Great explanation on the corn from your father.

[@josr]

agreed!

[@Littleoeverything95]

I’d listen to just a podcast episode of him explaining different things or giving life stories

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

Guess that I'm not the only one that liked that. Yeah, he can add those tidbits of information that I should have known decades ago anytime that he wants. Probably an opportune time to do a show and tell on beans.

U definitely are 100% correct with ur statement. It’s also awesome how he has his son out there working along side with him and running those $100,000’s of thousands of dollars equipment. Good on him u don’t see that now again. Most kids have their phone up their ass!!!!

Good thing Jim is out there helping you. Nice to see back to working with you and your Dad.

[@robertshaver6410]

Man you have it so much easier changing cycle sections than when i learned we had rivet's to grind and punch out on every section that's a good improvement

[@Old-bold-pilot]

Out away from the barn we had a drill that looked like a hand cake mixer to drill the old rivet then hammer and buck the replacement rivet. Yep, I’m almost older than dirt.

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Yup real men changed rivets 😊. 60’s and 70’s technology was a pain in more ways than one.

[@markmarcenko5738]

We used a big hammer and a chisel. I hated changing sections as I would usually smash my hand once a day.

Hearing your old man talk about the milk line in the corn cobbs was some'n special for me. I have an admiration of listening to people that know what they're doing and learning from them. Its a generation slowly being lost.

[@danrobinson3699]

Been watching for years, I absolutely love your dad… never had that type of relationship

[@kingRJ-]

I can’t believe you bought this whole freaking set. A real farm with real farmers & a family just to have this tv show. Real dedication! Millions upon millions spent for this show. Love it!

Good to See everyone out prepping for harvest. Good lesson on corn maturity from Dad. I know local dairy guys just started chopping up here in the Pacific Northwest

[@tysonwildeboer42]

I absolutely loved your dad explaining the corn milk line and black layer stuff it applies to my university assignment actually

[@FarmGearInnovators]

It’s awesome seeing the whole family out working together-even Anna supervising! Looks like harvest is just around the corner! 🐾👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@jeffmcbride469]

Didn't realize I had been watching this channel as long as I have. But seeing Onyx grow up is a giveaway! Cool to see the team all together, including Jim.

[@eileenerickson1875]

Your dad is a good teacher, you should let him do more of that. His explanation was spot on even for an old farmers daughter.

[@ryaneick8864]

Really enjoy hearing and seeing your father talk a lil more to the viewers.

[@BigTader]

Great to See Jim helping out on the farm and your dad is just awesome. Stay safe.

[@adambecker5300]

As we all wish! Stay safe! Thanks for including the entire family!

[@jeremyshoemaker1058]

Zach ran a set of keys for truck,toolbox etc thru my combine after clean out some black night shade off the auger. When I fired it up I heard them hit the cylinder and few seconds later the chopper. Man I was bummed when I had to walk home that night. Seen the HARD AF in the fridge love that Drinking Bros podcast!!!!

[@Shadowfax2121]

What a great asset you have in your father, glad you two can work together!

[@txmarine82]

Keep up the excellent work. Season is right around the corner. How cool has it gotten up there so far this year? Texas is smoldering hot still. It hasn’t gotten the memo yet. Thanks Zach for making all these videos for us. I swear if u could get my paralyzed ass up into a tractor; I’d honestly work for free for as long as u needed me. I was pretty useless to the Marines but thanks again Zach. Love the videos and I’m not even a farmer or do anything like u do on this channel. Ur wittiness keeps me coming back

[@garyellison5218]

it makes for a great day to be able to work with your son and dad. im not gonna leave Jim out im so glad hes back we love him

[@thomasharrison899]

I'm really glad Jim is back. He's such a talented farm hand. :)

[@paulsmith4320]

FYI: I've had ball valves freeze and break in the space around the ball. I started leaving them 3/4 open when draining and storing.

[@danl6634]

I second this, did sprinkler blow outs for a few years & it was obvious when ball valves were left wide open instead of at 45*

[@godoftheinterwebz]

sounds painful

[@zebbe8691]

hey zach, im really struggling with my mental health at the moment, your videos help me alot.

[@jamesyachyshen7116]

My only comment when pulling off the inspection cover, my father would have a bird if he saw you break and extract the bolt completely as opposed to breaking them all first and then extracting them. Such a little detail, but when you’re young and impressionable it stays with you their whole life . Great video

[@stanbrow]

I am impressed that your bolt set included the bolt you needed. Those shoulder bolts are rare.

[@donmann8400]

Called flange bolt

[@wallyman292]

You saw the size of that rack, right?!?! I'd have been surprised had he NOT been able to find it!

[@fredvloo]

@@donmann8400 Or collar bolt. Not a shoulder bolt at all.

[@kracklebear]

Great wisdom from dad on the corn yield, great to see Jim onboard again with that chuckle of his... the racoon thing almost made me fall off the couch... lol good to see your dry humor vids coming out on a regular basis...

[@wallyman292]

Hope Zach at least asked them if they were OK afterwards! His "genuine" concern for all things dead always gets a laugh outa me! ;)

[@Massey2675]

I loved the informational commentary from your dad right in the beginning it was delivered perfectly

[@alhehn2101]

Great explanation on the corn moisture.. down here by Sioux Falls we have had no rain for 14 days at least and mid 80's temps. The locals are just starting beans.

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

Great seeing Jim out and about. Hoping for a good and safe harvest in the coming months. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Zack and Becky on editing and Dad and Jim and onyx. Got everyone working today. It was an interesting video and enjoyable to watch. And of course the two dogs, almost forgot them. Changing sickle bars on a bean header is a long and tedious task for sure , been there done that myself many times. Everyone was pitching in so the job got done in good time. Now is the time to check everything over before actually using the combine in the field. Good to see Jim helping out. He is looking good. Seems to have dropped some weight. Good for you Jim. Getting the spray trailer winterized is important to prevent water from freezing in the winter. RV antifreeze is the best to use. Dad did a great job with that. Another job done. Way to go Nate, dad. Looks like things are coming together for harvest season bring just around the corner. Way to go everyone. Thanks for the explanation on how the ears of corn get ready to harvest. Dad did a great job on that. Thanks for doing that Nate. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👍✅🙏💕🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@bradenconway9066]

I did all the sections on my 35ft macdon this year before harvest, was a full day job for just me doing it. But the header cut so much better this year. Went with course sections instead of fine and they last way longer in wheat, durum, peas, lentils and canola than the fine sections

[@jerryspangler6658]

Glad you got everything ready to harvest early , I see you are harvesting beans now , good harvest !

[@DarrylSparlin]

Love watching you guys work on your tractors and equipment. God Bless you for all your hard work. We love our farmers.

That big bolt and nut collection takes away the fun job of sorting nuts, bolts and screws in a cold barn during the winter.

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

Once again great video. It was great to see all three generations and Jim on the farm.

[@bradenconway9066]

One year when i was around 17 i was picking up swaths and i heard a bunch of banging in the old 1660, thought i picked up a rock bit turned out that i picked up a gooseneck pry bar that had fallen off of the tractor when dad went over the opening swath from out old versatile swather when he was swathing with our old 30ft pull type swather. The gooseneck was curved the same as the rotor and it came out the back of the combine and did no damage at all. Got lucky on that one. Since then we have gone all straight cut and have upgraded a pretty fair amount to a 7120 case and a 2188 case but we have picked up a fair amount more acres since then as well.

[@susangolden4001]

Your dad is cool. Thank you for sharing your life with us.J.Au-en

[@ANTHONY-h6w]

I would love to come help out for harvest. I only have a small farm less than 10 acres so honestly would love the opportunity to run a big combine and big high horse tractors instead of the tractors I have that are low horse, but still get the job done. Very thankful for them! Hope y’all are having a great day! I live in Arkansas

Standing in front of the bean header saying to yourself, “I probably shouldn’t jump up there”. I’m older than you. I’ve learned to listen to that little voice instead of the little voice that follows, “Aw it’ll be alright “. Nothing good comes from listening to that second little voice! That’s when I’ve most often hurt myself. 😂

One thing I kinda miss that you've done in previous years is periodic checks on how the crops are doing throughout the growing season. It's not like I have a clue where they should be at certain points in the Summer or anything, but I always found those updates interesting for some reason. Perhaps you can keep it in mind for next season! ;) ps: this came to mind after watching your dad explain where things were with the corn. . .

[@Wondering-ns2ce]

I use to like watching this channel also for the same reasons and was happy that I found a channel that focused on farming that left out swearing so my grandkids can watch with me, but I will have to stop watching now. Yes, I’m sure they hear it at school, but I also don’t have to let them watch shows that now include swear words and use God’s name in vain. I’m sure that appeals to some of your audience members, but for me, no thanks.

[@wallyman292]

@@Wondering-ns2ce What are you referring to? This channel has always been nothing but family friendly! That said, aren't you being a touch overly sensitive here??? With all this channel promotes (strong family ties, hard work ethics, helping your neighbors, supporting worthy causes, etc. etc. etc.), don't you think the positive messages your grandkids gain by watching far outweigh the single instance (or two) that you took offense to??? I think that's known as throwing out the baby with the bathwater there chief! I urge you to rethink your response to whatever you may have heard. No one is perfect. Including you. Should your grandkids be banned from spending time w/ you simply because you may have cussed once 40 years ago after hitting your thumb with a hammer? By your logic, that answer would be "yes". Think about it.

That big Sukup bin and new mix flow dryer in the background of you final shot is awesome. The key to running a successful business is investing into it. You have been dealt some serious set backs in the last few years. However you have also made some serious upgrades to replace what was lost. It really gives meaning to the slogan Build Back Better! When you look at all the work that YOU have accomplished on your farm It’s pretty amazing. So in the end it’s not who’s in charge at that top that determines your destiny! It’s you! I still would have taken that interview with Tim Waltz. He gets you and JD doesn’t even know who you are. Funny how saying no because of a political party can work against you. Can you imagine if you said yes and later been given a seat at the policy table for doing so?😊 I have been a long time fan and a subscriber since you were in the hundreds.
