Farming VS Rain

- We switched back to planting corn after spending a day doing soybeans. We're racing the rain and trying to get our last 200 acres in! This has been a rainy spring but the farm work never stops.

It amazes me how the equipment has evolved since I left Southern Minnesota to join the Air Force in 1982. Thank you for sharing and best wishes for a good growing season.
Thank you for watching!
This has been the most crazy spring I can remember in my 48 years. Winter dragging on 'til April, April showers coming a month late, flowers freezing, which means a serious hit to fruit crops, especially apples. My wife and I will be lucky if we can get our balcony bucket garden going before the end of June!
Another informative video. I like how you explain the process that you go through when planting. For us city slickers we see that there is more to farming than meets the eye. Thanks. Stay dry!!!!! Oh I also like your 'behind' the scenes action..... eating a long john, having lunch delivered, belching. You never bring a boring day on the farm.
Here in michigan we call our field cultivator a digger as well. We enjoy the videos and we watch them while we farm as well. We have 3500 acres and custom farm another 1500 to 2000 acres depending on the year and weather in our area. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friend! I'm watching this video again I'm starting to think about planting season it's only 7 to 8 weeks away .
Looked like a red Amish buggy being chased by a corn planter!!!
That's pretty neat! That's why its called neature.
You ll have to trial a “what the heck is that thing”-trac at this stage 😂👍
12:30 RIP red can
It was a good can he was there when you were thirsty but now he's gone.... Left not forgotten red can you will always be in out hearts..
I am in southern Alberta, and our big rain prediction last weekend totalled 3/10s. We desperately need rain. I know to much isn't good , but better than none at all.
Thanks for taking the time to video your profession!
Sounded like you need a good fabricator for that planter problem…the Welkers have a pretty good fabricator for items such as yours, I’ll bet Mr Leg Arms could dream up a cover! 🙂
You are lucky, here in Ohio we have not started any planting because it is so wet.
Same here with southwestern Ontario
Love it when that Case International tractor pulling a JD planter appears in your video.
Was that a Black Rifle Coffee ad I heard on your radio at 1:54? Best coffee ever!
Heck yeah it was!
Yeah! But who's cow?
And if he was there before you shouldn't you mooove over and be a deere about it. 😃
God bless you and your family.
I see what you did there!
"it gonna rain now until about the 4th of July"........LMAO!!!
Whats so funny about it
What isn't funny about it? Crosspatch, no sense of humor at all anymore, anywhere..........geez
So far I've been accurate, we're looking WET!
MN Millennial Farmer, that what she said!
I don't know it's fairly accurate for out here in North Dakota! Got two or three inches in the bag already and plenty more more to come. luckily the gaps between the shower seem to be getting a little bit bigger in the forecast just enough to get some small Windows opened up every once in awhile.
Wow, farming is so much work!
All that coordination is easy. Just hit H Key to hire a new worker.
This still is not Farming simulator.
But the workers need a lot of coordination too.
lol, I wish it were that simple!!
I would like to think that Jim is more intelligent than the FS workers and he is not found crashed into a tree spinning his tracks trying to drive through it
HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Seriously though, looking very forward to this map!!!
@@ultansadventures :)
Here in italy we have got 2 months straight of water, in my zone we abandoned sowing of mais
Dry fields in central Florida too
I always love the "Hey, are you ok" ..........LMAO !!!
love to watch you farm
I never get tired of your satirical humor! I feel for you farmers who constantly race against mother nature, shoot. . I have a hard time keeping 6 acres of grass cut between showers!
Shields for the planter? Sounds like a job for May Wes.
For me, AgCam is one of the neatest things on this planet.
I wanted to share it with everyone, instead of just me and Rodney knowin' it
Always racing the rain
Zach & Becky, Great video. I thought the tile guy was gonna fix that busted tile for you.
Ya Id say you should have a sort of shielding over top of the gauge wheels on the back side, it will sling around but will fall off after if designed correctly
Looks like you need some fenders built to block the residue from getting onto your gauge wheels.
Down here in southern Minnesota, we call them things trash whippers.
From my computer farming still looks very easy. -Seeding, Harvesting and drinking beer in the barn.
Hey Zack....could you bolt a piece of steel on the green frame that is just above each track. The steel would stick straight out to the end of the tracks. Weld a piece at the end to make a T and have have a piece on each of the ends the would be close enough to the tracks to knock of residue but not touch the tracks? Not a farmer but a fan so it may sound ridiculous but just a thought.
Still have not done a thing in the field in northwest Indiana yet rains every day this month so far
I noticed you got to deal with the bomb cyclone, much like we did down here in my area of the country.
Needless to say, the flash flooding and the tornadoes haven't been enjoyable at all. Moreover, the weather was bad enough to close the school a family member works at here in Oklahoma on both days. Which from what I can recall is the first time they closed school for this type of weather outbreak.
I bet someone could weld up to covers over the tracks that went up to most of the tracks so it wouldn’t shoot it over it
"You can tell it's an AG cam because of the way it is!" That's pretty neat! Love it! Keep up the awesome content.
Just look at it
Well at least you got something in the ground. Us here in Eastern Indiana having nothing in the ground.
Have you considered making something to cover the row units between the tracks? Something like a cheap roll-up sled might do the trick.
love the moov over joke lol
Zach, I’m frightened because I’ve begun to understand your planning and execution. Maybe it’s because I spent 7 years in Ea. WA farm country with them tater farmers. Thanks for the nudge! I stopped back by to tell you that I’ve not even begun to level off on your “humor.”
That red thing was a UFO (unidentified farming object).
I’ve never seen farmers plant with residue on the field, we sure do things different in the UK!
If it ain't raining... it's raining.
Another great vid of planting thanks for the laughs
Isn't this weather something else? We were able to get all our corn in & are down to our last bean field but it is our wettest field with a bunch of ditches so I think it's going to be a pain to get it planted. I was watching a video of it snowing pretty good on May 19th in MN. Now that's getting scary. Thanks for the video.
Here in the UK most of us plough all that "shit" under !! So we don't get your problems with the planter ...
Illinois is only 20-something% planted as opposed to avg. 90%...very wet here...not much sun
indiana isn't any better, most people haven't barely even started planting, most of what was in is early early stuff.
we haven't been able to start yet here in Québec. 3 weeks late
lol that sounds very Minnesota. "Yeeeeeah I know" 4:10
It's not easy to perfect the MN language
Times like this,you wish you had a couple of 48 row DB-120 planters Zach.🚜
And wheels instead of tracks on the seeder.
@@badenielsen Oh yeah😎👍
One of the best parts of the videos are the clips after the official ending, I always wonder what you come up with next :)
The way you talk about how all the vehicles have to be synchronized reminds me of my studies of World War I and II. Grunts can't get too far ahead of mech which can't get too far ahead of fuel which can't get too far ahead of spare parts, and NO ONE can get too far ahead of food and warm clothes, (Winter is always right around the corner). Man, you REALLY ARE fighting a war. The logistics of farming is a major project EVERY YEAR! It'd be easier to over-sea a major highway or pipelne construction project!!
That’s neat.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta……. I mean farmer!!!!
I Love your videos. I watch them over and over
Sure would hate to have to drive around all those tile inlets!
Tile issue might be ice, guy by monte found tile plugged with ice yet🤷♂️ doesn’t surprise me with the winter we had👍
that's crazy, it's getting late now!
That's pretty neat!
We have 10 acer’s planted out of 5000 here in Illinois
Rains good and rains bad. Mother nature dictates no matter what! Good luck neighbors to the south!
“You can tell it’s an ag cam because of what it is”😂
Always hate trying to out run the rain! Us hay farmers have a love/hate relationship with the weather. we need the rain to make the hay grow. But not when we are trying to bale! .
Haha I love you case tractor jokes😂
What are those row markers for
Can you explain the John Deere training wheels on the planner 😂
You must be an Instagram follower?!
To much rain sucks, but its the rainy season now in Hawaii. Haha. Have a good one buddy.
Look at it, just look at it!! ha ha
how did you like all that new rain that west central Minnesota got over Tuesday-Wednesday.
It's still raining here... I'm not real excited about it
Yea I live 30 minuets from you and it’s still raining
Need water wings over here
Soy agricultor en rio bravo tamaulipas mex. Desde aqui sigo tus videos brother
That was a John Deere planter pushing a red tractor.
lol!!
There’s Linda Brekey again on your radio ! Excuse you for your BURP !
Linda speaks to me during lunch time frequently
At 7:47 its nice but its very trippy
Raining here in Indiana. Last estimate showed only 13% planted.
Here in the netherlands we already have seeds in the ground
Germany to
no your not full of baloney, feeding the world and sense of humor (and a good papa too!)
I have a feeling your neighbor is doing a Fergi farm being jealous of your sea of green.
It's boone dry in Holland.
Wouldn't throwing down a lime powder at end of harvest help to rot away all the stalks and leaves?
I like the new opening graphic!
Get fertilizer from Evansville Indiana we have been sending a bunch up there due to rivers being to high to unload
What are the folded arms with wheels for on the planter? Are they guides?
That was a big red "ufo" for only a 12 row planter... you must be as wet as we are
For Petes sake would you just look at that great video Zach have a great day be safe.
Make a thingamadoo out of steel and screw a broom end to it should just brush your tracks fine.
Or take some sheet metal and fabricoble a cover for the units.
Make some fenders
Hey crushed can in a sleeve. You OK? You OK?
hope you have a great year sorry about the rain love your vids
Mother Nature is always a factor. lol
Every time you see a case 😂🤣😂😂🤣
Should have the tile fixed ahead of time lol😉
We called them a year ago. I would have thought that was far enough ahead!
Way to wet for us in west central Ohio, the way it’s going it will be 4 th of July till we get corn in the ground
i wish i could be planting south east sd and not a wheel turned down here kinda swampy.....
you always show os some nice traktors the Red case hihi. Case all the way
Great video!
Ya sure ya betcha! It’s rainin bulls and heifers here toooo ! It’s so wet I can’t get the rest planted and the window is closing ! Dang it !?!?! I did get that tarp down so at least that parts done ✅! Maybe the summer will carry out farther then usual, say 2 to 3 weeks ! What’s the germination on the soybeans your planting ? I hope ya get everything in ! I think it should be KNEE HIGH BY THE END OF JULY ! Lol. SKOL BUD !
cool thanks for sharing
Heloo from Serbija!!!
Do you think the price of corn will go up?
Hey Zach kind of envious of you guys being able to work in the field too wet to do anything around here northern part of Illinois hey could you use your social media to say a prayer for all those guys that are being flooded out from all this water from the Mississippi and Missouri and all over for the wet fields in general a lot of stress for everybody just trying to weather the storm so say a prayer for all those people that are struggling thank you good luck Zack
Cant you mount something over the tracks to act like a fender? Or weld a bar over them (preferably on the sprung part ofc) with a brush facing downwards, altho thatd probably get wrecked faster than fenders.
Need mud guards for your tracks
