Iowa looks like the luckyest this year..but it aint over yet!

Im supersonic and will be there in 30 seconds

Agreed, this ended up being me thinking of Top Gun jokes for 8 minutes. "Just a drive in the field, Kazansky" 😂

“You’re gonna do what!?!?”

Nah it won’t that gator right there would cost so much most farmers aren’t worried about stopping this is insanely expensive, where as a grain cart doesn’t cost much and it’s very practical

It's filling the center planter tank

Thats exactly what i think every single time i read comments about guys saying starting farming is out of reach bla bla bla. Its like NO ya dummy! You dont go down to the new equipment dealer and add up the cost of equipment! 🤦‍♂️ Like shit! Of course they think its out of reach when you do thaaat! 🙄 We have all older equipment except one later model combine. Its the only thing with a payment. Bought our big ag chem sprayer for 8k. Our TR 98 combine for 14k. A 4 wheel drive tractor for 20k. All your implements you can get pretty cheap on farm auctions. And you dont even need that big stuff when you start out so that makes it cheaper yet! Just learn to fix stuff! Lol

Better buy propane now then. They will jack the price of propane in November, because they know you have no choice but to buy it.

R. B.1994 why would you plant corn that late? Why not plant beans?

the weather conditions in in illinois was very bad till mid may. We are actually startet very lade. And of course we are finished corn before the beans

Rafael Ramirez I'll take you from behind big fella hahaha.

You could blow it in relatively easily

Pretty sure it's custom.

We are still out there farming without all the gadgets.

@@clintonirlbeck9865 I haven't done any farming since I was 18 years old. That was 40 years ago. I've loved what I've done for a career but have often looked back fondly on my years farming. I'm glad to hear the smaller farms aren't getting pushed out.

I agree Mike their just lookin 4 trouble

sam aikens gps I would say

Same thing i was thinking.

Mid field refueling 🤣👌

Only backwards. This would be like the fighter refueling the tanker.

It’s customized I don’t think this is practical that gator would cost at least 100k

Auto steer..... You just step out of the cab and go.

Yes it does. It is an empty water bottle. A little tricky to take a dump in though.

I drive grain cart for the JD out fit I work for and my unit I run is a 9510RT with a 2000 bushel twin track grain cart. We have six JD combines and one 1000 bushel grain cart the little cart takes care of two combines I keep the other four going. Very seldom do our combines stop its all about timing. I grew up in the 90s my grandfather ran a 7721 pull type JD behind a 4650 2wd JD and also had a co-op combine and just a couple of three ton grain trucks. I'm 28 now and I just can't believe how big farming has got we get retired nabours to drive combines for us and they get blown away when I take all four combines and sometimes my lead once more before I go dump and I'm able to fill a B-train and part of a tridem. Hard to believe only about 20 years ago a 7721 pull type was still a decent sized combine a legend at that now it's tiny in today's world of farming but in my opinion probably the best combine ever built.

That's what your kids are for!

Mr Sunshines 😂

PIPER DOUG I’m sure they did but I think they are also comparing compaction problems from all the weight of a 2k gal tag or saddles on the tractor

@Mr Sunshines would take one to know one

It doesn’t

Kent Nauman some people just can’t help themselves.

Planter holds 80ish units of corn that's enough for 188 acres roughly at 34,000 seeds per acre. He can carry probably around 1000 gallons of liquid fert. but 500 of that capacity is probably pop up so 500-600 gallons for 2x2 at 15 gal per acre is only around 36 arces.

@@33jcut ah thanks! sorry I'm just not a corn guy. This just seems to be a lot of extra work, especially considering that there is already a hitch in the back end I imagine for pulling a liquid cart. But I would imagine they've done the research as to which is better. I'll just enjoy the inflight refueling video lol

@@joelenfesty3034 compaction issues with pull behind carts. Especially in no till operations. Also maneuverability becomes an issue when to prevent weed growth and maximize acres you are backing into corners and the planter needs to get all the way to the edge

Saved us over 4hrs per day and in an already extremely short window this system was a life saver

Austin Olson ... hey thanks, I can appreciate your situation. 4 hrs is a lot of valuable time. But how much is the system?

@@jdlewis5951 $20k but at $140/hr operating cost on the tractor and all the other costs of operating per hour it all adds up fast...I'm by no means saying it's for every operation but it does fit ours quite well

Austin Olson hey Austin, thank you for the info I appreciate it, definitely something to think about , I can see the value on very large sections of land. Some cool forward thinking!

Not to mention the inevitable coffee recycling stops! :)

Guys claim an extra 200 acres a day by not stopping. That's a pile of ground

most farmers use 30 inch between rows,, but some use 20 inch if they use it for silage

Yep, not a perfect leak free system.

tens of millions of acres.

@@warlordplisken9605 farmer in the video only few thousand I know them

@@user-A244F I'm talking about the entire nation. Why does everyone in the USA think the entire world is just what they see in front of their faces? If there were not millions of acres of farmland, the factories wouldn't make such devices, and everyone would still be using horses to sow the seed. How much does corn for seed cost? Plus, what is the yearly operating expenses of a farm that size? You know, things like property taxes, electric bill, equipment loan payments, the whole shabang. I just did the math. Based on the last USDA crop yield predictions, 5,000 acres has a max potential of netting $4.15 million, assuming $5/BU. I'm guessing after bank loans and yearly expenses, there isn't a whole lot left from the gross sales.

@@warlordplisken9605 I find this highly ridiculous...

@@davehughesfarm7983 What part do you find ridiculous? The part where farmers are planting millions of acres of corn and soy, a month late, into mud? Or the part where the USA has no strategic grain reserves, because they were sold off in 2008? Maybe the ridiculous part is that seed for cover crops is running low, because of all the PP acres this year. If just 1 major nation, such as Brazil, decides to not sell the USA grains this winter, we will have a famine. Is that the ridiculous part? Or maybe it is the fact that farmers are blowing out their brains twice as often as veterans. The USA is setting itself up for a winter famine that can potentially kill hundreds of thousands of USA civilians. Farmers are already committing suicide faster than homeless veterans. This is a national crises. It isn't funny one iota.

Thats was one little mishap.

It's a tax write-off.

Also a good chance they farm too much ground and cash rented land out from under their own neighbors... God dont like it...

allen schmitz last year my cousin has a farm. One field is split and the other is the farmers next door. Same seed planted 2 weeks different. The other farmers corn was planted 2 weeks earlier. There was some cold nights and days. He waited to plant. and by fourth of July his corn was at his eyes he's 6'5 the other half of the field was just under knee height. It's amazing what cold weather does to the strenght of the seed. I have pictures and it looks unbelievable.

Doesn't seem to affect anything really

I think this outfit is a long ways from Rosetown Saskatchewan.

They plant soybeans by airplane

@@cityamish1 very few farmers plant beans with a helicopter

some use 8 blade drones they carry 15 kg of load

Lol

I should think with a planter that big they could sure stop to fill.

You step back 15 years ago and the same thing could have been said for unloading corn/beans on the go from the combine to grain carts.

You got to stop to take a whiz anyway.

@Mr Sunshines I only have to refill every two hours.

@@chadengemann8237 You're going to have to go back a few more years than that. My father was unloading on the go in the 60's. Drove bobtail beside combine before carts were used.

Non irrigano, infatti le medie produttive sono ridicole rispetto al nord Italia. Coltivazione estensiva

Ok coltiviamo mais anche noi qui a Brescia ogni 8giorni dobbiamo irrigare o che loro hanno estate piovose !!! Se no di mais non ne fai

io sono di padova, so cosa intendi.le loro produzioni medie in asciutta sono sui 60/80 q.li ettaro, in irriguo il discorso cambia, sono simili alle nostre produzioni o oltre.per il grano sono sui 30, capisci che il loro sistema di coltivazione si basa su grandi estensioni e un basso costo per ettaro, cosa che da noi è impensabile.

@@dariorossetto è si minima lavorazione meno attrezzature costo del gasolio sarà più basso mais transgenico però il parametri delle Alfa tossine sono più alti dei nostri
