- Farming Has NO Age Requirement...
Howdy, Name's Elijah. I'm 15, 4th Generation Farmer. We Farm 2000 Acres of Corn and Soybeans in Central Virginia. I Run the Grain Cart with a John Deere 8235R and Corn Planter with a John Deere 7530.
Have a blessed day y'all!
Matthew 6:34 ESV
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
we need more 15 year olds like him great attitude and great job
Thank you, appreciate it
100% correct!!!
He's more confident and seems to more comfortable in his skin than I am at 40
What a competent and hard-working youngster. His parents and grandparents must be proud of him.
Thank you!
@@OneFieldAttaTimedo you remember me I subscribe to your TH-cam channel and it got deleted
It's too bad more young men your age can't seam to be as level headed as you. You're a decent young man and not afraid to work.
Remember, a man with a shovel is never in trouble. He is too busy doing the things he must, rather than what he wants. Your faith in the Lord and family is inspiring. Thanks for another great video.
I really like that quote, thank you!
You’re a hard worker to just be 15. You should be very proud of
You are a hard working thoughtful young man, your family really needs you! Thanks for showing us your life.
Thanks so much! Absolutely, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Great respect for those who basically feed us. God Bless.
Thank you, God Bless.
New subscriber here!.Great content,man!.😎
Good on you. I did harvesting for four years for a friend’s family. Wheat, canola, barley hay. I grew up,in town and never farmed and I came to love it. I took time off work.. my father loved it and helped out my brother in law’s family. Couldn’t figure why then but I do now. I trued my hand at everything. Picking rocks from a burnt field. I was covered in ash. I loved every minute of it I loved the machinery I loved what i produced. I loved the farm meals and the sleep I slept at night. Sadly can’t find o farm to hire me. ❤❤❤👨🌾🚜
A handsome gentleman
I'm 52 years old. If there is one thing I miss from 40 years ago, it is the smell of my granddad's farm truck
I know what you mean, every time I ride with my papa in the combine I’m hit with nostalgia.
Thank you son for your great outlook on life. You work hard. City kids now days are not respective of our fragile environment. Kudos to you. I myself have been working since I was 14. I'll be 70 in 2 years. You have a good head on your shoulders, keep it up and you will go far.
Thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it. Have a great rest of your week sir!
I just subscribed to your channel, so that I can share your values with my 17 grand children. God bless you son.
God bless.
And he’s driving a stick shift. God I love this kid.. he emulates so much.
every teenager could work on farm or ranch when school is out during the summer. Elijah is the future of farmers
What a good boy!!!! He is a hard worker and cares deeply about his family. I wish all 15 year old boys were as well put together as this. He gives me hope for the future.
Oh, thanks so much. Have a blessed day!
This kid is what keeps this Country Trucking! Thank God for dudes like him!
Thank you!
@@airman329 I can see him going far with this Yt stuff if he can find time for it? He's a good worker!
WELL MY BOY.YOU ARE A GOOD WORKER.YOUR FATHER CAN BE PROUD OF YOU FABRICE DE FRANCE
Thank you!
I've no idea why TH-cam thought I'd like your video. I'm not a farmer, not even a country kid. But your video did enough to get me to subscribe. It's really eye opening as to what farm life is really like.
Really? I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Best summer of life as a kid was staying at Mr. & Mrs. Camp's farm for the summer when I was 15. Worked cattle, hauled hay, brushed hog fields, repaired fences, etc. Hard work, but you know you did something at the end of the day. Great job Elijah. As far as work and knowledge of work, you are way ahead of most. Also, family is the best!
Farm life is a good way of living. That’s exactly right at the end of the day being proud of what’s been accomplished. Thank you!
It's a rare thing to see a teenager like this in today's society. Most spent way too much time on social media and learning nothing. Keep it up young man!
Thank you!
True, but think about this, we are the parents of that teenage generation spending too much time on social media. Our parents complained that we spent too much time playing Nintendo and video games...our grandparents told our parents they spent too much time watching TV and smoking weed at hippy concerts...our great grandparents told our grandparents that they spent too much sitting in front of the evening radio...our great-great grandparents told our great grandparents that they took too long of naps under the oak tree while there was crops that needed to be tended...I don't know what happens before that lol.
I bet there’s a proud father on that farm.
Thank you.
Great video! I love that you take it all in stride and just do whatever needs to be done with a smile. Made me miss my farming days!
Thank you! I know, I haven't been at it very much lately, can't wait for harvest.
This is a very well produced video. I like the music, the different camera angles, the drone footage, and the explanations. This took some effort.
Thank you very much! It did, but I’m glad I have the opportunity to do it.
Hey bud, good See-ya back. I like the dancing filling the tractors up. 😂 I know every thing has grown alot since April, but the farm allways looks really great. Your dad should be very proud. Again glad to see you back. I'll let you go. Old Hickory, TN. 🇺🇸
Hey man! Thank ya a lot. Always look forward to seeing your comments. Have a great rest of your day.
You are doing a great job Elijah. Really enjoy your videos stay safe my friend
Thank you! You too man, have a great rest of your day.
I taught school for many years in a farming community and you remind me of my hard working students who would tell me all their farming stories! Great times! Keep living the dream, young man!🙏
Oh really, thank you! Have a great day.
You have such an amazingly positive attitude, and help out wherever you are needed. I sit behind a desk every day, as an accountant. I would hire you any day, even if you knew zero about the job. People with your positive attitude, willing to be a team player, are becoming increasingly rare. You clearly enjoy what you do. Keep doing it, as we are all dependent on farmers like you
You are right, young people like him are rare pearls... 👌
I’m watching a 15 year old with such wit, charisma and personality. Work ethic is unmatched. Kudos bruh.
Thank you!
@@OneFieldAttaTime pozdrowienia z Polski....
Hi Elijah! Glad to see you back and congratulations on getting over 2000 subscribers! Great video, I love your cheerful attitude and always smiling! You look like you'd be great to work with. Keep up the positive attitude, stay safe, healthy and keep smiling young man!
Hi there! Thank you, I really appreciate it. I’ll do my best. Have a great day!
Thank you for sharing, most city people have no idea about farming. Most just think food grows in a store. Thank God for young men like yourself willing to take over the rings of farming and feeding our country. Wishing you all the best 👍🏻
Absolutely, thank you! God bless. 😄
I just saw this video today. I’m so glad to see you’ve gotten so much activity on this video. As your grandma, I couldn’t be prouder of the young man you’ve grown into. Props to your Dad, Mom and Nanny and Pawpaw for helping to raise such a beautiful soul as you.
I know it’s absolutely crazy. Thank you! 😊
@@OneFieldAttaTime Yw❤️
15 Years old got it take on the Family Farm Business already and ease Dad work a lot. Eventually he will be his Farm that is going to be pass on to him. I'm Happy to See his Responsibility already good for you Boy
What a marvelous way of growing up! Being taught hard work, discipline, life skills and having fun while you're doing it. God bless you kid!
Thank you! It really is a blessing. Have a good one.
Nations and their peoples became successful because people young and old worked hard and very long hours. Farming has always been a long hard slog, as well as those who support this way of life. I remember my Grandfather who was a grower in the UK getting up at 4am to start his day almost every day, sometimes he had a lie in til 5am if his day was a little easier !! Well done young man you are going to have a great life ahead of you
When other kids his age are goofing off playing video games or smoking weed?.. this guy is actually working hard making something of himself and most definitely making his parents proud !
Great job , missed you Elijah hope everyone is doing well.
Thank you! Yessir everyone is doing well. I’ve just taken a little break hoping to get back to uploading more often
I watched the video again. Sorry it was the extra tank on the truck. 🫣
It was a plewaure watching this video! Your wisdom about whats really important in life
takes a lot of folks well into there adulthood to learn. Thank you
so many people do jobs they hate, you already have found your passion with 15!. Keep it going :)
You're exactly right! Thank you.
An impressive young man in action. There is hope for this world yet. With a load of personality and confidence this guy will go far.
Thank you. It means a lot. Have a great rest of your weekend.
This farm is in good hands that's for sure!
Pretty cool video. Spend as much time as you can with your Grandfather and Father. We never know how long everyone is going to be here. Impressive work ethic and a nice old power stroke pickup. You’ll have plenty of time to plant in the future. Enjoy your family and learn every you can, even the stuff you don’t think is important at this time. Be safe out there. Thanks for the Videos.
Thank you! You're exactly right, I don't want to take this time right now for granted. I appreciate it, you be safe as well, sir.
First of all, I have to apologize to many Americans because when I looked at TH-cam, I almost always ended up on pages that had to do with crime, drugs, fashion, baking cakes or depressed people. I don't know how I came across this video, but I just watched it.
And here I had to realize that there are completely different people in America. This 15-year-old boy showed me that. He showed me that you can be happy and content with hard work. The look on his face shows me that he likes the work. But many people aren't interested in that - unfortunately, he only has 4,600 subscribers. But that's real life - if he and others didn't exist, what would we be?
Why do people who upload clothes or other things to TH-cam have millions of subscribers?
Here we are shown that normal life makes many people happy. Thank for this video
Thanks for the Heart but the Heart is for you and your family. You work for us and we cant give something back🌎
Thank you, it means a lot. I’m glad you shared.
Awesome video . Great job. thank you
Thank you!
Really thoughtful planning and work. You got this!
Thanks!
Incredibly sweet and cute. And very nice facial features.
Good 👍 for you being a very responsible & trustworthy young man ♂️😊
You remind me so much of my friends and I when I was your age living in Ohio back in the 70's, except we would be riding in a tracker basket detasseling corn during the summer months (sun up until sun down)!
Hey Elijah. I enjoyed seeing you at work. The farm makes you grow up and mature fast. It's good to hear you talk about dad and grandpa and spending time with family. Your commentary revealed how happy and proud you are to work with your extended family. I am in Central Virginia too and always enjoy driving past our farms. Be safe with those big machines you handle.
Hey! Thank you. It sure does. But I sure do enjoy it. Really? That's crazy. Thanks, I'll do my best. Have a great week.
This young man is a refreshing change on YT. Reminds me of my childhood on the family farm. He's just awesome. Keep it up 💯👍✌
You are an incredibly wise man. I purposely said man because when you act like an adult you should be treated like an adult. God Bless You Sir!!
Thank you, sir! God Bless.
I’ve been called “sir “ before 😂. You making me feel old sir 😉😂
if the tractor is be careful. I had a friend years ago your age, he was on his grandparents farm and the tractor flipped over and he didn;t make it. I've never forgotten him even now. Glad you like farming though, farms keep this country going.
Great attitude, very positive and can-do, love it. Please always make safety your priority.
Thank you! I’ll do my best.
Looks good brotha. Cant wait to watch the rest of the video
Thank ya sir
Howdy Native Virginian! I was born in VA, but haven't been back in 40 years now. lol.. Gotta love being a Military Brat!
Guess your family tell you how much they need you it obvious from your vids you mean so much to them,
I just found your channel and am incredibly proud and excited to see younger adults following in their family's footsteps. While I grew up on a very large farm in Indiana, I knew from the third grade that I wanted to teach music, so I went to college. I kept my commitment and taught music and English before changing careers to work with AT&T. I retired from AT&T after thirty-one (31) years. I am anxious to follow you on your farming techniques, policies, and how your crops will turn out, sir. And, another kudos for seeing you driving a manual transmission pickup. I grew up on all manual transmissions, and while most vehicles are automatic, you will be glad you can conquer both.
Thank you man! I really enjoy working on the farm, I’m glad I’m able to make these types of videos to show farm life. Driving a manual transmission is such a great skill and I’m glad I’ve been brought up the way I have. Thanks for commenting, I’m super encouraged and thankful for people like you.

You’re the second person that’s said that 😂
Love this! I was fortunate to work a family farm in the Sand Hills of Nebraska every summer from age 10-16 in the ‘70s and this reminded me of the joy and pride of hard work and a day’s well done. From tilling and mowing the alfalfa fields in an old red Farm-All tractor, bailing/stacking hay (now there’s some true body building!), filling the corn silos and trying not to get sucked down and suffocated, driving the 8-speed grain trucks to the scales (at age 11), driving the newer Ford Tractor grading the fields and Combine through the wheat fields, moving the irrigation pipes in the corn fields every three days (this was before the crop circle irrigation) preparing the milk mix every morning for the orphan calves and hand feeding them, saving the piglets from being accidentally crushed by a mean mama, castrating the young hogs 😮, going on day-long cattle drives on horseback, fixing fences, branding the cattle. What a life! I feel so lucky to have experienced it and can see the joy you feel living it as well. Bravo to a fine young man!
That’s a life well lived if you ask me! Thanks for sharing. I’m glad I get to be a part of the farming community. Have a blessed rest of the day!
I’m similar to BomberFletch - not sure how your video appears in my feed. I’ve never been a farmer nor live near farms. It was very interesting to see how much work goes into farming and I normally just see the end result- the fruit & vegetables on the supermarket shelves. I’m an Aussie who appreciates good down to earth people and those have tremendous pride in their home town & country - something we need more of right around the world - keep up the good work !
New subscriber… I love watching these family farms on YT. I hope this channel blows up…
Thank you! This video surprised me honestly.
A testament to some pretty dang good parenting! I wish more young people were like you, Elijah! You are an inspiration!
Amen! I've got some good parents for sure. Thank you!
What an amazing young man,you have a good future
Thank you!
Thanks! I'm amazed at your work ethic at such a young age. I hope this helps you make more videos.
Wow, thank you so much! It sure will. Have a blessed day!
I'm from the Netherlands and watching your Channel. You work hard and it's very awesome that you can operate big machinery. A great responsibility. Kids these days can learn of your hard work and good attitude.
Thank you!
Hello! I myself am from a village in Ukraine and now live in Kyiv. I love the village and village life) You don’t have villages like those in Ukraine, but the fact that you are engaged in farming deserves praise!! You are a young and well-bred guy. May everything be fine in your life!
Thank you!
What a wonderful video I stumbled upon. Most young men your age need to take a page from your book and learn some hard work. There are 15 year old kids who need to be picked up from school because they can't walk a half mile in their Pjs and crocs and here you are driving a manual transmission and a HUGE piece of farm equipment. Hats off to you!
Thank you! I appreciate it. God Bless.
Wuaoo hard worker farmer boy, nice 👌 congratulations for being a good support to your dad.
Thank you!
I won't lie, I'm pretty jealous lol. Mama and daddy were farm kids into their twenties before marrying. Since then it's been suburbs. I've always felt like a farm boy and always wanted a farm to tend to. What a life.
It really is a great life! Thanks.
Great video, its insane that this is from April my farms already on second cutting hay!!
That’s crazy! Thank you.
Nice! I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
You are an incredible role model for all the young men working on farms in America and around the world!!!! What fine young man and an appropriate first name, Elijah!!
The second child of God that was taken to heaven without dying. Hallelujah Elijah, you are amazing🚜🌟🚜🌟🚜🌟🚜🌟
Looks to be a hard working God fearing young man
You don’t even know me and I’m proud of you.
Absolute pleasure to watch this blessed young man, so eager for multiple tasks and work. Sadly so rare......a role model for the world. Thanks and best regards.
Yep, sounds a lot like me when I was 13. Glad that many, many decades later there are still some teens who become productive and very independent.
i can remember my dad farming, being meticulous about everything when it came to seeding and harvesting. I just never caught the farming bug, but I can appreciate those who do see it as their vocation. The Good Lord knows we NEED farmers to help put food on OUR tables!
Oh ok, it really is a great way of life.
What a great young man you are , only if there was more younger folk like you , great video well made
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
What an amazing video and channel. God bless you, Elijah, and your family. You’re a legend young sir. 🙂
@frpaddy Thanks so much. You too!
Hi from Canada, Elijah I don't know which I am more impress with you driving that farming tractor or you driving the old pickup truck with the stick-shift ? God bless you young man and your parents for raising a fantastic son who is not afraid of hard work. 🙏 😊 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 👍 to you in America 🇺🇸
Hi there! Thank you. God bless.
You are Awesome & Impressive! Keep working hard, spending time with fam, & enjoying it :)
Thank you!
Great video you are an excellent story teller in the way you put together this video.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Great video for the casual person who doesn’t really know anything about farming apart from farming simulator. The more people like you in our generation the better! Hello from the other side of the pond in the United Kingdom! 🇬🇧
Cheers bloke! Did I get that right?
@@OneFieldAttaTime Cheers pal, or Cheers mate is used the most I think but it is close, but I’d use cheers pal or cheers mate, you would get some funny looks if you said “cheers bloke”, it doesn’t really make sense. Haha
@thomas947 Oh gotcha, really? 🤣
@@OneFieldAttaTimeyep!
That truck at the start has seen some good ware !
For sure!
i love that your papa gives you a hard time
For sure haha!
Very entertaining! Love the camera angles and drone shots! These are not the usual videos I watch and don't know why it was recommended. But, I found watching you work on the farm to be very educational! working a farm is probably a lot of work, but you make it look easy! Each scene was interesting and just the right length to keep things moving along. You've peaked my interest and I subscribed to see more of your farm life! Thanks for sharing your day with us!
Thank you! I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, it always brightens my day to hear from viewers.
You're very courageous and work with passion. In your area, the earth seems silty or clayish with limestone in some places. A fertile soil with good crops.Thank you for your videos. See you. Yves,from France,south of central Paris basin. 👍
Thank you very much!
Elijah just became a new subscriber, because I admire your attitude and work ethic. For a 15-year-old young man, you are very mature.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Eli, lol, I thought Virginia was famous for tobacco, so impressive with your family farms 2000 acres, equally very impressive, and so blessed.....plus..... thanks

I love the playful banter, back and forth, between Elijah and his Paw paw!! ❤😂😂😂😂😂😊👍😁😀

Ты настоящий мужик.В таком возрасте все делаешь сам.У нас таких уважают
Thank you. 👍
Hi 👋 handsome youngster be safe out there 😊
Not that I "wanted" to get into farming, but, I wish I would have had more life lessons from my grandparents who farmed. I am happy and proud of what I did learn from them. Grandpa has been gone nearly 40 years, and grandma 20 years. Not to show bias against other farm equipment brands, but, nothing l enjoy more than hearing an "old John" start up. Grandpa had a B and a G. Hearing them start and hearing them "putt" along, or putt really hard as he sped up. I've often wondered if he was annoyed when myself and my younger cousin stood on the axle housing, holding onto the armrests of his seat while he worked. Someone told me, he didn't mind at all, or he wouldn't have let us ride with him. ☺
Such a good looking, hard working young man. ❤ side note, you have really good teeth and such a great smile, keep being yourself and you will be very blessed in life
Thank you! 👍 Have a blessed day.
@OneFieldAttaTime wow you reply back fast lol you have a blessed day also
@jamieridenour1275 Haha, thanks!

on so much responsibility. Cool guy!
New viewer/subscriber. Love your videos!!!! God bless you!!!!
Thank you so much! God Bless.
You are a very industrious boy! My suster and brother in law own a farm in the south of England, just 10.5 acres but quite photogenic though. Of course, the USA is a very big country, so I expect your farm is much bigger.
Thank you. Oh really? We farm about 1800 acres, most of it is rented though.
Wow! That'll be a hell of a lot of work. God bless you for being so cheerful!
Glad I Subscribed buddy, family is everything buddy, God bless Mr. Steve
Thank you. God Bless.
Just stumbled across this channel yesterday and I don't regret it! Your unique attitude seeks its rival in this world, outstanding! You're such a charismatic young man. I'm seriously not into farming but your style here is such a mood 🤩. And your melodic voice supports that perfectly.
Although I'm not christian at all (pagan/wiccan/animism here) YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT. How you are is quite rare in this world. Clean, positive and most of all authentic. An absolute role model for younger people and also for (much) older people whom doesn't reached your level..? (maybe the wrong word 😅).
Seriously it's so refreshing to see someone (15 y.o.) not wasting time with stupid social media and other toxic unnecessary stuff. Responsibility, hardworking, motivational, discipline here is unmatched!
Keep it that way!
