First Day of Corn Harvest!

Finishing beans & starting out on the First day of Corn! And we got lucky with no breakdowns in the last 20 acres of beans! Corn on the other hand is really not too good, especially in some of the wet spots of the fields, even though there was a drought! All in all still pretty pleased with how yields are turning out. Would have liked better, but there's always room for improvement. Thanks for watching!

Apologizes to the early birds here! My dumb butt posted the vid live before it got done processing!!

In a 12 year old kid and I’m always on my grandpas farm and learning new things everyday I learn I lot with you and you get me through tough times Keep Up The Amazing work Grant

See it’s nice to fill in those water flow spots for efficiency but they also help prevent erosion in the field on wet years. It’s your farm but I would keep those there because the vegetation helps prevent further erosion. Keep up the good work #squadlife

So happy for your harvest and thanks for the video I'm always watching. Be safe.

[darelbennett]

You guys are original so please keep it that way. I have enjoyed your videos and look forward to watching them I only wish there were more.

awesome harvest Grant I can't wait for your next harvest to come 🤜🤛

Hey Grant,
I really think you have some compaction issues with your ground. Maybe tou should get and soil compaction diagram made up. That way you know how deep your compacted ground layer is. With deepripping you can break the compacted layer lose so that water can flow trough it beter.
Also try to have the least amount of air in the tyres of your wagons(but still in spec of the tyre manyfacturer), that whey the tyres have a longer footprint so they don't compact the ground as much. Its also best to leaf the wagons on the headland.

Hope you get beter yields next year.

[joshjansen]

Hey grant no idea what your ground is like but we try to keep from driving wagons around in field as much as possible. You would be amazed at the compaction they cause

As a farm kid, it has been fun watching your first video on the farm when you started to now harvesting your second crop. Good luck with harvest man!

Those who farm in the flat ground don't understand how much more drawbar force is needed to pull something up a hill.

Some advice: Invest in some two way radios for your equipment and pickups. They make communicating so easy. I recommend Midland.

My grandpa has a beef farm and I love going to help him but I watching you is great to

Always a good day when grant posts ( HOLY thanks for all the likes guys)

1. Genetics
2. Fertility
3. Drainage

Those are the 3 things that are easily controllable by the farmer. Tile is a nice double whammy. Your farm handles wet conditions better, AND you can plant earlier than normal. Earlier planting has a large statistical advantage, although not a guaranteed increase in yield. Top-dress urea is also a gamble. Personally, I think there are many other more surefire ways of applying nitrogen after emergence. Without adequate rain, you do lose a lot of the N into the atmosphere, even with treatments. It can yield just as well as anything else, but I don’t think it’s the best strategy.

Can't wait what your farm looks like in 10-15 years. Can't say it enough, it's so much fun to see a farm start from absolute scratch to whatever the future holds for you.

I am a hydraulic mechanic from the Netherlands
hydraulic hoses are made to last 7 years.
However, in reality this is often longer or even much longer.


the longevity depends on many different aspects.

Such as: friction and buckling, weather influences, (sun) light and of course pressure, pressure fluctuations, and peak pressures.

a good hydraulic hose almost never breaks due to too high pressure.
A hose can easily hold 4x its working pressure, I also tested this.
I put more than 2000 bar 29000 psi on a hose with a maximum working pressure 420 bar 6000 psi and the hose didn't break.
the hose was at least 10 years old but not damaged.

So your hoses are much more likely to snap due to friction and kinking.
Then by overpressure.

my advice
replace the hoses in time for 5 to 10 years or so.

Hoses with high wear and friction problems try to protect against these influences.
Better and or different fastening, or protection around these hoses.

I hope it is of some use for you.

I enjoy watching you, and love how you chase your dream

As long as my bestie spectacular Spencer is with you all is well awesome vlog bud

As another first-generation farmer some years hydraulic issues are never ending. Most the time if you blow a line on a piece the others are not to far behind. And it's pretty normal for sensors to fail that way.

Hello from Saskatchewan great videos thanks for sharing

[Switchy]

I am a 14 year old farm kid. My advice is that. We had a field we sprayed with headline form a plane. And a part of a field that didn’t and the field that had headline yielded 250-270 and the part that didn’t get sprayed yielded 110-150

I love your videos so pls keep the good work grant
