  • It's a hot crop to harvest this year. Early planting as well as favorable moisture & weather conditions helped the region to pump out a record wheat crop.

    We're a sugar beet farmin’ family in the Red River Valley of North Dakota!
    Our farm specializes in growing sugar beets, hard red spring wheat, sunflowers, corn, soybeans, and various types of dry edible beans. The legacy currently consists of my dad, my uncle, my two older brothers, and I (Beet Farmin Mitch).
    I am a 6th generation family farmer recently graduating with college degrees in both Agricultural Economics and Crop and Weed Sciences. Enjoy as I showcase our operations everyday work, grow as a young farmer, be a goofball, and walk out the most important thing to me. My love for King Jesus!
    My hope is that you may be entertained and spurred on to grow in your passion and knowledge for all things agriculture!

    The Corn Farmers down in Alabama are mounting large plastic water tanks (200 gal?)on the from of the grain cart tractors with 12v pumps with 100' industrial 3/4 or 1" water hose with spray nozzle for FIRE PREVENTION in case a combine catches fire.

    Just found your channel. No women in the current Legacy? But excellent Video. You have done well on the Academic side, however, with the rapid development in not only in the sciences of growing crows but in the advancement of IT and new technologies in farming equipment will need a concerted effort to keep ahead of the game.

    I was surprised that you had only one combine going and only one truck. I am not a farmer but from out west, Alberta. When it combine time you see at least 10 working.

  • @farmboy5622
    @farmboy5622 5 месяцев назад +2

    Appreciate the scripture readings. Yeah, I remember getting plenty of nice meals in the field. Although, we did not have cabs like they do today. We had open-station tractors. So, we either sat in the pickup truck or under a shade tree to eat our meals. Sometimes, depending on what we were having, we would get things wrapped in aluminum foil, and set them somewhere on the engine to cook for a while. Got to be a pretty good cook. (Ha!Ha!)

    • @beetfarminmitch
      @beetfarminmitch  5 месяцев назад +1

      That’s true, having cabs is super nice. But I do miss the tailgate suppers on the edge of the field. We haven’t had a good one in a while, but I like to have one a year around the end of wheat harvest. Probably won’t happen this year due to the rain pressure and trying to get the crop off. Maybe during pintos!

    We combined some wheat down by midway school west of Johnstown that was flat on the ground. Had to combine it one direction to be able to pick it up. Fun times. I think that was in 2015 when it was so wet

    Just found your channel after watching your video on the AF11 demo. 👍 Speaking about your faith is awesome and I wish more content creators would follow suit. At my church on Sunday nights, we are studying thru James… currently in chapter 4.
    I do have a request for future videos - can you change the font of scripture that is put across the bottom? I’m 64 with glaucoma and it’s a little hard to clearly read for me even with glasses. But if changing the font isn’t possible, no worries… Have a blessed week 🙏

    Those 45 foot heads are a nice size.
    I was thinking that crop lifters would help greatly to lift that down crop up to the sickle.
    Google crop lifters if you are not familiar with them.

    • @beetfarminmitch
      @beetfarminmitch  5 месяцев назад

      Good point! It means the grain is running rough through the combine and not smoothly. It happens at the end of the day when the sun goes down. It rumbles more and can plug the machine easier.

  • @scottkaercher1733
    @scottkaercher1733 5 месяцев назад

    Our wheat average was 135 bushel per acre and a couple fields was 150 bushels per acre then we planted double crop soybeans. Our agronomist is saying we're gonna average 150 on beans and 340 on corn.

    Thanks for your witness, Do you have much trouble calibrating the 3 combines together for mapping?

    • @beetfarminmitch
      @beetfarminmitch  5 месяцев назад

      Great question! I have our GPS planting lines loaded into all the combines. I used AFS connect (Case software) to transfer them. We run the same lines but we have to remark every pass as they do not line up with each other perfectly. I think Case has some new software and whatnot for that but it’s not a big deal to remark for now.
