John Deere Factory Tour!

I learned so much about the construction side of John Deere's machines and was fascinated by all the AI tools that are used at the Des Moines works plant. ‪@JohnDeere‬ Thanks again for allowing me this awesome opportunity #paidtravel #johndeerepartner #factorytour #construction

[@nickjewart9351]

Pretty cool opportunity you received!!!

[@farmwithzoekent]

Very honored to get to do this!

[@aaronmenzie-w6q]

What an amazing opportunity! Thanks for the video! Also, construction equipment can be super handy on farms, too. We bought a small excavator a few years ago, and it's amazing how many possibilities it's opened up for us. Whether it's an old concrete foundation in the barnyard, or a rock pile in the middle of a field, or a washout, or anything that we've worked around for years because we didn't have the tools to clean it up; well, now we can. We didn't have any prior experience with excavators, either, but we just started doing jobs with it and learning as we went along.

You look good in the practice ring with the steer. You look very professional Zoe. With your level of attention to detail, I believe you’ll do well. I personally have never shown livestock myself , but I had several friends in FFA in high school who who did. And unfortunately, like our farm, which is a large industrial park now their farms are housing tracks and industrial parks as well over in South Jersey. but I know I believe you do a great job and make everyone especially your dad. Very proud.

[@farmwithzoekent]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottkrieger6386]

Yes, it looked very fun. Congratulations you deserved this fun.

[@lloydzilinski4401]

That steer you're showing reminds me of the first steer I showed in our local 4-H club up here in north central Alberta way back in the 60s. My Hereford was the same shade of red and had similar markings around his head.

[@mikhailalynn]

So cool that you got to see all of the crazy technology they're working on/with!

[@farmwithzoekent]

It’s crazy how far it’s come in the last 10 years alone!

[@jeffreyhoover2105]

Thanks zoe for sharing your john deere factory tour its amazing how technology is changing so much each year. I would love to tour one of the factories. Thanks zoe for sharing your video .

[@jeffharvey6768]

[@wayner806]

Enjoyed the video. The mic out in the wind was impressive sound quality! Enjoyed the JD tour. Kudos to see your work with the Ronald McDonald fundraiser!!! 🏆

[@farmwithzoekent]

The mics I got have been a real game changer!

[@JCannon-mk1ug]

When it comes to a tidy shop, there is a old saying. " a place for every thing, and every thing in it's place"

[@lloydzilinski4401]

I see the Angus was giving you a bit of trouble in deciding who was boss.😅

[@bladewiper]

Always good to see "ag with Emma". Looks like she is well, She has not posted for a while.

[@MB93WP]

That’s what I was thinking I was hoping she was ok miss her videos

[@farmwithzoekent]

Great to hang with her for a few days! Always important to take time off when needed!

[@Babe-g6k]

Glad you enjoyed it since they're moving to Mexico now.

[@bladewiper]

When you are worried about not getting every thing tight, carry a marker/paint pen, and mark the bolts/nuts as you tighten them. Then you or someone else can see if you missed any.

[@bradmoyer9737]

If you do this next year, you will need a passport.

[@danielrandolph9170]

John Deere is a damn pirate !! There prices along with all the big tractor makers !!!!

[@frankstdennis4545]

Thanks for the tour of John Deere My question is Do u have operation budget for expenses for crops And funds set aside for Equipment breakdowns and failures Or Do ur profits is based on what is left Thanks

[@farmwithzoekent]

I do keep tract of cost of production! Not necessarily a hard and fast budget, because I’ve already blown threw my repair budget for the year 😅

[@farmwithzoekent]

And basically if there is a profit it just gets reinvested, I pay myself a salary that I also put a majority back into my operating loan

[@scottkrieger6386]

Hi , thank you 2 things maybe I missed them didn't see your dad and your driving the 830hp quadtrac tractor. Think you would have enjoyed that power.

[@farmwithzoekent]

My dad wasn’t able to go but really wish he could have experienced some of this stuff!

[@scottkrieger6386]

@farmwithzoekent hopefully next time ,thank you have a good day.

[@casperghst42]

Technology is cool, until it breaks. Or when JD decides to raise their prices for their service. Also who owns the data they collect, the farmer or JD?

[@scottkrieger6386]

Jack stands safety first.

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi Zoe. Going through Google on my phone. Article from successful farming magazine about ADGO offering autonomous hardware and software on certain Fendts and 8r JD from 2014 and newer.

[@jaybernieschoep]

you should have brought your complete john deere parts list for the farm and take them home lol.

[@farmwithzoekent]

Hahahaha I don’t think they would all fit in my suitcase

[@jaybernieschoep]

@@farmwithzoekent i meant semi truck flatbed trailer lol.

[@mitchducky962]

Go Bucks 😊 OSU

[@farmwithzoekent]

Personally I want my page to be free of comments about the presidential race, I didn’t speak on it so idk why I’m getting an influx of comment on it, so if your comments have been deleted that’s why. :)

[@ROCK-s1t]

You must be a woke liberal 😂

[@DixieGeezer]

Or...ZOE goes to Mexico!! Great story. American Farmers must now lean Spanish to read the John Deer Maintenance manuals.😂😂🤣🤣

[@CurrentChoices]

Reason for toad invasion?

[@unsociable1938]

Did you also learn that they are outsourcing American jobs to Mexico? Start supporting American workers like farmers want American voters to support them!

[@farmwithzoekent]

I do believe that this trip was at a very unfortunate time. I know lots of people are frustrated with these decisions

[@ROCK-s1t]

Now we know where you stand on the political scene,it's time to boycott this channel FJB
