aTrippyFarmer and the crew are back to bring you more farming adventures! In this episode, Andy and the crew pull out nearly all of the tractors and combines from the machine shed in order to access their grain augers. Although they are not as flashy as the rest of the farm equipment, the grain auger play a crucial role in the harvesting process. Without them, they would not be able to load their grain bins fill of the newly harvested crop. Dragging the augers out of the barn is an interesting process due to their large size, but the family has no issues getting that done. They get the augers out without any issues, and proceed to move onto another project. In order to prepare for a new tillage implement for this fall, one of their John Deere 4wd tractors needs to be equipped with a hydraulic drain line on the tractor. This is necessary for the functionality of any new John Deere Tru-Set tillage implements. Marty leads the effort to get this installed, and they end up saving some money by doing it themselves. Because these projects take longer than expected, Andy ends up having to service the augers the next day. He also gives some crop progress updates and talks briefly about the markets. Thanks for watching!

Andy “aTrippyFarmer” Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth–some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold–we usually only get concerned when things aren’t going wrong!
