Only Jim would show up to see how things are when his own house needs work.
That's what neighbors do! Great people!!!
That's what real Americans do.
JBS
Been watching for several years and am saddened by what has occurred. However, your upbeat attitude in the face of this is to be admired. Stay strong in your faith!
Bc gets new equipment
@@air1060 new equipment isn’t always a positive. Still takes him a lot lot of work to get and find that new equipment, fight with insurance, set up the new stuff learn to run the electronics, lot of work. No one wants a disaster.
Always planting windows to deal with. Glad to know they are planting now.
Come on pal the shed would of been stronger if it was made out of cardboard and the silo looked as weak as an empty can of soda...I have NO idea why insurance companies pay out to these fackwit farmers who are allowed to build whatever they like and not according to any building codes...at the end of the day we end up paying for these fackwit farmers!
Having insurance....he doesn't care
Next time Becky scolds you for being out in a storm remind her that she once braved a pile of lumber, sheet metal, nails, and mud in crocs. 😂
😂
Easpesily when there not in sports mode.
Does removing the 2x4 fall under “right to repair” for JD. LOL. Glad y’all are safe.
Voids the warranty since it wasn’t installed at the dealer
The special effects this season are top notch. They really give the actors something to go off of.
Lol...cant wait for next season...
The effect budget Is a few million this year 🤣😏
Thank you for noticing! Redesigning the entire set was a lot of work for this season. Also building a "prop bin" from styrofoam was quite an undertaking.
@@MillennialFarmer nods, and greasing that sloped metal surface was a masterstroke.
@@MillennialFarmer are you going to get a new seeder or try fix the one you already have and is there any damage on the seeder with the big seed tank?
Becky: "I wasnt looking for a smart ass answer" A reply every husband has heard. Lol keeping it real.
At least he didn't get the LOOK 👀
@@theadmiral5425 or 'The Shoulder'
Cast Iron skillet and a porcelain rolling pin. I'm oddball out. Builds character I was told.
So far goose eggs and bruises.
Look at that!. Becky wasn't LOOKING for a smart assed answer, and one found her anyway!.
Hahaha the accent cracks me up.
In a previous video you said that you were "running out of things to do", sadly that problem no longer exists. So sorry to see such damage. I wish I lived closer to help. Stay strong and keep the faith.
he jinxed it
Eternal optimism is the blessed curse of Ag, and you sir are a pillar of strength and an amazing ambassador for the community. Your family is lucky to have you. You’re setting an incredible example for young dad’s and husbands everywhere through your channel and I appreciate your tutelage. Thank you for the reminder that family is number one and that Dads can hold things together while picking up the pieces. It’s going to be okay.
-CY Castor
At least you don't have to pour a pad for a replacement bin. So you've got that going for you, which is nice.
That alone will save them a good chuck thankfully
A 60000 bushel bin costs a hundred grand!
This could have been a lot worse, and I'm real glad to hear Jim's house will be okay. And if your planting stuff is in decent shape...whew hang in there and good luck with the planting.
So sad. Thoughts and prayers to you. I’m just a dumb ole retired welder but if I was closer I’d be donating my time to help you clean up an rebuild. Lots of love from up here in Maine. Thank you for all you do to help our country run.
Mother Nature has always been a Farmer's Best Friend and Foe. Nothing can drain you like a storm and fill you up like a storm. Zach farmers are more resilient and I'm sure you will find a way to prosper
Hopefully you guys recover quick from the damage. Still glad everyone made it ok
Im really sorry for what happened, great to see u are all doing great
This breaks my heart for all of you and all other farmers affected by the storm. Most important thing is that y’all are alive. Sending much love your way. Greetings from Iowa.
Praying for your family Zach. So sad to see all the damage, but it looks like you should be able to plant when the weather gives you a window. May God bless
Love the sense of humor. It’s the one trait you have to deal with the stress. Sorry to see the damage. Congrats on getting in the field. Slowly but surely!!
I have a feeling one family member was"nt trilled to hear any kind of humor
@@MrWwayne1 you noticed that too?!?!
I really feel for you all even though I’ve never met you. Amazing how positive you are. Puts my own problems into perspective.
I have been watching your videos for several years now . It saddens me to so much damage to the family farm . But it makes me happy to see that no one got hurt and the kids out playing. God speed in the new construction of the grain bens and shed .
Been through a disaster like this with Hurricane Hugo. You don't realize until after about six months and you discover something you missed. Sorry for your loss but it is great to see your whole family pitching in to help with the cleanup. Not an easy job.
Praying for you and your family so you get through this storm damage
Poor Jim. It'll probably be hard to keep his house in tact with all the supply issues. First time we've ever seen him without his face beaming from ear to ear. Good luck Jim.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now, I see how hard you and your dad work as well as Becky behind the senses, it’s heart breaking to see what has happened to you guys, but also really great to see you have already started the cleanup/rebuild and are all in good spirits, I’m very glad no one was injured and you and your beautiful young family are all safe. I have previously purchased a shirt from your range and will be buying 2 maybe 3 more to support you guys, I know it’s not much but we all buy something it will help in some way. Love your channel and content, please keep up the updates when you can mate. Cheers from AUS 🇦🇺
Mother nature is incredible! Scary too.
Glad you're all safe 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
I went through a cyclone here in Australia a few years ago that left us with similar damage. Yeah it’s a pain in the butt, but you’ll get through it. You have family and friends that will be there to lend a hand. Best of luck to you mate.
Love you and your family Zach! I'm so sorry y'all are going thru this! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!!!
It’s good to see you in good spirits even after a disaster. Zach you and Becky are a true inspiration! God bless all of you
Been watching your channel for a few years now and have always enjoyed the videos and the information that you provide in the life of an American farmer. The devastating aftermath of the storm is heartbreaking to see. I wish I could provide assistance in the clean up. Stay strong and stay positive, thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
With all the farming channels out on TH-cam yours is by far the most entertaining to watch. Your attitude matches mine 💯.
Man...sorry this happens to you guys
It put such a big smile on my face when I saw your Dad in his new shirt! Great Job Zach! God Bless you, your Family, and your Neighbors and everyone effected by this. ❤️😌🇺🇸🖖🏼
Becky has a way with words, sweetest way to call someone a smartass ever. The Smokey and the bandit reference was perfect.
Determination is highly needed to survive, What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time, we all need make moves now..
Investing is how you create Wealth, I started investing from pandemic crash,and I archived alot investing in cryptocurrency
I have been making losses trying to make profit by buying and holding cryptocurrency. I thought trading demo account is just like trading the real market... can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
@@lewan5975 Trading is the future, not these holding on crypto currency and expecting a surge in market price,learn how to trade from a pro,I was buying and holding but I was advice by a friend to learn daily trading with his mentor Cody Smith
@@johnmarkson9773 I have been hodling and hodling for some while now and I think its time for me to go beyond that and head for the topping games.
@@gifted8186 I make go-od inco-me too from bit-coin tradi ng and its been my most reliable source of inco me at the moment. With pro fits I've made so far I don't think i can get broke or lack anything
Again, glad you are all ok, that’s most important.
Everything else is „just“ material and insurance work.
Still it is a pain (I dealt with a flooded house before….)
Very impressed with your demeanour and sense of humour in the midst of a crisis. Sorry to hear about your troubles but at least you guys are successful enough to have the resources to get back to near normal so quickly. I remember a tornado on our farm in Manitoba just North of the US border and it wrecked our machine shed back in the 50’s . We found pieces of the sliding door a half mile away.
Prayers for you all as you move forward. God bless
When you actually know this planter has a brand new value of 200k. You understand why it physically hurts
Praying for you guys I’m glad that y’all are safe and not harmed. There is a lot of clean up to do. Good luck with the clean up and god bless
Glad everyone is ok equipment can be replaced!!! Your attitude is amazing again glad you and all your family and extended family are OK
I think this would be a great year for a whole bunch of demo units to be featured on the farm. And a building sponsor. Sucup, Brock, FS,cleary ... Who wants the aid space. Don't let a crisis go to waste. Start billboard farming 👍
Seriously, Glad everyone made it through. Clean up is only time and work. Keep a positive attitude and your kids will remember this that way. God bless
A lot of old memorables disappear - but there will be a lot of new ones! Take it easy even if it are a stressful time. Concentrate on what you really need just now. You can always clean up later!
As a Fire Officer I've seen so much people get medical problems in the beginning of aftermath. Ps. A cordless recipro saw is a good tool to make big Chinese Puzzles simpler to solve including rafters over equipment. ;D Good luck to family and friends!
"My iPad is dead!" First-world problems. :)
It looks like there was a lot less damage than I suspected from your previous video. Most of you equipment is salvageable at least. If you can get your planting done, you might end up with a pretty good year.
God, what a life you farmers have...
Watching this brought tears. I have been following you and your family from the beginning. This felt like this has happened to MY farm.
Thanks for your video of all the damage, but I'm sorry for your loss.. Things will get better as time goes on. I'm glad that your operations can keep going on for tillage and planting.
It's awesome that all your family is safe ❤.
It’s all so disorienting with the damage. Looks like you’re making progress clearing it out though, and even if it doesn’t feel fast, slow progress is better than no progress. Again I say, I’m so sorry this happened but so glad you all are safe!
I've invested so much time watching your channel, seeing this hurts. I'm just glad you guys are all alright!
We'll be alright, and the new shed will be fun to watch go up!
So sorry to hear and see your loss of your shop and the damage to your equipment. But it so great to see that your family and you are all safe. Know that prayer are on the the way.
Live south of the cities and experienced these crazy storms that caused this damage and am very sad by the damage you guys experienced....hope everything works out well for you and you are able to recover!
Zach I know you’ve been through a lot of Challenges and this is just another one we’re all here for you KEEP YOU’RE HEAD UP💪🤘
Come on pal the shed would of been stronger if it was made out of cardboard and the silo looked as weak as an empty can of soda...I have NO idea why insurance companies pay out to these fackwit farmers who are allowed to build whatever they like and not according to any building codes...at the end of the day we end up paying for these fackwit farmers!
That was one of the most painful videos to watch
At least you and the family plus two dogs are all good 👍
Keep doing what you do and stay safe
Praying for everyone impacted by the storms. Prayers for safe clean up and planting season.
I have to say when you mentioned which codes will the tractor display, ‘there’s a 2x4 through the roof’, I did spit my Coffee out, made my week. God bless ya all guys. 👍🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wow, that is one heck of a lot of progress Zach.
I have my fingers crossed that the equipment will have survived without too much damage, and the dealer can give it all a clean bill of health.
You have very able people around you, and it seems that you were early on calling your friends with the excavator. I can see his services being in demand for a few days.
Keep on keeping on, and the best of luck from here in sunny England (I can't say that very often, lol).
Neil :-)
Glad you guys are alright and sorry you got damage like that. I'm just disappointed you didn't take the tractor to the dealer with the 2x4 still in the roof
The resilience of you and Dad is amazing!
Our prayers are with you ALL !! Coming from Africa and then Saw Diego, CA we have NO experience with Tornadoes - earthquakes, YES , but not tornados !! WOW, Zach the damage to your farm with all your equipment, tractors, trucks and grain bins is incredible to say the least !! At least you've kept your sense of humour !! You have to, otherwise you'd be dead !! Prayers and best wishes to y'all !!
Geez I just can't imagine Zach! So sorry for you guys having to go through all this. Just awful!!
I'm always super worried every time we get a severe storm coming through here.. I live in central Kansas, yeah we get really severe storms here in this area all the time. Especially this time of year.. Spring time.. Tornado season!!
Love the “make fertilizer affordable again” shirt lol keep it up hope you guys recover good from this storm
Thank you for bringing food to us and what you do . Prayers for healing
Zach, that whole sequence from 23:21 to 24:17 was gold! I'm so glad you're able to keep your sense of humor! "That's what she said" NEVER gets old!!! hahaha
It’s a good day when u post keep it up
I’m always in awe of the power of wind. Reminds me just how powerless humans are. Keep up the great attitude! Faith, hard work and a good attitude will help you make it through.
It devastated me to see what happened. Prayers from my family to yours. Keep everyone updated Zach.
Glad to see family in a up beat mood. Playing for a great success in the fields. Stay strong. 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
Heartbreaking, especially Jim talking about the damage at his house. ☹️
At least you are all safe, I hope it's all sorted soon.
Best wishes from the UK
Hope the farm recovers quickly, Zach. Isla's hands up and the 17:45 photobomb are classic! 😂
I love hearing y’all talk your Minnesota talk especially when you’re not thinking about it. It just flows.
So sad to see the destruction to your area, it's amazing to see the upbeat vibe you and your family display in these times. Glad to see everyone is OK that's what matters in the end. Prayers sent 🙏
@Chatbox of millennial farmers Feeling blessed, dealing with the cards given to me day by day but BLESSED considering so many other are less fortunate.
We had a hell of a time cleaning up after the 2020 Iowa derecho and it just hurts to see all the destruction. Glad to hear everyone’s ok
Glad to see that everyone's ok and 'it's only' equipment that got minor damaged. It can always be replaced, people can't. We Brits may complain about the weather a lot (heck we complain about everything ...) but at least it's generally benign !!
I grew up in Indiana and farmers are the backbone of this Country. So sorry for this . Glad you're family is ok. Prayers God bless and thanks for sharing
So sorry about the tornado they don’t have no mercy we were hit about 10 years ago but hang in there things can be replaced but your beautiful family can’t so realize nothing is for sure so be thankful for what you have
I know there a tornado season over there, but on a "normal"-scale, how is this doing? Glad to see all are OK
This sucks so much Zach, hope for the best that harvest goes as good as can be...
Hey Zach, this storm came through my hometown of Castlewood, SD too. Lots of damage and still cleaning up today. Hope all is well there!
My heart goes out to you guys. I'm glad you're all safe and that you can kinda laugh about it. "Sometimes things go so horribly wrong that you just can't help but laugh". Stay Safe!!!
Jim 😂 “I know it’s a frickin mess”. You guys even in the toughest situations know how to make us laugh. Glad you all are ok and I bought some merch to help support. Keep making amazing content and hope things get better soon
Hey brother man, you definitely got the opertunity to highlight the value of insuring property.
Still my heart goes out to you and all those in that immediate area. Haven't been a Minnesota farmer since 1981 myself. Around the maple lake,Annandale area.
Had a bad accident on the farm when I was 9y old got burned 50% of my upper body..
Accidents happen, but knowledge, safety, assigning tasks according to age. These things will help. And parents really have to train and instruct children b4 allowing them to do things. Sadly my parents were not typical teachers, so please love your Children, train,traen,, instruct, then demonstrate. Love you videos. They really make me miss farming
Sorry to hear what happened to you as a kid. I have heard that farming is the MOST dangerous profession. Worse than being a cop or a firefighter.
Thanks for your kind words sir
sorry for your unfortunate situation. prayers to a speedy recovery.
I follow your program and am sorry to hear and see all the damage that has accrued to your farm. Glad your all safe and wish you a speedy recovery
Hi
One of the Welker's videos about erecting new grain bins showed how they ordered extra support (verticle & wrap-around) to better resist wind damage. Would that work for your farm?
Hope you are safe. Praying for your community.
Thank you for sharing your life with us, even the ugly parts. Blessings during this time.
Tell Onyx to get his hands out of his pockets and help move the damage!
I'm prefacing this with "I have no idea"... Were the cold shed doors open during the storm? If open, I can see the open ended shed acting like a big parachute, catching all the wind's force, and blowing itself apart. I freely admit I have no idea if having the doors closed would have saved the shed.
The tractor that had the planter attached was standing outside the shed, didn't fit fully in. But I think too it wouldn't have made much difference as it looks like it just collapsed and got pushed over from the side.
When the wind would have lifted it up it would have looked different.
In a tornado you actually should open you windows to get equal air pressure to prevent you roof popping up.
In a storm we had all of our wire reinforced windows cracked on the shop
Glad to hear that everyone is OK. Jim always says it best, "What a frickin mess".
Man I love the support your getting through this channel, you've obviously inserted yourselves into the lives of others.
I'm pretty sure you're busted up inside but as long as you stay as positive as you seem to be it won't be long before this is just an ugly incident that you survived. Sincere best wishes for a good season. :-)
Hi guys Sean here from Ireland so sorry to see what damage the tornado did to yet mighty setup . Once your family and workers are safe is the what’s important. Machinery and sheafs can be replaced . God bless ye all out of bad comes good 👍
So sorry for your losses on the farm there... I hope you have a smoother transition getting back to normal.... praying for you and your family.
Good thing you guy are safe. Sucks it’s right at a critical time of planting. We had a barn fire that wiped out a few major pieces of equipment. Right at this time that threw us back. I’m still after 4 years trying to recover from it. The weathers been crap all over for all of us farmers in many states
I literally had a gut ache all through this video.
Glad you are all well and safe and you’re a gutsy family!
Best wishes to you all.
Loads of damages/distraction to clean up and good to see the positive attitude and everyone taking part. Best of luck this very busy time!!!
One of the things we learned after Hurricane Irma blew our shed to bits was that we were finding nails & screws in the yard for years after. Got real good at patching tires on stuff.
It's great to see yous are all safe and yous will be farming in no time keep up the great spirits and much love from Scotland 🏴🏴
As a crusty old Scotsman and big fan of the three little pigs vs the big bad wolf. I was seeing signs that some folk living in Tornado Alley decided not to build their home from sticks.
Some recent footage after a touchdown showed houses still fully intact. Shingles, siding, and windows gone, but the home still there.
It never made any sense in these days of ICF that ANYONE would not make a concrete home?
And before anyone starts with the cost, that's bullshit.
Your most precious resource?
Time.
Your most precious possession?
Your family.
In both cases, when they are gone....they are gone!
You guys are precious. Look after yourselves and keep the "Big Bad Wolf" away.
Stay the course young man, you will win. Thank goodness, as I understand it, no one was hurt. Thanks for the update sir.
Man, how depressing was that to see... I am amazed at you pragmatism and amazing strength in the face of such carnage, uncertainty and expense.
God bless you all, and I will continue to watch your phoenix arise from the ashes...as it surely will.
Stay strong and you and your family will persevere. Glad to hear a “that’s what she said”. Haven’t heard one in a while.
Getting priorities in line and acting on them. Hope for an easy fix on the planter. Can't imagine the paper work coming down the line. Good insurance agent is a big plus. Keep your head up and remember you can only do so much. Prayers sent for this to pass quickly.
