Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos. You can also find me on Facebook borderviewfarms and on Instagram @borderviewfarms

Hey there Nathan and Brock, I hope this finds you all well? 🙏 Nathan, when I send you a link, information, or maybe a suggestion, I obviously have no idea what you have, or have not seen, heard, or know about, so when you're disgusted about something else, I don't think you should tell myself, or any other of your subscribers, "yeah, I know, don't send me any links" in a dismissive tone. I hope y'all have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

Well Nathan, you’re too young for a gentleman to need a light like that that’s for us old guys😂. Thank you very much, sir for the video I appreciate it!!! And that is a beautiful daughter.

@grazycooter Год назад

Love the video! Why don't you make a screen box with some pipe and a mess or chicken wire dat is big and put your pipe in there. You have a big screen en easy te move.

@alexmikhael5061 Год назад

does your fancy dancy new head lamp have a USB CHARGER JACK on it to RECHARGE IT???? or does it use those little COIN 2025 or wutever BATTERIES?????? ....I have a HAT with lights on the bill, and one like that headlamp you have, that BOTH use the 2025 COIN BATTERIES and last about 4 hours... hat lasts longer with a ''navigate a trail kinda light'' NOT A FIND SOMETHING AMOUNT OF LIGHT... low lumins I am talk here... BUT..... I just got one from ''police security'' (the name of the company) unit is called MORF R230 REMOVABLE HEADLAMP ...the one with the removable cube ... IT USES AAA BATTERIES, we have several 1500 or 2100 or wutever MAh extra power, more than the cheepo 800MAh rechargeables... anyhow, it's pretty slick, the CUBE has built in rechargable batt, the cube holds on by a strong magnet, could be an issue, BUT when the CUBE is removed there IS 2 little lights that light up not the HIGH BRIGHTNESS BUT BRIGHT ENUF TO SEE THE SNAKE ABOUT TO BITE YOU !! :) or spider at your feetz... ;) anyhow... it's pretty AWESOME SO FAR!!! :) it was one of my FATHERSDAY PREZZENTS!!! :) COIN BATTERIES or rechargable headlamp thingie??? :)

@alexmikhael5061 Год назад

and it will STAY BRIGHT .... untill....... U N T I L ....... one of your rugrats errr miniU's get ahold of it and go SPELUNKING in the BASEMENT with all the lights turned off....... ;) LOL which is why I askededed up there ^^^^^ rechargable or COIN BATTERIES?? :)

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

3 AAA

@alexmikhael5061 Год назад

oh cool!! :) that's better than the COIN BATTERIES...!!!!! well my opinion, I don't have a bunch of hand scanners or wutever that run on them lol

@mrdio4625 Год назад

TRUTH , I was sitting here mid comment "Get Mark to fab up a screen box for the pump head" , when you say he fixed you up.What would you do without him.

@deionsharpe5139 Год назад

Hey Nathan, your idea of putting a screen upstream, blocking some more of that debris also, but your dad made a pretty cool diverter around the pipe, but if it starts acting up again I would put your 💡 idea to give it a try 🙂

@alexmikhael5061 Год назад

...would be prolly good thing to put a 6 inch or so even just a small amount, DIVERTER up at the upstream dugout point, just to SHUVE the stuff a little THAT WAY JUST ENUF.... well even if it was screen it would get clogged up and then become a WALL in the water... soo too big of a wall will be issue too (was the point stuck in there somplace lol) but I also suggest SCREEN2.0 include a little thingie upstream ;)

CAN YOU GUIDE ME WITH IF WE CAN USE THIS SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION WITH TREES? LIKE GOOSEBERRY TREES FULLY GROWN

@stanbrow Год назад

The definition of what a river or creek is is VERY localized. When we were in Iowa, there was. River that I could walk across ( on stones) without getting my feet wer. If memory serves me correctly, it was 3 to 5 feet wide. Here in Charleston SC, there is a creek that ocean going pleasure boats can sail up.

@mikemulligan4117 Год назад

I'm sure you've already considered tying a float the end of the suction line that will leave the intake submerged enough to not cavitate, but keep it off the bottom?

@dekr3415 Год назад

That was a great video man, the drone footand music you selected was awesome

@butterbeanfarmer7952 Год назад

@bigt2871 Год назад

Cant wait for wheat harvest!! The swath of water looks so small moving across the field! We are getting a nice rain this morning across the whole state of Iowa, I pray it makes its way to the east!!

@patrickaherne3598 Год назад

I keep looking at those clouds and praying for rain for you guys.

@richardsnyder9271 Год назад

We got 3 tenths down by Whitehouse yesterday. Take everything we can get. The rain came out of the north. Hopefully Berkey got some first.

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

Almost a half inch at Berkey!

@greaterdesigns1 Год назад

Also, how many feet of pipe do you have? It doesn't seem that length is really causing a problem for you.

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

We have approximately 3,700 feet in 6" aluminum.

@bfd1565 Год назад

I watched that line of rain slowly evaporate prior to reaching your farm yesterday.

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

Yep. Had a decent rain at our Berkey Fram though

A river screen can operate in very shallow water. They claim as little as 4 inches. But I have no idea what they cost.

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

Interesting, how do they not suck air? I have to have more than a foot of water or it will form a whirlpool and start pulling in air.

@deancook6832 Год назад

@@BorderViewFarms They suck from the bottom of a pipe only.

@bertiethomas960 Год назад

Hi Nathan could you dam up the river/creek and make pond for the screen to sit in???....it might let the debris float over the top rather than floating close by the screen.....just an opinion from someone who knows nothing about any of this lol....keep the videos coming....cheers

@NelsonBigGunP200Fan 8 месяцев назад

Ah yes. Your dad had the bright idea! That screen oughtta keep the nasty stuff away from your suction line! Dont wanna starve the pump! Every once in a while when running smaller sprinklers i pump out of a retention pond and it'll pull rocks in that get caught in the nozzles of the sprinklers and i'd have to shut it off and clean out the heads! just taking the nozzle out and running the pump for a minute to flush out all of the rocks or debris. I do have a screen on my suction hose, but these rocks are small and can get caught in the spreader or range nozzles of my impacts. Of course using the big guns they dont get clogged due to the big nozzles! Thanks for sharing! Your gun gets good range in that field! This is a hobby for me i've loved irrigation since i was little, I was born in 78 so as a kid i got to see a lot of the fast reverse nelson big guns running, those were my favorite!

@stanbrow Год назад

Love the drone footage of the irrigation, why does it swing further on one side than the other?

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

Because I don't have it adjust quite right

@alexmikhael5061 Год назад

have you ever priced how much it would be to run pipe underground out to the middle of the fields that are along the river??? ((if I win the lotto....)) just wondering :) even if it was 12 year ago priceing.... ballpark idea good enuf...

@Noname77331 Год назад

Dad to the rescue‼️

@BoreFarms Год назад

We made a basin (not sure what you call it...) in our river with a inlet pipe facing downstream so you don't get all the gras and whatnot in to the basin.

@b_lumenkraft Год назад

WOW what a lovely and dreamy song for the drone footage.

@hfff1 Год назад

Nathan, I know where you can get one of those float river filters. It will require some midnight requisition?🙃🙃

@claudemiller1287 Год назад

Hey Nathan , enjoyed your video as usual. I would like to know the name of the artist and the music that you played during your drone footage. I really liked it. Good luck and hopefully you'll see rain soon.

@thelunatick1993 Год назад

Knew someone originally from Arizona (Tucson?) who thought a river is usually a dry.

@jimpolk Год назад

Nathan, why only rotate 190°? Why not 340° ish?

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

I don't have a good answer other than that's how I was told to do it. Further rotation would make my center path muddier though

@jimpolk Год назад

@@BorderViewFarms ok. Thanks.

@Nappylou69 Год назад

LOL thats what i was gonna say to build around the inlet for your pump just a cheap screen! nice that will work.

@markarnold25 Год назад

Glad you finally got some rain. Hopefully you get more this week.

@greaterdesigns1 Год назад

Is that trailer setup also for applying fertilizer? Is it also it's own generator?

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

Yes it does inject fertlizer and no there is a separate generator powering the pump

@greaterdesigns1 Год назад

@@BorderViewFarms I would love a walk-thru of your tank+equipment trailer there. I am looking to get a traveler for next season and need some ideas for fertilizer application to go with it.

@billybagdanoff8672 Год назад

Have you ever taken a water sample out of that river/crick to see how much extra nitrogen, boron etc that you are adding? We have a well we pump from that supplies all the nitrogen we need just thru irrigation due to added nitrogen being pushed down thru the root zone and back into the water table.

@greaterdesigns1 Год назад

I am Curious if you found that your bicarb levels from well water are hurting your yields. I am thinking of putting a well in but just heard from ExtremeAg that Kelly's well water was hurting his yields.

@stanbrow Год назад

So, would it be a safe assumption that all of the fields you farm, which have building sites on, are rented? I am assuming you guys woukd not sell a lot for a building site on fields you own, correct?

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

No, it's not safe to assume that. We have sold building sites off before, but most of the time, whoever is selling either keeps the house or sells them separately.

@brucerleech Год назад

Thank you

@empirestate2536 6 месяцев назад

Good Work

@thelunatick1993 Год назад

Could you place a block under the inlet so it sits above the creek bottom. Piece of tile. Or wire to a fence post. I had a similar thought as you dad uncle.

@glennrhinehart3186 Год назад

Is there more compaction on your irrigation field.

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

Just in the lane where I drive all the time

@glennrhinehart3186 Год назад

The reason I ask is,down here I’ve been told that in fall tillage is usually a gear lower. Under a pivot

@timwasserman1063 Год назад

Do you need a license to fly the drone?

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

For commercial use yes

@bfd1565 Год назад

I forgot to mention my concerns about your fuel trailer growing legs and walking away in the we hours of the night. I would imagine it has to have some kinda security GPS tag built within but they're always that one person in every neighborhood that likes to lurk like a Ninja in the night.

@bfd1565 Год назад

@@BorderViewFarms Nothing a simple farm jack/bulldog jack couldn't handle. By the time you wake up. That gas trailer is crossing the Oklahoma state line.

@thelunatick1993 Год назад

Get yourself some apple tags. Place two but one in a very very unusual location.

@BorderViewFarms Год назад

@bfd1565 true but not being able to retract the leg would make it difficult to pull. I suppose if someone wants it bad enough it doesn't matter what I do.

@bfd1565 Год назад

@@BorderViewFarms You already retracted the leg when you leveled it out. Jack it up on a truck hitch and you'll have that minimum 4" clearance. I'm not sure what gauge thickness the trailer jack is but with today's new saw blades and cordless tools. That trailer during our conversation this morning is already in Texas heading across the boarder direct to Guatemala. No fuel stops nessary... L0L.
