#Farm #Illinois #Fall #Harvest #FarmingSimulator22
Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Andy, we figured out a way to grease that hard to get to fitting on the grain cart. Get two 4by4 blocks as long as the track is wide and put them across the tracts in front. Slowly pull the cart forward until the first bogey wheel is sitting on the block. This should pivot the assembly so that you can get to the fitting. Continue to each bogey and grease each fitting. Good luck and be safe.

Andy, years ago I had a neighbor who owned a chemical company. He used to give me Urea for our lawn every year. It was so amazing to see what that nitrogen did for the grass. It was thick, vivid green, and grew like crazy as long as we had the moisture. When it dried up and we had a real hot spell, oh boy, that grass was brown fast. Great stuff as long as it rains enough. I know you guys use nitrogen in many forms. For a non farmer to be able to experience what it does in the form of Urea was really cool. Also a great de-icer for the drive and sidewalks in our crazy cold winters. North of your location and west of the city.

All of the different forms of nitrogen definitely have some unique properties. Nitrogen on top of the ground also behaves differently than if it's incorporated. Rain matters... temperature matters... it all matters! We use mainly ammonia and 32% nitrogen solution both injected into the ground.

Andy, since you don't have a grain dryer, have you thought of adding 2nd bin fans to move more air through the grain to dry wetter corn and beans ?
@aTrippyFarmer
@aTrippyFarmer 7 ай бұрын
That's an option, but we've gotten along fine with just the minimum CFM fans for the bin size. I know some people do that on their bins. Even going from an axial to a centrifugal fan can be a huge upgrade.
