I enjoy these videos of Mike just taking business over actually hauling grain or pushing snow

As a farmer myself who grows hay to sell to other farmers and hobbyists. I have made the observations after visiting many different farms. The biggest difference between a successful farm and a struggling or broke farm is the planning.

Find a snow tire chain that fits the auger wheel, it will also help with muddy conditions. We also added weight directly over the wheel.

Farming is a not just a job it truly is a philosophy and way of life. And so many moving parts and things to know and constantly do. Haven’t even got into the unexpected things that pop up lol. Amazing job Mike. Know and appreciate your efforts. God bless. Bob in Pennsylvania

We have barely had that much snow all winter here in west central Minnesota. We had no snow on the ground at all until yesterday. We have about an inch on the ground now. If you want to buy land here you need a real big checkbook now compared to what you needed not that long ago.

Thank you for a very good and informative video from someone who knows what he is talking about! I am very grateful to Mike and his wife and their children who have devoted their lives to feeding us. Far above them is the living God who watches over all of us and provides a way! I wish you great success Mr, and Mrs Farmer’s in any nation you reside .

Leasing equipment has become more common in Norway as of late. Is leasing an option in Canada too? I guess the larger farms would have a base of equipment they own, like yourself. As a sidenote your farm is roughly 2% of all the arrable farm in Norway....

Just curious as to why y’all don’t invest in a covered grain pit/s and an elevator system instead of a bunch of small bins, and a small auger/belt system to load with? Just seems very inefficient the way you do it now.

When I look at all your equipment, drills in this case that you have to work on outside, I never understood why a building big enough to work on your largest equipment isn’t a priority. I’ve worked at a dealership for years that this happened and productivity goes way down working outside as well as small stuff like loosing tools, parts etc in mud or snow,all affect the bottom line. I realize you can’t afford some things that looks like would benefit the business, but to me, a maintenance building should be a priority. One drill at a time and put everyone that is available at it, and keep churning them out all winter long The building would pay for itself sooner than you think.

He said he bought a section. Would you rather a section or a machine shed? The section could make a lot of money, the machine shed just maginally reduces maintenance costs.

@celticrider06 3 ай бұрын

Can’t farm all those sections very long with equipment that isn’t maintained properly! I get income from a section compared to shop costs, however this is something that can be used year around to maintain all equipment. They built a wash bay building finally why? I’m sure that doesn’t make them money, but it saves them money just like a shop would.

@justinmartin5399 3 ай бұрын

They have a shop that tractors and combines fit in. I work outside year round in Minnesota and it is fine if you just don’t do it when its bitter cold. Working on air drills for one week a year outside is not the end of the world if you do it when weather is halfways decent.
