- Don’t let weeds steal valuable nutrients, sunlight and water from your corn crop. If you aren’t satisfied with your current herbicide program, upgrade to Acuron, a powerful and crop safe premix from Syngenta, in 2025! Tip: Pair it with a proven fungicide like Miravis Neo for yield protection from start to finish.

Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

The relationship with your dad is priceless, you are him!
thx like the detail you provide
Haha thank you!
Lots of good actual hands on real world hedging stuff in this one Andy. On the trading floor back when I was there, we had no where near the knowledge of the crop that you guys do. Even still, unless you're just down there scalping for a small intra day move, carrying large positions in any of the grains could be so stressful. I moved across the street to the CBOE for most of my career. The hedging opportunities were so much more plentiful in options trading. Still a very "hard way to make an easy living" as one old timer told me. LOL So hard, you live through tremendous ups and downs. I grew up in a house where my dad was always a grain trader, mostly beans. I witnessed first hand how tough those ups and downs were. With that much of a real world education you'd think a guy with some smarts would choose another field??? Nope not me, I loved it. Good, bad, or indifferent, it was the best job in the world. The best part for me was simple, I never knew what was going to happen that day when I walked on to the trading floor. Some days were great, others were horrendous, but it was always interesting. I have so much respect for you guys who actually own and run farms. It's kind of the same deal. Each day is a new adventure. With Ag options added many years ago, it gives you guys more avenues to hedge your crops. It's that pesky and often times insane volatility that's the tough nut to overcome at times. These days, with all the machine trading, it's gotten a lot harder for the average person to come to grips with the ever changing volatility. Best to you and the family for a bountiful harvest in 24. Thanks for sharing these "inside baseball" looks with us plebs out here. Cheers from north of you.
G’job Andy, as always. Crops looking pretty darn good hoss. I can only imagine and taste the honey in the walls of that old building. Y’all take care and keep em comin🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸
Great video good to see y'all
Much Love as Always!!!
Same to you!
If you plant on 20 inch spacing you won't have all those weeds,also you have a lot of tip back on those cobs
20 inch spacing means making changes to the planter and sprayer doesnt it? at the very least pushing the row units closer together meaning youd get less acres done per day as you arent as wide..
@@fazeobama8872 we run 8 planters so we cover a lot of ground
@fazeobama8872 we don't have to make changes to the planter we use a 54 row DB 90 and a DB 120 when we plant on 30 inch spacing
It doesn't matter what you spacing you have... without herbicide, there will be weeds. If you don't have tip back, you didn't plant your corn thick enough!
@aTrippyFarmer with 20 inch spacing you have less sunlight between the rows so you don't get as much weeds
Yield aint everything. Roi. I agree with ur marketing thinking andy. Droughts are so rare in illinois on black dirt... Especially in today's world with the tech we have
So when you say 2 pass do you split the 3 quarts per acre or how much per pass do you put down ?
It depends. I always thought splitting the 3 quarts evenly was the best practice. However, a Syngenta agronomist told me that it is actually more effective if you front load a heavier rate. Instead of 1.5 pre and 1.5 post, they think it's better to run 1.8 and 1.2 or 2 and 1. That gets you more residual down up front to keep weeds from emerging for longer.
@@aTrippyFarmer Thanks. I like your videos I'm looking forward to your harvest videos . I'd say your right on the chickens probably a fox or coyote. They'll probably be back if it was. Or your second guess of a bird of prey could be right as well.
Do you ever consider something besides mono-cropping corn and soy?
Corn, soybeans, and wheat is all we grow in central Illinois.
We grow what the market demands. That is corn and soybeans here!
if the bees are honey bees call a bee keeper and in most cases they will take them off your hands at no charge
Sell high store cheap . My wife's chicken feed isn't cheap how about yours Andy ?
Nothing about my wife's chicken has been cheap for me hahahaha
The haul of same. Sad but true lol
*Shame
you either know a LOT about these topics (Farming) or your a Master at talking a good sounding line of B.S. LOL Just kidding I know your a good B.S.er 😆. But, I truly feel like you need to treat yourself to a new rear boom on the Hagie, it's always been an embarrassment for ya and you need to pat yourself on the back once in a while :)
