Back to Tilling

[@eightosaurusspelunk1598]

I want to see more of Dad. He is my favorite character on this show.

[@bluegrassrc]

My son and I enjoy your videos. Hope to see you at the Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY.

[@robertduffy5302]

HI , Happy Thanks giving to all

[@eggsmarie]

Lived in suburbia all my life. You probably hear this quite a bit, but your videos really make me appreciate all the work that goes into farming and the food chain in America that benefits everyone. I've shown some of your videos to my young daughters because I want them to understand how hard farmers work and that the food on the table doesn't get there by magic. Thanks for your videos and all you do! 😊

[@scottklomps1916]

Thanks for all you do! Im 57, farm raised, living in downtown Rochester, Mn. Stepped into a prominent drug store here in downtown Mayo Clinic one day in search of an Old Farmers Almanac. Knew they stocked them only to hear from the patriarch of the establishment. "Sent them back- wouldnt sell in this store- no farmers round here" Had to laugh. Told the fella Sir, I disagree. Im looking at a farmet right in front of me...How so he replied... You sir are a farmer. Every day you show up to farm the general public for your livelihood. In a way we all are farmers......We had a good chuckle over it!!!

[@joannford5860]

It is amazing to see what the modern farming work is done on a day to day basis. I'm from West Washington at this time. It's awesome to see and hear you explain the different jobs you do Zachary, as my grandpa would say a farmers job is never done. Your doing a Great job by having your family work along with you. Still would like to see your mother as 7she is also a farm wife and is part of this Farm.

[@jeffreyplum5259]

man, Your weather may be cold, but Ms. MF makes any day much brighter. A beautiful woman who brings food and pitches in with farm work is a true blessing. Both my parents came from farms. Your videos remind me of the time on my family's farms. That time on farms kept me going, when living near the city got very nasty. God Bless you all..

[@mikeclifton7778]

Congratulations on getting harvest completed without too many dramas, plus a couple of nice toys S780 and Lexion to play with. Now we need a tillage thaw to cap it off!

[@jwjco]

Zack up here northeast of you were all finished up for the season . Now feed cattle and hope next year is better. I here there a lot of problems going up north west of you and into north Dakota . Many guys really got hammered this year. We hope everybody stays warm and safe this winter. Take care

[@gen_kopskoot_za3305]

I am South African and im watching your videos Awesome man!

[@KONG-RAM-TWIN-TURBO]

Your videos like this with harvesting yields and all the different types of seed are very educational about the trade all you videos are full of information combining had always had my interest.

[@TheFarmingLife]

Glad to see you can get the back in the fields again. I know tillage is very important for you guys in the fall. It allows the ground to warm up faster. Here Comes 2020 planting season

[@alaskanchannel2751]

I so enjoy the interaction with dogs, equipment and technical conversations about corn hybrids. my favorite youtube channel!

[@jameslcoble248]

Hopefully you will be able to get the tillage complete without too many issues. Plus hope the harvest is very good. Have a great night and weekend. Ready for the next video. Bless you all.

[@cntslesfabrication]

I did the math just from close friends and family of mine have used your code to become a FBN member 34 people signed up.

[@jimzoesch5799]

Wow, what a hard but rewarding life. This video really shows just how many hours are required to run a farm. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnsalcido5436]

Jim Zoesch haha Try a vegetable farm... same thing except you don’t have machines that harvest veggies Back breaking labor manually by body 🤘

[@jimzoesch5799]

John Salcido I hear that, wry tough. Love your vegetables. Eat them everyday. Thanks for working hard to keep feeding the world.

[@anthonybanda8192]

Dad just joined fbn he says they offer many options for farmers. We just ordered our soybean seed for 1800 acres for next year at a nice discount. Thank you for introducing them to my family through your chanel. I have been chisel plowing with our bigbud hn 250 the ground is frozen in some areas here in michigan as well. Stay safe and harvest on my friend !

[@djgfyrman]

Love the black soil... far cry from our gravel and sands here in Wisconsin!! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@rusteeznutz]

Im a city slicker and im hooked on this channel. I had no idea how high tech farming is. I haven't talked to my wife in weeks because im a KZbin farmer now

[@SledgeHammer43]

I as a mechanic have a recommendation on loosening wheel bearing nuts. If you believe that you installed it correctly the first time, then only back it off a 1/8th of a turn. By going a 1/4 you could be actually over loosening that could cause more damage than being over tight.

[@donmathias1705]

Always run taper roller bearing arrangements loose unless it is a precision deal like a differential and has very good lubrication and cooling. The very way they work, when they get a load on them they run nicely

[@1jumbox]

Well Done! Your Dad......enjoy him!

[@kencarr2998]

This guy has good videos! A natural

[@johncasalinuovo3352]

I’m a 25 year math-teacher from Long Island, NY. Never farmed but wish I could!

[@e1e965]

Feels good to watch u after a long day of tillage and crop destruct 👍 19 yr old operator here 🤙🏾

[@leekydiaperjooceps9107]

Hearing the combine rev to full power at 5:45 was beautiful

[@peterhenne844]

Your Dad seems to be much more comfortable in front of the camera these days!!

[@ML-lg4ky]

Again thanks for the effort boys!

[@bryancurtislyles12]

That's a pretty cool shot at 6:23

[@thesoundofbass]

Starting watching this year. My new favorite channel. I'm not a farmer myself but this is hella interesting and i'm learning new things every video. Keep it up.

[@kyleharkness8179]

Tillage is what I always send people who want to be helpful but usually just end up getting in the way to do. I call it busy work far away from me harvesting. 😉

[@eb17816]

Mt. Dew the elixir of life.

[@valeriepaulos7939]

I'm surrounded by beautiful green equipment... And Todd!!! Lol

[@retiaryworm4714]

I love how casually ana looks at you in the intro

[@chadshafer8095]

Great to see you in the field doing some tillage work.

[@mickeysmyth6002]

What a wonderful show Would never miss a post From New Zealand we love you Millennial Farmer

[@buddyhirshfield5970]

The correct way to adjust the We’ll bearing you can tighten it down with a wrench back it off and then hand tighten it

[@brandonwalcher4416]

I watched you put that wheel on and looked like you got it too tight. We tighten it down then back it off and turn the nut in until you have taken all the end play out of the bearings while still free spinning.

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Zach, nice to hear your closing in on finishing the corn. Navigating between freezing and thawing has to be a challenge. Continued best wishes. - Dean from Edina

[@kylegerlach9117]

So far our 105 day corn has done better than our 108 and 111 day corn. We do have a powerhouse 109 day corn that is holding its own. We were just way too dry this year in Indiana.

[@joesears584]

Thanks for doing the videos. As a new farmer I love to watch the professionals. I was reading a news article about a small family farm in distress. Having trouble paying bills with the low price of commodities and stuff. I am a city farmer and get what I ask usually. That farm had a go fund me so gave a donation. I guess there are plenty of farms like this. Just wanted to see if you would want to raise some awareness and if there where some good places to send a donation thanks

[@toddbehrends1373]

Thank you for getting a train in today's vlog.

[@22gonefishing]

Stay safe out there, I hear there are some crazies putting chains on corn stalks out in western MN so keep your eyes open.

[@CGW116A]

Even got a "Farmhand Mike video auger unload shot" splitting the combine and cart! 👍👍

[@ValiRossi]

You can buy level transmitters for the tanks. That would save you from climbing up every time.

[@SomeTechGuy666]

It's amazing that you have to dry all your corn down, only to ship it to the ethanol plant, where they mix it with water to make the mash. All that propane !

[@SomeTechGuy666]

@Ken Hofer BS. The first thing you do is crack the corn and mix it with water to make the mash.

[@1214101]

Frozen ground, is notoriously hard on tillage equipment, my friend.

[@badzioch64]

The actor playing you is hilarious. Worried about that german Shepard. She’s a bit careless.

[@noahhillyer7394]

The most Millennial moment ever..."I'm in a wet spot and could get stuck, I better take a video of it!"

[@MillennialFarmer]

🤣🤣 truth.

[@GCspARC]

Yeah, we plant but we don’t harvest. We use our seed to attract deer and other stuff. But we disc and plant. Mainly we plant oats and other stuff

[@liamjerkins7259]

You need to borrow one of Welkers Big Buds to pull the tillidge implement, 4-5 of them at a time in order to get done before winter...

[@MrTrashmasterfx]

Those cobs bouncing around on that header :)

[@Dave5783]

Way to go Zack on those bearings

[@caseyleez2477]

Bad tillage in the fall is better than great tillage in the spring !

[@tracygordon4629]

that jim is a good man

[@ginggur17]

Always a task to complete

[@billloman3151]

Out of curiosity, what does the steam coming off the corn dryer smell like?

[@denisonr]

Popcorn..very pleasant smell..

[@jburling81]

Money.

[@dustinhenry5213]

Could you put a string with a tennis ball that runs from the ground to the top and then into the grain bin? You would keep the ball at the top and then drop it down to see the height of the grain when the string gets slack. Just a thought. Love the channel

[@ozarksfarmerhansen8782]

Might want to look into the type of wheel bearing grease for your frozen conditions.

[@kaispud4875]

We just finished harvest down here in Indiana

[@dougd4917]

Glad to see you never play cheesy stock music or over saturate (slow motion) fx with your videos. Never change!!

[@Jc14323]

Finished tillage last night before the rain and snow!!!!

[@Classifiedreality]

Keep on keeping on!, and thanks for the vid!!!

[@markjenkins7969]

Zach, I hope that was a beer you was pulling out of the fridge 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@lonepine5596]

Zach, have you considered adding level alert indicators to those bins? Saves a lot of ladder climbing.

[@hike2]

385,000 people can now run the farm if Zack goes on vacation, SMART MAN!

[@robhakeman5873]

Zach have you ever tried the capela corn head I can't remember if you have or not. Since you didn't get much tillage done because of the weather and since the corn test weight was low will the cornstalks explode in the spring when you hit them with a disk chisel or mulch finisher ? Looking forward to your 2020 videos

[@berndodin817]

👍👍👍 greetings from Germany Nice job 👋👋👋

[@v3124]

So, what IS "92 day corn"? Does it take 92 days to grow from a seed to a certain point or what? What is the difference between it and 102 day (other than ten days, smarty-pants). Why does one yield different than the other and is there a price difference?

[@johomerza]

In central plains states 102 day corn has enough growing degree days to mature, and grows leaps and bounds over 92day corn. In Northern climates the growing degree days are less so longer maturity corn never gets to it's full potential before it goes into for lack of better terms, death mode. In our area of Ohio we would plant 102 as our earlier planted corn and finish with 92 day corn. Remember your not just planting for maturity it also needs time to dry before harvest.

[@v3124]

@@johomerza ok, so it's not necessarily mature 92 days after it's planted, but after it's had 92 days at a range of temperatures which are optimal for growth and drying? And 102 day corn tends to yield more?

[@johomerza]

@@v3124 kinda? Sorta? 92 and 102 is days till maturity, we just hope we have enough growing degree days in that time frame. Nevertheless, My Agriculture degree is from the School of Hard Knox and Failures University. Been there for 32 yrs, since I was 12 yrs old. Still learning everyday because everything changes with the wind.

[@grantlocken7097]

I miss the old sounds of the 97 series combines :-) great machines

[@davidbehnke4417]

Never farmed but always wondered how it was done.

[@d.miller1524]

What’s the total power bill after a season of running the grain dryers?

[@MillennialFarmer]

A lot!

[@smfobes]

The millennial farm must only get about 4 hours of sleep a night! Love the videos...glad some people have a passion for farming! Because I couldn’t do it!

[@markgillespie2347]

I am about 60 miles south and I do not farm but live on my dads farm. Like watching you videos. and was wondering how much land do you run. And also would like to come to your farm someday

Might want to check out the new 2730’s, they changed the tire style due to that sliding issue in the mud.

[@eworks9828]

Zach, wouldn't it be handy if the bin had a sight glass type of system for fullness. In this day in age an inside the bin sensor seems pretty doable and bluetooth. Remember you heard it here first....

Dinner time lol, miller time!!

[@damianboshoff4048]

I enjoy this even though I don't farm. I grew up on a farm a long time ago. The farmers of that era would be totally aghast at what goes on today.

I love that Senior is doing his notes and observations, equations on the paper with pen. Proper man, not a millenial computer crap :-)

I don't farm also shure like these videos though.👍

[@kirburator9565]

With all the cameras around the farm and in the equipment, why no cameras in the bins to check the grain levels? I guess you need to get some stair stepping in somehow.
