Putting a field into a cover crop supporting pollinators is a great idea. You are on the flyway for the monarch butterflies. Nice to attract the ground beetles and ladybugs to name a few beneficial insects. Great to start up an apiary if any of the ladies of the family wanted to try it. Or perhaps try some of those 60 inch corn with a cover crop to capture carbon as discussed on those podcasts. 🍁👍😎
Man that little girl is way smarter than you are 🤣 Must be a wonderful feeling working with dad and Onyx like you do. When we used to start farming a 'new land' or 'wild land', we would plough it and plant potatoes the first time. After that the soil would be ready to grow anything.
Because you asked...I subscribed. I'll let you know when I am ready to put my channel up. HVACR for commercial spaces is where I am at this point. Years ago, I held four ASE master certs...then I went off to fly jets. Now, I am home every night and I am valued for my abilities. I know you are also valued. We all need to eat, and although I haven't been in a combine since 1966, I get where you are coming from. Well done.
My father-in-law milked 80 head of cows, starting about 5 in the morning and then his youngest son milk them in the evening. He couldn't wait for school to be out for summer, my oldest son would spend the summer on the farm and ride in the tractor with Grandpa. He kept him from falling asleep and if he did my son woke him up right away.
As the resident truck driver on our farm I've learned that if the combine driver has to get out and kick the dirt to see if it's dry enough for me.... I'll just go turn around down at the next intersection! 🙂
I don't always think about it unless you ask, I just subscribed just now, been watching for a long while, im glad you reminded me, I enjoy watching, I live in Orlando Florida, I farm my back yard, maybe I will do the front yard sooner or later, I had about 50 sweet corn plants this last season, Now its broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes ect. I love studying my soil and amending it, I would love to work on a farm one day. I have to be outdoors.
Zack those Def nozzles are a pain we fight them all the time at the pumps for semis my suggestion is to make sure the breather tube in those nozzles is clear the smallest plug will cause it to think its full and click off a wire barrel brush up in there should help
Good job coming back to help your dad Onyx. When I was your age, I had to catch bales of alfalfa, stack them on on the trailer, and then stack them in the barn. I am old now, but those day's of working, made me a better worker as an adult, and a lot of people don't care about the work they do, and can't keep a job. Your dad is a good man, listen and learn. God bless.
I don't know about the rest of your people but I appreciate that you get out with the camera and make contact and I also appreciate that you know when not to this is actually response to one of your last videos I don't remember which one it was but thank you very much for the content that you do produce! And I reported one of the other comments it wasn't appropriate for this channel
@@GenXFarmer88 happy too! It wasn't real nasty but you could read the intent between the lines & i'd hate for the children/wife to have seen it... It was real inappropriate & shameful plugging for adult content
Been watching your video with your daughter reminds me of when my daughter Abby used to ride with me now she's older she's in her twenties and you don't even get to see her hardly on the farm but you have some great looking kids Zack and Mrs millenium but Onyx and her look a lot alike great video Zack
On a dairy farm I worked on in high-school, a few goose hunters set up in one of our fields I was spreading liquid manure in. Between loads I asked the farmer if they had permission to hunt there. He said no and told me to get rid of them. I filled the tanker and spread the load on their decoys. Not a word was said from the hunters and they never came back.
@@GenXFarmer88 I didn't grow up on a farm but spent the better part of my life farming. Most of the farm kids I've known came to resent the farm as they felt forced.
@@kaisabens4856 yup. Same exact experience as me. Can’t count the amount of people I know that went off to college and ditched the farm because they hated it
Isla loves being with her Dad which is an awesome thing. Tells me Zach is a great dad. You will make your million subscribers Zach. You and Becky do a great job with your Millennial Farmer channel.
Love how kids (universally) answer dad questions like they are the silliest/ stupidest questions lol...also awesome that Zach's youngest daughter is the biggest on farming
you can always see better when the windows are clean, lol, the dust or dirt breaks the light up into a million more pieces flying blind is the result - at least you did´n´t have any oncoming traffic
Great quote for you as a farmer. “Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer.” - Bernard Baruch, attributed, 'American Agriculture: A Brief History'.
Gotta be rewarding to have the kids join you doing farm work. 🚜 Onyx coming back for a few hours after homework, well that's a given he's a boy. Seeing the girls with you must really tickle your soul 👍🌽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’d have been out there Zach, can’t abide lack of respect from people on property. Asking you if they can do it is free and goes hand in hand with general manners. 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
"I don't know if the camera picks it up or not but the corn isn't that great". BWAHAHA.!!!! Sorry for your tough year. Still have a great family to be thankful for.
There is this really good feeling when I see that unloader putting corn into the grain cart. Minnesota farmers feeding the world! Although for you I am sure that it means that much closer to being done.
Me and my wife have a 9 month old and I am 58 but she is 36 but I cannot wait till she can come with me on the tractor or 4 wheeler. She is young but if she sees me on the tractor she has to come ride so I take her for a short ride, always!! I really wish they sold corn ships here in Philippines. Jealous!! God Bless
Hard to be upset about corn not standing the best when Isla is next to you! She's a precious little gal! Thanks for another great video and great editing Becky!
Hmm, I can watch a “TV” about people killing each other and other nasty stuff. Or I can watch cool machinery driven by someone who’s showing his kids a lot of love. No more “TV” for me. Thanks Zack and Becky for giving us something uplifting to watch.
I'm a Tennessee boy, I am glad to see all the footage, and the giving back yall do. Taking care of the environment and helping educate future farmers. Keep it up
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Thanks to Becky for all of her work editing so we can have a lot of videos. Many thanks Becky!!!! Really nice that Ila is interested in farming like she is. Her life on the farm is enriched by observing the farming operation and spending time with you Zach. Really proud of Onyx and his ability to operate the grain cart and his desire to be in the field. Fine young man there!!!!!! Grandpa looked real happy helping Ila get down the combine ladder. Nice for the family being on the field together. Zach, you were kinder to those hunters than me. Without my permission they are out of here would be me. That land you are running the disc over is looking good. Should do good in the spring. Your weather is just wonderful for harvesting. Hope it continues. Hang in there with harvesting. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.
The fact that you find the time to share with us your busy day while farming is amazing. I Know it is really difficult to maintain a farm that size without a camera taking up one hand. So the fact that you take the time to do this and educate us city folk is really much appreciated Zach! It reminds me of growing up on my grandparents farm before they passed and family lost farm here in Ohio. Those memories are the best ones of my life and your channel brings back alot that I forgot about. So thank you very much for everything you do good sir! I hope you have a great, safe, prosperous harvest!
Sir, you are far more patient than I am. If I were you, I would have driven that Deere straight through that swamp to those poachers/trespassers and gave them a big ol piece of my mind.
Question: As a guy who loves keeping his garage clean, does it ever bother you seeing all the debris on the header and that huge pile of debris in the back of the combine? I know it’s always gonna be there after each time to use the machine but i was curious if you ever cleaned it after a hard day at work?
Ah, The grain dryer drama. I remember it well. I actually just put a tent next to ours with a cot and slept next to it. Every two hours or so would be checking that it's running, moving between all the storage bins, etc. We kept ours rolling 24/7 at harvest. Like having an infant that needs attention all the time.
You were much nicer to the trespassers than I would have been. I hope its a case of having permission from the prior owner and didn't know it was sold...
I really enjoy your content guys. I'm not a farmer but both of my parents grew up farming and I'm a rural dweller so I know the work that goes into it. It's amazing that you manage to get through it all with a camera stuck to your hand. Great team work, thank you! And what a fabulous environment for your children to grow up in, the real 'school of life'!
Enjoy watching this it's enjoyable.
The smile of a grandfather with his grandchild. Love it!
Ian robertson cable with the good work mate I'm proud of you make me happy when I see you doing your did some work keep it up mate

You won't make a mistake by showing more of your kids. People love it.
Very cool to see your boy helping out at a young age.
Hvala!
The look on your face.and your attitude when you saw the hunters! I have complete empathy. Been there!
Daddy & little one making faces through the glass - family is a beautiful thing.

Art, if you need to scratch your combine itch, I may know a guy…😊
I like watching young kids running machines he is a lucky kid
Thanks!
Parenting done right. When the child wants to get back out and work it’s a great sign
Wow y’all I bet ya are so proud Dad And Grandpa to have Onyx helping out
She is just a doll. And Onyx is so damn cool. Super super jealous.
The deer is great. Congrats. Watched the video to see the deer. Thanks
That smile on your dads face watching his granddaughter go down the ladder was brighter than the sun.
That machine does a great job on the field .
Grandpa looked so happy when Isla climbed out of the combine.
As a grandfather to five (5) granddaughters and two (2) grandson's, I KNOW that feeling !! Thank you, Lord !!

There’s nothing they can love a girl more than their father or grandpa
What a good dad.
Isla is too cute, so adorable!
When the nossel of the def gets def splashed on it,it makes it think its full
As the resident truck driver on our farm I've learned that if the combine driver has to get out and kick the dirt to see if it's dry enough for me.... I'll just go turn around down at the next intersection! 🙂
Glad corn harvest is going good

Fantastic job 👍👍👍
This is one youtuber who deserves 1m subs!!!
Cool shot with the moving train
I love how nobody gets comfortable doing any one job. Everyone takes turn in every position. Teamwork
Having your son go out on his own with the grain cart must make you and grandpa so STINKIN' PROUD!!!!! Even makes all of us watching proud of him!!
To have your kids so involved with the farm is awesome.
That’s just what farm kids do. I don’t understand why so many of you are fascinated by this.
@@gregjames5070 , unless you are from the farm many can’t understand. Farming is a lifestyle, not just a job.

Nice! Love the combines!
Can't believe ya'll made a crop on less that 2" rain awesome

@@michaelrussell6661 I know my daughter is already begging to drive the tractors! Just has to grow a little more to reach the pedals
You've got a good hand in Onyx. I know his Grandpa is proud of him.
And dad, and mom….
And the girls are beautiful. Can’t wait to see Zach when boys start showing up. I have a son, only child, 17 & yes, girls fear me.
I’ve done my job.

Love your operation.
Thanks Zac…. Great vid as always
She’s really coming out of her shell now x🥰
Always great to see a new Millennial farmer video when coming home from school
You definitely have the cutest sidekick in the business she’s adorable !!

Love the three generations farming together. Your father seems like a great man.
"I don't know if the camera picks it up or not but the corn isn't that great". BWAHAHA.!!!! Sorry for your tough year. Still have a great family to be thankful for.
Get a stack of traffic cones and drop one at pickable rocks, and grab them when picked-up
My favorite part of your Chanel is how great of a father you are the farming is just a plus
Love watching the playful relationship you share with Ila-fathers and daughters are special!

Damn true, haven't watched tv news or movies now nearly a year, but certainly excellent content from these farmers, well done guys.
You got that right, tv disgusts me, and the music to after I had my eye's opened about who they really work for. God bless.
I was inspired by the MMF to start my own channel. I am amazed at how he can take an ordinary occurrence and turn it into entertaining content.
My TV spends most of its time off, mostly only used to to get the news and weather at breakfast.

Like Tim Farmer always said “always ask permission, and thank the land owner”. It’s not that hard folks

You are absolutely right about the hunters they should have asked
Worst-case you would say NO
Ah, The grain dryer drama. I remember it well. I actually just put a tent next to ours with a cot and slept next to it. Every two hours or so would be checking that it's running, moving between all the storage bins, etc. We kept ours rolling 24/7 at harvest. Like having an infant that needs attention all the time.
"Got that part figured out" was a great one liner!!!!
Love watching you work with your Dad and your family.
You were much nicer to the trespassers than I would have been. I hope its a case of having permission from the prior owner and didn't know it was sold...
Same, let them do it once and they'll do it again
It’s s much Zachs fault for not posting if he just bought the land and doesn’t allow hunting.
@@waggtech4883 You can't hunt on land that's not yours without permission period, with or without a silly sign. It's not Zachs fault at all.
I wasn't really concerned about it, mostly just caught off guard. I'd have told them to go ahead anyway so I just waved and kept working.
@@MillennialFarmer that minnesota snarky!!!!!
When not using DEF, store the end of the nozzle in a container of water. It works well at keeping the nozzle from building up and clicking off.
