CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every 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.

I have opted to cancel the paid memberships on our channel. I was pressured into it from the start by my KZfaq manager and have always felt like it wasn't a good fit for us due to lack of features and failure on KZfaq's part to improve memberships as they promised for the unreasonably large cut they were taking. I believe that all of our content should remain free, and I HIGHLY appreciate everyone that has supported us at one time or another. I also want to give a huge thank you to everyone who signed up at the beginning and have supported us after all this time. If you joined in the last 30 days, you can email me at howfarmswork@gmail.com for a piece of HFW merch! If you're still interested in supporting our channel, you can join our newly launched Patreon: patreon.com/HowFarmsWork Benefits: 7 day Free Trial (Apparently Patreon doesn’t allow new sign ups or a free tier for users for a month) 50% off HFW Merch Early Access/Sneak Peeks Username in a dedicated section of our newly posted videos I hope that Patreon will allow me better access and usability from my side that will allow me to communicate better with our followers! I have posted a new addition to the farm that will be very useful for us going forward!

The correct time for cutting Alfalfa is well documented, 10% flower is the time you balance yield and quality, post 10% quality falls off before that the yeild of future crops is impaired, just looking at you video I think you were right on the money! thanks for sharing

Leaf loss isn’t from being “over ripe” it’s from the whirling blades of death instead of crimpers. Next leaf loss will be the straw maker,,,, or as you call it the tedder 😂
@HowFarmsWork 9 ай бұрын
If the hay isn’t as overripe the lower leaves will stay on better due to the increased elasticity in the stalk. Any time you’re handling hay you’ll lose some leaves and a crimper will help but a crimper isn’t as effective at drying the crop.
@peteparker7396 9 ай бұрын
@@HowFarmsWorkwhen it comes to alfalfa you are dead wrong. When the blooms go to a lighter purple then it’s over ripe. That wasn’t. And you’re also dead wrong on crimpers. When you cut 6 times a year like we do down here you learn what works and what doesn’t. Especially when there no humidity to bale on. Those leaves are where the protein is and so you want to keep them.

First, Thank you for your great Videos! 2nd, i was told to leave 2 or 3 inches of alphalpha to help it recover? 3rd, how often do you have to replant it? The field next to me is 4 years old now getting 3 cuttings a year. I thought you had to replant at 3 years??? Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!!
@HowFarmsWork 9 ай бұрын
Recommended height left to stand is 2-3" to help the plant. We will tear it up when yield starts to dwindle after ~6 years and rotate it into corn and beans for a few years.

@@HowFarmsWorkwould it be beneficial to go clockwise around the field for a couple rounds with the mower swung out, and do the outside round by going counter- clockwise, allowing the mower to stand up and cleanly cut the grass laid down from the tractor tires?
@marcoblachut9105 9 ай бұрын
Oh boy very much loss in the alfalfa. I pobably didn´t understand everything you said at the beginning beacause I am not a native English speaker but I think you schould not use a conditioner when you mow the alfalfa. And yea the grass was overgrown by far. It´s not just blooming but already spreading the seeds. 🙄

Why did you choose the GMD 4061 TCD mower with a steel finger conditioner instead of the TCS (Steel Roller Conditioner) or the TCR (Rubber Roller Conditioner) ?? In my opinion, a rubber roller conditioner works better in legumes, like alfalfa. The steel finger conditioners has its advantages in normal grass. And did you buy this mower or is it still a demonstration model?
@HowFarmsWork 9 ай бұрын
Rubber rollers work well on alfalfa but when we tried it on grass it didn't crimp the stalk as well which led to the crop not drying as effectively. Altogether we run more grass than alfalfa right now and the fact this mower has a slower speed for alfalfa makes it work much better versatility wise.
@AgrarfanLP 9 ай бұрын
@HowFarmsWork And did you try a steel roller conditioner? Krone has the nice M-Rolls, which work perfect on grass and legumes. Kuhn also offers a steel roller.
