Wheat Harvest at Crossroad Farms in Indiana 

*I never realized the complexity of farming until I played Farm Simulator 22. Your hard work and dedication are truly commendable. Thank you for feeding the world with your efforts!*

It is incredible to see everything that I saw in farm simulator irl, just amazing.

This is all controlled by GPS, even the turns are controlled by GPS from what I understand nowadays, I am told it is for seeding purposes saves money in overlap. I am an old man these things weren’t around when I was a farmer, we used to have a cedar with discs and then fertilizer and then spray. It has become more complicated to become easier. Like most everything.

I'm impressed by the versatility of these agricultural machines. From planting to harvesting, they're capable of handling various tasks efficiently.

Your hard work and dedication are truly commendable.

Just sent a message to my husband. We’re both reared on farms, long ago. When I was 14 I “bucked bales” by hand…about 65/70 # each. I’m 80, now, but still a farm girl at heart. Thank you for these wonderful videos. You speak clearly so as to not need CC. ❤❤❤

Absolutely awesome to see all this magnificent equipment. It makes you realize that without it people would be starving. Thank you farmers and the whole farming industry!

Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work!

This is quite the operation. Not only top notch equipment but the logistics to keep everything moving and productive. Yes Mike, the sound of the bailer becomes hypnotic in a way. Those X9's are serious harvesters!! Awesome video Mike😁👌🏻.

Just a great video. It's like watching farm simulator live. This is the most complete harvesting video i've ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to show us such detail of what it takes for a Wheat harvest to be complete. I especially like the bailing process

The technology used in these machines is truly impressive. They are truly working at another level.

Best part of video was watching bales being picked up and then stacked. Never seen how this is done before. You have some of best videos on u tube.

Thank you for all the work you do to get our food. You are feeding the USA.

Mike, My two sons have worked for Crossroad farms for 10 plus years. They are in charge of a large part of operation. Crossroad farms have paid them well. So proud of sons David and Kyle! Great video, what a beautiful day to do it also!

This tech demo is simply breathtaking! Wow! 😲💻

Great video Mike , my cousin works a farm in Northern Ireland but not nearly as large as Crossroads. As a teen I spent a week on my Uncle William's farm . Hours sitting on the side wall of the tractor , rowing turning hay and baling off course. But my favorite thing was bringing the cows into town along the public road and milking twice a day. Love the action..... with huge amounts of work being done with American technology. Expert operators and top class drone work, thanks!

Grandad had a farm since the 1930s and through to the day he died he worked it. This is ASMR for me.

My first visit to your channel and really enjoyed my time spent... Back in the 70's, I drove fork lift in a fast turn over warehouse setting. Loading and unloading box cars and trucks.... every minute counted. I can really appreciate the fine skills of the the implement and tractor drivers. It was a joy to watch them work. Thanks for posting and you have a new subscriber.... Russ

Grew up in the 70 & 80s in Ireland on 20 acre farm with 1/4 of it for corn and for bedding . It was the highlight of my year when the harvest started and the combine arrived . Brilliant video and a massive set up . Would love to be involved in this type of operation but this video will have to do . Thanks Mike 👍🏻

One of the best farming videos i have ever seen. Really well done. God bless you all!!!

Awesome video as always, Mike! Thank you for your great entertainment.

Mike your videos are awesome Really well produced and clear to the eye thanks again Mike 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My how times have changed! Great job shooting this multi-faceted operation. Just amazing what short work the right equipment and determined farmers can make of harvesting and planting a mammoth field. My new favorite operation is picking up bales and stacking them into a small mountain.

I have been a fan for years. Beautiful Country side and of course Farm equipment. I love looking at the different farmland absolutely Beautiful .

I thouroghly enjoyed this Mike. Farming today sure is a lot different to what it was when my dad was farming when I was a kid. I am a long, long way away from the open fields these days, but videos's such as these and especially this long one is just priceless. As Amos mentioned below, farming is still such a gamble. The payoff's can be huge and so can be the losses,

That's alot of farming action! It's cool to see the bale stackers at work👍😉 this farm runs nice equipment😁👍 Brilliant video👍

Great action-packed video with a lot of wonderful pictures! I'd say one of your best so far! 😃 Thanks a lot for this masterpiece! 😊👍🏻

What an action packed video!! That Brent grain cart is massive looking!! Love all John Deere equipment they are using!! Thanks again Mike!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Grew up on a grain and cattle farm in the '50's. Holy cow! Appreciate the video work. To the critics, I repeat the old saying, "Don't criticize the farmer with your mouth full."

Great video. Love the summer sky

Just, wow. Lived on a farm/ranch in Utah in the 70's and 80's and yeah, that's way more impressive than anything we ever had access to. Good to see wheat was planted and more importantly, harvested. This has been a challenging year for the entire world.

That operation is amazing! Great footage, as always, Mike. Love the background music, too.

Some fantastic footage here Mike! Great work as always capturing it all. Crossroad, is one big operation with some amazing machines for sure.

Well these guys have got it going on.Great crops,farm, and,equipment,and great job by you.Looks like the wind blown wheat was no problem for the combines.Stay safe out there and Gob bless you all!

I sure would love working for that outfit. Thanks for sharing. God bless all the farmers globally. They feed the world and are taken for granted.

I love Mike's comments about a John Deere baler. Growing up with a JD baler back in the 60's, we always talked about the rhythmic, repetitive serenade of it. Yes, it adds to its character.

Great video and story Mike, much appreciated all the way from Northern Ireland. John Deere baler goes, clunk clunk clip, clunk clunk clip........we will, we will , rock you, clunk clunk clip, we will , we will, ROCK YOU!

Fantastic video really enjoyed watching your videos keep up the great work always looking forward to seeing your next video soon thanks again and have a great day

Love your video. Saturday night with Canadian whisky and coke 80F inside the house and outside, sunset in July, and watching the harvest/your harvest. Thank you from Calgary.

The co. Ordination between every operation carried out is so awsome... The machinery used is so modern and powerful.. The technology in farming machinery is developing real fast these days.. Good to see such modern machinery in practical use❤

this is by far one of the best videos I ever watched. John Deere must be proud, LOL. I was really impressed wit the tractor used to pick up the bales of straw.

love the noise of all the machines but a bailer beats them all. Spent a number of seasons 40 years ago pulling a bailer, loved it!!!

The latest and greatest! Thanks, Mike, great shots, great job.

The bailing trailor I just saw has left me in awe today. Such a smart machine

What a time to be alive!!! Just to see all of these highly mechanized operations in one great video is a dream come true. So many people today do not realize the amount of work and planning that goes into making all this happen to feed us all at efficiency's like this. A great example of why the rest of the world sees the US as the standard to strive for in farming. Another great video Mike - thanks for posting. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸

I love your videos Mike. I hope you will make many more in the future!

Great video Frank, I just love these wheat picking Machines And that seed sinker.

This is like a beautifully-choreographed "Dance of the Titans!" Enjoyed watching this very much, thanks!

Absolutely great video… such impressive equipment!

a beautiful operation. thanks for the video.

Wow, you are creative in work and mastery, my friend. And this tractor is very strong 👍👌

Great video. Very useful and really informative. Many thanks Michael.

Impressive. Good operators with good equipment!

Another fantastic video Mike. I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers, as the variety you show is great.

Amazing friend👍👍👍👍😊

Oh, how technology has changed and improved. Great video. Love the summer sky.

ust sent a message to my husband. We’re both reared on farms, long ago. When I was 14 I “bucked bales” by hand…about 65/70 # each.

That was a fantastic video!! Long time watcher, rarely comment, however, always enjoy your video content and commentary!

I’ve lived in a place where there’s 3 farms within 5 miles and I’ve never been interested… until a few weeks ago when I became addicted to FS22! 😂😂😂 Just seen this type of YT content for the future est time and I gotta take my hat off to you Mike! Awesome footage & quality of production Thank you 👍🏻

Wow Mike you did a phenomenal job with this video,as always,man that is how you get it done in the fields pretty impressive yield great job guys

Huge grain cart, thanks for sharing Mike

God bless you farmers,wow the equipment amazies me.🇺🇲👍💯

Great video very action packed that has to take a lot of work to do all of that, beautiful acreage 👍

One of your best video.. thank you 🙏

Thanks for the video. Watching technology is fascinating.

Mike I’ve watched several of your videos. Enjoyed all of them but this one ranks up there with the best .

Great video, really liked the different tractors, combines and equipment

Excellent video Mike, thanks for your hard work in putting this together!

This is one of the best farming videos I've ever seen. It shows what a big business farming has become. $millions in equipment, countless hours of maintenance to keep it operational and ready to go. Having the people ready to go in an operation like this. I can't even imagine how much fuel was needed to operate all this equipment. All this and the planning to pull it off and the farmer is still at the mercy of the weather. Luckily he had great weather for this. How many days did this video cover?

Great video Mike!! I agree that baler sounded good.. 👍

Merci à toi pour toutes ces magnifiques vidéos et très belle dernière vidéo de l'année. Hâte d'être à l'année prochaine pour de nouvelles vidéos et surtout celle où il y aura les 4 ensemble black. Elle va monstrueuse. Je te souhaite de très bonnes et belles fêtes de fin d'année à toi et à t'as famille. ❤️❤️😘😘

Mike. I love your videos. Also, I agree with you about the sound of the baler. It sounds like a slow drum beat where we expect it to build up with a song.

Wow! What a great video. And what an outstanding crop of wheat. Here in Southern MO we've had a tenth of an inch of rain sense you shot this. Sure hope they've gotten more than that on those beans.

That bale pick up and stacker was amazing. Great video Mike! ps, that rhythm of that JD baler would put me to sleep

Hey,you’ve got some of the best machinery out there,it makes it look a lot easier with all the newer machines,cool videos,I worked on a few farms in Australia back in the day doing wheat and we had Steiger tractors and John Deere harvesters doing just over 20,000 acres and with the right gear it certainly made it a lot easier.

I agree , the John Deere baler has a nice rhythmic sound ! Great drone footage 👍🏻

Very nice!!!! Thanks for video!!!

I do custom fieldwork for Crossroad Farms. Dennis and Mark are two of the greatest people I know. Farming 40,000 acres isnt for everyone yet this operation makes it look so simple.

Growing up farming in the 70s and 80s, it is insane how big the equipment has gotten…

Im running the speed disk Was nice visiting with you mike See you in a month!!

Super Amazing! This is truly modern agriculture.

Mike, me acabo de ver 51:24 minutos completos, Gracias por crear este maravilloso contenido. Saludos desde la Pampa Argentina.

Great video with some fantastic equipment.

There’s me thinking, 'Wow, that’s the way to move bales' and then, right at the end, there’s two of them! Awesome😂😂😂

Now this is farm simulator at its best! Good job Giants. Can’t wait to play it! 😊

Mike I really really enjoyed this long video I have no idea how much wheat they harvested in this video the amount straw they had baled but it was alot I loved the sound of the combines running as well as that big johndeere square baler I loved that sound of that beer in action as well as the planting of the beans .thank you for this video Mike and the hard work that you put into them .

Buen video Ricardo, seguí subiendo siempre los esperamos con mi familia saludos para vos y para Enzo que buen compañero!!

wow, a vacation to work on such a farm would be something.

Very efficient work and good music too.

Wow, impressive operation going on here. Lots of money there, good to see how far equipment and technology has come. Its videos like this that represent the modern American Farmer. Sad we are dealing with alot of drought through out the world and whats going on politically with farmers in other countries. America First!

Awesome video Mike! I'm amazed at the size of the grain cart. You and Jason from BTP are my favorites. You both put so much detail in these videos. Thank you!

Your video makes me want to quit my office job in the city and go back to my hometown to work as a farmer

Fascinating organization of work. Greetings from the Czech republic.

Excellent. Love your videos.

Super video. Greetings from Ireland.

One stop shop for farming videos. That grain cart was massive! Great stuff Mike!!

What a field! If the title of this video said Australia, I wouldn’t have doubted it lol Watching those autostackers work is awesome. Thanks for the long video, this one must have taken awhile to edit!

This is amazing. I love farming, everything agricultural and this is my first time to watch your video, it captivated me throughout and I wish I can learn from you guys. Happy New Year 2023

A very slick operation, but I reckon if after the balers have gone around the first time, they went over the field again with the rake, they would get even more bales. There seems to be a lot of straw left on the ground. Noticed some temporary storage silos in the middle of one the fields as well, common practice here in Oz due to the enormous distances to the main elevators. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

That hi speed disk is just a 'toy' behind that 9RX. The tractor should be pulling another 20 feet of disk. Ya man, the wide span implements switch me on-! And Mike, I agree with the posters below, that has got to be one of the best videos that youve shot. THANKS. Keep em comin.
