aTrippyFarmer and the crew are back to bring you more farming adventures! In this episode, Andy and his family are finalizing the John Deere Equipment lineup in order to harvest their first field of soybeans in Central Illinois. After a week of anxiously waiting, the team has finally decided to move into the crop and begin harvesting the soybeans. Andy, Marty, Chris, Jeff, and Katie are all there to fire up the machines on the first day, and everything continuously goes smoothly. Andy gets his first chance to operate the New John Deere 8R370 and JM1222 Grain Cart, and Marty sends the first crops through the brand new John Deere S780. The crew dives into the harvest season with the hopes of conquering the Central Illinois Soybean crop. 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!

It's funny because when I read the title of your channel, it was off-putting and I thought this guy is not serious about farming. However, it is the complete opposite. You have, in my opinion, the best farming channel on YT in terms of explaining the rationale behind farming decisions. I appreciate your patient and coherent style as you go into detail with information covering a broad scope of topics. Farming is a complex business. Keep going, your channel with grow as viewers discover you.
@@dbrown530 I absolutely agree. Andy's explanations are the best on YT !
Hey Andy
If you are looking for a great solution for automatic cart unloading software look into agrimatics cart weighing system. We used it last fall to try it out and play with and used it for winter wheat and does everything you are looking for 🙂
Your real is going way to fast for beans
I came to the US from New Zealand way back in ‘08 to do a harvest season. Due to visa commitments I had to return home but loved the time I spent harvesting in Arizona and North and South Dakota. Watching this video bought back some great memories. Loved watching what you do.
That’s awesome to hear. I’m glad that this video gave you some nostalgia of farming in the US. Best wishes!
Your little one was really excited!! Have a safe harvest!
He loves the farm. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid, Andy. I appreciate your somewhat more technical descriptions of genetics, chemicals, timing, etc. and not so much about what went wrong with your tools, bad sensors and such complaints. Hope harvest continues to be good.
I appreciate the feedback! You guys get a front-row seat to everything on the farm… both good and bad.
@@aTrippyFarmer Rereading my post I realize it sounded like I'm criticizing your for bellyaching, but that was not my intent. What I hoped to do was compliment you for talking about farming in a detailed way, rather than sort of the drama of the day style common on the tube. Thanks!
I agree. Keep that up too.
❤❤❤❤❤❤😇🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤩😘😘

Of all of the TH-cam farming content that I consume, your content is not only the best but it's the highest video production in TH-cam farming. Thank you for taking the time to make your content interesting and top quality.
That means a lot. I really appreciate your feedback and viewership!!
I’m a spring / summer guy. Living roots in the ground, the way it is supposed to be. What does brown dirt look like to me? Slavery, suffering, degradation, destruction.
But a living plant is life. Yearning little solar panels, natures own fusion, creating more than it takes. I’ll never be whole physically from 23 years of farming, I suffered, sweat, got by by the skin of my teeth, made other people MILLIONS for a chance to do my thing.
I’ve been in the death business as a young Marine in the Gulf War, and as an officer / aviator in the Marine Corps who did his part in the War On Terror.” The life business is better, and doing it on my terms is icing on the cake.
It’s hard to disagree with that logic. It seems like you’ve always got to pay the price to enter into the big game!
I’m a disabled man that used to farm from south East Missouri you have some awesome equipment
I am sorry that you’ve got some health issues. I appreciate your compliment, and I hope that my videos might bring you a little closer to the farm.
Great video Andy 1 full year watching this channel from the UK
Awesome, thank you!
I really enjoy watching all this video. I grew up on dairy farm. I worked for grain farm in Woodstock IL. Farming is still in heart. This new technology just amazes me. I’m 75 years old. Thanks I will want watch more.
That is awesome! I know some farmers from that area. Best wishes!
Great video! I'm not a farmer but lived in farm country my whole life. My 2-year-old grandson is tractor crazy. One of his first words was " Combine". I've had him in friends combines the last two harvest. Great to see your son gets that excited. Have a good and safe fall!
Thanks for the great comment. I bet those rides in the combine have made his days. I remember riding when I was just a small boy… you never forget that stuff. Best wishes!
I’m from Robinson IL but watching from Missouri at my daughter’s home. Have a safe harvest! Chuck McDonald
Glad to have you, Chuck. Best wishes!
Lenn -ny! Lenn -ny! Lenn -ny! The wheels were definitely turning.
Of COURSE you’re excited! You plan every detail best you can for planting, do all you can to grow the best crop you can then comes the first day to see if all that hard work paid off. Not to mention, harvest is literally a farmer’s income maker.
Holy smokes you guys are no joke. Good to see you helping your old man. It's all gonna be you and your kids doing this. Awesome video. Remember to say your prayers and God bless
I live not far from Mattoon. Recently found your channel, I’ve always been interested in farming but don’t come from a family in it. So your videos are amazing & you explain everything in good depth. A lot of things are more understandable from your videos & playing farming simulator 😂. I also was the one who mentioned you on Twitter for a updated video idea. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the comment. I will try to make a new equipment tour if we have time, but this part of the year can be very constrained. Thanks again!
I am glad you are one that talkes more about this stuff
I’m happy that you like it!
Glad to see Harvest 2022 starting great !
Good to see Lenny and Allie in the tractor with you !
Appreciate that. Have a good day!
Great video. I worked for a family that did custom wheat harvesting (started at 16 through college) starting in Texas going north upto South Dakota. I loved every minute. It was awesome! It was a sad day, when I called the family I worked for that I wasn't going as I finished my college with my engineering degree - which they help make that possible. I got a job working for the Dept. of Defense in the DC area in Virginia. Farmers are the backbone of America - A big Salute to all Farmers.
An easier way to attach the header is to hold the LB button and press the X button at the same time. Learned that on Farm Simulator LOL But seriously you guys have some beautiful farms. Here in my area of Virginia you guys wouldn’t have room to park your equipment on a farm around here. I’m in the mountainous area and if you have flat land you’re in heaven! Some of my friends left this area and went to California, where as I hear they have the largest family owned farms in the USA. No matter the size of the farm, farming is expensive and very labor intensive. If it isn’t the weather then it’s the pests or diseases. And if it isn’t that then you’re fighting equipment breaking down. Sometimes you wonder why you even got out of bed. My hat is off to ANY and ALL farmers! I know it isn’t easy! God bless you guys and gals!
Haha love the farming simulator reference! Appreciate the comment. God bless!
Ive been farming my whole life and now im 50yrs old. Time flies by when your a farmer. Fall is my time of year cause its the start of deer season.
A farmer AND a deer hunter? You must not enjoy your sleep!
I'm in Arizona. We just finished with our 100 degrees days. Winter is the best. Great video 👍 👍
Wow. I sweat a little just reading that... thanks!
Andy what a great first day of harvest. Once again you have made another great video, your drone footage is second to none. Look forward to many more harvest videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
An Aussie here. I'm a summer guy. That's when we harvest here. Comepletely different for you fellas. Love seeing the differences in your seasons.
I’d love to come to Australia some day… it seems so majestic!
Thank you I enjoyed that! Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thanks for watching!
Hammer down Andy, got to keep the combines rolling!!!
Great show lots of great info. The machine have changed so much from when I would help my grandfather with his harvest back in the early 60s. We battled with the equipment he had most of it from the early 50s to the late 50s the newest thing he had was his big JD tractor. Everything worked as it should but it was still a very hard day of work.
Hey Andy, Iv been following you since this spring. I haven’t missed a video since. I live out in Utah so harvest on the scale that y’all do is different then what we do. I’m absolutely fascinated by what y’all do. We have a custom hay business where we cut, bale, and haul hay for farms in our area. Anyway love your videos, very informative and educational. Thank you for doing what you do and taking us along fir the ride
That’s really neat to hear. I bet your area would be fascinating to me. We sure get used to what we are around, and I’m glad that I can offer you a view of our farm. Best of luck with the hay business!!!
I watch a few farmer channels, good to see a local family hitting the fields. Good vid, glad to watch your harvest.
Thanks for the comment!
We can only thank you and the rest of your farm hands for all the awesome work y'all do... As for cashews I eat one container per week cause I love ❤️ cashews...
nice too see all the parts are moving in the right way !worked with family for a lot years ,ill say it was the most honest work cause they will always tell you when you mess up , keep them going enjoy watching .
Glad you got to share some of the first day with little mister. You were right: he's the only one more excited about harvest than you, and growing fast! Safe harvest!
Great video as always Andy! I was just thinking how lucky you and your family are to be able to make these videos. I would give anything for my dad or grandpa to have had a Go Pro or phone to record themselves in the field back in the day! Whatever happens with your channel in the future your son and family will be able to look back at these videos as treasures for sure.
I have thought of that many times. Even if I stop making them, they will always serve as a time capsule of days-passed. Thanks for the great comment!
great Video to watch during the final hour of dinner prep.
I'm a mid-summer kind of guy. Because i love the warmth.
I don't blame you... summer is usually an enjoyable time of year!
Can't wait to see you catch up to the "big guys" of Farm-TH-cam. 30k here we come!
Those are lofty ambitions. I enjoy my audience now… there are a lot of really good people in the comments. Thanks for watching!!
I always liked Fall, ready for another year of deer hunting. Watching a lot of farm equipment working on so many farms. Each farmer is unique, as to liking and buying a certain brand of equipment. Always wanted to be a cattle rancher, but no family farm to build on, so money issues are always important in food production.
Cattle ranchers will tell you that they don't have money either... just goes with the territory! I agree about the diversity across farms. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Thanks for watching!
Your videos are the BEST!!!! Along with your very informative bantering!!!! To COOL good for you and FAMILY!!! Little guy to COOL!!!!!
Glad you like them!
I like your music choices especially in the drone shot, it was not the same TH-cam music everyone uses. It fit really well with your videos. Thanks for explaining things the what how but also why. I feel I could go farming after watching your videos ( obviously not that easy but you get my point) as a long time subscriber I know your family isn’t keen on being on video but a sit down especially your dad and talk about the changes he has seen and what was it like when he was growing up. Also your sister a get to know her. Again thank you, I was in. Bad accident 7 years ago and I’ve had to go from being super active to lots of surgeries and down time. Videos like yours do so much for me, day dreaming about being out there in the field. The sights, sounds, smells o miss it dearly so thank you.
The music choices can be the hardest part of editing those videos. There is an art to all of it. I am trying to get them on camera more, but everyone moves so quickly that it can be challenging. I am sorry to hear about your health issues, but I am happy that I can offer you some insight into our farming operation. I hope everything continues to get better for you as time moves on. Thanks!!
I love watching your operation. In comparison to some of the larger farming channels, you are starting to inch your way up there! You’ll be at 100k before you know it because it isn’t just for entertainment, it’s also very educational as I usually learn a thing or two. I love learning and I love the big machines. Keep at it, Andy!
That’s a nice compliment. I appreciate your viewership!
Nope I'm a spring guy , the weather starts to get warmer and even thing starts blooming the trees get green flowers all pop out while that color I just love spring
Have a great harvest, get it done before the missip runs out of water. Stay safe!
That's the talk of the countryside nowadays. Thanks for watching!
This is the only other farm channel that dose it just as good as millennial farmer
Great video Andy. Wishing ye a great and safe harvest guys
Thanks, you too!
I love the starter on that tractor lol
It’s amazing how accurate farm sim is to the real world that it got even that right!
As a farmer that has played farm sim, it is pretty neat to see how close the equipment is to real life. Thanks for watching!
Springtime is my favorite time of year for one most of the time everybody is completely tired of winter and finally are glad to hear the birds singing and the sun actually having some warmth on you and then of course it's the beginning of Life I mean you start to see the grass turn back green and you start seeing the leaves back on the trees you know where all you looked at is dead trees all year I hate winter time because not only is the days shorter so it's almost like you get up in the dark and you go back home into bed in the dark because you only got so many hours in a day but everything's so dead and dreary so spring time to me is just like being born again you know every year you start to see Life come out flowers the bees you know just life itself starts to live again and if you like me you have a little bit of depression that hangs over you through those months trying to get through it and that depression kind of leaves and the days start getting longer so that means what you either going to work long days which most of the time we end up doing but if we do get those days where we got some time to get off we still got some day like to actually do something other than work we're in the winter time you pretty much just have work cuz it's dark and what the heck you going to do in the dark just go inside you know what I'm saying just you just sitting there watching TV and sleep is off is weird because where you usually don't get dark till 8:00 and 9:00 so then you only have a couple hours we can go to bed now you're sitting there for 4 hours really with nothing to do cuz it's dark and your inside where you usually aren't inside you know you stay outside till dark cuz it's always something to do if it ain't nothing but just enjoying the night evening or the evening evening
15-20 minute videos are more desirable to watch rather than 30+ minute ones
Understandable. This video was more like a movie, and I know people have things to do. It’s hard to compromise on quality/content just to keep it short. Thanks for the feedback!
Great start to harvest Andy, awesome to see Lenny enjoying some time with dad too! Keep the great videos coming and hopefully everything keeps rolling smoothly this fall for you guys
Thanks, Steve!!!
Edimame steamed and salted with Ashi Beer ! Perfect start to a beautiful Sushi Dinner !
Great videos Andy. Been watching your channel for a few months now. I started at the beginning so I’ve had to play catch up. Great production and we like the sarcasm.
Joker you keep everyone moving ,love the family run farm . Keep it going . Good video thanks for the info.
Thanks for the comment, Jerry!
Thank you for sharing your video with us, it's very educational for us...
I am glad that you enjoyed!
Awesome drone footage! Thanks for taking the time to do that.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video , I've been a potato farmer operator for 22 years but I love combines 😍
Trippy, the smile on your face says it all. Marty even seems to be in good mood. Brand new equipment getting dusty equals progress. Smooth running and keep it between the rows.🌽🌽🚜
Have a safe harvest season!
Thank you!!
Your weather right now looks fantastic for your harvest season. I couldn't be more excited for you guys. Stuff those bins tighter then 5 fat guys in a Pinto Andy. Best wishes in having a record breaking harvest.
Me and you are the same for fall my favorite time of the year because you get to see the leaves change, crops turning brown and gold and combines out in the fields everywhere you go and also my birthday is only 12 days away!! 🥳🥳
Great minds think alike. I hope you have a great birthday!
Google recommended me this video from my time playing Farm Sim and now im just sitting here watching, interested in how it all works and the huge machinery. Thanks for the great and well edited video.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
I’m a fall also. We always spend time ar my grandfather farm in the fall because of the harvest.
That’s awesome. Being with your grandparents around their harvest is something special.
I'm from Pennsylvania. I love the younger generation keeping their family traditions going. If it wasn't for the farmers of our country we would surely perish. Thank you to the men and women who wake up so early in the morning to provide for this nation. Thank you on behalf of my country.
Ya u love he younger farm gen that doesn't know how to shift a transmission, I don't understand.
Fall for sure! Right now, I’m on top of mountain in PA, leaves just starting to change. It’s also the time of year when we don’t run AC or heat!
Marty’s not my dad, but I still don’t want to upset him on day 1 of harvest especially!
I really like this video. Used to be a spring guy when I was a dairy farmer but now we do grain and fall is the fun time!
Watching your video here in
Alabama: used to live at
Bloomington and love harvest time up there.
Awesome. Alabama is an awesome place. We go down to the Gulf on vacation occasionally!
Wow what a harvest..great watching
Thanks for visiting!!
Hello Andy, glad to see the harvest is going well and my favorite season is fall as well. Sorry I haven’t been watching any TH-cam videos lately. My parents passed away in July right before my birthday. It’s really been hard on me. Hope all is well with you and your family, take care and God bless.
Mike, I am really sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that you find peace in your own way. Thanks for checking in, and I wish you the best!
@@aTrippyFarmer You’re welcome & thank you 🙏🏻
Andy
Great video
Really sweet how your able to explain your progress so clearly
Excellent video
Thanks!
AMAZING, Looking forward to the full harvest.
Thanks!!!
Living in central il Illinois I enjoy watching this the field across from my house is being harvested and beans are being harvested closer to town
A lot of combines running in Central Illinois these past two weeks. You never realize how much equipment is out there until it’s all out running in the fields. Best wishes!
Here in rural ranging a few fields are going but we don't have to much activity yet
*Rantoul
The grain cart looks great in the field ...
I agree I do love fall weather. I’m a retired telephone guy send this was always the best weather to work in. A close second is spring when the weather starts to warm up and everything comes alive
The 70F highs are as pleasant as you could imagine. It's great T-shirt working weather. Thanks for the comment!
One of the best farming/harvesting vidjas I’ve seen.
I’m biased, but I thought it was a good one!
Nice drone footage. Stay safe
Thanks!!!
You are starting to master this TH-cam thing Andy! Great footage and content. Keep going👏🏻
That's the plan!
Winter time stay cool 😎 that’s when
You work forget summer time
Great quality content wow. Loved the 1 hour amazing drone shot compilation as well!
Thank you!!
fall best time of year
Keep ‘em coming, your one of my favourites to watch. Love me some farming!
Thanks for watching!
Woo-hoo let's go Trip aka Andy! Harvest 2022!
Can't wait!!!
Nice to finally find a local area farmer on youtube. I am from around Hillsboro/Litchfield IL. Great videos, greatly appreciate the content and I love watching farming. Cheers!
Lenny!! He has gotten so big, growing into those big blue eyes. I love how he’s muting himself or he’d be screaming with excitement.
He loves the big equipment!!!
@@aTrippyFarmer Hopefully Lenny will keep the generational family owned farm rolling.
Winter time is my good time
I’m definitely an autumn guy. Despite living in the South, I don’t care much for hot weather. As an avid hunter, I love the fall woods and everything that goes with it. As an accomplished home chef, I love fall recipes. Great videos!
Thanks for sharing!!we done with corn and now we picking peanuts and getting ready for cotton.
Awesome to hear. Stay safe!!
Yea Harvest 2022...cool beans !!
Thanks for watching!
Fall is my favorite time of the day.
Year
Agreed!!
Good luck with Harvest
Thank you!
Summer because it is hot outside 😅
U have a great channel enjoy all your video's Trippy! Hope you guys have a good and safe harvest.
Thanks for watching!!!
Cmon Andy! Daily harvest videos!!!
I wish I could, but it just isn’t good for my health to facilitate that!!!
@@aTrippyFarmer I know you guys are busy as all get out! Just love seeing the harvest videos! Stay safe and keep going hard!
Andy,,,, we love our 410 tractors. They are beasts. They will pull an 8 bottom 18 inch switch plow with a sterling goose neck packer 12-14 inches deep and act like it’s not even there. They also handle our 16 row stack fold 3 point planters like champs. Expensive yes. But worth every penny.
I used to be the balancer between grouchy Dad and everyone else. Now it’s my turn to be grouchy harvest boss. There is a correlation between grouchy-ness and decision maker.
Your point about the decision maker and grumpiness is spot on. There is a lot to keep straight when you are the boss.
These 8R tractors are incredible. I wouldn't be surprised to see another one here by next spring for the other planter.
Loading and unloading grain carts are the best parts please have move footage of that!
Haha that’s like 90% of what I do!!!
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!
Thanks for always watching!!!
And that farm sim comments was perfect always thought that
It is true!
The fall is the best time of year. we got hunting season and cool weather here in Idaho. I like the video.
Great video Andy! can't wait to get more analysis from you on the next vid.
Favorite season is Fall! Harvest! Crops! and Deer!
I am not a Deer hunter, but I know a few. You are all a crazy group!!!
Looks like a great first day man, the best of luck to you and your family, stay safe out there, all the way from PEI Canada,
Appreciate that. Best wishes!!
Thanks for explaing as you go along. It has een MANY YEARS since I was involved in fall havest. Looking forward to more.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Spring all the “new” smell every year and everything growin for the first time for the year
I like your logic!
