    Summer Schedule
    Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday 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.

    Amazing what farmers are doing to get higher yields. And to think many feel that we need to go with what is call organic or sustainable. Corn like that will be taking in 5 to 7 lbs of nitrogen per day. Not to mention a lb of Sulfur. If you get behind it is too late.

  • @tedb.5707
    @tedb.5707 Před 4 lety +1

    When the corn is that tall, the sprayer road wheels must be tough on the end-rows in the headlands. Soybeans you can sot-of float across but 5-ft corn stalks must take some casualties. Minor field damage in the headlands offset by better yields in the rest of the field is always part of the cost-benefit judgment.

    Those Hagie's sure are nice machines... always been a fan of the front boom design-- SO much easier to see what you're doing and keep an eye on things, maneuver around obstacles, etc. Sure does a nice job with those Y-drops as well. Later and KUTGW! OL J R :)

      Shoot a video down there and post it... it's not hard to do! Even without editing skills, just record some videos on your phone or camera-- most will connect via wi-fi to CZcams for uploading quite easily!
      We went to Stratica a few years ago... it's a huge underground salt mine in Hutchinson, Kansas, about 660 feet underground in a 300 million year old salt bed hundreds of feet thick that used to be the salt-encrusted shoreline of an ancient shallow inland sea, when all the continents were locked together into the supercontinent of Pangaea. They've been room mining salt out of there for over 100 years, have over 100 miles of tunnels down there. I have a block of salt I picked up about a foot across-- they said if we could carry it we could keep it, so I carried it out with me. Amazing to think that thing didn't see the light of day for 300 million years until just a couple years ago!
      Later! OL J R :)

    If your in to this and already see the benefits look into the topcon crop spec sensors they give you real time variable rate by looking at the crop and adjusting the output to what the corn needs they can be run night or day they will take your n. app to a hole new level and you can see where your good spots and bad spots are and they tend to even the field out so your yield is more constant through out the field.

    How much of a yield increase have you seen with using the the y drops.

    • @andytuck13
      @andytuck13 Před 4 lety +1

      Ron B. Each year we adjust multiple factors as we work on increasing profitability. The yield boost varies due to multiple factors, but we tend to really increase yield on the lowest performing soils that have less nutrient holding capabilities.

  • @easttnscott7629
    @easttnscott7629 Před 4 lety +1

    Is y drops better than a nitrogen bar for the sprayer or just different?I saw Cole the cornstar using one the other day.

    • @andytuck13
      @andytuck13 Před 4 lety +1

      EastTN Scott y drops get the nitrogen to the root zone faster and more efficiently than coulter bars. Putting the N at the base of the plant utilizes morning dew to funnel the water and nitrogen into the root zone even if you don’t get a rain soon after application

      @lukestrawwalker Před 3 lety

      Probably... he didn't say it had the individual row shutoffs like the other sprayer they were using earlier in the season, and dribbling a little nitrogen fertilizer wouldn't hurt anything anyway, in fact it would stimulate the grass growth in the waterway to do a better job and grow more grass in there for hay later on... unlike when they were spraying herbicide which could kill the grass in the waterway, which is why the individual nozzle shutoffs are so handy-- keep the irregular waterway boundaries intact and growing grass!

      Bradley Choquette Travis got liquid potash on at V6 with the cultivator. There are many options other than KTS that are more economical or better forms of K.

      @bradchoq Před 4 lety +1

      @@andytuck13 That's very interesting... IN our neck of the woods, weren't getting our N levels to rise fertigating using Thio, but switching to KTS improved our K levels to a point that the plant would uptake N... Nebraska soils are not as weather as WI, and have cattle manure in the program; so overall, our K levels are really good till you start pushing above 280 bushels per acre. Thanks for the reply.

So you use the GPS as a guide to line yourself up with your rows by watching the screen and picking the closest set of rows to the line on the screen and then steering your way through them.
