This is all controlled by GPS, even the turns are controlled by GPS from what I understand nowadays, I am told it is for seeding purposes saves money in overlap. I am an old man these things weren’t around when I was a farmer, we used to have a cedar with discs and then fertilizer and then spray. It has become more complicated to become easier. Like most everything.

*I never realized the complexity of farming until I played Farm Simulator 22. Your hard work and dedication are truly commendable. Thank you for feeding the world with your efforts!*

It is incredible to see everything that I saw in farm simulator irl, just amazing.

Just sent a message to my husband. We’re both reared on farms, long ago. When I was 14 I “bucked bales” by hand…about 65/70 # each. I’m 80, now, but still a farm girl at heart. Thank you for these wonderful videos. You speak clearly so as to not need CC. ❤❤❤

Grandad had a farm since the 1930s and through to the day he died he worked it. This is ASMR for me.

Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for all the work you do to get our food. You are feeding the USA.

Mike, My two sons have worked for Crossroad farms for 10 plus years. They are in charge of a large part of operation. Crossroad farms have paid them well. So proud of sons David and Kyle! Great video, what a beautiful day to do it also!

Best part of video was watching bales being picked up and then stacked. Never seen how this is done before. You have some of best videos on u tube.

The technology used in these machines is truly impressive. They are truly working at another level.

Grew up on a grain and cattle farm in the '50's. Holy cow! Appreciate the video work. To the critics, I repeat the old saying, "Don't criticize the farmer with your mouth full."

Absolutely awesome to see all this magnificent equipment. It makes you realize that without it people would be starving. Thank you farmers and the whole farming industry!

This is one of the best farming videos I've ever seen. It shows what a big business farming has become. $millions in equipment, countless hours of maintenance to keep it operational and ready to go. Having the people ready to go in an operation like this. I can't even imagine how much fuel was needed to operate all this equipment. All this and the planning to pull it off and the farmer is still at the mercy of the weather. Luckily he had great weather for this. How many days did this video cover?

Grew up in the 70 & 80s in Ireland on 20 acre farm with 1/4 of it for corn and for bedding . It was the highlight of my year when the harvest started and the combine arrived . Brilliant video and a massive set up . Would love to be involved in this type of operation but this video will have to do . Thanks Mike 👍🏻

Wow, you are creative in work and mastery, my friend. And this tractor is very strong 👍👌

One of the best farming videos i have ever seen. Really well done. God bless you all!!!

Great video. Love the summer sky

this is by far one of the best videos I ever watched. John Deere must be proud, LOL. I was really impressed wit the tractor used to pick up the bales of straw.

love the noise of all the machines but a bailer beats them all. Spent a number of seasons 40 years ago pulling a bailer, loved it!!!

Great video and story Mike, much appreciated all the way from Northern Ireland. John Deere baler goes, clunk clunk clip, clunk clunk clip........we will, we will , rock you, clunk clunk clip, we will , we will, ROCK YOU!

This is quite the operation. Not only top notch equipment but the logistics to keep everything moving and productive. Yes Mike, the sound of the bailer becomes hypnotic in a way. Those X9's are serious harvesters!! Awesome video Mike😁👌🏻.

The machines spitting out the compacted straw reminds me of being constipated 😂.

Mike. I love your videos. Also, I agree with you about the sound of the baler. It sounds like a slow drum beat where we expect it to build up with a song.

Awesome video as always, Mike! Thank you for your great entertainment.

My first visit to your channel and really enjoyed my time spent... Back in the 70's, I drove fork lift in a fast turn over warehouse setting. Loading and unloading box cars and trucks.... every minute counted. I can really appreciate the fine skills of the the implement and tractor drivers. It was a joy to watch them work. Thanks for posting and you have a new subscriber.... Russ

Just, wow. Lived on a farm/ranch in Utah in the 70's and 80's and yeah, that's way more impressive than anything we ever had access to. Good to see wheat was planted and more importantly, harvested. This has been a challenging year for the entire world.

Your video makes me want to quit my office job in the city and go back to my hometown to work as a farmer

The co. Ordination between every operation carried out is so awsome... The machinery used is so modern and powerful.. The technology in farming machinery is developing real fast these days.. Good to see such modern machinery in practical use❤

Mike your videos are awesome Really well produced and clear to the eye thanks again Mike 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The bailing trailor I just saw has left me in awe today. Such a smart machine

Great video Mike , my cousin works a farm in Northern Ireland but not nearly as large as Crossroads. As a teen I spent a week on my Uncle William's farm . Hours sitting on the side wall of the tractor , rowing turning hay and baling off course. But my favorite thing was bringing the cows into town along the public road and milking twice a day. Love the action..... with huge amounts of work being done with American technology. Expert operators and top class drone work, thanks!

a beautiful operation. thanks for the video.

What an action packed video!! That Brent grain cart is massive looking!! Love all John Deere equipment they are using!! Thanks again Mike!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Oh, how technology has changed and improved. Great video. Love the summer sky.

wow, a vacation to work on such a farm would be something.

I sure would love working for that outfit. Thanks for sharing. God bless all the farmers globally. They feed the world and are taken for granted.

I do custom fieldwork for Crossroad Farms. Dennis and Mark are two of the greatest people I know. Farming 40,000 acres isnt for everyone yet this operation makes it look so simple.

Growing up farming in the 70s and 80s, it is insane how big the equipment has gotten…

Mike, me acabo de ver 51:24 minutos completos, Gracias por crear este maravilloso contenido. Saludos desde la Pampa Argentina.

Some fantastic footage here Mike! Great work as always capturing it all. Crossroad, is one big operation with some amazing machines for sure.

My how times have changed! Great job shooting this multi-faceted operation. Just amazing what short work the right equipment and determined farmers can make of harvesting and planting a mammoth field. My new favorite operation is picking up bales and stacking them into a small mountain.

There’s me thinking, 'Wow, that’s the way to move bales' and then, right at the end, there’s two of them! Awesome😂😂😂

That's alot of farming action! It's cool to see the bale stackers at work👍😉 this farm runs nice equipment😁👍 Brilliant video👍

That operation is amazing! Great footage, as always, Mike. Love the background music, too.

Love your video. Saturday night with Canadian whisky and coke 80F inside the house and outside, sunset in July, and watching the harvest/your harvest. Thank you from Calgary.

I thouroghly enjoyed this Mike. Farming today sure is a lot different to what it was when my dad was farming when I was a kid. I am a long, long way away from the open fields these days, but videos's such as these and especially this long one is just priceless. As Amos mentioned below, farming is still such a gamble. The payoff's can be huge and so can be the losses,

God bless you farmers,wow the equipment amazies me.🇺🇲👍💯

Dude, that John deere baler was hauling ass. Holy moly.

Great action-packed video with a lot of wonderful pictures! I'd say one of your best so far! 😃 Thanks a lot for this masterpiece! 😊👍🏻

Huge grain cart, thanks for sharing Mike

Mike I really really enjoyed this long video I have no idea how much wheat they harvested in this video the amount straw they had baled but it was alot I loved the sound of the combines running as well as that big johndeere square baler I loved that sound of that beer in action as well as the planting of the beans .thank you for this video Mike and the hard work that you put into them .

Wow! What a great video. And what an outstanding crop of wheat. Here in Southern MO we've had a tenth of an inch of rain sense you shot this. Sure hope they've gotten more than that on those beans.

Great video very action packed that has to take a lot of work to do all of that, beautiful acreage 👍

Fantastic video really enjoyed watching your videos keep up the great work always looking forward to seeing your next video soon thanks again and have a great day

I love Mike's comments about a John Deere baler. Growing up with a JD baler back in the 60's, we always talked about the rhythmic, repetitive serenade of it. Yes, it adds to its character.

This is the highest resolution that I have ever seen for Farming Simulator

I love your videos Mike. I hope you will make many more in the future!

That baler sounds like something you would hear back in the turn of the century in an old factory

I have been a fan for years. Beautiful Country side and of course Farm equipment. I love looking at the different farmland absolutely Beautiful .

Well these guys have got it going on.Great crops,farm, and,equipment,and great job by you.Looks like the wind blown wheat was no problem for the combines.Stay safe out there and Gob bless you all!

Great video Frank, I just love these wheat picking Machines And that seed sinker.

What a time to be alive!!! Just to see all of these highly mechanized operations in one great video is a dream come true. So many people today do not realize the amount of work and planning that goes into making all this happen to feed us all at efficiency's like this. A great example of why the rest of the world sees the US as the standard to strive for in farming. Another great video Mike - thanks for posting. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸

Absolutely great video… such impressive equipment!

I agree , the John Deere baler has a nice rhythmic sound ! Great drone footage 👍🏻

This is like a beautifully-choreographed "Dance of the Titans!" Enjoyed watching this very much, thanks!

Wow Mike you did a phenomenal job with this video,as always,man that is how you get it done in the fields pretty impressive yield great job guys

The latest and greatest! Thanks, Mike, great shots, great job.

Buen video Ricardo, seguí subiendo siempre los esperamos con mi familia saludos para vos y para Enzo que buen compañero!!

Mike I’ve watched several of your videos. Enjoyed all of them but this one ranks up there with the best .

the operators are such a pure❤ talent.... very experienced

Awesome video Mike! I'm amazed at the size of the grain cart. You and Jason from BTP are my favorites. You both put so much detail in these videos. Thank you!

That bale pick up and stacker was amazing. Great video Mike! ps, that rhythm of that JD baler would put me to sleep

Hey,you’ve got some of the best machinery out there,it makes it look a lot easier with all the newer machines,cool videos,I worked on a few farms in Australia back in the day doing wheat and we had Steiger tractors and John Deere harvesters doing just over 20,000 acres and with the right gear it certainly made it a lot easier.

Beautiful video. Close look at the combine harvesters and other equipment used in the harvest. Versatile and amazingly filmed! 👍❤

Great video Mike!! I agree that baler sounded good.. 👍

What I would love more than anything would be a multi-part video, all shot in the same place but at different times of the year, that simply shows all the steps. Each time a machine passes over the ground, it's included in the video, and narration explains what's going on and why. There's a million perfectly-good videos of Step X or Step Z, but nothing showing "one of each", if you will.

Great video. Very useful and really informative. Many thanks Michael.

Great video, really liked the different tractors, combines and equipment

I’ve lived in a place where there’s 3 farms within 5 miles and I’ve never been interested… until a few weeks ago when I became addicted to FS22! 😂😂😂 Just seen this type of YT content for the future est time and I gotta take my hat off to you Mike! Awesome footage & quality of production Thank you 👍🏻

Im running the speed disk Was nice visiting with you mike See you in a month!!

Another fantastic video Mike. I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers, as the variety you show is great.

I actually saw the x9 that was broken down sitting at the AHW dealer a week ago, now it makes sense seeing this video why it was there. Awesome video as always, I really enjoy the long format of them. It would be cool if you could make it out there during corn harvest. That would be a site to see as well!

A very slick operation, but I reckon if after the balers have gone around the first time, they went over the field again with the rake, they would get even more bales. There seems to be a lot of straw left on the ground. Noticed some temporary storage silos in the middle of one the fields as well, common practice here in Oz due to the enormous distances to the main elevators. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

Wow, impressive operation going on here. Lots of money there, good to see how far equipment and technology has come. Its videos like this that represent the modern American Farmer. Sad we are dealing with alot of drought through out the world and whats going on politically with farmers in other countries. America First!

🇧🇴 Fans n1 👀 bolivia presente aquí waoo 💯 puntos amigo excelente trabajo con el video 📹 👍 me gusta me encanta ver este tipo de videos 📹 📹 👀 saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👍 excelente 💜 👍 😀 😁👀👍👍💚👍👍👍👍👍👍

So nice, great job 👍 am also a small farmer from india,

Mike, that Deere baler most definitely had a very distinct rhythm to it, the two New Holland balers did too, but not as regular as the Deere. You also had some great looking weather as well, I'm still impressed with the size of the fields. Dave D.

I drove semi, a 390 Pete for the 2013 season with a six combine custom harvest crew. Only one farm baled the wheat straw. They were double chopping soy too. That farm was in Kansas.

Impressive. Good operators with good equipment!

That was a fantastic video!! Long time watcher, rarely comment, however, always enjoy your video content and commentary!

Thanks for the video. Watching technology is fascinating.

Super video. Greetings from Ireland.

The sound of that John Deere baler is like the intro/beat to ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen! And now I can’t un-hear it!

Great video with some fantastic equipment.

That hi speed disk is just a 'toy' behind that 9RX. The tractor should be pulling another 20 feet of disk. Ya man, the wide span implements switch me on-! And Mike, I agree with the posters below, that has got to be one of the best videos that youve shot. THANKS. Keep em comin.

One of your best video.. thank you 🙏

Excellent video Mike, thanks for your hard work in putting this together!

Totally enjoyed the first half of this video. I have to pause this one and finish tomorrow. You said some times video shots line up with two great shots. For me you do that a lot. Thanks for sharing again. 👍. Happy subscriber 😊! Can't wait to finish this one.

Mike you did a great job, I wish there were more hands for more thumbs up 👍 thank you.

Awesome machines.
