Great video. Farmers/ranchers... the best, never give up, smart, hard-working, straight-forward, thrifty, clever, positive, family-oriented folks
Hey Zack, I'm totally "blown away" by the tool chests you guys have !! You guys have got it ALL !! Every tool you could possibly need !! You must have thousands of dollars invested, just in tools alone !! I guess that's part of your cost of doing business ? I'm more than impressed, my friend. Just love following you, your Dad, Jim, Becky and, of course, your kids !
Oh, add your dogs, too !! Keep your GREAT sense of humour !!
When I am slowed in my trip by a farmer on the road for any reason I just enjoy the opportunity to see what farmers are doing, no worries.
Don't care about the mud or the wait I have time and my car can be cleaned thank u guys for putting food on my table for me n my family
Thank you sir
You need to convince more people to think that way
Doug H. I actually enjoy watching farm equipment working.
The corn doesn’t go on your table....
@@G-Man-kc2nm corn is in everything
Love the videos. My son is a farmer and it has made me appreciate farmers so much more. Thanks to all the farmers.
His insights are very appreciated, he is very knowledgeable
watching this four years later is amazing. you guys have gone a really long way and its crazy
What ever it takes to get job done. Everybody please have patients for the farmers who work 24/7. Thank you for my food. Be safe always.🤟
Don't apologize for stopping traffic you put food on the table and for that I salute you.
You never fail to raise a smile. The unnecessarily aggressive, “Hey, thanks for watching” had me spitting out my beer. I don’t know how you find enough hours in the day to work the farm and edit videos. I guess the donut angel helps!
My wife has been taking on a large amount of the editing, that makes a HUGE difference!
@@MillennialFarmer I think it's overdue your wife needs a raise. 😅🤣
@@AwesomeBlackDude a good is an asset to farming and any business they can make or brake you
@Bryan Hawks plll
Jim + Tractor plus cultivator Plus mud equals Jim is stuck
I'm a city guy life long, but I really like this guy and his clips keep me glued to the monitor. Keep up the good work!
same
So much has changed in the last 5 years from this video makes us Viewers proud of your accomplishments
I can be a harsh dude with my comments. You are the funniest dude around. I know you have a lot of critics with your exposure. I think I really feel for you because our farm was attacked by the government and the crooked corporations stealing our hard work. Good luck. I have total empathy for your family. Godspeed!
some of the best video's I've ever seen yes please keep them coming
Thanks for all the great farming videos. I have learned allot from just watching them. I grew up in the oilfield and never knew about farming etc. Please keep up the great work you. All do and be safe. Also I'm glad your daughter is gonna be ok. Can't wait till your next videos. Thanks!!
Woooaaahhh!!! You make this world go around!! Never say sorry for loading on the road! Without you we have no roads or ppl!!!
Love how videos are uploaded daily. Makes the experience more immediate and real. Mud sucks, rain sucks, but farming is the life.
Your channel is great. I look forward to all the videos. Keep them coming. Thank you for being a farmer.
Love ur vids man keep it up. I've learned so much from ur videos
Man you are an amazing dad hard working teaching and helping your kids learn about farming man keep up the good work I enjoy your videos 🤘🏽
Wherever I am I always share the road and have lots of patience and respect for farmers. Good of you Zach to bring light to the issue of inconsiderate and impatient drivers on the road. Darn rain is really hammering you guys....so sorry to hear that brother. Best of luck moving forward. Cheers.
From Italy I have to say congratulation for the hard word and the passion for the videos.
And always GO VIKINGS 💜💛
Ahhhhhhh....... Sandwiches and coffee in a nice warm cab while burning diesel. Life is good in that little world!!!!!
My day is always made when I watch one of your videos.
Your my Fav pastime as an elder these vids keep me informed of the awsome jobs Farmers do all over our lands tytyty and be safe too....=) GB
Never apologize for anything brother you put food on their plates
Doesn't bother me if you load corn in the road, take your time. I live in Florida.
Lol!
HAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAAHAAHAHAHA
Bo Starbird - yea, but sometimes you have to stop and wait for the Alligators to cross the road. and what about those Burmese pythons? I can just imagine they would be like a long slow freight train.
Me too :)
I do have one question being that I was raised on a farm. I am curious why you would harvest acreage which did not have such a good yield normally and not get your best yield first if there were issues of bad weather coming and possible lose of part of the crop. I am sure there is a perfect explanation, just thought I would ask.
Sunny W - on my land areas to be harvested first has to do with not tracking weed seed, fungus or other diseases to areas not yet infected. a combine is a sure fire way to move these undesirables from one acre to another.
My daughter and son in law have a farm. I learn a lot about what they go through running a farm by watching your videos.I play Farm Simulator every day while I watch your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your farm life. Your kids are great. I enjoy it when they go out in the equipment with you. I love taking my grandkids out when I help on the farm. It makes the time go faster.
She is such a cutie. Looks like she enjoys hanging out with dad. Stay safe up there.
HEY! Thanks for the bonus harvest footage.
His insights are very appreciated, he is very knowledgeable
He's like an angle with doughnuts 3:22 lmao 😁😁😁
obtuse? or acute?
breathe and squeeze he’s acute angle
Read this comment before I saw this, ‘twas confused
He is very creative, I like his style
Bless your daughter, she loves being with you whether it’s in the tractor or truck
I just stated watching you channel and like your content. You show just what it takes to be to be a farmer today and all the things one has to deal with. Good luck in getting the rest of your crop in and I hope you don't get much rain.
The scale of the corn harvesting process these days would have been unimaginable to me as a little kid in the late fifties. My grandpa had a one-row tow-behind corn picker that he used to harvest. My dad was just starting out on his own small farm, and I remember helping pick corn by hand. My dad converted an old hay wagon for corn harvesting, with a bangboard in the middle. He'd park it in the field and then pick the ears off with a special handheld husking tool and bounce them off the bangboard from however far he could toss them, then move down the field a bit and repeat. The ears would then be shoveled into our corn crib, which was maybe 12' long and 4' wide. He only did that for a couple years, then switched to soybeans after our neighbor bought an Allis Chalmers combine, which he let us use.
My dad also put up hay for the cows, using an old horse mower and a dump rake. He would throw the hay piles by pitch fork onto the hay wagon. The hay would be put up loose in the barn by hay fork. Hard to fathom how this could have occurred in my lifetime.
In the time of the good old days and model A's (with running boards) ;)
@@PeteThecurious100 Late 50's/early 60's, actually.
@@markwheeler202 Thank you, Whoops! ;) About the time of the classic Ford Thunderbird, Now those really were the good old days.
Congrats man your channel is doing great.
another great video zach you really are good at making these videos thanks
Loving the harvest vids! Music, editing and content on point! Keep em coming! Cheers from Saskatchewan!
I recently found your channel. I was born and raised in MN. My grandparents were dairy farmers until a barn fire in the 60s. But they kept going with corn and soybeans for another 35 years. Love your vids, your machines and that great accent. It reminds me of the times I had on the farm with the family. Keep it up!
I am so glad you pulled the combine in I would hate for the cab corn to get wet
I just finished corn here in southern Ontario last night and now I am watching corn harvesting on TH-cam. Man I have issues!!
Honestly have not ran into the loading issue as a motorist but now I know it only takes a few minutes. Thanks for the insight, love the videos.
*about 20 bushel on the ground from over spill* Glad the gage works!
You made me spit my Dr. Pepper out on my TV!
BNSF Bandit best place for Dr Pepper (spit out)
Does Zach have a cab corn meter now?
I enjoy his videos, he has a great personality
Good luck with harvest
Zach you're a legend man.
Crazy to see this older video! You’ve come a long way since!
I guess the one dislike was the guy in the car who passed on the shoulder of the road?
i think so too hhh
Did they need help with getting out of the ditch? If they're in that much of a hurry, leave sooner.
Sorry I have NO patience for people who think they are more important than anything else.
I enjoy his videos, he has a great personality
Damn farming simulator 2019 looking good
thanks for the video Zach
Love it. You are a lovely person. We love everything you do with farming.
Keep up the great work& God bless your family.
One time i was scraping the mud and someone was honking at me all the time... well i'm glad I have a truck horn on my tractor..
"I know there's a bathroom out here somewhere" lol
@Damnit Bobby lol
tmi
@Damnit Bobby #2 can be off the ladder too!!
@Damnit Bobby go off the top!!
👏🏻😂
Quality videos can't get enough of your content! Best of luck with the rest of the harvest.
Thanks Zach
*Video should have been titled "I'M SORRY!!!"* lol, awesome vid, THX.
We also load our trucks on the road when harvesting sugar beets. Not very popular, but we have at least a warning sign for slippery road 😎
Really we load on the go next to the lifter even if it's muddy
I know this is your livelihood and you work hard at what you do but I could watch this 8 hours a day and never get bored.. Thanks for posting
Hey Zach Thanks for sharing harvest 2018 with us. I'M trying to get mother nature to give you good harvest weather. Ila looked so cute in the truck with you what great memories she will have your an awesome Dad!!!
I like his style, he is very creative
1:07 so this is where orange bic lighters are grown
zack i know what you are talking about,we had to fill trucks on the road,then the cops came out and told us to get them of the road, i asked the cop if my trucks where licensed and for road use and if road fuel tax didnt allow my to do this,he could not answer my.he left.
auto-correct on phone?
the only other options are to pull the trucks through the mud (that would make a mess of the road), or if you had a gravity waggon and auger you could fill the trucks from the field and eliminate the mud, but that would cost a lot of time.
In MN your plates and road fuel tax definitely don't allow you to do this. MN Statues 160.2715 Right-Of-Way Use, (a) Except for the actions of the road authorities, their agents, employees, contractors, and utilities in carrying out their duties imposed by law or contract, and except as herein provided, it shall be unlawful to: (1) obstruct any highway or deposit snow or ice thereon
The section contains no exception for farmers.
I don't think the Sheriffs department is going to hassle them during harvest.
Give the cop some donuts!😁
Nothing but respect for the farmers! I’ll sit and wait all day for you guys... I’ll just watch Millennial Farmer while I wait lol! Awesome videos buddy, keep em coming!
I like his style, he is very creative
Dude! This is some crisp, as in picture quality, video. Thanks.
If you want your "corn flakes" you're gonna have ta wait 3 minutes ✔
As long as it can be cleared quick for emergency vehicles,I don't see a huge problem,it's fairly obvious it's a farming community,you should be expecting that type of delay on occasion
@@nicke1903 exactly. Being a farming community is the key. If there were emergency vehicles we would immediately stop everything and clear the way
He is very knowledgeable, I appreciate his insights
I'll take your cold and rain if you take this damn hurricane. Sounds like a good swap from my end. LOL. This thing is going to devastate most of the 2018 cotton crop. What cotton it doesn't blow off it is going to blow the plants over. Praying for all the North Florida and Georgia farmers.
South Georgia Farming - I'm guessing you are talking about the approaching Michael? I'm up in central North Carolina and still have long maturity group 7 beans in the field. Florence gave me 7.5 inches of rain and thank God no real wind damage. at least Michael is projected to be fast moving. speak a Word of Faith and say my plants will withstand the storm. then believe what you said so you are protected. there is a power in the spoken Word. God spoke His creation into existence. Jesus said "peace be still" to kill a storm. you say, my plants are going to do a little wind dance and be just fine. God loves you, release His power through your spoken word....
Great video. Your right. Farmers gotta do what they gotta do. It is what it is. Thanks for taking us along.
You gotta make it all work some how, be safe out there, always enjoy seeing how it all works and comes together!!
Doesn’t bother me when farmers load on the road. Totally understand.
Lol you almost sound Canadian with the amount of “sorry’s”
Watching this in preparation for this coming harvest. Promises to be a real dewzy.
Hello from a small farm in the northern parts of Sweden! Nice to see how things are runned overseas, in similar conditions!
Zack fuel tank trailer is Great idea beats paying Registraion Insurance inspection Repair maintenance etc for a Fuel Truck
ZACK 👈🏼 🤔 .....
YOU @ YOUR AGE KNOWS HOW
TO SPELL ( ZACH 👈🏼 ) CORRECTLY
Right 🤔 ????? ......
@@blitzburghbilly7813 it's spelled both ways..
@@chunkmen
OK THERE ( 2 Cent ) 👈🏼 .......
WHERE & WHEN 🤔 ??? .....
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN IT SPELLED
or USED WITH THE ( K ) IN IT ??? ....
several of my friends have it spelled as zack, as well as several film directors, and famous athletes. not spelled zack there is also Zac Efron.
Come on man, get off his butt! I have two friends named Zack (not abbreviated), and at least 3 more named Zachary (Zach abbreviated). It truly does go either way, and you may need to re-evaluate your temper if you're getting upset about possible incorrect spelling of a name that isn't even yours on the internet. Grow up, nobody is perfect! Also, until you use proper grammar, I wouldn't really worry about other's spelling, grammar, pronunciation..etc. Have a good day and stay safe bud!
Hey if you have to load on the road.. then load on the road. What people don’t understand is that you have to make a living as well. Another fact people don’t get is that without farmers we have no food. People got to learn things they don’t understand..
We have been using the roads down here as well. So far our grain cart operator has been told he was number one 3 times, helped a lady who go stuck trying to go around us and we’ve had a visit from the sheriff once. Loading on the road is just great fun.
Zack...don’t apologize. Never apologize for what your doing. Nothing wrong with what needs to be done during harvest or planting time.
Watching born to farm 101 livestream also!!!
Derek Adams thanks for watching!
@@BornToFarm101MN thanks for streaming man
Little mud never hurt no one, well there was that one time.. Raining now here in MPLS, or should i say STILL...
So enjoy these videos Zach, I appreciate the time and effort, I have spent several 1000hours in the combines, yet I still love the sound of a cold start Deere,Magic
I realize they might not catch it all with the wind but safety glasses do have a purpose. I sympathize with your muddy conditions but even more pleased to talk about the cost of "tracks", etc. Keep up the good work...
GODSMACK HELL YES
Got any Pantera ?
Now THAT was music! Godsmack, FFDP,
For Pete's sake we are SORRY!
Dangit! I missed a perfect opportunity for that!
For the most part people are just in too big of a hurry to go nowhere , I was raised on a farm and sometimes you just have to get the crops in! There is no courtesy for others just trying to do a job and I always say if you're in that big of a hurry , you should have left sooner!
lol you guys go above and beyond! You shouldn’t feel bad for the work you do! Everyone else can slow down for a minute!
BTW, your batting a 1000! I have yet to leave without a laugh or a smile, and I see I check your channel before anything else now. Way to go, keep them coming! Love that family of yours as well
He is very inspiring, I admire his passion
If you want to see idiots drive pull some farm equipment onto the road. Never fails.
That’s the truth! I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. There were no shortages of idiots driving!
Put a concrete truck stopped in the road. Same result
I am by no means a farmer but with me living in the country and the countless times I have been stuck between machinery and have cars try to pass when it is unsafe I will always protect the farmer and try to block that car from passing when it is unsafe. Even when machinery are in the road or semis are in the road and getting loaded from the tractors I will always pull in on a angle to block that other lane so that car can't get through until it is safe to do so.
That or rubbernecking. Of course they will do that if there is just a squirrel or something shiny.......or a shinny squirrel!
So do you guys power wash these machines weekly? In my opinion they're just too expensive to just let sit an be muddy, I know with my small bx2370 subby I like to atleast give it a scub once a week.
You can now add that fancy led to the discharge orger now :)
It's on my list!
Excellent!!! Do you plan to add any other led lighting? :)
when it rains it get muddy
Thank you for what you do man
Love it..keep them coming
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and corn harvest!!!! #SKOL
The townies sometimes need to be reminded that the roads were built to
facilitate farm money in the first place. It's just that they get to use the roads
the 364 and 44/100s days of the year. It's like the interstates were intended
to facilitate the military and convoys get grumpy looks from minivans.
It's a hoot seeing people trying to tailgate tanks, what? are we going to be
intimidated? It's better to hang back some in case one of those 5lb blocks
of rubber flies off the track.
Not many people know that the Interstates where built to mobilize armour across great distances,
rochrich we have a two hour tractor drive from one farm to the other. Amazing how impatient people can be and how dumb also. Passing on a double yellow curve or nope stopping for our flagger as we approach over passes or bridges that can’t handle the tractor and their car...
@@adamkruskama8455 my mom had somebody get so impatient with her driving the speed limit that they passed and made my mom and an oncoming 180k semi truck both take the dirt shoulders to keep from hitting that a$$hole
tractorboy31 yeah we try and pull over where there is space but on one road there is only 3 spots in 20 miles. Almost a few close calls town people are of questionable intelligence
@@adamkruskama8455 evidently some people missed that sign during their DL examination. Should there be a moving violation ticket for the ones who interfere with necessary farming operations. I'm positive that there's a ticket for leaving too much mud on the road.
Absolutely like watching your videos keep up the good work man!
Thanks for another good video. Cool in-video plug for Mac. MN guys sticking together in the mud.
Who cares about townies worried about the roads. They can just stay at the gas station drinking coffee all fall
Your video is private
Quit out of it and go back in
Thanks for producing excellent content that is both entertaining and educational.
Hands down the best farming videos on TH-cam! I’m from Western, Wi and love watching the videos.

@Ross Kendall Yeah the stock & crypto market has plentiful opportunities to decent payout, so with the appropriate right skill and proper understanding, of how the market works, you did be Great.
@@christiangrace4586 An investment in knowledge pays the best interest
Crypto is highly profitable. But you don't just buy it and store.. You have 70% opportunity of loosing if you just store your Crypto without investing it.. IT like having Goods and Services without marketing IT..
But where are the more credible source to learn about forex and bitcoin trading?
@@theodaniel5491 Anyway, there are different kinds of crypto, it all depends on the crypto you are willing to learn and invest on it. Maybe you should get to the likes of xavier keit. A business performance coach
You do what you have too. No need to apologize. Farming is tough and do what is necessary
thank you for your service to this great nation!
I grew up out in rural Minnesota and can tell you there has only been a couple of time I have had to wait for trackters and farm equipment. Just give them a break they are hard working people just like you. Great videos bring me back to my childhood seeing all the farm activities.
Awesome footage of pulling the combine in the shop... shows how big the rig actually is. Very good video, keep them coming! Hope your weather turns for you guys.
Thanks for the Videos!
Great video the editing is on spot!!
Love that you have your daughter with you. It's a shame more parents don't do the same, doesn't matter what you do, just spend time with them the reward is the greatest.
