How Farms Work 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. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
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.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!

I have recently found your channel and have been binge watching a lot of your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us all. You do an outstanding job on all the video and seem to improve all the time. Concrete! enough said. Hated working concrete right out of high school, now I just work in the aviation world.

Great video Ryan! About ten years ago i helped my uncle and my cousin level the concrete foundation for their 40X90' machinery shed;we didnt install rebars in the concrete! they put instead small fibers in the concrete and they (the concrete company)said that fibers are stronger than rebars...We wernt so sure of that and today there are cracks in the foundation...

If you are worried about not being able to stir the grain, I would look into a Shivvers mfg. dryer system. We have three bins with them in them at three bin sites, excellent grain quality and near perfect moisture percentage.

Nice work! Bard is a customer of the company I work for, BASF, Bard are great people. You should put a soaker hose on that pad and wet cure for seven days or as long as you can stand it. The longer the better, and this will reduce cracking and increase strength.

I pour agricultural concrete for a living, and we have bin pads down to a science, but I absolutely NEED to know the style of those forms. We use steel forms but staking them is a little different with us. Also, we trench a 16 inch "rat barrier" where the bin walls sit. That's a life saver for the farmer. And we also set our center about a half inch high so water won't sit under the center sump. Just giving u some ideas if u ever put up another bin. Looks good tho!!

Jan Kotze, It depends where you are in the U.S.A. Here in Ct, most of the concrete trucks are front discharge and they are the best option in my opinion, the driver can pull up to within inches with no help, stop the unloading with just eyesight, quicker to move into position, etc.

the rock he used is in the 90 percent range compaction look up 57s compaction charts some but surprised he didn't pour a footer if water gets under it and freezes it will try to lift but don't know how the ground is there so cant say if it will or wont looks like its gonna be fine for the 20yr plan

You don't compact the gravel or use vibratory consolidator on the concrete?

@rightsideofthegrass8114 6 жыл бұрын

My thoughts exactly. A vibrator is always used to consolidate freshly poured concrete to insure most of the air has been removed. Air pockets reduce the strength significantly.

I'm working for a farmer pulling corn to our local ethanol plants. I've become so intrigued by how things get to where they are and how they're built since working with them. I've always been told to work for a farmer when it comes to getting trucking experience. I understand why now. If they like you they'll bend over backwards for a guy. I started at harvest this year and thought I was only temporary..... nope..... lol i've become a fixture since october. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My hats off to you guys.

I would have thought that the auger to get the grain out would have been set into the base. Does it instead sit on top of the base? I guess depends on design. Thanks for another great video :)
