It's greasy out in the field but we're gonna get it done today and wrap up Harvest 2021. Onyx receives his first combine lesson. The throttle is a bit touchy but he will have it figured out in no time! There was no shortage of cab corn and no bunnies were harmed in the making of this video. We even got to pull out the Moline after Dad got the header trailer stuck in the mud.

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

The look on Onyx's face, he's determined to line up the header just right, once he finally got it right, he looks up at Dad for approval. Reminds me of working with my Dad, :) but he's passed away, almost (1) year. Onyx it's these days that are the BEST :)

@@josef5319 Nobody is, "Set For Life". Business climates change for what ever reason and many farms can and do go under. I've seen it happen in my own area of north central Illinois. Many kids raised on farms don't wish to stay and run a family farm. It's sad but it's their choice. After seeing grandfathers and fathers struggle with weather and mechanical problems and thing beyond their control, they walk away from it.

I like the way you are willing to give him the experience at his age, yet don't overdo making him work. He's learning a work ethic, yet still gets to be a kid. Well done, Dad. We didn't get to see Jim get stuck this year. Oh well, there's still tillage. LOL

Zach, you need to get one of those steering wheel knobs in the combine for Onyx! Deere sells them for their lawn tractors but they work awesome in field tractors and combines too! You guys will love it so much more turning at the ends and just for everything really; definitely will let Oynx use only one hand for the steering instead of two and the other hand for the joystick and return to cut numbers. In fact, I guarantee that you'll put one in all your equipment after you do one. You will be addicted for sure! Your welcome in advance.

That video brings back memories of me and my son in teaching him how to operate heavy equipment when he was only 8 years old. And on Saturdays he always wanted to go to work with me just so he could be able to get on the front end loader or my bulldozer or he wanted my excavator I was on, and I’d have to tell him that I’ve got work that has to be done before Monday morning. But he loves the Heavy Equipment,but give it up too become a over the road truck driver and now he owns his own truck and I super proud of him,he’s a great kid can you believe that I still call him kid and he turned 33 this year and they just had their first child,my first grandchild and he’s as happy as I was when I got him.!!!! Your son looks like he’s up to operating the machine’s give him a little bit more time and you want need to tell him anything he will be doing it on his own.!!🙏❤️🏁

Way to go Onyx. First time I drove combine I was 12. We were immigrants and I had to learn from a retired farmer in a language I barely understood. My father was in the same boat as he had always hired the combining done in Europe.

I love that Onyx immediately used the time driving straight with autosteer to be thinking about and asking about what he needs to do next when you get to the end of the row. Smart kid with great intuition.

Whilst not a combine, 'been there, done that'. I only wish I could go back and do it all over again. Onyx, you are fortunate that your father videoed this very special moment in your life. You learn quickly and are very talented. Good job young fella!

I thought your fight over that old pickup on the auction was hilarious. It was even funnier when you realized you had bought it. You didn't seem too excited about the purchase right after you had been having a war with the other bidder.

It’s always a let down after you bid. Especially when you went over your max. “Did I bid too much? How am I getting it home?”

Never ran a combine but I would love to, I remember growing up my grandpa telling me to go get a tractor that hasn’t been ran in a while and go drive her around and off I’d be. I love running tractors or equipment really it’s just fun to me and I could do it all day. It’s awesome seeing a younger generation doing this. My daughter who’s fixing to be 1 will definitely learn about tractors and everything. She already loves watching her pawpaw working on his cub 682 or his engine for his truck and she definitely loves to ride on the cub 682. She gets so mad when you have to get off of it.

Another great episode. Love these vids and watching Onyx learn and grow into the farmer his dad is. Really cool he got some seat time in the combine. I have to play Farming Simulator to get a chance behind the wheel. Way to go father and son. Can't wait for the next installment.

I listened to the podcast from April with Trevor Bales last night and Becky asked a very good question about biodegradable twine. It is actually a thing. It's made out of sisal, which is a cousin to hemp. I use it to make my 50 acres of hay every year. The problems with it are cost and quality. It has no comparison to plastic twine in consistency, so what you end up with are thicker and thinner spots in the twine which makes it miss knots frequently. It is really nice if you drop some out in the field since it will just rot away. However when you're making 500k Bales a year it just doesn't work.

Ahhh, like others have said that expression on Onyx's face learning to combine. I remember those exact feelings when I was a kid a dad would teach me how to operatre new equiptment. I also remember always getting carried away with too much throttle /and getting a little gung-ho. Ah man. Great to pass those memories onto our kids.
