    Summer Schedule
    Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
    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 think it's safe to say that this "new" sprayer Travis bought and fixed up is a massive upgrade over the defunct one sitting in your shed. If it does the job well and allows you to avoid having to call for a self-propelled model from Nutrien to come out and do the same job, I'll chalk it up as a win. Who doesn't like winning? Thanks for the video.

    Liked the back lit shots at 7:48. That really showed the spray pattern. It'll be interesting to see what the results are once you go to cut it, if you notice more / thicker / higher crop when cutting, or obviously more bales in the fertilized area vs the non. Lookin' forward to some TROTS vids from Travis laying down fert on his new hay ground. And the belt - pure Yankee ingenuity. To steal a line from the movie Heartbreak Ridge - You improvised, you adapted, you overcame.

Ther hay needs ther calcium. Do you have any soil tests? Also another thing. My sprayer needs to be running at 25 to 30 psi minimum to Gerry the nozzles to tm on decent

    Ryan says that the sprayer has been welded before. He must not watch his brother's channel because it was travis that welded it before.

    @philipnicholls9724 4 года назад

    Hi there from the UK. I would say the only reason you were having a few issues was because you were going to slowly forward. The nozzles were too large for your forward speed, hence the low spraying pressure and it was finding it hard to overcome the anti drip diaphragms in the nozzle holders. Have a look out for a nozzle chart and that will be a good guide to what speed you need. Or just go a little faster or add some more water. You also need to keep the booms up, as you didn’t look to be covering all the ground between the nozzles.

But i think their ground up there is a lot better than central indiana, Im guessing. Has to be, or hes a liar on all their yields. And im not saying that, but even knowing the way to get best corn some farmers choose to not pay high fertilizer bills and just take the loss. In a real farm world...

    rule of thumb for fescue on turf lawns is 1lb of Nitrogen per thousand sq ft..it probably needs P and K too, if the root structure is short below the soil you'll get less yield because it won't handle drought as well either. not sure what they call for when it comes to hay but i think your too low on N, like i said, thats just the turf side of my mind thinking. i would take soil samples though for sure. figure out what your lacking in the soil.

    If you were spraying product on plants, like a weed killer, you would want more of a mist. Those nozzles might be too large unless you up the volume and drive faster, but that might be hard on the sprayer if the ground is rough. For fertilizer it might be okay as it puts the product into the ground more than on the grass.
