Very exhausted some days. It can be a lot of work but I love sharing what I am doing with you guys and maybe even the pages of history. Who knows how long people will even be doing this stuff.

Thanks for the video! I sprayed hills in PA with an F-350 with a GVM body. Not for the faint of heart.

I see guys around here with 4x4 solid axle sprayers with monster truck vibes. Putting one on an f-350 frame is pretty smart

Holy shitttt.. Thats a roller coaster ride right there....😮

Any time Charles. I went up to Idaho and got some shots of a front mounted boom sprayer and rode around with a farmer up there. Should make for a good video. We shall see. Thanks for watching this one.

This looks like it’s in eastern Washington state ? Just saw your profile, is that near Cheney ? Those hillsides are beautiful in person.

A JTI guy came out and pulled the motor. They replaced the block, but the head and all the other parts were just moved over to the new block. Saved a ton of money and the combine runs again.

Thanks for the info have a great yr.

What are you going to plant in that ground? Does the big yellow ” wide vehicle “ sign on the front annoy you? I couldn’t stop looking at it, but I suppose you get used to it. Great vid as usual, good to see you’re having fun whilst working, always a bonus. Cheers.

The stuff that looked real dead will be peas, it was barley last year. The first person shots where it is real green will be fallow for a year. Moisture is our great limiter. Theres not enough water to plant peas or rotate anything else in. We must let it rest or it won't grow good wheat on it.

Trevor do you ever get stuck with the sprayer up in the hills? we get stuck at least 3 times every time we spray.

The combines throw a lot of wheat out the back ? That is enough to raise another crop. Air plane

You're always going to be seeding behind you and it can be worse on steep up and down bits. The 8 and 9 series CASE combines have auto leveling sieves that help with the hills. That, combined with the leveling systems by Hillco...we harvest most of it. You would be surprised by the yields compared to the little rainfall we get. We farm all 4 sides of an acre though.

@@TrevorStrutherstechnology has come a long ways with auto leveling, robotic drivers , satellite controls and records. Do you make 80 bushel acre on winter wheat or is spring wheat better ?

@TrevorStruthers

Ай бұрын

@@danthurman9076 The winter wheat is always going to be better here. It averages around 70 but we have years where its around 100 and others where we collect crop insurance because the wheat burns up from lack of moisture. We plant in the winter to make the most of the wet winters we have here. Once May ends, the rain ends until about October again. Spring wheat is more used to clean up fields with cheat grass and is often done as a spring re-crop. We have to leave it fallow every other year to let the soil get moisture again.

@@TrevorStruthers I farmed corn, soybeans, little bit of alfalfa and spring wheat. It was more for straw than just the hard red wheat, bedding for sheep, cows, pigs, and a couple of horse. I see now the 20 and 15 inch row spacing, talk of 300 bushel an acre of corn and 80 bushel beans. Seed prices are through the roof ! 86 CSR rating land selling beyond the moon ! One 80 acre tract sold for $ 1.3 million bucks ! Cash rent at $300.00 per acre! Investors bought the land from a widow for $ 625 per acre in 1988. Where will it end? Bust is coming again I feel.
