I really like your honest story of farming. Every job has its challenges but you all seem to take everything in stride and with a smile. Bless you and all you do. Thanks for sharing Welker Farms with all of us!

I ran a 60's vintage C960 loader, briefly. It had 2 sticks (one for the boom, the other for the bucket) and it was the funnest machine EVER. And went anywhere. And, I also had to pound the pins once in a while, lol

I really admire your optimism guys the Lord always has a plan

Bit of a rough end to the year there. Love how you stay so positive even in the bad times. Thanks for sharing guys!!

This whole video just made me think about how much fun winter on the farm really is. I can remember deal with each and ever one of those problems. We had cattle and hogs too so they always needed special attention when below freezing. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Thanks for the glimpse into your life. Deeply appreciated. As you were walking in the snow, I heard the crunch that only happens below -10 Celsius, and I thought it must be pretty cold out. Then, you said it was 13 Fahrenheit, and I chuckled on the the inside. God bless;whatever gods you believe in.

Good morning Nick. Thanks for sharing hope you have an awesome day

Hey Nick! Getting equipment and machinery to cooperate when it's bitterly cold is about the toughest thing about farming. When I farmed (+20 years ago), hauling grain to the elevator when the bottom dropped out of the thermometer was an exercise in patience, determination and sheer will to accomplish the goal. I remember trying to haul wheat in the bitter cold...not fun. I had an auger with a B&S motor for power. Dad had a trick where he'd warm up a teapot of water on the stove in the house and pour the scalding water on the carburetor of the motor to warm the air and gas going into the motor.. It always worked but I wonder why the pot metal of the carburetor didn't crack. Simply defies physics. We'd haul in the bitter cold because no one was crazy enough to do what we did. This way there wasn't a long line of trucks to have to wait for. Thanks for sharing your world with us Nick...take care.

Life is a highway. Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug.

You need some kind of safety harness when climbing around those tanks attach to the rungs of the ladder above you going up the ladder

Frozen tarps Oh the fun!!! Best of luck with those peas

I love cold starts!

My dad told when I first started on the farm if something doesn’t feel right you need to stop, Get yourselves a harness and lanyard and add a vertical climber line on your bins, as you only get one chance at life.

@jfdb59

I was thinking about this too as I've climbed a TON for work. Seems to me like the most likely spot to miss step would be on the top inclined part where you can only get your toes on the rung, not your whole foot. Then there is nothing to stop you from sliding right off the side to the ground. Even a couple risers off the vertical ladder would increase safety quite a bit. They could be shop fabbed and bolted on. Something to catch instead of going all the way down. Your idea of tie off cables would be even easier to install. Though would require a harness to be there.

My work has a really great safety culture and it has changed how I do work at home. I think of what's at stake and that is that my family needs me health to provide for them and the impact to them if something happened to me! Again I thank my employer for emphasizing this. They also emphasize speaking up to look out for each other. So good job Roger for speaking up when you knew something was not right!

We have been hauling corn to the ethanol plant in large shipments. We have to fill our contract for 250 thousand bushels of corn. They can be picky as well. We have all 3 of our trucks runing and 2 contract driver's runing as well. We hope that by February we will be out of corn. I have been chisel plowing new ground that were renting. It's very rare to be able to do tillage in January here in michigan. Nice video stay safe and remeber that you still can sort out that mold and sell those peas stay persistent and farm on my friends !

Great video presentation as always. You all persevered so wonderfully in the face of some many setbacks. Take heart you are in good hands and He is faithful who watches over you.

Bad day (s). Typical farming though, just when you have a big plan it falls apart....

Our 4230 4440 and 4630 all blow oil out of the manifold when idled for hours on the auger. Turbo is fine bud. Scared me at first but that's what old deeres like to do. Like an old cat. Sloppy but loyal.

The amount of people who would starve to death if they had to raise their own food would be staggering. And it's not just black people. There are so many people of different nationalities that live in the big cities that are clueless. It's actually very sad that they are so ignorant of the realities of life and how food is grown or raised. I'm glad my folks taught me how to provide for myself. We weren't close to being rich monetarily, but we were rich because we grew our own food and raised our own meat. I'll quit rambling but keep up the great work Welker Farms!!

Reading these comments, I’m amazed all these internet farmers aren’t running empires of their own.

Don't forget, a CO2 fire extinguisher blasted into the intake can stop a runaway diesel engine by starving it of oxygen. It's probably the safest way I've heard of to stop one, both for the user and the engine.

@SKC640

4 жыл бұрын

A big enough wooden flat board to fit over the turbo housing is the absolute best way however if the intake is still on the truck or vehicle then yes a fire extinguisher is the next best thing to stop there airflow.you just don't want to be putting a fire extinguisher in a running engine that could easily potentially be saved if the turbo is open or the intake has a flat surface for the board to seal.
