#Farm #Illinois #Harvest #Fall #FarmingSimulator22
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!

I am glad you did this video. It gives a bit of a personal touch to this event.

[@arthenry498]

I was born and raised in Gillespie Illinois. Left to go into the service in 1962 and have not been back permanently since. I know of these places and towns. I remember the good people from MY time with them. Hate to see anything like this happen to any of them. I am glad you went and documented this event as you did. The wasted commercial coverage will never equal your personal look at this. Thank you so much for that. YOUR coverage will keep this fresh for decades to come. Please make and safeguard copies of all of this. And to those who wish to trash you for not personally helping everyone you say, I say "shut up"! I believe your time was better spent doing what you did. This is great coverage you have here. I can tell it is NOT a network, or commercial product. Your views and narrative is too good to be driven by bucks.. Thanks again for sharing this awesome content with us out here. I certainly appreciate it!!

[@zcole6612]

Yes a lot of neighbors were mobile over the next week cleaning up.

[@pickelsvonbrine]

December 10th had some nasty nasty tornadoes come through the midwest. Then there was another event Dec 15th. This year we have already had I think 3 tornado outbreaks in the south. Stay safe everyone.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

We are supposedly way above the yearly average for the start of the season. That doesn’t mean it will stay that way, but that is never a good thing!

[@davidepool5884]

So much devastation all across the Midwest. In my area, Mayfield, KY was the hardest hit. It took a major hammering from a huge tornado. It basically erased a large portion of the city. That tornado was on the ground for about 250 miles. Kentucky had 4 tornadoes that night, I think all 4 of them hit cities. Sending prayers to everyone that suffered damage and loss of family members and friends.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Yes we were extremely lucky that it stayed in the country. I have heard very horrific things about Kentucky. Nature can sure be cruel...

[@pickelsvonbrine]

That Mayfield tornado was a real monster. It was on the ground for 250 miles, was an EF4 and at one point threw debris 40,000 feet in the area. The damage... was unimaginable.

[@hfff1]

Thankyou for the in person coverage. First time seeing trees TPed with tin siding. Holding you all close!

[@ETHANWXCHASING]

I chased this storm near Mattoon, IL that night, and saw some of the damage showcased here. Including the destroyed warehouse. Good thing this tornado missed the nearby town.

[@kidjetrecon7153]

Worked in clean up of Parkersburg IA the destruction was unbelievable. Ended up rebuilding cities dentist office, everyone I talked with survived by getting locked in staircase.

[@dereklight6568]

I was north of Rural King and Coles Station on Monday and boy it is a mess

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I was at the house to the northwest cleaning up on Tuesday. There was a lot of debris. Sad to see!

[@farming4g]

I was waiting for one of the farmtubers to do a video... get eyes right on the ground to see what's going on. Thanks for driving around. Prayers out to all, I know the feeling... amazing to see most of the main houses still standing in the midst of it all. One way to clean up that insulation may be to take wheel rakes and bale it up.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Interesting idea. This is a very touchy subject. I know that it can be rude to go around and look at this stuff, but I know many of these families personally. It is tough to see their properties in such bad shape. Thanks for watching!

[@louisnemick9553]

I will be praying for you and your neighborhood.

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

We had parts around here that were from the Amazon building by Edwardsville!! That's 60-65 miles away. Thank you for the video from a resident of Montgomery County.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Wow! It is incredible how powerful these are. Some large pieces of scrap are miles away from where the tornado even went. Crazy to see.

[@kevingordon7426]

Thanks for driving and sharing. I had not heard anything about your area with all of damage in KY and Edwardsville. Never easy to go through a tornado. Always amazing the path it leaves. I live in rural area near Bloomington/ Normal. Be safe.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

It is a good thing that we are not in the news like the other places. We are extremely fortunate!

[@shinymosi5832]

Omg I didnt even think about the amish. How the heck would they be warned about something like this if they refuse life saving technology?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

The Amish probably build their homes a little bit stronger than the general population, but they are just as susceptible as the rest of us...

[@MoFire312]

We had a tornado back in 2016 in northeast Indiana. Being a volunteer firefighter and only being able to watch the tornado destroying property and praying nobody gets hurt. Then picking up the pieces afterwards.

[@pamfaggart]

The farmers are going to be dealing with the garbage in the field for years.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

It will mostly be picked up, but it is impossible to get the little stuff.

[@butterbeanfarmer7952]

Thanks for the video Trippy

[@LtColDaddy71]

I heard about all the carnage and death in KY but didn't even realize it hit us here in IL. I'm grateful you made this video and glad you guys came through OK.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Our tornado was a cakewalk compare to the ones down in KY. What a tragic deal...

[@peteschiavoni]

Feels odd liking your video, but I think you understand. I’m glad you all are safe. It breaks my heart seeing the loss of livelihood for these farmers. Pray you all remain safe and healthy.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

[@denis2546]

tornado is very dangerous!! good video thank you

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Thanks for watching!

[@brianzybura8633]

Naturally, like everyone else, it breaks my heart to see all this big damage. The thing that struck me the most was the farmhouses that got wrecked. I think about those families who perhaps for the last three plus generations had years of family birthday parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, all in that same house. Yes, they can build a new house, but it cannot really replace the wonderful memories and the soul of the old house. At any rate, they are strong people, they will rebuild and find a new happiness. I wish them well.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I appreciate your input. It is sad to think about all of the history that was destroyed in seconds. Thanks for the comment!

[@dalemayes3854]

Praying for you'll !!!!!

[@aTrippyFarmer]

We only suffered material losses. I would redirect your prayers down to Kentucky... sad stuff down there.

[@seajeepstar7516]

Well said. Not just rainfall and topography that can effect farming too.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Very hard to watch, poor families lives work in tatters. Look forward to the video(s) of you and yours helping out those affected.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Thanks. It definitely hit a few families hard, but nothing compared to the damage down in Kentucky. We are so lucky to have been only lightly impacted. Thanks for watching!

[@bigt2871]

Very lucky that the path was not very wide. Mother Nature is large and in charge for sure.

[@carlfalt174]

That's simply insane to see that. Hope that no one got hurt

A few cattle passed at the first farmstead, but nothing other than that. We were so much luckier than the other towns hit with large tornadoes that night.

There is quite a few tornados spread out through the Midwest every year, but most of them are weak and insignificant. Occasionally they are strong and can wreak havoc!

[@mikeboettcher2547]

Several year's ago I was a rural mail carrier out of Le sueur mn we needed to have a good supply of tire repair plugs because of the nails from the buildings that were destroyed by tornado that went through St Peter MN

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

Milking cows one evening in the 1970’d with my dad and next older brother a tornado went right over our heads. I remember the roar lasting about for about 30 seconds and seeing the swirled flattened alfalfa wsw of the barn the next day. It had lifted over us, the barns and equipment and only damaged some crops.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

That barn probably wouldn't have offered much protection... glad you weren't hurt!

[@easylooker]

I'm in Kentucky, just 1 mile from the path of that monster tore through here. Luckily at work I have electricity down in TN. What it looks like is absolute destruction. Brick buildings gone..no sign of it being a building there, houses gone or if several houses the debris is pushed up on top of each other. Around a mile wide twister. Tragically lives were lost, still going through debris looking for people days later.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I am sorry to hear that. We were certainly lucky with all things considered. It makes me very sad to see the devastation and loss of life in Kentucky.

[@pascalfriedmann1479]

Thanks for reporting on this. Haven't made it this far out west since the storm. Definitely good this didn't come straight for Mattoon and Charleston, it would have done a lot more serious damage here

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

A little off topic but in the early 1970’s our neighbors to the south had a fire in their dairy barn started by the son playing with fire. We took in dozens of their cows, many with burns on them. Those were a lot of very rattled cattle. So if anyone is taking in neighbors livestock they are probably very rattled and hard to control.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Nice story... It is nice to see the generosity of the farming community!

[@paulprigge1209]

If this is a date I’m thinking. They are referring to that as a quad state tornado. Amazon across the creek from St. Louis in Illinois Had loss of life as well as Missouri! .Kentucky not good.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Yes this was the same storm. Amazon warehouse was hit about 45 minutes before us...it may have been the same tornadic cell that went through here. It was a bad deal for many places.

[@roberthakeman9822]

It's so sad that this has to happen as it takes years to build and in seconds it can all be gone. Back in 1978 we had a storm that blew 5 loaded railcars blow over and our farm was a half mile away and that morning we had moved 500 40# feeder pigs to this farm from the farrowing barn from the other farm and I lived a half mile from the farm and my uncle called me and said I think my barn moved and so I got dressed and went out to the farm and the 50x100 barn went straight down and out of 1500 hogs couple dozen sows we only lost a dozen hogs and 2 sows this farm is where we fed everything out till it was time to go to market. The only reason we lost the sows was cuz they were to big and the floor beams landed on them. We had alot of farmers stopped and asked if we needed help cleaning up as all farmers are very helpful in these situations. But we cleaned it up and pulled alot of nails and reused the lumber and built another steel building and shorter hay mow but on the same foundation.

[@aTrippyFarmer]

I am sorry to hear that you had to experience that, but it is always great to hear about the farming community coming together to help their neighbors. It is crazy how fast mother nature can destroy a farm that was built with decades of hard work. Thanks for watching!

[@dsauce8780]

@@aTrippyFarmer btw what do you think of the NEXAT systems?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

@@dsauce8780 I think the principle is great. A combine is only useful for 1/2 the growing season. If it economically makes sense, it will have a lot of potential. Execution is everything, though. You can’t complain about innovation in the industry at the end of the day. Most stuff in the last 10 years has been the same thing rehashed ten times…

[@dsauce8780]

@@aTrippyFarmer when it comes down to it I think you can have a great idea but being able to support that system in the field over time and trial is important. How much more specialized would a Nexat engineer need to be than a John deer engineer relative to the size of the field?

[@aTrippyFarmer]

@@dsauce8780 I would venture to say that a NEXAT engineer would need to know less than a John Deere engineer. A Deere service tech works on everything they sell-albeit some guys are better with certain equipment. Since NEXAT shares a powertrain across the board, they’d really only need to know a fraction of the competition. Deere has 3 engines for just 1 model in some instances…

[@thedonleroy]

It's scary to see what these tornados can do. We had one go through our area in west central Minnesota 2 years ago. It started about 10 miles west of us but luckily it didn't touch down. It touched down for the first time on my sister's property but luckily lifted over their building site before touching down again. It stripped the bean fields bare. Right down to the dirt like there had never been anything there. It threw vehicles & trucks around like they were toys. It destroyed 2 building sites. Unfortunately one man died at one site. That was the worst damage I had ever seen in my 58 years.
