If you get a response to your comment saying you've won something ITS NOT ME, ITS A SCAM! Report those comments PLEASE!!!
YOU WON THOOO
Will keep my eyes out for you, Zach & Becky.
So I didn't actually win a free piece of barbed wire? Bummer. :-/
Man we need 🌽🌽🌽🌽 Not Soy 🇺🇲🇵🇷👍🏽
Them stupid a**hole scammers
Serious theory: Ana has determined it is her job to warn everybody that a piece of equipment is going to move. Ana takes her job seriously. Ana is a very good girl.
She sort of makes a sound similar to the J D starter.
That’s so funny I literally just got on my phone to say exactly this. Not sure why but it hit me today too. Her body language almost looks like she’s warning people too. Good girl Ana
She's warning the kids...
I believe you’re correct about this! She’s not asking to get in. She waits to see if he’s going to start it or he’s just in the cab. She is vigilant about it like you said I completely agree that she is warning ⚠️ everyone .😏❤️🇺🇸🖖🏼
She’s just an undercover on-site osha official. No big deal
Not sure how many years I have been watching this channel, but every year, watching Zach and his dad work together give me joy. My dad and I never farmed, but we cut a lot of firewood. We spent so many hours cutting wood together, we didn’t even have to talk, just gestures and looks we know what needed to be done. That’s how I see Zach and his dad working, and I love it. Onyx will likely be next up in the process! Keep it going Zach, our country exists in large part for families like yours!
I'm very jealous of the relationship Onyx and Zach have with their dads. My dad never showed any interest in doing much together.
@@Studio23Media if you are a dad or when you become a dad, you can turn it around with your child. It is never to late!
I swear him dropping the phone and asking
" you guys alright?"
Has weirdly become one of my favorite parts of these videos 😂
I was afraid he rolled the tractor!! AAghgh!
Same!
I’ve started asking dead’s rodents if they’re ok as well. So funny
It’s a camera
I'm waiting for the "Are you ok?" t shirts and hoodies 😂
I never thought about a farm being broken up into wide spread fields. I always pictured a farm as a HUGH single plot of land. This is a fascinating channel. It really makes me appreciate farmers. I will never be impatient if caught behind farm equipment on the road. I will slow down & put my 4-ways on and do everything I can to help and for the farmers safety. God bless the farmers of the world.
What i really like about this whole channel, which i've been following for 3 or so years now, is that there is so much going on that is more important than the youtube videos. It's a channel with substance. Thanks for having us along for the ride!
This comment means more to me than you know, thank you!!
Absolutely Zach watching everything you go through day by day the way you convey yourself leaves most you tube channels for dead. It wouldn't be easy keeping the level of content you have going just fantastic mate well done
From one farmer to another, it truly is incredible how much time and effort you put into the channel. I watch your videos every day we are in the field, always learning something from you guys! Really appreciate you sharing your operation and your life, you and Becky do an excellent job! Also best of luck on your season and stay safe
@@MillennialFarmer Very happy to hear that, thank you. All the best to you and yours!
I agree with you. I've been here since 70k subscribers and it's one of only two channels that I never miss a single video of.
Hello from Ireland, great progress, I hope ye were ok, with the storms on the 30th, it looked WET,
Fun fact. You can uncheck the box on the row that’s giving issues and the planter will compensate by using the rows next to it. The alarm will not sound and active downforce will function as normal.
hope Zack reads this? if he does then he won"t have so much to stress about
That's actually a pretty smart workaround. See, John Deere engineers CAN be consumer friendly when they want to be. 🙄
472 acres,with all you have been through,that's a hell of a day's work.Great job👍🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽
Absolutely love the personality man! Thanks for feeding the masses
I hope John deere receive an email everytime a sensor get an error code.
That would make sense since they are tracking everything on this tractor, even how many time Zack uses that washroom inside the track.
more concerned with kernals in the ground and harvest counts so they can control the market what a dirty world I live in and I'm a sinner tooooo
They hired the Clinton’s to help with emails.
They would be forced to abandon the account because you couldn't do anything with it. It'd just be constantly streaming in alerts faster than you could read them. 🤣 I wouldn't at all be surprised though if they do have and track data regarding how many alerts are thrown for each type of sensor, tractor, etc.
Glad to see the tractor and planter are working ok now. Best wishes from a Swedish viewer.
Good job! The 500 acres you planted today is bigger than what we farmed in 1969.
While I'm busy lamenting the insane hours I've spent sitting here watching people I will never meet cultivate next year's gasoline additives, I say Becky deserves all respect for the excellent work she does, and ten times the hours she burns behind the scenes as a mom, wife and video producer. Hats off to her.
Minnesota can't catch a break from the extreme weather. Hope all is well.
The whole country has been having extreme weather. We’ve had 57 tornadoes so far this year in South Carolina, which is more than what we normally get in 12 months. Back towards the beginning of April we had an outbreak of 15 tornadoes in 2 days which ended up killing 3 people. The last time we had a deadly tornado was 2004. The tornadoes in our state are normally EF0s or EF1s that cause no damage but that storm made EF2s and EF3s.

The great lake is probably the culprit.
It's all Trumps fault
Climate change is coming for real...
From the Netherlands M&M are the best you can have. Good Luck farming , and keep it between the rows & on the black stuff✌️😀
I can't believe that how advanced and precise the equipment is yet you still have to write a cheque. Also mix chocolate and peanut M&Ms together 😋
Much respect to you and your family for persevering through this nasty spring and getting it done! Thanks for taking us along for the ride and hoping the weather straightens out so you all get as good of a crop as possible.
The game of farming is constantly throwing the farmer unscheduled issues that need to be addressed and dealt with constantly to keep up with the schedule. Days of farming is like a snowflake in that no two days are ever the same.
Man, you have more patience than I have. A LOT more. I would've been on the phone scheduling an air strike on the John Deere corporate offices a long time ago. That planter is shamefully underdeveloped.
It’s really quite a miracle that they can farm so many acres with 3 people.
Overdeveloped with shitty components that have been out sourced…….summed up the last 10 years of agriculture in that last sentence….👍🏼
Peanut M&M's are indeed the best candy. My wife considers the green and yellow ones as a daily vegetable serving. Great video!
The amount of knowledge in your head is amazing I have no idea how you keep it all straight praying you guys manage to pull off a decent crop for the good of the country saying a prayer for all the farmers to have a good enough season to keep us all fed through this shit year we are forced to get through
I actually have no idea what I'm doing most days 😂😂
@@MillennialFarmer Fake it till you make it.
@@MillennialFarmer As long as you do what Becky tells you to, you will be fine.
@@MillennialFarmer , yes you do, you just don't know it😀😀
great job ,glad to see the planter is working some better
I hope you, the family and the farm made it through the Memorial Day storms
Watching his instagram stories it looked like the worst of the storm missed the farm. They got more rain and some decent hail.
Literally reading the comments to see news about that storm. Thank you.
I learned long ago not to fight Dandelions. They are a friend and seem to love compacted soil. Their big long tap root will aerate and break up the soil and then they will fade away after the soil gets loosened. Also pull up calcium for other plants without as deep a root. Works wonders in orchards to uncompact from picking.
also good in salads…
I was thinking of you and Larson Farms, with all of severe weather in Minnesota yesterday. I hope it missed you guys! 🙏
Larsons have a bit more damage.
Thanks for sharing
Good job getting so much done in 2 days!!
Our best day planting cotton was just a pinch over 250 acres in 12 hours using four 1940 Farmall H's with four row planters. This was in spring of 1983.
Nice, good to see things getting in the ground
Glad you are pounding out the acres and getting seed in the ground n hope it takes off n produces well.
Glad to see your catching up on your planting.
Wow! 472 acres in one day! Sweet! That's the beautiful thing of having large fields! Around here our largest single farm is 60 acres! Lol and of course you're pulling a house of a planter! We spend the majority of our time moving from field to field! But man! Oh how we need some rain in this part of NC! It's dry as a bone! We just got thru planting peanuts and almost had to stop because of no moisture! Smh Glad yall fellas got on a roll and yet praying for recovery from the tornado!
The peanut M&M's are right up there with the Snicker's bar, but it seems like the factory has been making some changes to the old Snicker's...I might concede and agree to the peanut M&M "vitamins" . It sounds healthier if I add the vitamin bit. Great Day Zach!
Sure makes her pull when that planter is down. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
This is really superb content, folks. I've never watched a bad video from you guys, its always interesting and entertaining. Good luck with the growing season from Ireland!
Points awarded for mentioning BLS in the video. Thanks Zach
Way to go! We are all rooting for you and all farmers! God Bless!
Dude you scared the crap out of me around 25 minutes. I thought you rolled the tractor making the turn! And you sir are absolutely correct about the peanut m&m's!
Hey Zack, I saw that nasty storms went through northeast of you. Hopefully you didn't get whacked again. Best wishes on getting the rest of your planting done with no major issues, you've had your share this year!
Good to see you knock out some acres Zach! It’s been tough, in the Midwest-East Coast for weather.
Keep up the great work! Farmers keep the world moving💪🏻🚜👨🏻🌾
Thank you so much for filming your days. If I was able to come and help then I would be there to do anything needed.
Good work day, Zach! I love seeing you and your family on here. Especially your dad. One question: Do you all have a party after harvest?
I am so glad for you. You've had a rough Spring. You needed this break!!
When I heard last night that your area of Minnesota just south of the interstate was possibly having strong weather I actually went and looked up the storms around you.
just like I would for one of my children scattered around the country.
Iam a farmer but also find myself checking his weather also! To funny.
Good work on having a productive day! It's fun watching your videos! Thanks!
I mean. The demand created this need for more “efficient”. Seems to me like we’re still trying to keep up. It’s a crazy time to exist on this earth. Kudos and love to you and your family Zack(ch?)!!! Thank you for your care of the land!
Glad to hear someone else uses 24-hour time as well. It just makes sense.
Thanks for another great video Zach and Becky for editing.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Congratulations!!!!! You got almost 500 acres planted without a huge breakdown or huge sensor problems.
Feel good for you that you finally had a real good planting day-ya!!!!!!!!!!!
Except for your wet spots things went pretty good. Harvest may be a little harder with working around the rows and wet spots but the seed is in the ground and that is what counts. Can put up with a few things at harvest versus planting.
Nice job Zach and Dad on getting seed in the ground.
Great to hear about your new storage building. Will give you more room and nice to have doors on each end. Good deal!!!!’
Upper Minnesota had bad weather again, glad you did NOT get it. Go away bad weather.
Love your seed tender. Real nice unit.
All for now. Will be quiet for a change.
You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Zach and Dad and Becky. Appreciate you keeping us in the loop.
The Iowa farm boy.

Good job, another super video, Thanks Zach and Family for sharing your experiences with the rest of us. 500 acres WOOT !!!
I'm so glad to see things finally going somewhat better for you guys. As always thanks for bringing us along with you.
I wonder if JD will be redesigning those ExactEmerge row units to have some better quality sensors? Or maybe it's an electrical issue with the voltage supply to the sensor? Possibly a wire harness issue? 🤔🤔🤔
Cannot imagine trying to debug this stuff while trying to get 1000 acres planted while having limited weather windows. Hopefully the kinks get worked out and soybeans goes smoother.
Considering that just a week ago you guys were water logged out of your fields
I'm glad you and the family are safe and well. Glad you are finally able to plant. As always good luck and God Bless.
It’s so good to see after a crappy start and everything how you’ve all kept your spirits so high, good to see you’re getting there now though god bless you all
A tornado passed just west of glenwood where John Deere is located
honestly you are so lucky to be farming... i used to help out with harvesting/planting back when my aunt and uncle were still around, i miss it so much and i follow your channel to bring back the good memories, thank you! I'd love to do it again someday.
Nice work Zack!! Nice to see 800 acres behind you. Cheers
So impressed with the amazing amount of work necessary to do the planting, praying for your safety 🙏🙏👍👍
Love your style in all your videos! Informative, funny, sarcastic and you don't just show the best parts of the work all of you do. It's hard work but I love watching the details! If you need a farmhand from California with exactly zero experience, let me know!
Turns out to have been a best day ever!!!! So nice to see that happening on the farm. God’s blessing on your efforts, all of you.
You give the Non-Com farmer The Birds Eye View Of Being Right at home doing what's a Life. Thanks!
Zach, make lemonade out of lemons - Turn a part of the empty section of grove into a Blueberry or Haskap rows and mulch the rows with the pines, just a thought. Haskap is easier to manage and doesn't need the acidic PH that BB do.
Edit; Kinda wish you could pull the seed cart/truck w/ the planter to the next field to save on commuting time I bet it's a lot of shuffling back and forth.
They do this with fields further from home, this vid is on fields close to home.
Good to see that you guys have been working your tails off despite al the setbacks this spring… you dealt with the conditions and perseveared.
Does it ever cause a problem when you take the planter apart and drop a bunch of seeds? I've always wondered that when you do that with seeds or even fertilizer. Also, peanut butter M&M's are pretty darn good too.
not really
So happy for you that you got all those acres planted. Gotta agree with you about the m&m peanuts Zak, they are soooo good.
I glad you’re finally knocking some acres out. Hopefully the weather will hold out and your planter doesn’t have anymore problems than it’s having right now. You can plant a lot of acres in a short time with that massive planter when it’s working correctly.
I am really happy that planting season is going great for you after your crappy start... and the planter is working-ish keep it up
Sensor issues aren't so bad when you know to ignore them. I mean that thing also went through a tornado, so I think it being a little wonky is okay.
Until one doesn't let you do anything. Had a hydraulic oil extremely low sensor go bad and wouldn't let me do anything until I unplugged it lol.. but you still have flashing stop machine NOW lights flashing at you
Yes the problem is the sensor issues that shut down the planter and won't let you do anything. Technology is great. When it works.
You make this look so easy, again appreciate your positive attitude when things are going wrong.
Just wondering, did you check your hydraulic oil level? You had that leak the other day.
Great job of pressing on through all the sensor issues and other things.
Don’t worry JD is adding sensors to detect when those gage wheel tensioners get loose. 2 per 👍🏻
They need sensor sensors to let you know when the sensor is about to stop sensing! 😂🤷🏻♂️
Keep up the great work! Summer and hopefully some much deserved R&R will be in store for you.
The more problems with software I see, and the short fuse of my temper, I think I will stick to old tractors for sake of my own health.
Very good day. Glad to see you knocking the acres out!!
GOLLY, I sure hope everything is okay after last night's tornados
problem is you gotta plant it, so that takes valuable planting time away from the main crops. in a normal year sure but not this year
@@dralord1307 you plant tornados?
@@Nathan660 hmm replied to something different but for some reason its on this.
It's really nice to see all the hard work you put into your farm. Sorry to hear about all the trouble your having with these People trying to scam off your hard work I'm sure that I speak for not only me but almost everyone on here that we are great ful that you are telling us about what going on.
I bet a fair bit that the tractor had a key authentication fail.. happens occasionally on the 6155R I drive in England and does the same, fires up then switches back off moments later. Love the video as alway.
I watched the weather system this past holiday weekend that ripped through you, Larson and Sonny farms area's. You 3 were along that line of low pressure. Strong thunderstorms, high winds, hail and the possibility of tornados for 3 days straight. Rough spring but it appears your weather from here on out will average back to normal. Best wishes on a tough Spring planting
Real glad to see you catching up at a good pace after everything that's held you back. Now we hope for a warm autumn.
Hey, the damn thing finally actually WORKED more or less right! That's awesome!
God Bless our American Farmers. Been keep all yall in my prayers as of recent. People do not understand just how important this yrs crop is going to be to this Nation. Pray for our Farmers people everything in on their shoulders atm.
KY Sam retired heavy equipment mechanic [coal mining] love the videos you have a great crew [KY]..
I am so glad that it only took 32 minutes for me to watch all 500 acres.... I am exhausted now too... Keep up the good work!
I have tremendous respect for the long hours, hard work and complex machinery that till, sow and harvest our food. Thank you for what you do. We take our food for granted and these videos are the perfect reminder for what it truly takes to feed the world.
After the spring that you have had, I pleased for you that your making decent headway.
Bon courage à vous pour la suite, enfin une journée sans trop de problèmes👌👍
Zach with the air being more dense at night puts drag on the planter is why you slow down at night. Not to mention the forces that the lights are pushing against the planter. Man do i have a head ache from when we fell coming into the field off the road. And i have a weird sweaty foot smell in my nasal passages. It’s just one of them days i guess.
Amen on the peanut M&M"s. Enjoy so much listening to your funny comments and your wit. Glad you guys are finally making progress.
It's been a rough spring all over MN. Watching you plant on TH-cam in my shop as I watch the neighboring farmer get his beans in finally. We haven't had damage, but many inches of rain in the last month to the point I have the other neighbors corn growing in my yard due to flooding and the seed getting carried out of his field.
I look forward to your videos, & really like how to cut up on camera. Thanks so much for the Boss Lady behind the scenes for doing a great job posting the vids. Hi from Dennison MN AKA farm country south.
*- I know you mention the convenience of having a John Deere Dealership close by.*
*- I have noticed is that the Horsch planters never seem to need any tending to at all.*
*- The problem is they are way too small for you.*
We’re almost there Anna!! Almost a million!!
When the 📷 camera fell...I thought we rolled over ! 🤣💯🥁👍💪✌
I was 12 in 1966 when dad told me son we have work to do.. Are power tractor was a 4020 john deere diesel. Are row crop tractor was john deere 70 tricycle front wheels. Are planter was a 4 row mounted, markers up and down with a rope. Times have really changed young fellow.
I seriously thought you flipped the Tractor. Awesome special effects.
So I seen a thing that was super epic and I know would drive Zach nuts. Deere has a 120 ft air seeder planter, The DB120 It's massive. Also, Really awesome getting that many acres in.
Good to see you finally got that thing working, and you are making time, and you had a nice day, been nice back here in Northern Maine, bit windy, and a chance of frost tonight, go figure the end of May. Double D.
That last fall hurt my neck Zach, easy on the turn in please!!! lol.
My hat off to all you farmers as each season is a gamble on what the harvest yield will
I love how your dad wears the yellow fuzzy gloves year round. My dad does the same thing.
