Our Entire Season DEPENDS On This Storm... 

Oh Nick, your hurt is so evident in uour voice. I am praying for you all as hard as i can. Please dont lose hope, we're all rooting for you. God bless, and keep us updated.

Funny coincidence, over here in germany the rain just won't stop. We're just waiting for things to dry up and to start harvest. Good luck and god bless you and your crop.

God bless. Hope the rain keeps coming slow and steady.

really hope you get the rain you need, and it's really nice to have video updates. I would also like to see an update on the house for both of you, it has given me great interest and I like what you are creating. we pray together with you from Norway for a good year 🙏🏻

I hope your rain total is what you needed! As I know you all will keep the faith and hope. Good crops are coming!! Blessings and thanks for sharing.

I feel for you guys. I have been praying for you guys for the last four years, I thought this was going to be your year. Keep your chin up better days are coming

Praying you get the rain needed. I know its been a hard past couple of years!! Thankful you all know the Lord and trust in him!! May He encourage your hearts!!

Your resilience in facing a season-defining storm exemplifies your unwavering determination and commitment. Your ability to navigate challenges with such steadfastness is truly admirable, ensuring the success and continuity of your endeavors. Wishing you strength and favorable outcomes as you weather through. And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.

Praying for u guys. I’m in central Minnesota and drought broke and we are now really wet . Southwest Minnesota is swamped. Really hoping u guys get the rain seen Mike Mitchell’s farms has gotten a bunch. It will come believe in the lord and yes keep your head up. Blessings to you and family and thanks for producing for the nation

Praying for rain for you all ! 🙏 It sure was solid start, farming is a day-to-day gamble it seems. Enjoyed the longer video Ty for sharing ! God Bless

Like this comment if you wanna see another equipment tour!

I have watched you guys for several years now the way you work hard the way you fix things instead of buying new. I know and realize its a struggle. I pray every year that you will have a bumper crop so much that the bins won't hold it. Thank you for sharing your way of life with us.

Praying for you and your family to receive the rain you need. Keep your faith and God will provide. Amen

I have been praying for you all and your rain since winter. Please keep us updated. This is the report I have been waiting for, and your trust in the Lord is just what was expected.

Living here in Northern Ireland, we always have rain but it hurts us to see others who are constantly in need of rain. We pray for farmers like yourselves and hope that your harvest can be good.....keep the chin up Nick...the lord has a plan.

Slow and steady are the best rains. Let that rain soak in. We are a fruit farm in SW Ontario. Apples peaches apricots cherries plums....... We are fortunate we were able to build a large irrigation pond. A well keeps the pond full when we are irrigating. Shallow water table here. However, 1 inch of rain will do what 3-4 inches of irrigation will do. It is so amazing what a little rain can do. AMAZING! Keep hoping and praying. It will come for you. The Pete is looking great. Nice job guys.

Thanks for another great video Welkers. It was most informative and interesting and lots to digest on the crops. Nick, heartfelt thanks to you for your detailed analysis of the crop situation!!! I thought you did a magnificent job of explaining how your soil and your area and the different crops you grow interact with the moisture they get. Your in depth explanation helped me understand your specific crops the best I have ever heard. You boiled everything down to easy to understand definitions on each one of your crops. I have listened to it several times now and feel you gave us an excellent insight into your crop status. Super job Nick on doing that. Understand how critical moisture is to your crops at this time. I am sending your farm operation my prayers and blessings for more rain moisture each and every day!!!!!!! May God bless your area with moisture to give your crops the support it needs to thrive!!!!!!!! Amen 🙏!!!!!!!!! Now back to the new truck. Looking good I must say. Getting down to the last few items so it is ready for the road. Seems some of the last items just take a while but you all are getting there. The new truck is looking amazing!!! Close to ready for that test drive to check everything out. Yeah!!!!!! Good video. You all gave a good understanding of the truck status which was appreciated. The crop situation report you gave Nick , I thought it was absolutely the best I have ever heard and understood!!!! Feel I have an excellent feel for your crop situation. You did a great job I thought!!!!! Once again, my prayers for more rain moisture for the Welker crops!!!!! May God watch over you ALL!!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve. PS. I have thought about your crop report very much as I stared above. But what I feel I want to add , but didn’t, is the personal and emotional toll this takes to wait for this moisture for your crops. I want each and everyone of you to know you have my heartfelt support Always. And I feel I can say all of your followers are right in step with their support also. Just felt I needed to say you all have that personal support which we often don’t openly talk about. You all hang in there, lots of thoughts are thinking of you, God bless my dear friends!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

East Central MN, lot of acres did not get planted due to rains. Now affecting haying too.

Brothers we are praying for y'all. We are needed rain in a bad way here in Pinehurst Georgia to. Some of our dryland cotton has started blooming out of the top which means it is through.

As far as I'm concerned you guys have the absolute best farming channel out there.

My prayers for rain you and for you. May the Lord bless you and your fields with rainfall.

So happy to see that rain. Thank you, Lord.

I would love to send some of the rain from here your way. We have flooding and dam failures. It's been really crazy. I'm praying things get better for you and you have a good crop this fall. Please stay safe, and God bless.

Praying for rain! God is good! Us dairy farmers in Wisconsin are swimming and the corn looks horrible but we will trust in God no matter the outcome.

heavy rain just washes over the ground light rain ging for a few hours just lets the plants and the ground to soak it into the plants plus the Nitrogen from the atmosphere just gives the plants the boost they need to keep going guys everyone who follows you are always praying for y.all

Praying for that help you need from up above after the years that I’ve seen you have you should have a turn at some success and relief god bless praying and just know this carpenter loves his farmers

We Farm in South West Saskatchewan and have been in drought for 8 consecutive years including this year. I feel your pain my friend. It is so frustrating to do everything right but come short of RAIN.

Praying for your family and your crop.

Prayers that you get rain soon, and that you will continue to get sufficient rains ahead so you get good yields.

Your neighbor to the North is getting plenty of rain after yrs of drought. Keep the faith brother.

Thank you, praying for rain for all farmers in need. God will provide for us all. Cheers God bless.

I just stopped and prayed that you get water, because you work so hard to get a good crop and to make a profit. I really love watching all the different thing's you do on the channel, so thank all of you. G-d bless.

I pray for guys and for rain. I'm not a farmer but, its been hot and dry here in Utah also. God has this. Faith young man. You'll see you worried for nothing. I'm a worrier to. God bless you all.

Thanks for what you do for us; trusting in the Lord; and hanging in. I have been praying for you, your family, and your neighbor farmers! God bless you!

Prayers from Georgia,we need rain too,so know you're feelings.Great to see it started.!

Great video. This one actually gives a learning lesson. The explanation of the nodules on the roots was great. It is also amazing that you said the Wheat takes a lot more water and the ground has been sucked dry, as the Peas are drawing slowly from the dirt.

It’s so hard not to be so discouraged. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to watch.And yes, Larson’s are having a horrible year bc of too much rain. Their crops drowned out. They replanted, rain kept coming. I know, I know; “that’s farming”. Here in PA our skies look like grids from seed clouding or “weather modification”. We never see a deep blue sky bc they spray so much crap in it. Why don’t they spray in Montana? I know Tennessee just shut down chem-trail spraying. I’m not suggesting they pollute your sky like ours, but even if they just seeded the rain clouds you’re seeing now it would’ve produced enough rain to do wonders for your state. Instead they seed ahead of big storms in areas that don’t need it, then there’re massive floods like in Florida last week.

Prayers for your family and all the other farmers. Lord’s Blessings.

Praying for you guys, we have more rain than we need in Wisconsin, I believe you have family here so you probably know that.

Thanks for the crop update! Here in NW Wisconsin, we are overly Blessed with rain...aka...tooo much, very wet. So, and I know you do, is put it in our Heavenly Fathers Hands ✝.

Crazy how mother nature works, areas in Manitoba have got over 20” of rain. Most of the fields are under water. Hopefully some of that heads your way. 🌈☀️🌦️🌧️⛈️💦

I really care for you guys. You're a wonderful family and great people individually. I understand it's hard to watch it dry up. It seems like 10 years out of 12 ...or more are far below "average". So it's hope and basically only hope that keeps things moving forward. We are a resilient species. Perspective is important friend. You guys have new houses, nice vehicles, and are able to support big families. It's not going that well for a lot of us out here. This series of drought in the 30's, completely wiped out huge numbers of people. That doesn't really happen anymore. At least not on the scale it used to. It's gonna be alright, friend. The standard of living for subsequent generations of folks from Northern Montana has steadily increased over time. I know it's not fun. But it's certainly not as bad as it could be, or has been. How's the vacation property on Flathead Lake coming along?! See...? It's gonna be alright partner. Hang in there.

Stay strong in faith, it (rain) will come… only a fellow farmer knows your struggles

I pray you get the rain you need so your crop can survive I really enjoy your channel god bless

Focus on abundance and plenty, Nick. Stay faithful, bud!

We have been droughting in MN for the last three years but this year we are flooding everywhere. I thought for sure you guys would be out of it since we are at least right now anyway. Praying for you!

Hey Hollywood I feel your pain here in Australia I was born at the start of of 14 year drought. I'm 29 now and we have had 3 awesome years in a row. Hope you guys get a few awesome years to come

Fortunately we have had good weather, we got to plant earlier and we have had the right mix of sun and rain... Corn for us this year and we will probably run the same again next year to help in replenishing our soil nutrients... We had three years of bad as well.. Yep, trust the Lord and He will deliver..!! Sending prayers your way..!!

Pray for your rain. In South Central MN we have the exact opposite. Too much rain in june. River flooded the town and dams failing. Family lost a bunch of acres and a few fields put into into PP

Awesome video . Thank you so much guys

Praying for y’all some need rain buddy. I know y’all work y’all butts off and I been there when I use to farm. In La. you don’t begged for rain to much but it happens here to!! Praying for rain for y’all and all the the farmers to have a great crop. Love watching y’all videos!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Wishing you good luck on the next rain storm. I would gladly give you some of ours here in Southern Brazil Rain for next 5 days! It is terrible how one area is over saturated and then others are completely dry! Also love how you not only fix things but you make them look pretty when you are done! Good Luck!

We have fields that are planted and are completly under water right now from all the rain..Praying for ya'll that you get rain!!! Lord knows we dont need anymore of it here.

In west lower michigan, we are SOOOOO wet. Wish we could have let you have several inches we got but didnt need in the last 3 weeks. Dry beans planted and seeds rotted in the ground.

Praying for rain and a bountiful crops.

Hoping you got rain...in the right amounts to thrive this season. Questions: 1. Have you thought about ripping deep...break the hardpan? 2. Is there any chance of you guys drilling irrigation wells and installing a pivot or two?

Someone tell Leg Arms he's using the wrong A/C fittings. The truck came with A/C beadlock fittings where the ferrule (crimp collar) is pinned in the fitting and can't be slipped off, therefore can't be reused, as opposed to a barb fitting. The beadlock has grooves cut in the pipe instead of barbs so it can't hold the hose on by itself. The ferrule collar that is pinned to the beadlock is what holds the pipe on. The correct repair if the rest of the fitting is needed is to cut off the beadlock and braze on a barb. Barb ends are available just for this.

It see😢you guys have our weather about a week after and right now in Western Washington State we are having temperatures in the high 80’s to 90’s and it’s going to be a week before rain North of Seattle. I Pray every day for you guys to get the proper precipitation. I ask in Jesus Name please 🙏🏼 Bless our Farmers with the proper precipitation for a thriving Crop that has been years since they had one!❤️😌🖖🏼🇺🇸

you are fortunate to have Gov't programs we dont have those so last 3 years have been really tough for us up here in NE Saskatchewan but thankfully i do have a full time job to carry me through but this year we are having good rain. Hopefully it continues.

Hoping and praying the farmers in Montana get the rains they need 🙏

Glad you got some moisture. Farming is tough like that can do everything right ultimately the weather has the final say. I am in central Canada and it is very wet. Take care and hope the rain keeps coming.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="641">10:41</a> Nick, excellent explanation of your crop status. Perfectly understandable for a lay person like myself. Keep up the good work and God Bless.

Thank you for the lesson on the growing of your crops. You explained it in very good terms that I could understand.I really like and enjoy your you tube videos. Please keep them coming and I like the way you explain what is going on. Thank you very much.

And most people have absolutely no clue how ingredients for food get made and that all this stuff just doesn't magically appear in the shelfes of the supermarket. 🤷‍♂️ Btw: ironically Europe is getting trenched in rain since the spring. Lot's of cities got flooded several times and the rainy weather simply doesn't stop. This is the other extreme... 😕

The blue tractor is looking great can’t wait to see it hauling those bushels off the farm!!

Im pulling for you, you guys are such good people. I live in southeast Nebraska, in a small farm town of about 1,800. The county next door north of us pretty much got wiped completely out by hail Saturday night, I'm praying for them now.

T&Ps for you guys to get the needed rains for a good harvest!!! You guys so much effort into and definitely deserve a good yield this season hopefully it’ll happen for you guys!!!

Hard work never goes unrewarded. Sometimes the rewards (when they come) maybe in a different form than expected. God Bless y'all and your families. It's after the 4th when I caught this video. Happy Birthday America 🇺🇸.

Very interesting about the plant growth. Glad you got the rain that we saw and hopefully more. 🧠🙏🙏🙏

Howdy Nick, I hope ya'll are doing well, Sorry to see your struggling to get the rain you need, and very little moisture, the good thing is lentils need to be stressed to produce a good crop, still praying ya'll get some good rains, Stay safe, God Bless

Saskatchewan is very wet this year. To the point where most low areas are flooded. Some farmers reseeding lower areas. A week ago we got 3.5" in west central Saskatchewan and its impacted alot of areas. I'm not a farmer but I haul oil and it has been a lot of down time due to rain.

Good explain for the pepole thats dosent farm. I suffer with you guys and will pray for you. Keep up the good work. God bless

First year since 2019 we’ve had good rain.. so good we couldn’t get some replanted for the 3rd time.😂 one of these years you’ll get a some drought breaking weather.

Here in my part of Md everything is burning up with lack of rain an temps in the mid 90s. We're probably a week away from a completely failed corn an soybean crop

So far we've had the exact opposite problem in Minnesota. We've had way too much rain and I couldn't get anything planted because of that

Great info! Love these style videos. So relaxing to see those beautiful fields

We are 2 hours north from where you are, I have driven past your place a number of times years back, and we have had quite a bit of rain.🇨🇦

I admire your resiliency.

Here in Central NY, we are still in the corn belt, no knee high by the 4th of July this year that I have seen. A foot high, maybe. Hay seems to be doing well. Soy beans are a few inches tall. Plenty of rain, but we are not getting nearly the snow fall we had in the past.

Good vid. Explained your conditions very well. Thanks for sharing your family's endeavors. God Bless

Hope you guys got/get the rain you need. As hard as you work, you certainly deserve it.

Bob subsoiled a field 2(3?) years ago. Did you ever get enough rain to find out if it helped your yield?

Keep you head held high hope you get enough rain to keep the crops happy!!!

Thank you for sharing Nick. I know that couldn’t be easy to share.

👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻 WE'RE all praying for the moisture to come!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 The update on the truck shines a bright spear of light into the whole situation!!! GOD BLESS THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

They predicted rain here in east Texas 25 inches so far . Then it went straight to hot temperatures. We didn't plant anything this year . Way too much rain. Hopefully we will next spring. Send you some rain .

rain keep comming the crops need more.🤩👍✌

South of the Oklahoma Panhandle we have had less than 2" since January 7th, 6 months ago. The kochia weeds grew 3" tall and died.

Praying for more !!

its all across the US. southern Virginia corn is desperate for rain. the farmers down here are watering the tobacco fields just to get a crop. we finally have started getting rain this week from this storm in the guld but we also had no rain for about a month or so and its been 95 degrees since the end of may

Keep goin boys! It’ll rain it’ll get better. Another day going is a good day, even if it’s a hard one.

Praying you get the moisture needed for a bountiful crop. The paint scheme on the "new" 377 really goes well with the Welker Farms logo. Should look sharp when you put the decals on the doors.

Oh man I wish you could take our rain in Manitoba. Have 18 inches this year

Hang in there boys …The glory is in the struggle💥🤙👊

Hope your season is still on track… Watched this the other day, looking forward to updates. My step father farmed most of his life and this was a common story over the years

I hope yall get a couple of inches of slow slow rain! Y'all stay safe! Oh I live on the Texas Gulf Coast, we have a hurricane out in the Gulf! But as of right now, it does not look like it's going to be that bad here where I'm at! But it's supposed to hit Texas. Hope everybody stays safe!

Praying for more. ❤

The lord works in mysterious ways, praying for you and your families. Take care.

Thanks guys appreciate you posting the videos. Always interested in what you are doing and how the farm is going on your side of the planet, I’m in the eastern grain belt in Australia, the opposite end of the planet opposite seasons we plant roughly at the same time and harvest roughly at the same time Some things are very different and other things are exactly the same, but at the end of the day just trying to grow crops to make a living for our families and feed the world. God bless. Hope the season turns out excellent for you.

Praise god here in south east Alabama it started out in the spring extremely wet then it got really hot and dry thank god we been getting some rain every few weeks
