I'm 30yo and feel like I'm 12 again every time I watch one of your videos. I grew up riding Deere 4955 & 60, 7810,83 & 8400.... can't forget the old 4020s too. Good memories, thank you for sparking those for me 😁
just the opening shot of that field. Wow. I'm so jealous. Here in northeastern NY we have clay, hills, rocky 20 acre fields, and a short growing season.
+7rixee thank you for watching. Yield on wheat this year was around 100 bu. A good year normally is 85 to 90 bu so 2017 was a little better than normal. A goal on double crop beans is 50 bu. This summer has been some what dry so we will have to see what October brings on the bean yields for 2017.
+Lucas Makk they move fast. The farm has three R4045 sprayers with 120ft boom and they will spray all those acres in 3 days. They are often the first farm BTP films each season because they move so quick. If I do not film them on opening day I might miss them in that season.
Great videos...good solid information..narration is perfect...and for once no stupid crazy background music. Videos also take the viewer to close ups of the action...Thumbs up..keep up the excellent videos I love watching them
Awesome video. you talk a lot about new machines every year, my question is, is that machines really only reliable for one year even if they worked 1000's of acers? aren't they not relaible any more ofter one year, we see so many tractors work for 10 years plus without major problems, so it brings me to the question, how many hours do the tractors and combnes average in one year on that big farms.
+Jan Kotze these machines cover a good amount of ground in a year. The farm runs 8 combines in wheat and then 6 in corn and soybeans. The 6 2017 S690s will each harvest 5,275 acres of crops this year. The combines and tractors are not worn out but the farm does not want maintenance and repairs so they move to new machines each. This allows other area farms to get a one year old machine for their operation. Then a year or so later another area farm will then get that combine or tractor. As a result most of the farms in region are running fairly new equipment.
Thanks for the reply, I see there is a bigger picture in the story, that is awesome that it forms a network of operations and money flow and keep a lot of businesses in business.
@@bigtractorpower Would these guys just have a revolving line of credit for acquiring this stuff each year? Make one big payment a month and get what they need? Might make sense really, they probably only end up paying for what they use of the equipment. Trade in should still be pretty good as the machines aren't that old. Or do they lease?
I don't notice any fertilizer being applied for the soybeans at this time. Does the farmer spread some fertilizer post planting or do they not have to fertilizer the beans? I know they will have to spray a herbicide or pesticide later, maybe add fertilizer then?
+Stephen Looney everyone does several jobs through out the year. A friend of mine who works there runs one of the three R4045 sprayers, a 9620R for NH3 application, a 9420R with a 24 row corn planter, an S690 in wheat, corn and soybeans, a 9420R to disk ahead of wheat drilling and a 9420R with a v-ripper for tillage. He also mows the farms hay with a 7210R and 946 mo co and rounds bale as well
Why don't they run 3 John Deere's what's the deal with the one tracked unit, and why not a Deere 2 track ? Thanks for the videos man you do a great job and are very informative on all this western Kentucky farming. Love the channel and your videos. Ps sometimes me and my dad say did you see Jason last night and what he had to say like we know you.Thanks again
+Sam'schannel088 Thank you for watching. The farmer really likes the Challenger MT800 series. The farm has had one tracked tractor since 2001. They have some wet fields that the tracked model tackles. The farm has a 9620T in 2003 but did not like the ride and switched to a Challenger and has run an MT800 ever since. The farm has the MT875E, three 9620Rs and four 9420Rs.
@@bigtractorpower BTP I have a question. During hectic times, say during harvest when they're trying to get everything in and get the double crop planted too. What kinds of hours do you see these guys typically do? They probably run late, but do they ever switch out operators and run right through the night? Maybe the planters to keep up with the harvested acres?
A very interesting video! Especially for some one from Europe. What happens when its wet? Or does that never happen during wheat harvest in your part of the world?
so what youre saying is, these tractors only get used twice a year? then they are traded in for the next model year? how is that "saving money on repairs and break downs" ? i guess i dont understand the devaluation vs expected life / maintainence
These tractors are used several times. March to apply NH3 fertilizer June seed soybeans September disk corn stalks October seed soybeans November sub soil ground Each 9620R will cover 13,383 acres in one year.
+Dan Van Hoose they use GPS and electronic shutoffs. As the drills meet in the middle of the field seed only goes where the ground has not been planted where seed has been placed the drill just passes over with out adding seed.
Great video. QUESTION: You mentioned affordability of big equipment by the farmer, but I thought many big fields were handled by traveling services using their own equipment & operators on a contractual basis with the farmer. Can you explain? Thank you.
+Jack Sak here in Kentucky farms own their own equipment and do not use custom cutters. Out west in the wheat custom crews are very common for harvesting.
Can someone explain to me why in US most farmers run tractors with double or triple tires. Here in Europe very few people are doing that, even on powerful tractors people still run stock tires. Anyway fantastic video as usual!
What's the idea of running 8 John Deere combines and 6 John Deere 4wd tractors and then having a random Challenger? Doesn't really seem to make sense to carry Agco parts for one machine when you already have 14 John Deeres!
+Colin Schenk the farmer really likes the Challenger. Since 2001 they have always had one tracked tractor to handle wetter fields. In the fall of 2000 they demoed a Quadtrac 9380 and ordered an STX440 Quad, in 2003 the Quad was traded for a 9620T, they did not like the ride the 9620T gave and in 2005 went to an MT865, in 2007 they traded to an MT875B, in 2009 they went to an MT875C, traded to another MT875C in 2011, traded again to an MT875C in 2013, another MT875C in 2015 and to the MT875E in 2017. The track tractor has stayed two years where the wheeled models trade out every two years. They really like the speed, ride and traction Challenger offers.
+bullseye lawn care there are allot of 15 inch beans in WKY. A few farms like 30 inch. With these Horsch seeders you are getting two rows side by side with a 30 inch space between. You can see the pattern in the wheat stubble that was seeded by the Horsch drills. BTP will have a video of the double crop beans being sprayed on this farm and it will better show the ribbon seeding.
Thanks for the video. Several questions about whether the equipment is leased or owned. Please provide an answer to that question please. Thanks for the videos.
So do they trade the combines every year or sell it and buy new right from the dealer? 1400 acres for a season is not all that much for a combine this size, although they obviously need the speed! Great video.
+jazko they trade 6 combines each year. Then keep two back from last year to run 8 in wheat. Remember the farm also cuts beans and corn with 6 of Combines. So each of the six cuts 1,800 aces of beans and over 2,500 acres of corn.
Unfortunately 60ft is as big of a seeder that can move on roads in Kentucky. One farm I film at has a 60 ft and a 50ft because some the roads going to their fields will fit a 50ft but not the 60ft.
What ever happened to letting the land rest after a crop has been harvested ? My Father always said you can't rape the ground as one day it will come back to haunt you.
+One Off No Till farming was invented here in Western Kentucky back in 1962. Farms have been planting double crop soybeans after wheat ever since. The wheat straw builds organic matter in the soil and the beans use fertilizer left over from the wheat. The wheat is cut in June and the beans in October. The field rests from November to early March.
Because the wheat field becomes a soybean field. If you have a 100 acre field of wheat in Western Kentucky that crop is harvested in June and soybeans are planted right into the wheat stubble behind the combine. The soybeans are harvested in October. So your 100 acre field produces 200 acres of crops in a 5 moth period.

As a past farmer living in California, I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for filming them !
I enjoy looking back at the older videos of Garnett Farms, thanks Jason
😁👍👍. They have been featured 11 years and running. I started taking pictures at their farm in 2000 and filming in 2010.
One of , if not the most informative and well shot farming vids on youtube . Thank you
+Maryland Mike thank you for watching and your compliment.

Washington county. Over on the other side from Watertown near the VT border
Nice set up there! Not gonna see Challengers anymore in Europe, they're all going to be Fendt branded as of November
I bet the workers love theyr job at this farm, since they are running new equipement every year
+VvlDino plays the operators include family members of the farm and many long time employees. Everyone seems to like working on the farm.
I can't even imagine their cash flow. It has to be amazing.
Here in Northern Idaho it is so hilly we struggle to pull our 45 ft John Deere air drill with no cart with a 450 horsepower JD9520.
Nice video , impressive machines and interesting insights ; THUMPS UP!!!! Greets from germany
+Landtechnik MV thank you for watching.
We have so many gravel roads crisscrossing the countryside, most of the biggest fields I was ever around NW Iowa were 640 acres or 1 square mile.
640 is good sized.
Really like the technical detail you go into, thanks for that. Id really to hear more about yields, if that's not too much of a trade secret..

Are they using the 9620Rs with triples on chisel plows as well during other seasons? If so, they make a whole lot of sense.
Awesome video!!
How do they aquire the land? Farmers here in nebraska are paying crazy prices for rent and outright buying it.

How long does it take to fill up soybeans in a air drill?
5 to 10 minutes. They often check shanks while filling and make replacements at that time.

When do they start using the air Drills ?
They use the air drills in June to plant soybeans in the wheat stubble and in October to sow winter wheat.
What do they use as fertilizers between each crop?
How much do the combines cost and the tractors that's alot of $
are the tractors and combines leased or owned?
