Ryan Harvesting Soybeans!
Ryan harvests his 26 acre soybean field!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZread 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.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
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!

Ryan, I along with many others are privileged to spend time with you and learn a bit more of How Farms Work. May you and yours produce excellent videos as long as you wish. All the best
SO PROUD of you guys. You work hard and honest. America needs more of peoples like you and your Family. Love the videos. Maybe do a 'show' on how you make your videos. Cheers from East Tenn......
Always a pleasure to watch.. Thanks Ryan..
Thanks for sharing your harvest with us Ryan.
Glad you’re getting some beans done
Ah, the Power Line farm. It's nice when "new" ground is so close to all your infrastructure. Good to see you running the combine this time. You never can tell with soybeans. Long hours can drain you, but sometimes it needs to be done. Thanks for the video.
We Love you Ryan. Happy Thanksgiving
absolutly love your videos ryan makes me so jealous. i was really ad when my uncle sold all his combines in saskatchewan. might try to see if i can get out there and do some of my own farming in a few years as he still owns thousands of acres.
Thanks Ryan love the video .
You and Mn Mellinual do awesome work. Great Farms.
Haven’t watched you guys in a LOOOONG time, forgot how interesting this stuff was. Keep up the good work!
That was very interesting after the sun goes down the beans get tough. Kinda scary watching you unplug the machine but you knew what you were doing that’s good! Just love 💕 our Rocket boy such a good dog!! We have 5 inches of snow in n lower mi. Love your videos lots of blue sky and sun ☀️ and NO SNOW ⛄️
The videos with the bobcat in it are my favourites
It really amazing to see farming across the pond
I liked that first person view of you using the controls to put the beans into the ez trail. Makes it interesting to see how those types of things are controlled for us non-farmers.
Nice to see you're getting it done! Hopefully you can beat the rain and get your field done. Saving 27 cents a bushel for hauling will be HUGE! All the best from the Denny's
Good work ryan!! Of harvesting soybeans.
So cool watching from the combine. Gator goes very well too.
Regular auger heads tend to have wrapping issues compared to drapers due to the feeding... however it's not unheard of on draper heads either. It's only happend once on the MacDon head we run. Flax straw on the other hand, it's a challenge for any header. Those auger light gremlins.
Great video Ryan!!! You and millennial farmer... I feel bad.. No auger lights.. But again great video!
Hi you are a god inspiration
I have spots like that to Ryan in my fields awsome video
Great video Ryan
thx for the nice video ;-)
Love the harvesting video you should do them more!!

@JUST GUNNA SEND IT I know that, but I mean like put a camera in the combine and get more of it.
What percentage of crop do you loose when picking? Is it a lot or a minimal amount? Is there a better way of picking soybeans other than the combine? Thank you for you videos. They are very educational and I enjoy them very much. I always look forward to the next video.
This morning I woke up from a dream so real. In my dream I was standing in front of your farm (Rockville) and the band Phish came out and were playing this HUGE JAM as they walked down the road in front of your place. I could hear a huge crowd off in the distance cheering. I was so ecstatic that I got to film and photograph this. And then I woke up and wandered around my house for like a half and hour thinking "That was soooo real man" Farms and Hippies. Who'da thunk it??????
Nice we got a foot of snow
Dust is flying good the beans are good to go
Great video it’s nice to see you operating the combine! #WorldsOkayestFarmer
Will you put the doors back on the 4020?
One step closer
My beans yielded 16.....id be doing cartwheels for 40! Lol
Check your variable speed clutch on left side of head. Looked like it was smoking a bit. Could have been just dust, that will run for awhile like it is but if it is going out your in borrowed time.
Ryan I've asked that question myself how can they look so bad an yield better than the better looking beans. I've seen them laying flat an do good an Vice a versa too
i know travis had mentioned thoughts on getting a 'new' combine any thoughts on size? Perhaps like a 9660 size?
I think the last time I saw running the combine was when you were cutting those oats
How many bushels does the auger unload a second
We have snow everyday until Friday
I don't know what the deal is with those auger lights I had the same problem its in the ground. I ended up grounding it so its on with the main lights and I like that because I can see when its racked back all the way. And on the ol 860 I used to have it on all the time that was my chopper light

This is what happens when Ryan isn't running the grain cart😂😂😂
Why are the rows far apart? Why can’t they be closer together?

The lodged and bad looking areas are like that because at times they have so many beans on them that they lodge,any rain and subsequent wind usually means that all the high yielding plants can’t support themselves,my thoughts
Are you always so late harvesting?, are the risk of getting snow isn’t to big?

If you are hauling the farmers grain in Indiana you do not need a CDL. Indiana is one state that did not change it. Ryan does not need a CDL until he starts driving commercially. You run farm plates you are good.
In Louisiana same rules apply
Wouldn’t the weight of the extra bean pods b what pulls the stalks down?
From what I've seen, beans need a little bit of stress to put on pods good. Too much hurts the plant where it can't put on pods, too little and the plants feel safe and won't put on extra pods
When will the video you’ve been putting together over the past year going to be released

Hey Ryan, you should let rocket jump in and out of the gator bed like that. My black lab was put down because her knees blew out from jumping in and out of truck beds around the farm. Just a fore warning. HAPPY HARVESTING!

Somebody teach me here please! I've watched Travis and Ryan operate the combine and both seemed to do a lot of steering.. Why is that? In corn the row should be pretty well centered going into the head but on the steering it would seem that the planter would not plant to make all of those steering corrections necessary. Is it possible that there is slop in the mechanical parts of the steering? like ball joints or other parts? I guess it could also be in the hydraulic motor that drives the wheels.

@John Haas I guess I had forgotten about the contours. That makes sense. I was really thinking that the steering was slopy like an old truck with worn out steering parts or even the steering box. Thanks!

Well tickle my fancy!
Honestly I dont think we have even plugged our head but we have plugged the straw chopper tight
I will tell you, the disaster area is because the plants more likely to flop around with more weight, hence the heavier averages.
Go CATS!!!!!
First!
Yes even with a MacDon it will plug right there too. Enough to make a guy pull his hair out.
We had ice yesterday. I drive by a couple of bean fields everyday to and from work. I'd bet that ice isn't good for beans.

Oh no combining beans on frozen ground absolutely sucks it's a slow process and it can be very hard on the head
Curious... Don't know if anyone ever asked..?..but wonder why y'all don't use "Brodie(Suicide) Knobs" on your tractors and combine for quicker and "easy-on-ya" steering..??
That machine has side lights which are operated by the turn signal switch, way brighter than that little light on the end of the auger

Is it just me or does the younger generation of farmers like to jerk the steering wheel a lot more? We were always taught to drive straight and barely touch that wheel.

Depends on the rig honestly. Use to run a 9670 that was rear wheel assist and the rear had those big floater tires which made the combine stay in a straight line. But auto steer was extremely nice once the headlands was done.
