Harvesting our worst field of corn, Day 28 of Harvest

I am thankful that this is the worst field we had. We were blessed with a good harvest this year but still hard seeing yields that I have no hope of breaking even on #farmwithzoe #harvest24 #cornharvest #ohiofarm #geringhoffusa

[@corncobhill2442]

Great footage of your harvest. My Pop's 1st combine was a JD 30 pull type. 5 ft. cut ! Was in the 1950's. Took forever to cut 40 acres of beans. GH in MO

Love your videos ❤ you always look stunning ❤❤

[@lloydzilinski4401]

Like the cat socks. And George is right, I'm only 71 but agree with George. Kidding! I raised a daughter who liked to wear jeans like that, for a time.

[@farmwithzoekent]

The cat socks bring me joy 😅

[@lloydzilinski4401]

@farmwithzoekent My daughter would absolutely love those, even though she's 44. 🤣

[@williamwright8286]

Always good to plan ahead

[@nathanyoder4509]

Nice job on the chin-ups Zoe! Sorry the yields weren’t what you wanted on that field, but glad you got to have some Mexican food with Tanner!

[@farmwithzoekent]

Overall the other fields made up for the low yields, just so thankful the rest preformed better! 😊

[@glennjohnso310]

It’s been a bad year in a lot of the states. Normal yield. For beans on my farm in middle TN. Is 65 to 70 bushels this year it was 38. I have rolling land so the low spots where the water runs to would be 55 and the high ground would be as low as 17. Just like going to Vegas.

Great job! Have you ever thought about wearing disposable plastic gloves when you work with oil and grease? For many years I never wore any gloves now I wear them all the time..saves your hands trust me!

[@farmwithzoekent]

Yeah I wear them sometimes but trying to film anything while wearing gloves is impossible so it’s either no gloves and film or gloves on and I don’t film 😂

[@paullhommedieu2795]

@farmwithzoekent ok I understand..you are so lucky to still have your dad around and to be able to work with him every day..mine passed away suddenly like 14 years ago and I still miss him every day..great to see woman in the farming industry..keep up the good work! I enjoy watching your videos

[@paullhommedieu2795]

@@farmwithzoekent do you enjoy doing what you do? And how do you like having a u tube channel?

[@farmwithzoekent]

@@paullhommedieu2795 love farming, but it’s stressful with the markets right now. KZbin takes a lot more time to film edit and upload than all the other social media channels but it’s giving me some decent revenue and it’s a fun challenge.

[@paullhommedieu2795]

@farmwithzoekent that's great! Ya I heard corn kinda tanked? Good thing you have bin storage for your crops..with vegetables which is what I do there is no storage at least with the vegetables that I grow..and it's so labor intensive it's crazy

[@DanielParedes-m2r]

awesome! thank you! farmers are important!!!

[@RobNorton-q4c]

Your knowledge is amazing. Thank You

[@farmwithzoekent]

Thanks for watching!

In Alabama we had an issue with a low line that no one would do anything about. I was told as long as the equipment is in legal transport position & it hits a line we as farmers are not liable. Whoever put the line up is responsible. Well with our issue we finally got tired of trying to top toe around the low line so someone hung it & ripped it down. Guess what. The phone company come put it up & this time they put it high enough & we haven’t had a problem since.

[@farmwithzoekent]

I’ve thought about trying to take it down myself 😅

[@chris31521]

If you do it with a piece. Of farm equipment then there’s nothing they can do

[@godoftheinterwebz]

And how long were people unable to call 911?

[@joeshmo5399]

1:08 I was at my Dad's basement chin up bar today. I told him I would attempt to do one he said be careful I don't know if it will hold you LOL.

[@farmwithzoekent]

I’m just waiting for the day this breaks on me lol

[@karlmckinnell2635]

🤔 note to Santa: send more coats.

[@farmwithzoekent]

I’ve got too many at this point 😅

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

And Miss Zoe.. I dont mean to get to personal? But something was said about a discomfort ankles?? Now I'm no Doctor here.. But I may try a warm Bath with Baking soda and just soak your feet with Baking soda as your relaxing in the evening.. Just a suggestion... it helped me..

[@farmwithzoekent]

I actually went to an allergist a few weeks after this day on the farm. Turns out I’m allergic to dust, grasses, and my cat 😅 starting some allergy pills now!

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

@farmwithzoekent oh that's great..glad you got it figured out. Hope you get to feeling better. 👍

[@MikeAdermann]

Zoe, for your itchy ankles try this product. Gold Bond Friction Defense Stick, 1.75 oz., With Aloe to Soothe, Comfort & Moisturize Rough Skin

[@SW_Explorer]

Next sit down dinner for you and Tanner is on me. Bon Appetit ❤❤

[@farmwithzoekent]

That’s very kind, thank you 😊

[@gigantor56]

So, the question is, where is your coat you started the day off with? HAH!

[@farmwithzoekent]

Who knows 😂

[@godoftheinterwebz]

Why do farmers seem to always seem to save the worst for last? Do it first while you are energized and before you start burning out

[@farmwithzoekent]

This field was planted later than the other ones so we had to wait for the corn to be ready to harvest. We also didn’t know it was going to be the worst, I didn’t do too many yield estimates before we got to harvesting

[@farmwithzoekent]

Also for us the worst fields are usually the fields that have the worst drainage so they usually don’t get planted as early and for us the early stuff usually preforms the best!

[@godoftheinterwebz]

@@farmwithzoekent Makes sense. Thank you

[@housecat5202]

13 pullups congrats

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thank you for sharing. Like the cat socks! Why get new pants? There acouple more months left in those.. sorry about the yield. It will work out in the end.

[@farmwithzoekent]

These jeans have lasted me a long time!

[@nathanmeece9794]

She can always cut them shorter and make a pair of shorts

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

@nathanmeece9794 yeah she could.. and take the money she saved from not buy a new pair.. she can get another coat..❤️

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

@farmwithzoekent oh I hear you.. its hard to let go of jeans that are comfortable. Besides just use the money for not buying jeans! Get more cat socks and another coat..

[@terencetaylor4600]

Go George.

[@tracyeaves1084]

Getting the government to do something is like trying to get a gator to let you brush it teeth

[@terencetaylor4600]

Seven not to bad lol.

[@farmsimaddict2025]

You'd have less chaff in the boots if you replaced your pants. 😂

[@farmwithzoekent]

So true! And significantly less itchy lol

[@sunline24]

WOW! I get to be first.

[@farmwithzoekent]

Thanks!

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi Zoe. Do you recycle your used oil or will you use it to heat your shop

[@farmwithzoekent]

We have a guy we take it to who heats with it!

[@nathanmeece9794]

Have you thought about wearing some disposable gloves to help keep grease of your hands?

[@farmwithzoekent]

My issue is that with disposable gloves on I can’t turn my camera on and off so either I have to film for the whole process or not wear a glove so I can hit start and stop on my phone. When I use gloves I typically just don’t film what I’m doing!

[@tysonklemm8522]

Please put some work boots 👢 on .

[@farmwithzoekent]

No toes were injured this harvest 😅 but yes definitely is smart to always be wearing appropriate footwear but on the long days my feet are sick of boots by the end of the day

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Lost me at pullups.

[@farmwithzoekent]

🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s my harvest challenge for myself
