I'm from Milwaukee Wisconsin originally. I'm a city boy but a nature lover at heart. I spent a few summers on dairy and grain farms in rural Wisconsin. Case equipment is made in Racine, Wisconsin. Wow how modern they are now. Montana is one of my favorite places ⛰ 🚜

[@donpeterson9282]

You mentioned the National FFA Convention. I was a member of the National FFA Concert Band in the fall of 1958. It was an awesome experience for a 15 year old from central Michigan. In the 50s the National FFA Concert Band was made up of two FFA members from each state in the Union. FFA members who were also musicians auditioned for the band at each respective state convention in the early spring. The National Convention was held in October in the following fall at the same time as the International Livestock Show in Kansas City. Both the Livestock Show and the FFA Convention were huge events in my High School years.

Hey Nick, thanks for the shout-out on Kate's AG channel, and of course on the other awesome farm or dairy You-Tubers. 😉 👍

[@ryanevers7563]

Thanks for going to the National FFA convention. My son and his friends were thrilled to meet you guys and for the signed bobble heads. (Apparently, many others were thrilled also as he said you guy were very busy). I’m glad that the people my kids watch and look up to work for a living.

[@martinkennard1669]

I am over east of you in Chinook. Really enjoy your live stream. The monolog while working is great entertainment. Better then any radio commentator. So sorry the crops around here aren't the best. Keep the wheels turning. 👍

[@eileenerickson1875]

Leg Arms…..I was told years ago by a trauma nurse that if you massage the area in a rotary motion that’s full of scar tissue it will eventually loosen up some. Not a quick fix by any stretch of the imagination, it does take some time, but with continual massage it will get better. It helps the mood too because you feel like you’re actually able to do something about it and it doesn’t hurt anything.

Glad you have act of God on your contract. Never heard of that in Corn, beans and wheat. I'm in Michigan and for years my dad was a bookkeeper at a grain elevator. You always Hoped if you didn't have enough bushels, board price was cheaper and some one would fill your contract.

[@beaverstuff]

By tossing the rocks on the ground after replacing the bolt(s), you'll probably have to deal with those same rocks in the future. Would a tray/box be a better place to put such?

[@WelkerFarms]

I understand the logic but let me put that in perspective. Imagine a sandy beach and you don't want the sand, so every time you go to the beach you take a cup of sand away. It'd take a thousand lifetimes to remove all the sand. That is the same situation on the Montana prairies. We only focus on large rocks basketball size or larger as that is all we can handle.

Just like last year in Nebraska, no rain and harvested soybeans in September and corn in October. Got done early October before Halloween. And talk about weird. Usually pushing to get done for thanksgiving but last year done way early. So far this year, been pretty solid, but still need to get thru August with some rain.

Hi! Mr: Nick how much is a bush hole? Europe M3 ????

[@TatorGinger]

Omg that sound! Definitely ducked when I heard this sitting at the VA right now lmao. Great harvest!

[@donpeterson9282]

Since you are not able to irrigate, do you leave half your land lie fallow while planting in the other half to allow moisture to build up in the unplanned half? This would require keeping the weeds down on the half not planted. Does No-till work under this strategy? It would seem one would be required to keep the weeds off the unplanned half which, I guess, would be accomplished with weed killer and No-till. Maybe you get enough moisture during the winter to allow planting 100% of your land each year? Or at least this provides the largest profit return which is what has to be considered. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for our farmers for good health and weather that is conducive to growing crops. ✌🇺🇸🖖

[@donpeterson9282]

Correction: "unplanted" half.

Your spring wheat prices are not that bad...just need more to sell. Our year was dry with 17" from June to June 2021. About 11" during the fall and spring in the Texas Panhandle. It came 2 in 3" at a time and just in time so made 55 bu/ac but at $6.27 and now $6.80 for HRW. We have been no-till drilling into CRP ground where most who disked to get rid of the grass made 25 or less.

[@td-3734]

Just left working at a high volume Ford dealer for 8years. 6.2 is the most reliable tried and true along with a 6.8v10 that isnt offered in anything new. The 6.8 v8 concept should solve the issues they have been having on the 7.3. My experience it's hit or miss.. only 7.3s i have seen in have been engine issues to the point of replacement or valve issues. Seems like i rarely saw them otherwise. Call it coincidence but 3 that needed engines i talked to the customers on and a lot were just get up and go beat the vehicle didn't let it warm up and pushed oil changes over 5k miles.. My thoughts is 2020 and newer ive seen vehicle and manufacturing quality go down crazily.

Will you try winter wheat this year if it rains some after harvest? Could you tell where you had ripped last fall? Did it help any?

[@richardg4764]

The drought is only going to get worse in August. Since your yield is so low couldn’t you cut your wheat and bale it for feed to the feedlots? Might be worth more money that way.

[@lynwessel2471]

The straw keeps their topsoil from blowing away .

[@somersfarm1921]

Nick, do you guys have any plans with it being so dry this yr to run a ripper to break up compaction? Dry yrs are the best time to run a ripper to break up compaction, but it also means you wear thru the ripper points much quicker, along with burning a lot of fuel, especially with how many acres y'all have.

[@jacobweidinger6822]

+ eliminating the last bit of moisture in the soil by turning it up

[@robertreznik9330]

About a 1/3 of the soil moisture is left after a crop. That last 1/3 can be taken out by the atmosphere. That is why No Till works for arid lands. Most soils hold 1 to 3" water per foot.

[@somersfarm1921]

@@robertreznik9330, yes I know they don't get the rain, nor have the rich top soil like we got here in the Midwest. But if you do have compaction issues, the best way to break it up is in the fall with a inline ripper. Compacted soil, don't let water penetrate down in the ground. While they don't get the rain we do, they do tend to get quite a bit of snow.

[@mikedee6915]

10,000 acres...could you answer how your farming is different then during the 30's and the dust bowl

[@WelkerFarms]

Back then we likely only had a few hundred acres. Only a few of those acres were broke for farming and most ran sheep on the tough land. A few fences here and there, 2 or 3 small wooden buildings. Possibly a small gas tractor, cultivator, and seeder as well as a horse or oxen. Overall I can't be exact as I am fourth generation but to my knowledge that is how they farmed back then. It was very hard and few made it. That's why 100 acre Farms turned into 10,000 acre farms.
