iowANFarmer, Ben Van Roekel, is a 2nd generation farmer in southern Iowa. His goal on RUclips is to showcase what young farmers have to offer to the agricultural community. He hopes to give the general public a glimpse into what life is like on an American corn, soybean, and hay operation. The channel will focus on farming equipment, repairs, precision ag, and daily operations on the farm. Join him in his daily trials and tribulations in the changing agricultural environment.

Molly, Give us an update on how the Pumpkin Patch did this fall...
We are going to sit down and do a video.
I'm not a farmer, and I don't plan on being one. But I find the technology nowadays outstanding. Alot more than digging a hole and throwing sead down to make the yeil you want.
Correct
I’ve always said you know it was a good project when you were bleeding when it was done. Well the excavator did the bleeding in this case. We got quite the snows here in Lincoln, Neb. Now it is just getting through the cold. The last time I remember cold like this was back in 89 or 90 I think. I remember it being 22 below and driving back from college with no heater core. That was such a cold drive. Good times.
That would make a dangerous drive. It’s like -22 and 14-16” snow here with DRIFTS!
I was a volunteer fireman at the time and had all my turnout gear in the trunk, so I wore that. Had to keep stopping to scrap the inside windshield to see out. Stay warm.
Ben, nice work !
Thank you!
All that hard work to improve your ground, Wayne would be proud.
I left the medical field 10 years ago bc of health issues. Then turned my homecare experience into an in client home petting sitting LLC. I’m ALWAYS living in a dog world! 😂
That’s cool. We need more pet sitters in the world
@@iowANFarmer I was a Speech Pathologist for 22 years treating mostly elderly patients. Didn’t realize just how stressed & sad I was from that til I started working with dogs. I stay at client’s homes during vacations too, so I house/pet sit & take care of barn animals. Definitely worth losing my $60k salary for my health overall! Fur & fun 24/7!
Thanks so much to everyone who helped out!! Easy on BERNIE COLT he can’t help it. 😂. Vacations will do that to ya for sure. 2024 👍👍🙏
Barking dogs are the best.
Sometimes
I had an idea when you talked about the ditching bucket. I know what they are, but you don’t need something that wide . Anyway could you make a smooth cap to go over the teeth?
Yes
Looks like you guys did an amazing job. Can't wait to get there in the spring.
No more washout!
Bit of useless info. But do you all know why we have been having very colorful sunrises and sunsets this summer? A massive undersea volcano erupted last year. The shockwave traveled the globe many times. Any ways that is the culprit. And on a funny note,,,, what guy doesn’t like laying pipe??? 😎
Is this true? If so that’s cool.
@@iowANFarmer yes! Don’t even get me started on the name of the volcano,,,, but it formed a small island off of Tonga from eruptions and then it really erupted making it disappear. It blew so much material into the atmosphere it reflects the light from the sun and you have these very colorful sunsets and sun rises. Some of what you learn being a rock licker. (Geologist)
I’ve been watching the farmers a long time, so I’ve learned how expensive it is to hire someone to lay tile. So I wonder how quickly buying all the equipment & doing the work yourself pays off. Kind of like how investing in grain storage pays for itself in the end.
It’s relative to what needs to be done, how much, what size. Trippy farmer hired out the job of putting in a 24” run parralell to an existing 24” hired a company with a wheel type trencher .
@@johnwudarcki9315 yes & he said it was extremely expensive. I’d think doing it yourself would pay off depending on your field conditions & area you live in. Welkers in Montana will kill to have a water problem bc they’ve been in a drought for 3 years.
Tile will pay back in 3-5 years depending on what’s been done, cost of the project and future weather.
The deeper the better. Put a support post on that riser. Put the riser in the line of the tile line . Do not offset riser
Actually Deere and Hitachi excavators are built in the same plant. Everything is the same except certain models have either the Isuzu motor or the Deere motor.
I toured the excavator plant in NC about 15 years ago. The Hitachi excavators at that time were getting Hino engines.
Now I think they get Deere motors only if they are Deere
@@iowANFarmer yep. The bigger Deere excavators back in the day did have the Deere motors. The small ones like yours did not.
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO BEN 😊
💘💝💖💗💓💞💕❣💔❤🔥
It's good to see another video Ben. I take it you've been busy with life since you haven't made any videos since last year.
BEN DID I HEAR THAT THE WIFE IS HAVING A BABY.?🥸
Weld.a piece of 1/4 or 3/8 x 4 flat bar to bucket teeth for ditch bucket than can grind off when done
I need to find a bucket to do that with
@@iowANFarmer any bucket will work its just temporary
Wrap joints with "Tile Tape" "Always
I'm curious .... how long does take till the investment in tiling starts paying for itself ? ( a guesstimate)
It starts paying for itself immediately. How long it takes to pay for itself depends on the weather over several years and your soil conditions.
3-5 years around here to have it payed back.
thank you for answering me... love the channel@@iowANFarmer
Are you “Master Pipe Layers” Iong lost son?
Hopefully you, Molly and the four legged family are surviving the bad weather out your way. Sounds bad
Here in Michigan southern area little bit of snow, freezing rain and wind. And then just plan COLD . You guys do some nice work. STAY WARM AND STAY SAFE !!!!!
14-16” of snow.
Dry Dams, is what you are doing with the inlets, so the water will go in. Looking Great!!!!
Yep, some people call them basins too,
Bet ya got back and your wearing a hell of alot more than that now 😅
Yes, 100%
What happened dad not letting you use his dozer anymore.
Never has.
Happy your back
I see Bandit is snoopervisor at you work site
That’s 👍
I hate 3" perforated tile !!! It Silts Shut ...Because it's not enough water flow too keep Silting moving through it!!!
Was this one of your farms or a contract job.
I farm this farm.
Hydraulic box blade for smoothing
Hey colt what's your other job that you have, just curious, an ben thanks for the long informative video, that was great 🇺🇲💪✊👍👌🤙
Soil sampling and horses.
The D6 9U. Isn't that heavy.
Your trailer behind the tile truck may haul it.
Tile truck has 2 10k axles
What happened to Andrew???
Cow season and helping my dad!
iowANFarmer - Iowa vote #Trump2024
Camera went for a tumble and that Action after was pretty funny. Great work and can't wait to see the results of it all.
You and me both!
Well done. I hope you cropped this land before and after. I think that much tile will make a huge difference on this land. You should have got Molly out early on this project it would be all finished:).
Yes, we have
Ben A new Car 309 has the controls your looking for . You can drive it with the joystick it's awesome
I’ve seen that, does it lock it in dozer mode too?
@iowANFarmer if it did I never figured it out . The blade has electric lever to run the blade
You lost a subscriber slipping in a political comment. If you can't stick to farming then its not worth following this channel. Maybe you should explain to Colton that Farmers get generous handouts from USDA every year.
