Combine Down! Rock Busted Up My Feeder Chain!!

[@bobkalma4960]

I like how you have been adding the dates to your videos. As a viewer, I find it helpful in knowing when the footage was recorded versus when we are actually viewing it.

[@WelkerFarms]

Glad to hear!

Thank you for putting the dates in, it really helps us know when harvesting is actually happening in your area.

I agree 👍

Our dealership leased out a used combine to a farmer to harvest beans. His fields were very rocky, and the rock traps kept tripping. So he wired them closed. At some point he picked up a large rock, which tried to go thru the rotor. It took out the rotor and damaged the conclaves and mounting points. It took us weeks to repair it.

You need a flex header for lentils. I thought you’d bought one earlier. It’s worth it to get one, lentils can be a great crop for rotation and worth quite a bit of $ some years. Don’t give up on them, go header shopping this winter.

[@marcusmiller5033]

But they only get in single digits for yields. Makes it hard to justify

[@jeffekkel5870]

My mother always disapproved of me farming on Sundays. We didn't try to make it a habit but it was hard to sit still when the beans were ready to run and the weather folks were predicting 3 days of rain in November causing about a week set back. We lost a pickup to fire, on a Sunday of course and Mom never let me forget it. Gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes. I think the good Lord understands. Sorry about the break down, keep up the good work, you'll get there.

[@digger5858]

Great video guys, sorry about your lentil. Glad to see Colby still chasing the animals. Take care

Sorry about the feeder chain and the lentils. Love watching Coby chase the wild animals, he gets pretty wound up.

He's now so old and stiff that he can't jump up into the pickup, but he sure can still run after critters!

Thanks for being here planting and harvesting!! One thing about machines big or little they like to break down! All ways something! ❤

[@BR-bj3ot]

I’ve been praying for you guys to get the rain that you so desperately need. I always keep all of America’s amazing farmers in my prayers. I received a strong indication that beginning next growing season, you will have plenty of rain and grain prices will be very good. I really pray that this feeling is accurate. God’s blessings to all of our farmers and the wonderful Welker family.

I wouldn't worry too much about missing church on Sunday Nick, I would've thought that you'd know farmers are exempt from church during harvest time. God understands & appreciates all farmers harvesting the crops God has grown, infact I think he'd be annoyed that you hadn't attended to the crops. So the Welkers are in the clear along with all the other food producers in the world 🌎 🙏.

I wouldn’t waste my time going to church in the first place. It’s just a big comic with lots of people that read it. Get a life.

Thanks for another great video Welkers!!!!!!!! It was interesting and enjoyable to watch for sure. Sorry your combine is down. That rock really tore up that feeder chain- -wow!!!!!!!!! Looks like the chain is destroyed and possibly other damage. Rocks are really hard on those chains, OUCH!!!!!!!!! Parts to order and work to fix the combine and get going again. Sorry. Feel bad for you guys. Hang in there Welkers!!!!!!!!! Colby really likes chasing the deer and antelope. For a dog his age that is commendable. Bob and Colby are such wonderful combine partners!!! Just fantastic how they work together in the combine!!!!!! Bob you give great care to Colby. You two are Harvest Partners!!!!!!! Good to see Wiggles again. He is such good help and friend to the Welkers !!!! Nice person. That grain bin you looked at Scott is full to the top that’s for sure. Great 👍!!!!!! Having a good harvest!!!!!! About it for now I guess. Thanks for everything Welkers. My blessings to you. Hopefully your new parts are available quickly. Prayers for some rain for you all.

[@rdyardie]

My Uncle Freddy farmed south of Asquith, Sask., Canada. He retired in 2006. He rented his land out to another family. He told his renter that he never farmed on Sunday. His renter said that he knew that. He never farmed his land on a Sunday. He was in church. He stood by his faith. His son in law now farms the land. He is in church on Sunday. I do not farm. We used to go "look at the crops" on Sundays. You see, my father came from a farm background. My grandpa named his farm truck Beulah. That is a Biblical name. I could never figure how why in Heaven's name you named a truck "Beulah". . . . now I know. There is a song that was written by Squire Parsons, called "Beulah Land". . . . now you know. You can see the song sung on KZbin. I am not judging the Welkers at all. There are other Christian farms on KZbin. Observing the Sabbath is not in vogue anymore. I do not have crops to harvest.

[@farmerstephen]

I am in the UK. I am also a Christian. I don’t farm on Sundays. I also have a KZbin channel. I believe in the 10 commandments and that the Sunday is a special day. The fourth commandment.

Work on Sunday, repair on Monday. I learned that from way back. Working on Sunday never seemed to gain anything. That was a great video until it wasn't. Sorry about the combine and the lentils. Maybe you might want to get that potato digger from next door in Idaho? Good luck!! Forgot to mention The freeway doesn't seem to be as fun to cross!

[@mtcelticharper]

That overpass had one lane blocked most of the summer for regular repairs. I'm glad the road crew finished it before harvest! I don't know what the guys would have done to get the combines to those fields. There is no other access.

Remember when Michael Bloomberg said all farmers do is drop the seed on the ground and watch it grow? Hardly!

[@1202-Alarm]

I'm not a farmer, but Bloomberg's comment was so demeaning to farmers. To run a farm you have to have knowledge of crops, fertilizers, herbicides, weather, mechanical knowledge to repair equipment, knowledge of the crop futures market, and general business knowledge to balance your revenues vs. expenses. Farming is at the mercy of the weather. Had a cousin of my that is a Wharton graduate and worked on Wall Street. Her father was in manufacturing and worked his butt off making a successful business. She was disillusioned by Wall Street colleagues making millions of dollars by pushing a button....basically a gamble on market movements. Bloomburg is clueless about farming.

Whoever told you that looked like a 20bu lentil crop had never ever grown a 20 bu lentil crop. 20bu the rows would be filled out that being said, a 45ft rigid header in lentils is nearly impossible to do, we run a 35ft rigid in them and it doesn’t get all of them either, definitely to get 95% of them you definitely need a flex

Have U considered a sprinkler system for irrigation ?. T be consistent on moisture sure raises yield . In AZ. Desert irrigation in one form or another is a nessessity also we hit 120 degrees in summer .

[@mtcelticharper]

Even in Arizona it requires ground water. There is zero ground water under Welker Farms. The nearest water source is over ten miles away, and it would likely take millions of dollars to access it, across multiple private and public properties. There is no irrigation option for Welker Farms.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

We are not nearly as large in operation as woelkers, but we tried to take Sundays off as much as we possibly can doing only livestock chores and trying to get to church. My feelings are that God built that seventh day of rest in as much a rest and a change of pace as it is for worship. I think you are a better operator in any business if you take that one day a week off and rest and change your pace a little bit

I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my reason and all my senses ✝, and still takes care of them.
