- 7th Generation Farmers-10 year old Rhiannon and 13 year old Onyx wrapping up Harvest 2022 on Johnson Farms. Rhiannon received her first lesson in the Grain Cart and Onyx had his first experience driving the Combine all on his own. From the outside looking in our Big Shiny John Deere equipment might make it look like some big evil corporate farm but in reality most farms are family operated. #WhoDidItBetter #farmkids
13 year old Onyx is officially operating the John Deere Combine solo with his own camera and all! #TheFutureOfFarming

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture. With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

Good job dad

amazing isn't it? i enjoyed it sooOO much!
Good job
Zach you have to be a very proud dad to have 2 of your kids helping on the farm.
I bet grandpa gets all flustered and happened to be chopping some onions if he watches this video
@@TheBibliofilus Mean while Zach starts humming "Butterfly Kisses" watching his baby girl grow her wings.
@@TheBibliofilus them onions will get you every time!
@@bobbybenefield I'm not crying, you're crying! Lol.
That's right, I wish my two sons would enjoy these farm jobs too
It's crazy how in one part of the US kids are driving combines, and in other parts of the US parents are being arrested for letting their kids walk to school.
Đ
Good Dad = Good Kids. Our country needs more families like yours!!!!!!
Most farm families are raising good kids and ensuring a future of farming. However this is in jeopardy as the smaller farms are Still going away and these opportunities won't be there. There will still be combines and grain wagons and spring equipment to use but the kids are going to have to adjust. These kids believe in the future of farming . . . Does it sound familiar
Kind of choked me up watching those neat kids driving those machines.
Yepppp
💯
@@frankmartin8471... young farmer's ❤😊
Look at Onyx still being a kid, driving a huge machine, all confident and alert, and stuffing his face with chips and wiping his hand into trousers!
Amazing!
The exact way every kid should be raised.
kids will be kids
That made me laugh...he looked like a 20-yr veteran! 😂
@@JohnTurner313 yes sir... just how I am in the combine... C4, Reign, Coffee, or Mtn Dew in the cupholder... Potato Chips, Cheetos, or Chex mix in one hand, and my jeans used as a napkin.
I grew up same way..
Onyx's opening tune made me laugh. Like father like son, auto steer on, eating chips! Again much respect for Zacks patients in teaching the littles and for the littles for wanting to learn.
Gentile, patient, teaching, instilling confidence from a dad that loves them. Just think if all children had a dad like this.
The weapons industry and the drug cartels would hate it. Too much happiness, no depressions, can't have that. 🤣
My father taught me how to drive a Cat when I was 6. He rode around and just watched me drive for a while, and then turned me loose on my own, discing and harrowing a field. My mother kind of freaked when she realized I was out there by myself. I felt like the King of the World alone on that tractor with all that power. That was 70 years ago. I still remember the thrill of being trusted alone on that tractor. King of the World.
@@b.v.nielsen8714what in the fuck are ya in about buddy 😂
And here I thought he was Jewish.
They are taking away all of our farms, and at the same time, taking away parents turning their children into adults. Thank goodness we still have families like this that are persevering.
Wow this dad is what the world needs, cool calm and intelligent man, beautiful intelligent kids, fantastic
That's the way it was on farms and ranches in the 1950s.
Outstanding job Mom and Dad teaching your kids the importance of work.
That's really nice to see two of the kids working in the fields. This was a enjoyable video to watch. Both parents should be feeling proud, good job!
I about fell over laughing when Rhiannon was hollering at Onyx "You are fine!" She's already a great cart operator and young woman. She won't take any guff of the combine operator. Well done Zach and Becky!
And I'm impressed with Zach's patience in teaching the kids. Good example. 🙂
how do you know his name?
@@Drakeman2003huh?
As a father that grew up on a farm and learn to operate from my father and grandfather it warms the soul to watch you teach your kids. It also makes me sad that my son will never get that kind of experience as we no longer have the farm.
He'll never know what it's like to get yelled at when he doesn't understand hand signals from the cab lol
Shut up Kevin
@@jaredandrews379 for real. I'm only 15 but i live on our family farm, glad to see they are learning how to drive that stuff, if only they knew how much harder it is to drive older equipment
@@aidenkelly2440 Yah but the older stuff is still a lot of fun to run and not as expensive to fix if you mess up.
LOL
@@jeffekkel5870 that is true lol. We have a 1066 international and a 1256 with a loader and we love to take them on cruises cause we dont need them really during the summer
There is NOTHING as important as the look on her face as she knows she can do it! "Beans are easier"... her brother taught her well. GREAT JOB RHIANNON/ONYX! Great job Mom and Dad! (got a little choked up thinking of my kids growing up so fast) I'm the proud Grandpa of a college graduate and more to follow. God bless the Johnson Clan!
This is what growing up on a farm is all about. Respect to both you two and dad for the work you do.
Wow your an amazing dad, we live on 20 acres and I’m 12 yr old and my dad is never nice like this, all he does is scream and yell at me. He complains about stuff and claims he doesn’t do it even though he does. We make small squares on the farm and I was tedding hay and he jumps on the tractor and just starts yelling at me. Your kids are so lucky to have a dad like you! This would be my dream come true❤️❤️
50 years ago my dad and uncles were always wound tight. grandpa was laid back. It is a right of passage to whip you into shape. In a few years you'll have a problem and he will ask if you have it handled that when you know he trusts you and respects your decisions. The bad part is then your also are responsible for the families success. Unfortunate that human best path to learning is thur pain.
When I was 10-12 my uncle jumps up on the tractor and starts reading me the riot act. I said I could learn without him yelling at me. He grabs me by the scruff and tosses me in the field and yells NO YOU CANT.
Your gonna hate it now but in 20 years it will mean more to you than you know.
@@GarrethandPipa "I said I could learn without him yelling at me." You were right. And your uncle was wrong. Teaching can be done decently. There is no need to make learning hell. There is no need to teach the young ones that treating others like dirt is the only way to go.
@@GarrethandPipa In 20 years they wonder why you hate their guts. They think respect isn't earned, it's automatically given regardless of how they behave. Kindness is the gift that comes back multiplied, but unfortunately some people are too damaged by their own upbringing to appreciate there's an alternative path.
@@deaddoll1361 Well depends what you call earned. If its at least 10 hours a day 24/7 365 until you find them slumped over on the back 9. There are many I have seen ground to dust but love of family and god keeps them moving with an occasional laugh and smile.
Fact farming and ranching is a tough life even with fancy tractors. You have to raise kids with toughness of spirit in the very least.
You suggest what exactly? that parents who are farmer and ranchers are shitty parents or do you believe they just beneath you?
Sure I was raised to be tough but in retrospect when I left the rural life that toughness I humbly submit was the driving force that made me very successful all these years later.
@@flybywire5866 Maybe we were both right but for different reasons. He wasn't treating me like dirt. he was treating me like I was a fuckup. I was popping wheelies on the tractor when I should have been ploughing or planting. I really only remember the wheelies. If I were anyone else I would have been run off. When your business is either feast or famine and mostly just enough to get by. You can't have a whole bunch of screwing up. Everyone has to carry the load. Should I have been giving that responsibility? I don't know but in high school when my peers were doing harvest I was playing football. It was my uncle who volunteered so I could play.
I hope I haven't presented him as a evil dictator I only remember getting a chewing out twice. He took the heat for me when he really shouldn't have a few times. He treated me like his own son. I expect the grace he gave was because he wanted me to have what responsibility denied him when he was young.
My mentors could on occasion be strict but they weren't cruel. They taught me about honor and living up to your word. That working hard and doing a job well can make a man happy even when times are rough.
What's even better than watching Zach teach the kids is their enthusiasm for learning! Good to see the next generation of farmers actively pursuing this important career! Great job, Onyx and Rhiannon!!
Farm kids are the best kids, they both did fantastic! I learned so much growing up farming, you're setting them up for success!
Yes its builds confidence, character and self reliance.
Grew up on a small farm and greenhouse operation. Learned so much. Like do not use the hot muffler pipe of a Farmall Super C as a grab bar when refueling.
As a dad teaching my boy to run an excavator properly it's an awesome experience sharing that time with your kids. Onyx impress me a great deal. To be that confident at 13 is very cool. Rhiannon likewise was taking that all in. I love her sassy spirit. I'd say most parents don't give there kids enough credit, with the right support and environment some kids can really excel.
No better place for a child to learn about life, build character and learn that true self esteem comes from personal accomplishment. Good job, Dad! 🙂
Oh my gosh, seeing Onyx driving like a vet, watching dad and daughter was awesome! Probably one of my favorite episodes. I can't wait till Onyx has his own channel one day, carrying the legend
So would that channel be millennial farmer 2.0?
@@SLlandscape Probably gen z farmer
A vet with auto steer
@@SLlandscape Yes, 2.0! That sounds about right!
This was a great segment. I grew up as a farm boy, both row-crop and livestock, and learned from my folks just like you are teaching your children. I pestered them everyday to let me work in the field and finally did at around 11 years old raking hay and hauling ear corn out of the field and helping move equipment from field to field. Even today at nearly 70 years old I still help my brother during planting and harvest, tillage and grain cart. His equipment is very similar to yours so it all looks familiar. Your kids will remember these days for the rest of their lives, I did.
He’s got this great parenting skills. And I’m pretty sure he’s the best dad they could ever pray to have
Id love to know you better Mark, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice person and you sound very lovely ❤️ with your words
So impressed by the relationship you have with your kids. They obviously are well-mannered and have a great amount of respect for you. Otherwise they wouldn’t listen and take instruction as well as they do. Great job! Great parenting!
Its because he's a good dad that they do their best to be good kid aswell
DAD doing his both job perfectly
Have been watching Millennial Farmer around 5 years now and this has been my favorite episode. Self confidence and the feeling of accomplishment is written all over their faces. Good job!
Same here!
*Sending the best wishes to anyone who sees this comment, I hope we can be friends.*
First of all, I have to admit that back in the 80s I was a rock ‘n’ roll radio disc jockey in Philadelphia and I played a lot of Fleetwood Mac on the radio….and secondly, Rhiannon hasn’t been on camera very much for the past couple of years…..so I’m kind of stunned that she’s 10 now…..and it means that I’ve been subscribed to this channel longer than I realized. You two are doing a great job raising these kids. I can tell how considerate and smart they are every time they speak.
Fine young almost adults with confidence even though officially a few years to go. Quite impressive for sure. A willingness for more speaks a lot.
That is a great way to spend time with your kids, they'll remember this moment forever, even after you die. Nice
Your kids are amazing, learning so quick. Your daughter is no nonsense and funny! She keeps big brother in line. I'm proud of you dad for starting them young.
She's a character. Her mom's looks and her dad's wit.
As a therapist who spends all day hearing stories of bad parenting, you have no idea how healing it is to see the results of good parenting.
Thank you to both of you for building strong and balanced and loved kids, and reducing my workload in 20 years!
I never got to do farm equipment as a kid, but I think I first
pushed dirt with a D9 (very large) bulldozer when I was 12, so I approve and slightly envy Rihannon getting to learn to drive at 10!
In later years as a youth group instructor and working construction I always enjoyed teaching the kids skills that most people would say they were way too young for, welding to 11 year olds, driving my pickup to 8 year olds, etc, but it activates different parts of their brains and gives them confidence later in life.
And whenever I am operating construction equipment and I see the kid watching intently, when possible I invite the parents to bring them over and at least sit in the seat, maybe even move the levers if it's safe, because that's what got me started! Lol
But thank you Zach and Becky for bringing some hope and light back into the world, especially after the strip tiller fiasco! ;) lol
Did they sit in your lap while you taught them how to "operate the tractor"?
@@ipissed no.
Unless they were like 2 years old and in their parents lap lol
They sit in the seat and I stand next to them or sit on the fender or stand on the track depending on the machine.
You ran a D9 at 12??!? Impressive.
@@AidanLeyne I thought so too! Lol
I wasn't very good at it, but a few years later I worked for the guy running the same D9 and getting paid for it!
as a kid who grew up in a farm and had very extra caring parents to the point, I was never close to the machines or introduced to the machines I approve. now I am 31 and I have a truck driving license but never got the confidence to drive one. trucks is just a passion now I work in a whole different field my point is I agree with you it does activate different parts of the brain and gives confidence later on in life... Lessen Learned .
The buzz in the think tank back at JD is "Did you hear what the little 10 year told us.. DO IT... Get design up here NOW!" As great as a farmer you present. You are a great dad too. All the rain or drought in the world can't take that away. Great video and outstanding job by your young farmers.
These kids don't know how lucky they are to have such a great dad, and I bet mom is just as great. What a gift to be able to take such parenting for granted.
Well done Onyx and Rhiannon!! Well done Dad too for being such a good and patient teacher! This was a very wonderful video and I'm sure brought back happy memories to many of us who remember being taught to drive a tractor or some other vehicle. I'm sure Zach's father is feeling double pride seeing his son passing on his expertise so well to his grandchildren. The joy Becky felt editing this video is only something I can imagine. I wouldn't be surprised if her eyes didn't tear up a little but that is for Becky to know and the rest of us probably never to find out. On top of this wonderful episode in Johnson family history, you got the harvest done! Congratulations.
I second that emotion! I was smiling from ear to ear watching 2 young people learning the ropes from their Dad! Well done! 👌👍
Tears!!! What a father/son and father/daughter moments! I can't think of a better moment... How much luckier can a father get?
7th generation farmers, Onyx and Rhiannon, are on the move and doing great! I ❤'d watching them "take over" the equipment and WOW the last of the corn harvest was in good hands! Your kids are learning what you learned from your parents....... responsibility and a great work ethic! Until your next video ~~~Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🚜 🚜
Rhiannon has great insights for someone new to grain carting. Good to see the family working together.
The video of Onyx is hilarious. He is so nonchalant sitting in the combine cab eating away. Great job Onyx, a real natural. Rhiannon is so cute and a quick learner. Good job Dad.
Crazy how fast those 2 have grown up and working with there dad already!!
You mean son an his niece

@@jasonmccrow6696 I’ve been watching since the intro video 6 years ago, only heard him mention his niece living with them a couple times. The niece is in her 20’s
@@jasonmccrow6696what? His daughter looks exactly like him.
This is a good example of why many farm-kids are more responsible than the "normal" kid. Learning lessons on the farm are very valuable. I believe the lessons I learned as a farm-kid still influence my life -- even at 77! 🙂
I have time now. How do we "talk"? We can do messager -- OR you can even phone me.
This is the true essence of family farming. There will be those out there who were never part of family farming that will be horrified at this. But for those of us who grew up in or participated in family farming, this is a perfect example of getting the kids involved early and developing responsibility and skills!
You've got to be so proud of those kids.
Becky and Zach what a gift you are giving to your children. All of you are rockstars, thank you for sharing your lives with us.
As a parent, I live for moments like this. So proud to pass on generations of knowledge. Thanks for sharing this with us.
The very best way to raise up a child, you guys got great parenting skills, keep up the good works, I’m proud of you.
Id love to know you better Jim, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice guy and very lovely with your words.
One thing i really recommend Zach is to teach them every single function of what’s inside the machine, even if they don’t need to use it, it just makes life easier (speaking from experience) if you know what your looking at and can keep an eye on the machines
This is one of my favorite videos you've made. The look of pride in your face is something that can't be faked. Definitely a proud papa moment & they both did a phenomenal job 👏
Zach, it really made me smile as a Dad when you turned around to see Onyx finish up those last few rows. I could see the beaming smile on your face as you get to enjoy farming with your children. Just like your Dad with you. Even if they don't end up.farming in the future the time you invested in them is priceless. Great Job to Mrs. M.F. and you.
He's a sweet man.
I love how Onyx is straight vibing in the combine. Dude is driving a quarter if not half a million dollars worth of machinery.
"you are fine, get your auger out" has to be the best sassy line I have heard in a long time.
Your kids are hilarious and awesome Zach, it’s great to see you teaching the next generation at young ages how to drive and operate like we were. Keep up the great work. Love Australia!
The children's ability to perform farm tasks is also admirable
This episode brought two things to mind. First a song written by Allen Jackson remembering his youth and his kids when “ Daddy let me drive…” The impact that had on his confidence and his and their future. Great song! Second is my own personal experience when Dad said get in the truck and drive. In your case and the other examples Dads took time to train, mentor and love their kids. The world would be so much better if this was done more often. This training is the next step on what already has been years of dedicated work by parents. Enjoy your video games next fall! God Bless all of you (including Josh).
Wish I could give this comment two thumbs up!
Amen!
Thank you all for liking my comment. Kids are willing to do a lot for us. We just need to love them to the max and give them safe opportunities to succeed. When they do give them lots of hugs and smiles.
@@howard9427 Thank you!
Gives me faith in the next generation of Farmers!
Keep Smilin!!!!
I've been watching since I was like 7 I'm 16 now and just came across your channel again. They have grown up so fast it's very impressive watching them learn this and do it on their own. Good job guys.
I love how patient you are with the kids when you're explaining how things work, Zach! What a good dad!
true, but there is must also be a good mother laying the foundation.
I wish I had that much patience!
Me too, was impressed with what he taught the kids and how they worked
Me too. I'm glad he isn't spanking them.
Probably because he’s on camera 😂😂😂
Now they get to learn how to pressure wash everything and clean up around the dryer!
The lessons you are teaching go way beyond farming and will serve them no matter what direction life takes them (ie. taking risk, working hard, critical thinking, multitasking, trust, love, etc).
“I took my first dump” Literally dying right now 😂😂😂😂
Mom and Dad have so many reasons to be proud. Absolutely love this video.
As someone who has children, I am happy to see the children working on the farm
@@tony98discovery I didn't work on a farm, but I did have chores when growing up. Mowing the lawn, shovel the snow, cut and chop the wood for the fireplace and inside chores doing dishes and laundry. I've talked to parents that have children and they tell me it's hard for them to even clean their room. Proud of them to want to learn and carry the torch of the family business.
@@fiat.freakx19 Thank you, I think kids should learn to do household chores earlier. If it's farm work, that's great
Zach your mentorship to your kids means volumes for their growth and confidence. They look to be independent next season which is pretty amazing with the tech heavy equipment. Nice work!😀
I believe that his 2 children will become good farmers with the knowledge equipped from their father
Oh happy memories of driving harvest tractors 70 years ago when I was big enough to reach the pedals. The great feeling of being part of the team and earning my keep.
I used to help the farmer when I was 7 years old. Driving the tractor while he was pulling the hose out ready to water the fields. Great times.
This must have been one of the most enjoyable videos Becky has had to edit, very well done Rhiannon and Onyx
This was a 22 minute smile-session for me. This whole thing must be so cool for everybody involved. Fantastic video Zach!
How beautiful is this.....the kids learning the business.
I'm 74 I can relate in teaching my Sons in what they do.
I STARTED WORKING WITH MY DAD AT 10 AND GLAD I DID IT TOUGHT ME GOOD WORK ETHIC FOR LIFE IN ALL YOU DO. GREAT JOB DAD AND KIDS.
This was an absolutely wonderful video video. Watching your 2 children work the fields with you learning how to operate the equipment correctly Shows that you raise your children very very well Zach
That's one PROUD Dad!!!!! Great teacher and wonderful family.....now I am tearing up!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey.
Thats got to be one of the best dad memories they will have
So proud to see these kiddos grow and mature to a combine and grain cart operator. Seeing these guys have some ideas to operate the machines with the ride alongs to hoping behind the wheel and drive them. Zach I know I’m proud of them but can only imagine how your feeling. 2022 farming from your farm was a blast. Can’t wait to see these guys in full action next year. Looking forward to next year already. Congratulations on a 22 harvest.
I’m so proud of them both, which other way would have been better to train the kids. Great parenting skills.
Id love to know you better Brandon, thats only if you dont mind cos you seems to be a nice person and sound very cool with your words
What an honor to be there to share a very big moment .... Great teaching .... If your's can handle this they will be natural pilots too... Best wishes and thank you for the joy of your harvest adventure
That was one of your best videos!! The kids talked over the radio like they do when they're together! It's amazing how grown up they seem even though they're still young! Onyx seemed really stressed bringing the combine up to the grain cart...snacking on a bag of potato chips! Great stuff Becky & Zach!!
The next proud generation... FARM GALS AND GUYS ... WE NEED YOU...
Takes me way back. As a kid on the farm I operated a Hanomag tractor on school holidays. Also 10 years old I worked from dawn till dusk. Best times of my life.
Tears in my eyes. What a wonderful video. Great job Farming and even better parenting.
What a great video. Loved the interaction between the kids. They will be the next generation of Johnson family farmers. Zack, you are a good dad...so patient.
as an aussie, love this . takes me back .but this is very valuable ,one reason being all the young girls around the world ,who are told they can't have an education ,this will give them hope that it doesn't have to be that way. this is the upside of a free society that is using their freedom in a positive and responsible way to enhance life . for everybody concerned
I'm glad that ppl are teaching kids to work instead of sitting and playing Nintendo all day😂😂 I was raised on a farm and I know and love the importance of work. I have come to love it so much that during vacations and trips I get bored and want to go home and get my hands dirty and work. Keep being a great dad and I can tell that your kids love and respect you❤
I think they makes all of us parents immensely proud to see you teach the next generation the family business. It is really awesome to see your kids taking an interest and the patience you have teaching them. Won't be too long and they will both be a regular part of the crew. Give Grandpa a chance to get some much needed time off.
It feels like it wasn't that long ago when we watched Onyx drive the grain cart for the first time and now we get to experience it again with Rhiannon at the helm. Awesome video dude!
My dad taught me to drive a corn cart and combine back in 1968. The combine was a Claas Matador.
When the combine was changed for a Massey Ferguson 515 we said then why not make the unload auger go both ways. Fifty years later, nothing changed.
I was made redundant from the fam in 1998, and couldn’t get another fam job. I still love (and follow) farm life.
Great to see you teaching your children. Love your videos.
Two minutes of listening to this child's speech, her language, her emotional state .... ALREADY suggests an emotionsl IQ at least double that of many of our lost college "kids". I KNOW dad is very proud of her, but .... if I might be allowed, *I'M* proud of her!!! This young lady is a great example of the hope for our confused nation now.
That's amazing! I'm sure at some point you were fighting back tears of happiness.
As my Dad used to say; "Teach them young, teach them right"! You have every reason to be proud of your children!
Onyx is just how I am. Chillin in the driver seat with a bag of potato chips. And just admiring the view.
You sir are doing a wonderful thing by teaching the kids how life really works. Loved it!
The sibling banter between those two was a hoot.
Becky must have been proud when she was editing this for the channel. Watching her children and you, with your patience teaching and encouraging your children. Excellent parenting from both of you.
My 1st millennial farmer video was him picking up his youngest daughter from school in his tractor. This is such a joy to watch.
Sir....your children are amazing. You are setting them up to be the doers of society. I applaud you and your wonderful children.
The crappy part of this video was that I could only like it once instead of like 30 times. The smiles on both of them while they were doing this was absolutely amazing.
Those kids have inherited the humour for sure! Lovely episode! 😀
Here back in Sweden however we tend to wear out one generation at the time, which means that the kids are playing Nintendo whilst the older generation works our bottoms of. 😅
Bought a tear to my, literally. What incredible young humans you have. The trust that you give them will give them the confidence to grow up well-rounded and good people.
For a person who's going to school for agriculture right now at 26 years old and got my first chance at running a combine and grain cart I absolutely think this is the coolest thing ever to see I'm sure it's a very proud family moment your great parents Zach an Becky
Need Rhi to use your line when you let her loose alone "Finally! I thought he was never gonna leave!" haha. Onyx is doing amazing too! Brings me back to when my grandfather took me out in his tractor when I was a kid.
Cool to see the kids out there . Brings back some memories. When I was 13 my dad had a heart attack and my mom and I took the crop off . Lot of hours sitting out there , 830 jd tractor, 96 combine , 1500 acres . I can still remember the frost on the combine pickup, keeping one set of mitts under my butt warming up while I wore one pair . My mom would keep a pair over the defroster of the truck and trade me every round .
Her and I were always closer after that fall
This is definitely your best episode to date. I love that you put the camera on Onyx while you were gone and hearing the kids chat on the radios together! Great family time doing what you love! You should be proud. Congrats!
Zach and Becky, you two have to be sooo proud of yourselves with the work ethic you've instilled in your kids. This was an amazing video seeing them work together. Zach I know your father has to be proud as hell seeing this. Three generations working on the farm. I would shed a tear. Can't wait for a few more years down the road when Isla gets to do this!!!!
I think it's awesome that you had the kids out there to finish it off. Teaching them early, that's for sure. Onyx looks like he's got that combine thing down pat and Rhiannon did a great job with her first shot in the grain cart.
She's adorable!
She's gonna run that farm when she's older, I can tell already...
Combine operators get the glory, but it is the cart operator that has the hardest job and keeps the harvest running smoothly.
Absolutely awesome to get the kids in on the harvest work! Onyx appears to be a natural and the daughter is highly trainable. (I didn't dare take a guess on how to spell her name! Lol) Great job Zach! Love the vids
