Their growing corn that is bioengineered then genetically modified to be poisonous. The insects that eat it die. If people were to make it more than 60% of their diet they will die also. On top of which they spray 1000's of gallons of poisons and toxins into the soil and ground water to get record yields and maximize profits. Herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, weed killers, toxic fertilizers. The well water in most farming communities is classified as unsafe for human consumption not to mention the wildlife. What these people are doing is sick and evil and you think people should help them out? Currently 86 countries refuse or restrict importing American agricultural products because it's garbage like what these people are selling as food.

Grant, might I suggest you pre fill that big oil filter with oil before installing on the engine . I don’t do this for my little diesel engines , however for the bigger engines it takes many seconds to fill that big filter and then supply oil to the oil galleries and the crankshaft.

Yup. Always a good practice to fill up all filters you replace (if possible). For those that are not viable, there's a trick where you modify the base to add two ports (an air bleed and a mini hydraulic push lock) that way you can put oil in after the filter's been set in place.

Hi Laura, I'm a truck driver who grew up on a farm in SW Nebraska. I noticed the tracks in your field the other day while driving back to my old hometown for harvest. The question about what people call corn harvest. I've noticed, is answered by location and the era you grew up in. For me, it was picking corn and cutting beans and wheat. My grandfather called it shelling corn and thrashing wheat. BTW, I was one of those watching and not subscribed, until today. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work. I'll be the truck driver waving like a fool at you and all your neighbors while driving down I-80 now that I know approximately where your fields are. Keep up the good work. 👍

Decades ago, i was about 12, i was with our neighbor in the field harvesting sugar beets. It was october and the field quite muddy. That field was part level and part it had a rather steep slope downhill. The harvester was towed by the tractor. The harvester had a conveyor, about 6 feet wide, to the right side to unload it. There were a lot of beets on this conveyor, making it right side heavy. On the way back to the next row the tractor drove along the sloped part, the right side pointing downhill tilted i guess about 20-30° to the right, about a foot above the tracks it already had made into the field. Due to the mud the tractor slipped down into the tracks. The harvester slipped down, too. Because of all the beets on the conveyor on the right side and it already being tilted it lost balance and toppled over. There was an open air seat on the left side in the back of the harvester. I was sitting there. I got thrown up in the air, and landed on the wire mesh cage that holds the harvested beets. I got a nice pattern on my back from the wire (well it was not wire, much thicker) mesh. Luckily the seat was on the left side, not on the right side the harvester landed on. I´ll never forget that. So a tool to break a window to get out can be a life saver.

Laura, I have one thing I learned from this - I could NOT do farming. The worry I would have at how I can pay the bills, keep up with the enormous expenses and repairs that are constant, and be terrified if the crop failed. Oh my goodness, you two are the bravest people I will ever meet. And again, you two provide the food that I eat at my table so thank you for serving really the world with your production of food!

Picking - shelling - harvesting. This is a grandpa question. Picking goes back to the days when corn was literally picked by hand one ear at a time. This migrated to when machines still picked the corn on the ear, typically with a pull-behind or tractor mounted picker. When the first grain bins arrived, most folks added an attachment to their tractor mounted picker to shell the corn before it was augured into the wagon - this was called a picker-sheller. Withe dominance of the combine, we began to call it harvesting corn.

I grew up in Northern IL. When we picked ear corn to fill the corn cribs, it was called picking corn. When we used the combine for various crops, it was called combining corn, combining soybeans, combining oats, and combining wheat. When we shelled the ear corn out of the corn cribs, it was called shelling corn. Pepper and the kittens are adorable.

I totally enjoy watching your videos. I appreciate the hard work you’re putting in not only on the farm, but in putting out the videos. You and Grant are awesome. Thank you

its combining corn, picking corn is when the corn is harvested with the cob (ear corn)

We started with a 2 row corn picker, eventually added a shelling unit on the back of the picker. We also harvested corn for silage. finally had a 4420 combine with a 38 " 4 row head So I can say we have picked, shelled, harvested, and combined corn and beans.

I've been an active viewer since subscribing around 3 years ago. I was once a produce farmer but it was small-scale by comparison. And yeah, it was a lot of work, around 12 hours a day while I was still in grade school. I didn't learn a lot in school, but wasn't brainwashed either. I grew up to be a software engineer when my school told me flat out I'd never be more than "just a farmer" due to low test scores.

My wife's uncle (Atkinson, NE) called it "chopping corn" but that was a dairy farm and I believe they used the whole stalk for silage. We really appreciate the frequent updates. Thanks to both of you. We are telling everyone who will listen that you have a great channel!

They have commented in other videos that this was a dryer than usual year. I think they usually go ahead and plant those non-irrigated areas because those areas will produce some corn if they get decent rain. I'm guessing (though I definitely don't know) that, on average over the years, the extra profit in those areas from wet years exceeds the seed-cost and other planting/harvesting (glorified mowing) expense loss from dry years.

Were you able to blow out the air filters?

Have you ever tried planting something like a drought resistant corn seed on the dryland portions of your fields? Also, as a data analyst, I've been racking my brain about the different bits of data that could be collected and then used to help get better yields or project the yield throughout the growing season. Is this something that is often used in the industry?

@jwenting

10 ай бұрын

as to the latter, I can state definitely that YES, such data analysis is vital to modern day farmers. Correlation between soil composition, seed density, moisture and fertiliser deposition, and yield is gathered and analysed constantly. And as technology improves, this can be done ever more fine grained to where these days the water and fertiliser requirements can be tuned for every few meters of a field automatically by the computers in the machines, as can the seed density. Obviously sprayers for water aren't as accurate, but for fertiliser it is now distributed in precisely calculated doses so as not to waste anything (and to reduce pollution as a very desirable side effect, though the original goal when developing the tech was of course to reduce cost as fertiliser is very expensive). Different brands have different names for it, but they all do more or less the same thing. Soil samples are taken, combined with last year's yields, and used to compute the optimal seed density and fertiliser density for every spot of a field down to a few meters.

Awesome video! I especially like the shot with the kittens and the sunset, it was spectacular. About the vernacular concerning corn, I was told that picking corn is plucking the ear of corn from the stalk, whether by hand or machine, then conveying it it to a wagon to be dumped into an inclined drag conveyor that filled the corn crib crib. Shelling corn is when the corn on the cob was stripped by a machine when it was unloaded from the corn crib. Harvesting corn is using a machine that "combines" both operations

I grew up on a farm. We PICKED corn and COMBINED beans in Tennessee. One of our cattle pastures was on an S curve and we had people miss the turns and crash through the fences several times when I was growing up. Most of those incidents involved alcohol so my dad would let them cool their jets til morning before he would help them get out. Luckily, no cows were ever harmed.

I would have expected way more than that. 😮

When I was a kid, my family that farmed in various parts of Nebraska would use their corn stubble fields for winter pasture for cattle (either their own or as a rental space). Seems less common these days, do you guys do that or has it really just gone away?

@jwenting

don't know about Nebraska, but here in Europe the stubble gets plowed under as fertiliser for the next crop usually. The wet winter weather pretty much guarantees it rots nicely before the next crop starts growin.

They range in from Buter and Sugar corn, Silver Queen Sweet corn. These seem to be most popular around here. I will also for us there is nothing better fresh sweet corn covered with butter here in late August till the end of September.

Hard to believe that so many folks watch and don’t subscribe. It is such a free to us way to help you guys. That, and watching the commercials is so easy to do.

Thanks for another great video Laura and Grant. It was interesting. How interesting a vehicle of some type crashed into your field and destroyed a fair amount of corn. You would think they could have done the right thing and let you know they damaged your corn. Wow. What a deal. Keeping your machines going and serviced is very important. My compliments to you both for the excellent care you give your machines. I see you were blowing out the radiator screen and big air filters which is really important also. The tractors and combine operate in a heavy dust environment so my compliments to you for doing that. Laura my vote is harvest.

Your videos are incredibly interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!

Picking is just pulling the ear from the stalk, shelling is removing the kernel from the stalk (though it is called threshing and cleaning with the combine). Since you are doing the whole process in one sweep with the machine then it would be harvesting. That is the way it was always explained to me growing up.

GOOD on Y'all for your commitment and dedication

Great videos you two! In South Dakota it’s usually picking or combining, too!

In my part of rural Nebraska. It's common for a car to drive off the road and through pasture fences. When the hog confinements were operating. It was a weekly occurrence.

With the equipment you all use. I think it is all of those things, picking, shucking, and harvest in one shot... You two are the pros!! GOD bless farmers, they feed the world!!!

That added fluid (aka ad blue) is a distilled water/ureum solution sprayed into the exhaust and is supposed to nutrelize particles in the exhaust gasses and make it more environment friendly. It might be an idee to show a ,,escape car in accident,, instruction. If ever needed, hit the glass in the corner to break it. But there might be an plastic layer so you still have to kick it out with your foot.

Thank you for mentioning the changes to the inner workings of the combine that are needed. I was just wondering how one combine could work for two different types of crops!

Great info for us city slickers but definitely interesting to know how hard farmers work to product the products us city slickers use on all products we use daily. Thanks!

Always enjoy your videos. Spaying some silicone spray on all the pivot points on the swing out panel to excess the stepladder on the corn picker. This could make a huge difference in the effort required.
