The Most Interesting Farm Tour I've Ever Done!

[@alextaylor5234]

I’m a custom silage harvester and the 19mm is the cut length. The distance from the knives and shear bar don’t change because you want them tight for a clean cut. What dose change is the feed roll speed, and that is what forces the crop into the knives. Slower feed roll speed shorter cut, faster the speed longer the cut. Cool to see how it’s done in other parts of the country!

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Was just going to post this. Its effectively the length of material fed into the drum from the feed rollers(compression rollers) before a knife passes it.

[@MikeKow80]

"Maybe it's a goat egg" Might be the funniest thing I've ever heard, the delivery was so flawless.

[@edkern0749]

Another awesome video. I’ve worked for a company where we hauled waste fruits & veggies into digesters in a less rural location and a farm in south GA. Scientists are working more and more on how to recycle one byproduct into another product and so on. Jokingly they are using everything from the cow except the moo, and they are working on that. Thanks all.

[@schnellguitars6128]

Mrs. Millennial Farmer: "You can tell it's a canyon because of the way that it is," is the best line of the video.

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Thank you, Zach!! This was sooo interesting! You are more than welcome to come visit our farm in Kansas!🥰 We milk 3 cows!🤣 Ilsa could even milk a cow and a goat, feed bottle lambs, goats, and calves! 😁 What a fun learning experience for your children and US of course! We LOVE following along with you! Thank you for being a farm advocate, Zach! I am fourteen and I have a farm KZbin channel too! Someday I hope to reach as many people as you do! Blessings to you!

[@ecleveland1]

The education your kids are getting through visiting all of these different farming operations is priceless. Shaping young minds about how our food is produced and the work that goes into it is so important.

[@ColeMcConnell]

As a non-farmer and rancher, this was amazing! Thank you for the tour!

[@chrisfekete1789]

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen thank you to all the farmers out there and may god bless each and every one of them

[@darwinfranzen7043]

Zach, I have enjoyed your videos for several years, but you have killed it with this one. Best ever. I'm a retired Coop Manager and have retired back on our northeast Nebraska family farm. Keep up the great work.

[@teresamason3930]

Wow! The brains and engineers of this whole operation is a true miracle! This is unbelievable! Thank you so much for the tour! I love milk and beef so this was really amazing to me. What I loved the most was those children talking about those cow farts 🤣! It’s awesome to see our little future brains at work! I would have loved to see a close up of some baby calves 😊! Great tour! Thank you!

[@samthibeault5649]

The part with Onyx asking if it's like the ladies selling their farts online made me laugh so much lmao

[@masonjordan8772]

that creaked me up lol

[@chugiakff]

That was awesome

[@SK_2019]

[@admranger]

Love the digester. Great use of a "waste" product. Appreciated the water discussion considering how dry we are out west.

[@FatherWaffle]

I absolutely LOVE when the non farmer finds out that cows, not only enjoy, but look forward to being milked! A day at the spa for these heifers!

[@jamieg2290]

I am a dairy farmer in New Zealand. Love seeing how different countries farm dairy cows!

[@alanwoods2010]

The efficiency of the dairy is amazing - everything is used, nothing goes to waste.

[@MrDeny105]

I have 75 dairy cows (which is still many in my region) and this video is breathtaking! Thank you for the tour!

[@dennispalmer6007]

Very interesting indeed. I am retired now but I was a tour bus driver out of Ontario, Canada. I have driven by these huge dairy operations in New Mexico, Arizona, and California but never had the chance to actually visit. Most of them aren’t on land that has irrigation so they buy all the food for the cows. I also liked how he explained the pens for the young calf’s being like a child’s crib. That should stop the well meaning people that think farmers are treating their animals poorly from condemning without education

[@magpie5710]

This year's tours cannot be beat. You peeps are blowing it up. Really interesting and educational for young and old alike. Always good to have Trevor along with the team.

[@frombryant6678]

Great video. That's a heck of a operation! Zack, you are such a great dad. I enjoy how you interact with your kids.

[@chaddhatlevig1496]

So interesting. Farming has changed a lot in the last 30 years. Thanks for sharing!

[@jtzr1]

I love these types of videos. It explains where our food comes from.. Thanks Zach..

[@wayneullman5079]

The dairy farm sure is different from when I was a kid. I remember the cows coming in and going to the same station. As he said ‘Creatures of habit’

[@davidschlecht3016]

Great video showing so many different farming methods, the public should be aware of the great work and responsibility that the great American farmers are providing to our economy.

[@maxinerose6664]

Zach, this is one of the most interesting videos you have done. I’m an old dairy farm girl. Thanks

[@golfmaniac]

Thank you for the time and effort put in to these videos. This is fascinating, I have never seen a dairy farm with all this going on, or even knew that one even existed. The cost to bring it into existence has to be staggering, also the cost to operate it.

[@Q2bFF]

As a waste water technician I appreciate the process of the anaerobic digester and covered lagoon.

[@Craftmaster37]

Well done Zack! The science is simply amazing at that dairy farm! Thanks for the tour and the education you bring can't wait to see you start working your farm.

[@meatheadirons1867]

Zack after being raised on a dairy farm in wv that has got to be the very best dairy I've ever seen would love to have a look at it we used to milk 250 head with 4 milkers 2 times a day its really hard to believe they do what they do and converting manure to methane brilliance and to think everyone in California when they cook with gas can you only imagine what they would say if they found out it was manure keep up the great video and please go buy a horse for your daughter

[@denisricher1349]

This video needs to be shared with AOC seeing that she is so against methane... You can't get much greener than this.... Great Tour Guys

[@thedonleroy]

,Looks like quite the operation. There are 2 huge dairies west of me. One is 9500 head & the other is 11,000 head. They use the rotating milking system I think. When the 9500 head dairy was built they said it cost $50,000.000 to build. They even have an apartment building for the workers.

[@toddbehrends1373]

This was one of the most interesting videos that you have put out. It is amazing how the dairy farmer is using the byproducts of his farm to help the environment. Sounds like he has done his homework. Would like to get one of those Bales hats. They are sharp looking.

[@normnielsen]

Trevor is YT gold. I've been catching up on his videos. Thanks for introducing him to me (us)!!

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

The best comment someone has left about me! Thank you.

[@b12jared]

I love the sounds of the birds near a desert dairy in the wintertime. We farmed AZ for the last 5 generations to include dairies, alfalfa, cotton, and pecans. Love the video.

[@marshalsullivan1311]

Man I just love seeing so much advancement of farming. Weather it crops or animals it amazes me how much goes into the process of farming today. Thanks for all this new information you are sharing. I wish when I was in ag class and learning about farming that you tube would have been around. Keep up the great work and videos zack

[@derrickpettit3489]

Man that dairy farm is impressive, would have been awesome to see an aerial view of the place, man they have got it set up for efficiency, the gas part is freaking awesome, thanks for sharing,best one video yet

[@daniellebuehner8441]

wow I never seen a dairy operation like that.. I was raised on a dairy farm a small one about 120 to 160 head of cows.. but using the by products of the cows. and recycling it it pretty darn cool.. I wish more dairies were like this one.. this is phenomenal.

[@seanmoynihan7471]

They will be its catching on every where, there are dairy farms now supplying electricity to villages in areas where no wind mills are allowed

[@chichard86]

This is an awesome video and it is amazing to see what takes place at a dairy. It is good to see them capturing and reusing resources instead of letting them go to waste.

[@georgesherman5345]

I've lived in Phoenix for over 60 years. I know that location well. Years ago we used to hunt mournng doves out there, in the fall. They have a HUGE hay sales operation, also.

[@robburnett8329]

Love the friendship and respect you guys have for one another.

[@2020Tundra]

My grandfather and then my dad ran a Holstein dairy a long time ago, but it was nothing like the one you guys toured. Pretty dang awesome!!

[@waterskiingfool]

That was a great tour. Liked seeing the air sprayers. Looked like the whole family had a good time

[@pollyp2127]

That was a great episode Zac, thanks. As an Australian farmer, the scale of that dairy and its integrated enterprise is awesome- thanks for sharing it.

[@Howie-wd5oc]

That was interesting. Dairy farming on a whole different level than the small family farm I'm familiar with. Thanks for bringing us along on the tour.

[@Mississippi-xj7rq]

What the hell zac or Becky! You got to start giving a warning on the laugh factor before it happens. Just had to mop the kitchen floor from blowing coffee out my nose and ears after Onyx said do they sale the farts online like those ladies do? My wife told me about seeing that online and of course out of pure curiosity I had to check it out!!! That’s what I call true family TV. Real is real!! Looked like you where in a canyon Becky. Love it guys!!!

[@jasonmeyer1327]

This is by far the most interesting farm tour you’ve done. Loved it! Keep ‘Em coming!!!

[@jamesducey2685]

This is a grand presentation of the most important work of America ... go agriculture.

[@rooster72886]

That's definitely a big boy dairy setup forsure loved the content keep em coming

[@rnedisc]

Hey Zack/Becky, keeping in the spirit of touring different farms and learning from eachother... I'd love to make a suggestion. Maybe at some point in the future you guys could set up a colab with the guy from "Crime pays but botany doesn't". He's a really cool and really smart self taught botanist. He's probably mostly against racing around big motorized vehicles across beautifull natural areas but I think ya'll could learn a lot from eachother. His enthausiasm about botany is really contageous. I bet he has some vast and invaluable knowledge about the native plant life of minesota and effects of water management/herbicides on the ecology of the region. Or might give some extra insight into the ecological areas you guys maintain (natural wetland areas if I remember correctly?). Might be a cool contrast to the constant agricultural based plants. Thanks for all the awesome videos!!

[@cherylcarlson3315]

Ilsa has the touch, hope she gets her own pony soon. The dairy farm made me so happy!! he seems to have closed all the loops!!So happy to hear about water recovery systems and reuse. Digester system on the farm is awesome. Does he sell his composted manure? Having had crop duster flying low over my house and dairy goat herd , wonder if that frquent exposure is what has lead to this pesking neuromuscular disease. Those chemicals are nowhere near benign .Well done video.

[@wssides]

With all those cows to feed I expect his compost goes on the hayfields. Unless the pricing works better to sell the compost and buy fertilizer!

[@jackblair8935]

Great video…the complexity of the dairy operation was unbelievable and it runs like clockwork.

[@robertdufresne5729]

Thanks for the interesting farm visits this year , they were all very educational and this milk farm was amazing

[@stevekissel605]

I'm from Yuma. 100 miles away same crops and mountain views. Love it.

[@teespoon1750]

Great video Zach! I'm always amazed at these large dairies and how they operate! I milked 100 cows in a freestall with a double five parlor, kind of pales in comparison!! Crop dusters were interesting too! I hope you bought Isla that horse!! 😊😊

[@fielddaves2279]

Thanks for the tour of the milking the cow's operations. Totally awesome. Field In Michigan

[@05xlt]

1. A farm near us has a similar milking operation, but the cows walk on to a giant carousel. They’re milked in one revolution and exit, it’s pretty cool to watch. 2. Idk why anyone would downgrade from a Cleveland Steamer. Those are the steamiest steamer that ever steamed! 😂 3. Onyx wins this one with fart in a jar comment. The looks on everyone’s faces was priceless! 😂😂😂 4. Love the Neature Walk references!

[@chrismarlatt6518]

That was an amazing dairy setup. It's pretty sweet that you get to do things like that. Even better that you choose to share and inform us. Thanks for the video
