I am the city boy from California that blows into northern Iowa every other year for two weeks to "help" with the family farms and the harvest. Run the combines, do some tillage, drink some beer, and fly back to CA. Your videos bring a new appreciation to me and all non-farmers as to what all farmers go through. If my dad were still alive, the stories of the past and amazement going from the Farmall B (which cousin had restored) and threshers to what you show would astound him. Blessing to all.

@MillennialFarmer 4 года назад

That's awesome! Thank you for watching! I'll bet you enjoy flying back to IA and helping out every year?

My 5-yo and I have been watching you for about a month now and I'm finally getting John Deere ads on the internet. Wish I had more than 0.68 acres. I did buy a Deere x350 to manage the land I do have. When I was thinking about buying it my wife said "You know there will be disappointment if you come home with anything other than green and yellow." Zach, wish you could have got the commission!!!

@rodjohnson2938 4 года назад

loved the last comment, "I miss the combine already". Only a farmer would understand. You work long hours for weeks, pushing for the end. Great days, frustrating days, long days. Will we get it out, will we get a decent yield, will anything else break. Focus, focus, focus. Then suddenly, its over. Kind of feel lost for a day or so.

@dewbee8752 4 года назад

I love watching your videos! I'm the Mom of three young millennials (29 - 33) and am so impressed with how hard you work and your wonderful sense of humor. When I watch you I think about how much I loved visiting my grandad on his farm (he was born in 1889). He would be so amazed with all of your equipment and the fact that you're still out havesting in the middle of the night. I also think about my older son the Army officer who is currently deployed and the hours he puts in, the danger and the really expensive equipment he deals with. I think you two are probably much alike. I imagine you knew you would work with your Dad when you were a kid. My son decided he wanted to go to West Point when he was 10 and darned if he didn't. You're both doing dangerous jobs and I thank you for it. You're part of a great American family. Hope you can relax now that the harvest is almost wrapped up.

I have always cut the strings on my hoodies as well . Grandpa told us about a guy who was caught in a lathe by strings on a hoodie that man was almost strangled when another worker saved him . We run a landoll vertical tillage tool that is 35 feet wide behind our 9560rt. It works great on corn stalks. We try to do long term notill but we still do tillage on heavy soils and we run a tillage schedule of every 4 years. a field gets tillage every year if we plant corn on corn. Nice video glad to see that your family got all of the crops in stay safe !

@davidcurran3443 4 года назад

A quiet day at the Fire Station has allowed me time to watch the last year of your video's. In the one from early spring this year, you spend the day dragging a battery charger around jump starting everything and wondering why the batteries are always dead. I maybe have a theory, It could be a combination of cold weather and the 2 way radios in the vehicles. Even though the display turns off when you shut off the ignition, The radio still draws power to maintain the radio program memory. Not a big deal when the weather is warm but in cold weather with the normal draw from the cold, the radio draw down just seems to happen quicker. We have to keep any vehicles at the station that are parked outside on shore power the help keep this from happening. Another way of helping it would be to put a Battery Isolator between the battery the radio power is connected to and the rest so the radio only draws one down instead of all of them. The video's are great. They are very informative and you are a good instructor. Enjoy your "off season"

we use the discs almost only after grain or grass, it does a really good job at cutting it into slices and mostly we drive it in two ways so we have little squares. For other tillage we prefer a deep bender.

Disc tillage is used allot around here, major compaction problems now because if it. That's where vert tillage works better.

As a non farmer I love watching the videos and the information gained from them. Without giving more information then you are comfortable with could you provide some approx costs for some of the equipment and supplies you are using? You wrote a seed check what does it cost, you needed new tillage points what does that set you back, your combine was how much! I think this information would make us non farmers gasp at the expenditures and the business aspects of farming. Thanks to all,

@johomerza 4 года назад

So Zach vertical tillage is great.......but, there are some things you need to know about it. From my experience vertical has its place. My experience is with a green and a red implement, but not the green that you are familiar with. Fall vert tillage is much better than spring vert tillage. Watch what happens to your soil though, heavy rains will move that, what we call fluff, and it will move easily during heavy rains. You will lose soil on hillsides and valleys. Spring vert tillage doesn't do that as much. It almost seems as if the fall fluff, seperates during freeze situations from the undisturbed ground underneath it. This we experienced with the red vert tillage machine. Acts the same as your demo green demo, except ours didn't adjust angle just depth. The green implement, not your green, that I have used seemed to do a better job of sizing residue and opening the soil to warm up, but didn't create as much fluff. I hear from others the Salford style is the cat's meow, but have no real world experience with operation or field condition observations during the season changes. Just my 2$ of things to watch out for.
