I am a 5th generation family farmer from West-Central Minnesota. The recent interest in food, combined with a large amount of 'misinformation' has driven me to start this channel. I hope to be someone people can relate to and trust when they question how their food is grown and raised. I also hope to become a 'smarter' farmer through my experiences with this channel. I strongly believe we must have an open mind and a willingness to learn about others, or we cannot move forward as one. My goal is to build the connection between farmers and consumers by facilitating a collaborative conversation amongst everyone. I do this by sharing my day-to-day farming experiences, my opinions on certain topics, and occasionally visiting other farms and businesses to help better understand other farming and business practices. There is no limit to where this channel may go, so please join me!!

And you're spot on, mowing seems to be oddly comforting and satisfying...I think it's because the results are immediately visible...

I'm proud that you are being such a great spokesperson for American agriculture. You have a way of explaining things that I can't. Thank you for what you are doing! Can't wait for more!

[@souravmahanty7025]

[@jdaxelmarine8439]

That is just too cute

[@Brett33]

I was thinking the same thing. What a lucky girl.

[@lukusgray1031]

I noticed the same thing with our radishes also. It's amazing how well they work for breaking up compaction.

[@chaserwin7565]

My dad picked me up in a 4 wheel old JD sprayer for tobacco then we went to spray. I forgot what model it was.

Pretty nice new mower! My favorite parts were you picking up your daughter from preschool and giving her flowers! It’s great to see families spend time together no matter what they are doing.

[@jacobcourtney6029]

Looks like y'all might have a good year. lucky

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

[@rocktruggy03]

Holy moly Isla is adorable. Good job dad.

[@thats_my_comment]

She's so sweet good love her heart reminds me of my 3 beautiful nieces. Nothing more relaxing than running a batwing mower in a cab tractor.

Your little girl is so adorably cute! And you’re such a sweet father to her! I love that you picked her up from preschool with your tractor. And I bet it didn’t seem unusual to anyone seeing it!!

[@rapturebound197]

Being a daddy is the best job you'll ever have Zach. Enjoy every minute because before you know it they're all grown up and gone. You're a good daddy son...the world needs more of those! God bless.

[@GEOsustainable]

With so many farmers selling to developers it is wonderful to hear you are opening new ground.

[@jasonprocai1020]

Can't wait for those videos, love this time of year.

[@benbonderson3731]

Great video once again. I look forward to watching your harvest videos!

[@HollyandArty]

Just wanna say thank you for all the hard work you farmers do to provide for everyone

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

Sunday September 15 just drove through MN on highway 23 from SD I think some one turned the corn dryer on. 90 degrees and windy. We have been having some good crop drying weather. Good luck on the harvest.

[@stanleyjones4180]

looking good zak thanks for the video

[@tjherlihy2341]

Awesome to see your little one out in the field with you. Even if she decides to go into a different direction, career wise, she will always remember these times I’m sure! Keep up the awesome work both in the field and with the family.

[@richardm1631]

Aww that's so cute daddy and his daughter doing some farm work 😊😊

[@charliekimong]

Aweee bless her heart. Made my day seeing a little len happy on a farm whilst being loved by her dad! Great videos as always Sir, I and a few of my mates love your channel and watch you frequently and will continue to do so. Many thanks, Charlie Ong.

[@dhansel4835]

I remember not that long ago we had a feed store in our town, Yoakum Gin and Feed. They had a corn mill that was used to make fresh corn meal. Mr. Tommy owned the company and had a corn meal grinder in his store. It had two round stones that ground human quality corn into corn meal. He would sell it for about .30 cents a pound. When I got back to my home town I would stop and get about 25-30lbs of fresh ground corn meal. It was course ground and very moist. It sure made some great home made corn bread. Since then Mr. Tommy passed away and the business turned into a modern farm & ranch store. I often wonder where is there a gin that you could buy freshly ground corn meal.

[@ryan.t.pierce]

This is the first video I watched on this channel and I've been hooked since. Great content! I love the insider view and information on farming. 11/10

[@joestewart7487]

thanks for being a great Dad!

[@ericchandler90]

This reminds me of our senior prank that turned into a yearly tradition at my high school. We decided it would be cool to drive to school in various agricultural equipment. 2018 marks the 10th year anniversary in fact. The highschool thought it was cool too, however they did set some ground rules. No combines, no high crops, semis can't have trailers, tractors can't have implements attached, and no dual wheeled tractors.

[@darabradley5173]

Eric Chandler cool

[@nicholasdowns3502]

Eric Chandler, we have a drive your tractor to school day, our rules are no hauling implements, but 3 point hitch ones are fine. And the tractor must be able to start and drive slow enough in the parade. No lawn tractors, and only tractors.

[@militant_homesteader]

My school has a bring a tractor to school day, last year my pal brought their nice new Deere combine

[@stevenevanski7028]

thank you it reminded me of my daughter when she was young 30. year's ago

You sir are one of the coolest Farmers I've ever scene on KZbin you care for your family you spend time with your daughter picking corn and getting picked up in a tractor that is so cute that's priceless Memories. I live in Minnesota Minnesota weather is tough some days with the snow and the rain but somehow watching your videos you just keep pushing through thank you for what you do out there feeding us Americans.

[@matthewitt70]

Im glad to see that you take time to be a father as busy as you are!! These days thats rare tech. Has split famlies apart. Keep up the good work.

[@dickystipper4887]

AAAH YES! The good life. Good values...great people!

[@edspencer7121]

Just subbed your channel👍 I'm only on 5 acres but I do brush hog it. Just purchased a new brush mower this year, a 6 ft Walco powered up with a 1957 John Deer 420w also put a 6 ft finish mower on 3 point for the main yard. One of the more enjoyable things I do around the place. Good video, love how you get your daughter involved 😎

[@ivograncharov7771]

Nice video, i'm excited about next one

[@Setupjustsoicancomme]

Oddly satisfying is right, I mow roads and it’s always a blast to mow 6 foot tall weeds and look behind you at a nice clean right off way 😁

[@rustynail2205]

We have a larger cutter very similar to yours. We keep our equipment very clean like you do. The best way to keep it clean is use leaf blower before it gets rained on. By doing that we never have to wash it.

[@wbball15]

Great video, Zach. Good job taking advantage of time with your kids. Especially nowadays.

[@catpartsforyou]

Loved the comment about the butterfly and the GMO corn!

[@chriswoj3]

HARVEST MODE ENGAGED! I can't wait :)

[@Marpurrsa]

your daughter is absolutely precious and adorable, im usually not a person to find kids cute but she's an angel for sure

[@josephmilbrandt5322]

I’m bing watching and trying to catch up with your first videos. Just want you to know I enjoy seeing your operation and your family. Great job with both.

[@JDT-tk5fu]

You picking your daughter up from school in the tractor was pretty cool to see. BTW if it were me I would move one of the two wheel and hub set ups from the wing to the center section of the shredder so that you have four total in the middle and one on each wing. The reason I say this is because when the wings are up all the weight is on the tires and components on the center section.

[@absoldati]

Your daughter reminds me of my daughter when we grow corn. She loves being the corn fields and our pumpkin field. Seeing their smiles being out there is priceless in my opinion. No matter what it is that I’m doing on the tractors, my kids practically fight for a ride on the tractor even if I’m just getting fuel lol.

[@3535gt]

I know it’s not solely the reason you show interaction with your little girl, but keep it up. You’re doing a great job of being a present dad. Not a checked out Dad. There’s a lot of boys that grow up to be dads that don’t have or never had a good example of being a dad. Time with your children is priceless. They’re your legacy. God bless from South Texas.

[@james-tj1dd]

@@underground8346I made $45/hr in Ohio as a lineman. There were certainly closer options to your kids than you chose. That's beside the point. This isnt the forum to stand on your soap box.

[@marshalllanier360]

She is a doll for sure. Enjoy every second with her that you can. She will be grown and gone before you know it.

[@redactedrider7606]

Got picked up in a big green tractor, mowing radishes, and bringing home corn to mom... That's a future farmer if I've ever seen one.

[@robertreznik9330]

Nice looking 90-100 day corn. The farmer's daughter knows how to pick a big one. We stopped growing dent corn many years ago. The cattle feeders like high test weight of flint types that have long starch fill period. If our Summer days were like yours, we would be in heaven but could not grow high yield corn and cotton or is that Heaven! We have to spray cotton with regulators to keep down it size and stop new fruiting.

[@Formulabruce]

She Will remember the Flowers from Daddy ! I like radishes, but have never grown any like yours .

[@kladpapier]

You monster, you are breaking the flowers ! xD Very cute daughter, I wish I grew up on a farm.

[@MistressOP]

That GMO corn line gave me a giggle. At the same time, we don't have GMO corn for a few miles near us lately. (along with really aggressive spray laws) We got a lot of mason bees, butterflies, and all kinda pollinators these days we haven't had for years. Since I was a little kid. It took 3 years to recover.

[@jimmygrussing3997]

What a good helper you have 😀😁😀

[@bryanjjones4163]

[@amandak3198]

I've got just the 3 point pto mower and love doing the pastures, its relaxing. I'd like to get a finishing mower, as well. The brush hog is nice for when you hit a buried stump, though.

[@JasonTate86]

"Your breaking the flowers" Kids are great. 😂
