We got our corn harvested last weekend and it feels so good! There are farms of all different sizes across our nation and they all do things a little differently, it's what makes American agriculture great!

Boy, i love farmin....i just subscribed and i see good farm ideas at work. Livestock and good feed. Raising the family immersed in the farm, very good. Lord bless and thanks for letting us see, learn, and be glad for the examples of good living from you. Peace 🕊

Love that you include Charlie in everything you do. He’s helping in his way. Very satisfying just watching the combine harvesting around and around.

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

Yes, it's part of the life. I don't know what we'll do if he ever looses interest in the farm.

Almost always people running old equipment for the first time forget that the corn they planted is about 30% larger than the maximum size the equipment was designed to handle. So the books are commonly way off in some settings. Great camera quality, btw.

@rockyknobfarms 2 года назад

That's an interesting thought! We never considered that before, thanks!

Lovely video, thank you for sharing. My 10 month old son (who likes his combiners!) and I just watched it this morning. We farm in the south of France near the Pyrenees - we would like to try growing corn eventually ourselves.

@rockyknobfarms 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! The combines and tractors seem to entrance little kids.

a little practice and you will be able to unload on the run. I have a 4400 combine and it works great.

@chickenjohnny3308 3 года назад

Good Job I love that your putting in the effort even against the odds. You will do fine every year will have its struggles. I notice the one critic you have has no videos of what he is doing. Anyone who has ever run machinery in the field will tell you, the fixing is half the prosses.

I love seeing your John Deere hard at work, but what is the red combine sitting in the yard and does it run

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

It doesn't run. It's the Case IH combine they used to run that is being pulled apart of parts and scrap metal when needed. They're much happier with the John Deere so far.

@kcphillips1000 2 года назад

A nice simple system you have going there ,nice looking combine that handles the corn well ,we call it Maize in the UK but have never grown it on my farm .Do you plough all that rubbish in after harvest ?

@rockyknobfarms 2 года назад

Thanks for watching Keith! We don't, we will leave all the corn stalks and bean stubble as it is to help prevent erosion throughout the winter. Depending on the field we may also graze the corn stalks with sheep or cattle. In the spring we run at least a disc over each field to help create the new seed bed.

@alexboensch9373 3 года назад

Just curious because I'm in the market for one too how mutch did you pay for the combine. Great video.

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

$7,000 for the combine and about $600 to get it to the farm

@504carl 3 года назад

I love 💓 watching these kind of videos but I have a question, why leave the bottom of the corn stalks?

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

Good question! They only need to cut the stalk a little below where the corn ears are hanging (for us, the rest of the plant doesn't really matter). You don't want to be too low to the ground so that you have less of a chance of picking up a rock. Rocks can cause a lot of damage. Some farms will then mow the bottom of the stalk off (like we did) and bale it for livestock bedding too

@504carl 3 года назад

Thanks for your help. Thumbs Up

@mbury8004 3 года назад

@@504carl that is because the combine don`t have to work with to much of the hard cornplant .

@dcw1540 3 года назад

Did you check your striped plats on the header. The one ear your wife picked up the big tire on combine had run over.thanks

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

I'll pass the message along! Thanks!

@loisgustafson1558 3 года назад

@@rockyknobfarms yes, I agree. Make sure your stripper plates are set proper, and also maybe run your head a bit lower to the ground to get under downed corn. A full ear of corn with kernels on it will never go through the combine and come out with all kernels intact. They are being missed at the head and driven over. Nice video!thanks for the post! Ron. Where are you located? I'm from Minnesota.

Does that intl combine work and have a corn head? Is it for sale?

@rockyknobfarms 5 месяцев назад

It does not work and has been sold for parts, just waiting for the ground to dry for the guy to pick it up.

@olewillvarner 3 года назад

Not my intention to be ugly but, you need to sell that green no picking machine and buy a caseIH combine if you want grain in the tank!

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

They had a red combine they've used for the past few years but it was starting to have a lot of issues. As a general rule they do prefer red to green but it also has to run! 😉

@nwpioneer2551 3 года назад

Great job on the video. But you have a lot to learn about corn harvesting. Pro's get excited about finding even a few kernels on the ground and when starting something new as you did they don't travel the whole field before making adjustments. More like a hundred feet at the most.

@rockyknobfarms 3 года назад

You're right but we don't claim to be pro's at anything. This was our first harvest with this machine and there are definitely some kinks to be worked out.
