    Welcome to Peterson Family Farm. On this RUclips channel, we plan to show viewers what happens on a real life family farm in Kansas. From working with animals, to planting seeds, to harvesting grain, to putting up hay, to fixing equipment, you'll get to see what farming is like! Our farm is a 5th generation farm started in 1882 by our great great grandparents. We grow wheat, corn, soybeans, milo, sunflowers, and forages and we feed about 1,000 head of cattle. To learn more about it, watch our channel intro video here: • Welcome to Our New You...

    I love Milo harvest, the only thing I can’t stand is the dust. The dust is terrible to have on your person. If I can remeber we straight combined it with batreal combine and not the corn style headers

    Correct me if I'm wrong but when you collect Milo, you seem to cut only the head of the plant, right? Is there a reason? I'm just curious. Like to learn about all kind of cultures.

    I have to ask, around my area in KS, we use draper/flex heads to harvest to Milo/Sorghum, why are you using a corn head? As for rain, you're right, we're dry here too, Douglas county.
    The crop still looks good for it being a double crop. Cheers :)

      This is a row head not a corn head. It's used to pick up downed milo which we had quite a bit of this year due to drought.

      @@petersonfamilyfarm1778 Charcoal rot?? I had that one year down in SE TX... what a mess... thankfully it was just in a couple of sand spots in one field that were about the size of football fields... but you could tell right to the foot where the soil went from black gumbo clay (that holds water) to blow sand (which does not). The rows would go from standing well to leaning every which way to nearly flat on the ground within about 3 feet down the row... Later! OL J R :)

      ruclips.net/video/6blQLQ_u6Co/видео.html Row crop head being demonstrated... They kinda LOOK like a corn head but there's not much similarity... bigger auger, gathering belts that pinch the crop between them below the heads, which pulls the stalks back into a rotary knife underneath that works sorta like a sickle to snip the stalks off... then the belts carry the cut off top parts of the plants back and toss them into the larger cross-auger that moves them to the feederhouse of the combine. They were pretty popular in the 70's and 80's, but you don't see a lot of them anymore, though they certainly have their place-- they're particularly useful in crops like sunflowers, guar, and sesame that are a little more difficult to harvest with regular platform (reel and sickle) headers... They're also used in grain sorghum and soybeans occasionally. Later! OL J R :)

    Do the two corn heads you were using have any kind of modifications for cutting milo? Or can you take them straight from corn into the milo?

      They are not the same heads as corn heads. They are called row heads and we explain them in this video: ruclips.net/video/7L9G52y77W0/видео.html

      Milo is also known as sorghum. Check out Wikipedia for uses.

      @lukestrawwalker 3 года назад

      It's basically used for much the same stuff as corn... In fact the price is basically tied to corn at like 3/5 the price of corn. It's more drought tolerant than corn and cheaper to grow (usually). Later! OL J R :)
