- We finally kicked off our harvest for 2020! The weather is awesome and we have a few acres ready to go. Dad also tweaked his new knee getting out of a tractor. Son of a gun.

You know the content is good when a middle aged IT guy from Toronto is excited about harvest season in Lowry, Minnesota. 🤯
I'm also a middle aged IT guy from the Northeast. I saw the video and I was like YAYYY HARVEST IS STARTING!! My favorite time of TH-cam year. I was actually thinking a leaving a similar comment and saw yours lol
Hey chemical handling/ water filtration guy from the pacific northwest. Love this channel!
Hello there
I am young IT guy from Germany.
Also excited about the harvest season over there, ours has been finished a month ago already :D
Apprentice lineman from the southeast here sending some of that harvest excitement aswell. It's amazing to me all the different places and walks of life that have gathered in this community.
Good to know I'm not the only IT guy getting into Ag!
I'm always amazed by the "neighbor effect". All it takes is one guy at the coffee shop to say "I think I'm going to run a test strip", and next thing you know, the whole county is full of running combines.
I feel for your dad, I've been in the same boat. You want to go like normal, but it's just not time yet. Hope he feels better soon.
Go Blues! 🎶
Paul S this happens all over the world, my boss said we will start harvest next week as the barley is not quite fit , he drives down the road see our neighbour going and phones me up and say get the combine out !😂😂
All farmers want the "bragging rights" of being the first to start and the first to finish, no matter what era you're talking about.
👍🏽❤️
Hopefully dad's knee gets better.
God bless.
I hope to got his knee gets better
Zach is so excited he is lost for words! Tell your Dad to take his time with that new knee. I know it’s hard when it’s go time, but man if you let it heal right? It’s like your 20 years old again. It’s worth it!
I’m glad your dad is ok god
bless him
Zach: "Now we're an hour later..."
Jim: "Don't say a word!" 😂
Jim is a treasure!
Thats what she said
Are you a writing a book?
Jim is a treasure "don't say a word"
Please try and keep the boss focused on the gains that the next two weeks will make with his knee and not push too hard now!
Zack isn’t the only one that’s excited about starting the harvest!
Same im just waiting for our cotten to be ready and we'll be ready
hahah!!!! and by excited, you mean...
Corny Peters ok ikoo kink B jo bio i
Hey our kid's here loves it. The oldest 2 drives the tractor and trailer.
Dang ole wheelbarrow in the sieves, they'll get ya every time
Can’t find the toaster? Check the combine
You can’t keep Dad out of combine. Take care of Dad.
I grew up in rural Indiana and all my family and friends were farmers or somehow connected to farming. My uncle ran a big operation. 10,000 head of hogs and 15,000 acres. He basically used all his corn just for feed. If it was a good harvest he would have a few semi loads to sell on the market, but for the most part the hogs were the main consumer. In harvest I drove a JD 4440 pulling a grain cart. Easily 15 hour days. Or I was manning the dryers and the leg system. He had 22 of the largest bins made in two rows of 11. That life is in my blood. The smell of diesel, corn dust, fresh fall air and earth makes me happy. Now I punch a clock in a factory in the city. But where you are now is where you are. But that's why these videos are so attractive to me. Takes me back to a good time in my life
I look forward to your harvest videos all year - thank you so much for sharing. Hope your dad has a quick recovery.
The best part of my week is when MMF uploads. I love the longer videos
Same
Our favorite too, Millennial Motherfluffer.
There never long enough for me
@@carlwood1432 That's what she
@@7rixee brilliant
Hope your dad's feeling ok zak, stay safe everyone at harvest.
Great job as always. I hope your dad is doing well with his "new" knee. Good luck , God bless and stay safe.
It is so great watching harvest. As a city kid in small town ND, I truly appreciate the hard work farmers do on a daily basis. Keep it between the rows and pray for good weather.
Nothing hurts as much as lynchpin bite on a frosty day ,still got the scars .
emotional scars mostly haha
@john mcgee Do you'r research before you correct some one Rshaped clips are called R clips google it .
Yeah I knew exactly. You don't forget that. And yet it still happens.
Man when you first set down in that first field I was freaking giddy as I watched that header start cutting! My heart was pounding lol. It's so satisfying to see after all the work it all leads up to that. Awesome Man!
Glad to see your Dad is getting out and about! Hope he keeps getting better and doesn't overdo it! I'm blessed to stop have my Dad around and he is the same way... he doesn't stop going unless he is sick.
Love the videos! Thanks for all the time and effort you guys put into them.
a year waiting for the millennial farmer's harvest and I can finally see it, thank you zack for sharing the harvest to the world, greetings from Chile and thank you for sharing this, which is so beautiful!
Got our first field of beans in Leaf Valley done Thursday. Have a safe and successful harvest. 👍
Hope your dad feel better. Good to see him back.
Love watchin these...in the dead of winter with the wind blowin 40 and the chill about -30.... warms me up quick
Congratulations on a mostly successful start to Harvest 2020.
Keep showing us those sunsets too. You have a good eye for nature's beauty, even when you are super busy with the farming operation.
Hope your dad gets better as soon as possible. He’s a good ol man👍🏻
Jealous , over 100 years my family has done what your doing ... Everything gone ... What your living is Awesome ... Hearing the sounds & watching you brings back great memories !!! I did do some wheat stalks , grass hay in Roseau , Green Bush , Warroad & Crookston ... About to start cotton here in Hale County , West Texas ... You are blessed ...
Good luck with the harvest and best wishes to your dad and speedy recovery.. Love the videos!!!
As always, these Millennial Farmer videos are excellent!! They're always informative, never boring, and always make us cheer for their good farming!! And we hope Dad's new knee doesn't give him problems!!
Wow Zach, setting up and running the combine looked incredibly complex to someone who's never done it. I'm sure you have memory of the previous year that makes it easier. Also knowing how to adjust to the size and moisture of the bean to maximize yield. I'd have to go to "Combine School" to learn all that stuff!
I could see the pain in your Dad's face stood bent over in front of that tractor and what did you do ....... nothing! Lol Bad Boy!
Hope Nate is recovering and hasn't done any permanent damage tweeking that knee.
Fingers crossed for a great harvest!
Hope your dad's knee feels better, Love seeing him in your videos, he seems like such an honest, humble hardworking guy.
Nice to see you harvesting. Hopefully your dad's knee is ok and he can harvest. You could see the enthusiasm in his eye in the shop early in the video. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
Did you ever speak about the soil type specs, nutrients, micros, tough and easy weeds etc? Wish all the best for your dads recovery. My dad should go for an operation. I know the pain of seeing a loved one, that was our superman, held back by pain and injury..
When I worked at RDO in kindred I specialized in working on combines... After doing all the repairs to a machine I hated going out and turning the separator on for the first time.... luckily never did leave a tool in one or have the concaves adjusted wrong lol
Thanks for the 1st harvest video for 2020 Mrs Millennial, Looking forward to many more from Somersby NSW Australia . Cheers
Best wishes to Dad and that hi perf. trick-ass knee he had installed. I'm a Toolmaker in so. California and I feel oddly connected to the bean harvest thanks to you guys and your willingness to share content. Thanks for that!
Good wishes to your Dad. Get him rested!
praying that u have a safe harvest , love the vids
Prayers for your Dad. Hope all is well. Reminds me of how my Dad was. Need to take it easy and heal but his drive and patience said otherwise. Good luck on yield
The parade of the big Green is starting! Always enjoy harvest Zack. Hope your dad is doing ok. Take care of him as I'm sure you will. Thanks for sharing.
Hey man best content love the tractors we just started corn harvest 2020 in Ohio!
Same here coshocton county
God's healing in your dad's knee. And wisdom for him to pace and take care of himself. I've had both knees replaced; wisdom in pacing myself is a continuing discipline.
ive known six people had knee replacement, all six had second surgery told to walk early,
And so it begins......God bless us all. Another good edit, Becky. Thank you for all you do.
Sure hope your dad's knee is OK, will be praying for him. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, this is by far the best farming channel on YT, your commentary makes this the best channel zach, explanation of everything is sweet, hopefully your dad gets better, good to see him in the videos, an sadly there probably won't be no
(HOLY BUCKETS) THIS HARVEST 🚜💪👌🇺🇲💯
Your channel is a treasure. Good luck in 2020 year and good harvest.
Excellent Vieo Zack, I wish you're Dad all the best and I hope his knee gets better and pain free quickly.
Very cool video again Zach! I am always so intrigued to see what stage the farm is going into next. I am not a farmer but think what you do is really cool. You have a great way of brining the viewer along and make us feel like we are there with you. One of my favorite channels!
2020 was horrible until I watched Millennial farmer (I have watched it before but
This made 2020 better)
I watch Millennial Farmer, Larson Farms, Welker Farms and Cole the Cornstar I started watching Welker Farm videos at first then started watching the rest because I'm not a farmer but was always curious on how the equipment worked and now I like the whole thing. I'm have a lot more respect for Farmers and even more for Farmers that started working the land long ago with the small equipment that they had back then when tractors haad no cab and no heat or A/C it makes you think of all the hell the old timers had to go through and many were just making enough just to get by every year.
Do you use a spreader when filling your grain bin Everytime we didn't use one we had that problem with the bin but Everytime we used a spreader not one problem with center rot I'm praying for your dad and his knee I understand what he is dealing with I'm in the same boat God bless you all
Grew up on a farm here in Yellow Springs, Ohio. My family got out of farming in 2001 and harvest is what I miss most! Keep it between the rows brother.
I hope your Dad's knee is ok and feels better soon.... Hope your harvest goes well...Thanks for the video and channel.
Oh the working words Jim must have said working on that tarp!!!🤬buckets🤬buckets 🤬BUCKETS
😎👍 〽️
Probably rhymed with smuck it..... or fother mucker
Honestly I don’t have a clue about farming but I have always been fascinated by big machines so it all works for me
Hi Zach ...all the very best for a good and safe harvest..
Our Scottish harvest went very well and we are very happy with barley yields. Hope your dads knee sorts itself out..take care..!
I wish you a speedy and hopefully pain-free recover with your knee Sir.
I hope your dad's knee heals quickly. Tell him to take it easy and break that new knee in properly 😁
I would recommend putting battery disconnection switches on those R series tractors. We did that on ours and haven’t had a dead battery since.
We have it on a couple machines and it hasn't helped a bit 🤣
Could do it yourself. On a car you pull the negative cable and put a test light in there to see if there is a draw. If there is, start pulling fuses until you find what is causing it. Dunno if tractors have a similar fuse box though.
Enjoyed the video. Your a good son looking after your dad like that. You only have them for a short time, best to do what you can for them while you can.
we are already 3 weeks into harvesting.... but i enjoy watching you guys while I'm in our combine. have a safe season.
“ they grow up so quickly “. Lolllll
Honestly kinda happy harvest isn't going to be a swamp. But that means Jim has less of a chance of getting a tractor stuck.
I will always enjoy some millennial farmer!!! Best channel on the tube!! Hope you’re dads knee isn’t banged up too bad and he has a speedy recovery! Much love from California to the whole millennial farms fam!
thankyou for what you do. Farmers are the reason we are all alive.
Oh no hopefully dad feels better and your season gets better yields
Both have been happening in the couple of days since this video, thank you!
All the best for harvest 2020 . Look after dad tell him take it take it steady and rest.👍
Hope the yield does get better and that your dad's knee gets much better as well. Y'all be safe. Can't wait for all the videos.
I have learned so much about farming from watching Zach’s videos. Thank you so much for sharing and keep them coming. Love it.
Hope your dad is OK, my wife has had both knees replaced and you need to be careful for about a year with how you get around.
Was going to comment the same. My bride had a knee done and it was a full year until she was back to "normal". I had a hip replaced and was back to full function @ about 3 months.
Hope your dad’s knee is feeling better
Kudos to your dad! i had both knees back in 08. No fun. Lots better now!
Thanks, Zach. I'm so pumped for harvest videos! I hope your Dad's knee was tweaked too much. Looking forward to the second day!
Having had a knee replaced, I can tell you for sure not to twist it. There is a tab that keeps it aligned and you don,t want to break it. Tell your dad to always step down on the other knee first.
They are rough getting over the surgery but well worth it after you survive those first months.
Your dad looks good after his surgery
I watched your video and noted when the hopper was full, a light blinks! Back in the day when I was on the farm and riding the platform of the JD 55H, we looked into the hopper and by golly, waved for the truck to come run along side to unload. I guess 65 years has definitely brought some improvements to the harvesting season, not to mention an air conditioned cab and no chaff down the neck or in your face. Life is good, ya? LOVE watching your channel. God Bless the tillers of land.
Prayers to your Dad, mine is 85 and has had his right leg amputated below the knee, still can't get him to slow down! Those old timers are built out of some tough stuff. Be safe and have a great harvest. Always feels good to get started and fantastic to get done.
Maybe an earth strap from the frame of the shed into the ground will help with the battery issues. Something's off with the magnetic field.love the longer vlogs .awesome.
Fun watching you “dial” it in.
Harvest 2020!!!!!! good luck what an great time of year to be a farmer Its Go Time!!!
Born and raised on a farm in Ontario, now a retired IT guy living in Newfoundland and I love this channel! And pop wearing the Harley T-shirt! 👍👍 My Dad had both knees done, gotta be carefull!
561 bu/ac isn’t too bad we’re pushing 620 here in mississippi😂
Rookie numbers! We are at 800 bu/ac😅
I’m Mississippi too we’re only 615 bu/ac
Rookies where at 2100
Those are end-row numbers.
Rookie numbers here in Missouri we get 9990 bus/ac😂😂😂😅
Seeing your dad with a cain makes me sad :(, hope he gets better soon!!!!
I sure hope the harvest turns out better than was forecast. Thanks for your description of the events of the day and night.
I’m from Iowa, I love that farmers are always working hard. Keep safe.
Now jim this season don’t get stuck this season.
I’ve bean waiting for some harvest action
😂bean
first name last name I’m glad some people caught it lol
For the uninitiated, this is a thorough tight operation, and you guys feed a nation via food grains and consumables. Admirable to watch.🔛
It’s been fun watching your videos bringing me up to date on the farming world I’ve been away from since my college years. I’m retired from the airline industry with 32 years flying over vast amounts of Americas farmlands in my many many thousands of hours airborne with the front office view. Perhaps you’ve seen a contrail from one of the Boeing’s I flew over the years. I always missed my time with my dad and the family farms of the 60’s and early 70’s doing the farm work for dad. I always held an interest in Ag and never forgot the smell of afresh plowed Iowa farm ground in the early spring! Thanks for all you do and keep it between the rows!
There's a spaceship under your land sucking up all the battery power lol
Keep up the good content
glad you are finally harvesting, prayers for a safe and plentiful harvest.
HARVEST.hope u get a good yield for the other fields. I’ve always wanted to be a farmer and you’ve taught me a lot more than I knew
I feel that we have a 6400 John deere front loader and no matter what we do we have to charge the battery for it to start
This harvest season find some Mike Rowe jobs and invite him over, could be fun.
Best wishes to your dad with his knee issue. Really enjoy your videos.
Hope your dad gets better !!!!!! Good luck on harvesting this year keep the great videos coming 👍
“Cart again”
No, it’s a pullover, but thanks for noticing...
Tic tac, sir?!
@@MillennialFarmer pozdrawiam z polski !!!!
The neighbors burned up one of their combines in soybeans last night, not sure what modle, pretty sure it is/was a S series JD
Thanks Zach! As always enjoying the videos and Off the Husk. Harvest time is great!
Hope your dad heals quick. Good to see you getting crop off while the weather is nice. Farm we go to in nd just finished beans
