It Is What It Is

[@Machines.In.Action]

The perspective looking down on the truck is wild! This really shows the size of the equipment used in modern farming!

[@jayjaygee3306]

Running a big horse at sunset. Nothing like it. He'll treasure those times as long as he lives. Love your stuff. I've watched 'em all.

[@davidanalyst671]

3:23 Sometimes you gotta give the bins a little pat pat. Tell them you love them.

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

1:32 🫡 Zach I love how you care for your Father and do most of the tedious or hazardous things that need done. ❤ I wish I could just talk with my Dad how you two are. Let alone work together daily during challenging situations and getting through it well together thinking 💭 instead of getting upset and delaying the thinking ❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸 you are lucky. Both of you. God Bless and keep it up 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@SamuelManaole]

I can tell Onyx recognizes safety first, learned as lot over the years and with the racing too. Great parents /Great grandpa 😉🙏

[@Wi11duhbea5t]

The last shot with the plow across the sunset was badass

[@carrollpruitt7356]

Love your channel. Just an old retired guy here.

[@Mom-us5qy]

Just graduated boot camp a week and a half ago, still catching up on all the videos lol, keep it up

[@workinprogress5936]

Welcome back! There's a lot to catch up on.

[@Marshall_Weber]

Congrats 👏

[@Traks_threw_life86]

Awesome brotha!!

[@truthandfreedom885]

Army? What Fort?

[@johncollins500]

Welcome home & thank you for your service

[@rsh769]

Great video, great people, great equipment, and of course cool dogs. Im glad there is such a video, where there is no politics, but only nature and people and a little dust. Hello from cold Russia.

[@scobro1963]

It’s great to see Jim!

[@russellnesbitt4548]

I've called those birds 'sea gulls' all my life, and I live by the Salt water. But last year we took our RV to Alaska and found out from a forest ranger there are no birds called 'sea gulls', they are just gulls. There are many Different kinds of gulls. It's sorts like calling a Bison a buffalo. Thanks for your channel, never miss an episode.

[@jimkavalier2831]

Leave the hatch door on top open. Fly your drone up to check bin levels. Just learned this from an Oliver KZbinr!

[@johnharrington1008]

Thanks!

[@georgiacornjerker1457]

“Nope, gotta go deeper”. That’s what she said. Bahahahahahaha

[@rantonio]

I love watching harvest!

[@rumriverpikelake]

Really liked that final shot of tillage at sunset. I'm with you - love the smell of the fresh-turned dirt.

[@steamboatwillie935]

Didge: I could have caught that birb!! 🐦

[@jakegolden397]

LOVE your Chanel by the way! I watch the farmer around work ground and plant and harvest like a little kid!

[@lawrencekiel-sr2772]

You're like a good dad. When the bin is nearly full, you pat them till they burp, then fill them up full.

[@KellyBenedix]

I love how you love your dogs!!!❤

[@TaquitoAddict]

Fall tillage was always my favorite job on the farm. A crisp weekend afternoon cruising across stubble while listening to football on AM radio. Good times.

[@kustom4935]

Thank you for all the long hours and hard work... wishing you a safe and bountiful harvest.

[@gailp9432]

Excellent closing shot. The future of farming in America. 😊

[@JD9RX830]

Dangggg. I thought I was the only one that kept a metric crescent wrench on hot stand-by! You never know!

[@susanmallen5264]

“Not it!” Made me laugh.

[@robdixon945]

Thanks for the show guys 🍻

[@leerader2854]

Thanks for your future service, soldier! Safe travels!

[@randycarson3476]

I am so impressed with your son. I believe he's 14 now and he's driving that huge piece of machinery like he's been driving it for 25 years. Your son is a hell of a man

[@oldslow3694]

just learned a tool trick, i like how the 2 wrenches were used to loosen & tighten the chain adjustment

[@davidcolgan3268]

This video took me back 50+ yrs. As a couple of naive teenagers, my brother and I attempted farming. Probably the most enjoyable part was fall tillage but only 56” a pass with a 4 x 14” plow behind a JD 720D. And your comments about tile brought up another memory about 80 acres we were renting. It was very wet, and the landowner had already bought the 4” tile but would not pay anyone to install it. Good luck with corn harvest. May you issues be few!

[@funkslawncareservice]

I like the school bus going by while Onyx is out working. He is learning life skills!!

[@phillacy5545]

Great comment 👍

[@rnedisc]

You like child labour instead of going to school? Are you listening to yourself?

[@garymarch6438]

Metric Crescent Wrench You are Funny!!! HA HA HA!!! Seriously I have enjoyed your shows for years!!! You have such a strong family!!!! Thank you for making these videos.

[@louispaparella5766]

Actually...there is an adjustable wrench with metric on one side and standard on the other

[@benriser4018]

I am not a farmer but I really enjoy the window into a different lifestyle than my own. I appreciate any time you take the time to explain things. Would love to know why you want the peak up in the bins. I’m sure it’s got something to do with the way the air flows from the fans through the grain but I don’t know the why.

[@jakegolden397]

Does your dad ever get flustered or mad? He seems like the nicest most patient man around!!

[@truthandfreedom885]

@@jakegolden397I'm guessing it Comes with years of experience, getting pissed doesn't help fix any problem. I know plenty of farmers in there 60's and 70's haven't quite learned that yet. But there's still hope for them. For me the only time I get really pissed is when people don't listen to me.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Beautiful sunset!!!

[@boonescomputer]

The puppies switched sides from their normal seats! Onyx is an awesome young man. Really enjoy harvest time

[@KNJensen]

@2:45 looks really good with the 3 red trucks lined up ;)

[@MagicalAscension]

It's been great watching your son grow into being such a confident, capable young man. 🎉

[@deerwhisper9791]

Your dad has good taste in trucks finally,I have the same truck and color

[@gregjaniga1201]

That was awesome with Onyx in the field with you learning life lessons that will last him a lifetime.👍🙏🏻 When the school bus drove past, nothing like hands on experience.

[@magnumardent]

As much as I enjoy you, your family and your father , that Jim fellow must be the coolest guy on KZbin.....regards from Scandinavia😊

[@dougpeebles2383]

When I did moldboard plowing back in the 70s/80s the seagulls always seem to show up out of no where and bring their friends with them. They liked that fresh soil being turned over so they had their pick of the earth worms. Seem like they had built in sonar to where ever there was some plowing going on.

[@mick6ful]

`Great to see Jim in the flesh. Happy harvest Jim

[@cmc7106]

Your son is so fortunate to grow up in this family!!

[@lukesa7770]

On the topic of tiling that field. Not many around here(manitoba, about 5 hours north of you) tile, it's just starting to catch on. Alot around here use scraper and create ditches through the fields to drain.

[@lynwessel2471]

The old county tile mains were put in 100 years ago here in southern MN. Getting troublesome and replacing them will be EXPENSIVE.

[@John-Canada123]

Awesome 👍😎 It's thanks giving in Canada

[@lukefriesenhahn8186]

Glad to have a video from you today. 😊 Thanks Herr Johnson.

[@jerryfischer3988]

Thanks for the info on the camping and shooting spot. We'll see when we can come up and use it next year!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

7:51 Bosuns sling on a boom, like sailboats up the mast !

[@kerrypope767]

Bos'n

[@johnking8679]

With my inherent fear of heights there's NO ways I could climb your grain bins. I'm a retired Shell Oil employee from Zimbabwe and it was all I could do climb their fuel tanks for dipping !! At least their stairs curved around the tank and had a handrail !! NOT like your vertical ladder without side hand rail etc !! They're scary, but you don't seem to have a problem climbing them !! Good for you, Zach !! Been following your channel (off and on) for a couple years now !! So great to see your family from time-to-time - especially young Onyyx who is not only growing so fast but is also a BIG helper on your farm !! I'm sure both your Dad and wife are proud of his help, as well as that cute daughter of yours !! God Bless your entire family !!

[@Jaredstubeify]

18,603… in eight minutes! Damn fine work Johnson!

[@danherrmann8755]

Thanks for the ride. Busy day.

[@scottmcnabb-m6d]

Good to see Jim out there again missed seeing him around . Glad he’s there for harvest .

[@mikesmith4644]

7:45 that view though. Better than my office window. 😐

[@KevinScallions]

I like that chisel plow.

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@rosshall641]

Up here in southwestern Ontario usually what they do is they rent it for 10 years when they tile on the owner's property

[@mbillinois]

We patch minor holes in our leg system with an epoxy embedded with hard beads in it from S&S Urathane. Can be applied to the outside of the pipe.

[@Rusty.Shackleford1098]

6:12 that’s not a wrench that’s an adjustable hammer

[@brend10tv98]

Hey Zach! Would be cool if you could say what the day of the month it is when you start filming the video or if it could be stamped in the video somewhere. That way with the busy season we can see what day stuff is going on since the videos aren’t able to be uploaded same day. Those of us who follow you on social media see what you post daily. Would be nice to compare days and see progression. Keep up the good content. Thanks!

[@Broken_AK47]

i would like to work for ( and with ) someone like you. keep up the amazing work. watching since over a year now.

[@adamsandin]

love the dad puns 😂

[@jamesducey2685]

What a wonderful sharing by a grand ag crew. And there are plains gulls that fly in flocks as they migrate in autumn.

[@davidevans474]

Good memories for you and your son 😊

The Polaris is cool and the dogs love it to .

Love you guys. Thanks for the motivation 🤙😎🤙

Looking good! 💪 Up in Alberta, Canada. We got some lovely frost the other day. Oh, sad days. Lol

[@DL541]

Man I miss analog wide band radios... We had dual mode narrow band radios on the railroad I work for, we switched them over to analog which makes the transmission so much clearer.

[@joe12984jf]

For some reason the whole grain bin site and legs and everything are really interesting to me. Would there be any chance to have a video made of how everything flows and works??

[@kylejonesUB]

Holy kittens that new drier is huge!

[@DaelzGG]

22:23 we can just start calling them freshwater seagulls 😂

[@danielrichardson3613]

Jim should do radio or audio books. Cracking voice 👍

[@alanellis9158]

Nice to see your feeding the seagulls.

[@TravisSmith-cd6hk]

Really surprised you don't have a cam mounted on top of that setup where u was at thatd be cool to see you guys work your way back toward the farm on harvest!

[@garymorel6621]

There's nothing better than the fresh smell of turned soil in the spring.

[@raymondo162]

spring ??

[@jimpolk]

Beautiful view from the top Zach

[@davidwalters7757]

Love watching your family farm Zack!Ive been a subscriber or fan since I think almost day 1 of your videos!Im sure its lots of hard hard work but I always told myself if I ever had a chance to be a grain farmer I would!Im almost 50 years old now so maybe in my next life Zack!!!Hope you bring in a heck of a crop this year and years to come!!

[@MillennialFarmer]

Thank you!

[@FalconXE302]

Its quite amazing how wildlife like the seagulls learn they can get a good feed following the farm machinery... and not just any farm machinery.

[@steveoulman634]

Zach, your "seagulls" are most likely Franklin's gull, a species of gull common across the central part of the continent. They frequently follow farm equipment picking up insects disturbed by tilling, etc.

[@bjl1226]

You mentioned elevators. In my younger days, when I would climb the derrick on drilling rigs, we had a harness attached to a cable, which went uo to a pulley and had a counter weight on the other end. It was like climbing in zero gravity. You may want into look into it. Made it so easy and didn't burn you out by the time you got to the top.

[@lynwessel2471]

One of my neighbors made one years ago for his 90ft Harvestore silo.

[@heatheberhart5103]

Nothing better than seeing a young man turning dirt as the sun sets.

[@trentwatts4913]

Does your header have both choppers or just stalk Stomper’s on it

[@jonessmith2068]

That is some nice country you live in loved the view from the top!

[@Koontzy.]

Must be where the johnboat ran outta gas😂 just like the go kart😂

[@HardKor]

I was the sole vendor that stuck it out all day at the shooting park during the Lakes annual swap meet earlier this year :( .....it would be an awesome venue for a flea market if it was actually advertised correctly on social media....

[@McMinn1981]

Millennial farmer I would say your between the age of 42-44. Love your stuff been watching for years

[@nathancudaback5712]

I’ve ben watching you since you started. Love the info and educational content you bring. Keep up the great work Zack. I’m a sewer and water utility installer. Since I’ve been watching you I’ve realized that my equipment has bathrooms just like yours.😂

[@DougFritzler-z5h]

We are on our last half of circle of corn in Western Nebraska

[@steveneal2706]

Great video guys. Thank you very much

[@chuckbeam7898]

Hey MFarmer Border View out indicator lights on outside of bin to show how full it is. Maybe it’s something you would have interest in

[@sautry31]

Sometime will you explain how you choose what tillage equipment to use and what all the ones you have do?

[@mikerobertson2993]

Beautiful sunset

[@JackieDannenberg]

How cool is that to have Onyx helping. Seems like it was yesterday when you first let him drive those huge rigs. He’s going to be all grown up before you know it ! Amazing !

[@DannyMorrison5i8yrd]

Zack you have more courage that me mamma scared of those hights❤😊😊😊😊

[@dieseldoctor2221]

Great video Zach!!!

[@rustynail2205]

Tilling, plowing, or raking by the sea gulls can come from miles away. It’s like they hear the implement being booked up to the tractor.

[@TheJustin574]

One of my German shepherd's favorite plush toy is his hedgehog 🦔 lmao

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

What is your reason to have the peak up Zach? Put the peak down aka coring the bin, lessens the the fines and the air pressure resistance in the center of the bin were the fines are with most resistance?
