Hello and thanks for visiting! We are a 3rd generation, mid-sized family farm out of Preston, Iowa where we raise corn, soybeans, alfalfa, oats, cows, pigs, and chickens. We hope to provide some insight into how our operation runs while providing some awesome video with our 2 GoPros!
Kinda blows my mind that a 20 year old tractor has 6700hrs on it, we’re in dryland country up here in southeastern Alberta and I picked up a 2394 that is 38 years old with only 5900hrs on it this spring. Our big tractor an stx450 only has 4000hrs on it, we have a 4494 that was bought new and has 5000hrs on it and we also have a 1070 with 6700hrs on it. To us thats all high hour tractors besides the stx. Combines are both higher hours for out here too, 7120 with 2600 engine hours and a 2188 with 3750 engine hours. Definitely different areas of the world and not too far away from each other in the grand scheme of things
It's Pat's farm with his boy's. Ron is a cousin or nephew. Also has a full time job with John Deere before the farm. Some people I work for as a contractor don't want anything on social media of job done so be grateful of what is shown
Why do you say you’re fully loaded when really you’re only hauling half to three quarter loads when we used to chop corn we would fill our trucks right up
Ron strikes again a major expense for the bud man it's what Ron does best fuck things up so bad it turns into big huge money for the bud mans farm.. Never comes out of his pocket ever .... Now if he had to pay 💵💵💰💰 for the stuff he breaks he would not be breaking stuff all the time
Any chance you could run electric fence so you could let cattle graze the corn stubble to eat the dropped partial ears. Run bloat blocks to avoid any gastral issues. Are the kernels immature enough to not sprout next spring?
Picking or cutting. Why not just call it harvesting? I love the very brief time in the fall when the soybean fields are a golden yellow. Wishing you a safe and bountiful harvest. God bless.
That cow doesn't owe you anything. My Dad used to look for Hereford bulls with a dark circle around the eyes for that reason. Apparently cows with rings around the eyes wouldn't get eye cancer. We still used to get one every 2, 3 years (with 150 Hereford cows).
Hi Ron just curious how many people are in on the family farm and does everyone have an equal share ? Does everyone punch a time clock or does everyone have their own personal land and cattle? Just curious how all involved remain happy.
