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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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)

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.

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.

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

I am a huge fan keep up the great work grant. hope everything goes great the rest of the year

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

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

really great video we all enjoyed it a lot you guys are doing an awesome job

Love the drone footage at the end! Would love to see more

Grant we are almost done we are gonna finish tommorow good luck on corn!

Nothing runs like a Deere baby!!! 🎉

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.

Lookin good Hilbert bros we should get done with beans hopefully this Saturday and about 2-3 weeks on corn. Keep it up

Have been waiting all week for this vid!! Another awesome video

Fantastic video really enjoyed watching your video Keep up the great work looking forward to seeing more great content like this one coming soon thanks again and have a wonderful safe harvest season

If you filled that ditch in if you don’t have enough flow it could Flood if it rains for a couple days

Only in Iowa is 135 bushel corn bad 😂

Hello from Saskatchewan great videos thanks for sharing

Bel video. Bravo. Bei mezzi. 💪💪👍👍👋👋🚜🔝🇮🇹

Grant and Spence, some of our farms in the valley have heavy clay but there’s a bottom to it. Some of the farmers take an excavator, puts the clay on one side of the trench and loamy/sanely soil on the other. Puts the clay in the bottom and soil on top. They dig these ditches about 25’ apart. Not sure if you have good soil under the clay but Spence could dig a test hole. Or- maybe some of the hill can be moved down for soil improvement. Best wishes on your harvest. Ps…our land is irrigated. If we depended on rain, it would look like Saudi Arabia.

With all your breakdowns your keeping the parts guys employed at VanWall. Great video

Filling in those creeks would be a lot easier if you had the landscaping tool IRL

I love your videos so pls keep the good work grant

oh man! that 8110 and the brent wagon are SUCH a nice rig! I love it!:)

Guys in our area take a ripper and rip along the tree rows deep to chop off roots. Helps crops grow along the edges.

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.

A little tip, keep an eye on your turbo oil supply line on your combine. It's a metal line and the clamps that hold the line tight wear through the line. Currently getting s ne motor in our sts9760

Big up boys! Keep it rolling

Grant don’t cover that waterway with out putting plastic drainage pipe. That area will always be a draw there.

Grant that thumb nail photo is awesome!! You should get them printed and sell!!! I'd buy!! Another awesome video!!

great video grant keep up the good work.

Don't forget to change the cob deflector shield to the corn symbol on the right rear of the combine just in front of and above chopper to keep cobs from damaging chaffer.

Hell yeah that's awesome!!

I love the vids, but I wouldn't fill the creek beds because when the water is it there it's natural irrigation

You probably don’t want to mess with filling those waterways in. They will just wash out with a heavy rain. The best thing that you can do for them is keep them mowed.

Maybe some chisel plowing or deep ripping on the ground that doesn’t drain well if tiling them isn’t achievable this fall. I would say that would help a ton

Awsome vid love do See more

Great video Grant from Bryer Floyd

I love your videos

Cool vid

Use your scale tickets to determine yield. The yield monitor is not always the most accurate. We run every load of grain we take off across our scale and figure the yield up.

Great video Grant keep up the good work also you should make a hunting video

At least your corn did better up there, our whole 290 acres of corn averaged 122 bpa. We had a drought right when the corn was pollinating. From a farmer in TN

Hi Grant, absolutely love your videos! I'm from a farming family in Zambia and everyone is going down the regen ag route for improving soils, reducing inputs, higher margins etc. Might be worth checking out some guys like Gabe Brown (North Dakota) for some ideas. Keep up the awesome work!

It's corn!! 🌽

Seen less header loss going at an angle the header stays fuller and pushes shelled beans in laying on cutter bar.

You had Clinton Griffiths on your farm! He’s a big shot on RFD tv, son!

Have you tried looking at your ph on your soil test? That could effect nutrient availability. In our area we have to use lime to raise it

Its crazy to see what top soil does for crops, here in michigan we only have about 3 inches of top soil on our good ground, when we see 50-60 bushel beans that’s considered a bumper crop around here, we cant grow anything without residue, no till really saves us up here, always found it interesting you guys see our bumper crop and think, man thats just kinda average

What happened to your beans you put into that CRP? Did they make it? Maybe it was in a past video and I missed it. Enjoying watching your guys journey!

Need to get some of that high dollar wheat in the ground

All that equipment you got that crossing would be easy to wooden it for the combine. Just gotta find the time

Isn't that 2 sod waterways to help prevent flooding coming of that hill ??

Hey grant, on a dry year usually the wet spots do good because there is moisture, and if you said it was a dry year the wet spots should do good. I am not completely sold that it is drainage. Just a thought!

banger! 💪

Next year you should build a bin

Hey grant your amazing also I really think your next tractor should be a John Deere 8130 that’s my most favorited tractor besides the one you already have I’d love to see an auction

Let's go

Trying to find out when is the American Farming got to be out for android.been waiting a long time.

Grant, I would like you to take 100 acres of your worst producing farm land and practice full regenerative farming practices on that land. Report back periodically on soil improvement. What do you think?

All right here's the deal with the creek runoff going through that one field area will have to not fill it in right away y'all have to put pipe in and just to make sure that it's flowing really good add some both sides of that field so just be careful okay

Does anyone hunt your land, those creek fingers would be great! Keep it up man!

Can you bring back Sunday Funday? Just do one episode I miss it so much!

You should get your next tractor from Prairie State Tractor in Mandota IL

hey bud your doing a great job keep it up. love your vids and progress of the farm . but i have a question.. why are you going slow when your harvesting or is it just me bc i wanted you to know you can speed up and also i can’t wait to see your progress more and have a whole set up

I wouldn’t fill that grass water way in with dirt because it’s there for erosion control

Hello Grant, I'm an Aussie and I was just wondering why you use such small corn fronts over their? Just a bit curious, cheers, great video

make sure you tile it all before you fill

Morning Grant, we (along with our neighbors pull around 18000 kg with 105 hp tractors, steepest is 30ish degree grade. Wagons are in and around 550 bushels. How big are those J&M wagons and the 8r hp? Have a great day and hope no breakdowns ensue.

Ok so we’re is Spencer’s 6.0 did the engine go

You need a 10 wheeler!

Could you field cultivate or plow the fields that had bad corn?

Hey squad when do you think you start a new farm series like nit back in the 1970s but old school farming

Glad to know you drink water and not soda. There's this one farmer on youtube who loves to drink soda. 😹

Will you post the article that is being written?

You should start you separator on low idle then start the header up on full idle it won’t beep then because if you start the header up on low idle and the separator is on and there is a bit of grain left in the head it could plug the combine.

Hi Grant! Say, what did you find out about that side shield for your combine? 🧐🤔

Can you have Mrg make a map of your farm. You could above it be named the squad farm. It would be nice to have big fields and have a lot, and it would be nice if it installed all the equipment you have RL.

That would be alot of dirt to fill in those low spots in your field. Would take weeks

Dude we have a 14 acre field but I'm in shapinsay a 7 mile area and that field is done in 1 day and you did 4

Next year you should try hay

You should get a Truck and Trailer set up, In other words a semi truck

@granthilbert what is your soil fertility like in those bad yielding spots? Do you think it’s a low P or K issue or low PH?

How did the beans do in the overgrown field you planted. At least result in a return on investment to plant it?

Do you have any plans to put up a grain bin or two at your farm?

Will you have grain bins in the future?

Grant, what program are you using to look at everything on the I pad is that Fieldview?

Can Spencer's truck hall the grain in the dump bed?

might want to check the nitrogen levels on the land for corn.

How do those chopping blades look like?
