Tying Up Lose Ends!
zhlédnutí 478Před 14 dny
Today we do some odd chores that need to be done, such as bedding down the pig barn, filling up the hay wagon tires, and cleaning up the shed a bit!
Green Chopping & Manure Hauling on the Farm!!!
zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed 21 dnem
Today we haul out manure and start greenchoping for our cattle to eat during the day. It is hard to bring the cattle to the fields so we bring the field to them! We green chop everyday to bring fresh pastor grass and alfalfa to the cattle to eat during the day, it helps to balance the diet keeping them healthy! #wisconsin #farming #Cattle
Planting Soybeans!
zhlédnutí 77Před měsícem
Today we plant out soybeans, due to us not planting it ourselves the video is quite short. Thanks for watching anyways and have a great rest of your day!
Cultivating and Pick Stones
zhlédnutí 434Před měsícem
Today we cultivate our fields, an important step to grow our crops this spring. Next video we will plant our fields and get going on this spring season. Thanks for watching and have a great day!
Cleaning Out Soybean Silo!
zhlédnutí 123Před měsícem
Today we haul out the rest of our soybeans from the 2023 harvest! This is important because it makes room for the new crop when it comes time to harvest and we want to sell when the price of soybeans is high! Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your day!
Baby Calf!!
zhlédnutí 298Před měsícem
Today we have one of our first calves born this year on the farm!
Cleaning up!
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 2 měsíci
Today we haul out some cow poo, since the fields are dry enough to go on. This will help to fertilize the fields and get them ready for spring, also helps to clean up the cow yard. A clean farm is a productive farm!
Wheat to sell, and Cows to load up!
zhlédnutí 436Před 2 měsíci
Today we load up the last bit of our wheat to haul out to market, this way we are ready for the spring wheat in early July to be haversted. We also are selling some of our older cows, this is great way to bring money back into the farm and get rid of some of the older animals to give room to the younger heifers to grow up!
Great video again Ryan! Don't worry about counting "on the fly". We're not scoring you.✅
105 bales, very nice! Great way to load em up and store them!
Again, I wish I lived closer, we no longer have any vintage equipment around here, just apartments, shopping centers and traffic.
Too much talking, not enough action
We try to find a balance between explanation of what we are doing and actually action. We want to explain what we are doing for those who don’t understand it.
You definitely conveyed the sense of urgency to get that hay off the ground. Great video work and great drone footage!
Glad you enjoyed!
@@WisconsinFarmerBros I always enjoy your videos.
Glad the rain took a break when you were loading. How do I get that job loading with the skid steer? LOL
Probably would have to move closer a farm with limit help. Lol
@@WisconsinFarmerBros I loved when we had farms here, I was their free help whenever my friends needed it!
bout time for a haircut, champ
Don’t worry, I got one, was driving me crazy all week!!
I noticed you gave more technical information. That was helpful. What I do wonder about, however, is your use of chemicals, particularly weed killer. In today’s trend toward more wholesome, natural foods, how do you explain your need or willingness to use chemical weed killer? Doesn’t this chemical weed killer affect the food grown in the same field? Even if the food grown is fed to the cattle doesn’t the chemical used affect them as well? If the cattle are used as a consumer product by humans what is the effect of the chemicals on humans?
Will make a video soon about it, and my opinion on it.
@@WisconsinFarmerBros Far out! (An old hippie response.)
Have you done an equipment tour yet ?
No I have not, probably will do one soon since people want one.
Can I ask whereabouts in Wisconsin you guys farm? We're just north of Green Bay in Oconto County.
Cut it at 10% bloom.
We try to do that, that’s when the most nutrition value is present but sometime the weather or other factors dont allow us to cut it at that time.
Very nice!
It was nice when I could see and small the hay versus the ugly homes, condos and shopping centers we have now. I wish I lived somewhere I could help out friends by moving the baled hay with the skid steer.
Never a day off on the farm!
That's so cool!😊
Good video. The more you talk and precisely explain things, the better. City folk don’t know hardly anything about the details of farming. I know because I was raised in both places.
Young bulls rule!
I picked rocks, too. Many years ago.
I used to pick rocks with a skid steer and a long rock rake!
Dust masks, your lungs will thank you in 20 years
Ya, meant to grab some before going in but forgot
Yes, ditto. Please don"t throw your trash out along country roads.
That is ridicules - clean the battery cable connections. Littering, that's a good point. Where do you think that can came from?
Someone driving along the country road probably through it out the window.
Thanks for making that point about littering.
glad to see the bitter cold is not slowing you down!
Where y’all located in WI I’m in Sauk city
Merry Christmas to you as well! I hope Santa was good to you. =)
Never a day off when you are a farmer! Was that a Perot sign in the barn?
Yes
Merry Christmas.
Winter is here in Ohio as well
Some tight spaces in there to clean out!
Man! You guys have quite a big spread. My family in the north milked about 15 Guernsey. That was many years ago as they have not farmed for over 25 years now. The Holstein place on the WI/Il border was a big family operation. There were 3 farms where one milked about 30 and the other about 90. They just retired a couple of years ago. It surprised me that you sell the straw to be baled by another outfit that resells it. It has been many years since living on a farm, so this process was new to me. But then, I always lived on dairy which concentrates on the cows. Whereas, you guys seem to be streamlining your operation into beef.
hi how is the wheat crop this year anbd did it grow good, where is this farm very hot there does the heat have problems with the growing how many arcs there thanks for the video.
Thanks the question, we don’t really have a problem with the heat, stay steady around mid 80 all summer ish, during the heat of the day it could reach temps of 90 to 95! We farm about 200 acres in total~. The wheat came up surprisingly good for how dry it has been this season, glad to have a great crop!
I used to live in Montello -- what county are you guys located? Nice to see some WI farmland
I watch a couple of places in Texas. One is a so called sanctuary, one is a beginning ranch that wants to specialize in Longhorns, one is only a two horse owner (he’s mostly politically inclined as well but he is very knowledgeable about horses.) The last is a newish hobby farmer in Alabama. And, I like to watch the cow trimmers because I took a horse shoeing course many years ago. The reason I watch, and am writing is two-fold. The paternal side of my family were all dairy (Guernsey) farmers in north-central Wisconsin. They no longer farm. I spent quite a bit of time there as a kid. As an adult I lived for a year on a dairy (Holstein) farm near the Illinois/Wisconsin border. I am only partially knowledgeable about farming. As you know the weather is rather extreme and bizarre this summer. The Texas farmers are entering a very difficult time now because of the lack of grass due to drought, and trying to help the animals survive the horrible extreme heat. I found that in Texas they don’t use straw for bedding as they do in Wisconsin. Instead they use hay for bedding! This struck me as so odd. So, this is just to tell you why I watch your videos and some others, who I am (sort of) and interest-wise, where I’m coming from.
Did you know that in TX they use hay for bedding?
There is always something to do!
I’m new to your site so I have questions. In this video you said you just got done with milking the cows. Is this a dairy farm or a beef farm? And, as the 7th generation this farm is very old. When was it established?
We stop doing dairy a couple years ago, we are breeding angus farm with beef cows too!
Great photography! Easy to watch and enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How do you know exactly when to mow the hay? Do you watch the weather on TV to know when its safe to rake? How do you know when the hay is right for baling?
We tell when it’s ready when it is matured( meaning the purple ish flowers start to appear). As soon as we see a couple appear around the field it’s go time! We watch the weather very closely to make sure we have enough time to mow, let it dry, and bale it before it rains again. It ready to bale when it under a certain moisture level, we usually tell by the feel of how dry it is when u touch it! If u bale it wet, you could have a chance of it molding or starting on fire when it sitting in the barn (from it fermenting which causes the bale to heat very hot).
@@WisconsinFarmerBros Thanks.
Seems like everyone's low on rain lately.
Yes, isn’t that the truth!
Looks like a pretty large cultivator.
I want to say it’s a 30 foot, but i have no clue, it’s very big and great for what we need it for!
It seems that the 2 cows closest to the silo aren’t getting any feed.
They move around a lot and push each other out of the way, at some point they get feed.
@@WisconsinFarmerBros yes. That makes sense. That was dumb of me.
I just want to complement you on your driving skills and the way you openned those gates with the skidloader. Hope your spring gets warmer. Stay safe, my friends.
Thanks, comes from being to lazy to get out of the skid steer in the cold!
Hard to believe you still have cold weather there! Brings back memories seeing you in the skid steer with what seems to be Gehl twist controls. I would enjoy spending a day in that beast moving bales off of a field!
Hey bud, good to see you and brother 2 doing a great job cleaning out the grain bin. Your family should be very proud. We've had crazy weather also 40s to 80s. Thanks for the videos and I'll see-ya in the next one. Old Hickory, Tn. 🇺🇸
In the low 80’s today here. Bummer, huh?
Dang. Looks cold there Bros. Keep warm and stay safee, my friends.
Are they all beef cows? How many ?
We do beef, but then we have a breeding herd for building our herd, our herd for breeding is about 50-60 cows and heifer. Our beef herd can vary a lot because once’s there a year and half old then we sell them off!
Good video. How often do you clean inside of barn?
Not very often at all. Maybe once a month at max! The good thing is we lock the cow out of the barn when it gets up into the 40s or higher, this way they can't get sick from the barn being to humid! During the winter time there is there all the time to escape the cold and wind.
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
