I love it when Man and machine know each other so well. 🚜🚜 Two tractors up!🤠

[@nicholass5405]

if your in the country by me breakfast is in the morning, dinner is at noon, and supper is in the evening.

[@julianwaldner6252]

Nicholas s and lunch is any snack in between lol

[@MillennialFarmer]

Finally someone gets it

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

I agreem

[@nickkercheval2704]

Nicholas Same here. I remember harvest in the fifties when my grandmother and mother put extra leaves in the table and cooked a big meal at noon for dinner. Also Sunday dinner at midday. Supper was always in the evening.

[@easylooker4889]

Same here as well, lunch is only when you had a small dinner. Like just a ham sammich. If it's big it's a dinner and of course supper is at night.

[@Transit_Biker]

No excuses, just hop out & fix it. That's what kids these days need to learn!

[@rnk8567]

“Finally, I didn’t think he was ever gonna leave” 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shawnfloyd5757]

Working around mother nature ,something a farmer never gets used too. Great video Zack!

[@walterhiegel3020]

Finally ...didn't think you were ever gonna stop filming!

[@tallpat62]

Hello from Ireland Zac. Love your informative videos. It brings back memories of when I was a contractor here. I also love that you dont use bad language or get into politics. Happy harvesting.

[@bigmoose1977]

I really enjoy your videos. Takes me back to my previous life and the many hours I spent on tractors and combines. All the best in this challenging harvest year.

[@paulpence8895]

Ah, remember the good old days with no throat/feeder reverser!!! You quit cutting tough beans a lot earlier then, no fun trying to crank that damn thing in reverse by hand with the 3ft wrench.

[@MyExcitingBoringLife]

Thanks for sharing these videos and updates Zach, really enjoy watching them!

[@SteveHolsten]

Thanks, Zack for another fine video. They sure go by so fast seems like!

[@SomeTechGuy666]

We had a rock picker just like yours. You can pick a big boulder like that with a Degelman if you are patient and careful. Go out there with a loader and dig down a bit on one side. Then drive the picker up with the reels as high as you can put them and the grate as far down. Then push with the loader and drive the picker tractor ahead. If you get half the boulder on the grate, you've got it. Use a big ratchet strap to hold the rock on the grate while you drive. There is no way I'd farm around that thing year after year. It would drive me nuts. The other way to move that boulder is to buy a 4x10 sheet of steel, maybe 1/2". Push the sheet under the rock with the loader. Pull it away.

[@puncherdavis9727]

So I want to leave some feedback for you Zac on why I think your channel is booming so much. One your quirky sense of humor is awesome and the pan face on the joke cracks are awesome. Two your beautiful kids that you show so much love to and enjoy as a part of the great family experience with a very patient wife. Three for me is you dont cuSS..no God this Jesus that F this those guys suck im better bleh bleh crap. I think you show a very postive and professional demeanor in what you do. The teamwork beween you and your dad and other employees is pretty consistent. So keep up the POSTIVE stuff world needs more of it. Also a big thing for me is something goes wrong you dont just implode with massive negatives emotions. You go out like the bar in the header and FIX it. Figure it out and then hey get on with it. I predict in text you will be at 250k Subscribers within 6 months and probably close to 500k in another year. Keep up the great work and God bless you all.

[@aforman1951]

I concur on all points! Love this channel!

[@tsint]

One other interesting thing is that the number of views per video is often same or more than the number subscribers - and that is quite rare nowadays.

[@MillennialFarmer]

You are all too kind, thank you!

[@Mar_Ten]

The fact that I watched one vid and youtube now keeps recommending his videos to me seems to help as well :3

[@Theghostofpeter]

Well said!

[@wbball15]

Grateful for the laughs, Zach. Thanks.

[@whataguy7032]

Your dog has a "grunty pig"!!!!!!! Our Rottie loves hers! She has several of them............BTW, REALLY good yield per acre for your beans!

[@nanoseTT]

The Deere next to the sunset was beautiful ! I live for moments like this man ! Great work, as always.

[@kfcandwatermelon9448]

Slipknot i see, a man of culture

[@justthomasunboxing6689]

Love watching you’re videos great way to end the night is coming home drinking a beer and watching you’re videos

[@1DirtyMutt]

Regarding the auger light, check the wiring where the auger pivots, maybe you have a broken or pinched wire.

[@ryancafin7892]

And this is why you have the best channel always show the good bad and the ugly parts of farming

[@barrythompson4605]

I really enjoy watching your videos here in Indiana great job Zach !!!!

[@treytonzoss1853]

Great video! We were very blessed to have broken our overall soybean yield at 82 this year!

[@martinmaloney7294]

Another great video , just finished rice tv harvest , you guys are neck and neck .

[@echutch]

Many have said thanks, I’ll reiterate that sentiment. Much appreciated kind sir. Nice to see 80 flash up there.

[@BillyRoberts]

This guy is a good farmer.

[@richardholbeck2710]

Wow, things have changed a lot in the last 100+ years! .. I am 72 years old and have grandchildren, some are in the single digits. .. My grandfathers were involved in farming in South Dakota. .. My father's father was a farmer in Colman, SD .. My mother's father repaired farm equipment in Mt. Vernon, SD. .. Amusing tidbit: They were 100 miles apart, but didn't meet until they were adults in California. They met at an amusement park, the Pike. They hit it off and were ready to get married the next day. They waited 4 days to coincide with my mother's parents wedding anniversary. My parents married December 1, 1945. .. My mother's maiden name was Boisen. The 4 Boisen brothers did the farm implement and auto repair. .. Farming has remained much the same, but it has advanced so much with technology.

[@coderedmonte]

love seeing farmers show what its like on a normal day during harvest season, living in SE SD its a rare thing right now due to how much water is still standing in the fields, keep up the awesome content man, you earned another subcriber.

[@DerekWiedenheft]

Those Dumb and Dumber references were great, Awesome video once again.

[@GooseWaffe]

10:17 nice bit of slipknot there haha

[@richardbryant7165]

Just a comment on the anger LED light. Because LED lights don't draw as much current the relay that controls it doesn't recognize enough amperage draw. Try mounting a small yellow or red incandescent light out there with your LED to create the extra draw. I had a similar experience with my semi and that seemed to cure the problem. Great job and keep the videos comeing.

[@adamhession3478]

Loving these regular uploads🇮🇪🤙🚜

[@jamesgardner8335]

This guy makes farming look fun

[@TruckDrivinGamer]

I'm curious to hear if anyone ever shows up to take your free boulder. 🤔 Keep us informed! LOL. Nice vid, Millennial. Loving the daily updates, thanks for that! LET'S GO, HARVEST 2018!! 📣

[@SlipShodBob]

He will have to put a sign up pick your own boulder, we have pick your own flints and I know another has pick your own granite boulders and rocks near Wales

[@donniesmith4124]

Yes!! A little slipknot and harvesting! 🤘

[@bradhh1234]

Haha love the Little clips of music, from Motley Crue to Slipknot.

[@brinkme1772]

"you could try welding that" ... priceless

[@jfdb59]

"There's my led light again! It's working. For now... .. . No light" haha Sounds like my truck.

[@jeffpaggett7274]

I still miss working with my Dad on our Cockshutt 5542 combine. Even with all the technology, the best practice is still to go out back and see what's blowing through....tried and true.

[@marklehrer4546]

Your video is great. I like the fetch with the dog, tire welding, Boulder for sale. Adds so much about what it is really like. I’d like to see a little on the controls, gauges, what the buzzer is telling you. Just a thought. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@2fast65]

Great video Zach thanks have a good night be safe and the family also.

[@BelaM27X11]

seeing the excitement reminds me how it is over here. Living in an area with the best soil you can find in the country and one of the best world wide and what do they do? building freaking industry on top of it.

no kidding! I can't believe how lucky you were to catch that. Usually you'd be asleep with the whole rig on autopilot😉

Biodiesel does that when it gets cold. The trucking company that I use to work for had the same problem in the winter at all there northern yards

[@kylefitzpatrick6926]

You have the best dad jokes. Your channel is inspiring me to want to carry on the farm my grandfather started. Keep up the great videos!

You can have the combination meal "brupper". It includes all nutrients for breakfast, lunch and supper! And last is evening meal - a beer.

I feel like I should be wearing my work gloves when I watch these videos! Combines are rollin' ..it's GO time!

Thanks for what you do!

[@andersonbagents2963]

Thanks for showing the bu-per acre for once Zach 😂😂😂

[@LAWSON08]

Those yields are yuuuuuuge! I feel like a small-shooter here. Our land can't compare!

[@bradmayes1087]

hope tge weather continues to hold for you wish u all the best of luck

[@Rightwinger1982]

im gonna give u a tip on sickle cutters. its not sharp sections that are whats important (obviously u need good sharp sections tho) what matters are the guards. as guards wear and the gap the sections go thru begin to grow your cutting ability will go down. always keep yer section to guard tolerances tight.

[@krisbower8816]

"Traffic jam"...my opinion a pretty one, though!!!

[@timjanssen1671]

You must have some awesome deer hunting around there, a lot of big bucks. Beautiful place.

[@beardedskadoosh8835]

Great views Zack! Hope it's a simple fix.

I always got crap from my boss when i drove into the yard with slipknot blazing on our JD6300 but yah i was the only one doing fieldwork there often (dairy farm)

best thing to clean the stone trap with is a hockey stick never her dirty and it works well

[@jamesgoldsmith4805]

Cool combines!

[@matthewitt70]

Soybeans are rough on equipment. Glad to see they dried down for you up there really love this channel. Nice job on explaining whats happening. Keep it up!!!!:)

[@MrJohnnyScrabble]

Not first, not last. Just happy to be here. I've got a couple of those pigs for my dog too, he absolutely loves them. In regards to the tire, I recommend Fix A Flat, found at most major Auto Parts stores and Wally Worlds. Think that'll seal it right up for you.

[@ksfarmdude8939]

Very interesting video's your in the same predicament as we are here in Kansas fall crops not drying down we had 7 inches of rain two weeks ago fields are muddy had around 1000 acres of winter wheat already planted and looks like 400 acres may need to be replanted waiting for ground conditions to improve to harvest beans so we can go back to wheat on took a test cut On milo yesterday was running 18 % hoping for continued dry conditions to get going again

[@keithpatty384]

Best farm channel period!

[@jaxonhoffmeyer309]

I laughed way to hard when the berms gent around the reel toward the end of the video.

[@charlesburns6601]

[@indianahoosier7113]

We could try welding that lol

[@rogerwilson9361]

problem and more problems but glad to see they were easy fixes nice video.

[@SomeTechGuy666]

I can't believe how short your days are. I'd check the clearance under the header auger as to why the beans stop feeding when it gets a bit tough. Can you adjust the feeder chain height or how far forward it goes ? A straight cut header with a draper belt would feed them until you couldn't get them through the feeder housing. When picking up cereal crops with a draper header you can feed it until the cylinder plugs.

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

A lot to keep you busy! At least the weather was cooperating! Great vid #WorldsOkayestFarmer
