[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

Why not do like you did with the brute, and build your own big bud themed heavy combine? Something beefy enough to carry a more durably built header

[@ka1wcc358]

Just donated $50

[@joshuabiggum3758]

What's the timeline for donations? How long will the drive be?

[@Frenske357]

Donated 25 dollars for guys in Iowa. Stay strong and God bless from the Netherlands!

[@jasonswift7098]

Well done Nick and Scott and Robert Welker.

[@mwnciboo]

This channel used to be more Nick, but Legarms has turned into a really good, confident presenter almost professional. Nick is great, but Legarms is becoming the star of the show, their dad too also brings a different dynamic. You can tell their dad is proud, it radiates off him like the sun, his boys on his family farm with their families all working as one, facing trials and tribulations.

I live in Cedar Rapids, IA. I just want to thank you. Ever house was damaged in some way. No tree was untouched. This storm was Aug 10 th, we still have huge piles of of debris along our streets. Today the city said they will still be picking up debris. When the snow starts to fly. But we are Iowa Strong. Thank you for all your help. Each and one of us appreciates all the help. If wasn't for you and other organizations. We wouldn't be as far as we are. Again Thank you!!!!

[@randallharmsen5802]

I think someone has been watching FastAg videos about the grain baggers? That is a great alternative compared to dumping grain in your storage building floor. Harvest has its times with breakdowns. Good ol’ fashion farmer blacksmiths fixin’ the header. Been there done that. Thank for the video Welker’s. Be safe.

[@barryfunke8165]

Thank You guys! I live hr north of the path of the Derecho. We were lucky no damage. Im 48 yrs old and have never seen such wide spread damage.It followed the hwy 30 across the state. Most grain bins were empty due to upcoming fall harvest. Corn fields flatten for miles. Farms and Co-op's lost bins and some cases entire farms are gone. Very ugly sight. I live in Manchester Iowa. Major cities like Des Moines, Cedar Rapids have been without power for almost 2 weeks in spots. A person has to see to believe! I would like to get out to Montana to see your operation . Maybe next spring or fall. Stay Safe and god bless ! Thank you for thinking of the Iowa farmers and all the folks affected.

[@dustnmayjd]

I live is Shellsburg Iowa, just heading your comments and concerns means more than you’ll ever know, the storm was a total devastation, but we are Iowans we’re proud of where we’re from, love this land we will rebuild and life will go back to normal! Thank you all

[@Thinkfastization]

My father grew up on a farm (no livestock) in Germany. We live in the U.S. now, and used to go back every year till I was in high school and it used to be my favorite thing in the world to be on the tractors and combines with my uncle and cousins. We no longer visit and my uncle has retired from farming and leased his land to other farmers in the area. I would just like to say this channel brings me so much joy to not only see how farms work in the U.S. but bring me back to the time I was a kid and got to climb all over the machines. Thank you Welker farms for the positive energy you guys give to us. Cheers to a good harvest 🙏🏻

[@billireland2029]

[@dalerozendaal4902]

Thanks from Iowa. I am donate labor To the Cornstar Family. Thats Showing Caring & Sharing. I live 50 miles south of them. We were hit at my place. Took down 3 white pines. That I planted when they were seedlings. They were 20 feet tall. Then some corn blown somewhat flat. I was my semi, just got to one of my stops. There I have too. Jackknife. The trailer, to the corral. The good Lord, had me. Or Holy Ghost, to be there. Just as the rain & wind. Came full force, I made thetruck & trailer into a wedge. Orarrow shape. That gave me a firm base. It did rock it, some but not a wicked. Or violent, thought I was on the outside edge of a twister.

[@CPthetooladdict]

Thanks man us Iowans appreciate your support!!!

[@browntonzoo9245]

Just donated $100.00. I hope this helps in some way to all those farmers that just had their lives blown away. Thanks for giving us the chance to help and donate!!!

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Scott mentioned the smell of the grain and I was instantly back in wheat harvest 30 years ago. I swear I could smell it again. Thanks for the trip back in time.

[@RA-cg9co]

Enjoying the humour from the Old Boy 👌

[@lachiestevens1582]

Made a donation all the way from Aus! 🤙🏻

[@FieldRows]

Out of all the farming channels I believe yours is the most "polished". Editing is on point, audio is great and your able to keep the video moving nicely.

[@wolfy62336]

Glad to help out! Stay 💪 strong!

[@matthewmonahan7425]

Just noticed the milk shirt. Thanks for supporting the dairy farmers. Great video of harvesting at dusk.

[@Dzimmmmmmys]

The angle from birds eye view when the combaine goes around pole looks awesome!

[@alanstant9356]

Its teamwork that gets thru anything that happens. Thats awesome to hear that from the damage of the storm guys.

[@buzwyer2269]

FARMERS HELPING FARMERS.....THE AMERICAN WAY! Paul Harvey said it best. GOD BLESS THE FARMER

[@RashleysBorderQue]

Donation sent. God Bless the farmers in Iowa and across the nation.

[@thomasg7978]

I love Welker Farms so much, here in Germany it is not possible to farm as big as Welker is ... Wish i'll be one of this insane team. Just stay as cool as you have been :) greetings from bavaria

[@jtthill5475]

Amazing machines and creativity at work. Congrats on the great harvest. Thanks for sharing.

[@dennisperschbacher3688]

Nice drone footage. Especially the snaps at night!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Guy's this is truly an amazing video...WOW....Thanks American's at work for the world...!

[@GoldPicard]

Don't know if someone else has said it but, that phone call segment was really well done the transitions was basically seamless and the audio was great.

[@rawhideadventures9515]

Welker and Fast Ag, what a great team, I'm in.

[@markhall1438]

Donation made. Thank you to all the Welker's. Have watched for some time now due to my family being from Chinook. While I don't live there I have tons of memories of each summer going to grandmas.

[@641pjensen]

I'm from Iowa,. From a farming background but no longer farming...this is awesome.

[@jimgott2405]

Hi Nick, I'm enjoying these videos so much I'm going to go back to the start and watch everything from the beginning 😊 from sunny Lincolnshire in the UK 🇬🇧 😀

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Get treatment 😅. Seriously thanks for following us 👍

Hello from Miami FL good job Welker and help others farmer

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

Done, because Farmers are amazing

[@nickmillhollin3996]

Thank you for helping Iowa! I rode out the 140mph winds in a machine shed and roof was ripped off and sides started to go next. Lol luckily we made it. But thank you again for helping my fellow Iowans #Iowastrong 💪🏼love your videos 😀

[@edwardharrop5819]

Leg Arms was holding back. He could bend everything by hand. Lol. Nice vids of harvest

[@sashcraft51]

Including the donations this was a super good vlog. Great learning about the bagger. The harvest was awesome to watch and that big country music set it all off.

[@richardhatfield2536]

Boys when the grain cart on show please,Melbourne australia,boys love alll the videos,loving the harvest,well done and keep safe boys.

[@brucecampbell7266]

Brings back some good memories.

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey guys thanks for the great video, nice to see Bobs wife keeping him busy 😂 bagging wheat reminded me of bagging silage on my neighbors dairy farm. 👍

[@jonkreiser7757]

Man that was a reel problem you had there!!!! I was im-pressed at how you took care of it. Glad you got it fixed and am excited for you guys getting to fill all that new storage and that your Crops are coming off and yielding so well!!!! God bless and stay safe (and awake)!!!

[@SuperScooby70]

Thank you Welkers/Fast. We definitely took a hard hit here in Iowa. In my particular area just north of Cedar Rapids Iowa we had 140mph winds. I've been out donating my time and my skidloader to the cleanup effort. Over 100 hrs so far. Joined forces with a local church and their volunteers and have really made a difference. Now we have Samaritans Purse on board as well. We've been cleaning a trailer park for its residents since the owners have offered zero assistance.

[@mattgrace2367]

Thanks for thinking of Iowa. I live right through the middle of most of the damage. Our family farms lost 3 grain bins, 3 machine sheds, multiple trees, minor house damage and damage to a few other buildings.

[@FichtelUS]

50 Bucks on its way. Great idea and way for the Welker Community to help.

[@ruralconservative6625]

We are 50 miles NE of Omaha, We are soooo blessed to have been in the build up stage all the devastation is east of us Not to sound callous but " thank God"

[@jeremygoeke3713]

Just wanted to say thank you from us here in Iowa. Just having you say something about the damage and wanting to help is amazing.

[@wranther]

Down this way Bob a May Frost hit the chokecherries hard. What blossoms there were after the frost just dried for a lack of bees. Dont see many bees in these parts anymore. Couple every now and then is about it. Hope your harvest continues safely and productively. -Bob...

[@danieljohnston5306]

Great mission to donate to. Man that drone footage was spectacular! It gives me goosebumps every time!

[@jasonstrasser9753]

The storm also ripped though Illinois where I live in the west of Chicago with our trees in my neighborhood.

[@jtn-minn8105]

Good job guys! Clean up after after huge storm events isn't fun, but they'll get it done they're Midwestern tuff...I remember very well when we got clobbered by the 1995 July 11-15 Derecho's, two nights in a row, what a mess...

[@artayers2372]

Keep up the good work guys!!!

[@gl309495]

11:20 SO glad you explained how them fingers worked. We never get to see the action on them well.

[@kb7722]

Lot of beastly equipment. Awesome to see it all. Awesome videography.

[@rocketwontoo5073]

Hello from Iowa. This is first video I've watched since getting Internet back today (19 days without it). We here in Iowa appreciate what you doing to help us out here. We were hit with a real body blow. This was not a love tap. It was total system impact! Yes I was without power for a week, Cell phones coverage was spotty at best for about 3 days. Trees were down all over the place and on things. I could go on and on but it would be too much to write here. Would love to meet you guys some time. And thanks again from here in the heartland of America. Sincerely

[@henryg683]

It is beautiful to see the bins being filled glad to see you’re labor is paying off!!!

[@duke3336]

I mean this farm is what makes a farm actually amazing🤩

[@Bob-jw1pc]

Up here in northern Alberta we have power lines all over the place too and with wide equipment , its always a hazard at night,,,,,, simple solution is reflective strips,, cut small pieces, place them so equipment in the field flashes on them and it'll catch your attention,,,,, every little bit helps,,,, good luck on your harvest and fundraising for Iowa

[@davehall7178]

Really cool ya'll! This Farm Wife and i am sure many more of the family are doing the the same to help those effected.

[@kirklothert3435]

God Bless the people who suffered from the storm devastion

[@bryanbrunsdon2695]

Love your harvest videos great job

[@morgansword]

The world looking up from say a nine year old boys face is huge.. really its small when you see how we are all connected to each other as no one job is the most important unless it comes to family..... the best job is family. Glad to see you guys pulling each other up an no one is down for long. Platitudes of speech best served by action. I'd say its time to get a dog to keep Cobbie on his toes. A youngster to keep rabbits under control. Where do you stop as we are so busy and self important.... ya, get the dog as some of you when older will say best thing I ever did was rescue a dog who's future is in doubt and those winds have got to of left some homeless.

[@TaurusPrimus]

We need a die cast model of the International semi and Demco Trailer! I sure would buy one🙂

[@jasonprocai1020]

Rockin H Model builder on KZbin made a couple I think he sells them?

[@jeremyburton6709]

Just donated. Thank you guys for doing this!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

That looks like a lot of fun that's awesome!

[@JM-pg4bv]

Yall are awesome just started watching your channel I was actually playing farm simulator 17 and seen your farm on there and looked it up. Also donated to the fund raiser good luck

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Thanks Jeremy, blessings

[@patriciakleeberg5647]

Picking chokecherries with my dad is one of my favorite memories! Great video! It might be interesting for people if you explain about those alkali flats. You have a lot of viewers who wouldn't know.

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

Will try in a future vid

[@justinmills8084]

Those grain bagger would be a great help with the grain storage for those that lost their grain bends back East.

[@kathleenm9963]

Amazing! Great job!

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great vlog, great to see you guys on spring wheat at last. Shame about the power lines etc

[@chasestahl5910]

Very impressive fix

[@edcew8236]

I've already donated to Samaritan's Purse and Eight Days of Hope, both first rate outfits. I worked with Eight Days of Hope after the 2008 flood. That's my excuse for not joining your most worthwhile fundraiser.

[@WelkerFarms]

Hey good job on your part! We don't expect anyone to donate and if anyone has already donated elsewhere good for you! Don't ever feel pressured to do anything here.

[@paulc8581]

@@WelkerFarms I'm gonna send sum funds the third. Wish I could go out there to help.

[@geraldskaggs3903]

Ed Cew, both of those are good organizations to donate to. I usually use Eight Days of Hope.

[@jeffthomas6158]

Amazing video nick! Love the drone footage 😎

[@enjoylife1176]

Yep, donated $ 25 for Welker Farms, keep up the good work.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

It happens in South Africa to New York when we go through the through the fence

[@lboyd0512]

Oh wow! My grandmother always picked and made choke cherry jelly. It was the best! I wish I could buy some somewhere. I haven't been able to find anything on the Internet. They must be rare anymore!!!

[@RobertWelkerFarmerBob]

They are awesome

[@harrybassett1441]

Dont know if you have seen them but you can get a hydraulic pump that you put on the grain cart and then use the hydraulics from the tractor

[@russrecker5344]

Awesome vid Nick!

[@michaelmccolgan3291]

Duluth pants are the best seriously especially climbing up and down on tractors all day

[@henrylopez5252]

Duluth offers lifetime warranty of their pants. When need new ones, mail em in and get brand new ones!

[@willardway3037]

What would help running at night is to take reflective tape and staple a ring around the pole about 6 FT. off the ground. The money spend on the reflective tape will pay dividends in no repair costs. TIME IS MONEY.

[@patmancrowley8509]

You need a few pairs of Duluth Trading Company pants which are made out of fire-hose material. The company claims that they're tougher than an angry beavers teeth. I get 3 years out of them before I get holes. These pants last two years longer than Dickies, blue jeans or Carhart. They're expensive but spreading out the cost per pair over three years makes them affordable.

[@bradhanson4803]

Always love that intro thunder lightning bad ass

[@paulc8581]

Love Ed Zack's commercial. Wish I could go and help build bins back or everything that needs done.

[@RobertCBaldwinJr]

Sweet filmography there near the end!!!

[@moiraviewfarms3381]

Its amazing that in about 1 year you guys will be celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the channel, where is the bowling ball.

[@Mississippi-xj7rq]

Leg arms, Some people don’t get why the hard work of farming is not all about the $$$! It’s the things you can smell, feel, see, hear, and taste!!! We raise commercial cattle. I knew I raised my 2 daughters rite when they say they love the smell of cow manure!!!! Lmbo!!! I do to. It’s the fruits of our labor. But I really like the taste of a big ol bone in ribeye that came out off our farm!!!
