moving 20 20 garbanzo beans these are chickpeas sawyer
variety we're probably going to move so see the bottom of the spin out
the other bins got sierras in it those are another variety it's all going good price too
now since the grader is over here i don't need it over here anymore but i figured you know what
let's knock off this high spot in front of these bins because it kind of was flat but it
also leaned a little bit into the bins and where the road is where we drive is actually whole so
i raked a lot of it over and then put it in that little low spot it's still low but we're planning
on getting some road mix to try to get in here so if it rains it'll pack this down and there's
a bunch of rocks that build up which is great because i gotta pick them by hand maybe that's
not so great but it is what it is but but but we're doing the greater that's all that matters
right let's take it back to the shop all right i'm back in the sprayer and take giving uh nick
a break he's uh golfing playing around the golf i'm spraying around my field and i've got my
trusty cohort here here hey kobe kobe you want to say hi uh his eyes are glued to furry friends
sort of friends that might jump out so anyway yeah we're in the process of getting our wheat covered
um great spraying weather beautiful weather it's about 65 66 degrees a light breeze
got some neighbors they're pesky that's what they are a bunch of pesky neighbors all right guys we
got to fix an oops moment we had a few years ago this bin right here has winter wheat in it we
start pulling the winter wheat out last year was the year before and uh had mold on top of the bin
when we put the grain in the bin it was a little too wet it got hot and molded just just the top of
it not a lot so what we need to do is we're going to take this vr12 we're going to run the tubing
all the way up the bin tied to the ladder and go down on top of the bin and then we're going to
get up there and throw the chunks and the mold and shovel all that crap so it sucks in the vacuum or
the grain back into a truck and we got to just get rid of it it's junk you can't do anything about it
it sucks but it is what it is but we need this bin in this bin right here to move on those hoppers
so we're gonna take care of that and uh it's an embarrassing moment for welker farms we don't
want to talk about it but you know what you guys need to know things happen you're trying to make
wise decisions you're like oh it looks good enough we could put the moisture in the bin it
won't be too bad but these don't have aeration on them and so it was a bad mix but anyways
it's gonna be interesting we've never done this before but that one's the reason why it won't work
now we're doing something a little different this bin here has that big massive gaping hole because
the door blew off of the building over here and punched a hole in it we're not gonna stick this
bin up on those hoppers because well we have to fix that hole and the bottom ring on this bin
is a very light wall ring it started to compress and collapse a little bit and the inside of the
bin they put stiffeners to try to help it well the next two bins are actually stronger bottom
rings so what we're going to do is we'll take those two rings or two pins right here and move
them over which means we need to take the weed out this one and the next one actually that's
empty yeah that was empty yeah a little bit of work a little bit of hassle we're making progress
okay so this is the bin that got the big hole as you can tell
i don't know what gave it away if you look they put angle iron pieces around the whole
bottom of the bin they're not really all the same size apparently but who cares right
this is what they call corrugation you have each one of these ridges and this is like a
2.66 i think it's what they call it it could be wrong i don't know i'm not very good at terms but
they started to collapse of all the weight of the bin and the product in here they start to
collapse and then it'll buckle the bin and the bid will fall over and bad things happen so they took
it down cleaned it all out put these snippers in because these bottom sheets were not heavy
enough when you build bins without stiffeners you always have the bottom sheets are heavier
and as you're going up it gets lighter and lighter and lighter you don't really have to have heavy
duty all the way to the top some bins they'll do heavy duty all the way to the top depending how
big the diameter of the bin is but that's the thing is how big of a bin is how tall how wide
all that stuff is a factor well when they engineered this bin whoever put together
or got the parts to put it together did not factor it very well oh this will be good enough let's use
some light stuff and we'll just put it on the top yeah that has a problem so anyways this bin
here has got a crack floor it's leaking water all the way around the bottom and gets stuff
contaminated it's kind of just a jump bin but we'll probably end up patching this hole and um
use it as a search bin if we need a little bit more storage for something small or maybe we'll
move it someday i don't know but we're not using this bin we're gonna use this bin in the next bin
or over there so fun fun well we stopped backing into the truck and there's a reason for i started
noticing it was peaking the pile in the truck and then i started noticing a few chunks oh there's
something wrong we got one truck cleaned out that was pretty good stuff but we got more mold
chunks to clean out on the back side of the bin there's a bunch of mold buildup and the reason
why it's on the backside of the bin is our sun faces this side well the sun baked the steel
dried it out but the back side of the bin well no sunlight no heat and it just kept building the
condensation and moisture and uh built up a bunch of chunks so when we cleaned out the top it looked
clean but as we sucked it down there's a bunch of build up on the back of the wall that we couldn't
tell so here's the deal we are going to shovel and scrape while he just volunteered real quickly as
much as he can of the chunks out the door we'll just pile it on the ground we'll use a skid steer
and uh get rid of it and once you get enough of it then you'll suck some down and then he'll
keep throwing out suck down until we get a lot of those chunks out it's nasty but it is what it is
oh
well hoppers are back in their temporary spot
yummy wind is howling we're gonna still drill the holes out try to get the concrete poured soon
it's gonna be really hot and uh if i go as a plan we'll get those hoppers back on here next week
and possibly the bins moved on top so making progress
check out those clouds got a thunderstorm rolling in that was not forecasted
i don't think it's going to do much but
that is cool gorgeous sunset tonight but that i just love the streaks there that is neat
huh oh hey nice truck oh boy that's a huge rock i need to get that before this crop gets too tall we
forget about it and then uh we drag it in the combine editor so uh get to that in a second
i was thinking i could manhandle one of these up in the bed of the defender here but
that's a big rock i'm not an atlas stone lifter unfortunately uh i'm not brian shaw
or randy hall so i'm gonna use something else see if we can drag this out of the field chain
okay let's see four wheel drive lock the differential get a mouthful of
seeds
all right one down let's go to number two once again i thought i could manhandle that but i'm
gonna hurt my back if i try to lift that one so let's try to do it again gonna leave little
streaks in the field but i'd rather have a streak a little bit of crop tore up then uh
1000 to 1500 cutter bar on the header broke not worth it
oh i can grab that one
all right let's see that's good let's go back what the other guys are doing i got a feeling
i'll be drilling some holes but i want to get this done while i was on my mind it's monday uh
the trucks are full of wheat from uh earlier this week so let's go take that winter wheat in dump it
and uh then we can clean out the rest of that bin and the schedule today what we got going on is uh
clean the bin out and then take the digger derrick two inch bit start punching holes clean those out
getting ready to pour some concrete um we don't know if we're gonna get concrete this week
the facility in town is pretty busy but we might be able to get concrete from
another small town nearby and get some concrete for this week but it's possible
i don't know we'll see i know that they're really busy but hopefully we get that done
now we sucked out the bottom of the bin and it looked really good it's there's no damage at
all on the bottom of the bin so we thought about it and we only have for winter wheat
seed we have a hopper over here that has 2 200 bushels that's pretty full so about 2200 bushels
of capacity of winter wheat for this fall if the conditions are right but we want to put
more in we kind of need more seed we either buy it or we keep what's on the truck we're
thinking about keeping what's on the truck and putting it in a bin for the time being so we
have it available if we need it and if we don't use it then we will pull it on the minute cell
so
now we've already marked all of the holes that we need to drill
which three bar when we have the hopper bottoms here we just got it where we wanted
found a little piece of rebar in so that way we know where we need to drill instead of trying to
measure it all out with our uh measuring tapes and all that other stuff which we did on the other one
it just takes a long time so anyways when you want to drill a hole go over
pull the rebar out put it right there just start drilling let's get this done
guys
so
all right he's done at the dogger shop and uh karen has uh did her
talent squeezing her hand back and forth a lot of times it's like this but this time it's
moving the scissors but anyway so here's what he looks like and what is all this wool
doing on the ground and the table stand up and show up here you wanna come on you want up get up
all right and so underneath that black coat is uh gray a bunch of green down this is all going to
brush out leave guard hairs yep but he's got areas of uh lighter really fluffy there's no way i would
have ever brushed this out look at this fluffy yeah and all this stuff is going to continue to
come out but at least it can come out now before it comes and i think he felt better what do you
think he's got to feel better with this heat all right you want to come off come on come on
all right another dog a cut above the rest thanks hun lisa's cooler you
