Winter Schedule
Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday and Saturday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a RUclips channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
Although I might not get up there, it is good to see you making a positive contribution to American agriculture. You farmers feed America and the world, and I personally want to thank you for all the hard back breaking work you and all farmers and ranchers to to keep us all fed.
OMG! I'm not alone! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences!
That 76 is a beauty. Runs so smooth.
Another day in the life for Ryan, Travis, and Rocket, the soggy doggy. Tending to cattle isn't glorious or glamorous, but it's a way of life that you're not about to give up. I guess it'll be a while before you can get in and clean up the barnyards and steer lot. Will you ever store corn in the bin near the Klein farm barnyard again?
I hope the cows appreciate all your hard work.
How the real world works right here ,one of your best videos !!!!!
Ryan you might want to invest in a pair of muck boots😂😂
more like hip waders
Holy crap it’s deep out there! No pun intended. 😂. Good thing the 7600 has front wheel assist.
On the bright side, if the price of mud skyrockets, you'll be rich! 😋
Getting that feed mixer into the cowyard was a real drag . . . .
Gotta love spring conditions. They always make me think of a WWI battlefield.
You and Travis need a boot sponsor
Nice video Ryan, it's Nice to see the 7600 in action again!
But this tractor is working. Beautiful. Another great movie
I'm a new farmer (Misty Valley on FB). I've learned to hate mud more than installing barbed wire. Thanks for the inspiration.
New Holland made the most reliable machines in this class back in the day - I know someone who has a NH 352 that still grinds 4-6 loads per week. It's 52 years old this year!
Thanks
Good thing got four wheel drive 😆
You need some muck boots! 😂😂😂 or a dedicated shop washing machine! Lol
Ryan, MAINTENANCE ALERT! That right tire on the New Holland Feeder was not turning. In fact it looked like it was off the rim. The tractor was just pulling it like a sled through the mud.
Perfect thing to watch on lunch break
Ryan watching the video the only things I could say is "Thank God for 4 wheel drive tractors!"
Im with you
Yeah, although we use a 2750 which is a 2wd John Deere to pull bales out of the mud.
Thank goodness for FWA! 🙏
When its muddy out sure wears you out. I remember helping my uncle grind feed with a new idea mixer. He would grind corn on the cob from the corn crib. Great video and stay dry
Looks like your getting scottish weather just now 😁 we are getting on with the drilling just now weather been favorable here in Scotland. Great video once again. 👌
Wow, what a mess. I am learning to appreciate farmers more and more. Thanks for the video in trying circumstances.
You guys sure know how to have fun. Reminds me of the parts of farming I don't miss.
Gum boots and a waterproof jacket, surely a must for any farmer! Maybe a loader tractor too 🤔😁
MAD respect for you guys right now, I'm glad I'm quarantining with a keyboard job at home. 10:10 Edit: get some rubber boots man!
4 wheel drive tractor is a great tool
I dairy farm in central Pa and it is a slop mess here as well. Bu the way good selection of pocket knife. They are the best !
Rocket looked like his fuse had gone out. He was thinking I wish I could just go inside and get into my bed. haha.
Heyyy not too bad here, just spread some manure yesterday. Keep up the great work! Love the videos!
Ya did a stinky job yesterday.
Make a spot in the fence that the top one or 2 boards will fold back or if the way leaving one on the bottom to help deter cattle. You can even build it up stronger out of metal stock fi withstand the abuse of use. Then just back in and drop over without going into the lot itself. Just a thought. Hope it helps. Bear of luck
Now that's shloppy
Happy New Year Ryan
You guys need to look into muck boots. It will make your guys life so much better for days like that
I’d rather just clean the mud off. I can’t stand bricks on my feet
How Farms Work I used to be the same way, but muck boots are Sumer comfortable and they are super easy to wash off. Once you try them you’ll never go back
@@HowFarmsWork Ryan, what size do you wear?I'll leave a pair for you in your mailbox.
Hey Ryan they will love the green oat silage bales, your cows will be waiting at the gate for more.good video.
Hose off 7600 before mud dries much easier & less time consuming.
Somebody need a Loader Tractor
Noticed you had trouble getting that darn power shaft on the pto. We have a new holland 358 and that thing is horrible to get on. Thanks for the videos.
I’m 70 now, but when I was growing up in Northern NY we fought mud about like this on our dairy farm.
Did this one bring back memories , from water in bin hopper , mud and hogs rubbing on anything low enough to rub on.
Thanks for the vid guys..
Good thing the 7600 is 4 wheel drive. I am afraid it’s going to be another wet spring in Wisconsin.
It hasn’t been any nicer here in NW Iowa. Hope to see the sun maybe this weekend!
Try putting bale feeders 8 to 10 feet just inside fence and use the long boom on JCB to lift over fence and drop into bale feeder.
As a retired cow calf farmer cement pads are a cheap investment for cattle.😯
Concrete the yard, but that easy for me to say when I dont have to pay for it 🤣
$40,000 I expect
How Farms Work what about gravel for the yard.
@@HowFarmsWork you could look at doing it in sections over a few years. Its something to think
@@zacharyanonymous5170 everytime you clean they yard you will remove some of it
Just do a section big enough to get the tractor in, you can concrete a football field for $40,000, lol.
Seems like you're having a banner year on your mud crop!!! :-)
2020 is gonna be a tough year.
Looks like my place in north east Texas. Rain every day or at least three times a week
Ireland was like that a few weeks ago where only recovering now fields r drying up
What up Ryan and very great video Ryan! Keep make these video
Hey ryan could you do more videos with the cows, I'm 14 and when I was little we had cows but then got rid of them after my dad sold the farm when I was young I remember doing chores in the morning and after school but I dont remember very much beside that
Great video Ryan!👍
Was by a field full of fodder bales , like easy 200 of em, thought of you guys.
That would be the job my 7800 does everyday, but I have a loader on mine. Traveling between farms and then in mud axle deep it doesn’t take long and you can’t even see out the windows. I’m ready for the rain to stop for sure.
8:54 nice farmers blow lol
Love the channel, 2 things,1 invest in gumboots, 2 put some sort of stone/road ag under the way in and out for the vehicles plus it gives the animals a chance for their hooves to air, reducing footrot and lameness
Hey Ryan, it’s pretty sloppy here but not that bad 😂 Great work!
*schloppy
You are not the only one in mud I feed round bales to my horses with a john Deere 3520 still I swing chains on tires to help get threw mud bad yr this yr
Looks like the same here in tn we had more rain this month that i can remember.
Hey Ryan!! Looks like a great crop of mud this year lol.
Remind me when I was a kid and helped on the Amish neighbours dairy farm
Wow, you guys got some rain...
Yup that's sloppy! When things get like that it makes me appreciate the cold and frozen ground
you guys really need a front end loader. would make your lives much easier
The money spent on that wheelman toy would've went a long way on a front end loader. And been more useful.
@@jeffreyhouston2043 I think that was a freebie to demo for the company as free advertising... at least the first one was... Later! OL J R :)
That is crazy muddy. Hopefully some dry weather is on the way.
On the bright side Ryan, you didn't have to spend a day getting out of the cattle yard, hauling the bales in and pulling the grinder in also ,getting the grinder out is usually the worst part. I don't miss them days, as sometimes we had to make a new gate entrance and exit. And after fighting the mud for years we ended up pouring cement 150 feet long and then built the mounds off of the cement. I suppose it didn't help to get snow and now rain, as we have been getting just rain here in Nw Iowa as it is raining/ drizzly weather out there. Love your videos.
I feel for you guys that sure is a wet nasty mess hang in there guys it’s going to get better 👍
That’s spring in Wisconsin
Looks more like April than March.
Now that is yock, thought it was only over here that it rained all the time, that said the last couple of days have been dry, mind yourselves Ryan:):)
You rreeeaallyy must love cattle!
Our neighbor had mats for the cows to walk on and could be driven on to stay above the mud. I wonder if something like that is still available.
We still got snow in New Hampshire. We aren't planting just yet
We now you feel with the mud
I hate the rain to makes a mud in my feed lot too
A corrugated roof over that pen/pasture would go a long way
I read the thumbnail title as "Skippy Spring"..
Thought you were going to show how peanut butter was made.
*After watching - bet you wish that too.
Y’all need some Muck Boots lol
Make a slag strip up to a bigger pad that you feed on and that you can scrape once in awhile. Slag is inexpensive and hardens like concrete
We put slag down in some yards but I find this time of year when it’s so wet it just turns to slop. End up hauling it all out with the manure.
Josh Jansen oh okay we have used slag instead of concrete floors before and it seems to hold up very well if you have a good 6 inches but that is also under a covered roof
Drake Falkner oh ya. It works great if your just having a pack over it
Josh Jansen correct.
Let’s hope it’s not going to be another late year of planting like last year
That poor grinder!!!
In retrospect, how bad have your past couple Springs have been? What we've been dealing with were conditions just like that during calving the past 2 years... nothing is able to dry out or warm up fast enough and it drags out till May. At least lately, most of the moisture has been staying at bay, but still a lot of clouds, fog, and cooler days.
In England we have no rain at all
I see a power washing video in your near future!
@ 8:55 casual snot rocket.
What about unrolling bales in pasture and rotating areas where u feed.
I need to sharpen my knife after watching you cut that wrap!
That mud suck the boots off your feet! LOL
Do the cows ever eat the net wrap?
put down some gravel or you could feed closer to the gate and still use the teleskid
I agree with the gravel.. looked like close to the gate was the lowest spot in the whole yard. Almost looked like the barn yard was dug down making it almost a swimming pool holding water with nowhere to go. Hopefully they will find a way to fix it when it dries up! Maybe a few truck loads of sand or gravel?
I live in Wisconsin to and the weather is very hard to work in
Haven't had such a mudhole here in a while.
1:35 crop farmers “ looks wet better stay out” cattle farmers “cows need feed, just gonna send it” 🤷♂️👍 been there don’t that
11:02 Did Ryan said Fuck? lmao
New bail spear for the tractor!??
Winter time sucks to feed the cow's , everything turn's to muck , I have a slab for the cow's but it gets mucky too with poop juice !
Our place here in east tn the same way.if not for 4x4 tractor we would be in trouble.almost get stuck on level ground
Wow looks like my yard. Www boot got sucked off. That was cold
