aTrippyFarmer and the crew are back to bring you more farming adventures! In this episode, Andy and his family are still looking for more dry beans. With so many fields closing in on the finish line, there is a lot of preliminary scouting to be done every morning. Andy and his dad gather enough information to properly route their John Deere combines for the day. Andy switches over the inline ripper off of the John Deere 9620R for the John Deere 2720 Disk Ripper. The team makes short work of that conversion. Shortly following, they move the S780 to another field to see if the crop is ready. Although it seems to be at first glance, the combine operator indicates that the field isn’t as far along as they were hoping. Ultimately, they move back to the first field, and they begin chewing through wet soybeans fields with John Deere Combines. Andy talks a little bit about the challenges present out in this field, and he also talks about future projects to improve the yields. 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!

  5. Passed through your area Friday, saw another field burying sub-surface pipelines. TBH, I wouldn't have thought that ground would hold water so bad, always considered that area top ground but being wrong ain't new to me, lol. Good vids!

  16. Andy, I know its more work but to see vid from last year and this year on the same field helps the audience visualize the yield damage all that mud last year caused the beans. For a lot of areas, muddy harvests are completely unavoidable but I do believe it compacts soil, etc. Great job. Continue to put in the work and you will continue to build an audience. I see you are over 30k, wow. Other thoughts…you might be the poorest singer I have ever heard this side of hospice care ward…Enough of that.

  22. Did you get the results from your biopsy yet? Great video as always with a wealth of information. I used to farm 20+ years ago and it amazes me how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. Technology has gone leaps and bounds but the farming practice itself has not. Hope harvest is still going good and can’t wait till the next video.

  31. Down in Illinois, do you mostly just see soybeans and corn for harvesting? I figured I'd ask the random question out of curiosity. Here in central aaskatchewan we never see soybeans, corn we will see for cattle. Up here only crops up still are canola mostly and maybe flax. But awesome videos and good luck with the farming!

  35. Always with some great videos, greatings from Brazil, beeing your subscriber since last harvest. I'm a student and farmer from south part of Brazil. Keep up with the good work on the videos, it's nice to see other perspectives about farming in other countries. Here we farm wheat in the winter and soybens and corn in the summer (soybeans beeing the main one). I can say that we are not so behind in terms of agriculture as it was in the past. In soybeans at least hahaha. I relate my job and part in our farm a lot like yours. Have a nice harvest for you all.
