CJ Sachs died from the injuries he sustained in an accident while driving his Allis Chalmers 8050. So this video is sitting down with his parents and best friend and looking at the farm that is home.
One of your best videos makes you think and rethink some not so smart things we have done and how drastic it could have turned out. Bless his family his friends and you. Life is so short as it is at 75 now I wonder often were did it all go so quick.
Sorry to hear about CJ. Thank you for finding the strength to share his story. He was a amazing young man, from a wonderful family...God's speed. Pat from northwest WI
Like you mentioned Ryan, young people who wanna dairy are very rare, both are very special people. Very Sorry for this loss, shed a tear, and I never met the young man. Nice of his friend to help you with this week’s interview-thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the nice video Ryan. It was heartbreaking but told the story of a very fine young farmer. My prayers and sympathy to this young farmers family and his best friend he milked and farmed with. My blessings to all of them. Ryan thanks for talking to this family so they could tell the story of their son. Bless them for doing this. Thanks for talking about farm safety. So important. Ryan you did a fine job with this video and the situation. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 🙏🙏💕💕🇺🇸
Wow, Ryan very powerful article. CJ‘s parents are some tough people to be able to sit down and do this article. My heart breaks for them. They’re only son. Prayers to everyone.
He was a great kid, wicked knowledgeable with Allis Chalmers. We talked on Facebook some and he had made the comment of how happy he was that you came to the farm this summer and talked tractors
Omg... what a huge loss. As I watch this it just progressively gets horrible loss. Is there any family member to continue the farm going forward? This country needs young small farmers.
What a terrible loss. When I was 11, on February 7, 1983 my best friend was killed taking a manure spreader down an icy hill. The tractor jack knifed and rolled over on top of him. He was my first exposure to dairying when we were kids. I guess if there was any good to come out of its, I knew from that point on that farming was a dangerous occupation. The cattle and the equipment needed to be respected. But even when you're doing things right, things can still go wrong. Looks like there is another young man there who would sure appreciate the opportunity to be a permanent fixture there.
I have seen some stupid things when I've been on the road with farm equipment from people in a hurry. I guess l always did feel pretty safe on a tractor and it never really sank in just what could happen until now. I'm sorry for the family's loss. I never will forget this story and you can be sure l will be thinking of CJ every time my son or l is on the road with a tractor.
That's horrible, people on the roads don't care about our farmers. I was rear ended by a pickup truck while in a Bobcat 883. Feel lucky I walked away with hardly a scratch.
July 6 2016 a good friend of mine was rear ended buy a semi that had the cruise set never touched the brakes he was killed on impact it has gotten so bad around here we have to out fit all our vehicles with extra strobes and have to get escort everywhere
One of yong farmers got killed in 2010 by dryer when he went inside to lube a chain in it when it was still spining. Note u dont lube that chain never ever only replace when it break it was upright dryer. His dad still farm. But couse of death was he got knocked by mixer in it nad got instantly killed
