Crazy Farmers, Wet Fields, and Chaos | A Normal Day On The Farm

I hope you guys like the longer video, I had a lot of clips this week. This was a very normal weekend regarding the run-around and craziness for spring time. This weekend has been chaotic at Cornstar Farms. I had to start out the video with Daddy Cornstar, as he had a few fun words to give. We quickly jump to daily maintenance on the sprayer and planter. Cooper and Dad checked over the sprayer to make sure nothing was broken and everything was greased. Cooper went to start spraying 32% nitrogen, while Dad stayed in the heated shop went over the White 6180 planter. I finally got home from school so I went right to work.

While Dad was changing the cabin filter on the John Deere 4840, I went out to check the soil moisture in the field surrounding my house. It was just a bit too wet to run yet. I went back in the shop and helped Dad clean out the row cleaners on the planter. We had a bunch of run-around plans and ultimately decided to bring the planter over to the main farm and switched varieties that were in the planter. While Dad was driving the planter over to the main farm, I brought gasoline over to Cooper who was putting on 32% nitrogen. The transfer pump on the sprayer trailer ran out of gas. Cooper filled the Hagie STS10 and went back to applying nitrogen.

Dad and I stopped at a field we would have liked to planted in, but it was just too wet. We then checked out another farm which was dry enough so we were ready to start planting. We quickly drove over to the main farm, transferred corn on corn ground seed out of the planter and put in corn on bean ground seed.I ran over to a local cemetery and covered a cremation and then grabbed lunch on the way home in the mean time. After lunch Dad started planting corn.

Upon unhooking the seed tender, I noticed the ridge cap in the big machine shed was leaking. We will have to replace that this summer. Cooper brought the 32% tanks home at this time and filled the semi while Dalton and I loaded the Bobcat T190 skidloader and went to cover a full sized grave. While we were out and about, we stopped by my Grandfather's grave and touched it up. We touched up a few other graves that had settled at that cemetery as well.

You then get to jump to Dad in the planter that is running in no-till bean ground. He talks a little bit about the autosteer as well. He needed diesel fuel too so I loaded a tank and ran that over to him. I almost got stuck in a spot in the grass in the field.

Once I filled Dad, I ran back over to the main farm and loaded 16 bags of Champion Seed. The two varieties were 61A19 and 58A18. I loaded them and ran those over to him. I rode around with Dad for the rest of the evening and we had a few small slowdowns which we quickly resolved. We ended up getting done at 12:30 am. I slept good this night.

The next morning, Cooper checked over the filters on the sprayer and he went back to spraying 32% nitrogen. I ran down to check soil moisture again and it was on the damp side, but by the time I got going, it would be able to run. The air conditioning in the John Deere 4840 was not working right so we had a mechanic come down to charge it for us.

Dad brought the planter over to the main farm, we filled it, and he went on his way. I explain the Reel Disk and check the fluids on the Massey Ferguson 4880 and had to put some antifreeze in it and fill it with diesel fuel. I never even left the farm because Dad called for help and so did Cooper. I ended up switching spots with Cooper and got rained out later in the afternoon. I powerwashed the sprayer once the rain lightened up a little bit.
