We're a sugar beet farmin’ family in the Red River Valley of North Dakota!
Our farm specializes in growing sugar beets, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, corn, soybeans, and various types of dry edible beans. The legacy currently consists of my dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, and I (Beet Farmin Mitch).
I am a 6th generation family farmer recently graduating with college degrees in both Agricultural Economics and Crop and Weed Sciences. Enjoy as I showcase our operations everyday work, grow as a young farmer, be a goofball, and walk out the most important thing to me. My love for King Jesus!
My hope is that you may be entertained and spurred on to grow in your passion and knowledge for all things agriculture!
I was surprised that you had only one combine going and only one truck. I am not a farmer but from out west, Alberta. When it combine time you see at least 10 working.
There’s being religious but this dude takes it too a whole other level. I wonder if they give a guy a heads up about it when they are looking for help? I would be more tired from constantly making sure I didn’t cuss than the long days.
The Corn Farmers down in Alabama are mounting large plastic water tanks (200 gal?)on the from of the grain cart tractors with 12v pumps with 100' industrial 3/4 or 1" water hose with spray nozzle for FIRE PREVENTION in case a combine catches fire.
Great content thank you, just came across your channel today. I also love listening to the bible or podcasts in the tractor cab here in the UK, it’s a great way to keep your faith strong and centred on Jesus while doing your work :) God bless you brawd !
Great channel and content......maybe where the tree was down was that unharvested corner they were required to leave in the Old Testament in the book of Ruth!❤
Hi Mitch, I'm from the north end of the Saginaw valley area in Michigan. Although I'm not a farmer I drive semi for a farmer during harvest. We pretty much grow the same crops, except our wheat is all winter variety, both white and red. First time I've seen, what you call a " bolter" since I was kid. We used to go out about this time of year with a corn knife and cut them off. Thanks for the great video, catch you later. Al
May I ask what denomination your faith is? Mine is nondnominational, I'm a 78 yr old born again rapture ready Christian man from west central Mn. Can't wait to go Home and see my wife again! Nicely done videos Mitch, God bless you and yours! Ron. I'm retired from agriculture.
I believe he's in the AFLC (Association of Free Lutheran Congregations). The church he shows in the intro is AFLC. He also had the AFLC hymnal on a bookshelf behind him in one of his videos.
So happy for you all to have such an amazing harvest. Pray that the wheat prices don’t collapse with the abundance but there’s little to be done about it. Still, take the blessings as they come. Love the inspirational message you’re providing, we all need reminders.
The other 3'x5' flag in the yard next to Old Glory is the Christian Fish symbol with the American flag filling the fish, surrounded by the Bold Print "PROUD AMERICAN CHRISTIAN "
Our wheat average was 135 bushel per acre and a couple fields was 150 bushels per acre then we planted double crop soybeans. Our agronomist is saying we're gonna average 150 on beans and 340 on corn.
Good point! It means the grain is running rough through the combine and not smoothly. It happens at the end of the day when the sun goes down. It rumbles more and can plug the machine easier.
Great question! I have our GPS planting lines loaded into all the combines. I used AFS connect (Case software) to transfer them. We run the same lines but we have to remark every pass as they do not line up with each other perfectly. I think Case has some new software and whatnot for that but it’s not a big deal to remark for now.
