@@aTrippyFarmer Yes, everybody and every geographical area has their own set! On our drier years we produce better yields than wetter years. Wet weather followed by tropical systems is our demise.
That needs to be a crazy life experience for your dad:raised on a fully mechanical small combine,to be at the peak fully automatic technology which is also satelite guided at his older age.
He was raised on open-station combines. The stories he and my uncles tell of those days are really something else. We sure have it easy nowadays compared to the older generations!
Yes we farm here in Mattoon, just to your South. I went to college at UIUC, so I am familiar with your area. I am sure that many farmers would love to hire you for part-time work.
Just Crazy That you bring out so much Harvest videos in the last day, because normaly you dońt really have the time for that when it's harvest time. Would like to see again how much you dump in a day! Greetings from Germany
I knew of a farmer in the late 80's who shelled a corn field a little wet in spots, he got a little grief from neighbors about ruts. He didn't say a word, a couple weeks later a tile plow showed up and set a pattern across the rutted spots, kinda pre gps/laser era, saved a bunch of time not having to shoot the whole field with a transit... Like you said king of your own kingdom...
Any day you can shell corn in September instead of November/December is good regardless of conditions. Playing in the mud can be hard on equipment, but not near as bad as waiting on a freeze then fighting snow, ice and steel that wants to shatter like glass...
@@kevincasady8992 if we get into November, something has gone horribly wrong. We are blessed with a climate that almost always provides us with adequate harvesting windows.
@@aTrippyFarmer where I live in North Central Missouri it's a crap shoot. One year in three not getting flooded is the normal. Over here mother nature needs a prozac...
Looks like corn harvest is in full swing. It is a good thing that you can pick corn when it is wet as apposed to beans. How did you get the parked truck licensed and inspected so fast?
Yes corn is much friendlier to harvest than soybeans, other than the sheer volume of the crop. We hustled first thing in the morning to get the truck licensed. Thanks for watching!
If you decide to replace your transmission rather than repair it. Do yourself a favor and call Kenworth of Effingham. I am assuming you will need a FR0-16210C-C or a FRO-16210C-P. They buy those in bulk.
I figured you would use your grain Bins. So would hurry up things and transfer later. But still trying to figure Your operational. By the way congratulations! 2021 model girl you have
@@aTrippyFarmer Was not trying to be critical sir. Will the toughest things you all have RU-vidrs his criticism. Most of it people do not know the whole situation just as me.
The soil out here is the best in the world he says….. well it was now it’s rutted up and ruined for a few years of production… Ohhhh ya that’s right John Deere sells big ole rippers … hence the wet ruts…🙄
One good freeze and you'll never know what happened next season... you can't always wait on "perfect" or you might miss your window completely. Thanks for watching!
120 lbs actual N with NH3, 30ish lbs actual N from DAP, and 100 lbs actual N with 32% UAN. Nitrogen management was one of the biggest differentiating factors this year. Fall NH3 was mostly gone by summer, and a sidedress pass was incredibly valuable.
I was just showing him something on his autosteer system. He is a million times more qualified to run that machine than me, but the newest generation of computers can be complicated.
I think we had like $10k of work done to our semi this past week. Nothing like waiting until we wanted to use it to find all that out! Lol we still haven’t got into any corn yet, been on beans all week, and it’s been a very slow process. On the bright side, our beans are yielding very consistently around 75, regardless of whether it’s on good or light ground.
@@aTrippyFarmer at this point, I’d trade you our semi for a combine. We have been able to keep up with 1 tandem going to the bin. I’ve been bored running the grain cart lol
