so
hey everybody my name is sam and i'm angela and welcome to our channel
the day has finally arrived the long awaited four day that we have waited for for almost
four months since we ever found our property it is today yes what is today soybean harvest
tell me what you think that is amazing that's the first time i've seen one in person
what do you think isaac
it's fun to watch in it i can't wait to play on
it like the land once it's all mowed not soybeans yeah
pretty awesome it is really awesome so it looks like his hopper is pretty full i don't know if
he's going to go over to his barn and dump it or if a truck is going to show up or what but
this is great it's very very cool to see it combine all the soybeans and honestly
what it's leaving behind looks really nice too we're afraid it's gonna be
bare dirt but it doesn't look like it so that's really really cool right bye
well as you can see there is some action going on out here on the property
uh some really good action and some soybean harvest action very good he's uh that's the
farmer he's out there running his combine through and honestly when he gets done with the pass from
what we can see from here it looks mode looks nice so enjoy the footage we'll fly the drone
around a little bit i'll try not to run it into his combine or crash it but no promises
so
uh
so
so truth be told because we like to tell the truth we are the day after the harvest as you
guys got to see it was a really awesome combine it was very cool to be out here the day that
they came out to harvest that was awesome what are your thoughts of the experience it was huge
the combine was it was so much bigger than you think it would be for us non-combineologists
and the boys absolutely loved it they got to go and see it up close before the
people started harvesting and then it was just amazing seeing this huge thing go through and
pick and sort and spit out everything that wasn't needed yeah it is really cool and we were very
very surprised and pleased to see that what is left is not a giant dust bowl we have quite
a bit of grass growing underneath the soybeans that can now grow even faster and we don't have
to worry about erosion and problems with all of that so it's very very nice that we have i mean
for all intents approaches it kind of looks like a field or a pasture a little bit it really does and
it's basically been brush hogged bush hog whatever you call it yep that it's very close and we don't
have to do anything else to it right now right it is ready to rock and roll and that is awesome
it is raining today as you can hear so talk about perfect timing at the last second
great time to get the soybeans off it was previously dry for about five six days so
that was great how the weather worked out because you can't harvest them in the rain so nope had he
been a day later he would not have been harvesting this weekend so we'll try and give you a little
bit of a tour of the i want to say field now because it's not a soybean farm anymore so
you'll be able to see how it is a mixture of some grasses and you'll see the furrows of the
chaff and the waste from the combine that's great nutrients to put back on the soil on the ground
we're not going to like go out and spread it because oh my gosh that takes forever but it's
good to have those nutrients back at least on the ground and not hauled off and stripped off
you'll also get to see the combine we'll ride over
there and see it they have it parked at the corner of our property for today
and then they're going to finish harvesting the rest of the farm which is not ours they're going
to finish it later so we don't have a problem with them parking over there so it's kind of cool
i got to make this quick because it's a little bit rainy and i don't want to ruin the camera but here
is a look at the combine that the farmer used to harvest the soybeans it is a case 8120 this
is about as much as i know it is red it is big and for scale i walk over here next to the tire
and you can see it's got sam height tires on it so monsters this thing was so cool to see harvesting
all the soybeans and it made quick work of our property i want to say start to finish maybe two
hours to do all of what we have and that even included a couple of stops and times to offload
the hopper onto the trucks there were three trucks that came and got loaded up one was a semi and the
other two were very very large farm dump truck tandem axles so quite a bit of soybeans on this
property so there's a look at the harvester wanted to show it up close and let you guys see it first
time we'd ever seen a machine like that we thought it was awesome and hopefully you guys did too
well now that the soybeans are done we can get busy with other things such as staking out where
we are going to put the house getting our septic mapped out and possibly some grading yep we can
now move forward with building our place our house and i use the term building loosely we are still
planning to move our mobile home out here but we have to build a lot of stuff in the meantime right
so if this is your cup of tea if you enjoy it if you're interested to see what it's going to take
for us to convert this field into a homestead stick around because that is what we're going
to be doing for the next little bit little bit being probably several years but hopefully we get
to move here sooner though well if you have any questions or comments please leave them below we
love to read them otherwise we'll see you guys next time on one of the homesteads see ya bye
you
