I'm not understanding how you dislike his videos. They're informative, enjoyable to watch, and just entertaining to watch. Some people must be jealous or just mad at the world. Anyhoo, congrats on finishing planting so early, one weight lifted. Keep up the good work.
All done, at least for my part LORD for the rain and sunshine the crop needs I give You many thanks in advance. I think if you would let the dogs ride they would super love you. Love the kids! They don’t realize now how being in a farm family is #1
you explain things in a way that you're talking across to your audience, not down to them. you, Welkers, Cole and NYfarmgirls all do that and thats what I like about you guys. keep on keepin' on.
A lot of channels I see can be controversial but I don't understand for the life of me why someone would dislike any of these videos. Are they disliking the quality? Maybe the content? Someone has a bot that just automatically dislikes the videos? Maybe a bot that just dislikes all video with similar content. I just don't understand how you get to this channel and regularly dislike it.
Friend sent me a pix of me sitting on a stack of 10 small bales May 17 last year...it was a warm day. Today it was 68 and we've had no real 80 degree days. Hay is ready but we've had 20" of rain in 10 weeks. Soggy fields, we are a week from getting any hay up in NW Ark
Crazy how fast corn grows!!! My first time ever growing corn in Florida this year! It’s already at 6ft and tassel. I’m used to cotton which grows slowly. Corn is a different beast!!!
I asked the question about the speed of the two planters in the comment section. One of your other watcher/farmers had a formula on how to tell acres per hour of planting. His formula shows the new planter is 1/3 rd faster per acre. Even though it is less rows planted per pass.
I love watching your videos because for me I am a small famrer from ohio. to see the different ways people farm in other states is cool. also i packaged seed for a company and we do package for channel and it awsome to see someone that plants seed that i may or may not have packaged.
Zach your a Hoot, you could really tell you were getting close to being done and yes that feeling of being done and it starts to rain is a Awesome feeling but there is always something to do on the farm, fix stuff as I never put anything away broke and service tractors as back in the days when I was farming we then had to cultivate and that was my favorite job as we had a guidance system on our cultivator and all you had to do is keep the wheels in the center between the rows. Love your videos Mr. Millennial farmer.
You can even get stuck with the best equipment nowadays. Zach I don't believe I've ever seen you get stuck or did you snap your fingers. Listening to the good music of the 70's my favorite !
I really do enjoy the way that you explain things so clearly in your videos. I’m not up on present day farming as I moved away from the farm in the 1950’s. Things have sure change since then, and I sure like what you post.
He has a coat on and when I got into my pickup truck this afternoon the temp showed 113 deg F. Summer has come to Houston. We just got about 4 inches of rain too !
My brother has actually driven your planting tractor when it was in Indiana. He's the one that loaded it for when it got shipped out again. In his opinion it was really rough but he enjoyed that he got to drive it.
Another great video. Make sure your doors are locked each night. In the Netherlands they steel equipment and tools from the farms. Ironically in the old days your dad might relate the machines idled the engines overnight. Correct me if I'm wrong 🙂
I stopped at the donut shop this morning and they had "Maple/Bacon Long Johns." Who thought that one up? I don't know but I bought two for me and two for my gal. Looking forward to tonight when I can have them at breakfast with coffee.
Here in south west Michigan planting went awesome early but now it’s really wet 4-1/2” in two days. The fields are so wet you can’t even walk across them. If it was easy everyone would be doing it . As always good video Zach. Keep your beans warm. lol
I heard "Starbuck". I forgot that it was on the west end of the lake. I remember a weatherman on 'CCO used to like to give the temperature in Starbuck before FM became a common thing. Farmers used to mount a transister radio on the tractor hood (no cabs back then) so they could listen to the Twins games on "The good neighbor of the north".
We put equipment away on Saturday and my uncle says to me that it is first that we put stuff away and a year ago at this time we were barley started planting
Could you please do more drone footage of that dohn jeere 8rx planting? Like drone video of yourself planting. It would be easy to do while the auto stear is taking you across the field, you could be droning yourself.
In one of your video's you asked How many farmers were watching or if your not a farmer. Well I am not a Farmer I just happened to come across one of your video's I find them very interesting. I also like your visits to other farms around the country and Canada. Also the way the trackers just drive them self's is really cool .
Great that you’re all done. And then the rain came, couldn’t be better. Unless the rain keeps coming. 🤞for a good growing year. Dry as snuff here in the UK which is really unusual.
Feels good to be done, don't it? We have a little bit of spraying to do but it won't take very long to get it done. All I have to do now is to wash and grease (and or fix) for next spring. Great job as always and have a Hamm's or a Grain Belt ( the official beers of Minnesota!!!) on me ;)
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve just beat the rain, drilling, silage and bailing. It feels great but usually within 30 seconds you’re on the move to another job and it’s back to the grind stone! Happy days!
Derek, have you ever experienced frost this late in the year? I worked on a farm much further North in mid Canada in 1978. I never witnessed any frost until August, and I arrived there in April. Are you aware that "Global warming" is a fraud?
That Canadian farm had land situated just 20 miles North of the main farm, and all the crops there were killed off by the August frost. So they were swathed and bailed for cattle feed.
Curious if you’re going to buy the new 2020 John Deere “Whipper” for spraying, its a great accessory to the “Snapper” software your using. Maybe JD will make you their “Whipper-Snapper” spokesman?
9:52 Good think that landed on the front axle, you could've gotten a flat on that Brand New 410RX! I know you've been having pressure problems with it already, don't need no holes
I love the scholarship thing you do. Wish they would have more of that over where I live in Wisconsin. But its all changing from dairy farms to beef farms since milk dropped years back.

The weather has surely been acting strange this spring, here in Scandinavia there were a few warm days in April but now in May it snowed last week (Uppsala area Sweden ). Great to hear that the seeding season is finished, now it’s just to hope for the best. 🚜🍻🥓🍳
Snowed last week here in southern Québec, Canada and they're calling for 24C in a few days... Summer is finally starting to point its nose here, we had a horribly cold, windy and snowy spring
Yeah, the weather in Sweden is weird at the moment... We planted 2 weeks ago (Gävleborg region), and we have yet to see any green on our fields... The nights have been below freezing and the sun isn't helping much behind those cloud covers...
If that was in fact a fan that stopped by. And any fans reading this thinks they wanna just swing by Zacks house. Dont. Its not a good look for you. The man is working and he has his family around and who knows who is just stopping by. The commonness of the senseless is mind boggling.
I am behind here in Ohio for my soybeans i have the heat but i also got a crap load of rain in 1 day so far 5.5in suppose to get another 2-3 inchs today!
Zak, Once again great work. Today was a day full of puns. Keep the seeds dr y, tick. Keep the seeds warm, tick. Get under roof( is that her name)lol. In every way 2020 will end with the right results for you and for the USA. MAGA.KAG.
Zack, just a bit of mathematics (NOT the new math where you add 1 + 1 and get 5 and then subtract 3 because there were only 2 numbers you used -- or something like that) for you. You are planting 2/3 (two thirds) as much 2 times as fast; you will lose some time depending on how much backing and filling and twisting and turning you have to do at the end of each pass, so add in about 1/6 (one sixth) of of the time you are out planting. Granted, if you do say, two passes for end rows, you will make the "lost time" less by being able to do a 180 degree turn instead of backing and filling.) Think of it this way - your field is 120 rows wide and 5 miles long. Using the 60 row planter at 5 mph, you will take 2 hours to do the two passes (dis regarding turnaround and what ever else needs to be done). Now, using the 40 row planter at 10 mph, you will do the first pass (40 rows) in 30 minutes, the second pass (40 + 40 for a total of 80 rows) in 30 minutes (Two thirds done now in half the time!) and the third pass in 30 minutes for a total of 120 rows in 1.5 hours -- essentially having gained 30 minutes for ever 10 miles you plant. So, why are you still complaining with sooooooooooooooooo much extra time on your hands???
It's safe to say things have changed since the 70's and early 1980's when we farmed/ranched in Utah. When the neighbor got air conditioning in his new John Deere, we thought it was soft. The whole computer thing would have been great. *balances an Atari on the steering wheel* Anyway, I'm curious about the corn, with the virus disruptions to the markets, if that affects what was planted, or how many acres. Ethanol use down, as well as feed lots thrown into confusion this year having that much of an effect or are you counting on a rebound?
It’s been stupidly dry and hot here in the uk for the time of year where I live it’s probably rained 3 times in the last 8-9 weeks even the grass isn’t really growing. It’s normally none stop rain

My son (2.5yrs) loves tractors..and the Baby Shark made his day!
Thanks for sharing knowledge about the seedlings and effects of cold and freezing and grow back abilities.
I love the snap! It works every time! I am glad you got planting done earlier this year but that means see ya 8rx.
Congrats on a smooth planting season.
Gotta love that thunder timing. Congrats on finishing planting, it will be sad to see the RX go
Well Congrats on finishing this early. Hope the rest of the year goes as well as spring did.
Crazy how fast corn grows!!! My first time ever growing corn in Florida this year! It’s already at 6ft and tassel. I’m used to cotton which grows slowly. Corn is a different beast!!!
Weather has been very nice for fieldwork this spring. Knock on wood. Best of luck to all farmers this year!
I asked the question about the speed of the two planters in the comment section.
One of your other watcher/farmers had a formula on how to tell acres per hour of planting.
His formula shows the new planter is 1/3 rd faster per acre. Even though it is less rows planted per pass.
Oh where to begin. Haha. The warm bean bags and wide back end of that sprayer. Nice.
Small blessing brother, heavy wire jumps out of the ground and lands on the bar, no telling ot might have done
It was nice to have good field conditions for spring planting. It's been awhile. We finished 3 weeks earlier than last year. Glad you beat the rain.
I love watching your videos because for me I am a small famrer from ohio. to see the different ways people farm in other states is cool. also i packaged seed for a company and we do package for channel and it awsome to see someone that plants seed that i may or may not have packaged.
Good content Zach. We will pray for good weather and a good harvest.
Zach your a Hoot, you could really tell you were getting close to being done and yes that feeling of being done and it starts to rain is a Awesome feeling but there is always something to do on the farm, fix stuff as I never put anything away broke and service tractors as back in the days when I was farming we then had to cultivate and that was my favorite job as we had a guidance system on our cultivator and all you had to do is keep the wheels in the center between the rows.

You can even get stuck with the best equipment nowadays. Zach I don't believe I've ever seen you get stuck or did you snap your fingers. Listening to the good music of the 70's my favorite !
The colder weather this spring is a little unfortunate, but still beats the hell out of the flooding we all had last year!
Congratulations on being done with planting 👍👍👍👍💯
I really do enjoy the way that you explain things so clearly in your videos. I’m not up on present day farming as I moved away from the farm in the 1950’s. Things have sure change since then, and I sure like what you post.
He has a coat on and when I got into my pickup truck this afternoon the temp showed 113 deg F.
Summer has come to Houston. We just got about 4 inches of rain too !
Great video. Interesting explanation about the corn if it freezes.
It is really amazing to me how much a farmer needs to know to be successful. My Home gardening is a no brain endeavor.
My brother has actually driven your planting tractor when it was in Indiana. He's the one that loaded it for when it got shipped out again. In his opinion it was really rough but he enjoyed that he got to drive it.
Where at in Indiana ?
Jim Ellinger it was in the greensburg area.
Copy that
I just started watching your channel and I just love Jim. He always seems so chill and nice.
Another great video. Make sure your doors are locked each night. In the Netherlands they steel equipment and tools from the farms. Ironically in the old days your dad might relate the machines idled the engines overnight. Correct me if I'm wrong 🙂
I stopped at the donut shop this morning and they had "Maple/Bacon Long Johns." Who thought that one up? I don't know but I bought two for me and two for my gal. Looking forward to tonight when I can have them at breakfast with coffee.
Oh no, done planting. Oh, wait, good job. Looking forward to seeing cultivating, spraying and harvest.
The Welkers and One Lonely Farmer are both done too !
Here in south west Michigan planting went awesome early but now it’s really wet 4-1/2” in two days. The fields are so wet you can’t even walk across them. If it was easy everyone would be doing it . As always good video Zach. Keep your beans warm. lol
"Quit playing with your dingy" Multiple meanings
I heard "Starbuck". I forgot that it was on the west end of the lake. I remember a weatherman on 'CCO used to like to give the temperature in Starbuck before FM became a common thing.

Hey Zack lovely video I farm with my dad in Australia and we are about 2/3 of our crops planted good job and keep the good work up!
Your almost done in MN but in Northern KY we can't get in the field. We got almost 5 inches of rain since yesterday about 3 pm.
Good for you Zach. We have not started planting yet.
We put equipment away on Saturday and my uncle says to me that it is first that we put stuff away and a year ago at this time we were barley started planting
You have a beautiful family.
pulling for a great harvest Zach
Could you please do more drone footage of that dohn jeere 8rx planting? Like drone video of yourself planting. It would be easy to do while the auto stear is taking you across the field, you could be droning yourself.
*planting*
I'm a city boy yet I love watching these videos
I hear ya, about the been bags. But to warm, they are no go. Or so I heard
Congrats on this phase of the season.
Glad to see things are going well for you. We have been so wet we have very little seeded.
In one of your video's you asked How many farmers were watching or if your not a farmer. Well I am not a Farmer I just happened to come across one of your video's I find them very interesting. I also like your visits to other farms around the country and Canada. Also the way the trackers just drive them self's is really cool .
By the looks of that box that got put in the truck at the very end, it'll be a great Mothers Day for Becky!
Let's hope this cold spring brings a warm and nice summer.
"quit playing with your Dingy line
CRACKED ME UP
keep using the finger snap transitions (luv em)
Congrats on getting planting done Zach! Always a good feeling i'm sure!
The writers of this show are fantastic this season. :P
Great that you’re all done. And then the rain came, couldn’t be better. Unless the rain keeps coming. 🤞for a good growing year. Dry as snuff here in the UK which is really unusual.
I was watching one of your other videos and then got the notification! Awesome!!
Exact same!
Planting all done. Time to go catch some fish.
Feels good to be done, don't it? We have a little bit of spraying to do but it won't take very long to get it done. All I have to do now is to wash and grease (and or fix) for next spring. Great job as always and have a Hamm's or a Grain Belt ( the official beers of Minnesota!!!) on me ;)

Down in IL it has been wet, wet, wet!
Way to go! You finished before i started this year. Last year it was the other way around.
Lucky. Here in southern Manitoba, Canada just north of you were atleast 3 weeks behind.
Not as much rain, warm always helps a bit.
The snap unlock payment is only required if it's the Deere Snap...all other snaps come unlocked from the factory
Becky's new boat and mothers day gift, two birds one stone
Curious if you’re going to buy the new 2020 John Deere “Whipper” for spraying, its a great accessory to the “Snapper” software your using. Maybe JD will make you their “Whipper-Snapper” spokesman?

You are done...We haven't started...... N.Missouri...Maybe tomorrow probably Wednesday..
Thanks Zach
I love the scholarship thing you do. Wish they would have more of that over where I live in Wisconsin. But its all changing from dairy farms to beef farms since milk dropped years back.
Farmers making America great!

Lucky for you. 5" of rain since Thursday here in central Michigan with more to come through tomorrow.
Yep Michigan is getting dumped on again
Man I envy your dirt. That loose and so black. Looks like a dream
Best feature on the ExactEmerge planter is its ability to keep the rain at bay until you're done planting.
This is it - weather is so much better this year. Take care and be safe. 'Spin'
If that was in fact a fan that stopped by. And any fans reading this thinks they wanna just swing by Zacks house. Dont. Its not a good look for you. The man is working and he has his family around and who knows who is just stopping by. The commonness of the senseless is mind boggling.
The dingy one got me. Thanks for the awesome content as always, Zach (Zack? Zac?) and company!
Push it to the limit. Keep making it happen. PITTL!!!
Today it was 103 here in south Texas.
I agree Coors is essential to Becky. To bad you didn't get enough for yourself.
Today on MF I learned that keeping bean bags warm is more important than leaving your dingy out.
🤣🤣
Great information! I thought if it froze, the whole crop would be lost. Thanks for clearing that up.
At this stage, Zach is the Thanos of TH-cam. Except he brings things to life
So that really make hime iron man if you think about it......🤔🤔🤔
Congrats!
14:41 agreed
Love the thunder creek trailer
I am behind here in Ohio for my soybeans i have the heat but i also got a crap load of rain in 1 day so far 5.5in suppose to get another 2-3 inchs today!
Getting it done
According to Bloomberg you are done until harvest now.😅
Glad everything went so smoothly for you guys this year. After last year's struggles you earned this one.
Dont dig up the little corn plant! LoL
Sounds terminal, may need the 8RX as a replacement for the 9RT, fix your woes ;)
Zak, Once again great work. Today was a day full of puns. Keep the seeds dr y, tick. Keep the seeds warm, tick. Get under roof( is that her name)lol. In every way 2020 will end with the right results for you and for the USA. MAGA.KAG.
Your videos NEVER disappoint lmao The Thunder rattle had me in stitches lol
Great video always enjoy watching your video have a great day

Must be nice tool be almost done here in Kansas rain about every 4 days
Thought y’all are the dust bowl and it never rains out there
Nothing to do now but sit back and watch the profits roll in!
