Funny coincidence, over here in germany the rain just won't stop. We're just waiting for things to dry up and to start harvest. Good luck and god bless you and your crop.
Yes, its nearly impossible do make hay right now because its not even two days in a row without rain
how is the quality so far of the crop with rain so close to harvest?
@mmm365 so is the rest of the anomalies either too much or not enough is due to geoengineering
I can see, saw it on German MotoGP there was rain going and very low temperature..
@@salttea8926 yes 15°C on day and 8°C in the night - in July. Thats more like April
Oh Nick, your hurt is so evident in uour voice. I am praying for you all as hard as i can. Please dont lose hope, we're all rooting for you.
God bless, and keep us updated.
God bless. Hope the rain keeps coming slow and steady.
Praying for you and your family to receive the rain you need. Keep your faith and God will provide. Amen
Praying for u guys. I’m in central Minnesota and drought broke and we are now really wet . Southwest Minnesota is swamped. Really hoping u guys get the rain seen Mike Mitchell’s farms has gotten a bunch. It will come believe in the lord and yes keep your head up. Blessings to you and family and thanks for producing for the nation
really hope you get the rain you need, and it's really nice to have video updates. I would also like to see an update on the house for both of you, it has given me great interest and I like what you are creating. we pray together with you from Norway for a good year 🙏🏻
Praying for rain! God is good! Us dairy farmers in Wisconsin are swimming and the corn looks horrible but we will trust in God no matter the outcome.
I hope your rain total is what you needed! As I know you all will keep the faith and hope. Good crops are coming!! Blessings and thanks for sharing.
Your resilience in facing a season-defining storm exemplifies your unwavering determination and commitment. Your ability to navigate challenges with such steadfastness is truly admirable, ensuring the success and continuity of your endeavors. Wishing you strength and favorable outcomes as you weather through. And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.
Praying you get the rain needed. I know its been a hard past couple of years!! Thankful you all know the Lord and trust in him!! May He encourage your hearts!!
I feel for you guys. I have been praying for you guys for the last four years, I thought this was going to be your year. Keep your chin up better days are coming
I’ve prayed every night for 4 years for God to Bless all of Montana. Hopefully this year is the year.
Praying for rain for you all ! 🙏 It sure was solid start, farming is a day-to-day gamble it seems. Enjoyed the longer video Ty for sharing ! God Bless
I have watched you guys for several years now the way you work hard the way you fix things instead of buying new. I know and realize its a struggle. I pray every year that you will have a bumper crop so much that the bins won't hold it. Thank you for sharing your way of life with us.
Hey Hollywood I feel your pain here in Australia I was born at the start of of 14 year drought.
I'm 29 now and we have had 3 awesome years in a row.
Hope you guys get a few awesome years to come
Slow and steady are the best rains. Let that rain soak in. We are a fruit farm in SW Ontario. Apples peaches apricots cherries plums....... We are fortunate we were able to build a large irrigation pond. A well keeps the pond full when we are irrigating. Shallow water table here. However, 1 inch of rain will do what 3-4 inches of irrigation will do. It is so amazing what a little rain can do. AMAZING! Keep hoping and praying. It will come for you. The Pete is looking great. Nice job guys.
I would love to send some of the rain from here your way. We have flooding and dam failures. It's been really crazy. I'm praying things get better for you and you have a good crop this fall. Please stay safe, and God bless.
heavy rain just washes over the ground light rain ging for a few hours just lets the plants and the ground to soak it into the plants plus the Nitrogen from the atmosphere just gives the plants the boost they need to keep going
guys everyone who follows you are always praying for y.all
East Central MN, lot of acres did not get planted due to rains.
Now affecting haying too.
Brothers we are praying for y'all. We are needed rain in a bad way here in Pinehurst Georgia to. Some of our dryland cotton has started blooming out of the top which means it is through.
Thanks for another great video Welkers.
It was most informative and interesting and lots to digest on the crops.
Nick, heartfelt thanks to you for your detailed analysis of the crop situation!!! I thought you did a magnificent job of explaining how your soil and your area and the different crops you grow interact with the moisture they get. Your in depth explanation helped me understand your specific crops the best I have ever heard. You boiled everything down to easy to understand definitions on each one of your crops. I have listened to it several times now and feel you gave us an excellent insight into your crop status. Super job Nick on doing that.
Understand how critical moisture is to your crops at this time.
I am sending your farm operation my prayers and blessings for more rain moisture each and every day!!!!!!!
May God bless your area with moisture to give your crops the support it needs to thrive!!!!!!!! Amen 🙏!!!!!!!!!
Now back to the new truck. Looking good I must say. Getting down to the last few items so it is ready for the road. Seems some of the last items just take a while but you all are getting there. The new truck is looking amazing!!! Close to ready for that test drive to check everything out. Yeah!!!!!!
Good video. You all gave a good understanding of the truck status which was appreciated.
The crop situation report you gave Nick , I thought it was absolutely the best I have ever heard and understood!!!! Feel I have an excellent feel for your crop situation. You did a great job I thought!!!!!
Once again, my prayers for more rain moisture for the Welker crops!!!!!
May God watch over you ALL!!!!!!
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
PS. I have thought about your crop report very much as I stared above. But what I feel I want to add , but didn’t, is the personal and emotional toll this takes to wait for this moisture for your crops. I want each and everyone of you to know you have my heartfelt support Always. And I feel I can say all of your followers are right in step with their support also.
Just felt I needed to say you all have that personal support which we often don’t openly talk about. You all hang in there, lots of thoughts are thinking of you, God bless my dear friends!!!!
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Perfectly stated, it was a great explanation as we only know corn & soybeans in Indiana! God bless
@@sallydunbar1683
Thanks for your reply. I am like you and I am from Iowa and only know corn and soybeans. I thought Nicks video on their crops really put me on a better position to understand their crops. Thanks.
My prayers for rain you and for you. May the Lord bless you and your fields with rainfall.
I have been praying for you all and your rain since winter. Please keep us updated. This is the report I have been waiting for, and your trust in the Lord is just what was expected.
I beg you ,please stop praying it's not working
@John316OBrian There is nothing wrong with them praying. Even if you think it's not working, it literally hurts nothing. In fact we need more prayer in the world all together, not just for rain blessings to farmers....let them be, to speak to our Lord as they see fit.
@@John316OBrian-cm4fjhow do you know it isn’t working? I believe they have had a good amount of rain since this video in June. It’s called faith. Just because you don’t see the results today doesn’t mean you didn’t get what you wanted at that time. For every season there is a reason.
@peteparker7396 it's called luck ,I prayed for them in the past decided not to this year and fxxk me it rained its a miracle
@@John316OBrian-cm4fj you can call it whatever you want. But I’d say by your comment language you need to pray more and let go of whatever makes you a negative bitter person.
I pray for guys and for rain. I'm not a farmer but, its been hot and dry here in Utah also. God has this. Faith young man. You'll see you worried for nothing. I'm a worrier to. God bless you all.
Thank you, praying for rain for all farmers in need. God will provide for us all. Cheers God bless.
So happy to see that rain. Thank you, Lord.
We Farm in South West Saskatchewan and have been in drought for 8 consecutive years including this year. I feel your pain my friend. It is so frustrating to do everything right but come short of RAIN.
Praying for that help you need from up above after the years that I’ve seen you have you should have a turn at some success and relief god bless praying and just know this carpenter loves his farmers
Hoping you got rain...in the right amounts to thrive this season.
Questions:
1. Have you thought about ripping deep...break the hardpan?
2. Is there any chance of you guys drilling irrigation wells and installing a pivot or two?
First there is no ground water or canals available. As far as compaction there gad not been any amount of rain in the last 3 years to soak deeper into the subsoil, just showers. Appreciate much your concerns.
Like this comment if you wanna see another equipment tour!
An updated tour is on our bucket list!
Your neighbor to the North is getting plenty of rain after yrs of drought. Keep the faith brother.
If you are talking of Mike Mitchell he isn't getting much in his last video said the south farm hadn't got any rain for a month and due to the amount of moisture they had to begin with they didn't put down deep root leaving them especially the durum which he called a princess crop.
@@SlipShodBob No I was referring to saskdutch kid.
@@SlipShodBob Why do you think Mike pushes so hard on his second North farm... he knows that in order to survive you have to spread out and diversify your risk. I like the Welkers but they have alotta eggs in one basket all in the same area like that.
Calgary region got a good amount of rain last month, but its gonna be hot hot hot for the next little while.
@@michaelleach4868 we farm by Dutch kid, we had lots of rain during seeding but it's quit now and been hot the last few days and the forecast says 15 days of 28° to 35° and no rain. Crops are going to burn off. 🔥
Great video. This one actually gives a learning lesson. The explanation of the nodules on the roots was great.
It is also amazing that you said the Wheat takes a lot more water and the ground has been sucked dry, as the Peas are drawing slowly from the dirt.
I just stopped and prayed that you get water, because you work so hard to get a good crop and to make a profit. I really love watching all the different thing's you do on the channel, so thank all of you.
G-d bless.
Nick would it be posable to use the water truck to water a couple quare yards of each crop the perfect amount of water so at harvest you can show us what a really good looking crop would look like. Love all of the work you all do to take us along with you on your trip through each year. We love you all for what you do for us
Praying for you guys, we have more rain than we need in Wisconsin, I believe you have family here so you probably know that.
Prayers that you get rain soon, and that you will continue to get sufficient rains ahead so you get good yields.
Pray for your rain. In South Central MN we have the exact opposite. Too much rain in june. River flooded the town and dams failing. Family lost a bunch of acres and a few fields put into into PP
Thanks for what you do for us; trusting in the Lord; and hanging in. I have been praying for you, your family, and your neighbor farmers! God bless you!
Praying for your family and your crop.
Living here in Northern Ireland, we always have rain but it hurts us to see others who are constantly in need of rain. We pray for farmers like yourselves and hope that your harvest can be good.....keep the chin up Nick...the lord has a plan.
Fortunately we have had good weather, we got to plant earlier and we have had the right mix of sun and rain... Corn for us this year and we will probably run the same again next year to help in replenishing our soil nutrients... We had three years of bad as well.. Yep, trust the Lord and He will deliver..!! Sending prayers your way..!!
you are fortunate to have Gov't programs we dont have those so last 3 years have been really tough for us up here in NE Saskatchewan but thankfully i do have a full time job to carry me through but this year we are having good rain. Hopefully it continues.
We have been droughting in MN for the last three years but this year we are flooding everywhere. I thought for sure you guys would be out of it since we are at least right now anyway. Praying for you!
Crazy how mother nature works, areas in Manitoba have got over 20” of rain. Most of the fields are under water. Hopefully some of that heads your way. 🌈☀️🌦️🌧️⛈️💦
We have fields that are planted and are completly under water right now from all the rain..Praying for ya'll that you get rain!!! Lord knows we dont need anymore of it here.
Prayers for your family and all the other farmers. Lord’s Blessings.
Prayers from Georgia,we need rain too,so know you're feelings.Great to see it started.!
As far as I'm concerned you guys have the absolute best farming channel out there.
Yup... between the Welkers and Mike Mitchel's channel and farms these guys are the best.
In west lower michigan, we are SOOOOO wet. Wish we could have let you have several inches we got but didnt need in the last 3 weeks. Dry beans planted and seeds rotted in the ground.
They predicted rain here in east Texas 25 inches so far . Then it went straight to hot temperatures. We didn't plant anything this year . Way too much rain. Hopefully we will next spring. Send you some rain .
Hope your season is still on track… Watched this the other day, looking forward to updates. My step father farmed most of his life and this was a common story over the years
Slow and steady is far better than a downpour.
Im pulling for you, you guys are such good people. I live in southeast Nebraska, in a small farm town of about 1,800. The county next door north of us pretty much got wiped completely out by hail Saturday night, I'm praying for them now.
Wishing you good luck on the next rain storm. I would gladly give you some of ours here in Southern Brazil Rain for next 5 days! It is terrible how one area is over saturated and then others are completely dry! Also love how you not only fix things but you make them look pretty when you are done! Good Luck!
Stay strong in faith, it (rain) will come… only a fellow farmer knows your struggles
Thanks for the crop update! Here in NW Wisconsin, we are overly Blessed with rain...aka...tooo much, very wet. So, and I know you do, is put it in our Heavenly Fathers Hands ✝.
Same in Minnesota
❤😂😂😂😂 hi from big Bull from Dundee Scotland you’re doing a brilliant job. I was wondering how your dad go for sure cause I’ve never seen them yet for awhile enjoy yourself.
Deuteronomy 11,13-15
@@redneckcoder I'm north of that but it's still been pretty bad
@@Daniel_kruger Amen, Brother.
Thanks guys appreciate you posting the videos. Always interested in what you are doing and how the farm is going on your side of the planet, I’m in the eastern grain belt in Australia, the opposite end of the planet opposite seasons we plant roughly at the same time and harvest roughly at the same time Some things are very different and other things are exactly the same, but at the end of the day just trying to grow crops to make a living for our families and feed the world. God bless. Hope the season turns out excellent for you.
Praying for y’all some need rain buddy. I know y’all work y’all butts off and I been there when I use to farm. In La. you don’t begged for rain to much but it happens here to!! Praying for rain for y’all and all the the farmers to have a great crop. Love watching y’all videos!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad you got some moisture. Farming is tough like that can do everything right ultimately the weather has the final say. I am in central Canada and it is very wet. Take care and hope the rain keeps coming.
Praying you get the moisture needed for a bountiful crop. The paint scheme on the "new" 377 really goes well with the Welker Farms logo. Should look sharp when you put the decals on the doors.
Howdy Nick, I hope ya'll are doing well,
Sorry to see your struggling to get the rain you need, and very little moisture, the good thing is lentils need to be stressed to produce a good crop, still praying ya'll get some good rains, Stay safe, God Bless
Saskatchewan is very wet this year. To the point where most low areas are flooded. Some farmers reseeding lower areas. A week ago we got 3.5" in west central Saskatchewan and its impacted alot of areas. I'm not a farmer but I haul oil and it has been a lot of down time due to rain.
Good explain for the pepole thats dosent farm. I suffer with you guys and will pray for you. Keep up the good work. God bless
its all across the US. southern Virginia corn is desperate for rain. the farmers down here are watering the tobacco fields just to get a crop. we finally have started getting rain this week from this storm in the guld but we also had no rain for about a month or so and its been 95 degrees since the end of may
Here in my part of Md everything is burning up with lack of rain an temps in the mid 90s. We're probably a week away from a completely failed corn an soybean crop
Get back to a winter wheat / fallow rotation. It’s the best drought resistant route. If you must go spring crop plant proso it can handle the heat better than the peas. Eastern colorado avg 10-12 inches a year.
We only average barely 6 to 7 the last 3 years
It's just a call to prayer for us, followers of the Welkers. ..my wife and daughter went through Shelby on the 12th, Amtrak, and spent 2 weeks in Libby with my brother-in-law on his ranch in the mountains.
I really care for you guys. You're a wonderful family and great people individually. I understand it's hard to watch it dry up. It seems like 10 years out of 12 ...or more are far below "average". So it's hope and basically only hope that keeps things moving forward. We are a resilient species.
Perspective is important friend. You guys have new houses, nice vehicles, and are able to support big families. It's not going that well for a lot of us out here. This series of drought in the 30's, completely wiped out huge numbers of people. That doesn't really happen anymore. At least not on the scale it used to. It's gonna be alright, friend. The standard of living for subsequent generations of folks from Northern Montana has steadily increased over time. I know it's not fun. But it's certainly not as bad as it could be, or has been.
How's the vacation property on Flathead Lake coming along?! See...? It's gonna be alright partner. Hang in there.
I pray you get the rain you need so your crop can survive I really enjoy your channel god bless
Thank God for all you farmers who continue to farm. I know it's hard to keep going with all the heartbreak with Mother Nature brings.
In Manitoba Canada east of you the last 8 summers have been hotter and dryer than usual. We have had way to much rain in May and June but that seems to have ended now.
We are 2 hours north from where you are, I have driven past your place a number of times years back, and we have had quite a bit of rain.🇨🇦
I was driving through headed east by the border, hopefully they got the rain like Saskatchewan did there 10 days ago. I don't know how many days we are behind from when this was recorded but man It poured
Here in Central NY, we are still in the corn belt, no knee high by the 4th of July this year that I have seen. A foot high, maybe. Hay seems to be doing well. Soy beans are a few inches tall. Plenty of rain, but we are not getting nearly the snow fall we had in the past.
Southern Wisconsin here... Corn in some spots is 6' tall and most is like 3' and Soybeans are yellow as we've had over 12" of rain in the last few weeks. Winter wheat is getting close but the ground is waaay too wet.
HeyNick, try a center drill next time drilling out rivets, small initial point that’s very rigid followed by a countersink, shaft is also really rigid, gives great control
Need to get one of those!
@@WelkerFarms great! They come in different diameters as well as short and long lengths, other benefit is that they are double ended, so you get two in one center drill
I learned about them working in a machine shop 47 years ago, perfect for starting holes on lathes, milling machines and drill presses as well as with hand tools
Because they are so stiff you don’t get the wandering you get with a regular drill, especially small diameter ones
They also work well in sheet metals and soft grabby metals like copper, brass and soft aluminums because they don’t have spiral flutes, so they don’t grab
Another drill that they used to make (May still make for cnc??) are “brass drills”, straight flute drills that one could find prior to the late 70’s, they are fantastic in soft materials like brass, copper and plexiglass and came in standard drill sizes
First year since 2019 we’ve had good rain.. so good we couldn’t get some replanted for the 3rd time.😂 one of these years you’ll get a some drought breaking weather.
Fantastic series. Watching from Australia. I read so many comments from people praying for rain and I understand that you have your beliefs. This video looks as you got your wish. Just wondering how you must feel when there is no rain and crops fail and your prayers are not answered.
We ended up with less than 1/2" total. Though we are very disappointed we continue to trust God that He'll provide what we need.
Focus on abundance and plenty, Nick. Stay faithful, bud!
I'm praying 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you guys we are coming of a 3 year drought got really good rain 🌧️ here in northwest Missouri the corn 🌽 saspose to be knee high by July here by the house it's already over my head 🗣️ I'm 6 foot tall it's over my head already
Bob subsoiled a field 2(3?) years ago. Did you ever get enough rain to find out if it helped your yield?
No we haven't yet. The most rain total at one rain event in three years is less than 1.2"
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob I wanted to be a farmer. One of the biggest reasons I did not is because too much is out of your control.
Praise god here in south east Alabama it started out in the spring extremely wet then it got really hot and dry thank god we been getting some rain every few weeks
South of the Oklahoma Panhandle we have had less than 2" since January 7th, 6 months ago. The kochia weeds grew 3" tall and died.
Keep you head held high hope you get enough rain to keep the crops happy!!!
Someone tell Leg Arms he's using the wrong A/C fittings. The truck came with A/C beadlock fittings where the ferrule (crimp collar) is pinned in the fitting and can't be slipped off, therefore can't be reused, as opposed to a barb fitting. The beadlock has grooves cut in the pipe instead of barbs so it can't hold the hose on by itself. The ferrule collar that is pinned to the beadlock is what holds the pipe on. The correct repair if the rest of the fitting is needed is to cut off the beadlock and braze on a barb. Barb ends are available just for this.
Not to rub it in Minnesota has been inundated with rain and floods. If I could bottle some up and send it to you I would good luck with what the man above or the lady in charge gives.
Hoping and praying the farmers in Montana get the rains they need 🙏
In southeast Saskatchewan we are not in the same boat in fact the tap hasn't turned off and we are too wet. It's been very cool and very wet our crops need some stress with some heat.
im in iowa and one of our 1000 acre sections has had about 30 inches of rain this year already
Hope you guys got/get the rain you need. As hard as you work, you certainly deserve it.
Praying for rain and a bountiful crops.
Thank you for sharing Nick. I know that couldn’t be easy to share.
Very interesting about the plant growth. Glad you got the rain that we saw and hopefully more. 🧠🙏🙏🙏
10:41 Nick, excellent explanation of your crop status. Perfectly understandable for a lay person like myself. Keep up the good work and God Bless.
The blue tractor is looking great can’t wait to see it hauling those bushels off the farm!!
When wheat leaves look like a pineapple plant its never a good thing! Would be great to see if the chemfallow ground has any better of crop and moisture in the ground?
I'd send some 3.5 on 7-3 in our prayers for rain with no great white combine
Hope your area receives sufficient rain, in the east we are getting too much.
👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻 WE'RE all praying for the moisture to come!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The update on the truck shines a bright spear of light into the whole situation!!!
GOD BLESS THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
And most people have absolutely no clue how ingredients for food get made and that all this stuff just doesn't magically appear in the shelfes of the supermarket. 🤷♂️
Btw: ironically Europe is getting trenched in rain since the spring. Lot's of cities got flooded several times and the rainy weather simply doesn't stop. This is the other extreme... 😕
Hard work never goes unrewarded. Sometimes the rewards (when they come) maybe in a different form than expected.
God Bless y'all and your families.
It's after the 4th when I caught this video. Happy Birthday America 🇺🇸.
Think they have had at least three years of dry weather…
Awesome video . Thank you so much guys
We have the opposite problem in the uk I don’t think we’ve had a week without rain for at least 6 months probably longer.
