Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.
I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!

NONE OF THE NEIGHBORS IN MY VALLEY EVEN STARTED PLANTING YET THE FIELDS ARE VERY WET AND WATER STANDING IN THEM AND WE'VE HAD 14.00 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE APRIL AND MORE RAIN COMING WHAT A WET SPRING GOOD LUCK NATHAN
Wellll, we were ready until we weren't. Thanks for making the best of it Nathan. Plant 2024!!
I hope today is a better day! Praying for you guys.
I’m not knocking you, we are all used to modern conveniences. Can you fathom not that many years ago tractors didn’t have cabs and we only ran 4 row implements! Those old boys are way tougher than we are!
I don't think the old boys were any tougher, I'm 76 and turning 77 in couple months, so I"m one of the old boys. Just retired from farming helper last fall, then he still called me back for the last 10 days of harvest, started when 14 and only missed 4 yrs while in the Navy. And I"ve been in "modern luxurious" tractor cabs a few times with no A/C. Nathan handled it a lot better than me..
Way hotter in a sealed cab with no A/C than an open station tractor. More dusty and loud? Yes lol
I was one of those guys plowing with case 500 pulling a 3 bottom plow 30 degrees lots of clothes
@leaves9991 dust wasn't as bad wen u took 10 feet at 3mph instead of 40+ at 8mph lol
God bless Borderview Farms!
WE HAD 10,50 INCHES IN APRIL ALONE AND NOW 5.25 INHES OF RAIN IN MAY ALREADY
Learned so much this video, sorry for the tractor issues!
Check the ashtrays. If they are full, you might be ready to trade
Good Morning
That cultivator with the packer leaves the field so nice looking
Good Morning Border View Farms 👍👍
The Millennial Farmer got a new planter with a light kit on the planter itself. You may consider adding some lights on the field cultivator and packer and other equipment. Yes, I know, more light and wiring problems, just what you need. Have a good spring!
Good Morning from Minnesota, Nathan and family!!! ❤❤
Hey Nathan, I guess if you drink coffee or a hot beverage those cup holders would keep your drinks at least warm 🥵🔥🔥 Tomorrow will be better CYA NEXT TIME 👍✌️🚜🚜🚜😎
Some may think your whining about the AC not working but they don’t realize being inside the cab surrounded by glass gets super hot especially with the engine and transmission heat all cooking the cab ! Hopefully you’re got the planter issue fixed 🤞🤞🇺🇸
Remember when we lost the air in the 8630. Boss thought we were pussys until he got in it at a late lunch for me. Came back and told my dad to get Kellers out here. Your setting on a mound HEAT. I FEEL FOR YOU.
Good morning
Since the warehouse is emptying out, maybe you can talk Brock into some night work on that ceiling!
Howdy Nathan, I hope ya'll are doing well, The fields you worked, look great 👍 gonna be nice to plant into, our fields are still to wet for planting, I hope you missed the Kill deer's nest, I love to see those birds, makes me laugh when they try and lure me away from their nests lol Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends
Might be a rough first day but it’s your first day!👍
Congrats on your first. Will get better from here. ;)
Good to see you back in the fields , kinda feels like a season debut after months of reruns (although I probably enjoy the shop months more). Get a good rest so you can hit tomorrow wide open.
Looks like you have some that would go. Good luck guys Definitely needs a day to air out. Miss this time of year.
Yeah I've learned to always check the ac on tractors before its time to go. Haha
Air in the system or the valve behind the cap with the set screw.
Good Morning from Austin TX. Glad you (ya'll) got started. I understand the frustrations and you took it well! Enjoyed the irony of it all. (i was gonna use sarcasm but it is a form of irony directed at a person, with the intent to criticise. Which is not my intent) Can anyone else come up with another name for this video? I was thinking, 'Nate in the Traveling Dry Spa, JD Style" or...?
Very impressive to see your field cultivator at work. I know that there is a number of how much horsepower it takes to pull that much of a tool. I believe it’s like 10hp per foot. If that’s somewhat correct then your newer 8r370 probably would not be able to pull that tool. I’m probably wrong but great video.
I have three days a week that I am lucky if I sleep an hour a night. That is year round. I know only sleeping a few hours hurts but, it only a few weeks a year instead of every week. Hang in there, get that seed in the ground. Maybe Jack can be there early to install that AC compressor.
Neighbors ran their field cultivator into a pivot last week because of the dust
Any reason for not being able to operate with the door open?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If you’re day😢go like mine, just wait it’ll get worse lol 😂
I am curious, what was your cultivating setup before the current one
We had a 9300 and pulled a 32' 980 field cultivator and packer. Basically the same just smaller
Have you ever thought of running a Kinze planter.
Open the windows,let the dust roll in.My Dad always did that.He hated AC👎👎
Just go trade it in for a 9RX!!! Kidding, I know they are big budget item.
This first 35 acres field was the one where you tried the 9620RX last fall, no ?
No it wasn't
Well, are'nt you organized :-)
As usual
Too much technology.??
As I tell my wife, technology is great when it works. When it doesn't that smart phone can and will make you look like a idiot Lol
You mean like air conditioning? Those weren't technology issues, they were mechanical issues
Why don’t you guys buy a used 9RX
Well the used one we demo'd last fall still cost $675,000.
You guys bought junk! Had all winter to get things ready! I never did have A C. Just do with out
What a whiner!!
