Good on y'all fellers for showin the hard work that goes into gettin ready to harvest - most people only see the romantic parts where you're puttin it in the soil or takin it back out again grown, they don't get to see the bulk of the work in there
I can remember our corn yields back in the early 70’s when we had a few real dry years. We were lucky to get 35-40 bushels per acre with the varieties we had back then . $2.50 corn but my first 715 IH combine was only $37,000 with both a grain head and a corn head. Everything is relative except it seems to me that equipment prices have increased exponentially! Good luck with the rest of your harvest!!
@@jocalafarms4051 about 500 acres of corn and beans. Some wheat but not much. Money crop was tobacco but in Maryland the Governor used the tobacco settlement monies to buy out the tobacco industry in the nineties. Development ate up much of the acres we rented for grain and forced many of us out of farming.
My dad bought our family farm in 1971 for $56,500 and all of the other farmers around there thought he "paid way too much". Now the county has that farm assessed for well over $2 million and corn prices haven't changed much. When my dad passes on it will go for development because I am the only one in the family that cares about it and I can't afford to pay $10,000 plus an acre to buy out my mother and my sisters and keep it as a farm.
Best Video of the year so far, really enjoyed it showing drought darmage, warts and all. Hope the rest of your crops are a bit better on the BPA results.
Hi Granny hope you are having a great week. Beautiful weather here in Michigan. Hopefully your weather is just as nice. TAKE CARE AND STAY COOL GRANNY !!!!!
Good morning Granny really sorry to hear about your corn where we are in Ohio we have been blessed with rain we should have a great crop as my grandfather would always say well maybe next year
Great video ! I enjoyed it from beginning to the end! I really liked the drone footage at the beginning with the background music. You're a very talented person who multi tasks. I like the exchanges you have with your dad and employees!
....funny how the modern farmer always leads off (upstairs or down) with his tablet....Always enjoy your videos! (notice this "comment" pleeze Mr. Al Gorythm...) No! But we really DO enjoy your content. (just usually glad we don't hafta do it our own selves...)
Granny Good Afternoon!! What a treat! Love the Drone video on the front end. Don't guess anyone is cutting prices they charge you because of the poor yields. Great Video Daniel!!
Thats a good dry land corn crop Daniel, we had a drought here in Kansas in 2022 and only got about 35 bu. acre average for our county. Anything around 80-100 bu. acre on dry land corn is nothing to feel bad about.
I lived in Selma most all my life. I used to work at gentrys when I was a teenager. I would love to see yells operation in action. Keep up the good work.
In south ga we have a lot of corn that burned completely up and didn’t even set a ear just a 6 to 7 foot stalk we went the month of June with no rain and 95 plus temps
Thanks for saving the rabbit, that was cool. Not against natural predators or circle of life, but removing the cover from the rabbits, it’s nice to give them a little help.
Greatings from the Netherlands Daniel!! Great video's 😊 Hoping and praying for water is one thing, but controlling it better. . . Irrigating is for shure a big investment but maybe a good solution? Go rabbit!!! Make some baby's 😂😂😂
How are those case combines I've been around the 80 models but not the newer ones like y'all have I've been around all Deere equipment growing up as a kid and as a grown up started off on a 4020 lol my dad was old school driveing those old ones when u just sit up there eating dirt and dust all day long but that was before my time I was born in 1978 the first tractor my dad taught me to drive was a 1969 and a half 4020 then the 70 and 80s deeres from a 4230 to the 8400 Been on them all
Daniel if you get air nozzle to close to the air element you can very easily blow a hole in the paper element. Dirt will kill an engine. ofcourse you know that.
@@davidwhisnant3230 Yep when I worked at a Southern States grain elevator/feed mill back in the day we had a box with a black light in it. We put a sample of corn in the box and if it glowed under the black light we rejected the load.
I hate to see your corn so dry, you'd figure that being in the south where it's so humid that your corn would never be bad. I never thought to see drought conditions in your neck of the southern United States. Hope your other crops fare better! Hello Grandma ma.
Happens more down here than people think. It’s either humid hot and rainy or humid and hot and miserable🤷🏻♂️ This time of year we can get rain on any day of the summer because of the humidity but then again about 5-6 years ago we went well over 120-130 days with no rain
Hey I haven't seen any thing behind the shredder, yall aint got a turbo harrow or something like one yall gone run to throw some dort on them stalks to hold them down from the wind or rain blowing them in the woods or in yalls ditches.idk if yall have a turbo harrow or anything you can accurately set the depth on and run 8 or 9 mph and it still level but I'd be lookin to throw some dirt on them or yall won't have much stalks breaking down in your dirt w as light and as shredded up as they are. Jus wondering wat yalls next step was gone be w them stalks before the wind and rain goes to workin on them
