We Saved Our Worst Fields For Last...

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. ❤️

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.

[@SPR-777]

@@asmrhead1560 I have never heard that expression before, but it’s true!! Lol

[@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! 🤔

[@odfarmboy]

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?

[@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.

[@williamburns9731]

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

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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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🇧🇻

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

[@jaybiberstein9920]

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

[@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!

[@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. 😊👋👍✅🙏💕🇺🇸

[@michaelcaluri3539]

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

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

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.

[@runwillrobinson]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@TheBest-ob1kj]

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

[@stuartroland9605]

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

[@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

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

[@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 !!!!!

[@MrLisborg]

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

[@willyfindlay4398]

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

[@lenscap8925]

Like putting a non writing pen back in the cup...an empty can of whatever on the shelf is just as profitable...makes inventory a chore!

[@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

[@kieronbower8549]

Thank you for all you do

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.

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 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤

[@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.......

[@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

[@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

[@jonimiller3747]

Keep looking up

[@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.😄

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

[@melvinalbert6172]

Maybe you can test out a new big bud when thay come out ! It would be cool to see what the difference would be like

[@UncleManuel]

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

[@melvinalbert6172]

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 😂

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

Do solar chargers work on equipment parked in a shed though? 🤔

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

[@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.

[@mseibert3403]

does the rainfall insurance and such at least cover costs?

[@tuberNunya]

Not enough to pay for the diesel. Better to plow it under as winter wheat seed?

[@WelkerFarms]

@@tuberNunya won't get insurance if we do that. They need to know how many bushels were out there so they can deduct that from our guarantee. Which isn't much but will pay for the harvest and a bit more. Also that is spring wheat and it cannot go through a winter. But believe me it sure sounded nicer to abandon it!

[@tuberNunya]

@@WelkerFarms I see. Too bad.

[@jasonclark3127]

So you’re making a slice of bread to the acre or a loaf. We had hay that made a flake to the acre before. It would be cool to see the 435 Bud on a drill

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Too light for the drills if they have the other two big ones running

[@canaanmorgan1731]

If it’s that bad is it even cost effective to cut it? I mean machine wear and tear and replacement cost and the fuel cost I would think it’d be cheaper to just plow it under and not harvest it.
