Charlotte is a beautiful young lady! I'm glad to see all your children in different machines, learning the work. You're a great dad, and you have some very special kids!
You remind me of my dad and how calm he was with us learning to do things - although I never drove a tractor, or combine. It shows that your kids enjoy farming because you make it fun for them. Well done!
Good to see your youngest running the cart. I was the oldest of 5 kids on the farm. I was on a tractor by age 10. My sister under me ran a swather for dad on 1000 acre alfalfa farm and did all the cutting. Mon and brother and Dad ran three JD 214 wire tie balers and I ran the bale wagon. Family tims together are always life time achievements. I'm 69 now and these videos with family involvement always make me think about good times in years gone by.
I think my favorite part was the end where Andy was talking with his kids in the background. Jr.’s pants were dirty and he complained about losing his AC. Now that is a farmer in the making! Well done to Charlotte for her first cart work - when she starts complaining about the combine driver she will be an official cart operator.
Charlotte is not afraid of work or running equiptment. Everybody started out like her one time as a beginner, even her dad ! Great to have the family helping and learning.
Here in michigan we had really good wheat this year. Ours yielded 110 bushels an acre average. We only had 800 acres in this year . This fall we plan on planting 900 acres . We have been harvesting wheat for other farmers and doing bales. We do large squares for local dairy farms. In our area the straw is more valuable than the grain to the dairys. Great to see your children involved in farm . Grandpa always said Every combine operator should run grain cart once to feel the pressure mostly because we run 2 combines at harvest . Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
Sorry not being rude but I had to have a giggle when I read that about you had really good wheat this year at 110 to the acre, here in the UK most farmers wouldn't even get there combine out the shed for less than 180 bushels per acre as they would say it wouldn't pay time you have drying costs and all to pay. Guess your luck with your weather being hot and don't have the to worry about drying the grain there like we do.
@@johns9315 that 110 was an average yield. We had 300 acres that yielded almost 175 bushels an acre. We plant winter wheat and we got a late season frost this spring. We farm 5200 acres of corn soybeans anf wheat . The wheat isn't our main crop it's just part of our crop rotation . Glad to hear that your wheat does that good. It really makes me wonder about what potential wheat has yield in a good climate . Thanks for the kind words. Stay safe and farm on!
I like you all using the old iron I know that you are proud of all of your kids working on the farm it's got to be a blessing for sure thanks for the video another great one
Awesome you're committed to running and fixing the old iron. Probably cheaper and more dependable than any new stuff. Couldn't agree with you more on having the kids run the little jeep. Your daughter did a great job!
Hello Andy, Beautiful farm and equipment. Great to see you involving your children into your operation, Charlie seems pretty comfortable/calm running the cart. Stay safe and God's blessings, Boe
Family affair. You have taught them well. Appreciate the confidence you have in them. It reflects in her response to you. Such confidence. I can do it after all my brother does it. Enjoy the videos. Thanks.
Fun to watch you teach your kids. I started driving our pickup to the other end during bean harvest. Instructions...follow the rows and if you can’t stop, turn off the ignition. That was in the mid 50’s
I grew up around the Massey Harris, Oliver and AC tractors and combines, I don't know how you modern farmers stay in business with the way grain hedging works these days. Glad to see strong Farmers. These city folks that think the grocery stores make everything are full of beans, without farmers we would starve.
I think it is awesome to see your whole family at all ages involved in the family business/life. You don't see that as much as you should everywhere. Thanks for the video.
Great family. Thats how farms used to be it was the same with ours everyone pitched in I started at 9 on a Massey 35X in 1964 but sadly had to pack it it in due to bad health so now I get my fix driving around on a 1974 MF 188 Multipower and watching farming videos, I’m sure your channel will grow as you all seem to be very nice genuine hard working people.
nice to see there kids willing to help out on the farm instead of playing video games , your kids are lucky to have a awesome farm like yours to work on, it would be my dream to be able to do the work they get to do, you should be very proud of your kids .
So impressive to see how your children can take on the challenges. Gives me hope that the snowflakes better watch out for your clan, they are going to do great things in life. Thank you and look forward to the next chapter.
Giving your kids confidence to do stuff is the best thing you can do for them. Good video too. Its seeding time down here in New Zealand and we are just getting some much needed rain. The wheat is in and last big block almost ready to be drilled with Kale for the neighbour's cows next winter. I hang about on a cropping farm, helping at harvest and maintaining the combines and other cultivation equipment. They grow everything from potatoes for seed, peas for seed and lots and lots of ryegrass.
@ Farming Fixing & Fabricating @ 0:47 As a farmer & equipment owner myself, may I make a suggestion? Wipe off that chaff & debris off the inlet cooling air side screens periodically when they get loaded up like that. It only takes a minute to brush 'em off. Just a suggestion. Your tractor's engine & hydraulic cooling systems will be very greatful! Seen too many people over the years let the radiators get all plugged up, leading to overheating issues.
good farm family ! This life is a great confidence builder for these young kids. Great to see them all enjoying this part of life. These days are difficult enough let alone working for Mom and Dad.
You are so doing it right with your kids. We never realize how much they watch us every step bringing them into your loop is a gift. Well done Great Videos as always love the Greta references BTW
My dad had me driving his pickup at 9, Charlotte looks like she is doing a great job, and how about Sarah becoming a trucker girl, raising them good Andy.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating That would be handy to have the longer auger. I like the camera on the top of the auger. Thats gotta make it nice filling trucks
You have several farmers in the making here, you show off, haha ;) On serious note, this is a good thing, and you learn them responsibility and driver skills that not many others will be able to match when they grow older, and a lot of job opportunities too :)
I'd say Sarah and Charlotte are very capable whether it is driving the truck full of bales, a tractor pulling the grain cart or what other equipment they can operate. Keep up the good work and stat safe.
I love the new header hookups they are the lot better than the old ones that u had to fight with and most of the times the old ones u would always pull the wires our when u in hooked the wireing harness
I thought Charlotte had already ran the tractor with the grain buggy on it. Your kids do so much on the farm (which is great), I forget which kid has done which job.
It's admirable that you train and allow your young kids to operate the equipment. These days society thinks it is slavery, child abuse and too dangerous for kids under 18 or 21 to operate equipment. There was a hardware store in my home town that was an enclosed system. The lid closed and was dogged down with either 4 or 6 dogs. To operate it required both hands to push start buttons with your arms spread out simultaneously. It had a large sign stating that no one under the age of 18 was allowed to operate it. At 16 they can drive a car on the public highways at 70 mph or whatever the speed limit is with millions of other people that their actions could effect but they can't operate a paint shaker! Your kids should also be proud they can do things that others would only be intimidated by.
Good job Bean ! You may think maybe the city life looks more attractive, but what you learn on the farm will serve you well in terms of responsibility.
@ Farming Fixing & Fabricating @ 17:45 Wonderful tractors. Ya just can't beat the 'ole "New Generation" 20 series John Deere tractors. The 4320 was known as the "Super 4020". As much as the 4020 is beloved by most, truth be told, it's actually a better tractor than the 4020, IMO. I miss my 1966 JD 4020. It was a great tractor. Rare too. She had a Levy Live Power hydraulic FWA and an M&W turbo on her. Had some money troubles about 15 years ago, and sold her way too cheap. Some Upstate NY fella that was a logger bought it. I truly regret ever selling it.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating : I honestly don't know. I sold it with a very large & very heavy crate full of extra Levy Live Power hydraulic front wheel assist parts. An extra belly pump, hoses, spare drive motors & a complete axle assembly with a decent wheel & tire on it. All 4 tires were pretty worn, the fronts were basically bald. 16.9-38 rears & 12.4-24 fronts. Rear rims were silver Unverferth replacement rims. Rim clamps had eyelets for the use of snap-on duals if desired. She had pile of front cast JD stacked plate weights on the nose, cast weights on the front wheels, cast weights on the rear wheels + the normal loaded Calcium Chloride rears for added ballast. She was HEAVY. Chrome straight pipe off the turbo, located in a separate custom hole in the hood closer to the operator, typical of a first generation M&W turbo kit for the 4020. There was a M&W block-off plate in the hood over the factory large round muffler hole location. Newer injection pump, no green paint on it. 12V Delco alternator. Single dry element air cleaner, no pre-cleaner stack, nor hole in the hood for one. Hood was nearly perfect, one stamped aluminum original "JOHN DEERE" side emblem missing & other one was still there but a little loosely attached. All tinwork & guards were present. By the serial number, she was a 1966 model year JD 4020. Synchronized transmission, dual rear hydraulic remotes, 3pt hitch with sway blocks, drawbar, good older faded original seat, most lights worked. Rear differential lock pedal was missing, but it had diff lock, it just was never used, and plunger was frozen up from lack of use. She had decent solid fenders with a few dents, several drilled holes in the top of the right fender where a 4-spool Cross brand hydraulic control valve once was mounted to operate various functions for a large tow-behind field spray-rig, a little lower section rust/rot typical of most older row-crop style rear fenders. I was the second owner. I bought it at auction from the original owner. He was a potato farmer from the Southern Tier, somewhere south of Buffalo, NY. Anyhow, if it fits that lengthy description, then that was my tractor. Wish I could get her back, but I realize it's pretty unlikely.
You’re awesome daddy Andy. I’m 45 and my wife and I just had a baby girl 6 weeks ago. My first child. Got two teenage step sons that wasn’t raised on farm and never had to work, so needless to say they still won’t work much and cannot get em to drive a tractor at all. I’m praying my little girl will be like little Ms Charlie. You couldn’t keep me off a tractor when I was 16 and that was back when all we had were convertibles (no cab) Both my step boys have figured one thing out in life so far, they know they don’t want to be farmers 🥵 Ps... we grow a lot of produce too and that’s a ton of bent over picking work and I think that turned me against it. And we’re in SC on coast and it’s usually 105F w 98% humidity, so I almost understand 🥵😂
Hi I watched this video in the UK, you are a lucky guy to have such an awesome helper as young Charlotte hope you buy her something great come birthday time. 👍
In past years, female children were discounted as to their abilities to operate farm equipment. Your girls are fortunate that their dad demonstrates his faith that gender does NOT necessarily determine capability but rather the only factor that matters is willingness to learn coupled w/ determination.
@assassinlexx Farming is too dangerous for women? That is your best chauvinistic logic? Perhaps we should all starve until the farm robot is invented. Wake up! Woman fly combat aircraft in 2020!
@assassinlexx Farming is much more mechanized today. Choppers, drive lines, sheer size, wheel loaders, combines, sprayers, trucks, much greater chance for injury if careless or over-worked. Many farmers harvesting thousands of acres. The 50's hazard, ?narrow front ends, roll overs.? Today much more complex, large horsepower, and Women can operate it all, given an opportunity. Neighbors wife runs a 500+ hp combine, 40 ft header, hills, sometimes 12 hours straight. 'Cause husband recognized her potential.
It's great to see the kids chipping in. I'm sure a pay check might have something to do with that. Andy you and your wife have done a respectful job raising some good kids. Hope your eye recovers soon.
Hell, I would have died for a cab, umbrella, or built-in radio. I had to carry my one speaker radio between tractors and hope my batteries didn't die in the middle of the day. I'd take having none of those over loading hay on a wagon by myself behind a square baler. I thought alfalfa was bad (heavy bales) until the only year we planted red clover. Talk about itchy crap, I thought it was 10x worse than milo dust!
I'm sorry Andy, but I laughed out loud when you said you were trying to keep "an eye" on what you were doing there! Not sure if you meant it to be, but it was a damn good pun!!
Awesome video as usual. When I was Jereds age I had a corner of the shop that had a pile of mufflers stacked up in it because every tractor had a straight exhaust pipe on it. I’m assuming he must have the same thing looking at those tractors lol
I started life one of 6 kids on a farm and did not get near min wage. Haha Charlotte, make sure you get paid something for your hard work. Growing up on a farm is awesome. Stay safe, machinery has its danger.

Looks like she has it under control. Well Done Charlotte!
We are almost done combining here in Washington this is my third year running the grain cart and I am 14
I have been running combine for 2 years I’m also 14 years old
How was the harvest? (I’m on an orchard in okanogan county)
Pacific coast piper Not bad we didn’t have much wheat
Dalton Weyns better luck next go round

Charlotte is a little more camera friendly than Sarah is!!
However, you can tell she is Sarah’s sister by that little smile when her dad asks her questions. Great family Andy!
I think it is awesome to see your whole family at all ages involved in the family business/life. You don't see that as much as you should everywhere. Thanks for the video.
Bless her heart. She is a tall one.Beanpole fits in a good way. Cheers

Andrew got out of the grain buggy job and back to his raking 😂😂
Farmers some of the hardest working people out there and honest and respectful I don’t think I ever met a mean farmer just great people ❤️

three of some of the best tractors JD ever made
I appreciate what farmers do and i appreciate seeing this content and thank you for the videos and great operations on the farm
My dad had me driving his pickup at 9, Charlotte looks like she is doing a great job, and how about Sarah becoming a trucker girl, raising them good Andy.
She did a great job on the grain cart Andy.
Yes she did,I would like to put a longer auger on it and it would make it easier to get of the side of the taller truvks
@@FarmingFixingFabricating That would be handy to have the longer auger. I like the camera on the top of the auger. Thats gotta make it nice filling trucks
It's great to start them young... man them old deeres sound and look great
Seems like everything went smoothly your daughter did good
You have some awesome kids and family helping farm that's the backbone of our country
What a lovely thing it is to see that your children want to get involved in the family farm bless you all
awesome. I always love seeing young people helping. Gives me faith in at least some of the next generation.
Dam Andy! Try not to bust your buttons. Your kids would make any Mother and Father proud! Thank you for taking us along on this journey called life.
That girl looks like a hand to me. What a great family you have.
Charlotte is looking very at home driving that big machine. Great video. I look forward to more from Charlie!
geez Andy with all these kids training you could go into half retirement mode. lol farmers never retire. great video
Andy, hope your eye gets better soon. Its awesome all your kids are involved in the farm
You have several farmers in the making here, you show off, haha ;)
On serious note, this is a good thing, and you learn them responsibility and driver skills that not many others will be able to match when they grow older, and a lot of job opportunities too :)
I'd say Sarah and Charlotte are very capable whether it is driving the truck full of bales, a tractor pulling the grain cart or what other equipment they can operate. Keep up the good work and stat safe.
I like Charlottes confidence....Good to see you don’t have a grease soaked rag covering your eye
I love the new header hookups they are the lot better than the old ones that u had to fight with and most of the times the old ones u would always pull the wires our when u in hooked the wireing harness
That's wonderful you're teaching your kids how to farm the best experience ever have God bless you and your family😁😁😁🙏🙏
Nice video. You got some awesome kids, boss.
Thank you for sharing with us.
those old relics....as u call em....amount to 146yrs old & still working........good driving miss charlie.....
Charlotte you did a great job you should be very proud of yourself! Andy you have a outstanding group of kids. Keep up the good work.
Your kids are lucky to grow up working on a farm like this.
What a great experience for them
Love the 20 series straw baling crew !!! Glad you have reliable help you can count on !!!
Oh the memories that brings back. First time driving truck along the combine. '52 IHC next to a 403 IH combine. About Andrews age.
I thought Charlotte had already ran the tractor with the grain buggy on it. Your kids do so much on the farm (which is great), I forget which kid has done which job.
Sarah was running grain buggy,this is Charlie’s first time
Great family you have learning the way my dad taught my brother and I .
Some of the best tractors Deere ever built we have 4320 with a 4430 engine and my dad and uncle had a 4620 long ago had a cab and it was powershift
You have an amazing set of kids Andy I wish kids today can take lessons from your kids they work hard an love doing it keep up the good work buddy
He's got one for every tractor lol
You have to be a proud Dad! You have great kids and I'm glad that they agree to work without too much fussing. :)
Love that you guys are right around the corner. I live Fabius/ New Woodstock area.

Not sure why you had to mention this. Women have been farming for years!
@assassinlexx The roll bar was invented by John Deere and they had a patent on the design. They gave that patent to all manufactures to use.
It's great to see the kids chipping in. I'm sure a pay check might have something to do with that. Andy you and your wife have done a respectful job raising some good kids. Hope your eye recovers soon.
You are raising some impressive children. Farm life is great for raising responsible kids.
Boy when I was 9 I was happy if the radio worked lol a/c wasn’t on our minds. Nice to see the family all working together!
Hell, I would have died for a cab, umbrella, or built-in radio. I had to carry my one speaker radio between tractors and hope my batteries didn't die in the middle of the day. I'd take having none of those over loading hay on a wagon by myself behind a square baler. I thought alfalfa was bad (heavy bales) until the only year we planted red clover. Talk about itchy crap, I thought it was 10x worse than milo dust!
Great video. Charlie is a natural and a great help. Have a fine upcoming week. 👍🏽🙂.
Farming is good for those kids! Bean is a cool cat, we’ve missed her. Still too cool for her glasses I see... lol.
Always believed farm kids are so much better prepared for life by experiencing so much
definitely
You got a top notch worker there.
I'm sorry Andy, but I laughed out loud when you said you were trying to keep "an eye" on what you were doing there! Not sure if you meant it to be, but it was a damn good pun!!
Lol
great video & take care what a great life you got their thanks for sharing
You have nothing but a great bunch of kids they are really good👍🙏
Thanks for the ride along Andy, all hands on deck contributing 👍👍
Awesome family 👍🏻👍🏻 great videos thanks
Another great video! Hopefully your children will run the farm for generations to come.
So good to see your family getting involved in farming
It's nice to see your kids enjoy running the equipment
Great video, love seeing your kids helping
I like the old tractors with open stations.
That’s good that she has confidence in herself. I know if I was around the equipment I’d be nervous.
You should be proud👍
Awesome video as usual. When I was Jereds age I had a corner of the shop that had a pile of mufflers stacked up in it because every tractor had a straight exhaust pipe on it. I’m assuming he must have the same thing looking at those tractors lol
Yes
Watching from henderson TN like ur videos
That grain cart is small but it gets the job done and is paid for!
Andy Your kids do a great job.
I started life one of 6 kids on a farm and did not get near min wage. Haha Charlotte, make sure you get paid something for your hard work. Growing up on a farm is awesome. Stay safe, machinery has its danger.
