Located in south central North Dakota. We grow variety crops (barley, rye, durum, wheat, oats, corn, soybeans, flaxeed) and run simmental/angus/saler mixed cattle herd. Always looking for ways to improve the operation and what I can do to improve the soil I farm.
Nothing flashy, but I continue to grow this business as being part of the 4th Generation of this farm. My name is Brooks, and I hope you can learn something and maybe I can learn something from you.

Borrowing a 36ft premier 1900 in a couple days to knock down my oats. It has a bat reel unfortunately. I’d love one with a pick up reel
Nice to have those bins up. Long term investment.
👍
Humidity and grain crops can make them tough. Hopefully you get some less humidity. Once harvest is over you'll find the missing panels for the bin. Always seems to work out that way.
Humidity is doing us in here too. Taking a long time to dry stuff down. Nice today though, hopefully build a couple hundred bales of greenfeed tomorrow and cut the last 20 acres since the discbine parts finally came in.
Relying on other people or companies is a nightmare and all it take is a simple glitch to screw everything up
👍
My gosh 3 inches is a lot but 6 inches is something else. A lot of hopping around fields for you. Hopefully your bin gets moved so you can move on with harvest.
Keeps showering every couple days here. Frustrating trying to get at harvest. Gets almost ready then it showers or rains. Raked greenfeed this afternoon, now it’s giving me a real light shower. No baling tonight I guess. 🤷♂️👍🍻
Beautiful wheat, moving fast across the field. Back window covered is always a good feeling. I like combining swathes much better than straight cut. Less to watch. Congrats on the nice yields.
What’s the spread on the organic stuff? Must be a few bucks. I heard guys up here can get $20+ per bushel. Regular wheat is around 6.50
Hoping for at least $20 for the organic, but probably not gonna happen this year... Will have to sit on it. Might get it cleaned next year. Wheat is abysmal price right now for conventional here. Hauled a couple loads in. Futures did hit $5, but after basis, moisture dock, low protein, it would have been $3.90. going to sit on it a little longer before soybeans start... There might be a need for decent wheat after all this moisture in the area.
Change the sensitivity of the stone trap. This should solve your problem
I did lower it... but I don't want it to miss an actual rock either.
I seem to recall the false rock alarms in one of your other years combine videos. Probably better if it's too sensitive than not. Good luck on harvest.
Yea i do usually reduce the sensitivity a little when picking up crops... But rather false alarms than an actual rock
Nice looking wheat crop! Thanks for the video, Books!
That header is so giant compared to my 12 footer…yours seems very relaxing to operate. Nice load on that spreader…fertilizing the way farms should…livestock to fields and back again. Like that loader too.
When the crop is more consistent and drier soil it's not too bad... but some short crop with soft dirt makes it a little challenging with a lot to watch. Running the haybine is like eating cake compared to this.
It should make a big difference in next year's production
👍
The title sounds like a shitty job 😂
Who knew a shitty job was actually a good job 😅
Spreading political promises, well the good king at least. LOL
Who knew there was such a thing 😂
Guys up here sink their ATVs for fun on the trails. That’s why you always question how it was used if you’re looking to buy a used one🙄. Not for me…. Those are nice beans and alfalfa. Funny what rain can do…
I know there's mods to make them better for submersions, basically higher intakes and breather lines... but I wonder about the engine itself all that heating and cooling can't be good on it.
Second cut looks good. Your ATV should be fine. If the seals don't leak water should stay out but changing oils won't hurt either.
Yea they might be fine, but I have to teach myself a lesson somehow... so changing the fluids will happen 😅
We float our quads across muskeg and rivers. Buried halfway up the seat lots of times. Usually fine. 🤣👍🍻
It probably is fine, but I have to teach myself a lesson somehow so going to change the diff fluids 😅 I floated the old 500 Magnum after it rolled down into a ditch full of water... jumped on it and floored it. Water was well past the steps but somehow it managed to motorboat around.
Rain has been holding up our haying a bit lately, but all of first cut is in swaths, hopefully in bales on the weekend on this last 200 acres. Just started laying down greenfeed oats today.
Can these mowers be purchased new. The head looks much the same as a new Holland and they were a dirty heap of shit
How wide is that mower?
18'
Why is laying the hay flat important?
Would u be able to make a video of switching to swather from haybine head on your sp. just bought mine. Honey b is still on its transport. Lol
@@wallyyuriy8912 if I think of it I can. If I forget I can go over it and visually show what to do. Kind of a PIA compared to the haybine and the macdon

I'm not a big fan of the heat and humidity. It was the same here when it was hot there was no breeze. You will certainly end up with a good amount of bales this year.
Yep, I’m not a big fan of weird noises either when cutting. That roller would wear on my nerves too.
A sudden noise thinking that something is falling apart.
Since 2017 we have had to go to a second pass of residual roughly 20 days after your first pass of pre-emergence. Some guys have gone to a third pass I am going to move towards Rye Carlson's organic soybean method instead of buying more chemical
Usually the 15" rows canopy quick enough where 1 pre and 1 in-crop is all it needs, same with the 20" corn. I'm almost contemplating solid-seeding at 7.5", some do that around here but think it requires a higher pop count to get it consistent enough and could cost yield due to competition if a dry year. Corn I wouldn't mind broadcasting something before it gets too tall after in-crop spraying, that or if knowing what fields plant rye or broadcast clover the year prior after in-crop spraying. Soybeans I get a little concerned if too much material it might be a bugger harvest time comes around, plus with having tighter rows it has both good and bad. With 15" rows it's difficult to drive in the beans without knocking down 1 or 2 rows... I like his idea of mustard with his organic soybeans to help canopy... even during harvest should be easy to clean the seed out. Sometimes have volunteer mustard in the organic fields here... an actual weed I don't mind
I dont know squats about beans but the organic wheat and the corn look good...we really need a good rain up here it would be too late for my barley but it would definitely help my oats, hay and pasture
Beans are hardy when it comes to dry weather... but during the podding stages is when it's really important for moisture. Guys say rains in August can make a soybean crop. Only thing with the organic wheat and moisture at this stage is weed pressure can get worse.
Yall must get a lot better service on the ag side of Vermeer than us utility contractors do, and the parts pricing has to be more reasonable. They refuse to sell me a service manual for a cable plow built in 1994. Strange bunch that Vermeer.
@@timblack33 I know nothing of the utility side of Vermeer... as for ag service it has been pretty good. Not as good as it was 10 years ago but still quick replies.
👍
Hello! Wildness counterattacks...
From what I recall, dicamba or glyphosate cannot be sprayed after R2 stage. Liberty is up to R1. You might be sol this year.
Engenia and Liberty is R1 around here, but engenia is restricted to the June 30th cutoff. Glyphostate is through the R2 stage, was the final window for spraying roundup at this point. I put some micronutrients down with it as well to give the beans a boost.
I would for sure not spray Liberty. It will definitely trim up yield when blooming. Enlist is easier on beans but still hurts. Never heard of being to far along for a residual unless it’s a warrant ultra or prefix type product with fomesafen in it. For little to no crop response I would look at Zidua or warrant. If lack of rainfall is a concern I would turn to warrant hands down.
I'll have to look into Zidua and Warrant... wondering what carryover there is with them. These beans don't have the Enlist trait so it's off the table, been sticking with the Xtendflex.
We bought a Vermeer v-rake last winter. Really liking it. Haven’t had any belt issues on my 605n yet, got about 4000 bales on it now. But a couple thousand bales to build yet this year, so there’s time. 🤣👍🍻
Also pretty sure your dry spell will end in a couple hours 😂😂
Raked hay. Always find a gremlin in the windrow
Only issues we’ve had with Vermeer lacing is when we sucked up a tree branch laying in the windrow it popped the lacing and rolled a belt like that
Looked as though you barely got dirty changing the belt😅.
@@pc5569 just a little
Love when you use the sickle mower, does such a nice job. Thanks for the video.
Brooks - your new Vermeer baler has Continental baler belts installed on it from the factory. Your last balers had belts from WCCO installed on them. Not suggesting anything, just saying….
Were the SuperM's exclusively WCCO? I don't remember what brand was stamped on them because I never looked... I don't remember when your team was out here at the farm if they mentioned if our M baler at the time was.
@@farming4g - I believe that your belts got swapped to WCCO ones from the OEM ones. Now Conti and WCCO are one entity, but the OEM belts for Vermeer aren’t being made in Wahpeton, only the aftermarket ones are.
👍
I'll trade with u here in west Tennessee we have fire ants
Nah, you can keep those things 🤣
That gopher stuff sure sucks. We get the odd ant hill in some old hayfields, but nothing like those mounds. We got a 3” thunderstorm with bad wind last night that wasn’t called for. Laid down some of my oats in one field. 30 acres out of 100. Guess we’ll greenfeed that one so the discbine can suck them up off the ground.
