Appreciate the thoughts Mike! Also sorry to see poor yields on your end too. Definitely need to get together when the boarder opens up!

We need a Tony Fast, Welkers and Mike Michell Collaboration.

I wod love too see that video you, Tony, and Nice together talking farming..😀

Morning Mike, finished up pulses last night, so nice to be done those things. Lol We grew yellow mustard, never have grown it before. Run 780s might need a little help with the settings. Sorry to see your crops aren’t doing the best.

I appreciate you showing yourself activating the safety locks. The list of families I know that lost a loved one to a head dropping is too large. Stay safe.

Thanks for the entertainment Mike and I never knew brown mustard was well...brown

I do appreciate the Welkers content as well as yours and Tony Fast. If you guys could meet up at next years farm progress show in Decatur IL I would totally be there. Went last year but worked the night before, met Tim Marks but missed the Welkers, Cole and whistlindiesel. I was too tired to stick around long and think some of them caught the Rona.

Excellent video. Perfect mix of commentary, information, and even some quiet time to just watch and listen to that sweet X9 do it’s thing.

Definitely need Mike and the Montana boys to meet and chat

I'm enjoying your posts Mike. Thanks for the border footage I always wondered what it would be like way out in the open spaces between Canada and the US.

Here in southwestern North Dakota we've been having a good year for us, durum is yelding 80 to 85 bushel to the acre and barley 90 to 100 bushel to the acre compared to last year where we were getting poor yield due the extreme drought

Hi Mike I can see in your hands that you are a great farmer how is not scared of work. Like your channel keep it up.

Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤️

Thank you for showing us the border again Mike! #harvest2022

appreciate your positivity mike, cannot be fun pulling that light load off the land. it stands out that you can take the long view

Letting the door auto close is priceless for guys that hate slamming doors of all kinds!!!👍👍👍

Good luck combining your 2022 crops Mike

having you and tony and nick talk would be great

Best brown mustard crop we ever had in the Macklin area was over 35 bushels/acre, 1 year. Long time ago, even before we had fancy air seeders! Straw got so long in low spots, though. Remember swathing dam stuff cause it wouldnt ripen. Some of it would grow 10-12 ft tall and lodge down to about 3 1/2 ft tall. Make big mess if not careful.

Fun fact, gleaner has a ladder by the cab that you can swing out to get to the grain bin.

Rented a Gleaner s77 one fall. They have a ladder right beside the cab so u can look in the tank.

Great video Mike

Mike , thanks for the education on the border , it would be nice not to play The border game and just to be able to cross back and forth no questions asked . Besides watching you I also watch the welkers and Tony fast . All three of you guys are great and I hope the outcome of fall harvest is all good .

Another great video Mike! Horrible to see another year of rubbish crops for you but good to listen to you explaining everything and seeing the new machines.

I loved cutting soybeans and remember always having to adjust the reel height and ground speed on the fly and by the seat of your pants depending on the crop conditions. Love watching your videos! There is one thing that I see on that JD I do not like and that’s the header safety lock, if the machine has a catastrophic hydraulic failure that header is coming done.

Ah, the good o’l days. Spent allot of time unplugging the feeder house back before the reverser’s. 7700’s, 8820’s. I believe the 9600’s had reverser’s if I remember correctly? Beautiful machine you have. Excited to see the X9 in operation on the good crop up North

That whole border thing is just so fascinating to me. Some borders are guarded 24/7 with armed guards and razor wire,and others are just WIDE FREAKING OPEN! That actually gives me a warm feeling. This is what it looks like when two nations who are very much the same share a border. This doesn’t look bad to me;this looks good!

Here in the South (Georgia) our tea is sweet tea also.

Hello from Northern Wisconsin.

I always enjoy your comments. Thank you for taking the time to share your videos. I’m sure Your son will be sharing the cab with you. 🤗👍

I like the sample door on the old Gleaners it fills up slowly via a small bit of c channel that run up under the bin auger and it takes little bits as you going so you sample is a good average of whats in the bin.

Hey Mike great video. I don’t know why they would say anything about you guys crossing the border. They sure are letting anyone cross the southern borders. Watch about jumping off the cabs those knees will really hurt in a few more years. Stay safe and thanks for letting us ride around with you.

I like your explanation around the brown mustard though.😃

Sweet tea all day long!!

Grew up on the Montana border as well was on the fire dept and in the case of fires there free movement between borders and our American neighbours would call us for help often

I always enjoy Mike. So sorry to see the poor crop. That always sucks @$$. Praying for good weather and bumper crops in the head future

I use the sample door as the ladder. Granted I’m still using a JD9400

Pre onboard moisture sensor days sample doors were used daily.

Great awesome video mike, hail damage is the worst . Feel bad for nick , I would like to see all you together in a video, Brian , nick , tony , and mike get together

very interesting Mike

When you're in or near a high security zone it is always best to act with the presumption that you are always being watched and listened to *especially* if it seems like you couldn't possibly be observed. Thanks for the "leg" protein in my mustard BTW. Nothing wrong with some insect parts as long as they've been through the cooking kettle. I only worry about insect inclusions that get in *after* packaging of my food.

Only sweet tea for sure in Wisconsin

Have cattle customers in Montana they have to cross occasionally to get fence crawlers back most just cross and get it done. Usually as you say patrol shows up before process us complete

they should make the sample door a sample step as well. then you can either use it to take a sample or step onto the roof.

Very true with the sample door

You need to yell " Power Door " when you shut the cab door.

Sweet tea I've found is more common in the Southern United States. I'm from Texas where just about everywhere asks "You want sweet or unsweet?" go far enough north and they just bring you sugar packets if you want it sweet.

Hey Mike sorry about your yields I hope you have crop insurance, worst is the price they charge us for insurance. Here in Ontario we've had a drought also not as bad as you guys. We just took off our second cut which should of been our third and it was very thin. Let's hope for moisture this winter and next year it has to get better. Stay safe

Mikes dad jokes, never gets old🤣

Mike.how is brown mustard sold by hundred weight .bushels. ? Very cool video with you on the border .I often wondered what the markings looked like 👍

I like Montana iced tea very well. My favourite drink on a hot day. Second best is hot black tea.

I would like to see one of those cameras or listening devices. Thank you for the videos and good luck with harvest

Can be a small rock wedge in there also to stop that center canvas

Sweet tea only!

My god it could take 2000 acres to fill a bin

Im glad I'm not the only one that doesn't use the sample door much... that cab ladder would be a nice addon. Speaking of safety stuff... that rotational horn would get smashed in 😆

Well, I guess we won't be able to step over the border when we visit Alberta 😂 We definitely need a Welker/Fast Ag/Mike collaboration at an ag show or something. Too bad you can't do it in October - we would rearrange our holiday (coming over from Down Under) to be there!

what are u smokin farmer......brown mustard is a good crop, and thanx for sharing your life.

Crazy how those machines take in so much product and removes all those little seeds.

God Bless you Brother Mike! 😌 You’re correct. They are doing poorly in Montana but it’s all about the attitude just like you Brother they are working on the ol 5 years plan! My Father has a huge (for Western Washington) Ranch in Sumas Washington State. We have a huge Field (like just one of yours) and Canada is our Northern Property line. 🧐 We used to rent the whole thing out for years before my Dad retired and moved there. One of the Tenants 🙄 thought they would be just fine throwing duffel bags full of money across and catch the duffel bags of weed they were smuggling! This was a long long time before weed became legal here in Washington. They did a huge DEA investigation and they almost cost us our Ranch we had to prove it was renters not us. 🤦🏻‍♂️ After everything my Dad had to pay thousands for Lawyers and Legal fees! We never rented it out again. Dad retired from Pharmacy work and he has it for a “Hobby Ranch” ❤️😏🇺🇸🖖🏼

Superbe vidéo

have you guys ever tried the case combines out?

Thanks

Mike. How are the new machines working out? Less problems and easier or same maintenance?

I live here in north Carolina and down here our tea must have sugar and the colder the better

People that have pasture along there tell abut cattle getting on wrong side and suppose to check with border patrol but usually just drive over to get them back. And your right they do show up very soon. Loaded cattle right near border many different places one was very close to an observation tower

Hope you get some rain next year. Do you have crop insurance like in the US? Is mustard an insurable crop? Two bad years in a row really hurts.

Sweet tea is the only tea.

God Bless.

Being one who has run them all through the years Massey was the dominant machine till they sold out. Deere and Case IH were not even in the picture hardly in custom operater Deere and Case took over in later years. Ran about every model in them up to the 9750 in all the current machines I can take the old 7720 and beat anything in samples along with 760 Massey. But in my experience over the years the Class has them all beat in capacity. Even your new John Deere models. You have to pick a machine that you get the best service out of which is The Dealers you know that I'm sure

Sweet tea , need to go way down south in USA and then talk sweet tea .

Mike as a Florida citrus grower I always enjoy how the other half farms... questions for you..you mentioned when the pods open what are the chances of reseeding and the survival rate? Second question as a low harvest rate what is the break even for your mustard? Thanks for your ongoing vedios.

I live northeast corner of Montana not far from. The Canada us border. The grasshoppers cleaned out everything here to.

Do you have compressor connections so you can blow off the header etc at the end of the day ?

Mike are you running the combine in auto mode letting it adjust on the go?

I'm from NC and we drink sweet ice tea

Howdy good video

How hard would it be Mike to make said ladders near the cab? Also we use the sample door on our New Holland, but we just do wheat.

Do you store mustard on your farm or take it directly to elevator or processor?

Great videos! How far are you from Welkers?

John Deere Case IH whatever make combines for corn and beans. You have to improvise in other crops to get clean samples beginning with filler plates and filler plates and in your case you can't really set combine good in poor conditions need to run the machine full. As you well know

Hi Mike. What about de pulses crops this year? I sow you harvesting very poor wheat. Is the same with dry peas and lentils? Thanks

Nice video

"THEY'RE LISTENING!" 🤣🤣🤣

I am on team sweet tea.

At the end of harvest, make whoever is at the bottom of the stuck list eat a spoonful of straight mustard seed(assuming it's safe to eat like that). Stuck List mid season check.

How many bushels per acre do you plant?

I know u had not very much rain but would u consider swathing it if it was a good crop ?

Love when Mike got back in and it Said he was averaging 12.9 bushels not really 3

For brief moments Mike got to experience the intense awesomeness that I experience every day, of being in the United States of 'Murica!! **rousing music plays and majestic eagles crap on tourists**

Glad to some kind of yield this season with the draught! Better than Zero ama rite?

Pity about the yield, Prices look good though. Tripled in the last few months,

So what is a good crop. For mustard in bushels per acre?

You will be glad to get to the north farm see some higher yields

Have you had any plugging issues with the X9 or S series yet?

Kates Ag is also from Montana

You need a wall to keep that wind out...

Considering that you also plant canola, when do you usually seed it? In Germany the farmers already start doing that.

Is that road new since you last stopped there? Will the combine pick up what you dropped to unblock the feed.
