    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.

    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!

    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
