How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a YouTube channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.

Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.

How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

  • Weld some angled brooms (with removable pins) to the backside of that sweeper and let it clean itself.

    Your policy of working smarter not harder is a good one.
  • @lynnmoore2664
    Another very well done video Ryan. One of the nice things that comes with running your own operation is you can the job your own way every time! Taking the safe way is the smart way always imo. Thanks Ryan and tske care.

    I wait until the sweep won’t get any more before I touch a broom lol
  • @johannlangner289
    Hey,... Did you know, if you follow behind the sweep auger, work the corn to the sweep with a broom and scoop it over the sweep auger with a shovel, then clean up with the broom and scoop again. Keep following the sweep auger that way, when you are done, the bin is clean

    Hey pal. Checking in from North Central Illinois here. Big fan of your page. I just wanted to say that I really thought it was cool how you overlaid the 4 bits of video of you sweeping up the floor of the first bin. That was cool to watch. I work for FS Grain at one of our elevators here in Illinois and sweeping is one of my favorite tasks around the elevator.

    Hi Ryan,You and Travis are two hard working men. Take Care and Be Safe.

    We clean out our bins the same way. I've seen sweeps go around the bin way faster than that. We have safety stops that stop the sweep every time around just in case somebody falls or something like that. You have to lift the sweep over it. Thanks for the video.

    Best part about been your own boss you can do it how ever you want. Good work keep it up.
  • @racer7954
    You are getting really good at driving that truck Ryan
  • @rtdavis62
    Love the flat floors in the bins, our first bins had the corrugated floors, real pain to clean out and grain always sifted under the outside edges.

    I'm a Facility Manager of a grain elevator Ryan the answer to question is its a major safety issue. I've been in the grain elevator business for 22 yrs I've chased behind many sweep augers. Doing it the way you are doing it is the best and safest way.
