Wrapping up an amazing wheat harvest!

[@JeremyMiller-z5f]

My 7 year old daughter was watching your video the other night with me, her comment, " Wow, it is so cool to watch them cutting grain!" I of course agreed with her. It was always my favorite time of the year, other than digging beets.

[@AhTechus]

It’s exciting to see such advancements in farming

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s awesome I’m glad you’re enjoying it with your family.

[@tuberNunya]

27,000 bushels in a day is just amazing. Congrats. You fed two million people for a week in one day.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s awesome. I’ve never actually done the math.

[@jerryjohnson8268]

FUN TO WATCH

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@wizardgaming669]

I raise cattle and goats in Alberta. Like watching your channel when I'm done the morning chores.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That is awesome!

[@jameskelley8839]

massive amount of material going through that Fendt

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Sure is

[@jameskelley8839]

One grain farmer and his son would throw their hats into the combine at the end of the last pass of the year

[@Rusty-GB]

Congratulations on completing the wheat harvest in such a short time. Seems the Fendt is already earning back its cost in time saved . I look forward to your next vid. 👍

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks we’ve got some good videos in the works

[@gavintrousdale7585]

What a way farming has come since I was kid on a farm in the ffties and early sixties. we had an old tag along combine that I think cut six feet. Also it was a sacker. So it was my job to go behind the coumbine with a team of mules and wagon picking up the sacks of grain and emepty them into the truck that took it to the elevator. Enjoyed your channel very much.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@John-nc4bl]

@@RockyMountainFarmer We had an old bagger Massey in Ireland many years ago and it had a platform where the grain came down a spout into the sack and someone had to sew the sack closed, then dump it off. Another good thing about that combine was that it collected the weed seeds as well into a sack that could be dumped off and burned. We also had a Gleaner. Now I am far away from the beautiful Emerald isle living in Vancouver, Ca.

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks for another one of your excellent videos. It looks like you folk had a bountiful harvest and I hope the same goes for your hay and potato crops.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I hope the potatoes go really well too. Thanks for watching.

[@BryanKagemann]

Good job guys getting the wheat harvest done

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks

[@joebaumann7359]

Enjoy watching from Maine and our potato rotations. Some great info to help our farmers!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it

Congrats on the new combine & a successful wheat harvest.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thank you!

It is good to see your investment does the job, congrats. Can not wait to watch the potato-harvest.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It’s a good machine. Potatoes coming soon

[@glennmoreside787]

Loved all your wheat harvest videos, truly enjoy listening to you and seeing all this cool equipment.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching

[@juan-pierreleroux8323]

Nice congrats to you all! Happy it worked out well. Manure and taters sounds like something to watch, don't see that much of it on youtube from what i can tell.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it. Keep watching and I’ll try to show you what I can.

[@FarmGearInnovators]

That header maneuver around obstacles was a nail-biter! Glad to see you got everything out of the field without too many issues.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It was close

[@nativeindian8672]

Good job thanks for letting us be apart of it.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

No problem glad you enjoyed it

[@ChristianKaasen]

Congrats with your bountiful harvest and the hard working combine - what a machine. Enjoy your videos here in Denmark

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks.

[@randywilson9611]

Great video good to see y'all

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joebufford2972]

I can't wait to see the next steps in harvesting

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I will try to film as much as I can

[@Grainexpress]

Ha! Funny that we finished our chip potato harvest the same time you finished wheat. We had a great yield this year even though June was dry but had them pivots spinning in circles. One field, 30 acres, is still hand lines so I feel your pain. LOL! We had 325 acres this year. Contracts were cut back a bit this year. Corn harvest starts next week so not much of a break for us in between crops. Just found your channel and enjoy the videos. Take care and stay safe!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Well, I’m glad you were able to get your potatoes in just curious what was your yield? We went from wheat directly into hay, and now we are going to get the potato equipment ready and will be doing potatoes in a few weeks.

[@juliancope1925]

Loved watching your harvest really enjoyed every video” I never miss one 👏👏🇬🇧

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

So nice of you. Thank you for watching

[@petergardner2334]

great to see ideal combine

It sure is!

Going to be interesting bailing those windrows in that last field. Looking forward to the next episodes, especially a better look at the teaser at the end :)

[@joebufford2972]

This should be involved in agriculture class or even maybe history as real time food production because children these days do not know where their food comes from

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’ve had a couple people say that I’ve even talked to the principal of my kids school, but I’m not sure if they’re interested

[@Arham7cheema]

Congratulations on finishing hervest early with advance equipment and you didn't make video on bailing straw while harvest session is finish When you will start to harvesting potatoes and also make a short potato crop thank you God bless you and your crop see you in next video

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We should be starting potatoes in about three weeks and I am working on a bailing video

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Nice to finaĺly hear a positive opinion on the Agco Ideal combines - usually hear of them going up in smoke because of some electrical fault or other, a la Mike Mitchell.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, we had a couple small issues but they were fixed fairly quick and we were still able to harvest 150 acres a day on the days we did have breakdowns

[@John-nc4bl]

@@RockyMountainFarmer I think that Europe would be an excellent market place for Gleaner combines since farms over there are generally smaller. Gleaner combines are shipped to Australia and also to South America. We need to keep our people employed.

[@lfeco]

Years ago in windrowed spring wheat I ran a skunk threw our JD 95. Running a raccoon threw wouldn't be quite so bad.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yes, skunks are nasty

[@mururoa7024]

Congrats on your new JD9520, but with JD nowadays being aggressively against self repair don't you have any concerns?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Well, we didn’t buy it. It was a demo. We were just testing it out.

Can't wait for spud harvest to see the new cellar equipment at work. We used Syncore on wild oats in barley. Have they become resistant to Syncore?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They are resistant to almost everything we have one other spray we will try next year

[@NielsBreum]

I really enjoyed the video. I'm curious, whats the row spacing of your wheat? Here in Canada nearly everybody is seeding with air seeders with row spacing @ 10 - 12 inches. Around here is all dry land farming, although we generally get sufficient rain to produce 70 - 100 bushel wheat crops.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Our spacing is 5 inches I believe. That’s pretty good yield for dry land

[@brianfansler3625]

SO KOOL HOW MANY BUSHEL TO THE ACER

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We probably averaged around 120 but won’t know exactly until we get the tickets from the mill.

[@Tranlock]

What crops are you guys planting besides potatoes and wheat?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

A little hay

[@coenbroosh]

Any updates on that vibration issue? Did it go away or did it get repaired? I know a farmer that runs 3 ideal 9 combines and he has never cleaned the radiators! On there 3e season now! That fan reverser works great

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They are going to take it in and look it over but they haven’t yet

[@motel581]

Also, here in cache valley, I’ve been noticing wild oats and a weed I call spurge in tons of our wheat fields. I’ve seen a few partially harvested & with sections im assuming they’re leaving in the ground because the weeds are so bad. With an older combine, would you guys be leaving bad patches of weeds too?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We’ve always had to deal with wild oats. With our old combine, it was hard to pick up the downed grain.

[@trudeehanson3177]

Amazing! Where can I get some of your wheat? I like to grind my own for flour.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We sell it all to the mill. I’m not not sure what they do with it.

[@1981FlyingV]

Maybe the wild oats are sticking to the pipe movers clothes. And when they are setting the hand line, the seeds fall off. Wild oats are insidious.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s a possibility

[@1981FlyingV]

I’m kind of surprised you don’t grow malt barley. Budweiser’s malting plant isn’t far away from your farm.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

The contracts aren’t that great right now

[@John-nc4bl]

@@RockyMountainFarmer I dont drink nor have I ever drank any alcoholic beverages and I recommend that people should refrain from taking it as it has causes too many problems with people. Thankfully I had good parents.

Its great to see the racoon baby's beating a hasty - and successful - retreat!

We all need to value those wild creatures before its way too late!.

not true, we do not suffer from overhunting or anything, in fact we have too much of everything and need more hunters.
