I guess I was never meant to receive any money from that African Prince.... I hope I can get my job back.... Lots of middle fingers and confused faces when I walked out
The fact that your Dad opened that corn bag while wearing those floppy OG yellow farm gloves shows he is the real deal. Pure skill to pull that thread with gloves on.
If there's anything left of the Great,Great,Great grandparents place it'd be really cool to see it. In the days of everyone moving all the time and families being spread out over the country and the world it's really nice you're working the same fields they did. I'd give a lot to have that in my life.
@@MillennialFarmer It's the cycle of life - at least my great-grandparents' house from the late 1800s still stands, but it has a shake roof in a wet climate and my aunt who owns it now is going to let it rot into the ground, so I take pictures of it every time there aren't tenants living there just to document it. The barn and most of the outbuildings are already gone.
@@MillennialFarmer i was told once at a seed meeting, that you should plant less population of beans on your good ground and more on your poor ground. I guess the thought is to increase competition on the poor ground and get taller more bushy beans...? Sounds kinda backwards, not?
Zach - You are probably the best one handed farmer in Minnesota. That's what she said. Glad to see you are making progress with spring planting and thanks for all the videos.
A tip for twine, weeds and tall grass wrapping. Get a Stanley utility knife and get the carpet blades for it. They have a hook with the sharp edge on the inside of the hook. I grind down the sharp point a touch so not to dig into seals. Then go to town on it and slash and pull. It cuts through AND pulls the stuff loose. Works on tillage, mowers, cultivators, etc.
To a floor guy, carpet blades are entirely different, thin and scary sharp ones, the ones you mention are hook blades, and after your comment I'll keep a knife with hook blades, for weed eater though, I don't have a farm 😫😫🎻
My Dad was a Milkman/arable farmer in the 1970s, when he came out of the Army, we live in the UK, it was a brilliant start in life for me, I so enjoyed it. Watching people farm today gives me so much enjoyment.
We live in Northern Virginia surrounded by trees, traffic and hills. Your videos take me back to growing up in Northeast Arkansas and being surrounded by rice and soybean fields. I enjoy your videos.
I appreciate that you're a mellow guy that rolls with the punches. Farming can be tough enough without being pissed off all the time. My dad used to get so mad he'd break stuff venting his anger.
Love the sunshine.. happy the spring planting is getting done.. you guys set the bar high for the farming industry.. love the laughs and positive attitude even though it is difficult…. Thanks for sharing
To immigrants from Sweden the Minnesota winters were mild, but to me I live on Ga-Fl coast line it’s too cold. I love watching these farm sites because it shows our true backbone people of this great country. When you got into the end result of the great American farmers , food choice that is great that feeds this great Republic.For this I say thanks to all of our great farmers you are our true heroes of the land.
The way your dad and Jim just hop in there and start tossing bags (beeeeggggs) of seed around I think it might be time for a tribute video showing these two old time farmers getting after it! Like you I am a millennial... except I grew up cutting wood, splitting wood and stacking wood! Most of the time I enjoyed it, some of the time it got frustrating and a few times I absolutely hated it! The fact your get to work with your dad every day is something I wish I had!! Keep'er between the rows!!
I'm a farmer from Brazil (Mato Grosso State), this idea you had on putting a basket in front of the machine is really good, but we dont usually have stones here where i plant. Thanks for your content, it is always really nice o watch and learn new stuff from the usa farmers.
I'm not the type that enjoys other peoples troubles, so you having a boring day is fine by me. Not saying you shouldn't record your equipment issues because it's great to see how you solve some of your issues. Great video today Zach!
It’s always good to know that your getting closer and closer to the end of the seed planting and get on with something else that needs to be done. I really appreciate your videos 🚜🛺🤠😇🤗🤠
we are planting all soybeans this year down hear in nc because corn is exspensive to do and we have good rotation we have had so many breakdowns on our older planter so ive been planting all by myself and have about 2,000 acres left started at 4,200 . great video love watching
If you don’t mind me asking what part of nc are you in we are over here on the coastal part of nc and we got about 2000 acres of corn and I believe close to 3000+ acres of beans including our dual crop beans after wheat. But with the prices here this year i Understand totally
Something for you to always remember Zac. NEVER take a suppository and a sleeping pill at the same time.🤣🤣🤣 have a safe planting season !! Keep up the great videos.
Zach.... it is never boring with you and your crew! Love watching you all do "stuff"! Glad you are putting in beans! Rocks are disgusting! Nothing worse than getting a rock lodged in somewhere it shouldn't be! Can't wait to see what your next video is all about! Until then ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🌽👌
Thanks for another great video Zach. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure as always. Congratulations on getting the corn in the ground and now on to soybeans. Ya!!!!!!! Thunder!!!!’ Do not remember how you started that but seems everyone liked it. The thunder machine is a nice one. Neat. Great to see Onyx getting in planter time. Good for him. Great to see all of the family taking part in the operation. Need that to make it all work. Thanks to Jim also. Great group of people. Another guage wheel for the planter. Must be three or four you have replaced. I assume it is the rocks that bend them. The bearings on the field digger will need checked on I bet. From what you showed us lots of twine catch up in the bearings on the wheels. Another farming job to do. Thanks for the video today. Had lots of variety. Saw everyone also. Neat. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything Zach and family. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
When Zack spoke about his family owning the land since way back when, it had me wondering if they have ever had to take troublesome employees to 'The Train Station'?
Not that I'm aware of, however, 110 years ago there was a triple murder (3 farming brothers) right up the road from our farm. A few years later, great great Grandpa swore off one of his sons and left nothing for him in his will. Nobody knows why. It leaves curious kinds wondering..... that's a true story.
@@MillennialFarmer That is interesting for sure. I love the fact your family has been there since the beginning. You can be proud of that. Good luck in all you do.
@@jimlangley840 Where I used to work we had spiked harrows on the front of the planter then of course the planter and then a roller. It worked out really nice for leveling your fields. But we never had planters like yours or rollers like that.
As someone who grew up around cattle farming, I wholeheartedly understand the eating after touching dry manure. When I was little my dad and grandpa would take me out in the old international tractor to feed cattle. Great grandpa took me out fairly often to bale hay. Love seeing you have your son out there.
Man, I give a lot of credit to your father and Mother Zach you are a generation that is working just as hard or even harder due to climate change so thank you for your tips and instructions as you go ahead every day. Bless you, all man~Oh I just got my first order of the drink you suggested so I will keep you up on my functions =)
Thanks for your channel and videos. I have nephews who are grain farmers in Illinois and watching them gives me a better understanding of what they do and their challenges.
the boring days are always the best days, just ask any soldier, farmer, mechanic, and truck driver. But the other days, are character building days, teach you how well you can deal with things going wrong one thing after another.
Zach, with the recent frustrations that you've had, I'm GLAD to see you have a "boring" day! And a video with "THUNDERRRR!" is always a good sign!!! LOLOL
Careful with the seed bags. Our dog was poisoned by feed bags years ago. We were fortunate to have a awesome Veterinarian. Almost lost him at six months, he lived to one month shy of fifteen years old. Best wishes for a good season.
Quit talking about me on the show without some royalties! 😂 Love that y’all are still dealing with frost in the ground and we’re 90 degrees all day for the last couple weeks
If you get a response to your comment saying you've won something ITS NOT ME, ITS A SCAM! Report those comments PLEASE!!!
Will do, sir.

I agree. I do too!
Agreed
The fact that your Dad opened that corn bag while wearing those floppy OG yellow farm gloves shows he is the real deal. Pure skill to pull that thread with gloves on.
I’ve been waiting to hear that beautiful phrase ever since the last video it was included in.
Hope your planting continues well!

I agree with 1976, as a cleaner and repairer of carpet, it sounds more like a vinyl installer blade that you are speaking of.
My Dad was a Milkman/arable farmer in the 1970s, when he came out of the Army, we live in the UK, it was a brilliant start in life for me, I so enjoyed it. Watching people farm today gives me so much enjoyment.
I love it when it’s a simple planting day, even though I’m in Nevada I get stressed out when I watch your videos and things aren’t going your way.
Zack “Thunder! You guys still like that” The rest of his Fanbase, YES it’s literally farming ASMR!!
Country?
@@hockey161616 lol I changed it too farming idk why I put country
We have one at work, every time I see it I have to whisper it.
I couldn't have said it any better!
He didn't let us down.
When he mentioned it midway through the video I was disappointed in his mention of it. But Zack made it happen.
Your son is going to be a great farmer, he's truly a nice young man👍
Zach, you're a dork and we love ya for it. Lucky guy with your kid swinging by to ride with his old man. Takes me back.
I don't know why.....but the "Thunder" things never gets old.....lol
Start passing this channel around to all your friends and family. Anna is getting very close to an on camera tractor ride!

Zach, good to see you are planting! Been a difficult year for farmers. We finally finished planting yesterday in Miami Valley region in OH.
5:57... such a brave man
Glad you got the corn in and the planter isn't giving you problems every other second love your videos
Backing the truck up to the planter with the bags sure brings back a lot of memories.
It was a nice change of pace to see everything go well. Hopefully, it will continue for you.

Smiles on the faces of three guys and a youngster. No stress in the voice of MFB. That makes smooth enjoyable content.
The clip with all the kids and their MF clothing was heart warming to watch. They was all ever so happy! Keep doing what youre doing Zach!!

Nothing better than watching this guy after work and having a few cold ones.
"Black oak....that says goodyear on the side" 😂
Got a good laugh out of that as well.
Watching American Farmers and Ranchers is great, but watching you be you, makes your channel special to many.
Thanks for another great video Zach. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure as always.
Congratulations on getting the corn in the ground and now on to soybeans. Ya!!!!!!!

Love the videos
Glad to see soybean planting is going well so far and giving you a break from the drama of corn planting.
Hi Zach. Did you ever try hauling the roller behind the planter? Great video,always entertaining.
That would take a lot of HP.

90k more subs until 1 million then the dogs gets to ride in the tractor😂
Maybe he will make 1 million by harvest. Love to see her in the combine.
A boring day for what you all have been through in the past few months is perfectly fine. Just happy that you are finally getting the planting done!
great showing preflight checks before using the machinery. A lot of guys jump in and take off without even checking the oil.
Thanks for sharing your day with us and letting us tag along
Yep, perfect timing on the lunch break!
yes we enjoy the Thunder thing, never stop doing it!

like that - 'the good bad and the ugly' seems like a good description of farming
Keep them coming buddy! You and the Larson's have a real operation
Happy you had a boring great day!! Loved seeing Onyx and Jim is always fun.
it's never a boring day,! your knowledge is priceless!
Congrats on getting corn all done and a good start to planting beans. Good luck catch you on the next video
Thunderrrrr. LOL Glad you have the planter sorted this year. Hope it continues.

Great job Onyx being the spotter !!!
Congratulations on getting all the corn in. I hope to see some beautiful tall corn stalks in those fields by September.
Immediate thumbs up for Thunderrr.
Even your 'boring' videos are always interesting. Today I learned how to change over a planter
5:54 - when your dad drops the bag instead of handing them to Jim - Jim's face...
Love the back story of the land.
