  • We bought a Bush Hog mower! We need to cut some old CRP trees out and clean up some land so we bought a used RF15 from a landlord. I also picked up my daughter from Preschool!

    I am a 5th generation family farmer from West-Central Minnesota. The recent interest in food, combined with a large amount of 'misinformation' has driven me to start this channel. I hope to be someone people can relate to and trust when they question how their food is grown and raised. I also hope to become a 'smarter' farmer through my experiences with this channel. I strongly believe we must have an open mind and a willingness to learn about others, or we cannot move forward as one. My goal is to build the connection between farmers and consumers by facilitating a collaborative conversation amongst everyone. I do this by sharing my day-to-day farming experiences, my opinions on certain topics, and occasionally visiting other farms and businesses to help better understand other farming and business practices. There is no limit to where this channel may go, so please join me!!

    I remember not that long ago we had a feed store in our town, Yoakum Gin and Feed. They had a corn mill that was used to make fresh corn meal. Mr. Tommy owned the company and had a corn meal grinder in his store. It had two round stones that ground human quality corn into corn meal. He would sell it for about .30 cents a pound. When I got back to my home town I would stop and get about 25-30lbs of fresh ground corn meal. It was course ground and very moist. It sure made some great home made corn bread.
    Since then Mr. Tommy passed away and the business turned into a modern farm & ranch store.
    I often wonder where is there a gin that you could buy freshly ground corn meal.

    This reminds me of our senior prank that turned into a yearly tradition at my high school. We decided it would be cool to drive to school in various agricultural equipment.
    2018 marks the 10th year anniversary in fact.
    The highschool thought it was cool too, however they did set some ground rules. No combines, no high crops, semis can't have trailers, tractors can't have implements attached, and no dual wheeled tractors.

    I know it’s not solely the reason you show interaction with your little girl, but keep it up. You’re doing a great job of being a present dad. Not a checked out Dad. There’s a lot of boys that grow up to be dads that don’t have or never had a good example of being a dad. Time with your children is priceless. They’re your legacy. God bless from South Texas.

    You picking your daughter up from school in the tractor was pretty cool to see. BTW if it were me I would move one of the two wheel and hub set ups from the wing to the center section of the shredder so that you have four total in the middle and one on each wing. The reason I say this is because when the wings are up all the weight is on the tires and components on the center section.

So far in the last year have lost two farm friends in accidents from working too many hours and mistakes. Then neighbors 12 year old granddaughter was killed when the 14 year old was driving and they have no respect for speed and what these machines can do with no respect for life. I have worked on the farm for my 73 years and slowed down now to tell fellow farmers to take your time before jumping into something to be safe. Keep up the good work and give that little gal a hug from me.

    Nice looking 90-100 day corn. The farmer's daughter knows how to pick a big one. We stopped growing dent corn many years ago. The cattle feeders like high test weight of flint types that have long starch fill period. If our Summer days were like yours, we would be in heaven but could not grow high yield corn and cotton or is that Heaven! We have to spray cotton with regulators to keep down it size and stop new fruiting.

    Your daughter is such a hoot! I miss when my 4 y/o was that sweet and innocent. Now she thinks she is a teenager. Lol! As always, great video. 😀
