I am the city boy from California that blows into northern Iowa every other year for two weeks to "help" with the family farms and the harvest. Run the combines, do some tillage, drink some beer, and fly back to CA. Your videos bring a new appreciation to me and all non-farmers as to what all farmers go through. If my dad were still alive, the stories of the past and amazement going from the Farmall B (which cousin had restored) and threshers to what you show would astound him. Blessing to all.
its always a fantastic time. But i get the easy part in an air conditioned cab. Best thing is for me is to shut up, drive, and not upset cuz by doing something stupid. Out of 30 or so trips back, it is sinking in slowly i guess. 🤔😎. Stay safe! ✌️

My 5-yo and I have been watching you for about a month now and I'm finally getting John Deere ads on the internet. Wish I had more than 0.68 acres. I did buy a Deere x350 to manage the land I do have. When I was thinking about buying it my wife said "You know there will be disappointment if you come home with anything other than green and yellow." Zach, wish you could have got the commission!!!
We had a teenager fall into a corn bin the other day north of where I live in western central Indiana and passed away. Please pray for the family. Please be safe out there as you farmers finish your 2019 harvest.
loved the last comment, "I miss the combine already". Only a farmer would understand. You work long hours for weeks, pushing for the end. Great days, frustrating days, long days. Will we get it out, will we get a decent yield, will anything else break. Focus, focus, focus. Then suddenly, its over. Kind of feel lost for a day or so.
I love watching your videos! I'm the Mom of three young millennials (29 - 33) and am so impressed with how hard you work and your wonderful sense of humor. When I watch you I think about how much I loved visiting my grandad on his farm (he was born in 1889). He would be so amazed with all of your equipment and the fact that you're still out havesting in the middle of the night. I also think about my older son the Army officer who is currently deployed and the hours he puts in, the danger and the really expensive equipment he deals with. I think you two are probably much alike. I imagine you knew you would work with your Dad when you were a kid. My son decided he wanted to go to West Point when he was 10 and darned if he didn't. You're both doing dangerous jobs and I thank you for it. You're part of a great American family. Hope you can relax now that the harvest is almost wrapped up.
A quiet day at the Fire Station has allowed me time to watch the last year of your video's. In the one from early spring this year, you spend the day dragging a battery charger around jump starting everything and wondering why the batteries are always dead. I maybe have a theory, It could be a combination of cold weather and the 2 way radios in the vehicles. Even though the display turns off when you shut off the ignition, The radio still draws power to maintain the radio program memory. Not a big deal when the weather is warm but in cold weather with the normal draw from the cold, the radio draw down just seems to happen quicker. We have to keep any vehicles at the station that are parked outside on shore power the help keep this from happening. Another way of helping it would be to put a Battery Isolator between the battery the radio power is connected to and the rest so the radio only draws one down instead of all of them. The video's are great. They are very informative and you are a good instructor. Enjoy your "off season"
I have always cut the strings on my hoodies as well . Grandpa told us about a guy who was caught in a lathe by strings on a hoodie that man was almost strangled when another worker saved him . We run a landoll vertical tillage tool that is 35 feet wide behind our 9560rt. It works great on corn stalks. We try to do long term notill but we still do tillage on heavy soils and we run a tillage schedule of every 4 years. a field gets tillage every year if we plant corn on corn. Nice video glad to see that your family got all of the crops in stay safe !
I see that you and this farm wife (Meredith Bernard) are going to be at the same farming conference in Nebraska. I would love to see you and her maybe some other do a video together. Farming large and small. Hardships and joys. The personal side of farming, the worrying about making it each year and the joy of finishing the harvest. Dreams for the future.
Congratulations, Zach to you and your team (family and helpers) for getting through a very tough harvest. I love your optimism, unfiltered humor and "can do" attitude. Well done. Well done. - Dean from Edina
Hey Millenial Farmer. I am a 30 yr old farmer from SW Indiana. Just found your channel recently. Love the videos keep up the good work and keep em comin
Just wanted to say, I'm really enjoying your channel. Thank "Cole The Cornstar" since I found his channel, I've found yours and others. Very informative, and good narration. The humor always helps!
Zach please tell Becky she out did herself with the editing on this video. great job Becky thank you for being a part of what has made this channel the number one Farming channel on You Tube. the hairdo wide eye look at 4:19 was great...
I was sure glad to get done with harvest this year. It was a grind for sure. But in the end it all worked out & we were even able to get all our tillage done. Already thinking about spring work 2020. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyed following you through 2019 harvest, hope 2020 is a way better year. Also enjoyed you getting your dad in some of the videos and him telling about back in the days. And getting your family in the picture of life of the American farmer. I hope to come see you next year.
I wish our Terragators and 4830 were lit up as well as this articulate. My depth perception is not good at night praying and spreading when I'm running a 70 or 100 foot machine is a pain. Great video. Definitely hope to see more.
Thank you for everything.. I love your videos and they make me feel better when I'm down.. i get made fun of for wanting to be a farmer but you cheer me up. Your the best
been watching your videos on the 82 in, and they are amazing as always, trying to see them all, but not enough hours to get them all. heartwarming to see a true family business succeed . you have a skill set for video. and the fact you flourish with your family in the cab regularly.. an inspiration for todays troubled family's. this is only my second comment to you. had to go back to the ASUS as I haven't figured out how to send a message with the t.v. keep up the awesome video's . circle is watching and subscribed now .. another American success story..
And just think if you forget what harvest 2019 was like it will always be on video for you to remember. Great job on the harvest and giving us the inside look of what a bad year is like
I was already considering subscribing because I love your content... but when you put that cold start clip in here... I was sold. These videos are really cool and you’re doing a great job on here, keep up the awesome work!!
I remember in the late 80's early 90's we would plow all our fields then disk after that. We placed anhydrous usually just before the first hard freeze. Times have changed!
There is one thing I must say when a man is down you know how to bring him back around after 80 hour shift 😀😎😀😎 keep it up enjoy them all be safe and best wishes to all
Zach would love to see you demo a quad track case, we pulled double scraper pans with the 450hp through swamps, never did we get them stuck. The machine ripped the pans apart. Only thing was keeping the tracks clean during freezing.
I'm so happy for you. I live in the middle of farm country. Western Nebraska. Kimball to be exact. A lot of corn the farmers can not get out. Snow coming again. We just had snow. Really sad for them here.
we use the discs almost only after grain or grass, it does a really good job at cutting it into slices and mostly we drive it in two ways so we have little squares. For other tillage we prefer a deep bender.
As a non farmer I love watching the videos and the information gained from them. Without giving more information then you are comfortable with could you provide some approx costs for some of the equipment and supplies you are using? You wrote a seed check what does it cost, you needed new tillage points what does that set you back, your combine was how much! I think this information would make us non farmers gasp at the expenditures and the business aspects of farming. Thanks to all,
ok first im 15 and i play fs19 but i have loved faring and john deere stuff since i was born i grew up my grandpas john deere 1070 compact tractor but now that i have been watching your vids and play fs19 i really wana be a farmer like really bad idk why but it just brings a special think to my heart but yeah idk what else to say but yeah love ur vids

The slicing of the pizza with vertical tillage...I laughed so hard on that about had to go find me bathroom...lol great video, and congrats on the finishing the harvest for 2019
Switch to Mighty Taco, (Buffalo, NY) Carne made daily on premises. But for more pratical needs oreder La nova Pizza Wings also Buffalo(Bucket=1 Pizza box), they even ship fedex for real! Love to see you slice and till some pizza? Looks good in that field. Yah duals with articulate equals a potty! Quint: Chief, your going to need a bigger boat!

Im a 12 year old Boy from denmark. It is nive to see how farms work in the us. I like your videos, keep up the good work.
Genius video editing with the Taco John's comment cutting to the shot of the combine firing up.
I noticed that to...kindof like "I know YOU RIGHT!"

What a fantastic way to finance scholarships for the next generation. Everybody wins.
Well done on this year's harvest!
I'm so glad to see you all wrapping things up! It wasn't easy, but you worked hard and stuck to it. Prayers were answered.
Test Plots -> $ for scholarships. What a great idea. Hats off to you guys that put the work & expense into making that all happen!

I don’t know about anyone else but watching cold starts make me feel all giddy
Dang! That has to be Soooo satisfying to finish up all that work. Well done and thank you for bringing us all along for the ride!
LOL! Mentions Taco Johns and then shot of the exhaust. Gold.
That cold start diesel exhaust right after the Taco John's remark was very well timed
And just think if you forget what harvest 2019 was like it will always be on video for you to remember.

Zach so happy for you finishing up. Can’t wait to see you tonight at the bowling ally. Look for the old school IH hat.
Congrats on finishing your harvest. In Eastern Iowa there is still a lot of corn in the fields and also some beans.
I remember in the late 80's early 90's we would plow all our fields then disk after that. We placed anhydrous usually just before the first hard freeze. Times have changed!
There is one thing I must say when a man is down you know how to bring him back around after 80 hour shift 😀😎😀😎 keep it up enjoy them all be safe and best wishes to all
I for one would like a 2hr episode.. ok maybe not 2hrs but longer than 15mins for sure. Wait all day to watch these.
Super nice cold start on the combine. 👍🚜
Good to see you complete harvest. Coming from good old MN, I know just how quick the weather and profits can turn! Keep up the good work!!
Hey Zach. Im super pleased that you have got fall harvest 2019 sewn up, it looked like a complete nightmare. I hope 2020 is more favourable.
Zach would love to see you demo a quad track case, we pulled double scraper pans with the 450hp through swamps, never did we get them stuck. The machine ripped the pans apart. Only thing was keeping the tracks clean during freezing.
I'm so happy for you. I live in the middle of farm country. Western Nebraska. Kimball to be exact. A lot of corn the farmers can not get out. Snow coming again. We just had snow. Really sad for them here.
Zach, so happy for you Guize. Tough year, and it still looks like a decent harvest.
I’m not a farmer but this is so satisfying 😂. Appreciate your hard work
Aww man, on the last set of rows of harvest every year I play “tonight’s gonna be a good night”... it’s just exciting to finally be done for the year
Ohhhhh baby can we all just take a second and appreciate the cold start on the combine❤
you should try a salford.. they work in mud as well and are a proper vertical tillage tool.. but they don't incorporate as much dirt
Sam going with the Jack's pizza. 🤘🏻
we use the discs almost only after grain or grass, it does a really good job at cutting it into slices and mostly we drive it in two ways so we have little squares. For other tillage we prefer a deep bender.
Disc tillage is used allot around here, major compaction problems now because if it. That's where vert tillage works better.
As a non farmer I love watching the videos and the information gained from them. Without giving more information then you are comfortable with could you provide some approx costs for some of the equipment and supplies you are using? You wrote a seed check what does it cost, you needed new tillage points what does that set you back, your combine was how much!

Well done on the harvest, lots of hard work.. adding to that consistently making great content for us ( the nearly 400k of us ) the subscribers.
The one thing I love driving our 9470r is because of the built in restroom.. it's honestly so good haha
That cold start after the taco bell tip... well done, well done😆
Is “blowing a hose on the ripper “ what happens after eating Taco John’s late night?
🤣🤣
Ahaha
Harvest 2019 summed up, "lots of mmmoisture."
@reelskeptic51 yeah it was from all the THUNDER storms.😂
More like "Farming 2019"
Haha u said moist
The grain cart must float over everything with those big ole tracks!!
All six finally warmed up. It fire up.
Happy for you Zach hope you had a good year hope you have a nice holiday with all your family
Being from Wisconsin I liked your Chris Farley quote "Quit playing with your dingy" !
Oh that cold start!! ❤️❤️
Finished already. That Claas must have mopped up some acres. The green and white will grow in you Zach. It looks great in the UK fields.
Happy to be done with the threshing. Greetings from Iceland.
ok first im 15 and i play fs19 but i have loved faring and john deere stuff since i was born i grew up my grandpas john deere 1070 compact tractor but now that i have been watching your vids and play fs19 i really wana be a farmer like really bad idk why but it just brings a special think to my heart but yeah idk what else to say but yeah love ur vids
Look at the Cheech !
On that cold start !
Great video ZAC ! Harvest 2019 was great best edditlng by far! keep them coming.
So when you harvest these test plots, do you keep the corn seperate or do you just note down the stats for those strips?
Just keep track of each variety then dump it into gen-pop!
They were together in the field so they have to be together in Sukup!!
Greetings from New Zealand, recently found your channel and enjoy it very much, living in a rural area myself I find your videos entertaining and informative on the running of your day to day life, keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more videos... 👍🏻🙂

At 4:00 that’s exactly how I felt when we had a week left, same look and everything
Congrats on making it through, and with very little breakdowns!
I may not be first
I may not be last
But when I see a Millennials video I click fast
Cool with strings. During Firefighter training I seen couple of PTO string
Would love to see an economics video breaking down the total yield, the ceopy insurance, equipment costs/financing/depreciation, field rent, fertilizer/planting costs etc.
Congrats on getting done. Thanks for your work! God bless
