    CURRENT SCHEDULE
    Expect a new video every Sunday and Wednesday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a CZcams 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.

    You are literally cutting stalks! Back in the day after harvest we would disc the stalks and called that cutting stalks. Then in the spring use a moldboard plow followed by one or two passes with the disc again dragging a pegtooth harrow behind it, then plant. And we called harvesting or combining corn shelling corn, I guess as opposed to the old-fashioned corn picker. Think my uncle picked it with a two row picker, when he got a combine with a 4 row corn head that was a big deal! Awesome videos Ryan 👏

    Hi from oz Ryan. Don’t wrap high moisture corn stubble. Let it dry first. A suggestion. You could ammoniate it before wrapping. That is pouring a certain amount of urea water mix over each bale before wrapping (I’ve forgotten the ratios to use, been many years since I’ve done it). lol up the formula on internet. This starts breaking down the cellulose but does take 6 weeks to brew. Also it doesn’t need to be air tight seal like silage. So you could wrap it with half the normal amount of reap making it a bit cheaper.

    If you want to salvage the most RFV from stalks, you have to be almost on the tail of the combine with the bush hog or shredder, and close behind with the rake and baler. Processor baler is ideal, and then wrapping. It only takes 3 extra people to do it right! 😂 The cattle will enjoy the bedding....😮😅👍

    The most important part of cleaning the mower deck off before leaving the field is to prevent lowering the total bail count. There was probably half a bail on top. 😂

    Not sure if your looking for extra work and income?
    If so you can charge the solar farm per acre to keep the grass mowed under the panels from your new 1,000 head Sheep Flock.

    1. Maintain the Solar acreage
    2. Sell the Lambs

    As for making corn silage, you cut it just when it starts to tassel. right? I saw one guy cut it after the ears developed but before the plant dried out. That way he had the green of the plant but also some corn mixed into it.

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  Před 10 měsíci

      I'm not sure when it's optimal, I've seen some guys wait until the green just about disappears from the plant before cutting and others do it at tassel.

    The presence of the solar field I find disturbing. Another example of the American agricultural land, some of the most productive in the nation, disappearing forever for purposes of very questionable longevity. I don't believe anyone who says "It's for the better." This is how the family farms contracted to what they are now, and corporate farms are on the horizon, unfortunately. It echoes the decay and disappearance of the farm I grew up on.

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Basically it's close to a transmission line. I think they're targeting this area because we're as far south in the state as you can go, and population density is lower on this side of the state and steadily increases the more East you go. Funny you don't see these projects going in within 50 miles of a major city, because they don't want to look at them.
