Impressive how the grain cart at the beginning is being loaded while going across the end and follows the turns. Not like just going straight across the field. I could retire quite comfortably on the money represented by the equipment in that field. Thanks for sharing the video.

Think of the daily diesel requirements. A few years ago, Progressive Farmer magazine did an article on a huge Kentucky based grain operation. I don’t remember if the farm was this one featured, but 5000 gallons per day is a number that has stuck with me.

Did they mention if they irrigate the corn? I heard mention of installing drainage tiles.
All about the equipment. I can't see pop handing out hoes and having the kids manually chop weed.
Speaking of weeds what is going on with Roundup? Getting harder to find in the stores. I see a lot of
join the Roundup lawsuit ads on TV.

I bet many of us would be happy to live on the crop loss they left on the ground.

Just to make sure everyone know, these Deere combines are considered a "Class 9" size. Claas/Cat's biggest machine is a "Class 11" in size. So, Deere isn't or hasn't ever been the largest size combines in the world.

The companies that make the chemicals can't get the ingredients to make them.

How long did it take Deere to make a rotary? Since they finally offered one you cant get a conventional for corn or beans. What does that tell you? Nothing smells like a John.

If he keeps it full and never has to stop to unload, you're looking at 5,000+ BPH.

I always find it interesting that people talk about how green the fields are after we combine. But a 1% loss in 200 bu corn is 2 bu/acre. That’s 3 time what is planted

Yep, there you go using common sense and reasoning again! I just realized my math mistake. 6 times what is planted. 1/3 bu per acre at planting time

Let this sink in a moment. 27 row 20 inch corn head. 45 foot wide on a Claas combine.
