aTrippyFarmer and the crew are back to bring you more farming adventures! In this episode, Andy and his family are focused on extracting a semi trailer from deep long-term storage in the corner of their shed. This trailer has not been used in ages, but the farm has increased needs for expanded logistical capabilities. This old grain trailer and semi will offer some reprieve to the John Deere Harvesting fleet in the heart of corn harvest, which is just right around the corner. After moving all of the blockages out of the way, Andy gets the trailer out and over to a good spot to be washed off. Andy proceeds to chat about the current state of the farm economy, and he comments on the recent land sales in the area. The following day Andy moves one of the corn heads to a better storage location. He then proceeds to mow roadsides for a lengthy amount of time. After that, Andy takes some ear sample moisture tests to determine how far away from harvest they are. He talks about the implications of the grain moisture and how it effects their decision making moving forward. Regardless, the John Deere fleet is almost ready to go, and harvest season is right around the corner. Thanks for watching!

Andy “aTrippyFarmer” Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth–some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold–we usually only get concerned when things aren’t going wrong!

Saw a guy picking corn Saturday in mattoon by the fields church, was just getting started about 1030 or so we were comming back from morgans meat market
Starting tomorrow 25% will be going after 27 next corn went down in a wind storm, ours isn't bad but some neighbors is horrible, getting while it's wet. Corn gets to 19 or 20 no changes in machine moisture I was always told
Ok here's maybe a stupid question, what do you do with those ears of corn that you picked? Do you throw them away, eat them, throw them in the combine when you start harvesting?
A battleship anchor chain doesn't fit through the drawbar gap so J&M doesn't include them….or you can drag them to keep static down for cleaner cart tractor windows
How much fuel are we wasting using Def? Gotta go get it . Move it. Have it shipped. Such a fucking joke. We waste more fuel messing with it. Unicorn farts is right
Guys anybody…Whats the best John Deere planter + Tillage equipment + Tractor
Are you a 24 – 7 farmer or do have other interests ? I have a feeling you don’t haha 😂
You are a owner or a worker. You sir are only a worker so cry me a River.
Waxing doesn’t make them run better.
There is no “we” you probably have no money invested in the farm operations
Andy great video. Lots of knowledge being shared. Thank you for breaking it down so a non-farmer can understand. Be safe! 👍
Stay safe out there
Need to have two chains for safety chains an have them cross under the hitch so if needed it will catch the hitch to keep it from digging in an flipping
Peace
Andy I no if my dad was still alive he would not believe the tech an equipment U guys have for farming today I really enjoy your videos U guys keep farming an I will keep watching
Thanks for the info like you video. Good luck for season.😅
I love you statistical attentions and figures.
I'm 46 and my great great grandpa farmed here on mules and steel wheel disc etc. Lived to be 98. Tough as boot leather
Do you buy or lease your new equipment?
They don't make tractors as good as that 4520 today. No computer, runs forever. Keep it for after the EMP knocks out our electronics.
Trippy, very informative vid. Keep it between the rows.🌽🚜
Looking at corn all day leads to corn fever, symptoms include cab corn and bent snouts, occasionally bent unloading augers (extreme case). The only known cure, a cold beer or twelve.
Lol! You must have your PhD in economics with your multisyllable words. My professors who had their PhD would be challenged by you lol! And yes One of them was an economics teacher lol but we won’t see you when I got in that class. Lol thank you for the videos
Could be harvesting corn now rather than November in the mud if u had a grain dryer. Also captures more yield from headshell alone. Add in the cost of ruining your soil structure, 4wd combine, tracks and all the slow down of harvest.. it's hard to not to want to pay a gas bill
when i was your age i would of liked that 4620. we used 2 john deere As and a 720 . my dad did buy a 4010 a few years later. i bought a 4630 wow cab.air and power shift. that was living. you know you have to farm a lot more ground now to make a living. prices just dont go up on grains.
If I could find land for that price I would buy it like it's free because I can't buy land for less than $80,000 per acre for not good land and for great land your talking starting a million dollars
TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK!!!L Let's see you do something. Make a video when you're on your way to the field.
Just seen your black grain cart in the field east of I 57 . Looking good out there. Hope those beans are doing ok.
Comment and like i wanna see this channel grow
Go with a Longer Hitch Pin for your Grain Cart
Poor Katy lol
Really good video
👍👍
chicken nuggets
Hey Andy. Check out Leaad farm video on the walkabout mother bin. May fit into your operation. Here in Australia they are used a lot.
