Jan by reading some of these comments you are doing something real exotic...... Swathing small grains is real common in Canada and Northern US. Helps crop dry faster as the case is here with a crop that is uneven ripe. Also helps if you have weed crops (kind of a thing of the past with herbicides). Helps beat the weather. He can combine in few days behind a swather where this crop maybe week or 2 away from straight cut with combine. Hard to believe with all the information on the internet that so many people are surprised and unfamiliar with this operation. So we all say Thanks Jan for the education!!!!!!!!!

You definitely seen how much you enjoyed driving the swather. It's amazing the farm equipment you use to keep your farm running. Know I know why your milk cows are great quality
Great drone shots and camera work Jan. That swather is some yoke and covers some ground in a short time. Great video Jan thanks for sharing it with us. We just combine ours and you are spot on when the heads are over rip they fall off.
huge how big you think Saskatchewan is lol they finish the days work before the coffee is ready lol lol they read the daily paper in the same place lol i have to get dressed and go outside to use the washroom lol building a new house lol why i have to do this lol have stepped away from the duty of farming here all i care about is the hay i have is put up lol the first 2 cutting are done does make fair silage
Barley stand looks great. Your videos always answer my questions! As usual the camera angels and drone shots were fantastic. Thanks for taking us swathing.
Really interesting. Didn't make sense to me to swath grain and let it dry - I always frared there would be too much loss when the plants lay on the ground. Now I know better. Thanks for these insights. Greetings from germany ✌🏻

Great Swather, great video, and good agronomic and technical details explained by you Jan 👌👍🚜 Credits to you and your teachers. Curious, where you've been trained, went to school or got your (agricultural) education?
For a young guy Jan your really knowledgeable about the farming business, when your Mom and Dad retire they can rest assured the farm will be in good hands between yourself and your sisters. God Bless
Your field is one and a half times the size of our farm of one hundred acres. Field?? That is one huge swather.The barley looks beautiful, perfect timing. Good vid SDK. Peace.

Law of averages. Average Dryland Barley is anywhere from 50-70 bushel/acre yield targets. So let’s say he loses 6 bushels at 48lb bushel weight, that’s almost 300 lbs an acre at about $235 a tonne (just over 10 cents a pound) so if his cost are less than that ($30 an acre) he breaks even anyway. Costs always vary, but with newer equipment like that would average about $15 an acre (equipment costs, fuel, labour etc.) , so has the potential to save/make $15+ an acre vs potential loss. But, some years it works out higher cost or lower savings. Rough numbers above mind you.

Thanks for the great vid on swathing, hope you can get the bearing mech fixed. I understand the direction of plant vs swath/bale - wouldn't it be better to plant in the short direction, then you would do the swathing and baling in the long direction? I'm thinking the planting is probably most difficult, so it may be better to plant in the long dir, just thinking.....
Good explanation on the commentary concerning the reasoning behind the swathing. Do you still lose seed while it is on the ground drying? Are you spraying the Canadian Thistle end row of the field this year? Bedankt voor de les.
If the grass is tall enough. The cutting blades can go down within about 2" from the ground, but it doesn't work good for cutting short grass. The plant has to be tall enough to have some height and weight so that it falls back onto the draper, else the clippings just build up on the knife/guards and then plugs up the knives and then it won't cut anything. My family (until we sold the farm) had the same machine that we used for cutting hay, which is a mixture of several grasses.

Does the cost of passing a second time on the field plus the added hours on the swather get justified by the potential yield loss?
Law of averages. Average Dryland Barley is anywhere from 50-70 bushel/acre yield targets. So let’s say he loses 6 bushels at 48lb bushel weight, that’s almost 300 lbs an acre at about $235 a tonne (just over 10 cents a pound) so if his cost are less than that ($30 an acre) he breaks even anyway.
Costs always vary, but with newer equipment like that would average about $15 an acre (equipment costs, fuel, labour etc.) , so has the potential to save/make $15+ an acre vs potential loss. But, some years it works out higher cost or lower savings. Rough numbers above mind you.
Also you don’t have to run your pickup in the dirt to get the swath
@@davidzeinstra5053 thanks I am a farmer myself but have no idea about dairy or small grains
@@davidzeinstra5053 New Zealander cropping farmers Warren Darling broke a 25-year-old world record for the highest yielding barley, growing 13.8 tonnes a hectare on their Kiwi Timaru farm...He says there was “no secret recipe” in the agronomy package but he does believe variety, low seed rate, and min-till cultivation were key

Great information you share. Thanks for your time.
Another great vidi, Jan.
Thanks for the great vid on swathing, hope you can get the bearing mech fixed. I understand the direction of plant vs swath/bale - wouldn't it be better to plant in the short direction, then you would do the swathing and baling in the long direction? I'm thinking the planting is probably most difficult, so it may be better to plant in the long dir, just thinking.....
The air seeder is a lot more awkward to turn than the swather and the combine.
Swather then combine. You won’t have a great loss with the combine going with the drilling rows. Two lots of expense for one large field.
Safety first Jan shut engine off then proceed with everything.
I was wondering about that myself. Being a city person, I don't know but seems like engine off would be the safest.
@TowwerN3 not true brake can go off at any time...had that happen with a manure spreader...always shut engine down
and wear gloves
TowwerN3 i disagree with you cause it does happen and lives have been lost,I’ve seen end results when equipment does fail and pto”s engage.
Dude Man please explain your comment.
We had to swath our barley because we had volunteer sunflowers in our barley field
Can you do a video of where all the water and all that comes from and all that stuff
Great vids man. There always so good
Loved being able to see the swather work from above. What are the combine peas used for? What is the difference between a swather and a mower?
A swather takes its swath (area that it cuts) and forms it into the narrower windrow for drying. That’s why swathers are also called windrowers.
Great video again 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
nice video jan!!!!
7:40 thanks I was wondering that👍👍✌️
Thank you for sharing. This was interesting.
*You still ROCK*
Thank GOD damn JUNO wasn't in this one lol..
what kind of header goes on the combine to pick up the swath? Is is like a pick up head on a chopper? Never heard of swathing before combining.
similar to a chopper pick up, different design but same outcome. Its just alot gentler with the crop to not loose any grain.
Lots of comments. Barley needs to swathed. You can get it done a month sooner than straight cutting.
If you are doing lighter crops you need a cross auger (pea auger) makes doing lighter crops way easier
You new cam is really good
What barley do you grow 2 row or 6 row
Good explanation on the commentary concerning the reasoning behind the swathing. Do you still lose seed while it is on the ground drying? Are you spraying the Canadian Thistle end row of the field this year? Bedankt voor de les.
you are so good teaching about all the big machines i love this video beat TV in the USA granny89
Great drone shots Jan!
Good video.....
Makes sense to cut that way. Leaving some on the edges good for the Deer and other wildlife
Great videos I’m from Illinois and post farmin videos as well
We always seen your dad here and there in videos. We’d love to see him more often and him talking
Great fun! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
Another sweet video nice footage so clear
Hey I will be in the Area Saturday or Friday
Love the videos keep it up 👍
Thanks!!
Can you mow regular grass with one of those
If the grass is tall enough. The cutting blades can go down within about 2" from the ground, but it doesn't work good for cutting short grass. The plant has to be tall enough to have some height and weight so that it falls back onto the draper, else the clippings just build up on the knife/guards and then plugs up the knives and then it won't cut anything. My family (until we sold the farm) had the same machine that we used for cutting hay, which is a mixture of several grasses.
The barley looks pretty decent there bud
Great video but I recommend planting at a 45° angle and swath back and forth
Well done, as always Jan. Blessings.
Swather beats everything!!
I am enjoying your videos 😊
You should film your lunches.
