- Over 25,000 bushels of hard red spring wheat grain removed from the ground and hauled to town. The process has been simple and effective. With this large loader we can fill a truck in under 8 minutes. The last step is cleaning up the leftover grain on the ground.

Looking forward to the grain bin construction videos. Enjoyed this video. Getting stuff done is inspiring. Thanks for the class session on farm economics.
You bet! Hope to have some good videos soon!
@@WelkerFarms If you guys were to build new bin, where would you have it built. Close to home or machinery shed?
it is quite amazing to see how much money you can save just by building another bin and storing the grain for a couple months till harvest is over, a lot more then people not on a farm could imagine
@@WelkerFarms So why the decision on 2 25000 bins and not a single 50000? Is it simply a matter of the 2 will cost less?
@@MarcusWindt I''m guessing that gives them the flexibility to store 2 different crops if they want to, but I'm no expert.
Its really important that you explain the "why" behind your decisions because it helps educate ordinary people just how volatile the industry can be from month to month. You guys are the best!! God bless the Welkers!!
That's very interesting good that you explain to us the prices, the benefits of holding and so on, thanks for that. P.S. I hope Mr. Arms didn't forget what red color looks like.. #FindLegArms
Thank you for taking a moment to explain the costs. Not only does it help many of us appreciate the stakes farmers risk, but appreciate the food we eat more. 👍🏻👍🏻
8:35 Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind storing the grain. Its really cool to learn how farms like yours works.
I think I can see you from Oregon with that vacume!!!!
Yep, it floated over eastern Washington.
That was an incredible plume.
So happy your family was able to make the best out of the grain on the ground, can’t wait to see the bins.
Leg arms brief appearance in on that Minnesota guys channel was great.
I don’t gamble but I’d be willing to bet that he’ll be back, his 15 second cameo showed his loyalty to your families farm, or at least to red!
Never really watched deboss garage but saw legarms in their story keep checking for a video maybe, hopefully.
I'v never even been in a farm.. yet i cant stop watching Welker farms and How farms work videos.
Thanks for sharing the economics of storing your grain on the ground.
This video proves that it is important to store grain to get the best prices and not be in hands of the grain elevators. I hope you guys get 2 bins with unloading augers so you dont have to deal with the grain vac as much.
Really appreciate the time spent on editing mate.
That 9370 is SOOOO sharp!!...i just LOVE seeing her back to work....Good job!!!
Thanks for explaining the economics of storing the grain on the ground. It is all about economics and cash flows.
If only people knew how many hours this takes to prepare and be this well organized! Hats off to you Welkers. We didn’t even know what it’s like to farm in Montana, and you represent all farmers and great Christian families. God Bless, from SW MN farmers
I love watching you guys seeing how Farms actually work in America compared to Atlantic Canada
This is how they work in Montana. America is HUGE (much like Canada). Farming looks very different in other parts of the country.
i worked at a farm in alberta canada. looks the same for me 👍🏻
isnt Montana just south of Alberta ?
@@HungryCow212 is right. Wisconsin and michigan have similar thanks to our states big commitment to dairy, texas focuses on free range beef, Nebraska is big and small grains, georgia and so on is big for hay same with the dakotas and so on, each county in every state has it's own special way of farming, mason county in Michigan(think ludington) the west half is known for fruit farming the east half is dairy and row crop. Oceana is more vegetable and row crop than anything unless you count new era which is home to country dairy.
Thanks for sharing some of the $ numbers, it really helps understand how the farming puzzle works. Your videos are so entertaining and informative. You and MN Millennial farmer are my 1st choice of entertainment. Keep up the great work and may God Bless you as well.
That was cool. Nice not have to spend the winter worrying about grain on the ground. New grain bins probably nix the suggestion that follows. For sweeping up the final layer of grain on the ground a hydraulically driven rotary brush on the skid steer would really speed things up.
We started piling corn on our cement pad we will pile up to 90 thousand bushels of corn and then tarp it. We place a ring of bin panels about 3 feet tall with fans around the perimeter to keep air moving on the grain. The pile will end up about 30 feet tall and 100 feet around. We have 4 25000 bushel grain bins . 2 bins have soybeans in them . And the rest is corn. We are having to dry the corn down because it is running at 25 to 30 percent moisture. We will then haul it to the ethanol plant over the next year . They pay us more to keep it for when it is hard to come buy in the spring and summer months. We have to haul it in over time instead of all at once . Altogether we will sell them 250 thousand bushels of corn between what we grow of our own and what we get from crop shares from custom harvesting jobs. Nice video and good choice on saving that crop until the price went up now you can build some bins !
Brilliant solution to your grain storage problem. That grain vac makes it possible.
Great to have some insight in the prices and why you store grain exactly!
That is why I watch this channel....not only is the scenery beautiful, you work as a family, and it is agriculture at its finest, but...you guys are smart and innovative! 60K!!!! Congratulations! Well deserved. Wish wheat was at $10/bushel!
Thanks John 👍
Hey man just wanted to let you know I just started working for a farmer in Kansas as I write this through my mic I'm sitting in a grain cart you inspired me to start farming I might not own the farm but I'm here because of you thank you
Your breakdown on the prices u were gettin and what u saved was amazing 💪💪 great video operator👍 now just need Leg Arms back to drive the loader 🙄😂😂😂👍
Clean those stakes and spray paint some florescent orange/yellow/green - then next time you use them, you'd see them.
Additionally paint them like you said, but tie some yellow rope to them as a flag. We do that on our farm for sharp things we don't want to lose
Pretty cool seeing dust slowly drifting away in long stream in air.
You guys really do God's work. It must be a huge feeling of satisfaction knowing how you help in feeding people.
Nick it was interesting to hear the money involved in your crop holding. Certainly lets you see why some farms have so much storage!
That grain vac is awesome. It looks like putting up dust from 10 miles of bad road without ever leaving the farm. Pretty cool. Keepin' an eye out for Legarms. No sightings other than on that Millennium guys show.
"Just a little dusty" LOL! That drone shot of the dust plume was excellent
Wow! That grain vacuum is really neat.
Nice how you guys are able to vacuum up that extra grain which is saving lots of money that would have other wise ended up as bird and rat feed. Leg Arms was located at the Stealth Drone School.
I honestly didn't expect that the grain vac worked so wel. That cleaned up real nice.
That’s awesome!! All that hard work did pay off in the long run!! That is going to be great for you guys to have 2 new grain silos in the farm!! I haven’t seen legarms and I live in Utah lol!! God bless and stay safe!! I will keep an eye out for legarms!!
My first video of yours I enjoyed it and I really liked your transparency, giving us the numbers of the money you saved was very interesting! I subscribed and I hit the like button👍🏼
Welcome Cindy, glad to have you aboard, Blessings 👍
Playing the harvest, storage/ cost , over all costs is a very interesting adventure indeed !
You guys are really efficient. Love watching all the equipment mods and repairs.
Oh how we miss Legarms. Also East Texas cattle farmer here plus it's the end of hay season so gotcha get it done
Restore the 4520!!! Ours was an unbelievably reliable tractor. An estimated 15 to 18,000 hours. Hope to have the time go through her in the near future.
I was wondering if the snow melt was going to run in under the edge of the tarp and cause some spoilage or not. It looks like things turned out well. In your climate it would appear that piling the grain on the ground for short term storage is a very cost effective solution.
It can be. We were concerned that without more anchors across the tarp it wouldn't made it through the winter winds. Probably would have lost the tarp via ripping in below zero conditions. Love your profile picture !
I saw Legarms having a intravenous drip containing a red solution after getting too close to John Deere equipment at Millinium farm.
Great video good luck with the new grain bins
I know Im late to the welkers liking comments and stuff, but theses guys have tought me more things about farming than farming simulator ever will. Thanks Nick
Great explanation around why you store on the ground. Thanks
Good management. It takes money to make money. Your creativity will allow you to be more and more productive. Well done.
What that break down in cost told me is that the money saved against a few years in time, the bins paid for themselves >60,000$< by >25,000$ build cost< is coffee funds later or a paint job on a big bud. LegArms is feeling guilty for not being there and Nick is wandering around wondering when will little big brother will be home as in you never miss the water till the well runs dry. I still get that feeling myself at 72 years of age
After you catch up on all your welker farm videos, i just got a chance to upload my first one! Thanks to welkers and many others for the inspiration to share what we do as an industry
Heck of a central vac!! No more Grain Mountain on the farm. Thanks for sharing
The vac is a great idea. I wondered about loss on your corn piles.
nick ur a good man for having a toyota
I would never have believed that the vacuum wood work so well. Smart thinking well done.
Great Job!!!!! On the picking up those to piles! Good video as always Nick!
Thank you!
Hauling some serious grain!!!
Once again thank you for your videos I appreciate you filming them and good job on picking up all that green it’ll look pretty awesome with some brand new grain silos there
Drone footage on this series was on point 🙌
Nice job done there. It really did save you some money there. We put ars in to barns over here in UK. We don't really have the bins . Some farms do. But most of us put in the barns. That fac did a great job. I think neighbour farm got all your dust. L.o.l from Andy in UK
I heard #legarms was close too me. Check with border security in Buffalo NY.... love the drone work. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
The quality of your farming videos is top notch! Keep up the good work
$100,000.00 for two grain storage bins is a great investment in your farm, you and Leg-arms are still young men and have many years of farming ahead of you!!
Wow that vacuum works great! Can’t get it all, but got a lot of it. Nice work on the video Nick. M.I.A. aka Legarms!
Hello from france Welker family , you have a nice John Deere 844 , here only three JD 844 sold in all , it was an extraordinary wheel loader , very good continuation to you , and thank you again for your videos
That's awesome Nick storage is priceless keep Rollin appreciate the video✌
I'd be fine with moving out to Montana and helping you guys I'd enjoy myself in the wide open fields of that state
It's a good thing that you had a left-handed smoke shifter to clear that dust away from the grain bins!
Just got a chance to watch this video. As always it's great to see you guys work. Being in the flour industry, and watching grain prices change from 1 minute to the next, I totally understand the holding onto grain. Btw, great video's and god bless. Keep the videos coming.
wow them piles cleaned up well would have never guessed them to clean up that well hope yall have a very happy holidays
i really love your videos nick wish they could be longer, take care
thats great putting it on the ground paid of and great your getting couple of bins but nik honestly leg arms belongs in that loader take god bless welkers
thank you for another well done video. I was expecting to see Leg Arms in a green machine, MM Did comment, nice burn out exit,
Worked on a farm for 10 years and have a question. Why hasn't someone built a collector based on a smaller combine grain table. Slowly work your way into these piles and load trucks constant. Wouldn't take that much to get a wore out combine and modify it to do that. Would save a lot of waste and cleanup till the end. Just a thought.
Good vid and decent storage solution with a big harvest. Be nice to raise that dust stack some :)
No footage of cattle? Last year a crop/Dairy farmer neighbor put up a giant GSI grain bin with a big wet holding tank! Rumored at a million dollars. I hope the two brothers kids are gonna keep farming so they can pay it off someday!
0:45 is why us country boys don´t need studios to work out. ;)
I just wish people would start to appreciate quality of work more than getting things the cheapest way possible. I am seeing the same degredation in price for work as a machnist whos only variable in quality is the effort he puts in to his product. A variable I am in control of. I can only assume the way you farmers get hit by that trend because you´re affected by a number of variables you have no control over.
I see that in the service field as well. I'm a technician that drives to your house to fix the problem that you have. Customers want everything for free or for a "good deal", problem is if you do that for everyone then your business goes into the red. People don't appreciate quality work and don't understand business economics.
@@jdjohnson i was raised on a farm but life turned me into an electrician, and i agree the best customers are blue collar people like us
I'm a farmer and I try to get things as cheap as possible...
@@brandonmiller7466 yeah that's how capitalism works. If another person offers a similar product for cheaper, they get more business. Sometimes it's cheap quality, but then you are getting what you pay for. So you have to stay competitive to run a successful business.
We have lots of "Chuck's in a truck" in my industry that will do any job for 1/4 of the price that is industry standard but it's because they can ignore your phone call when the bad work causes problems (tail light warranty no mater what they promised), they don't have overhead like licensing, insurance, rent and all the other things legit businesses have to have in order to operate.
Legarms stopped at Millenial Farmer long enough to hear job description and high-tailed it out of there, dust a flying!
Awesome video Nick !!
I think all that dust from the vac made its way all the way to Colorado! Had my doubts that would work but was impressed.
I would love to see your metal or iron prices to go up so you can clean up all that scrap metal you got keep up the good content
Loved the drone shots on the loader! They were on point
Your a strong independent welker who don't need no legarms
It’s to bad your vids take so long to come out but in the end it is so worth it👍👍😉🕰
You really need to build a nice big shed to park the combines and stuff inside for the winter
Just out of curiosity, have you guys ever looked into bagging grain? From my experience it seems like much less work than doing piles. Up here in Saskatchewan its very popular and seemingly much more efficient in terms of manpower and time saved during harvest. Lots of farms including ours bag like 80% of the crop each year. The downside though is that bags are susceptible to damage from animals so we gotta make sure they are picked up in decent time!
Awesome video...and thanks for explaining why you did this and how much you made by doing this...Well done!!! Great decision...and great video...Love the channel...
$60,000 saved? Time for some new toys!
Now you're talking!
@@WelkerFarms "What do you want for Christmas, little boy?" A grain bin!!
@@WelkerFarms Bought a lot of contruction steel to put up a big building where you can store your grain in and your machines in.There is a lot of money in good working machines,dry stored
... or pay the salary for Leg Arms. :P
keep up a good work there will be more in the future😁😁
And once you get the new bins. The time and labor saved from putting it on the ground will amortize pretty easily.
If Legarms is with MN Millennial farmer for any amount of time, you might not want him back, he could be like spoiled beef. Another great vid, thanx for sharing.
Amazing. I work in the Grocery Industry and people don't have any idea how they get a loaf of bread for $2.00. It takes a LOT of work.
God bless welker farms good management on the spring wheat to put it on the ground to save money
Thank you! God bless!
Do not forget your outside security lights, great shop!
Last time I saw Leg Arms, he was trying to be talked into running green tractors, and he took off like a Greyhound! LOL
The crowd is not booing. They are chanting " Legarms, Legarms"!
Your Leg Arm story reminds me of a story Paul Harvey told years ago about the farmer that placed an ad in a local newspaper, and it read, "Lost. Two goats. Don,t really want them back, just want to know how they're doing.
That's one heck of a dust cloud. Last time I saw one that big was in the Kuwati desert.
Great video good to hear rain prices when up for ya'll keep up the good work
Bit sceptical about the grain vac but it done a brilliant clean up ,good job as always 👍👍
Just have to spend some time cleaning bins with a broom and scoop shovel to appreciate the vac.
WOW....this has gotten to Sony Pictures production value.....GREAT JOB!
Maybe a wide flat nozzle on wheels for the vac hose (Aluminum) might work faster? Might suck up too much dirt. Nice work...it wasn't on the ground long.
Yay! I was looking forward to another one of these great videos! :) I remember your 100k special and it was amazing, still don’t know if that 💯 in that field was actually from you harvesting it but anyway. You should do another for 300k
Hey
I'm glad you were able to move that spring wheat and get a decent dollar for it. Also very glad you got it moved before the real winter sets in and it can be off your mind!
Got a question for you, just curious how those bins you out on hoppers worked/turned out? Saw them in the background of the video and was curious.
They work out nicely. It made it easier to get seed when busy seeding. And less damage to the peas.
@@RobertWelkerFarmerBob Hey Robert
That's great to hear! Always nice when something you put time, money and effort into pays off/works well. And anything that makes things easier in the heat and business of things is that much more rewarding!
I am surprised you did not lose more grain to the ground then you did.that price is lower then it should be.the trucker hauling it to a bread maker gets more money gor his job then you get growing the grain.that is dhit but life of a farmer.great vid and glad you can put up more bins
I don’t understand why people dislike the video if they don’t realize u guys are feeding them just like my family farm. So that is telling me that they don’t like to eat food
