Precision Milling with Jim 

Men like Jim are invaluable, we need more men like him.

Jim is a national treasure this country needs more like him

We need more of Jim. Jim reminds me so much of my grandfather it’s crazy. Jim is always just like calm and rolls with ever is thrown at him. I am sure it’s a little different when the camera is not on him. He is one of those men that you want to be around and learn something from every day.

Jim would make coming to work a pure joy

Your Dad and Jim are real men. This country used to value men like them. We need to get back to those days, and need more men like them. 🇺🇲

When I farmed with my grandpa, he hired his neighbor that lived on the backside of his 80 that we farmed. Jim was a retired lineman, and actually about the same caliber of your Jim. There’s wasn’t much that our Jim didn’t know. When I helped my grandpa I was in college and since we worked 6 days a week Saturdays would he sometimes rough none the less from Friday night partying. Jim always made sure to bring either me, another guy that helped us that was the same age, or BOTH of us along on one of the hottest jobs you could think of in late July Missouri. Our Jim would never say a word about our “impairments” on Saturday mornings, but would often chuckle at the first one of us that had to go around the field to vomit… man I miss those days AND Jim!

Jim seems like such an asset to the farm, so much knowledge and not afraid to get his hands dirty!

Doing that drilling without eye protection Zack could be a terrible nightmare…especially as you found out shavings were “hot potatoes”. Gotta think safety every now and then sir! Take care and “farm on!”

Never underestimate good help like Jim. Also...never underestimate cutting oil when you're drilling. ;) And a good pair of gloves.

I just love watching Zach and his dad working together. You can just see how many hours they have worked together and the communication they have without saying anything!

Zach you and Jim working together to fix the crank on the trailer is a joy to watch.😂 maybe not for you but it is for us. It's also a learning experience for your viewers as well.😊😊 Oh and congratulations on the win.

Jims never scared to get stuck in and dirty doing all sorts of jobs, you would be at a loss without him!

I’m so glad we are able to run center pivots, don’t have to worry like we used to for rain

The tip on your smoke wrench is leaking. It’s not seated correctly in the head and the popping is a fire burning in the head of the torch. Might just need to be snuggled down a bit tighter but would certainly get it straightened out so it can’t burn back up the lines to the regulators. Not real likely it will but still could. Great videos and I love seeing the adaptivness of a farmer

Jims laugh is the best! 😂

I love Jim!! He’s one of the nicest, hardest workin fellas around! Love his sense of humor!

Jim is a real asset! ❤

Jim sure brings a lot to the table. Hoping your corn and beans keep looking good!

Three comments: Love your channel and what you do. Jim is a blessing from heaven and never forget that his experience is priceless. Finally, from an old man that always learns the hard way, wear eye protection when drilling under heavy equipment.

Zach Jim is such a great old boy. I hope too be like Jim one day. “Where’s your gloves bud”

Hell Yeah Brother,,, Cleeter just announced the Bristol drivers,,, cant wait...

Jim for President 2024!

Love to see Jim in more videos!! Always appreciate the humor!!

I'm sure you know how blessed you are to be able to have several shops with the equipment needed to do the repairs. Yet there's nothing like having an invaluable and experienced friends like Jim. I was wondering if having some bee boxes scattered about the fields would help for pollination? Thanks for all you do for us and may you all be abundantly blessed with all that's good

Jim is an indisputable stud. Badly burned by a broken drill bit? He's laughing and readying an all-time joke. I was lucky enough to grow up with a few Jims and you couldn't help but be who you are without them.

Zach Johnson.... farmer by day, awesome race car driver by night! Great video! Jim is an AMAZING fellow and a right hand man extraordinaire! Catdog is just plain cool! Anna and Didge can hold their own and they make each video a little bit more fun to watch! Until your next video ~~~Stay safe, healthy and happy!

Jim’s and Zach’s dad are wise sages, whose wisdom is derived from experience and acquired knowledge….

Good to see you fixed the trailer before you traded it in most wouldn't.

I will keep asking 😊 Really, really hope you guys will make more Off the Husk podcasts. We need more Mrs. and Mr. Millennial Farmer and Master Pipe Layer Randy 🎉

Jim is always always laughing. Such a good man 😊

Glad I didn’t know you were selling grain trailers. I keep wanting one. 18:45 gloves are nice. EYE protection is needed. I wear eye protection almost 100% of time farming unless in truck, tractor. I have been to Dr. to have stuff removed from my eyes in my youth. It’s funny it LOOKS like Jim started with sand paper, then moved to angle grinder to finish up.

I've said this over & over... Jim is such a pleasure to watch on so many levels. Great video Zach, and congrats on your face.

Corn leaves twisting..... Winter radish and winter turnups to open the hard pan so the corn and soy beans can reach water ... Add your legumes and 8 - 10 other fall/winter species.... Let the plants do the work for you

Great job helping Zach Jim

" The drill bit got shorter", possibly the greatest reaction ever to a broken drill bit 😂

Jim's range of knowledge is 2nd to none..... valuable hired hand. Need more of those....

Good thing Jim was their and bye the way congratulations on the win

You are lucky to have good help like Jim

Just wanted to say thanks, I am 71 and grew up in Wisconsin, but my Dad grew up in Minnesota, his family were farmers in and around Faribault and Morristown, his Dad lived to be 103. Great memories of my visits to the Uncles farms,, thanks again..

OLD SCHOOL WINS....OLD SCHOOL WINS.... JIM GETS THE BONUS.

Farming has always been very physical! I remember old farmers pushing their 60’s and 70’s doing hard labor when I was in my teens and twenties.

I love when Jim shows up and his laugh kill me

@Zac, the drill bit you showed near the 19:30 ish time, as someone who retired from being a tool sharpener, you are correct, that drill can be resharpened so it could be used again, at least as a stub drill making pilot holes for 'longer' drills.

It's always fun working with people like Jim, it makes a tough job more fun lol

Zach...where's your safety glasses? 😂

Really enjoyed this video. I agree with the comments about how much of a asset he is. You should do a video interviewing Jim would love to hear his stories!

Need a grain spreader in the bin. Mixes pods in whole bin , no wads to plug sumps. Saw some gravity powered, that looked slick.

Before you dirty up the new trailers get some fancy May West poly plates 👍🏻

Great video Zach

We kept on getting alerts from our SimplySafe in our home. When we checked the camera there was nothing (one of those wireless indoor cameras). Then we turned off the light and watch the video in another room. It was our cat grabby and licking the camera!!

It is Jim.... *Instant like*

Congratulations on the race!!🎉🎉❤❤

you uploaded 1h ago and i have it 23.20pm😅 good night from Germany🇩🇪

We like it when Zach needs to ask Jim for advice. A lifetime of farming is a lot of knowledge.

When the drill bit broke and Jim said damnit, I felt that in my soul. Has happened one to many times for me!

Always love seeing Jim! He reminds me of my grandpa.

Nice to see jim again.

Jim video, firewood can wait.

Jim for President 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎

Love your videos Jim and your dad

Glad to see jim back

CAT-DOG is too cool !!!!!

I recognize the label on those meat sticks. Made about 15 miles south of our farm in Holstein, IA.

The world needs more guys like Jim. And additional cat dog wouldn't hurt either

Jim is really handy to have around. Every farm really needs a “Jim”. Lots of knowledge available if needed. Not pushing Available when needed!!!😊

Good to see that your cat understand your language he respond to you instantly ! Lol !

I love Jim. He reminds me of my dad. A guy who worked with his hands his whole life. A wealth of knowledge and don't ever doubt, strong as a mule.

Man i cant wait for your farm to come to Farming Simulator 22

Dude, you’re on your back under that trailer. Metal, dust, old grain or other debris could get in your eyes. Both you and Jim need to wear safety glasses when doing that work. Protect your eyes at all times.

Forgot to add congratulations on the win

It's always a good day when Jim shows up to help out

Funny thing is I have the same problem with torch tank’s going empty. Same with welder gas 🤷🏻‍♂️ and always seems to run out late at night or Sunday when they not open 💁‍♂️😂

A few things, that cat is awesome. Dad, once he noticed you needed help, he hustled, great guy. Oil, oil or some type of coolant when drilling metal, use it, you'll like it. Finally, let Jim run the hand drill when wood is not involved. Great video as always.

Thunderbird's are go fab that's what the door reminds me of from my childhood 1970s😅😊

Jim ALWAYS brings a smile to my face.😁

Yep! Jim my glasses have saved my eyes a many of times. just saying

Hello from France. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos!

Thank you for all the videos you do and time it takes you to do it and providing food for the world

I Live in Wisconsin and me and my dad finished winter wheat harvest today the day you posted the video

Exited to watch your crown vic race, looks like a great time, good luck. Rubbing is racing

It's 00:45 in the night here in the Netherlands

That was cute with kitty and how she tried to grab the camera.❤

Look at all the muscle flexing. How can Becky resist!!!

Jim: "ZACK!" Zack: "Yeah?.... " Jim: *silence * Zack: "my drill bit got shorter hehe" Love it, had me laughing for a good minute

I'm not a farm but here in ontario Canada the corn is so high beans are tall and thick is it maybe because of all the smoke in the air? Last year no rain. It all burned up . This year here every two days it rains. Crops look so good! Zack l have a friend drilling a hole just like you two miss lined shaft and gear the drill bit broke and toke his right eye. Oh did I say he had safety glass on the drill bit hit him in the cheek in out right in the eye under the glasses one second for the rest of you life. Me I'm a millright for over 45 years l would never walk in a shop without safety glasses and that job safety glass and face shed. Jim you to. Love you Chanel the dogs and love that cat.

It’s always a good day when I see a millennial with a shovel in his hand, albeit so briefly 😁, great video. Good to see Jim guiding you with his experience, a great man

Interesting too yalls corn tassel. And here around my extreme south Georgia. Most corn is almost dry enough to harvest. If the afternoon rains break off.

Oh GOOD you finally broke thru and took first. Nice job and great Onyx got to watch. Pretty cool

Great video Zack when I use the HOT KNIFE on a bearing centre I cut each side then a small tap with a hammer and the 2 half's just fall off no further damage to the shaft save Jim doing his highly skilled machining. Keep up the good work.

I love Jim's attitude...might as well laugh it off!!!

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Tough work replacing those trailer bearings on the grain trailers. You and Jim got it done. Jim is a good person to have around. Handy guy with tools. Thanks Jim for helping. You mentioned new grain trailers. You mean new new trailers or used trailers?????? Getting better equipment is always nice. Busy time with hauling grain and maintenance repairs going on. Good that Jim could help. Nice to have an extra hand. About it I guess for now. Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy.

You need some cat dog merchandise

HOLY CRAP! THAT IS A HUGE BIN. Also, Jim are the guys everyone needs around.

Another good video. Praying that you get some rain!!

Hey Zach, have you heard of a remote control robot called the Grain Weevil? It is sort of an RC car with helical screws for propulsion. You can drive it around on top of the bin contents, and it can do many if not all of the things that might otherwise require the farmer to climb in to the bin. Could possibly save a few lives just by keeping the farmer out of the bin all together.

Great to see Jim again, what a great guy.

Love seeing Jim! I worked with a lot of good guys like him over the years. Love your channel and content, thanks for sharing your blessings with us!

Jimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!! Jim and Zach.........Now that was some Precision Milling!!!!!!!!

One of my favorites to watch!!!

I wish it was 79 here in Houston. Right now the real outside temp is 109-110 F. Man it's so hot. All the farmers have their crops in. There is a big high pressure dome covering Texas, New Mexico and other states. The water in the Gulf of Mexico is 98 deg F. If we get a tropical storm it is going to turn into a massive hurricane in no time.
