First day of planting 2016!

[@waterskiingfool]

You did a great job of explaining what was going on in the cab.

[@sawsurgeon]

Thanks for posting such informative and educational content. We’re running a little older technology in our operation. Deere 3010 with a 4-row 7000 Max e Merge planter. Cultivated three times over. That’s when I see doubles and skips... A little late to make adjustments!Technology has definitely come a long way! Blessings!

[@coltonhelms791]

Going through old videos weird seeing you in something without tracks lol

[@bobrobert6277]

also getting up to date,less humour but just as filled with info

[@johnsebar7807]

fun looking back at these early videos compared to the ones you are putting out now. Information is still excellent then and now.

[@geralynlarocque969]

Wow! Farming has come a long way from when I was a kid.

[@callmebigpoppac9205]

Loved this video. I learned more about the computer and settings processes than ever before. I was an "Old School" farmer. Before the computer age. Where you just filled a seeder/planter and off you went to sow. I've never used a tractor or seeder where you had to program your seed and how you wanted it distributed. So this video educated me somewhat. Looking forward to the ones hereafter.

[@vanillaandy8814]

Compared to 2021, this planter seems old-school EASY.

[@chrismelvin8200]

Wow! Thanks so much for sharing. Fascinating.

[@MillennialFarmer]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@roynelson7613]

Brother you have the best videos ever man you explain all the tip top technology to all of us people that just want to know you handle the biggest equipment best of Technology and you're educated about all of it makes it very interesting man I bet I watch at least 5:10 of your videos a day if not more and sometimes you talk about some of your content not being so good you don't want to post it you would be surprised have a good one man stay safe and God bless brother

[@tylerwillis994]

great channel, no other real modern day farms like this that have videos telling you about the new technology farming

[@MillennialFarmer]

Tyler Willis Thank you!

[@justinmills8084]

Thanks for explaining what your doing, it helps us that have been out out the farming industry for years. We like to see the new equipment and how it works. Thank you for great explanations.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Justin Mills Thanks for watching!

[@roynelson7613]

I've already seen this video but I had to come back and watch it again there will be so many people that will be learning so much from you man and I'm sure some of those people will be trying some of the tips and tricks you are familiar with can't get enough of it man grab another gear and keep it safe brother see you on the next one man

[@russkes9407]

as a much smaller farmer I enjoy this so much. we try doing this stuff with pop it's more manual but in the future hope to run the same tech

[@MillennialFarmer]

Russ Kes It's great technology!

[@BRENTTULLY-uk5tr]

Hi 👋 Zach Johnson

[@alyciarodman4190]

Best farming videos I've seen. I grew up on my grandpas farm in Iowa in the 1960s and 70s, we used Farmall M and John Deere 490 four row planter. The size of todays equipment is amazing. What is the model and H.P. of the J.D. you are planting with?

[@MillennialFarmer]

We are using an 8335R. 335 horsepower. I believe that is the engine h.p. rating.

[@matthewmagluilo3818]

This is a throwback, love the videos! I also have your farms map on farming simulator 19

[@FantasyDreamHomes]

Amazing video. You do a great job of explaining. I can't believe all of the technology. It's awesome! I have subscribed and plan on watching most of your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@scottkailey1]

Very informative. Great video keep it up.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thank you!

[@Ticky66MN]

Just found your channel this morning and I'm catching up on your content. I grew up on a dairy farm just across the Mississippi in WI and my Dad still does farm there. I'm in rural southeast Minnesota now (Plainview/Elgin) and I've got to say I'm loving your videos. No one has explained things as you are and I really enjoy and appreciate it. Thanks for sharing with with us and keep up the great work. I was just watching the farmers loading their JD planter in the field by our home this morning.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thank you for the kind words! It's great to know people like you are watching.

[@annafraley5388]

Wow, that was really interesting, you could teach that. In flying we would call that a “Flight Instructor” So for you a Farming Instructor... 👍

[@2fast65]

yet another great video keep them coming thanks.

[@Br1JD]

Muy bueno, que lindo equipamiento!! Las RPM del motor van realmente bajas, sorprendente.. (Very good, how nice equipment!! Engine RPM are really low, amazing ..)

[@MillennialFarmer]

¡Gracias por ver! seguir viniendo a por más !

[@rossweiss4009]

so much technology in today's tractors. with auto steer. I kinda think it takes a little bet of fun out of farming but that's my opinion I'm used to the old 4320 4440

[@cntslesfabrication]

Ross Weiss I don't have any experience with farming but I agree with you 100 percent I have been running equipment for most of my life and I would prefer older equipment without a computer and GPS because it takes skill to run them and experience

[@elementvideography6199]

The new tractors are better for better yield and effiency

[@cntslesfabrication]

Alix Element I'm sure they are when it comes to to farming but I have equipment for tight area's and I have a excavator that I can drive into any business with a 36in door opening it makes repairing grease traps 100 times easier than by hand. I drove my great aunts old John Deere tractor to mow his lawn 16 years ago in Michigan that was the only time that I drove one because out here in Vegas the only time you see farming equipment is when it's getting shipped to Cali

[@scotthag1993]

Always that guy.... oncology isnt always bad. Still need to know how to operate and know what your doing

[@andykeeble1]

Excellent and fascinating video, you explain the tech really well. Things have changed massively since I worked on farms back in the 1980's (that makes me feel really old lol!), you need a degree in computing by the looks of it! How many acres do you currently farm and do you contract out to other farms? Many thanks for taking the time to post this video, I have subbed and am looking forward to the next instalment.👍 Take care from the 🇬🇧. 🍀👍

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thank you! We are running 2,500 acres right now. The only thing we hire done at this point is some fertilizer application and soil sampling. In the future I hope we can do those on our own also.

[@andykeeble1]

Thanks for that, much appreciated.👍

[@jordanfuessley5639]

We run Isteer for the planter we put on 32%

[@collin27]

Very cool video, hope to see some more!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thanks!

[@venu2841]

OMG I'm so happy with ur reply...tq so much..lots of love from India..

[@MillennialFarmer]

Venu Gopal Thanks for watching!!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Venu Gopal If you search "center pivot irrigators" you will see how irrigation is done in our area of the world!

[@venu2841]

Sure..Tq so much

[@kreimer674]

great informational video. keep the camera rolling.

[@MillennialFarmer]

That's the plan!

[@tralinw]

If you add a receiver to your planter you could maintain that sub inch accuracy

[@MillennialFarmer]

I was told this week JD doesn't offer I-guide anymore. We never did it because it wasn't really worth the additional cost for us. Most of our fields are flat enough to not worry about it.

[@Junior-oe3hp]

+MN Millennial Farmer i hated i guide

[@glennfowler9521]

when you have a skip why doesn't the tractor auto slow to give the planter time to adjust? or would this type of action/adjustment be cost effective?

[@PeterE89]

nice channel and nice work you are doing there, hope you keep up with it , you now have one follower more on your channel ;-) ... best wishes and greetins from Austria :)

[@greggoesgaming]

That's awesome man. What planter model and tractor model ya runnin there? All that technology they have today is cool too. Greenstar is a really cool thing.

[@MillennialFarmer]

8335R Deere with Deere 1770NT 24x30 planter

[@greggoesgaming]

+MN Millennial Farmer Sweet man. Thanks for the reply. Good luck with your crops this year man.

[@rattlinurcage3]

Very good video !! Hope to see some more videos and maybe some harvest too ?

[@MillennialFarmer]

Absolutely! I hope to have 1 or 2 videos every week so people can follow me throughout the entire season.

[@Spaude123]

good video. seems like you have alot of know how. subscribed!

[@polishfarmer7434]

Good video ! Greetings from Poland :)

[@greggoesgaming]

What row unit do you have on your planter? Maxemerge 5?

[@justincase2830]

excellent presentation.Where in Mn are you farming?

[@MillennialFarmer]

We are just southwest of Alexandria, between Minneapolis and Fargo.

[@RobertLidstroem]

Excellent video very informative!

[@unkwn705]

Nice office ;) Cool video

[@jamesgoldsmith4805]

Aren’t those screens a bit low down?...

[@jdfarmer1767]

Very Interesting!! Great Video!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thank you!

[@TheOneSaskatchewanFarmBoy]

And now that spreader is damaged from being tipped over

[@nikolaitownsend1239]

What tractor were you using on for the planter?

[@jacksonstipe1966]

Neat video! Curious on how you have the Climate App mapping without the 2020 seed sence? We want to do the same with our planter and not buy the 2020.

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thanks! We're not running the 2020 stuff. We're just using the JD Seedstar XP on the 2630. Nothing from Precision Planting on our planter. I know it can be done though, our Climate/Fieldview guys are telling us we should get the 2020 for next year.

[@MillennialFarmer]

After reading your question again I might have not answered what you were looking for. The Fieldview app is picking the information up wirelessly through a Bluetooth device that's plugged into the can-bus port inside the tractor. You can also do it by transferring the data with a USB, but obviously that won't be in real time. The Bluetooth "puck" is from Climate and it was $200 or $250. I wouldn't go without it though.

[@jacksonstipe1966]

Cool thanks for the info. I was thinking you had to have 2020 to have FieldView Drive to work. Good to know I'll have to look into it.

[@NilsExploringAmerica]

nice content! greetings from a german in the us. :)

[@MillennialFarmer]

Welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@norWISequipment]

Awesome video!

[@jamesgoldsmith4805]

I have the same iPad charger as you! Well did anyway!

[@sodbusterbrown]

What kind of camera are you using

[@garydalluge9275]

How are the tracks working out

[@MillennialFarmer]

So far they're awesome! I'm pretty convinced that we're getting better ride quality and singulation because the planter is riding smoother. they don't hardly carve at all when I turn and they don't leave ridges in the soft/mellow areas like the tires. Also when I have to lift a little through a muddy spot they don't start to push mud like the tires do.

[@venu2841]

how u used to irrigate those massive fields??

[@MillennialFarmer]

Venu Gopal We don't have any irrigators. Our soils are actually too heavy and we install a lot of below ground drain tile. There are a lot of irrigated 160 acre fields east of us. They use large center-pivot irrigators.

[@aldarar]

Todays is also April 15th :) 3 year later :)

[@nathanbecker936]

What tractor is that? We have a John Deere 8285r power shift and a 8360r with ivt

[@MillennialFarmer]

8335R with IVT

[@fartzanitarzani5970]

Whos watching these in 2021

[@brodydeim93]

Me

[@nzfarming1685]

Ye

[@reddo84]

5. nice and east so far

[@justincase2830]

thanks!

[@mythreesonsfarms]

Very nice video

[@BruceHubbell]

Just great!

[@kopecz99]

So farmers are part mechanic, part engineer, part computer programmer, part scientist.

[@thebeast8285]

Yes essentially everything

[@ThatManJacob]

very nice video! hope to see more, where from MN are you guys located? I'm by Waconia mn

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thanks! We're in the West Central area, south of Alexandria.

[@Junior-oe3hp]

do you have a instagram ?

[@MillennialFarmer]

I do not right now but I'm considering getting on to a different platform so I can make shorter videos more often. I'm trying to decide between Instagram, Twitter, or Snap chat. I wouldn't want to do all 3

[@alexbrowneudora]

+MN Millennial Farmer I think a snapchat would be awesome!

[@Junior-oe3hp]

+MN Millennial Farmer snapchat is the best !!! but instagram is also really good too. you meet so many farmers all over the USA

[@MillennialFarmer]

+Christian Atkins I did create an Instagram a few days ago. I haven't done anything with it yet but look me up!

[@BruceHubbell]

You should monetize these too !

[@jonathanrichter3184]

For the algorithm

[@marksimonar1550]

Farmers these days have it so easy ! All computers to do the work. When i was growing up we did it the hard way without computers and GPS's and auto steer !

Bet you won’t reply to this comment
