that's the difference between feeding 124 people + you and feeding 128 people + you

They cut the crap out of the hay and brome grass at my parents hobby farm thingy.

My wife went back to Kansas to drive a combine. Sent/took zero pics. :frown:
-
Friend's dad bought a 400k combine. They had it in the field 4 hours before the thing burnt up a ball bearing and started a fire. Luckily they only lost 20 acres of stubble. Phew.
-
Almost done...great wheat this year.

no wheat in sw ks....bring on the farm subsidies and insurance money! :lick:

SOCIALIST FARMERS!!!

Going great guys! in-laws farm is averaging 50-60 and one field was in the 70's! Probably about 65% done. Had a couple break downs on Thursday, but got some parts, fixed it, and back to killing it!
-
Also my father in law got interviewed by the AP and here is the quote they used in the newspaper article.
[quote/]
When asked about what kind of yields he was getting, raquetcat's father in law hesitated.
"I almost hate to say because it is so good," he replied. "I am afraid it might make the market drop."

Going to be some new trucks at the AGR house this fall.

There are combines cutting in Salina itself? Thought you said the Salina area. Combines in the city will certainly clog traffic.

Just kidding. Couldn't resist.

Armadillo population took out most of the crop, yields were a joke. Sparked as many 'dillos up with my AR15 as I could. On the 20th mag the place went up like a tender box. Put the last fire out this morning.

Christ I am rough ridin' tired. Cut till 11 on Friday, 1030 on Saturday, and 10 last night. Stayed the night and drove up this morning. 2.5 hours. Also I had a major putasso and had to run to KC yesterday to grab a circuit board for a irrigation pump controller I gave to my FIL. 5 rough ridin' hours wasted. Anyway I taught myself to use a fork lift. Also didn't see any coyotes all weekend until the very last field and I had stopped packing heat. Two dumb ass coyotes just loping around the combines and the grain cart. My SIL (driving grain cart I was riding) wouldn't have let me shoot them anyway, but still. It was way fun. I elected myself harvest morale officer and had a plentiful supply of cold beer and these kick ass brownies my mom made for everyone. Lots of radio shenanigans. Cutting wheat has a ton of opportunity for innuendo. Also, the yields were pretty damn good.

My family is blowing up my phone with hay-hauling pics now. FR_Dad customized/re-purposed some equipment and built some from scratch (K-State engineering degrees!), then sent me a pic of them using their accumulator and whatever you call the thing that picks them up and puts them on the truck and the thing that puts them in barn. He was all "You've been replaced, John Henry" as if it would hurt my pride instead of making me think "why weren't were always doing this?"
Also, FR_bro sent me a pic of FR_dad attaching some arm or something on one of the machiney thingies while they were preparing and oh man he's never looked so happy. Made me homesick.

we always did this growing up. But I think my grandpa just bought the accumulator and teeth thing for the loader tractor. The work on our farm was pretty pud, really.

Are you guys square or round bales?
One hay operation had some bales catch on fire when we were cutting wheat. :eek: Two of the guys on our crew are fireman (one city and one township) and everyone was :ohno: they'd have to leave but it got contained quickly enough I guess.
-
sddad has the one that does the jumbo sized square bales. he also has this grinder that looks like godzilla's kitchen aid mixer that chops them up for cows. it's quite the deal apparently.

Oh man FR_dad will have nothing to do with round bales. Those are for "farmers" who need something to do. Did you know some random but probably high percentage that I can't remember and may not be true of that hay goes to waste!?!
The Rexes are square balers. Prairie hay, baby. Untilled pure Kansas soil and native grasses or something. We can sell that crap like crack to those droughtery losers in texas. I don't know what FR_dad got, but he paid us 50 cents a bale just to load a semi-trailer to texas, which was twice as much as we got paid to load and barn them in the first place, once FR_dad deducted equipment costs for us using his truck (lol and hat tip to him on that looking back).
We barned an average of 10k bales a summer, because FR_grandpa always insisted we have enough for two summers (I'm assuming every Kansan family jokes about how their grandpa predicted 10 of the last 1 depressions).
One summer in high school, I had the equivalent of a wind-aided 100m and barned 8 loads/1000 bales in a day. Being at the pinnacle of both my strength and ignorance, I infamously boasted that I only needed "1,000 bales and a driver". Hence, the John Henry reference that has dogged me ever since.
-
side note: if you put me in barn today, I would die and be completely dead in around 20 minutes.

35 cents a bale minus 7 cents for using his truck. Such as boss move. Taught me well.
-

no, pretty sure he's talking about the big round bales that you can only fit like 15 on a semi trailer. He moved 1000 of those a day.

I know entirely too many people from Yates Center for not even having a clue where it is located.

No. And Chetopa is the catfish capital of the world and Cassoday is the prairie chicken capital of the world so excuse if I guffaw too loudly at this spurious Yates Center claim.

FR_dad got cocky and left to check pasture or go to the sale or whatever mysterious place farm dads went when they left you doing some shitty job during the day.
When he got back, he sent me this with the text "Not entirely foolproof". :lol:

-
I remember, from the school days, having friends come town (city kids) and having them help toss a few bales. Mixing a couple alfalfa bales in the middle of the prairie hay bales was always good for a laugh. Lol, good times.

Yeah, sometimes I feel unworthy of attending silo tech because I've lived in kansas all my life, but the only time I've ever set foot on a farm was a grade school field trip.

When did farming/cutting wheat, make someone a, "hick?"
-

just the "hick history" thing?

Remember when that hayseed came on here and said he was swindled out of some hay, and his handle was deez nutz. That guy needs to post in the harvest thread.
-
my grandpa hated the round bales for same "go to waste" reasons felix. Didn't use them until he couldn't drop hay from the back of the pick up anymore (probably around the time he was 78 or so.
-
he had one of those stacker thingy's so we just had to go around and make sure the bales were lined up for it to pick up.

That's a nice barn FR. Ours doesn't have sides. Well at least one of them doesn't. I think the others do. But on the one without sides they park the semis towards the outside so I guess isokay.

saw people cutting wheat along the interstate when I went to wichita last weekend
-
Pretty good. Surprisingly 40 - 50 bushel wheat in most fields.
-
My Dad's brome (sp?) grass is tall-to-very tall, and very green. Lush, even. So much so that we didn't even give a crap about shooting off lots of parachute and mortar fireworks around it.
I asked him when the dudes would come to cut it and he said "anytime now." There you have it.

Yeah, farmers seem pretty happy this year

when I played farmer this summer the wheat completely sucked balls

Wheat harvest out in northwest ks isnt as good, only 20-30 bushels and acre :frown:

my first year on the farm I pulled in ~75 bushels per acre but with a little bit of hard work and whole lot of luck I've doubled my BPR each and every year. #fertilizer #seed #H2O #potash

BPR?
Ihvlpcfiq (I have very low pissclams farming iq)
Gonna win 'em all!

Wheat yields of 30-40 bpa in good ol' SEK. Had only 50 acres out for seed and may not plant that if prices remain depressed. I was :Woohoo: about the one day harvest.
