Farming VS Rain

[@thomasdiaz5116]

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.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thank you for watching!

[@kmjsuperfly1]

All that coordination is easy. Just hit H Key to hire a new worker.

[@maxjager2154]

This still is not Farming simulator. But the workers need a lot of coordination too.

[@MillennialFarmer]

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

What isn't funny about it? Crosspatch, no sense of humor at all anymore, anywhere..........geez

[@MillennialFarmer]

So far I've been accurate, we're looking WET!

[@Theghostofpeter]

MN Millennial Farmer, that what she said!

[@deannelson9565]

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.

[@andrewmason7424]

I work for a fertilizer company in Michigan, and it’s been raining non stop last night and today. Supposed to continue for the next couple days. Makes for a slow shift!

[@diersirrigation]

Did he mooooooove over? You didn't show it? The only thing that is dry this spring is your humor. 😉 Keep up the good work. What does Zack say when he sees a blue or an orange tractor?

[@franrautiola2619]

Totally hi tech farming, I grew up on a farm in the 50s and very early 60s, the equipment you have nobody could have imagined at that time, there was a big jump in farm production from horses to the farm machinery in my day. There was much bigger jump in production with the type of farming equipment now available. Keep up the interesting videos

[@linusbastien2431]

Ontario,Canada iam a 55 yr old farm hand lol,we dont have 1 acre of anything planted.It rains 1to 4 inches ever 3or 4 days.and lol for the next 3 week.oh the winter wheat is toast,there is some good YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU I do enjoy .

[@chriswinter7107]

Zac, I love your videos. But bro. You're one sick puppy. Love the humour. Any update to having the farm on Farm Simulator 19?

It's being done, hopefully mid summer! Look for news on that soon!

[@koltens.4854]

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

[@easylooker4889]

You can actually plant faster with row cleaners with just wheels. They never slung up the roots like your tracks are doing. The row units did not bounce around as much with the row cleaners moving the clods out of the way. Made a much more even seed bed and even emergence as well. On our Kinze we have a slanted bar that hugged the wheels that keep the wheels clean as well. But at the same time we didn't work the ground either. It was notilled

[@timmattingly2954]

That was a John Deere planter pushing a red tractor.

[@MillennialFarmer]

lol!!

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

How come you don’t use a seed tender that you can just load the pro boxes on rather than pick them up and drain them into an auger which puts them into your other seat under

[@genechronister7085]

Nice vid! Been there fighting rain for our hay!

[@SmallMartingale]

I've been list to your Field Work podcast. Are you considering implementing any of the soil conservation practices you've been discussing like strip till? Really been enjoying the show btw, listening on TuneIn radio.

We have nothing planted in southern Illinois and calling for rain till June

[@MillennialFarmer]

That's just nuts

I hope you’re packing heat in that cab in case you have an encounter with a biting goat or a mountain cougar. Nothing too powerful, you just want them to know that you think they’re neat but you respect their distance.

No ear plugs!! I have the same problem from "back in the day" when we ran open headers - sometimes straight and only about 10" long. I now wear ear protection even when running my zero turn at the race track.

[@owenhill4309]

Do you put nitrogen in your fields before you plant?

[@michaelvangundy226]

I can remember, in the way back machine, that grandpa would plant milo in those fields that were way late.

[@timdenowh95]

Hey Zach, a moldboard plow would take care of the corn residue issues. :)

[@tylermartin4726]

Using a moldboard plow also leads to excess surface erosion. It’d be better to just deep rip.

I enjoy your videos so much. My wife and I had a small dairy farm 30 miles east of Buffalo NY but the equipment was very small. I think that is why I enjoy watching your videos with the new equipment I don’t know how you can afford to have so much newer equipment.

[@farming4g]

I swear sometimes you have a recliner in your tractor.... and you must have colorblindness. CLEARLY, you can't see how awesome those red machines are LOL Trying to look at it this way (it's hard but...): if the weather keeps this up, perhaps grain prices will improve because crops can't get it... but then again the political machine take priority over prices sadly.

[@eileenerickson1875]

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! 🙂

[@anthonybanda8192]

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 .

[@tylermartin4726]

Down here in Ohio, we only have 30 acres of corn planted (last week). We might get to the point where we only plant the farms that are supposed to be beans this year and let the corn ground sit idle this year.

[@philipkimber6302]

You guys have too much rain. Over here in South of the UK we have not had any meaningful rain for almost two months. Weird weather. But does it normally rain this time of year for weeks where you are ?

[@matthewarndt613]

Get fertilizer from Evansville Indiana we have been sending a bunch up there due to rivers being to high to unload

[@B-Rac]

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.
