Thanks for another great video Zach and Dad and Becky editing. It was interesting and enjoyable to watch. Lots of busy jobs today waiting for the grain leg to be repaired and put back up. Tillage equipment takes a beating in your soil conditions. Good thing you check it over as good as you do. You had several pieces that were bent and took a bit to get them replaced. Both pieces were two persons job it looked like. Some pieces are pretty heavy for one person. You and dad seemed to have it handled. Glad the grain bin company was able to come when the wind slowed down. That is too high for me to work. Wow. Takes a certain person to work at heights like that. Give the repair technician credit; he got it welded and put back up there by himself. Wow. I just could not work at heights like that. My compliments to him. Job well done. Looks like you are ready to hit the corn 🌽 hard next now that the grain leg is fixed. Go get em. About it I guess. Thanks for everything. You all take care and be safe. Thanks. The Iowa farm boy.

I farmed way back when you had to steer the combine and tractor and it doesn't seem that long ago but it was over 40 years ago. There has been so many changes and really it's all good. I think farming is more efficient than back then and a heck of alot more expensive. I look at Zack and his Dad and it brings back alot of good memories of my dad and me . I do wish I would have stayed on the farm but I decided to work in town. I did well for myself but nothing compares to the time I spent with my dad. Cherish the time you have with your parents and later with your family. Money isn't worth anything without your family.

My father grew up on a farm. As we know, dogs always have farms. My dad had a dog named Cookie. One day (in the late 1950's) Cookie got run over by a tractor. She was fine, but one of her front paws was slightly bruised. She healed up rather quick and stopped limping. But whenever dad would say, "Cookie! Are you hurt?" She would start limping again, but could never remember which front paw was hurting. I wish I had met that dog.

Garin elevators grain silos or harvester silos I'm not afraid of heights but when I get up on them but after a few mins your body adjusts to the height. Guess all that fresh airs a shock to some folks system 😂😂😂😂 but I agree with you no thanks my farming days are done so I have no urge to climb either one. But I will say when leg plugs because the silage is too moist definitely takes a bit to break that chunk loose stay safe y'all been watching from the beginning you've definitely evolved the operation of your way very well. Glad Jim's back healthy and better then ever also your dad's knowledge irreplaceable in my opinion and onix since starting on a grain cart now doing a little bit of everything definitely brings back memories appreciate y'all and the time you take outta your day thank you all
