Paying Off A Church’s Mortgage In 48 Hours ($105k)

hey guys before we jump into the video i have a massive update i need to update everybody on so the other day i told you guys how neva's parents church was in a lot of financial hot water and they needed ten thousand dollars by october in order to keep the church and well i shared the gofundme that was on there and we didn't just raise ten thousand dollars we raised the entirety of their mortgage 105 178 dollars in two days i shouldn't say we that was all you guys so we have nevis parents here they just want to say they're thank you i'll let you guys take it away thank you thank you very much to everyone we are baffled to to to well without words uh on how god moves veronica and and we had a payment that was due on october 1st or october 14th i believe and thank you to you all of you guys we're going to be able to pay that church thank you all the fans and thanks cole for god for the calling of god unto his heart and from the bottom of our hearts thank you to everyone everyone that donated god bless you guys all right everybody you are watching me not cold cornstarch i get to start the video off today so i just thought i'd do the old how he does it when he comes out and kind of walk around scratch my head and like where do i go what do i do but i know where i'm heading to i'm actually heading to the bin site where the hammer goes uh might be on the backdrop we're gonna be working up working on the overhang today [Music] looks like it's time to clean up it's about well it's nine o'clock at night today is cole's birthday so happy birthday cole all right everybody let's just call it a night and we'll talk to you tomorrow how are you doing today coop good yesterday when we were moving plywood on the telehandler it fell and smashed my toes and broke her speed square so this morning i'm going to be the runaround guy for a little bit i need to run down to the lumber yard we need to pick up some extra wood and some tin and other materials for the dryer shack and i'm sorry you guys just slid down a little bit and then i'm going to run by the dmv see if i can pass the sinking task again and while i'm there i'm going to talk about maybe widening one of the driveways to one of our farms because i don't think we're going to be able to get our semis in it while we're doing that dad and cooper are working on the dryer shack the main guys are building the bed i don't even know if i'm pointing in the right area and brian's crew is here working on the pads for the leg and the welder guys are welding a lot going on but let's go get some stuff ordered okay we got our list we're here at the lumber yard let's go spend some money look at that cooper new speed square dad i got your pencils all right stinking semi test third time's a charm we're gonna get it this time sable just showed up so she's gonna raise me and cooper up and down off of the uh tickler bone so we can get them start scalping away on the building we got sable coming around the corner here doing 80 miles per hour she's whipping in there she's bouncing around told you guys third time was a charm i passed so now i need to head over to the county engineers office we have three field driveways in some fields that need to be widened out so i'm gonna go talk to them and see what we need to get done to get those fixed because right now they're too narrow to be able to get our new combine it should clarify the the bean head is too big to be able to fit into them in the 24 row planner kind of show you what i mean here so this is orleans farm and this is one of the driveways we can use and the other one is down in that patch of weeds now that driveway is really steep so when we come in with the 24 row planter it would gouge into the ground if we use that driveway so we can't use that one and this one here you have like literally six inches on both sides of it before you dip off into the ditch and when you just have no margin for air their accidents are just waiting to happen so we're gonna try to double the width of a driveway over here that way we can maybe get into it a little bit easier these guys are up here practicing their karate moves you can always tell who's doing the hardest work around here i wonder could you jump from that one it's over to there you can try it yeah it'll make good footage uh-huh ah it's kind of fun to see if he can fly like a bird oh hey brandon what are you doing here how's it going gonna go check some corn you want to get in yeah i'll see you later by the way guys i have a braid in sable did it for me what do you think oh no come on okay oh me i thought i like it i'm a big fan of braids we're coming up here on kristen and rusty's and then on the other half of this is bills there is four champion numbers in this field but without my monitor here i don't know exactly which one so we're gonna head down the road a little bit further to melvin melvin's has 28 89 yen it's a good number their favorite number i think so i think it's the one i picked to win why is 289 your favorite number because it's more than 2888 brandon you're supposed to object because we're the corn stars not the bean stars i know but you got to do what you got to do sometimes overall how are beans looking across the state so far they're doing all right there's more parts of the state that have a little bit more drought we're definitely starting to see that impact the beans especially on the lighter sandier soil types all in all they're hanging in there you look at the beans here today you know these pods are kind of flat as they mature and as they get a little bit more rain and some nutrients in them they'll kind of fill out into a bigger heavier bean and that's where a lot of yield can be found a bunch of pods on there though yeah these are potted pretty heavy dang look at that stem so this right here cole that's what i always like to see the four bean pods four leaf clover four leaf clover a lot of your most of your what do you mean by four bean pods a four bean pod this pot has four beans growing in it most of your soybeans are gonna be three beans per pod and every now and then one pod will get extra happy a little extra nutrients in it and we'll find uh find four and sometimes even five beans in a pot brandon all of our soybeans are always fours always fours so one thing we look at with beans is kind of the bean type and so here we see we're getting some branching and that's kind of helped create that nice canopy and close the row spacing as guys plant soybeans and more narrow rows maybe more upright leaf or upright style but for a 30-inch row setting having that bushier style that kind of closes the rows canopies and then conserves moisture is definitely a benefit by 30 inch row one of the roses here one of the roses here the gap between them is 30 inches some people plant 22-inch rows 20-inch rows 15 inch seven and a half am i forgetting anything oh i think that covers it and corn some guys go 60s 36s 30s 22s 20s 15s i've never heard anything smaller no i haven't either cole i'm actually finding a lot of four bean pods here i told you they're all forced one there you got one here so quite a bit of four bean pods that's definitely going to be a nice little yield bump the benefit or i guess why we look for some of these four bean pods not only indicates good yield conditions good plant health and good growing conditions but if you think about it one four bean pod per plant would be one extra bean per plant times 140 000 beans which is how many plants we planted per acre so you would have 140 000 extra beans per acre which is roughly an extra bushel advantage over all three bean pods because fun fact there's 140 000 soybeans in a bushel of soybeans looking at bug control here though i did see a beetle right there why do they always wrestle like that i haven't figured that out i think when uh when a mommy japanese beetle loves a daddy japanese beetle they wrestle they wrestle but overall i mean looking at plants here i'm not seeing a lot of damage you can see where they were maybe a little snacky right there what was that children's book called the hunger caterpillar i think so yeah he was here this field was sprayed twice with herbicide because the first time we sprayed it wasn't effective and came back again it seemed like it did a really nice job here but what do we got going here brandon these are a little discolored yeah so this looks like what we call sudden death syndrome in soybeans sds sds and so what that is it's a fungal pathogen found in the soil we have wet saturated soils after planting that fungal pathogen will move through the moisture in the soil get on that seedling and infect the roots then about this time of year if we get a rain it'll rain and as the plant takes that up it actually moves the toxin from the roots up into the canopy and that's where we see the leaf symptomology so so there's really nothing i can do about this now this is going to die this plant will die you know sometimes we'll get a big pocket of it this is pretty sporadic so i don't think we're going to see a big yield reduction especially coming in this late in the game a few years back we had sudden death syndra move in in late july and had some really big yield impacts we're getting further along in grain fill so the yield impact will be a little bit less there are some seed treatments out there that we could apply to the seed to prevent this um but at this stage of the game there isn't really much that could be done but even if you have a seed treatment like it's kind of inevitable like you're probably going to have it in some way shape or form and you know whether it's a couple plants here or there or pockets like yeah even with the seed treatment there's different varieties of different tolerances to sds so variety selection is going to be your best bet coupling that with a seed treatment that controls sudden death and even with those two things combined it's still not going to be a hundred percent you still might have some uh but you're definitely gonna have a lot less instances of sudden death and a lot less yield loss by using those two methods to control it you guys didn't know you were coming to science class today did you holy cow it's like wwe on this one i got a question for you when i was little it seemed like all the soybeans had a round leaf on them and they were a lot bigger but nowadays it seems like we have a pointy soybean leaf and they're a lot skinnier is that just a different variety or these enlist ones seem to do it more than what i remember from our liberty stuff or is it just like the new thing yeah there can definitely be a genetic component similar to kind of the branching and the bushiness some of the leaf styles will be a little different uh if we look here a little lower in the canopy we get to some bigger wider leaves there's there's the old-fashioned ones we'll get some bigger wider leaves as we get fuller in the canopy the plant changes from putting on a lot of leaves and vegetation and more towards grain fill and putting more weight towards openings in the pods so what's up with these yellow guys that's kind of a natural thing um they're pretty clean i'm not seeing anything that would indicate disease i think they're just lower in the canopy so they're not getting as much sunlight so they are kind of starting to to sense or kind of fall off because they're not really contributing photosynthesis to the plant so i cracked open a pod this is what the beans look like at this stage you want to try one they taste like lima beans they taste like edamame edamame green soybeans but obviously they're full of moisture they're going to continue to put on some size and some weight and then they're really soft right now you can just squeeze right into them i didn't cut my thumbnail for this purpose so i could squeeze into this today you're wishing you didn't eat that edamame did you got a little funky aftertaste oh brandon this one has two on it what's going on well give it time it'll still grow it's funny pretty dang impressed with these beans yield prediction 59 bushels i gotta do better than that 65 bushels 69 69 bushels there we go oh okay so this next field we're going to here this is what we call the hanson farm but the main hitted shop right over there the field around dad's there there's a creek that runs through it hanson farms on this side then we got west of dad's right over there on that hillside so this is 56-821 now we'll check the ears right on the edge of the field sitting all by themselves and we'll find the biggest one that'll be an accurate representation of the whole field right i think that's how it works this overachiever is putting on two ears no three three you got three years on this one i hope you have a good tax guy because you're about to have a problem yeah i think one of the biggest misconceptions about raising corn is most people think there is multiple ears per plant on the edge here where there's plenty of real estate for air to come in a lot of photosynthesis going on a lot of nutrients available you can have plants that have several on them like this guys here got two but in general out in the field we only have one yeah that's already half milk line 40 moisture in the kernels right now when it black layers it reaches maturity it'll be about 30 and then harvest will start anywhere around 20 20 moisture maybe a little higher than that so by 40 moisture you mean that 40 of the weight within this kernel is moisture this moisture is water this time of year what we're looking for is overall plant health just looking at the leaves seeing if we're seeing any disease insect feeding that kind of thing so by disease you mean like discoloring if you see any yellow spots gray spots yep it's that little disease right there yeah so that would be some gray leaf spot um it's another fungal pathogen that is infecting the leaf and basically why do they call that gray leaf spot so it's a gray spot yes pretty much right now it's kind of red but once that tissue dies it'll turn very gray but with the fungicide application like this field got we're really not seeing anything for disease or insects seeing some really nice looking ears so what we just saw there that's with intolerance and not really affecting yield correct yep it's a big ear or a small ear that's pretty typical for this hybrid uh this hybrid we kind of see longer skinnier ears we don't get a lot of fat fat girthy ears with 18 20 kernels around wait so when a hybrid is being made they know like the characteristic of the ear that's already going to be on it kind of yeah for the most part growing conditions the environment's going to have a lot of impact on it uh but different hybrids will have different ear styles kind of like the soybeans with their leaf type and that ears can be short and fat and we'll see 18 20 kernels around and not very many long a hybrid like this will maybe see 14 to 16 kernels around and then a lot longer in length the other thing we look for is uh how well we pollinated this hybrid or this plant this ear pollinated very closely to the tip under some stress conditions we can then see some of the tip that pollinated it'll abort those kernels if it doesn't think it can support them all we're not seeing that here so because a little bit of tip back is good it shows you're at the right poly our population population correct so you think we could maybe up it based off this year based off of that year i would say you know maybe another thousand or 1500 plants per acre would maybe be a little bit more of an optimum uh we're kind of maximizing this year but all in all you know seeing just that very little tip is a good sign found a competitor here how'd that get in here [Laughter] there's even a little baby ear in there oh oh this is what they have of those mongolian restaurants the formula we do to do kind of a yield estimate is we'll count kernels around multiply by kernels long multiplied by plants per acre and then we'll take that number and divide it uh by the amount of kernels in a bushel and that'll give us an estimate for what this part of the field could end up yielding if all these kernels uh fully develop gives us a little bit of a baseline but there's that's for just this part of the field you know if we're in a good part or a worst part field average is definitely going to fluctuate across the whole the whole area because this one's got a little tip back on it yeah that's the second year oh that's the second year and that's i mean for 34 000 that's pretty even spacing we got 14 by 38. have you ever seen an odd number no you'll always have an even number on corn what if you find an odd number could i sell it on ebay for ten thousand dollars i think you might have a pretty nice scientific find there i would turn it in for some money so we'll do 14 times 38 and then we'll multiply that by the planting rate was 34 500 plants per acre not 100 of those will emerge so conservatively we'll say there's 31 harvestable ears here so multiply it by 31 000 plants per acre then we'll divide by 90 which is 90 000 kernels per bushel that gives us a yield estimate of 183 and i'd say two for the year we've had we're definitely low on moisture we've had a lot of high heat days a lot of high heat days anything over 90 degrees is really going to stress the corn so last month has been 90 degrees every day with no rain no rain high heat high humidity and that's really going to stress the plant and so for this part of of iowa and the area i don't think we're going to see record yields by any means i think we'll be a lot closer to average so a lot of the yield estimates we've been doing have been in that 175 to 210 range you guys keep in mind this is just a sample of the feel because i mean even just walking down a few plants later well that one's got two on it too but there is a lot of earth size variety that one's got two on it as well i'm looking at this little guy and not realizing there's a monster above it holy smokes okay never mind this field is going to do 280. this is 243. so hey this one was also on there what's the bonus year as i say most plants only have one but i've actually done several with two so 24 by 16. so this is 128 bushel corn right here so 128 plus a 242 242 on one plant on one plant what the heck that guy's got two he's got a little one started that guy's got two that guy's got two wait till i see what i got for you cole your very own corn star farms champion seed sign guys if you buy three million dollars worth of seed from champion you get a sign you too can have a sign like this i probably shouldn't say i should prove that with you first what's that i should have approved that with you oh yeah no three million and we can get you a sign precious cargo coming through over here at zax this is the field right across from his house there's 35 acres on this side champion 68 20. all right you take your pick which way where the big ears at this way so one thing i'm noticing here is we should be seeing some brown silks the silks are what uh like what sticks out at the end of the air like that yeah so these brown silks these are the silks that come out of the ear and the pollen falls on them and pollinates the kernels on some of this corn that's leaned a little bit i'm seeing we're missing the silks which tells me something's been feeding on them and most likely this year we've been seeing corn rope worm beetles very thick even on some rotated acres and so most likely what happened was some corn roatworm larva uh chewed on the roots and then during a wind event the corn kind of goosenecked then after the larvae emerge out of the ground we have all the beetles flying around and they're gonna feed on these silks here so when we were talking about different hybrids can put on different ears unlike 56 a 21 a long skinny ear 6820 is going to be a big fat year so we'll see a lot of 20 rounds with this hybrid so those rootworm beetles were eating the end here they were eating the silks and the last silks to emerge are the ones that pollinate the tip so if they ate those they would brown silk last so they probably were feeding on those which then made it impossible for the tip of the ear to pollinate yeah because each silk here goes to an individual kernel so if we would have eliminated the ones that go to the kernels they're not going to be able to be popular would have been able to be pollinated correct 33 so we're 18 by 33 here with a little bit of uh some pollination issues we probably lost a good 10 kernels or better at least correct yep so we were getting 14 by 38 on 56 821 we're getting 18 by 33 on this year so we'll do some quick math and see how that compares this is still a 204 bushel ear despite having some of the issues with the cornrow feeding and then the the silk clipping and so if that took 10 kernels off all the way around that would be a 43 by 18. what would that come out to 62 bushel hit so this part of the ear had it fully pollinated would have been 62 extra bushels so we would have been basically looking at like a 266 260 yeah this ear here hat was not silk clipped had its brown silks still hanging out of the ear and we see that we pollinated a lot more closely to the tip this tip back i would consider to be very normal especially here and there's a little reference for yeah there you go side by side you can see that one's been attacked by root worm beetles and this one really wasn't so 38 so we got five more kernel rows than this one we probably still had five there at the tip this tip back's more normal and shows kind of that optimum planting population this one shows us we had an issue there uh at pollination time so even that could still be 30 bushels more so that's how you literally cannot tell the difference by looking that's why it makes it tough on some hand-picked calculations yep the other thing we look at too so this year here it's a uniform kernel row all the way down to the butt this one here we see a little bit of mixed match so maybe we were going to start to be about 20 kernels around and about b12 when the plant is determining kernels around if there was some stress at that time lack of rain high heat it said no we can't support 20 kernels around shrunk down to 18 and then we get strong okay that makes it sense so a little bit of not perfectly straight kernel rows here can kind of indicate some stress at that time frame as well i don't know about you but i'm not going to complain at 204 at five dollar corn even yeah with 10 inches of rain since planting that's not too bad yeah so we'll notice here looking at the kernels we kind of see a little bit of a deeper dent than we did in the last field 6820 has some good test weight but probably not as high as 56 a 21 and that's a little bit evident just by looking at the dent and then kind of the texture we call that a rough cap where it kind of gets wrinkly that's an indic indicated indicative indicative indicative not not at the curtain of the test weight so your real high test weights will have just a real minimal dent and a real full thick cap more average test weight we'll have a little bit of a rougher wrinkle in the top of the kernel i did not know that test weight refers to how much a bushel of corn weighs so on average is 56 pounds so if you have 62 pound test weight which how they determine that i'm not sure but basically that's a yield percentage boost from 56 pounds to 62. essentially it's the density of the kernel you have more weight packed into a kernel so it's going to be less kernels per bushel so when we divide by 90 you could divide by in our yield calculation formula you could divide by 100 indicating you're going to have a light a light test weight more kernels per bushel you could divide by 80 indicating high test weight less kernels per bushel pull a usda there huh a little bit of nitrogen deficiency here oh and in a year like this so this this v yellow v shape going down the mid rib is indicative of nitrogen deficiency in a year like this and kind of knowing the corn star farms fertility program it's less likely that there's not enough nitrogen in the soil we just didn't have enough rain to move that nitrogen up in the plant corn plants drink their food as the moisture in the soil moves the water-soluble nutrients the roots take those up bring them into the plant without moisture we're just not getting the nutrient uptake we normally do we put uh 34 and a half gallons per acre on side dressing and we also put that on up front so 245 and it takes a pound of nitrogen to produce one bushel corn so theoretically 245 bushels an acre based off how much nitrogen we put on not including what's already in this hole yeah we're definitely dry here but we are not as dry as like zach johnson in minnesota or chet larsen in minnesota they're they're burning up up there they're significantly drier than we are always remember if you're lost in the woods the bark always grows on the outside of the tree brandon last field this is the north farm this is the champion of the champion seeds that we've planted for the past couple years 58 21 as you can see we got a really nice stand out here yep little sprayer blight nothing bad the heggy donuts were back at it two three three third little nubbin now that's mongolian corn down there little further behind in maturity not quite as dented as the last field we were in 39 by 18. that's going to be a high yielder any predictions 39 by 18 we're probably looking at a 249. [Music] 248. oh that was closer you got it price is right baby this is right yo come on now so earlier we talked about pollinating to the tip so these pink kernels that are the color color of the cobb basically never pollinated here we see these really little yellow shriveled ones those kernels pollinated and then due to some stress some heat some lack of rain corn plant did not think it could support all those kernels and then aborted some of those at the end that's not very much um you know we're probably only one kernel row high so that's not going to affect it too drastically but that is no effect it still affects it and that's one thing we look at this time of year is was the plant happy and healthy all the way through didn't abort any kernels or did we have some stress that we aborted colonel's back i gotta admit you look a lot more sophisticated with the ice gold jack yeah 16 what that means way bigger around than 16. this is what i mean how deceptive it is guys this one is 18 around and 39 long okay and this one here is 16 around and 40 long you would think this thing's 22 around hey guys we went to three different fields what were you doing the neighbors you shouldn't really be going through the neighbors fields the handsomes is like that yeah south of the creek there that same field yeah that's weird yeah what was also weird is this was attached to the same plant really yeah that's the second year like every other plant had two on it there and it's just like that this is the main one that's the second and then that's the main one that's the second holy cow this is a 242 here by itself and this is 120. really yeah all right guys say goodbye to brandon hi i'm glad he left if anyone's interested in chimpanzee i'll include the link to their website down below if you kinda wanna check out what they got give someone a phone call if you're interested in checking out some seed be my guest we got a sable over here making a little runaway or a little ramp into our building to make it easier to get in and out how do you like it it's different different better or worse i like it but i keep trying to like tip the bucket with this hand yeah the controls are different do you want it set the other way dad and cooper have been busy all day getting the rest of this thing sheeted we got insulation guys coming at nine o'clock tomorrow morning they're finishing up the last little bits right between the rafters they have to cut some boards to fit in there so that way we have a nice tight seal with the foam and sable's out here making a little ramp with the jcb i'm gonna hop in the bobcat here and help her i guess we have to make a ramp up here so that way the insulation guys can get their lift thingamajig or whatever it's called inside the building [Music] today was a little sciency but guys i had a lot of fun today going out there in the field and looking at the plants and trying to figure out okay maybe the plant was deficient in this or we had this issue because we were able to take all that data that we collected today and then we can pass that down into next year for our operation so let's say the root worm beetle example maybe next year we're gonna maybe you'll have to look into that a little more spray a little bit more insecticide to take care of those things because i mean right there we saw a 30 bushel drop i don't know if this affected all of our acres or not because when you're in a small sample area you could have just been in an infected pocket but let's say hypothetically it affected the entire thousand acres of corn that we had at 30 bushels an acre that'd be 30 000 bushels of corn so five bucks that'd be a hundred and fifty thousand dollars that those bugs would have cost in damages where the insecticide we put on is like two dollars an acre so for two thousand dollars worth of prevention we could have saved 148 000. that's just an example of some kind of data that we can collect and we can carry into next year's and also just going out there and being like okay the plant had stresses during this time of the year and you kind of have a better idea of what's going on with the plant maybe why you got the yield that you did and you can also look at it as a point of improvement of hey could we do anything better than what we did this year and i mean i noticed a couple things out there so it's just kind of exciting and honestly the yields were a lot better than i anticipated at least in the areas that we were in for as dry as we've been the corn looks phenomenal and so does the beans so i'm really getting excited for harvesting guys we could be harvesting within the next four weeks it's the 24th of august right now so let's see we could we could become on the 24th of june september easily that's crazy to think about once the first of september starts rolling around here we'll start pulling all the equipment out we really don't have a lot that we need to fix on stuff just mainly kind of greasing everything up double checking everything over maybe changing some fluids and things but other than that the equipment should basically be ready and speaking of ready i think i'm ready to end this video because i don't have anything else to talk about i don't have anything else to show you so thanks for watching guys we'll see in the next one
