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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 😊👍🏻👍🏻
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
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.
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!
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
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.
Outstanding video. WOW! Thank you for your hard work feeding and providing for this great land of America and Thank you for documenting the process. Awesome!! May you and all your families be blessed and prosper!!!
43:42 My respect to all farmers. I also commend the designers, engineers, and fabricators who create these remarkable agricultural machines. Thank you for sharing this informative video.
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
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.🌄
Great work Mike!!! In this day of AI where the computer reigns supreme your farm videos show the amazing role hydraulics play in our everyday lives. What would we do without them?
What the heck does AI have to do with this video? More importantly, where is your mind at to be watching this video and compare it to computers and artificial intelligence?
@@HAWKSTA24 well if you would care to check it the whole combine is run and controlled by computer that regulates everything on the machine. Nothing functions on machine without it.
The equipment can rely on computer control without the fairy-tale AI. The computers still have to be programmed by humans. I'll accept AI after one computer falls in love with another computer, they get married and they give birth to little computers. It ain't gonna happen.
Wow, what a cineastic masterpiece!! Just finished the first half of the 3rd cut for silage and now some relaxing time with youre fantastic pictures. Greetings from south tyrol, the northest part of italy!! Wolfgang
Because of the way the farm bill is structured your chances of being a farmer are pretty much nil. The Farm Bill caters to the largest farms and leaves the smaller ones with not much to survive on. In fact it pushes a lot of them, smaller family farms, out of business because of the $$MM$$ paid to large farms to outbid land purchases and leases with money they DON'T need at all.
It's marvelous mike keep it up good achievement on agriculture machinery wise you're top and on any work done you're are ready on everything congratulations mike and I am sure you will invite me to your farm i see and I experience it live i love it thank you.
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!
engineers are geniuses
Your videos are incredibly informative and helpful for farmers. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience!

Heavy machines are mostly manufactured in Vietnam
Quite an operation. Thank you for giving us a bird's eye view of all the goings-on.

Amazing machines that make people happier
Wow, what an incredible glimpse into the wheat harvest at Crossroad Farms! 🚜🌾 The hard work, precision, and dedication are truly inspiring.
Great video. Farmers wait all year for this moment. Beautiful machines. Respect sent to all farmers ....from Fort Worth, Texas

Love all the stats on these machines. Found your channel because I am a fan of Tracy Zeorian who introduced me to these big harvesting machines.
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.
John Deere must love it, when these guys walk in their front door...
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.
What can I say? This farm is awesome project. Your video got something. It's not just a movie, it's an art, art of farming.
The Logistics of Farming, too many people in this world take the intellect of a farmer for granted.
totally amazing the volume these machines do, sure do appreciate our farmers, God Dang

It’s definitely not that blokes first day 😂
So much valuable info in this video. Thanks for sharing!
Great views.
This is a great reminder of how important farming is.
Excellent Footage
Thank for a nice video
That is a monster combine 😮
Oh how those fires made for some spectacular sunsets
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.
Feeling so proud as one of John Deere's suppliers.
The Mil-Stak bale stacker in action is so satisfying to watch! Perfect teamwork with the balers and rakes. 🐾✨
Outstanding video. WOW! Thank you for your hard work feeding and providing for this great land of America and Thank you for documenting the process. Awesome!!
May you and all your families be blessed and prosper!!!
Great video, as always.
Excellent video Mike ... thank you
Farming simulator 22 anyone? :D
Played with these exact machines in my setup. So satisfying to see the real behemoths chugging through the field.
The 9R and all the larger tracked equipment is so cool and that grain cart is huge.
43:42 My respect to all farmers. I also commend the designers, engineers, and fabricators who create these remarkable agricultural machines. Thank you for sharing this informative video.

This is the best video about harvesting I have ever seen
I could sit and listen to that baler all day long!
Excellent video 😎
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.🌄
Amazing machines that make people happier

Смотришь как люди работают и поражаешься,на сколько у них всё качественно,и техника и урожай обработка , просто молодцы
Wish I had access to such equipment in real life! Amazing
I love the of that john deere.baler

They Defiantly have the best equipment money can buy with the John dear and Wilson trailer you can't get better than that IMO.
Truly giants, admiration for those who created them
Excellent video. Really enjoyed watching!😀
Capacity to new levels! Keep up the good work. Great video Mike. Your drone shots are excellent..
Dice Drone work Man..... so many great screenshots for those inclined.... excellent.

Wow mike you were sure busy in this video you did a fantastic job on this video. Thank you mike keep up the good
Gog bless keep up god bless
Amazing how modern day farmers accomplished their task with hi-tech farm machineries. I won't mind being a farmer with all those machines....😍

1:12:25 is that cube will use for sometink?
Your video is very good, I really enjoy the machinery during harvesting ❤
Nice equipment
Thank for this content
Приятно смотреть,как все это,происходит….Здорово!!!!👍👌
I'm guessing Mike that your videos are just as much fun to make as they are to watch
Фантастика!!!
Capacity to new levels! Keep up the good work🤠
My 2 year old loves these videos
It's marvelous mike keep it up good achievement on agriculture machinery wise you're top and on any work done you're are ready on everything congratulations mike and I am sure you will invite me to your farm i see and I experience it live i love it thank you.
