Aww God bless young Mr Frank for getting into the corn patch and helping out, we oldies wouldn't have it any other way. Many hands make light work😂 Bless you all.
Does my heart good to see a family working in the flieds like that together you don't see that much anymore I like the way you farm be blessed brother 🐝
Yes, I used to plant truckers favorite non GMO corn for both my consumption and livestock and if nitrogen is available During all phases of the growing season and moisture is adequate it'll grow very tall and produce a large crop of ears
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures yes sir he did a fine job!! I’m headed out now to bow hunt. Just set drinking a cup of coffee and watching your video,your a Blessed man Mr Mcgie!!!
Seeing your sons working..without rolling their eyes, on a cell phone, or arguing..gives my heart hope..if most children were like this..we would be living in Eden...
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures seems like we have lost hold..too few parents like you, these days..most try to buy their children's love and admiration..instead of showing them how to be a wonderful human being..
I really liked this one, too. Memories! Riding in the wagons. "Surfing", or what we called surfing... The huge, flat hay wagon beds became super slick and polished from years of hay bales being drug'd across the hardwood. Add a little hay chaff and you could truly "surf" as the wagons were hauled to and from the fields on bumpy dirt roads. We had skills! (or so we thought) And the corn cribs. Endless corn cobs for making corn cob pipes stuffed with tobacco salvaged from cigarette butts -- left on the garage floor! (tobacco wasn't harmful in the 60s. It was recommended by doctors in the commercials) LOL! Our corn never suffered from mice. We had resident King snakes. Several lived in the corn cribs. You want to see a farmer go Nuclear? Just kill one of his snakes. I never thought to ask about mice in the winter. Snakes hibernate...
You guys had a great harvest ! It's awesome Frank still gets out and helps you . I sure enjoyed growing the Truckers Favorite corn this year . I will be growing a big patch next year if every thing works out . Thanks for sharing !
Nice to know about leaving schucks on even in dry Saskatchewan. I have a small city plot and will be planting the crimson clover I bought to plant a fun garden. In it I ordered gem glass corn to plant. So excited for spring. Too cold here over winter to plant crimson clover. As early as possible in the spring my clover is going in. 🤓 Thank you for another great video. I love you neighbour Frank out there helping you all.
My neighbor had a manual shucker I guess you would call it. You put the ear of corn down in it and crank the wheel by hand and it would peel every bit of the corn off the cob. That old thing works great and I help him run a bunch of corn through it.
The only way you'll get a crib mouse-proof is to line it with #4 hardware cloth and tack a strip over the edges, otherwise you are going to have a bigger problem with mold.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures love your videos. Yall are my kind of people. Hard workin down to earth country folk. I've been binge watching all your videos since I discovered them a few days ago. Lol can't wait for more deer videos. Maybe some hunting/killing videos this fall!!? 🤔
I love that place. If you have problems with small rodents 🐀You can insert pieces of broken glass into those holes ... that's how my grandfather did it 😊All the best dear friend!😎
Get her done! Good work, fellas!
Gotta work up our appetite for biscuits and gravy!!!

I really enjoy the flavor of the truckers favorite cornbread!
The way you have everything laid out you got to have great deer hunting. That’s awesome with the clover and corn. Good video!!!!!
It’s pretty good! My 10 year old son got two Saturday in the juvenile season as you know!

Good luck out there bro! Hope you bag a whopper!!! 🦌

Great job working together to get it all done.
Thanks brother! We laid it on it!!!
Please get a few head of cattle. They would clean a corn field after the harvesting! KEEP up the videos.....
Thanks so much!

I couldn’t be happier that you got seed raised in Indiana! It will be much better next year!

I think you’re going to do very well! Yes old Frank is a great guy!
We got a good video coming tomorrow!

I assume you mean a corn sheller like this?

U should also try making a small silo and storing the corn in there that would be interesting
Great idea!
That corn 🌽 is great 👍 when cooked on the grill in the husk covered in foil! Another fantastic 👏 video 📹 👏
Come eat some!

That’s what I did...... I’ll do an update video soon.
Thanks for all your great tips!
You’re welcome!!!
Awesome job y’all
Thanks guys!👊
That big fella pulled those kernels off like a champ.
Yes he did!!!😂
Frank needed a nap laying down on the job lol
😂😂😂
By hand? Dang that sounds like a long and tedious job. Good job on the corn crib though even if a vermin or two found heaven inside!
Not much different than being married 😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures, great weather huh? 😆
Partly cloudy with a chance for corn on the cob! 🌽
Yall have to have some jam up places to deer hunt with all that corn,clover and turnips planted everywhere!! 👍
It’s definitely not bad!😎

I usually make videos of what to do after it’s dead😂 When the channel gets big enough to pay a camera man maybe we do more hunting videos 😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures you video and let the yougins do the shooting! 😆
@@gadawgs8911 That might work….. they all hunt for a while, and after they decide to sleep in the biggun steps out 😂😂😂

I have missed you very much!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures The feeling is mutual! .. I hope everything is fine there, take care of yourself and your family 🤗🌈🙏
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Sorry, I think I sent the comment twice 😅🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣But I solved it😎😁
We are doing very well! I only hope that you are doing great too!!
I use crimson clover for fernalizer to 😂
It’s extremely good! My corn did very well on it!!!
Nice video son
Appreciate it! Up early!
Yesssssss finally I've been waiting all sommer for this lol
Hey you really like this! I’m proud that we do this! We like it too!!!
Have you ever tried the corn for corn on the cob? We pick field corn to freeze but it's a very narrow window to catch it just right.
Yes we do! And you absolutely correct it’s extreme narrow!😂
That’s a lot of corn. I’ve heard a mouse can get through a dime size hole.
Yes they can!
As dry as Cracker Juice. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Why do they call that corn 'Trucker's Favorite'?
I have no idea…… can’t even guess!
Just asking because of dual purpose would be a great asset to look into
We like to cut it off the cob and cook it in fresh cream from the milk cow! Man alive it’s good!!!
Are you still having trouble with mice in the corn crib?
Nope,….. the boys got it fixed!
Do you get some of the corn ground for cornmeal?
I grind it myself and make cornbread!
You gotta watch this! czcams.com/video/WMdmh1nAoAY/video.html
Watched the cornmeal grinding video.outstanding!
@@danvanhoose6783 Awesome I knew you would like it!
How big is each field
Nothing big…. They vary in size 1-2 acres each
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures thank you. I'm moving from Iowa to upstate new york and looking to do stuff like this
It’s a lot of fun!
