thejunkman Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 With my "On the farm" model truck build nearly complete. I thought I would share some other farm related things. Here is a video cleaning seed wheat in preparation for drilling (planting). Not all farms do this step but it is necessary for increased yields and a more quality crop come harvest time. There are many different types and sizes of cleaners, this one is designed around a mid-sized farm like ours. This video I made explains it more, plus pictures! One could argue that this is the first step in how bread is made. This one is made by Clipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejunkman Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 That vid has some of the best shots ever of the workings of farming implements.....great youtube page you have also. I am always adding more video and other stuff to my site as well. Keep watching I got more coming. I have some of my first videos over on my website that have commentary on them (they are not on Youtube) that you might like. My original "Farming in Nebraska" video, I shot all of this when I was 13 (about 1991) or so, some on 8mm film, lol Later in 2006 I was able to edit it digitally after I transferred it to DV tape. Here is "Farming in Nebraska 2" a 20 year follow up. almost all of this was shot digitally in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badluck 13 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Caught "Farming in Nebraska 2" last night on your page....you got some better programs than RFDtv line up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejunkman Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Caught "Farming in Nebraska 2" last night on your page....you got some better programs than RFDtv line up!!! The original has the commentary and will explain a log more, plus has footage of older equipment. RFDtv is all equestrian stuff now, which is fine if that is all you are into, but it is lacking in other "AG related" programing.
