In today's video we take out one last load of corn! We have an issue with the truck that I address but it makes me late to the elevator so I have to wait to take the load down!

Summer Schedule
Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZfaq channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.\

Cleaning out that bin would be a job for the intern at 99% of farms. That is a job nobody likes to do. Doing that job alone without Brother, Dad or "intern" just shows what a great guy you are!

I Just bought a can of that greese. Got my car back from the dealer, and the cable was replaced on sliding door. They did not clean dirt and did not lube, I found a video that said to lube it with that type of grease. But not the nylon wheel on the top hanger. As I learned when I rode bicyles, lithium does not attract dirt to the chain. Yes the first lube was original wd-40. But you should of seen the citrus bibox chain cleaner, yuck. Back then I bought the Napa Version! I was gone with the Schwin! Good video! Due hickey, Taking on water boss!

no need to invest in a bin sweep when superman can do it in no time flat! :) get yourself two new glad hands and put plugs in them then you can hook them to the tractor glad hands and isolate the problem, tractor from trailer. $3.20/ bu, "my dear god magnum" my dad got that in the late 60"s early 70's for corn.

@lukestrawwalker 4 жыл бұрын

Worse with cotton... it's the still same lousy 60 cent a pound average it was when I was a kid in the early 70's... and it costs TWICE as much per acre to grow in inputs, plus the machinery (cotton pickers) cost more than a combine have probably 10 times as many moving parts to maintain and periodically replace (picker spindles). Why we quit cotton in 03' and just went all cattle... Later! OL J R :)

Question: If there is mold and mildew in the bin and you don't clean the bin prior to filling it again will the mold and mildew transfer to the next harvested crop?

@w056007568 4 жыл бұрын

Quite possibly!

@lukestrawwalker 4 жыл бұрын

There's mold and mildew spores EVERYWHERE all the time... the stuff just floats in the air and gets everywhere. It takes warm, moist, humid areas for it to grow. Mold and mildew spores are in the fields all the time and come in with the corn at harvest. The key is to keep the grain aerated and the moisture low enough to preven the stuff from growing and spreading. That's how it gets in there in the first place. No amount of "sterilizing" the bin will prevent it- the grain basically picks it up literally IN THE FIELD even before it is harvested, right out of the air. Later! OL J R :)
