Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you subscribing to my channel and liking my videos. You can also find me on Facebook borderviewfarms and on Instagram @borderviewfarms

I wouldn't be worried about planting corn in April. My grandpa always said 2 things about planting corn. If it's warm and dry after Easter put it in the ground. And never plant in mud
Great video Nate, super interesting and love that planter. Even a couple of the infamous Phil sightings.
My daughter are first kid. was born at 3:54am. on this day. It's been crazy just now catching up on your videos... keep up the good work..
Congratulations!
Based on how your seed furrow is falling in ahead of the closing wheels I personally would be running 50#s more down pressure. Could just be a difference in environment between here and there. Looks like fun.
NATHAN THE EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU ARE IN THE 8RX PLANTING WITH YOUR NEW PLANTER TELLS IT ALL LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE WORKING AND ARE GOING GREAT KEEP THE DUST FLYING !!!! GREAT VIDEOS KEEP THEM COMING REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU GUYS FARM !!!
Go get'em Nathan. Happy for ya. Looks like planting is going well. Stay safe.
“Plant in the dust, your bins will bust” my grandpa always told me. Great video… here in Syracuse NY we will prolly be starting around the first of may or there about
Hope your early planting works out good. We are already to go near Findlay,Ohio. Some guys have started. Lots of nh3 going in ground. Planted corn one year on April 17, conditions like we have this year. Turned cold and snowed and stayed cold for a week. Ended up replanting. Our crop insurance date is April 15! Love your videos!
Happy birthday, young lady .
Looks like perfect conditions to start planting. Good luck!!
You can get that tractor tuned by a company and get more power. It will not void the warranty nor will it mess up the tractor. I saw it on another farming channel and it will probably get you around the 400 hp range, also get better fuel economy too
Thanks for the video.
I truly don’t understand how you in the middle of the first planting of the year, with a new planter remember to record the videos. And also in a very good way describe what and why you do the things you do.
I would never be able to do it.
I have come to the conclusion that you are totally crazy in a very good way and I appreciate it a lot.
Once again thanks for the video, all your videos.
Keep the spurs in her side just one rain away from being late. Glad it is working well,stay safe and I’ll keep watching. Getting ready for open heart so I’ll have plenty of Tube time. 😎
Hope it goes well
@@BorderViewFarms thank you
Happy Birthday!
Those are drastic hills man😂😂,I see horse power up grade in the future maybe a chip.
Loved how dirty your tractor got so much dust
Amazing how you do so many things with planting and so early. We start corn after May first. We used manure to get our soil test to high levels. We prepared our fields in the past now we no till or strip till. Here in West Texas it is up to 6 miles to a round the same soil from end to end. Just takes water to make 300 bu yields.
Haven't even hooked up to the planter yet for annual precheck.
@@M8Stealth Getting 6" of snow is hard on the corn stand from planting in April. We put .66 inch irrigation on the planted corn to get over 95% stand.
Great video. So glad you got it all working insanely right ! Roll On!!! Always good to see months of hard work on a new to you planter p.doing like you want. Looking g forward to more planter escapades.
I don't think you have enough monitors in that tractor! That thing is like the Death Star.
Thank you very much
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
Awesome video's keep up the good work go well 🚜👍
Good Morning
yea rain went thru here LEFT COAST yesterday and day before too well NIGHT before? anyhow we got rain out here in CALI again... so it's heading THAT WAY!!! well EAST anyhow... lol
GREAT TO SEE YOU OUT IN THE FIELDS AGAIN! :) have a great planting season may it leed to fruitfull and bountyfull harvests ( and be basically uneventful) lol
Hi Nathan,
Sounds like things are going well, just had a question about the field corners, I think you always just leave the corners un-planted with the 16 row are you doing it the same with the new planter ?
And also can we get a live stream!!
Thanks
Looks right awesome
Yes, 6th gen put a central tire inflation system on thier planter. They also have bought a “new” planter this year.
I think that you ought to pull all the air filters and give them the best cleaning treatment you possibly can! Afterall you said you don't want to step out into that hanging dust cloud for your breathing so why should the tractor do its work as it could if its filters are becoming clogged?
Most impressive performance from the outfit as it is eating up the acres at an amazing rate per hour, the cultivation team will not cope when both drills are planting!!
Regards, Dan
Are you going to use the new planter to plant soy beans? Do you ever monitor the individual row planting performance? Did you hear back on the down force issue? With the soil prematurely filling the seed trench is the infurrow placement affected? Exciting times!
If you don't fill it up, you have less compaction, right? How much does the load add? Is it relevant? When you do your analysis/yielding maps, would it show when the planter was full on one point of the field and empty at another?
I doubt it would show in yield maps but we had about 26,000 pound of added weight between the fertilizer and seed.
@@BorderViewFarms That's almost 12 tons. That's like 6 trucks or so. WOW😆
You got this 😅
Curious - if you plant the irrigated field with the new planter at 30 inches vs 15 inches - will yield be less as there are half the rows?
54 degrees here in iowa
If ya could keep it moving!!!!!
Need seed in field off tender and fertilizer in field. Don’t forget def
I wonder if we will see a 12 row corn head with this new 24 row planter
Nathan talked about that in a video a few weeks back. No, don't have the infrastructure or help to gain anything going to a 12 row.
@@M8Stealth ok I dont watch much of the winter videos
He’s going to have a lot of headlands
@@keaganfarms4400 My fields have 132' of headlands, think Nathan will be fine.
About the tracks on your tractor. Why can’t you go faster without the tracks getting hot? All the other track track tractors I watch can go high speeds on the road for hours and not get hot. Just asking
The early beans should really
pay off for you. Hopefully 10
to 15 free bushels ???????
Have you ever tried poultry manure on that underperforming field ?
Yes got some last summer actually
@@BorderViewFarms so is that for this year's crop then ? I think that would definitely help, corn loves that stuff...
@@raprock5000 yes
Does that planter not hold two full boxes or do you guys just plant that many different hybrids
This will probably be a naive comment, but has it been considered or attempted to have knives or very thin cultivator shovels go through the compacted tire tracks at the end of the planter pass? I am not sure if marginally disturbing / breaking up the compacted soil after the fact would have any impact. Does the initial compaction from the tractor wheel / track create alter the seed placement by the planter and subsequent efforts to break up the compaction would not offer any benefits? Is there a stage of plant growth that is most impacted (no pun intended) by compaction? According to an article found online from no other than Golden Harvest (search: Golden Harvest - soil compaction effects on corn growth), ideal soil for planting corn should be approximately 25% air. Would an attempt to lightly “fluff” the soil be beneficial to try and restore the soil to approximately 25% have economic benefit? I know there are probably 30 other considerations to be counter to this idea. It could be an interesting small scale / engineering challenge study to conduct Professor Nathan? 🤔. Don’t know until you try. 😀
I wish I would have been a farmer
Do you feel there's a significant difference in planting beans 30" vs 15" ?
Yes but not as much early as late. And sometimes 30" has an advantage
@@BorderViewFarms Wow I hope the 30" works as well. It must be a little hard to switch from the 15" after seeing the yields you were taking in last fall. But I'm sure you have your reasons for switching...👌🏼
Maybe next year you could have your ECM flashed?
300 bushel Corn 61 test weight
i hope you will have massive corn
What would you say your average
MPH is. Are you thinking about
turning it up 10% over stock.
After the warranty runs out. ???
Hey I got the same temp/pH meter off of Amazon. Lol
Why do you work fields up before planter?
Should trade that 8rx in for the 410 8rx
You mentioned that you are going to plant corn in a field you can iragation. Is this the same field as you iragated last year? If so, doesn’t that mean you are planting corn in the Sam field row years in a row? I thought it was desirable to rotate crops in a given field.😊
No he is planting beans there with the new planter so it will be 30" rows and he may irrigate the beans this year..
There's a touchscreen version of the extended display.
It is a touchscreen
@@BorderViewFarms Apologies for misinterpreting that it wasn't easy to reach.
Have you turned up the tractor
Trade the rx for a 2 track with higher horsepower might not loose much money
How long is your Train?
Are you max at 8.5 mph with the 370hp
Depends, I've hit 10 and been limited to 4.5
What if you turn the horse power up on the tractor
Why?
Transmission is only rated for that hp and warranty would go away! He's doing way more acres then ever before so why bother..
14:36 you got that FANCY AI OUTOTURNER TURNIN THAT THING YET??? LOL or gunna HAND TURN IT A BIT to get used to it swinging and figgure out the ''HEADLANDS'' ??? LOL
yea AI STEERING ACTIV E!!! LLOOLL LOL !! HAHAHAHa
whens the WARRENTEE OVER ??? when can you add the HP TUNE to that shiny tractor?? LOL how much you think boosting it woould help??
Have turn automation on mine and it's awesome for planting
@@M8Stealth ya last season Nathan got that wizztechyGoGoGADGETgreenie AUTOTURN stuff all worked out on a live stream wasn't it? I thought I remember it that way ... was cool watchin him get it all figgured out and those 3 times it didn't QUITE ENGAGE FAST ENUF when it was heading for the TREELINE... lol
I herd him mention TURNING it ON twards the end of the video:) awesome that it synced with the new planter
tracks arent meant for roading. also running tractor at >100% power constantly also not good for tractor.
omg you road that thing loaded? 🤦♂
