Bringing My 40-Year-Old Farm Shop Back to Life!
My grandpa's first farm shop, built in 1983, has endured decades of wear and tear from Mother Nature. Today, I’m setting out to improve the appearance of this 40-year-old building. Despite its age, the shop still plays a crucial role, housing many tools and smaller items essential to running our farm.
Rather than replacing the tin, I opted for the more cost-effective and efficient approach of repainting the steel. After learning about paint guns and their application, I tackled the task of restoring the building to its former glory.

BROKEN Tooth - Fixed Tractor
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 22 hodinami
Today on the farm, it’s time to begin servicing the tractors in preparation for the upcoming corn and soybean harvest season. This includes servicing the John Deere 8285R, 9620R, and 6150R tractors on my farm. Performing this service ahead of the harvest hopefully helps prevent any breakdowns or issues we might encounter and also gives us time to order any parts we may need. The services perfor...
Why Do Farmers Build Grain Bins?
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed dnem
You've more than likely seen grain bins driving through the countryside or a rural area, but have you ever wondered why farmers build these grain bins? In today's video, I explain the various benefits, cost savings, and efficiencies farmers receive with the investment of grain bins on their farms. Grain bins, although simple in design, serve a very important role on the farm and can help improv...
Are We Selling The Planter?

My family's farm started planting corn on April 21 and finished planting the last drowned-out spot on July 15. Our John Deere planter has handled 40% more acres this year compared to an average year on our farm due to all the replanting we have done. With all this extra work, maybe it's time for an upgrade? Watch today's video to find out what we decided to do with the planter. ►Watch More HiTe...
The Last Time My Farm Will EVER Do This!

Today at the farm, we are attempting something my dad has never done before: planting soybeans into a standing corn crop. After enduring 15 inches of rain in June, we are forced to alter our crop plans as the growing season has passed its halfway point. No matter what happens from here on out, this will be the FINAL day planting of the year. Join us to see how this year's flooding continues to ...
We've NEVER Planted Soybeans This Late!

Our farm is currently experiencing the wettest spring and summer in over 132 years! As a result, we're replanting parts of our fields that have drowned out for the THIRD TIME this season. With July in full swing, the soybeans we're planting now will likely serve more as a cover crop than a harvestable one. In today's video, discover why we chose to replant instead of leaving the soil barren and...
A GIANT 2,000 Pound Rock is in My Field!

A MASSIVE 2,000-pound rock appeared in one of our fields, and today, Dad and I embarked on a mission with the John Deere tractor to remove it from our cornfield. Initially daunted by its sheer size, we took a break to clear smaller rocks. Determined, Dad later resumed the challenge of moving the colossal rock. Stay tuned until the end to find out if we conquered this monumental task! ►Watch Mor...
Tractor Stuck in the MUD!

The John Deere 410R tractor is stuck DEEP in the mud in one of our fields. Watch as we tackle the challenge of pulling it out several times. After the recovery, we resume spraying from the drier side before the sun goes down. The next day, I join Caleb, our custom applicator, to learn about the spraying technology and prepare for more mud challenges. Today's video demonstrates how this year's e...
How Do Farmers Afford Tractors?

Farmers own $600,000 tractors, but how do they afford these essential machines? In today’s video, I explain the various methods available for farmers to purchase the equipment they need to feed the world. From buying outright with cash to financing through banks to leasing from dealerships, I cover all the options. Plus, I'll showcase the investments made on my family's farm in machinery. ►Watc...
HISTORIC FLOODING AT THE FARM - The Aftermath

After receiving 13.4 inches of rain in less than 5 days, the flooding has finally ceased at the farm. As the floodwaters recede, the full extent of the damage is becoming evident. In today's video, I document the immediate aftermath and revisit these locations three days later, as water levels begin to diminish. I also assess several of our fields, making management decisions for the next steps...
CATASTROPHIC FLOODING AT THE FARM!

13.4 inches of rain in less than 5 days has inundated our fields, causing severe flooding. Our farm's bin site is damaged, and many roads are now inaccessible. In today's video, I show the widespread destruction caused by this once-in-a-lifetime flooding event that swept across my farm in Southwest Minnesota. This catastrophic flood also impacted Eastern South Dakota, Northern Iowa, and all of ...
This Might Cost the Farm $$$

The farm had 10 inches of rain in May, and the fields are not looking very good. The corn and soybean fields have several drowned-out regions where the stands are very thin. In today's video, we use the John Deere planter to begin filling in the drowned-out areas. It feels like a redundant job since we have already planted the fields once, but to optimize our fields, we planted more soybeans in...

The farm is being faced with a decision to alter the crop plans for the unplanted acres, now that the calendar has flipped to June. Unfortunately, mother nature pushed us to this decision, and we won't know if it was the right one until harvest.

Did you get your tooth fixed or did you make this video before you broke it?
I wonder if I am the only one who talks to you while I am watching the video as if I was standing near you to give you my advice and opinion?
NO more JDs for me, they went woke.
All the pro painters are losing it right now 😁
Hello Matthias, it's been a while since I last did any painting. One thing for sure, paint sure has gotten expensive! I never used any type of spray gun, just a roller brush and paint pan. I'm impressed with the airless paint gun. How do you clean it out between uses? Lastly, I confess, I have safety glasses, but I didn't wear them while you were painting. I managed to stay upwind of the over spray.😊 I don't like heights, so I was wearing a helmet, along with elbow and knee protection. I made it all the way through the video, uninjured. I'm a professional painter, and didn't know it. 😊😅😂
Nice job Matthias, looks great! I have one of those sprayers and love it, use it on cement block walls and did a great job really fast. Your tooth looks great too, that smile is so much better! lol

A fresh coat of pant always helps protect the metal more! What about the couple of holes in the side of the building? Do those needs to be patched?
Option 5🎉
That corn might cost 8.3 cents a pound. But by the time it's sold, resold, packaged, shipped, sold again, and shipped to the grocery store it's $1.59 per can.

Absolutely brilliant work! Very ingenious to preserve old tin.
In a year this will be outdated because the market changes
You did a great job!!!!
I was expecting a number 5 which would be nothing
Looks great to me, big improvement.
Imagine all the other stuff you can paint now with ease. :D
See you got that tooth fixed lol 😂

What those people are saying is why don't You just sell your grain right off the combine? Why would you want to wait for 8 or 9 months? You can use puts or calls on grain that has already been delivered.
Correct, but you will lose out on any basis appreciation and the cost savings of drying/blending

Chepes Judo is insanely good too bro, i swear he will be a problem in the future. Since hes come to Denver he has improved so much, he also arguably beat Bryce Mitchell in their fight.

Are you saying that you can drive the 340 from the combine, with no human in the seat of the 340? Or is there some other functionality that can be controlled from the combine?
With the current setup the combine can control the 340, but someone still needs to be in the 340 to unload the grain into the semis. Pretty cool technology that we will be using again this fall

a neighbor says, "if the government juice is no good if it freezes, are you supposed to keep your equipment in a heated shed when it iswinter?" Nocombining or field work except summertime?!
That’s a great question! The DEF stored in a bulk tank will freeze, but when it’s in a tractor there are heating elements to keep it warm and prevent problems. Although in the winter when the crops are out, most of our tractors stay in a cold storage building and we never fill them full of DEF because it will most certainly freeze
Its called capital spending. A tax write off for equipment against income.
back to the old crop duster it is then :)
Option 1
huh, well time to supply for the apocalypse
Option 4😂
Farmer's welfare. Farmers always have their hands out demanding more of the working man's money. Nothing but welfare queens who think that they are some sort of rural nobility.
I think when the government started paying the farmer subsidy checks is when these prices started getting out of hand.
If I cant fix the equipment myself on the farm ....it doesn't touch my farm. 😊
