fall.
