- With the constant breakdowns on the Kinze planter, Matt temporarily turns over wheat harvest to Andy and Carter. He talks about the difficulties farmers face in transitioning the farm over to the next generation and taking a backseat in field operations. The J&M grain buggy has to go into the shop for some fabrication to keep it running. Matt talks about a field fire from the previous night.

Carter has the perfect voice for the audio and with him developing skills like welding he is a welcome addition to an increased roll in Griggs Farms LLC!!! Now if he can catch the bug, the next generation will be assured. He's got the smarts!
Good job Carter. Nice to see the young people get involved. Keep it up.
Carter done a excellent job,glad you have faith in him,we all do,team Griggs, god speed central Indiana,we need more Kelly
It's Great to see Carter helping out and stepping up a lot this year. Great Job young man!
So very great to see a farm video from Matt Kelly Carter and Andy really enjoy your videos thank you for them
Carter has grown and matured an unbelievable amount since last year, enjoy your time with him while you can!!
Yes he’s done a lot of maturing
Good Monday evening, Griggs family and Andy. It’s nice to see the younger generation helping out on the farm. Glad to see the harvest is off to a good start.
Good job keep the videos coming. One thing I know I can count on is a good video coming from you all
Always enjoy your videos always something going on the griggs farm.
Might be time for Carter to get a raise. Damn good job cutting wheat. Stay framing young man.
Wheat harvest looks like it’s going great. My buddies farm I visited was very similar in the fact it looked like 100+ bushel wheat, but wasn’t averaging but 65-75. Good on you for letting Carter run the combine and learn to weld!
Alright. Carter We proud of you Keep up the good work 💪
Looking good Matt& Kelly!
Right On, Carter! That was a lot better 'bead' than my first time trying to weld...
Props to the lad! Well done. Obviously he had a good teacher.
Over here in southeast Missouri with growing rice and also the amount of acres we farm we change augers in the grain carts every 2 years and we also change those head pieces and the big bolt that holds it on
I’ve heard rice is very abrasive. Everyone has always told me not to buy a combine that comes out of Arkansas
It's good management for any operation to be able to function without any missing team member.
I was impressed at a McDonalds a few years back
The Manager was sweeping the floor of the dining area. I took it as his employees were well trained and busy. They didn't need him and he had confidence in them doing their job.
In your case if any died or was incapacitated, the show must go on. When and if that happens is the Worst time for training. I'm glad your getting things in order. That's good management.
It does my heart good to see a young man take an interest in the family's business. So important nowadays. Congrats Carter, stick to it, believe me making your way into the world isn't as easy as many guys your age think it is. Consider those poor dudes who dedicated their lives for years on end to making "Nothing is faster than a Deere." Darn neared cried when I saw that news story. Have a JD hat I got for last Christmas, am now looking for a Case IH.
Great video❤!!
I like watching your channel
I was waiting for a piece of slag to fall on Carters crocs. No way you’d get me to weld with shorts on either
I know it is hard to leave the ceo chair to the younger generation but is the best i ever done . But it take some change in minds. Now i enjoy work agein
Carter reminds me of me and my daddy
Im we have things like youtube and etc for you too look back on especially carter always good to the younger generation stepping up to the plate to get their piece of the pie
That’s the main reason we started the channel. So we could look back years from now and remember what our farm was like
Only way to learn by doing it I’m sure that’s the way you are you have to get on the machine and to find out what to call about it’s annoying you or breakdown yeah Texas here Too how😊
Another great video. Proud of Carter running the combine and learning to weld!!
Hey Matt I know it’s early in the harvest season, but will we be seeing any preventative maintenance videos on the cotton picker in the next couple of weeks? Just curious. Stay safe and stay cool.
Not in the next few weeks
I like how carter said Kelly and dad like she not his moms 😂😂😂😂
Teenagers……🤦🏼♀️
Good afternoon from Northeast Mississippi- How many acres of wheat do you have? Your wheat looks pretty good to me-Good luck finishing your wheat harvest and planting your double crop soybeans-God Bless-
500
LoL if they don't stumble and fall they don't learn ,, miss running swather n chopper myself but at 58 with mising disks at the bottom of my spine that career is over lol
engine sounds better with new cam
It's time for you to take a break anyways old man 😅😅😅
Tylen love ❤😊
better they learn on a more laid back time than a oh shit we have got to rush them to learn cause you are down sick or something and have a load of break downs cause of a rush
Just curious, how did you get that pivoting spout on 7120?
Is it a factory option-retrofitted??
Never seen that till I started watching your channel.
It’s not factory. I had to retrofit the kit to fit my smaller diameter auger. I found an electric actuator online that would do the job and then wired in a 3 position momentary switch on the dash
When I walked away from the family farm was they wanted my money and hard work but not my opinion or to let me grow and plenty of other things that happened watching it fail is bittersweet in ways cause I'm sorry would fix alot and I could save it but thats not gonna happen so I'll just have to start buying when they start selling
I found your perspective on generational succession inspiring, however it remains unclear how we do that at scale. The average age of a farmer in the U.S. is close to 60 years old, and for every one farmer there are now 150 dependent American souls. We are losing ~2000 acres of farmland per day and based on current acreage prices, acquiring land is unattainable for most aspiring farmers (save for those fortunate enough to be bequeathed with the enterprise). In terms of policy there appears to be something fundamentally wrong, and I believe we are putting the country at risk by mortgaging the future to speculators and stock traders. How do we make farming an appealing option for the next generation?
I have been working on that with a few resources!!! Hoping to create a network for these young farmers who are willing and wanting to farm. But maybe not with their family. Its a work in Progress I am working on. 😃
