Wheat Harvest 2020 near Alva Oklahoma

[@michaelhahn6759]

Mike I worked for a guy out of Dacoma, OK. Which is about 8 miles south west of there. That was 1982. We ran IH 1480s with 24' rigid header. What a fun summer that was. Chasing wheat from Texas to Montana.

Great video! At about 17:00 and following - great memories of 60 years ago, ... sun setting, winds have died, and the dust from the combine just hangs. The dust from one round remains, until coming around again. Just as in this video, it does not even settle to the ground quickly, it just hangs. Great content!

[@Kombajnistazbizona]

There is nothing better than the sounds of the harvest in the evening or night, you go out in front of the house and you hear the steady roaring of combines coming from all over the area and this smell of fresh cutted straw mixed with diesel exhaust`s... Harvest in the evening in Poland :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/aae8h4yrbZhkaJY

[@tophand9571]

I cut wheat there 20 years ago. One night cut one of the combine got stuck and it took two hours to get it out!!! What fun!!!

[@gododgers3491]

I feel bad for the guy that drew the short straw and had to drive the Case. John Deere rocks!! Thanks again for posting!

[@markparkinson7194]

My first drive of a combine was my dads brand new international self propelled 711 when I was about 10 years of age. That was a huge machine at the time. I think it harvested 10t/hr of wheat. Now look where the human mind has taken us. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺

[@bertrutledge4546]

I went on custom harvest in 74 and 75, based out of Fort Supply, Oklahoma. We would start at Duke, Oklahoma then go to Woodward and Buffalo then go to Lamar, Colorado and stop in Nebraska. Enjoyed it and miss it. Thanks

[@rollz2727]

You have to love this time of year plantings just got done haying is going on and wheat harvest👍🏻🇺🇸

[@krisbaird5555]

Nice video Mike love seeing combines in the field going after the crop hope you and your daughter are enjoying yourselves there

[@klaudheath2665]

Nice up load mike thanx ,good to see young kids out there doing it and learning as well ,I always fondly remember myself doing this growing up around machinery too . Cheers mate @ New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@mattycraps3514]

I ran a case ih magnum 315 on a kinze 3600 planter this spring near Fort Loramie Ohio with Seger farm and am going into the 8 grade also

[@joescheller6680]

one combine operator knows what hes doing them square corners are pretty but lose alot of time. you do the rounded corners and clean them up at the end taught that to me as young boy on the wheat harvest 65 years ago

[@Snowtruckdriver]

As usual, great video Mike I worked a custom harvest crew one summer as a kid running a 510 Massey-Ferguson. 14 foot header, 327 Chevy power and no cab. Boy haven't times changed? That was back in 1968. BTW great drone coverage. And I might add, the cart boy is doing a fantastic job.

[@tiger5551]

I always thought those old style grain headers were just the coolest thing

[@bigtractorpower]

I got the notification right as the video posted. Just watched all 25 min 25 seconds. Good job to the 4955 operator and 9650 combine. Cool combine line up. Neat to see a full day going to after sunset.

[@farmhandmike]

Many more great Oklahoma 2020 wheat harvest videos coming soon.

[@Hudsonfarms0530]

That's cool seeing multiple brands on the same farm. That's pretty rare....I like it

[@ScottPykare]

Good to wake up to this. The air must have stayed dry there in the evening to let them continue harvesting? We're about 2-3 weeks out from wheat harvest here in northeast Ohio. Then double crop soybeans. Thanks Mike and look forward to more videos.👍👍

[@georgedoolittle7574]

Natural gas prices have plunged to 20 year lows this week because of an oddly cool start to this Month June, 2020. Good news if you're running heavy equipment! Of course better news if you're an oil refinery as well as I hear they have a few out that way.

[@aaronlamb2960]

Thanks for the video Mike! We are just up the road from Alva (Anthony, KS). Love harvest time!

[@farmhandmike]

Aaron Lamb We drove through Anthony to and from Alva.

[@davidgahm4703]

My grandfather used to own farm ground in Alva ! We used to buy feeder cattle from Alva as well.

[@craigpetty3335]

Them younguns were doin an outstanding job running that equipment!!

[@coryfritz295]

That 4955 Deere tractor. One of favorites. Thanks for the great footage Mike!!

[@jdfarmer576]

Nice wheat harvest video

[@northdakotafarmer5738]

Also I ran a 535 case quadtrack with a tiger mate 255 60 foot cultivator and a 7140 case in magnum with a right way 45 foot beam roller

[@marcelo403polo2]

I don't know anything about farming, but holy shit I love watching farming equipment in action. Specially those huge harvesters

[@chunkmen]

I have seen that quiet a few places in the world that run continuous winter wheat almost none of them cover crop or interseed at all. In places like Oklahoma especially where they graze alot of cattle, cow peas would be fantastic and do wonders for water infiltration and nitrogen cycling

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

It's amazing all the different growing rates across the country!! Fall planted wheat and oats doesn't get combined until mid July or later here.. and that's not pastured off first.

[@benpattinson1]

What was the wheat yielding after being grazed by cows all winter? Would be interested to know if they seed at a higher rate to account for the grazing??

[@jimzoesch5799]

Great video, Mike. Thanks for driving over and sharing with us. Be safe over there in the wild of OK.

[@tsint]

Lovely video! I have always been told that I should not have the header in the ground when I turn the combine. But I suppose that they don't have many rocks in this area.

[@boifromoklahoma3197]

Too bad I’m in SW Oklahoma cutting wheat for my grandparents. I go to school up in Alva at NWOSU it would’ve been awesome to meet you ! Maybe next year lol

[@cmstreich]

Love to see y Oklahoma. My parents grew up in this area and my dads family custom harvested from Montana to Texas- ran Gleaner Combine

[@henningsrensen2421]

use to combine with a N7 Gleaner. Awesome maschine.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Questions for you Mike. Just picked up a 1985, 936 Versatile tractor. Need a few parts for it.. where might I be able to find things like hydraulic control cables, a roof and inside cab panels???? Good inexpensive parts would be nice!😎👍

[@stevewhitehouse1660]

You never see a farmer on a push bike !! Greeting from UK

[@alexthomson719]

Great video Mike more thanks 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@geoffmiasnik8363]

Great photography. I really enjoyed it.

[@samlincoln5548]

Beautiful shots of the landscape and a family working in unison to bring in the harvest. Stunning scenery.

[@craigpetty3335]

If more kids were raised like this, and taught the value of an honest days work, there would be a lot less BS in the world, especially antifa!!

[@noyesphotography1979]

great videos; also great to see farmers actually driving; i noticed no auto steer; lol

[@mwburfeind]

from an old-timer here that swathed oats in MN with an Owatonna machine in the '60s in the days before cab luxuries -- my question is have combine headers gone to disc cutting as most hay machines have or are they still sickle bars ?

[@farmhandmike]

No disc cutters yet that I know of.

[@iantowers6972]

All still on knives up to present bud,can't see why a disc wouldn't work tho only thing I can see is a knive can cut lower to the ground when say cattle farmers want to bale the straw for feed and bedding etc!!!

[@SimonKL11]

Great to see some harvest action👍 Any chance to see the versatile combines running near gotebo again?

[@jimmystrain883]

Great video Mike, enjoyed tremendously

[@Hellbillyhok]

my cousin farms in alva Clackmannanshire Scotland, i wonder if it was someone from our alva that formed your alva in the 1860's i think you said 👍🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

[@29rosslyn]

Excellent video Mike! Thanks.

[@organic_colorado_bob___8838]

Hey Mike do you know how far north harvesting has gotten? We're in southeasten Colorado and the wheat is getting close it looks like. we haven't heard of any people harvesting in our area just wondering if you knew how far north in Oklahoma they're getting. We harvest about 4000 acres of dry land wheat a year with two s670 combines. Great video btw!

[@BigTader]

Mike do you have any plans to do a video on the new John Deere X9 combine looks like a awesome machine.

[@RicciCAgrarundForstvideos]

cool!

[@lericsun]

shout out to ALVA OK. and the a very large part of the McKitrick family that live there!!!

[@franklinbrooks9506]

Hey, Mike, I think I’ve asked this before, but what causes those 4-5 for diameter bare spots in the wheat? Did a steer take a gigantic pi🐍🐍 while they were grazing on wheat shoots early on?

[@franklinbrooks9506]

4-5 foot.

[@stephensfarms7165]

Awesome bread. 👍👍👍

[@kmcgee552]

You was up the road from our harvesting crew we was in Carmen Oklahoma

[@1982MCI]

Great video Mike!! Man I sure miss seeing these machines run in western Ohio and central Iowa buddy, it’s in my blood and will never leave!!!! Are these guys not concerned about being able to capture the straw for a second crop Mike or is it more beneficial to disc it back into the soil or let it set and rot till fall? Thanks Mike, I’ve been away from the big game now for awhile and it seems like it’s changed some over the years and was just curious. The smaller farmers around me in NC now (100-500 acres) who only have small plots of wheat of less than 50 acres or so still grab that straw and bale it for another income source but I imagine that’s much different than what these guys are doing. Watching the combine pass in front of that Oklahoma sunset with the chaff blowing is one of the most beautiful sights to me so thank you very much for bringing that to me Mike, I miss seeing it on this scale so much! It’s so much different than cutting a 29 acre field! Take care mike and you and your daughter be safe out there buddy!

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Now, these machines are mph at design and covering acres. They put cattle on the crop to help "stool" the winter wheat during maturity stage.

[@hughwhaley3179]

That's getting it done 🚜👍

[@ghraptor30]

Awesome

Ha I'm the same age as the grain cart man I run a 485 case quadtrack with a 1300 bushel unverferth cart🙂

[@nwpioneer2551]

Mike, in your intro there's a red tractor with 4 axels. It's huge. Very long. I've never seen anything like it. Where is it????

[@stevefarrow9327]

Prototype Versatile...never produced...was restored and in a museum.

[@stmcelroy4829]

Austin Manitoba.

[@Mariini]

Also Deutz-Fahr has toyed with that consept, Agro XXL.

[@lynwessel2471]

"Big Roy" they called it.

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Great video Mike

[@jakekahle1206]

The real wheat crop is in Kay County Oklahoma about 80 miles East of Alva. We have guidance with no square or rounded corners. Much more efficient.

[@iantowers6972]

Where do the custom harvest crews sleep mike??do they normally have caravans with them etc fella??!👍🏻😎🙏🏻🔥🔥

[@farmhandmike]

They generally have campers with them. Some stay in nearby hotels.

[@gregadams5972]

It makes it easier to farm if you got a couple oil wells to cut around

[@natehill8069]

Wont John Deere sue you for running something red in the same field?

[@Tractorandsirens]

Hope to see an older classic combine doing wheat

[@northdakotafarmer5738]

We have 2 9240 case combines with 45 foot macdons

[@haydenwest1422]

Ahhh we are doing wheat here in Texas but we don’t have really any big equipment

[@haydenwest1422]

We do have a older versatile though and Steiger

[@wilsontakaki3207]

Naice. Video

[@scruffy6151]

Well done 👍

[@northdakotafarmer5738]

And a 4440 with a degalman rock picker

[@MienTayTiVi]

Super machine

[@jimmystrain883]

How many bushels of wheat did they get to the acre

[@bartoski-ag]

2:28 you'd think all the volunteers would be enough to grow after discing instead of drilling wheat into wheat

[@JdFlores]

Genial...

[@martinschaub5637]

Is the case a custom cutter?

[@Old-Farm-Hand]

why do you leave the corners ?

[@dcrosco1458]

it is good to see that the country will not go with out food this winter

[@lynwessel2471]

"Essential Services" hard at work.

[@ivanvankeulen5214]

In wheat we get an average of 140-160Bu/acre, what is the average yield of wheat in the USA?

[@scottb2712]

200 we had some go 285

[@ivanvankeulen5214]

Scott B you’ve gotten 285bpa in Wheat? (19 Tons to the hectare?)

I go to school with them

[@ianedmonds8809]

Who's ever running at 1, mine needs to stop missing the crop

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Two different ways to cut the corners. One does the loop the others do the skip and then come back at the end and cut out the corner strips.

[@farmhandmike]

Nope they are doing that on purpose. When running multiple combines in wheat they will cut the corner and leave some wheat and the last combine through cleans up the corners. This way the they are not holding each other up squaring off each corner.

[@craigpetty3335]

Yea its obvious some people don't know how to properly combine!! You always do that on purpose, its too time consuming to square off the corners

[@angryamericanmodding9770]

Mike I sent you a message on Instagram! It’s Brayden Schroeder! I wish I would have known you were down I am in Freedom where we run 7k acres of hay! Cargill Solar Salt, 300k head of cattle yearly, and a light trucking company.
