Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

Lenny helping out was priceless. 👍
He is a good helper!
Andy 300 hundred acres was a good experiment! I have thought that there might be a need for a heavyish equipment play park where someone could go and try their hand at tearing stuff up. I'd like to give an excavator a "hurl". Lenny is styling in those boots and thanks for interpreting the Lenny speak.
Agreed. It was 300 acres of some of our best draining ground. That reduces the risk! The play park would be fun and feasible if the equipment was so darned expensive!
Adam, great informational share man. I really enjoy watching you and a few other farm channels. As an ex grain trader who always wanted to be a farmer, I live through you guys now. Every time we'd go out and look at farms for sale, I'd overthink it and hence, never ended up with a farm big enough to make it worth it. It's hard work, but surely a rewarding life. To work the earth and grow stuff is the ultimate. Trading it was mostly a great job, even with the big financial swings. However, at the end of the day, I had nothing I could actually hold in my hand like a chunk of earth or a handful of corn or beans that I grew. No regrets, mostly because I feel like I'm able to get the real experience from you, Zack, and Chet. Thanks for the sharing man. I love your dogs, that Golden in particular. We had a bunch of them over the years, WHat characters they are. Hoping you and your family have a good season and looking forward to upcoming shares. Cheers from north of you in Illinois way out in farm country
I liked the "Lenny adjustments" comment. 👍👍
I thought your backhoe work was outstanding 👏
The wait to get started.
I saw you walk down the ladder, and then all of a sudden, the tractor started and started moving. I thought it was Lenny doing it.
We are 1/2 done planting.
We are at 25% maybe. It keeps raining every few days!
I can see that is wet and I am 200 miles away and weeks in your future!
It isn't that wet. It just keeps raining everytime that we are close. It is early still!
Andy great content as always. It's great to listen to your knowledge. Keep the action coming and definitely look you up at the next one. Stay safe!!
Much appreciated!
You should talk you’re dad into buying that perty kenworth that’s sitting I you’re yard buy fuel barrels that is on perrty truck 😊
That is a western star. We really don't need anything that fancy. It would be nice to have a sleeper on a truck for pulling the tanker so the driver could have somewhere to relax while sitting.
You will have to get your children a nice toy Tonka bulldozers.....live you dreams thru them.....maybe a little less messy too........😃😀
That isn't a bad idea! Lenny sure loves to get messy, so that will be right up his alley.
Did you end up keeping the golden?
8:00 Who else tried to smash the bug?
I saw that, too. I don't know how I didn't notice it in person... haha
Who truck is parked on the scale?
So this was filmed on 15 March 2024?
No. It was in early April. The soybeans that were planted a few videos earlier were on the Friday before Easter. I don't remember exactly...
What’s up with the black western star on ur farm?!!
I found this explanation on the interwebs. "Black Star (semiclassical gravity) a theoretical star built using semiclassical gravity as an alternative to a black hole." That should explain it, 🌠
Do you ever use a rotary hoe on crusted ground
We haven't in years. There is one parked in the shed, though. Rotary hoes seems more necessary for May planting. Higher average temperatures and harder rains usually pack the ground in more.
Your starting to get some work out of Lenny . Looking like he's ready for a pedal tractor
Work...yes. I need him to get trained on a scoop shovel. That's where I started...
I don’t understand you guys walk out and check the fields dig up the dirt the only way that’s gonna dry out if you work it where we used to do it years ago what the😊
You can tell a lot about the prospect of tillage by taking a shovel in the field. Surface-level visuals don't tell the whole picture on some soil types.
