Summer Schedule
Expect a new video every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday! (Schedule May Vary)
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.
I am not a big time farmer but 74 bushels to the acre of soybeans sounds pretty good.
Beats every field in drought ridden South Dakota…
Guy pulling off the scale when you pulled on was my neighbor who combines my beans. He was hauling his own in that day so not mine. Small world some times.
Wanted too say , thank you to all the farmers & God bless you all!!
Seeing the 9510 working in the field is awesome👍😁 making hay in the valley will be great to watch😉👍
Falll nights with combines lights running and meteorites showers ,it doesn't get much better than that. Have a safe Harvest
Nice to see beans are good especially with the summer Wisconsin had
Every day is awesome to be a farmer.... so wanting to come back to the dairyland to do it... harvest means you see the results of your work
One could say what he will, I have been watching for years now and that combine has always done a great job. Good people make the difference. Happy Harvest!!
Better to be a little wet than too dry for beans... lose more. Are those beans leaning from wind damage or just from the weight of the pods?
Beans around North Daktoa are mixed. Have overripe beans, perfect beans, rubber pods, and green beans all within the same row or same fields. Drought took a toll on them this year, delaying harvest.
In my 21 years of farming the worst dockage ever resulted from taking 15% moisture beans to the mill. Thanks for the video Ryan 👍
Ryan just a suggestion for an informational video…we live in a farm house we are renting (not a farmer) and we have noticed the area farmers having a few close calls with vehicle traffic. Maybe a video reaching out to the non-farmers to be courteous as well attentive to farm equipment as they travel. Just a suggestion, be safe and God Bless
I was in Lancaster the first week of August, visiting old friends. I loved the town, and, the whole area. I thougt the crops all looked good, although the corn showed a bit of stress. That yeild on the beans is great.
Ryan it’s fun to see how good at driving big red u have become.
Thanks! Just practicing for the next rig!
...and you're off! Stoked for the final hay at the valley and for 2021 harvest. May it be a very bountiful one for the entire family.
74 bushels to the acre. Sounds like your off to a good start. Hopefully that will continue.
Some one needs to sort the reply's 🤔🤫😔 we are here for the farming and the cracking videos and content thanks. Great job Ryan 👍👌 Stay safe 🏴
Yeah if only RUclips was HALF as vigilant about scouring away all the porno links and bitcoin hawks trolling the threads as they are about cleansing away all free speech relating to anything political that doesn't follow "the agenda" we'd ALL be in better shape! OL J R :)
First load is in the books. In Buffalo County 60 Bu per acre was our average. Great year to have both yield and pricing on your side. Good luck on the hay harvest and on the wind blown corn.
my brother beans ran 50-70 bushels 50-60 ish on the one field. the other 65-70 bushels but both fields used to have beef cattle on them back in the day. was a feed lot for a long time. so its best soil we got. cant wait to get into corn. from our testing we might get 200-300 bushels. might be our best year for our crops. do to the rain and but cool summer.
Looking good!! Good luck with harvest 2021 Ryan! Be Safe!!!🚜🚜👍👍
Good to know Andrew is running the show for you!
He knows what the local crop moisture is doing after all!
Least the port wasn't busy and you got right in.
Enjoy seeing the harvest like the drone footage all the big fields and big equipment working you all have a nice setup good video brother
great harvest video I can't not wait more harvest to come.
At least the moisture was below 13. Happy Harvest!!
i just hope next year, yall can finally get corn that isnt knocked over. been wanting to see how yalls yields been improved with all the different programs you been using. plus with the different equipment that been loan out to you. seems your hay has been improving alot over the last 3 years.
Hey Ryan!! Hope harvest is going smoothly. Have a great weekend.
awsome video ryan harvest time sure came by fast this year quickest i ever seen it lol you guys are off to a good start thumbs up and shared
Good stuff Ryan and Dwight, nice to be making a start and Good Luck:):)
Great drone shots ur really good at flying close to things and not hitting anything that's skills right there
Great kick-off Ryan! Here's hoping for a good crop this season!
Thanks for the update Ryan, looks like you guys are off to a great start 👍
If corn goes as early as beans, you should have time to do all your fall tillage.
Ryan this was a great start and best wishes for the rest of harvest also liked the drone video
Like the positive attitude and outlook! Others could learn from you.
Have a safe harvest
Beautiful footage!
Not a bad problem to have, crop ready and hay to make
You guys should bale some soybean chaff! That would be interesting to see!!
Looks like you guys had some wind that laid y'alls beans down. That bites.
Hope harvest goes well and your yield is up.
Take care.
Sounds pretty damn good to me the yield.not sure what high yield is in your area.but where I am from that is in the average to middle ground of yield.great to see you taking a bite out of harvest.
GIVE THANKS GLORY BE TO GOD ALWAYS...
Not a bad start to ‘21 harvest 🤙🏾
Get a rechargeable impact gun for that hopper gate works great
Great How Farm work Video, Thanks for sharing
Great view at the field
It feels like planting was just a few weeks ago
Stay safe this fall. !!
Good job Ryan , yield is very nice
it might be early for you but their harvesting in the west-central and northwest,, have been for a while now, great video by the way
And it begins....
aka...PAYDAY!!!!??
That's beautiful Ryan, sell that to Deere Corporation it's commercial grade.
Iowa Dairy Boys started their combining to
Brilliant 😎😎
I'm assuming the tender auger is used for calibration rather than unloading right into the trailer ?
Looks like it should be a good harvest.
Yes calibration wagon... weigh the load the combine dumps into it and then compare to the combine yield monitor and what it said was in the bin, and then correct the yield monitor calibration until they agree... auger the grain into the truck from the calibration wagon. OL J R :)
Great awesome video Ryan , nice start to bran harvest , looks like rain 🌧 coming there
Are you guys thinking about upgrading the combine in the next few years?
That's the talk!
Are we going to see the reel of shame again this year?
Unfortunately!
Best of luck
Thanks!
I guess you can never have enough tractors.
Yeeha let’s go Boiz I love this time ah year
Great video man
How is your dad's new combine fund coming along you started a few years back 🚜
Probably a silly ask but can you explain the layout on the crops please as in Europe we would work in traditional straight lines and not have a crop between like you do so would love to learn more....thanks
They farm on hilly, erosion prone ground so they use an old technique called "farming on the contours" with strips of different crops snaking around the hillsides at the same level... that way if soil is washing out of one area it will be caught in a different area further down the slope of the hill that is in a different crop. That's why they snake around like that and aren't all straight back and forth rows running up and down the hills, or along the flanks of the hills in places and up and over them in others or down into valleys between them in other places, which would cause more erosion. Our Shiner farm is in a similar area down in Texas and our farm still has terraces on it from back in the 40's and 50's when they farmed the same way, to minimize erosion. Of course our farm has been in cattle since at least the 70's so they're really not needed anymore. Guys in the area still farming corn still have them and farm the same way though, lots of point rows and snaking rows... Later! OL J R :)
Neighbor corn standing proud, what happened to yours???
Thats better yield then most of the midwest is averaging
Ryan I have a question for you why is it you run the combine into the direction that the beans as fell down wouldn't it be better to go in the opposite direction and push the beans upward just kind of curious on your beans you said 12 and 1/2% that's what bryansfarm is getting about the same I'm by the way I like the music that you pick I just noticed your dad went in opposite direction of the beans I just didn't know which one would work better just kind of curious that was pretty cool you and your dad in the truck Brian you have a good day my friend be careful that virus is still out there God bless🙏🚜
Yeah for lodged beans usually better to combine with them leaning toward the sickle, so the sickle gets under them and THEN cuts them off, but they can combine either way without too much trouble in most conditions with a flex header and pickup reel, if you adjust it right and run it at the right speed... Seen my BIL pick beans up flat off the ground with a pickup reel before-- slow going but it works. The flatter they are the more important it is to run with the leaning towards the header though... OL J R :)
Curious as to where you are at? We have a 300 acre spread just outside of Guttenberg iowa. I will be farming it myself for the first time next year and would love to get some pointers
They're in Potosi, Wisconsin, just across the river from Iowa. OL J R :)
Are you cutting those beans just going 1 way on the field?
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
What's the reason you "strip" the fields with few crops ? for a nice look to the ISS crew or environmental rules , against erosion maybe ? Tell to a french farmer please ! Have a nice harvest - price seems to be good this time .
If the auger from the cart is leaning on the side of the truck doesn't that throw off the calibration?
There was clearance just not much! LOL :) OL J R :)
Good yield in my area...
Have you guys ever considered upgrading your combine? I know a new one would be expensive, but it would be worth it in the long run for efficiency and grain sample quality.
The combine they have is plenty efficient and the grain sample is determined more by how the combine is adjusted and run by the operator and conditions in the field than by the combine itself. New ones are just bigger and flashier and WAY more expensive, to do the exact same job. Now if they have enough acres to justify getting a bigger combine, that I could see, but it takes a WHOLE LOTTA acres to pay for them new monsters... and they can't do anything better than a well maintained older combine run by someone who knows how to adjust and operate it and is vigilant to keep an eye on what it's actually doing... Later! OL J R :)
Ok Ryan when is the big day lol
Next year!
Hello from Algeria
What is that music? It’s pretty
hey Timmy WILLARD JONHD deer
Hi ryan,hannah,brother
(not a farmer). You go from combine to cart to truck; even though the pipe on the combine is high enough to go directly into the truck. Why?
To keep the combine moving
They do that to weigh it. So then they can calibrate the yield monitor.
They were using the small calibration wagon to calibrate the yield monitor-- the combine records what the sensors say the crop is doing as they harvest across the field, and keeps a running tally on how much grain should be in the combine grain tank. Then they unload into the weigh wagon, which weighs the grain unloaded into it with high precision. Then they compare the numbers of what the yield monitor in the combine SAID was in the tank versus what was actually weighed OUT of the tank, and then apply the correction factor to the combine yield monitor, repeating the process until the numbers agree. The weigh wagon gets dumped by the auger into the truck. Once the calibration is complete, they dump the combine straight into the truck. Later they'll use a big auger cart in the field so the combine can either dump on the go as it continue to harvest, OR stop and dump into the auger cart from where it's working in the field and then go straight back to work, rather than having to drive the combine out of the field to where the truck is to unload... the combine can still be harvesting while the auger cart hauls the harvested grain out to the truck and loads the truck. OL J R :)
It's often easier to have an intermediary to get from the combine to the truck so you don't have to stop harvesting to drive all the way back to the truck. 160 square acres is a long drive back and forth every 15,000 pounds
10 grand for not even a full load… that’s a valuable commodity. I know it has a lot of inputs but quite a payday for dumping each truckload.
10 grand a load I'd sell it all while the money is good.
you guys got to a dryer to dry out the beans
8% today
@@HowFarmsWork Oh wow that's dryer than a popcorn fart... I'd be waiting for some rain to start combining again-- you give them away at that moisture level due to shrink! OL J R :)
Curious as to why you unload at the same time into a grain cart from the combine and then into the semi?
They where calibrating the combine, so they dumped into hopper with scale from Andrew.
@@goodiezgrigis It makes sense now. Thanks.
I'm a mentally disabled person who is interested in learning how to farm.
Get a bigger combine
Wait just one second Did I hear a Jake brake?
I think it’s time for a combine upgrade
Seems like either the combine or the semi trailer could be modded to assist with drying if need be.
Drying takes an enormous amount of energy. Closest thing is I've seen units to microwave the water out of alfalfa as it travels across the field and picks up the windrow. And that's a relatively small quantity of material to process per acre. And if I remember right that had it's own diesel generator, and the whole rig was mounted on a semi trailer.
That's what the air floor in the bin is for... but for just a point or two the dockage isn't bad so they usually just haul it straight to the elevator and let them deal with it. Lot more trouble than it's worth unloading into the bin to dry it down a dab and then into the truck and haul it... Plus as it turned out the moisture on the load was below the standard moisture anyway (12.7% instead of 13%) so they didn't get docked anyway! Later! OL J R :)
Get rid of that tiny combine
Yall should definitely upgrade the equipment soon to save some time and money
Keep in mind that the ability to keep up with the combine can be a limiting factor.
Yep spend half a million to save a couple thousand. Makes sense to me... LOL:) OL J R :)
For a winter project see about producing your own biodiesel for all your equipment. Also fuel costs if you converted the truck or tractors over to propane or make your own fuel alcohol and get everything running on that like the big pulling tractors. Get a bunch of solar or wind power installed and mine for cryptocurrency.
Harvest unicorn farts to sell to goobers on the internet while you're at it LOL:) Hilarious... but TOTALLY UNREALISTIC. Biodiesel sounds good there's some guys farting around with it but by the time you buy a cleaner and crusher mill to press the oil out and then you have to PROCESS the raw oil into biodiesel-- soybean oil is about 60% glycerin which must be treated with acid or alkali and REMOVED before it can be burned in an engine or it will gum it up and ruin it... then you have to have a market for the glycerin to make it even attempt to pay... or you can just sell the d@mn soybeans and take the money and leave it to the big processors to actually make the biodiesel and deal with the inputs and byproducts and all the other crap required to make good biodiesel. Propane isn't a bad fuel at all, but nobody is really set up to handle it anymore and all farm equipment of any size that was built after the 1970's is diesel, not spark ignition, so you can't convert to propane without a total engine swap, unless you just want to bleed in some propane to burn with the diesel (which is an old trick from the 70's to actually increase power out of a diesel engine). With these computerized diesel engines now, though, trying it will probably cause the computer to cross it's eyes and sh!t itself, and/or blow up the engine or hopelessly fvck up the stupid emission garbage they put on the newer tractors. IOW not worth the trouble. Lots of farm equipment in the 50's, 60's, and 70's was propane powered, but that's when they still made gas powered versions AND diesel versions, and sometimes factory propane powered conversions from gas models. They quit that in the 70's though and it's been all diesel ever since. Back then propane and butane were dirt cheap, which is why they were popular. Diesel is more energy dense... if it takes about say 3 gallons of diesel to do the same work as about 4 gallons of gasoline, and it would take about 5 gallons of propane to do the same work, because propane is not as energy dense as gasoline or especially diesel. Propane is high now, and in terms of BTU's per $$ about on par with gasoline or diesel, so no advantage to the farmers there!
Ethanol sounds easy to make but you have to basically be running a distillery...Have to clean the corn grind it to dust to make mash, mix it with water to make mash and add yeast in a highly temperature controlled process to ferment it into alcohol, then boil off the alcohol and distill it then boil it down again to concentrate it into pure alcohol, filter it, store it, blend it, etc. Then you have to deal with the mash-- either dry it into dry distiller's grain "DDG" cattle feed, which takes a special setup, or feed it right away before it rots as "wet distiller's grain" "WDG"; you get about 3 gallons of ethanol and 44 lbs of DDG back out of every 56 lb bushel of corn IIRC... OR you can just sell the d@mn corn coming out of the field and let the big ethanol plants deal with the hassle of all that sh!t and buy the fuel you need already in proper condition and additives and stuff to run right in your vehicles without destroying their engines...
It all sounds SO EASY from behind a keyboard LOL:) OL J R :)
Farming seems like a really good investment because everyone needs food and someone has to produce the best. The economy makes it so scary to invest in.
Farming provides a path to financial freedom, a not so flexible schedule, and the personal fulfillment of helping families enjoy wonderful meals all over the world. Few careers can offer this much in this present economy. My interest in my farming business was renewed after making a good ROI with cypto currency investing with William Tuinstra. I believe owning a farming business is more fun and profitable with a side or passive income to accompanying it.
@Michelle Daisy That's one way to be retired and free of financial stress. I have little to no knowledge about crypto. Do you mind telling me how to reach out to Mr William? I will love to get more info.
@@Tech_Stoner I made a lot of money investing with Mr William but at the end of the day, Money doesn't bring as much happiness farming brings to me. Mr William is a good fellow who is out there to help others improve in life.
