Technology is indeed awesome. I started farming with a hand cranked B John Deere which had a tricycle front end. When I stopped farming in the early 70s, the 4020 John Deere was the king in my area. I worked for a neighbor for a little while in the 90s and was driving a Steiger Panther. Good work Welkers.
That wheat field is going to look beautiful next spring looking out the windows of your New House Nick!! Nice planning, God Bless You and Your Family!
LOVE the really long shot down the field at the end. Love to see the shots that show planter or combine (or such) along with both what's been done and what needs to be done.
The Homer Simpson-esq drool over the turbos...priceless Considering the climatic dipole flip across the Pacific and Indian oceans, and that Australia expects a hotter, drier change over the next few years indicates better seasons heading your way. All the best and fingers crossed that bumper harvest isn't far away for you. Cheers Welker family.
Pretty impressive efficiency. We plant with a 52' drill and a 300 hp tractor and our fuel burn per acre is maybe a bit higher than you were getting there, in roughly the same conditions.
