We call irrigation pivots, sprinklers, that row on wheel’s that move slow in the fields on timers. They’re a pain to work on but easy to move. That was nice of Dougo to help his neighbor out for all the help he did for the Larson’s Farm. Good job.
Chet enjoy these years with your parents, one day they won’t be here, luckily you have these videos, but it’s not the same, you have a great family enjoy these times and tell dougo yes in texas we are well aware of wind burn lol
Yup, windburn. Anyone who spends time out in the windy cold knows it! You can really feel it when you come back indoors where it's warm, especially if you get near a wood stove! Great explanation by Erik! And Chet too! Thanks to Dougo too! Much appreciated gents!
I had never heard of tiling in farm fields and its importance until your videos. But I’m a city girl. It’s really something how much work farmers have to do to prepare fields for planting. I appreciate your explanations.
Douggo honour is that - service received service rendered. The whole sense of owing to someone and paying back by a solid deed. So right and no fuss added. I have no issue in saying that I am impressed.
In a particular way your day was a productive one. Helping a neighbour as always good. Entering electronic information that could help decades from now is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your day.
Y’all are my comic relief every time I see Larson Farm posted!!! Yes (us in the South) do know what wind burn feels like and it isn’t pleasant! But we all do what we have to do! Yes! We all know you and everyone else LOVE to poke the bear and I do not think the bear minds being poked all the time!!! Y’all are truly one big family and it’s remarkable that you all can work so well together and not argue OR GET INTO MORE MISCHIEF.😜🤪😀😇❤ Keep up the good work! BS you are doing a great job!!!
The Larson crew are just the same as everyone else, of course they argue, they just have the good sense not to put that kind of content on RUclips. Love what you do fellows, keep on sending it.
Dougo, being from the heart of Dixie - Alabama, yes we're very accustomed to wind burn, but only in the dryer months of the year - November - March and early April. Still could not survive your winters though. Y'all are very hearty folks. Merry Christmas!
We call these irrigators "pivots" in LaPorte County, Indiana (the most irrigated county in Indiana). The one in your video is fixed in one spot, but the some of the ones we use in Indiana can be towed from pad to pad to utilize one system in several locations in a larger field. They're light enough that a 4020 can pull them. They are maintenance hogs and they'll always blow a tire, snap a drive axle, or drop a sprinkler in the middle of a 6' tall corn field on the hottest, most humid day of July. Guaranteed. That's why we also call them "irritators."
Doug, your farming buddy will be very happy with your work. Always precision oriented with Doug, no slap happy non-sense. Again, Larsons are the neighbors you want.
I live in Florida and I know all about wind burn Dougo! Any one who works out side knows it don’t matter what state your in! I just got it this week cold front come through and wind was straight out of the north face was burning time I got home!
After I got out of the army in '91, I helped put in water lines from wellheads to centerpivots for a couple months. Usually dig, install, and bury 1/4 mile of pipe 5-6 ft deep in a day. Did this in Nebraska where irrigating is prevalent.
Had to laugh at Eric..I just made Lefse this past weekend! 5 lbs of potatoes! 3 lbs of REAL butter, heavy cream! and lots of sugar!!! Best eaten warm in my opinion, but love it with coffee in the morning!
Dougo, the trench was awsome, I was looking at it and thout wow what a great job for a non professional backhow operator and exavator. Doug, I am 70 years old and have a bit of experience and now retired, please please come to terms with your age and quit worrying about it and compafing to you younger years. I will say that what really sruprised me was how fast I lost my balance and strength, so eat right and start getting a plan to keep you strenght in the future and you will work many more years and hopefully get a few grandchildren which you will be crazy about.
I’m just guessing here Dougo. But I’m assuming that I’m about the same age as you are, if not a few years older. But a GOOD pair of quality sunglasses, makes all the difference in the world. It can’t be the cheap ones you buy at a convenience store. But, if you look around and are willing to spend a little money, good quality sunglasses really help make things so much sharper in bright light and even on cloudy days, it helps see things way better.
*- To stop windburn, skiing at temperatures below zero F., we always used petroleum jelly or even wax lip balm.* *- Try it, you will be surprised at how well it works.*
Note to yourself if you ever have a power company installing underground lines remind them you have tile lines in the area. We had ours severed where a line crossed under the town road. After we realized it they did pay for the repairs.
Can we just appreciate the fact that only Dougo could tie pigs and windburn together in the same story. Also curious to know how far away this farm was. Larson's and Zach Johnson are both spending money to try and shed water, and these guys are spending money to add water. Crazy
interesting question. There are distinct "lines" if you will in MN regarding soil composition. I don't know why, this is just a thought - when the glaciers receded it left different distinct soils. if you look at your hand that is kind of how a glacier looks with fingers. Pull your hand back and there will be distinct lines. We are having a new building built at my work and I was talking to the excavator guys and they said this soil is way different than the county over.
Thanks for another great video Chet and Eric. It was interesting. Eric thanks for explaining the mapping process to us. A little more to it than one thinks. But nevertheless it is important to have these records of the tile lines and where they are at. It was interesting and appreciated the lesson in mapping a field. Chet and Dougo I am sure you did a great job for this gentleman and putting in his water lines for an irrigation project. Pretty deep in some places. Be careful Chet and watch for cave ins. Dangerous business in deep digging. Great you are paying back another farmer for work he did for you at harvest time. Pay back time. Being good neighbors. Wind burn is just as bad as sunburn. Put some burn lotion on your face to help. About it I guess. Thanks for everything Chet. You all take care and be safe. Interesting video. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Every time a hurricane comes through, they are on the ground. We have several companies that build them in my area because they run everything through them and they rust out. Going down the highway to install. One person pulls and another guy sits in an open seat and steers the rear part.
Dougo is right. Trenching in the winter, all the sun comes in the cab, and none in the trench where you are pretty much digging in the blind. If you know, you know. 😂
You need to be really careful being down in the trenches. If the soil collapses you could be in grave danger. Happened to a plumber here. Broke his sternum and several ribs. Crushed him. Months to recover. Lucky to be alive.
I'm from Eastern NC and yes we do get wind burn faces but not with the extreme cold you guys have. The wind itself is the cause, but the cold I'm sure makes it that much worse.
You guys should be real careful you guys should have a shoring box slope of the ditch 42 in of tall wall osha will have a field if anything please get a ladder and have it within 25 ft of you at all times please thank you for the great video
I disagree with that they can come anywhere there like a game warden just be more careful in your ditches when you're that deep you should be using a shorn box I've seen two people die because of that attitude I really like to see you guys make all these nice videos I just don't want to see you end up like two of the people I've seen in the ditches die keep up the good work and just be safe thank you
Eric that JD 220 disc has spring loaded scrapers that screech all the time so it's probably your scrapers instead of a bearing. I know I had a JD 230 disc and I replaced a LOT of scrapers.
Great to watch tiling which i have never done. I just love the optimism that the software will still work on the new tractor systems they come up with 10yrs!! Keep hoping. Great job
I live in northern NSW, Australia at an elevation of around 3400ft a.s.l. and have suffered windburn many times through our winters (which are not as severe as yours, but still cold by Australian standards) and it is very unpleasant. It is very much like sunburn, but probably worse except that it usually only hits your face and hands if your not wearing gloves. Keep up the good work guys, love the vids.
Windburn can be bad. I used to get it on my ears skiing in the Wisconsin winters cause I always just wore a ball cap. My ears would peel all the winter long.
Swede I think you can select particular colors when laying flags. So just make all of the false flags another color other than the ones that already exist
Let's dig an irrigation line boys - we are all excited to see how this turns out in the middle of winter when you should be home in front of your wood stove! But Dougo is NOT excited. never be the trench guy... OSHA follows these videos too! Struggling in the gumbo... that's a great explanation Eric the Swede! So what is wind burn... well, it's terrible: Windburn is a condition in which the skin becomes red and painful after exposure to wind or cold air. Windburn symptoms are the same as sunburn symptoms and include red, burning, and sore skin that may peel off as it begins to heal.
I'm a excavator operator full time and age has nothing to do with not being able to see with the low sun late in the year I'm 32 and it's always in your eyes this time of year dougo
i all way's loved rassin' my Dad ! He was 22 year my elder ! We had a great son- father relationship farming ! he passed in 2008 ! I still miss the farm conversations , my mother ,still alive has killed the farm ! due to greed!
Before we bought our new John Deere 325G skiddy we tried out that JCB. The telescoping part was great, I did NOT like the hydraulic controls. They were very clunky.
3:45 - I´m so sorry to haer about your "lefse" emptiness! Well, the Norwegian way to go about it, is to get a grip and get on with it! Worry about the lefse later. Just don´t make a habit out of it. If you´re promised lefse, you should most definately have lefse, but finish your work first, it is more important.
We call irrigation pivots, sprinklers, that row on wheel’s that move slow in the fields on timers. They’re a pain to work on but easy to move.
That was nice of Dougo to help his neighbor out for all the help he did for the Larson’s Farm. Good job.
Chet, you are too much (love you)..."I like to laugh and poke the bear." Fantastic father and son team.
Don’t let Dougo pull your leg he had a lot of in playing in the dirt. Eric had a lot of fun today as well
Chet enjoy these years with your parents, one day they won’t be here, luckily you have these videos, but it’s not the same, you have a great family enjoy these times and tell dougo yes in texas we are well aware of wind burn lol
Loved Eric's mapping demonstration today! Thanks again, Larson Crew.
Duggo, have your eyes checked for cataracts. You have classic signs of it. I'm 64 and have had both eyes done. What a difference!
Congratulations to Brody & Cali on your family addition coming in April!
Congratulations Chet and Jean Marie. Wish you all the best.
when is or was the wedding or do I have to sent your mom a message to get the scoop
I haven't heard anyone talk about Lefsa since I was a little girl living in Maynard, MS. Thanks for the memories, Eric.
Yup, windburn. Anyone who spends time out in the windy cold knows it! You can really feel it when you come back indoors where it's warm, especially if you get near a wood stove!
Great explanation by Erik! And Chet too! Thanks to Dougo too! Much appreciated gents!
Sorrry Chet your dad is the star of the show.
I had never heard of tiling in farm fields and its importance until your videos. But I’m a city girl. It’s really something how much work farmers have to do to prepare fields for planting. I appreciate your explanations.
Beautiful sunset! Dougo, you’re not old yet! That 220 disk with bent tube frame was revolutionary in its day in the early ‘70’s.
Douggo honour is that - service received service rendered. The whole sense of owing to someone and paying back by a solid deed. So right and no fuss added. I have no issue in saying that I am impressed.
Doug don’t stress. It looked great and the price was right. Erik, nice job explaining everything. Technology is a great asset when it works.
In a particular way your day was a productive one. Helping a neighbour as always good. Entering electronic information that could help decades from now is fantastic. Thanks for sharing your day.

...only seen the crop circles from the air ...water is plentiful here in Michigan ... so we don't have these ...
They are called pivots in Kansas as well...
Doug, your farming buddy will be very happy with your work. Always precision oriented with Doug, no slap happy non-sense. Again, Larsons are the neighbors you want.
The Larson's always due great work even on other farms.
Dougo, you're a good man sir.
Always looking foward for new content. Take care
I live in Florida and I know all about wind burn Dougo! Any one who works out side knows it don’t matter what state your in! I just got it this week cold front come through and wind was straight out of the north face was burning time I got home!
Congratulations Chet & Jean Marie ♥️
I’m from the subtropics of Queensland Australia….. we get windburn too! Damn winter westerlies
Eric, did you say Lefse? Yup finished a couples batches for Christmas. A Norwegians staple. 🎄
This Norskie says Uff-Da as well to it! Butter and maple syrup for me, please.....
You guys are my number one farming family, Millennial Farmer 2nd , Cole the corn cob last..........😊
Cole is not a corn star that's for sure
Don't forget Laura Farms & Fast Ag. Rounding out my top 5 would be Sonne Farms or those Welker boys :)
Oh Dougo! You are so right about that age thing. It will happen to all of us if we are here long enough,
Thanks for the explanation on the tile patterns, Eric. Really showed why its important and why its as close as it is.
Yep Doug. It just happens, can't do anything about it, frustrating at best. Proud of you Brother!
Wind burn to me is worse than a sun burn.
Have a great Christmas to all of you.
Great video! Love how you say that you like to poke the bear! You got to explain that it is a teddy bear.😀

That ditch was not good at all. If you had experience like you say you would know that. If he was on my job digging ditch like that he’d be fired.
I really appreciate all the RUclips content you post. Please keep posting whenever you can. Like/Love them all. Happy subscriber 😊!

Note to yourself if you ever have a power company installing underground lines remind them you have tile lines in the area. We had ours severed where a line crossed under the town road. After we realized it they did pay for the repairs.
That’s the great Big Swede we’ve been waiting for!
Can we just appreciate the fact that only Dougo could tie pigs and windburn together in the same story.

The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Lefse……I bet my family are the only people in Arkansas familiar with that. Have not had it in years and sure miss it!!
Doug u do know it, and so will the young bucks when they age.
Every time a hurricane comes through, they are on the ground. We have several companies that build them in my area because they run everything through them and they rust out. Going down the highway to install. One person pulls and another guy sits in an open seat and steers the rear part.

Chet Dougo Eric Broodie Chris great job enjoyed it thank you for sharing and your time great explanations can't wait for next video thank you
Just got me a pair of brunts, oh my you guys don’t lie, there the most comfortable pair of boots I’ve ever had!!!
TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHET 😊
Chet…Look at this baby, JBC??? I thought it was JCB baby! 😂😂😂
Oh Dougie, you gotta be an optimist Dougie don’t worry Dougie everything will work out Dougie good boy Dougie
You guys should be real careful you guys should have a shoring box slope of the ditch 42 in of tall wall osha will have a field if anything please get a ladder and have it within 25 ft of you at all times please thank you for the great video
OSHA has no jurisdiction on farms with 10 or less full time employees.
I disagree with that they can come anywhere there like a game warden just be more careful in your ditches when you're that deep you should be using a shorn box I've seen two people die because of that attitude I really like to see you guys make all these nice videos I just don't want to see you end up like two of the people I've seen in the ditches die keep up the good work and just be safe thank you

No wind burn in Vegas baby, all rock excavating thou.
Dougo pretty fancy skills in the excavator
Great to watch tiling which i have never done. I just love the optimism that the software will still work on the new tractor systems they come up with 10yrs!! Keep hoping. Great job
Ill ask my brother in law about the flag markings. He actually use to design the globle software and still works for Deere.
watching this on a day that got up to 55 today near Cannon Falls MN!
I’m in NW Oklahoma and we are very familiar with wind burn. Both in the summer and winter.
8:20 Here in Sweden, enormous amounts of tile lines break because the contractors don't care. That is, if they even manage to bury the fibre
Here im Eastern NC were its flat and always windy we know all about wind burn 😅
I live in northern NSW, Australia at an elevation of around 3400ft a.s.l. and have suffered windburn many times through our winters (which are not as severe as yours, but still cold by Australian standards) and it is very unpleasant.

Windburn can be bad. I used to get it on my ears skiing in the Wisconsin winters cause I always just wore a ball cap.
My ears would peel all the winter long.
If you like the jcb Ryan at how farms works has one for a few years. Very few issues
Irrigation is nice when they work
May I suggest the yellow lenses for glare that was mentioned? There are clip-ons that can be used with regular glasses.
Swede I think you can select particular colors when laying flags. So just make all of the false flags another color other than the ones that already exist
Let's dig an irrigation line boys - we are all excited to see how this turns out in the middle of winter when you should be home in front of your wood stove!

OSHA has no jurisdiction over repaying a favor.to a friend!!
OSHA had no jurisdiction on farms with less than 10 full time employees.
So OSHA has no jurisdiction over Larson Farms
I'm a excavator operator full time and age has nothing to do with not being able to see with the low sun late in the year I'm 32 and it's always in your eyes this time of year dougo
Believe it or not Dougo…we get wind burned down here in Texas as well. lol
i all way's loved rassin' my Dad ! He was 22 year my elder ! We had a great son- father relationship farming ! he passed in 2008 ! I still miss the farm conversations , my mother ,still alive has killed the farm ! due to greed!
Yes down south in Louisiana we do get wind burn from the cold.
Great job. That soil was a little different than I’m used to. Interesting 🧐
Larson Farm’n🇺🇸
😎
thank you
Yes. People in the south can get wind burn. I’ve had it.
Perhaps a JCC in your future? Fun video. Thanks for taking us along.
😮 Another job for well done by the Larson's
Correct - no wind burn in Alabama. I remember it from when I was a kid in IA
Love our JCB skid steer
Soil is Glacial till. Hence all the gravel below the clay layer.
Good luck on the big day!
Great video Guys//awesome job guys
Always a pleasure to see your videos!
Great vid. I am surprised they don't allow you to change color of flags so you could set them for different things.
Farming has got so technical Ican sympathize with Dougo head shaking.
Great video as always! I run excavator up here by Edmonton Alberta, Canada. I definitely felt what you were saying about the sun, it’s brutal. Haha
Lefse before Christmas would be a great treat.
Doug is so rite ... first the eyes go then the knees ... we just get readers for the eyes tho ... hate another 29 years ...
DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE ON THE ROAD EITHER. LOVE THE VIDEO
13:36 look at this baby JBC 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes we get wind burn in the winter and summer
Bye my late afternoon turkey sandwich, I was up to 147000 calories. Worked it off on deer drive the next morning! God bless
Before we bought our new John Deere 325G skiddy we tried out that JCB. The telescoping part was great, I did NOT like the hydraulic controls. They were very clunky.
I really like the idea of that side door. I'd love to get one, but I hear a lot of not-so-great reviews...
You fancy 1 of those JCB tracked skid steers? They’re a lot easier to get in and out of than a Bobcat and loads more visibility
Great video. Dougo was worn out. :)
3:45 - I´m so sorry to haer about your "lefse" emptiness! Well, the Norwegian way to go about it, is to get a grip and get on with it! Worry about the lefse later. Just don´t make a habit out of it. If you´re promised lefse, you should most definately have lefse, but finish your work first, it is more important.
In case you didn't know, JCB is a British company with a similar product line to CAT.
And they suck
