Welker Farms 2016 - Part 3 - Harvest 

Thank you! It doesn't seem like a big deal because we've been brought up doing this since we are little and it is just how we live life.

Thank you Mikael! We will continue as long as we can and keep bread and donuts on everyone's tables haha:)

It was a lot of work and may never be topped!

Thanks for watching! Glad it made your day:)

Amen!

+Mike Youngblood Thank you!

That is very kind of you! Its a great life and at times we have to be reminded of what we have by going places where we can't have the same freedom we have on the farm. I would love this farm to continue another 100 years! Given if the government will stay out of the way!

Its a double edge sword. They set up programs and agencies to help out farmers in disastrous situations which of course farmers love. But then they regulate just about everything and combined with the EPA, FDA, and IRS it makes growth difficult. Then to top it off...after many many many years paying taxes on income and property tax, they demand a death tax if your farm is worth over a specified amount...thus ending the family farm as not many have enough cash to pay that final tax. And to go back to subsidies...rule of thumb is, whenever the government comes in and hands out money all expenses related to that type of industry rise. This in the end eats up whatever the handout was in the first place. So yes I do appreciate times when the government helps out with competitive insurance and disaster relief...they do more damage than good. Farms are going out of business because when the government got the bright idea to mandate food to be used as fuel "ethanol", corn prices went sky high which made farmers a lot of money. Now that farmers were making a lot of money, land prices went sky high, equipment prices went sky high. Commodities such as wheat and soy also went sky high causing their land to go up in price. But with the Fed pumping fake money into our economy our dollar is artificially inflated which in turn makes it very difficult to market commodities to other countries. Granted we cannot control the weather and the world has seen record productions the past few years, much of the blame rests on the governments shoulders.

So now farmers are in a slump as we are being payed hardly anything for our product while the cost of farming remains high.

Walkers own the two 8230’s. The 8250, quadtracs, and graincarts have been demo units. The demos are a great way of showcasing the products Case and Brent make and working with the welkers gets the company a good PR and good content for viewers.

2588 is hardly a "small" combine....

Thanks for watching! It is constantly changing but the one thing that doesn't change is getting dirty and working in unpleasant conditions.

Thank you Mia! Its a good life.

They are beautiful! I was happy to capture a few shots of what I call magic hour, its when the sun is low and the sky is covered with dark clouds. Turns the fields into gold!

That is so cool! Glad you both enjoy them! Maybe I can give a shout out to her in a live stream sometime, might make her day.

@@WelkerFarms That would be awesome, her name is Rylie and she said that would be super " Cool "

Thanks for watching again tarfoot! The shot with the train was such a great moment. That is our only field next to the tracks and I was hoping a train would come by...I sat up on a hill top with a radio and watched and when I saw the train coming I told the combines to start cutting next to the tracks. I then flew the drone over hovering next to the tracks and waited a few minutes. To my surprise it was a grain train too! That was the only train to come by the whole time we were there.

Welker Farms Inc awesome shot!!!!!!

People getting farming simulator 19 and it’s directing us here but loving the videos

Yeah, this is the first welker farms video I’ve ever seen and I had no clue where this channel would lead to.

2016 was a great year for us, haven't had one as good since.

Just have faith, all bad times come to an end. Stay strong 🙏

@@WelkerFarms Was 2016 the year you guys upgraded to the flagship combines? This is the first video I've seen of you guys with the 2588s!

@prairiefarmer5994 I'm pretty sure they got their new combines not long after this video if I remember correctly.

Wow 😮

Thank you Colin, Very much appreciated

It is very cool, stressful but rewarding. If you want to play farming simulator on our farm you can real soon! Our farm will be a downloadable map in the coming months

Welker Farms Inc that’s awesome!!

Can I job welker farm

Thanks you! Make sure to watch part 1 seeding too:)

Oops I see you've seen that too.

You bet ! I'm going through your back-catalog !

+Kenneth N. Shortlidge thank you and thanks for watching :)

+Soybean Farmer we've ran tandems in the fields for years and decided to run semis as it is the same capacity as 4 tandems. Soil compaction isn't an issue either. Thanks!

Thanks for watching! Someday I hope to better this one but it could be awhile!

Thanks for watching! Yes those dogs are always on the watch, making sure we stay on track.

Thank you! The camera does make them look larger than they are but still compared to some areas they are big.

Thank you very much!

... dreaming about to work on such place like this. Heaven on Earth ☺️

Merry Christmas!

Thank you Ben!

Shh!

right here w you bub

Me

You mean 2023?

@@vicnis625 frrrrr lol

Crazy

I know it's sad but these new ones will be a good upgrade 😁

Yeah! The 82xxs are my favorites!

Thank you! Yep our carts are so special they can even haul down paved roads! :)

+Hamon253 thank you! Appreciate the comments :)

+ETS2mods Thank you!

If you can make it happen do it! We need more farmers!

That field is our only one that boarders the train tracks and it just so happened to be in crop when I was filming. The shot couldn't have worked out any better except maybe a lower sun...otherwise it was amazing. Too bad about the track being torn out, trains are sweet!

+Stainless Nick it is an exciting time of the year, and very stressful when things don't go right haha. Farmers will always need help for harvests so your day is coming!

I’ve added quite a few to the count all on my own. 👍

Great video, you know, I hope to own a big farm soon. That dream is Almost about to come true. I remember when I used to work at the factory, I would always wish and pray to have a factory of my own someday. Watching this video reminds me a lot about where I started from. I'm really glad I invested wisely with the little I had at that time. In few months I will be very much ready to setup.

Me too Zach and I made it, you'd think it'd get old eventually haha.

There is any job ??

+Loc0motive thank you! With my new mavic pro drone I hope to get more shots like this one, it handles really nice.

+Muzza904 Thank you! It takes a lot of acres here to make a living, not a lot of money in farming these days.

We've just finished lambing and planting tatties over here been a hell of a busy time! Yes sadly you can buy milk cheaper than water nowadays a lot of our local dairies can't cope with the loss any more. On the 8th day God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a care taker. So God made a farmer! God Bless farmers everywhere!
