It’s better to wait for the dew to come off your corn plants, because it will be dryer and it will feed through the combine easier. That’s my thoughts.
Too much wet material running through the combine can start plugging your seives and that will result in throwing it out the back if you start getting too much going out the back even with dry material you might try opening the seives and possibly check the snapping rolls on your corn head can cause issues with it feeding too much plant material
What a super couple of lads. Your Mum and Dad should be commended and given medals for how they brought you up. Keep up the great work from New Zealand. I absolutely love the dip stick millennial farmer skit.
5 years ago I bought a section that had been in CRP for 30 years. I remember it as a kid being really poor ground, used up. But that CRP raised the organic matter and I made sure and maintained it. It’s one of the better farms I have. Planting date is huge,,,,, don’t dilly dally and get it in the ground. As few acres as you have planting date should never be an issue. Just make good choices with maturity on your seed.
I was wondering when you were going to post another real life farming video i’ve been watching. the real life farming videos for over a year love the video and love seeing buck in the videos
Very glad to see another video, by now, I think you should invest a semi for your operation. Not only would it be easier and quicker for you getting grain off the field, but you would be able to haul your own equipment with a cheap lowboy or beavertail.
It is better to wait till the dew dries off for shelled corn but if picking cob corn for grinding feed start as early as possible after frost melt. The dew on the shucks lets the picker get a better grip on the pliable shuck and strip it off. Usually after about 1 o'clock the corn dries too much, gets slick and it doesn't shuck very well till the dew falls in the evening.
Yea you need to wait until the plants are mostly dry. The wet trash will stick on the chaffer/walkers as you found out. Will walk the kernels out the back.
Great video dude please some advice on the army truck, put you some tractor weights or fill the back bed of it up with dirt or put a hopper box on the back of it. You need extra weight to pull those heels.
You can start early if there’s snow on the leaves and it’s real cold. Otherwise like you found, waiting til the leaves are dry is best. It’s nice having a yield monitor that clues you in on that stuff right away
Start a bit later,go a bit later. Grain bins are cheap. Electric augers *non-swing* are cheap. Great content. Donahue, or GN flatbed over 22’. Get a 6000 or less bin 24’ or less within 60 miles. $400 for bin with floor, 6” unload. You spend a hour plus marking stuff 2x. Then remove floor, stands *keep mark8ng* next day remove bottom 3+ rings. Back trailer binder roof top 2+ rings. *check height* most areas 14’ will work, often over 15’will clear if temps under 75F. Check with truck first. Strap, drive home Sunday dawn 2/trailer pickup. 1/3 the work. Put on cemented foundation. Assemble, hook up. 17% corn can be air dried in bin if humidity under 60%. Or frozen most years. You can put loads on weekends, night, holidays to haul later when price increases. Cement and auger your biggest expense. (Two auger’s better). One to fill bin, one shorter to empty. $3500 nice 8-10”x 61’. $1300 8-10x+30’
13:54 I had that with my dinner tonight. Great year You and Spencer have had you guys nailed it. I always look forward to seeing your corn harvest, Your farming simulator videos and just all of them in general. You guys are the best and are my favorite channel. Happy New Year's I am writing this comment exactly 11PM
There are covers for the round bar concaves that can be put in the center RH side to help push corn to the middle. Can also install covers in the precleaner to help push the corn to the chaffer and not into the cleaning fan. Your combine would need three covers for the precleaner since it's a narrow body.
GRANT I LOVE THE VIDEO AND ALSO I REALLY LOVE YOUR JOHN DEER AND ALSO I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY AMERICAN FARMING I JUST HAVEN'T DOWNLOADED IT YET BECAUSE YEAH I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY SET UP ON MY TABLET YET BUT WHEN I DO I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO DOWNLOAD IT BUT I GOT A QUESTION CAN YOU DOWNLOAD IT ON SAY A COMPUTER OR SAY A PC AND ALSO WHEN I GOT A QUESTION HOW DO YOU HOLD THE CAMERA IN ONE HAND AND THEN CONTROL THE COMBINED I'M TRYING TO HAVE TWO HANDS I DON'T KNOW I'VE NEVER CONTROLLED A COMBINED THE ONLY CONTROLLED A TRACTOR BEFORE SO I DON'T KNOW AND ALSO I LOVE YOUR FORD F-250 THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK AND ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SHOULD GET IN YOUR COMBINED IN THE MORNING I USUALLY JUST HARVEST MY CORN BY HAND
The farmer I work with will generally wait till mid morning to harvest corn. It’s harder to run through the combine when it’s wet and it also generally is wetter and cost more to try so it’s worth waiting a little bit.
You should watch Ray Archuleta on how cover croping can fix your water nitrogen an disease problems. Will definitely boost your yeild an cut your fertilizer bill.
Hey grant will you be at the Louisville Kentucky farm show this year i would love to run into you also i would love to see you get a red tractor on your farm lol. No worries I'm still a fan.
Omg Brother buch yay what a incredible family togetherness. Also Like Spencer did talk about the price of everything from your perspective. I’m curious. Including RUclips. Since your technically a vet of farming.
hi I'm new to your and your brother's youtube channel and saw that you have released a game on ipad .have played fs19 and 22 on ps4/5 for many years but missed a good game on ipad downloaded the game there and can't wait to try greetings TJ
Grant i got the Jan 2024 issue of iowa soybean review magazine. Congratulations on being featured in it! Any chance you and Spencer could sign it? Love your vids.
good job bro. im only now catching up with your videos. seems I missed last season.. don't worried my channel is also not sponceded. I'm self funding...😅😬
With the American farmer app game you should have the game to where I can play on play station 5 or where I can buy it on the play station store online
We have a 3GB or Higher RAM minimum on Android devices. That's most likely why you can't download it. We just don't want people with lower-end devices having crashing issues with the game!
I borrow money from Farm Credit. Mainly for Land and Operating! I tried to be a little more conservative with Cash over the past 3 years as I funded my software company monthly to build the mobile game. FCS has been great to work with IMO.
It’s better to wait for the dew to come off your corn plants, because it will be dryer and it will feed through the combine easier. That’s my thoughts.
I second that
Thanks! Will probably start doing that from now on with Corn Harvest!
Noproblem man just giving you advice from my experience.
Too much wet material running through the combine can start plugging your seives and that will result in throwing it out the back if you start getting too much going out the back even with dry material you might try opening the seives and possibly check the snapping rolls on your corn head can cause issues with it feeding too much plant material

I went out and started my own farm because of your videos not just in real life but farm sim too thank you so much man
I am so Happy for you and Spencer doing what you have always wanted to do!
You guys should get some merch. Good goal for 2024.

Yeah goal is to always push planting date!
I was wondering when you were going to post another real life farming video i’ve been watching. the real life farming videos for over a year love the video and love seeing buck in the videos
Yeah I think he posts 1 a month I believe

You and Spencer had a good year. Hopefully more good ones for content and y’all’s farm!!

Get some plywood and 2x6’s or sheet metal and make grain sides for your military truck.
Grant, I'm really proud of you, I have been watching you since you where playing gta5, and know you own a farm!
Bet your dad is even more proud💪
You can start early if there’s snow on the leaves and it’s real cold. Otherwise like you found, waiting til the leaves are dry is best. It’s nice having a yield monitor that clues you in on that stuff right away
Great year for you guys Grant! Looking forward to what the future holds. keep it up!

Great video!This one makes me dream again of my own farm in WI or NY....but iam good now I guess helping my dad here at home on the farm in germany.:)
Another great video. Seemed like some good yield

Happy new years
We wait til dew/frost dries there was a few days this fall that we didn't start til 11 or 12 due to no wind and sun kept hiding behind the clouds
The farmer I work with will generally wait till mid morning to harvest corn. It’s harder to run through the combine when it’s wet and it also generally is wetter and cost more to try so it’s worth waiting a little bit.
Why not build a tail gate for the truck so you can haul grain in the back as well ? Probably another 200-260 bushels per trip
I was going to comment that, a few guys have came into the co-op I work for and they had a dump truck with a pup trailer on it
You should watch Ray Archuleta on how cover croping can fix your water nitrogen an disease problems. Will definitely boost your yeild an cut your fertilizer bill.
Hey grant will you be at the Louisville Kentucky farm show this year i would love to run into you also i would love to see you get a red tractor on your farm lol. No worries I'm still a fan.
Omg Brother buch yay what a incredible family togetherness. Also Like Spencer did talk about the price of everything from your perspective. I’m curious. Including RUclips. Since your technically a vet of farming.
When you have crp like that usually you want to plant beans the first couple years so you have something established and then you can go into corn
hi I'm new to your and your brother's youtube channel and saw that you have released a game on ipad .have played fs19 and 22 on ps4/5 for many years but missed a good game on ipad downloaded the game there and can't wait to try greetings TJ
Nice.
And I’d say you should embrace the mustache, full go!
Yeah those corn silks will plug it up buddy
Sooner planted is better
It would be cool if you had a bin system, then you could dry your own corn and sell it later.
Yes, in the future most likely!
Grant i got the Jan 2024 issue of iowa soybean review magazine. Congratulations on being featured in it! Any chance you and Spencer could sign it? Love your vids.
Thank you! Would be honored! Maybe someday we can meet up at an event and sign it!
@@granthilbert5632 That would be awesome!
Spencer should make the bed to haul grain in his military truck
please do more!
I love you vids and farming vids they are funny
Xe ngon rượu ngon Việt Nam đây mấy ông già 🇻🇳😅😂❤
If it's as sunny as possible after dew 10 11 o'clock
I love your farm grant wish i owned one just like it
On our 99 John Deere CTS 2 the straw chopper sensor will not turn off no matter what we do it’s been like that for 4 years now
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.
good job bro. im only now catching up with your videos. seems I missed last season.. don't worried my channel is also not sponceded. I'm self funding...😅😬

Awesome video
It interesting to see the differences between American farming styles and Aussie ones
happy new year to you and your brother
Happy New year!
@@granthilbert5632 thank you 😁
Let the frost melt
With the American farmer app game you should have the game to where I can play on play station 5 or where I can buy it on the play station store online
You should try Stine corn and beans
Grant how much bigger of a corn head could that combine handle?
Love yuns 💙💙
Finally!!! Been waiting on a new video!
Love the videos
your game would be one ofe the best but it needs more realistic graphics and interior working like the rpm and spedometer
Hey Grant American Farming keeps kicking me out for no reason and I think it’s just how old it is but if not can you please try to update or fix it
If you hold the oil dipstick upside down long enough, it will show full unless your crankcase is empty.
I'll try that next time! :)
😉@@granthilbert5632 😉
When I thought harvest was over for grant here we are
I love Grant’s IRL farming, do you?
Thank you!

I have a American Farming but it won't let me play it
Who all hasn’t bought all the mods for American farm I bought them all
Trying to get an answer to why I cant get American Farming on my android phone
We have a 3GB or Higher RAM minimum on Android devices. That's most likely why you can't download it. We just don't want people with lower-end devices having crashing issues with the game!
I can't even find it on the Google Play store to download it it's not even showing up at n the play store
W
Grant your not a terrible RUclipsr like your American farming ad said you have 159k subs to my 15 subs so I’m terrible next to that
Hey grant
How are you grant
Are you farming cash or get money from FSA or bank
I borrow money from Farm Credit. Mainly for Land and Operating! I tried to be a little more conservative with Cash over the past 3 years as I funded my software company monthly to build the mobile game. FCS has been great to work with IMO.
