Red Combine Vs. Green Canola (NOT GOOD)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- It's time to finally tackle the problematic canola. New growth spurred on by strong late season rains has created a nasty mess. Our fault for not harvesting sooner. Can we salvage the little that is out there?

my wife seen some one dumping by us. she got their linence plate. she knew some one who would look it up got their address. so another friend delivered it back to them right on their lawn. he was a big guy. so he knocked on the peoples door. he said you guys lost something. lots of work with the cleaning but sounds like it is worth it.
Congratulations to whomever is filming and editing your videos, fabulous opening with the drone footage and the music. The endless fields, the "BIG SKY" the monster tractor and the perfect music all add up to a feast for both the eyes and ears. You guys are getting as good as a Hollywood movie. Very professional!! Thanks..
We've been doing our best lately to really raise the bar on the cinematics! Thanks for the kind words!
@@WelkerFarms You've definitely done a great job because even I kept noticing how beautiful this video was.
PRAISE THE LORD, bud. =D
Well done lads. Been thinking about doing this in NZ.💪🇳🇿🇺🇲
Well said, I was thinking the same thing! Great videos, great content, wonderful family. I watch them all the time, while running nights in oilfields of Nd.
@@WelkerFarms Yeah this years videos are a big upgrade from last years. Including the quality and the editing.
We’ve had trouble in the past with canola not ripening off properly. Last year we desiccated it and it worked a treat no trouble with green stems and pods. All the best with seeding lads.
Love that Nick did the pre-op grease and checks on the combine for Mr. Welker. RESPECT
Sending prayers that everything is going your way. Stay safe and be healthy. God Bless.
Thanks for the prayers David, God bless!
We call that: Value added service/logistics. But that"s actually all you try to do. Well done! Blessings on the winterwheat.
My Nonna (Grandma) tells me storys about the farm all the time but my Nonno (grandfather) died before I meet him 25 years ago and I am 12 so a while before I was born. My Great grandparents had horses on there farm my Nonna (grandma) tells me about that too. So Robert I love hearing history it is very interesting to hear the stories of your older generations. God Bless do not stop what your doing it is incredible I would love to visit after the pandemic.
Your machines and your country out there never ease to make my jaw drop in awe. God bless.
15:38 As long as you don't need as much motor-oil as you need fuel... 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
21:19 Walk your conveyor daily and it will always be happy to see you.
😂😂😂
Oh, the never-ending hassles of farming.
The canola may not be up to expectations, but at least Welker farms can say something was made from it. 😀
I used to run a big cleaner for a university and one rule of thumb was that if something rises to the surface of the flow of seed, it can be cleaned out. Most likely with air.
Sometimes just running it a second time can make a drastic difference. Particularly at the volume they are having come out of the discharge.
Good to know. I’m guessing one pass was enough at this point in time.
Let the green dry down and then clean it again with the blower fan running on the cleaner . Once the moisture disappears so should some of the weight so the fan on the cleaner will lift is out a lot easier.
My Grandpa and his brothers all left southern MN to homestead outside of Inverness in 1911 same year that Dad's Great Uncle did! Wow, small world.
What an old timer said deep rip on dry years but wet years makes the ground hard and that here in the Texas Panhandle.
Life’s newest slogan:
Don’t be lazy! Work like a Welker!
That would be a great slogan for a tee!
When I was on our old horse farm the number of animals dumped on us was astounding. I even came home one day to two extras horses in one of our back fields.
The Cornstar family jammed their combine twice in a recent video. Still too green issues in Iowa too.
It’s amazing how wide open it is where y’all farm & live. I don’t think there’s anywhere around where I live in Western Kentucky that you won’t see trees and bushes.
Great to see you all banding together and getting it done even when the outcome of harvest wasn’t the best. Keep up the good work and stay positive for the next one!
That went crazy well, great call on using that separator!!!!
I agree it's a mess. Move it ASAP!!!! I wish you all the best on moving that canola
I thought for a second you guys were making a silage video. The combine scene reminded of unloading silage out of old barge wagons into a belted Allis Chalmers blower into the silo. That truckload of cleanings as well. Stay healthy!
Me too
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob And me
We've heard a lot of green in our soybeans. Seems the beans mature but the bottom of the stem is green and messes up the combine. Great job on the canola. I love watching you guys and your dad...your videos are awesome!
Tough go on the canola, hopefully next year is better. Got to hate litter, I find enough to do without picking up after someone else. God bless guys
Glad you got the green material out....ours was growing like crazy around the swaths...just a bit of blossoms and green plant came in...not to bad
Apparently you are the authority on growing Canola Tyson. I've seen a few comments directing people to you channel for "the right way" to harvest haha.
@@justinmurray4397 lol..I'm no expert but I know a thing or two...kinda haha
Ah so this is the expert the comments were referring me to 😂
@@WelkerFarms haha
@@Northern_Farmer if I had canola questions, you’d be the first person I’d ask.
Nick, couple another 18" hose to the one on the gun and you'll be amazed how nice a 3' hose is
Great video hope you are all doing good.👍❤️
Glad to see you were able to salvage some of the canola crop. Hope the winter wheat crop is a success.
Sure glad you folks got that cleaner/grader setup last year or two, but I got say it was fantastic to see Scot walking his machine around the yard, people say boys and their toys but that there was a man and his gear... I can see the t-shirts now! Hint, Hint. I sure wished we could have seen them young ones playing soccer, but understand why not, the thought did put a grin on this old face. God Bless you folks.
Great video guys and it’s nice to see some of your hard work going into your bins. Big buds are looking lovely as always and ready for work. Keep smiling guys. Rob from the 🇬🇧
glad to see your seed cleaner working on a new option. This will be a money saver long term.
Enjoyed watching and listening to your dad’s commentary 👍
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. As always, thanks.
Well, you all are having a busy busy time to get harvest over with for the year. Never saw a combine plugged that bad, wow!!! That took a bit to get cleaned out. That’s farming for you. Oh my. Your cleanedid a great job on the seed. The truck you dumped the trailings in was almost full. Your cleaner did a great job!!! Busy busy time getting all these jobs done so you can call harvest done.
How about one of the battery powered grease guns. The gun you used is what we used. Got the job done. Thanks for taking us along today. Was great. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.
The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Thanks Steve 👍
18:11, as much greasing as you folks do on the farm, I figured you'd be using a battery powered grease gun such as the Milwaukee one.
It’s a game changer
Perhaps that is how Scott got the name Leg Arms.
How do you avoid bursting seals and letting dust get in when using a powered gun?
@@wssides Good point! I never thought of that. I've only used the powered ones to service our work semi trucks.
Why would dust get in just because its battery operated? Or do you mean because you blow seals? I thought one of the ways of seeing its greased is to see a litle bit of grease go out around the seal?
Hope 2022 is better. Thank you guys for showing how to get thru the tuff times and making do with what you have. Even with all your You Tube success you guys aren’t running out and a buying bunch of new equipment like some channels.
That's where farming gets tough and you guys still make it look like fun. God bless you
Great video and I like how you use this screen screener to clean out the extra weed seeds from the canola
Just like in the song "Alice's Restaurant", when I was on a town board, I found a pile of trash dumped at a town property. I poked around a little, and sure enough there was an envelope with the name and address. I gave it to the police, who went to see the person, and got them to pick it all up while being watched.
Haha now that's one way to get the job done 😂
Thank you for your videos I am recuperating from Covid and this is the normal 20 minutes of my day. Thank you keep up the great work
Garbage dumping on farms a big problem in the UK, but we have 65 million people in an area smaller than Montana ( population 1.1 million !)
I LOVE to hear the history of the farm. @BobWelker I wonder what your great uncle would say about the tractors & implements you have today.
It would be hard to absorb all this tech
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I live in Amish farm country(PA), they use horses-no tractors to pull plows & implements, just like back in the early days. They never have to worry about fuel prices or government juice!
Thank you for sharing your dad with us
I had to laugh when Nick pulled out the Duct tape aka..The handyman's secret weapon. Now I know how to get things done. Great video.
Threshing still in mode!!
Here in Canada we swath the canola let it dry then combine it, not straight cut it.
spraying works too but swathed is best
Thank goodness you were able salvage some. Love your channel and God Bless all of you.
I love hearing stories history that pops tells very interesting!
Hi Nick, put the flytippers on camera so as to name and shame them, if everyone just threw their rubbish wherever they fancied what a terrible mess our countrysides would be. Canola doesn't look so bad mate, you just gotta do what you have to do sometimes my friend, all the best from the UK.
NEW FARMERS NEED TO WATCH AND LEARN FROM YOU. GOOD JOB.
If you guys continue growing canola you need a swather, pickup and swath roller. Most of us up north have dealt woth that a lot lol and it gets swathed and left to rippen
Amazing effort Welkers! You should be proud.
I cant say enough how much I enjoy watching your videos. I sure hope there is a farm history video coming soon.
We do have an early tribute video on the channel from a while back if you're interested!
Good to see that you were able to salvage a few bushels of Canola. Something is better than nothing, I think.
1:03 Nick can't play hide and seek. Still can see your legs hahah
if you're going to keep doing canola, I would recommend going to northern farmers channel and watching his old canola vid's. You may want to get a couple swathers, and pickup headers for the combines. Maybe you could turn one of the old JD combines into a swather, if they still run. That seems to be the only way to get canola to dry down. You'll still have to dry it though.
The Northern farmers have separate varieties. All the old ones are much best swathed to reduce shelling out while there are several newer ones that were developed that are intended to be straight cut. In a situation like the Welkers faced, they also would have been swathed up North. The grain cleaner made straight cut doable with difficulty. Would have been a very long job with a normal volume yield.
You can also swath the straight cut varieties...just depends on your situation..lots of guys are seeding pod shatter reduction canola..just to be able to swath it riper
Youve planted the canola quite sparsely. In Sweden where i live we plant it more dense. An old saying is that you should plant canole so dense that a cat can walk on it when its done for harvest. We seed about 50 - 80 seeds per squaremeters depended of variety. Are you certain that you havent got two different varieties in seed? In Sweden we have spring and fall/winter canola.
It wasn't that it was too light. It was the drought....we had less than 7 inches and only 3 during growing seasin
Gettings from the Uk - well done the Welker Family
Watched a few farming videos over the years, stayed with you and Sonne farms, only!.
Thank you 👍
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob no, we thank you. You are all worth watching.
I would have loved to have seen a video of the chewing out the litterer got.
It was Scott dumping the Canola waste.🚛
You know people are tillage farmers when they're not sure where their forks are :D ;)
I wanted to see Nick yell at the trespasser!
Yeah, get them on film too, disrespectful people gotta a bloody cheek dumping rubbish on other peoples land!
Great job cleaning Your canola Welkers
I see Colorado Forecast for Next week and Ya better be planting! I love the Big Buds!👍👍
Lol canola should dry down easily in the bin with airation at 12% ha ha. See how that goes. That stuff can heat in the bin at 9% sometimes. Mine was 8% this year and I leave the fan on because I’m so paranoid about canola, it can heat on you so easily if you don’t watch out because it’s so tight. Good luck.
I THINK THAT GRAIN CLEANER JUST PAID FOR ITSELF.
An old saying over here "necessity is the mother of invention" think the Welker family prove that time an time again 👍👍
That is a lot of green material! I’ve never seen that much green in seed before.
I love your guy's content so much! You guys should make more videos especially of harvest cause those are like the best videos ever and whenever you guys are in the field doing something! I have been watching your guys videos for the past couple year's now and I have liked every video of yours! I am 15 years old and your guy's videos are the best part of my day! God bless stay strong boys ill catch ya in the next one!
Thank you forthose very kind words. Blessings to you
Thanks so much for the comment, we really appreciate it!
BIG Brute HAS LEGS! Lol I love the opening drone shot with.. iam guessing nick trying to stay out of the shot by operating the drone from behind big brute, but you can see his legs sticking down right in the middle of big brute as if he grew them. :D
Oh no! Our LegBrute project has been leaked to the public 😂
Really like the drone footage, hope to see more
More epic drone footage coming today!
THEY THE STUDENTS make sure not to bump the plunger rod on the bench. While taking apart or putting back togeather. What a mess a long time ago. You never forget.
That cleaner is worth its weight in Gold. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great that you guys never give up. There is always a way!!!
Great video like always guys, you guys should ask the neighbours if they want the graded crap from the canola plenty of cattle feed
To the untried, unschooled folks that are just sitting back armchair quarterbacking and have never been involved in anything bigger than mowing their grass this is a good lesson.. no matter how automated or modern we get every farm has a certain amount of hand labor from time to time some more often than not some hardly at all but we are not sitting around pushing buttons here
you could have shut the bottom sieve to 1 mm and opened the returns to dump it on the ground . and not thresh it so hard to reduce the broken up trash , wide concave , slow rotor speed .
@Welker Farms @Robert Welker I have just gone through all the comments Robert commented on and Welker Farms commented on and liked. It took 46 minutes and majority said that you should swarth the canola and asked if you will use it for seed or grow it next year.
If cas IH could build a combine round baler combo they would get a jump on the green combines.
Never seen such a diversified farm !! If it grows the Welkers will plant it !!!!!
We spray our canola with Reglone Ion. It turns everything, including weeds brown in about 3-4 days making it cut and thrash way nicer. Also drys it down a bunch also
Thats how its done in the UK
@@flyxingu we do that here in Canada
@@dawsonrichter215 Here in the UK we spray it off about 10 days before we go in with the combine. It looks as though they have lost about half the crop doing it the way they have.
@@flyxingu yeah we do also. Where the welkers are at (4 hours south of me) it's so dry, and their season is early enough they can afford to leave it die without spraying it. Saves them money. But they also are not pulling crops off like we are. I've combined near where the welkers live, pretty hot and dry at harvest time.
I’d love to hear the story of your family homesteading. 👍
Coming
Still seems like a lot of green stuff getting past the screens hope it doesn’t cause problems in the bins
Congratulations guys! Harvest 2021.
Aí sim mais um excelente vídeo aí de pulverização top aí sim tenham um excelente dia aí produtivo e abençoado e uma excelente colheita de trigo que que traga bom lucros 👏👏👏💯💯💯
Great video Fellows, persistence always achieve results Happy end of Harvest 2021 Regards & Best wishes Trevor.W.Bacelli. Biloela Qld Australia.
Legarms eats his cereal with no milk! - lol
The green part of the harvest looks like it would be good cattle feed or chicken feed.
Hmmm interesting idea!
Suggestion for the head bumper issue on the Brute...run a curved pipe down to the ladder like a grab bar. I can't tell from the video how much space is available.
You guys are incredible! Long live the family farm!!!!!!!!
now that there was funny!! looked like red ate a green one for lunch and got constipated.... "Get er done"
OH......DEERE........IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!!!!!!😁
You service the combine for dad AND Colby. Have it ready to run for them.
canola is not easy to dry with just air, esp with all the green stuff u got
I’d turn the fan on and not shut it off until hauled to the co-op. Stuff is dangerous when stored wet. Heats up quick.
God bless Welkers 💕🙏👍
# 1 Farm/Family channel!
Combine looked like a silage chopper instead of a combine. Lol
The trick to know if you are too shallow when Deep Ripping -
First are you leaving plow-like tracks behind - indication you are too shallow.
Second, you need to check as you rip if the entire ground between the deep ripper shanks is fully heaving upwards between the rippers when you rip - if the entire ground isn't lifting then you are too shallow. From what I've seen in your video you are too shallow - it's very clear from shot filmed from rear that none of the ground in between the rippers is moving (look at the ground in the centre between the rippers, it does not move) - try go deeper and compare the results side by side - it should look a lot cleaner when you go deeper.
Is it really worth it to rip your fields? With no more moisture than you get a year it would seem like minimum till would be a better way to go.
Richard G there are several benefits. First you are decompacting the soil and shattering the hard pan. This allows any moisture received to penetrate deeper. When you get the moisture down deep it is far less prone to evaporate as compared to moisture in the upper layers of soil during dry periods. The looser decompacted soil structure after Ripping allows the roots of your crop to more freely grow deeper to tap into this moisture - which will be more readily available to the plant during periods of low moisture in the growing season. Also by shattering the hard pan you are allowing the roots to access nutrients which before in the compacted soil those roots just could not get down past that hard pan barrier.
If you would like to take it a step further you can look at Deep Ripping as being very minimal compared to the process of Clay Delving your soil.
Delving is the process where massive shanks are driven down to break the hard pan and to importantly churn up subsoil clay to mix with your existing top soil in order to get a soil which will hold moisture and increase yields in areas which have low/minimal rainfall.
There are many videos of Australian Farmers (and studies done by their Department of Agriculture) using this technique where very poor performing fields which had poor/sandy/minimal topsoil have been able to be regenerated and turned into highly productive yielding fields. Yields of Canola for example increased by c.50% - you will find several videos on YT showing how the Delving is done and side by side comparisons of a field half delved and half not - the difference in size of plants grown and yield on the delved side is as they report up to 50% better yielding. It's an expensive up front cost to Clay Delve the ground, but the increased yields more than pay for it over time.
@@paullynch277 Great explanation!
Glad to see U made it to the end of the harvest with all well and good ;-}
An air blower separator might have removed the last green by density vs size.
hello why don't you apply glyphosate to it or will you spin it to dry it?
yes spraying to dry down the canola works
It’s a good day when you can drive your unloaded elevator over to the gas pump and fill it! Love it!
Enjoyed.
It takes a lot of canola to fill up a combine. I learned that off of farming simulator. Keep the videos coming and be safe
This year has seemed like a fight for every little bit. Just keep going!
Are you that actor who plays a friendly neighbor?.......😁
