#Farm #Illinois #Fall #Harvest #FarmingSimulator22
Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Love your videos. Looking forward to planting season getting started, as is about everybody else following you. Realizing that time can often be precious but as my family historian, I would really urge you to have that talk with your dad, uncles and other older family members while you can. Once they are gone, if it's not written down or in your head, the stories are gone too. And there are just so many great family stories that are floating around every family. The fact that you are curious about them is great. Keep up the good work.

Andy, we put 4x4 strips 16” apart parallel to the auger trough with a trimmed 20’ bin floor cross ways in our harvestore. Flashed and a homemade cover over the opening up to the floor level with a side fan mount. Use a center well and another next to the door, works great and can air the grain, just not enough bushels. Have a great spring.
@aTrippyFarmer
@aTrippyFarmer Год назад
That would be an easy way to convert them. We have another set of harvestores elsewhere that have the aerated floor, but we don’t use them anymore. They are nice to have, though they aren’t really that much storage for the trouble.

Some people will defend their preferred color of power tool to the death, like they will defend their preferred color of tractor. From what I've seen with commercial contractors and full time trasesmen, there are a lot more DeWalt power tools on site than there are Milwaukee. I actually prefer Makita, but it seems that DeWalt and Milwaukee are the Ford and GMC pickups of power tools, and Makita is the Toyota. I suppose that wanting to stay with the same battery platform as their other tools is a consideration for many. And I love that you're getting sponsors. Rock on.
@aTrippyFarmer
@aTrippyFarmer Год назад
Thanks, Dave! I agree. It is really more of a battery game at the end of the day. You’re going to stick with what you’ve got unless there is a major reason to transition. I like Milwaukee and dewalt both!

It’s a good price and a very good amount of power. The batteries for my toolset seems to last longer than either big brand. I charged my 1/2 inch impact battery a few weeks ago and since I have done a dozen or so tires with it and it still shows 2 out of 3 lights on the battery

you are posting these videos letting us see a world that we wouldnt otherwise be able to see, and because of that i feel like i need to give a suggestion. in this video you have a bunch of waste from corn spillage, the way to fix that is to have the auger moving corn up into the truck further away, and also to have a funnel you connect from the silo 'gate' whatever it is called, to the auger or belt. seccond is something wihch will sound gross, but would help. in this video you have to get into the silo because there isnt enough of an angle on the inner platform. the corn initially pours out due to sheer level, and head pressure. the head pressure is just like in plumbing, and as long as you have grain all the way above the window it will pour out. this is cause the grains above are pushing the grains below. the last bit of grain you have to manually shovel out is where the natural sheer line occurs. if you match that angle with concrete, your silo will lose a bit of vollume, but also it will fully pour itself empty. here is the gross thing. in sewer design you need the mix of solids and liquids to continuously move. this means that there is a specific angle of incidence necessary to maintain flow. the less agressive the angle, the further it will reach, but also the easier it is for clogs to develop. the natural angle created by the corn not pouring itself out isnt the best angle, but it is the easiest angle to implement. you could be more aggressive, but being too aggressive will cause failure. and if you do a redesign, you will want to not have to climb in the thing at all. it is about climbing in, not about how long you are in there. if i was in your shoes, id pour a new slab with slight worse angles than the grain seems to need- to have more storage than necessary. and if there is a shop class in a local highschool, id see if anyone wants to retrofit the silos like this.
