I love all the noises that the machines make. Fascinating to see how this farming works. I would have no idea if it wasn't for this video. I'm subscribing.
Respect sent to all famers. The same respect sent to the designers, engineers and fabricators that build these fantastic farming machines. Thank you for sharing this great video, well done sir. 👏👍🇺🇸
Mike I am one of many that has never seen such great equipment and I have lived my entire life of 90 years in the USA. It takes great skills to build and operate the harvesters. Thanks for showiing this video to us.
Mike, thanks, great videos. That is our food, that is the source. Then the journey to our table. People need to know. All that investment, high risk due to weather and other factors. It could all go wrong. Thank the farmers.
This farm operation isn’t far from me and it’s awesome seeing the video. It’s a huge operation and Mike has really gone through hoops to give us this inside view because we’re seeing more of the operations in this video than you can even see in person. Very private ordeal with multiple landlords and owners. So thank you very much for this opportunity. For those wondering how large this farm operation is just know for North America and the Midwest it’s a big operation and closed info to the public for several reasons.
Because in that area they probably have ran some families out of business and are not liked......Do ya really need all this? NO. But its nice to watch and Mike does a good job for sure..
@@davehughesfarm7983 Yes Dave, you are probably right on target with your post. The bigger problem is that Crossroad Farms didn't get this large all by itself. They had over $15.5M in help from the federal government, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Almost anyone can make it with that much financial backing without having to do any more work to get it. Farming is considered to be of a national security type business and if that is the case then there should be more people on the land and not less and less farmers. It's a can't fail dilemma which guarantees wealthy farmers to become even more wealthy at the taxpayer's expense. Subsidies SHOULD be based on need, income and start-ups and NOT volume of production. I was born and raised farming too and our backup was livestock and not subsidized crop insurance, price guarantees, etc. A big belly is quickly becoming a trademark of modern American farming. Isn't it comforting to know that most all the equipment in this video is "owned" by the American taxpayer but the taxpayer will never see a return on investment? Take a look.... farm.ewg.org/persondetail.php?custnumber=A03182883 BTW, nice video Mike.
From more than 70% of the population involved in farming just 200 years ago to less than 5% now. It's almost nostalgia for our genes to watch this great content.
Your almost at 3 million as of the 25 jan 2024 I wondered why then i watched it all Mike not bad not bad at all my friend a little bit of everything in there which is good Keep up the good work.🌄
Let's see. 2 Combines at a million a piece, Bank out wagons and tractors anoer million a set. Three tractor and three balers @750 t0 850 a piece, bale wagons times 2 gotta be another 1.5 million. Then the ground prep and planting. More money than I've seen in once place in a long long times. Great video Mike.
I was watching from Pretoria, South africa, it is absolutely amazing of how well organized this whole operation is with harvesting the Corn until, new Corn was planted again!!😂 Johan van Vuuren
Mike, I've been watching your channel for years. You have countless great videos. This is in the top 5. I'll be watching this one many times!! Thank you for your time. 😊👍🏻👍🏻
The music by Berty Solo was excellent!! Watching the work combined with that music...well all I can say is...the next thing I know...the sun was coming up!! LOL
Always appreciate your honesty in your videos. Carbon to nitrogen ratio means everything with regeneration ag additional to abused soils. Each year you have more roots and residue the more forgiveness your soil will have. We figured out that taking a precentage of our dry program out and using those dollars with a low-salt infurrow gets us up and going quicker and dryer in the fall on corn especially in the colder springs here lately with a sugar source and water diluting it down to run 5gal an acre. Youre bringing the best out of tough ground. You will wish you did it 20 years ago when your soil structure catches up. Many blessings to you, your family and operation!
To all the farmers, my deepest respect and admiration. The same goes to the brilliant designers, engineers, and fabricators who craft these incredible farming machines that make a difference every day. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Truly well done, sir
This video is really informative! I love how you explain each step of the wheat harvesting process. It helps me understand more about agriculture and the hard work farmers put in
We farmed 750 acres in Aurora Indiana just south of Connersville for most of my childhood. That area is now the Brookville reservoir. I sure wish we had some of this equipment growing up.
I’m so impressed by how you blend technology with organic farming! It's amazing to see modern machines used to support sustainable practices. Keep it up! 🌱🚜 #Inspiring
So are these guys like the “corporate farmers “ ? I mean these guys here are running millions of dollars of equipment here . Any how I am extremely enjoying watching this . Especially the combines . Thank you for your video it is mesmerizing , and it sure beats the hell out of watching reruns. 😂
Thanks, Mike for excellence in recording this harvest. This video ranks there with the Parkside Farms harvest video of a few years back. I'm looking forward to more from you this harvest season.
thumbs up to that operator at 49 minutes - thats some sweet skills... I challenge anyone to find a better overall harvest farming video - this is spectacular and shows what follows the harvesting. Thanks Mike :)
When I was a kid I helped a local farm at harvest time. That farm was a MUCH smaller operation. We baled straw and hay and loaded the bales up by hand on old flatbed haywagons behind a john deere 2030. Mind you, I'm only 28. This was early 2000s. Those bales were much smaller than these. But boy that Bale picker in this video is an awesome machine! I can still smell the diesel from that tractor, I can feel the late evening sun on my skin and the dust in my teeth! Good times
The same respect sent to the designers, engineers and fabricators that build these fantastic farming machines.
Today I doing nothing iwahtching Farm Videos
@GeneralAgriNest79 yeah
They deserve to be honored.
@@Uniquemachine01 That's right!

Heavy machines are mostly manufactured in Vietnam
John Deere must love it, when these guys walk in their front door...

Great video Mike,nice combines.
Quite an operation. Thank you for giving us a bird's eye view of all the goings-on.
Great video. Farmers wait all year for this moment. Beautiful machines. Respect sent to all farmers ....from Fort Worth, Texas
From more than 70% of the population involved in farming just 200 years ago to less than 5% now. It's almost nostalgia for our genes to watch this great content.
You're right. That Deere baler is the coolest sounding piece of farm equipment.
That is a monster combine 😮
Wow, what an operation! The money in equipment there is just amazing.
Wow, what an incredible glimpse into the wheat harvest at Crossroad Farms! 🚜🌾 The hard work, precision, and dedication are truly inspiring.
Oh how those fires made for some spectacular sunsets
That is some impresive machinery
Siz bu işin hakkını fazlasıyla veriyorsunuz. İki seneden fazladır sizi izliyorum, sizin kadar kaliteli video çeken birini görmedim

Harvest is a great time to experience hands on at least once in a lifetime.

The 9R and all the larger tracked equipment is so cool and that grain cart is huge.

Thank for this content
Truly giants, admiration for those who created them
Your video is very good, I really enjoy the machinery during harvesting ❤

I can still smell the diesel from that tractor, I can feel the late evening sun on my skin and the dust in my teeth! Good times
the precision and uniformity of all this just makes me feel so very good.
