Sorry folks, no mud here. The rain went on a vacation this fall and it was wonderful. Beans were dry, the soil was dry, all was dry; nothing more delightful. Other than the fan belts and a bearing needing fixed since the end of last season, the combine repairs were minimal. In season fixing has been limited to a connector link for the unload auger chain. I'm telling ya, dryness make everything better. Which, I want some insight on the tip of the wet kernel staying on the cob and how that plays into yield loss.
Jacob, it's all about the numbers. And with the very tight margins we have in farming today, you have to squeeze every penny you can get. The inputs are so high and yields unpredictable we have to control as many factors that are within our ability. If you have to combine beans later into the night to pick up moisture, that's what we do. You're giving the elevator money when you ship them beans below 13%.
I always enjoy your planting/harvest videos Jake. Old school are always the best.
Beans ,Beans, the magical fruit.
It was a nice dry 6 weeks or so. Here's to a great new year.
your farm is really cool with all the old equipment
I solved a similar problem with the chopper by raising the pan under the rear beater at the back of the rotors up one hole. That way everything got thrown to the chopper. Looks like part of your discharge is falling out before it gets to the chopper.
Nice combining Jacob have a great day.
This combine is turning out to be a good purchase.
Good looking beans! l love that bean dust! The feel and smell of money!😃
Enjoying these videos 🙂
Me to. Very nice to see and follow the operations
You should make your own extensions for your combine
Looking good jacob and brennin
I for one would love to see more of your vegetable production.
Mulch layer, transplanting procedure, propagation and so on.
P.s. keep up the good work!
Great awesome video Jacob
The gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for the videos Happy new year 🎉
Love it
Nice, we had bean harvest in October 15th to the 21st
Good video.
That spread pattern would work nicely for what we do. Rake 2 passes together and round bale it for cattle roughage and bedding, the manure gets it back to the field.
We have a 2x12 on the shallow side of our smaller gravity boxes. That makes us unload on the door side of the wagon (You must have edited out the first dump that ran out on the ground?) and cures the distance problem without over-filling the heavy side of the wagon.
Very nice video
You're doing fine with the stalks--it's that coupling with the bolts flailing around that cringes me, and I don't cringe much....
Good stuff
Tilt the chopper up to get a better spread, should help
Good gob
Jacob one of these days you’ll have to get a drone.
How many bushels are the wagons? And what's the bushel capacity of the combine?
So, I've been catching up on your entire channel and am curious. Who is Brennan? Who was, and what happened to Brad? Brennan seems like a decent guy with a good head. He definitely tries hard. Nick seemed to be an interesting touch of entertainment but less than beneficial to the operation.
Great videos as always. Hope that new camera keeps working. Looking forward to more Boehm Farm action!
Brad is driving semi now. Brennan, I met from CZcams. He knows how to many things.
Nick just showed up.
@Boehm Farm Thanks for the catch up.
What happened to Nick?
There will be a video eventually. You're not going to believe it.
I've been away for a while. How is Brad and where is he these days?
Brad is driving truck
Why so dry on the beans?? I guess yall were tied up with silage and that load of corn for the cows... and I guess that was a little on the late side (silage looked pretty dry for the leaves and stuff, even if the stalks were still green) so I guess something else was keeping you busy when the silage could have come off earlier. I know how it goes...
Thing is you're losing money hauling beans that dry to town... losing water weight that you could be selling across the scale at 13% moisture beans... We didn't have a bin or dryer, not many down in our area of Texas did actually, but we didn't like to cut grain sorghum until it was at about 14%-- I don't like getting docked for moisture to pay for them to burn dryer gas at the elevator, either. Guys start a little wetter with corn, around 21% because if you wait til it's 15% it'll be too dry by the time you're done, and aflatoxin can start infecting it at about 18% moisture IIRC so I been told. Rather pay a little for dryer gas at the elevator than lose big time on aflatoxin infection! Grain sorghum doesn't get aflatoxin which is one nice thing about it in our part of the world. 4/5 the price of corn though. Soybeans I'd aim for 13% though out of the field... no sense hauling them dryer beans and losing money, no sense in hauling in wetter and getting docked for moisture...
Course for us in our part of the world on the Upper Texas Coast, corn starts around the first week of July, grain sorghum harvest around the middle of July, and soybeans around Labor Day for the mid group 4's... our area is typically a group 10-12 but then those get planted in June in the heat and come off in November in the rainy season, no bueno, so an extension guy came up with a means of growing mid group 4 beans on the coastal plains so long as you plant them AFTER you get 12 hours and 20 minutes of daylight length in the spring... which is the end of April or beginning of May IIRC... before the rain quits and it gets hot for the summer in June typically...
Later! OL J R :)
I was wondering if you have set chopper to high speed for beans? And adjust feeder drum for direct cut crops ? We ran a tr for many years before we got the cr .
👍👏👏👏
were did Nick go, never see him anymore in your video s
Lol, I'll make a video eventually, but he's been getting himself into some real trouble.
@@boehmfarm4276 oh oh naughty Nick :)
Is That big Ford parked there from planting or what
Hope we see it cruising soon …
Question, do you ever round bale the bean straw?
We did that once. Thought about it this fall, but always a scramble.
@@boehmfarm4276 depending on organic matter in the soil, could lead to a good bussiness venture. But only so many hours in the day.
Hey Jacob, i have dual spinners on my TR75, not sure if they will fit your 86 but if you are interested in them let me know.
Definitely interested. I need to see if they'll fit.
I don't understand people that harvest at high moisture, unless it's going to a feedlot for cow feed. Did you sell the grain truck?
Yes, didn't use it enough. And I bought a 300 bushel box to put on the flatbed if needed.
What do you consider high moisture?
@@jaredmoorman1300 anything over 15. But traditionally here they harvest high moisture for grinding between 20 and 30
@@koryleague8833 we couldn’t wait til it was 15… to many acres to get over. Corn that dry shells bad at the head so there is also more field loss. Also look up studies on phantom yield loss… we start when moisture is it the mid to low 20s here
@@jaredmoorman1300 never had a problem with that much head loss. Besides most elevators dock it to 15 so when give the elevator free grain
🇨🇦
You run a 20 foot bean head?
Yep
@@boehmfarm4276 oh ok 👍
Where’s Nic been?
That'll be a fun video eventually. You're not going to believe it.
