#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!

After a short hiatus, I am finally back with more videos! Between moving to a house at the farm, having a baby, and other things, my main editor(Ali😎) and I have been rather busy.... There are only 2-3 more videos before we catch up to present day. I appreciate you all continuously watching the videos and supporting the channel!!! Best wishes and enjoy your day. - Andy

I"m more than happy to support your channnel and really like your content. I appreciate that you don't beg for views, likes , subscribers. As a 61 yr old man that grew up on the farm I also appreciate that your not scared to share your yield results. Kinda tired of all the big dogs not wanting to show what they really do othe than manage half a million subscribers or beg for them. Just shows in this day in age you can be a superstar and can't even throw the ball. Hope you all the success.

You probably could have handed that bracket to a machine shop and told them to copy it... Probably 1/2 the cost or less. It would have been good to put anti lock grease on that pin, because you're probably going to have galling happen again. That's most likely what happened with the first one.

The water you spray with definitely has a hive effect on spray success for sooo many reasons. You can always ad neutralizer to your water if you think it might have chlorine but soft well water with no stains or iron in it is best.

@aTrippyFarmer 11 ай бұрын

I am sure that our well water has iron just from the older plumbing in areas, but I could be wrong. I'd like to setup 15-20,000 in storage around the farm to use for cleanout and possibly loading in the future. They say that a full water test is a smart move to determine any corrections that may need applied before use.

It looked like the mounting holes for your wet boom were slotted. Maybe you could adjust them down a bit and get the tips below the frame. I'm sure you know this but if one was just after the plant health benefit, a cheaper fungicide like Headline or Quadris could be used. I used Delaro Complete at it was the same price as that Miravis Neo. $$$

I buy sweet corn from a local farmer here in SE Wi and he uses no chemicals on the corn. I find some wormy corn but it’s not too bad. He’s been irrigating the corn seeing how we’re in a drought. He charges me $9 a dz which isn’t bad seeing how it’s organic corn.

@aTrippyFarmer 11 ай бұрын

We sprayed out sweet corn with herbicide when it is little, but that is it. It receives the same nitrogen program that the rest of our corn does. Once it gets taller, we don't apply anything because we do not want any pesticides on the ears, even if there are bugs.

Is there a y such thing as a 300 bushel corn crop?

@aTrippyFarmer 11 ай бұрын

People have raised over 600 bushel corn in high-management, irrigated fields. The record is 616 bushels. It is certainly possible for corn averages to push into the 300s in the next 5-10 years depending on climate, breeding, and crop protectants. We've had entire large fields average 270+ before without doing anything crazy!

Andy, can we assume that all of your crops are non gmo? How much N is in good old fashioned cow/horse manure? What are the chemical reactions of mixing your fungicide together with new trial N product? Do you think fertilizing at ground/root level is more effective than at leaf level?

@aTrippyFarmer 11 ай бұрын

None of our crops are non-gmo. I don't know the nutrition of horse or corn manure, but I do know that long term application of those products build a really healthy soil with high organic matter. Fertilization time and location depends on the product and time of year!
