Hearing your dads stories about the struggles in the 80's you cant help but think of John Cougars' "Rain on the Scarecrow" song and the auctioning off of the equipment and land. He has outlasted many farmers through hard work and dedication. It is a noble and honorable calling for you to continue the legacy started by so many proud and hard working men that came before. Wishing you nothing but continued success!

We were allowed to skip AG class , possibly encouraged a bit, to drive 2 hours to see John Cougar perform. Been so long ago I kinda forgot about it but he did some shows around can’t remember if it was part of the whole Farm Aid thing? Maybe someone can remember and add to it. Was in 85 or 86.

I came across your Utube family videos last week by accident but found the first video so interesting that I'm straight on the IPad every night, the content is so interesting and I love the family input into each days work. From going to the fields to having your lunch boxes dilvered. It's a great series keep up the great video content. P.s im not farming related. Dave in the Uk.

You have my attention! My dad was a bricklayer, I was, am a bricklayer, my son started out in the bricklaying trade. We all were meticulous arrangers of artistic burnt clay products. My brother is also a bricklayer. All but my son have had to quit bricklaying due to severe back problems. But the main thing is we all enjoyed what we did and there is most of our work still standing! Hang in there and now to part 2. Greg

After losing my dad 5 years ago, I often daydream of these stories. Dad grew up on a cattle and tobacco farm in Western, NC. He would get started on these old time stories about how tough times were but they were to poor to realize it. He would go on and on about the adversity they had to overcome. This video brought back so many for me. Cherish this video as one day it will be priceless.

Hi guys ... very interesting story! My Great grandad + family came to Mountain Lake from Holland via Ukraine in 1876! My Grandad + family moved to Saskatchewan in 1907 & homesteaded! My brother sold the homestead 12 yrs ago & retired! He went into pigs with about 35 sows & about 1000 feeding hogs continuously. Also purebreds Simmental beef cattle! I spent my years as an Electrical Engineering Technology with the majority of the time with the Saskatchewan Power Corporation! We’re now living in Regina, home of the Farm Progress Show. I’m really enjoying your farm series ... keep it up!

@randybedker1584 2 года назад

Listening to your dad brings back a lot of memories. Used to help my grandpa and uncle on their dairy farm . Feeding and milking and cleaning the barn. At 6 yrs old grandpa wanted to go fishing so he took me out to the tractor and made sure I could reach the steering wheel and throttle and said you're going to go help your uncle bail hay because he was going fishing. I learned so much about work ethic and respect from doing that type of stuff. Prayers to all our farmers for a safe and bountiful harvest.

@gnelson720 5 лет назад

I loved hearing the old stories from your dad. My mom retired from the USDA after 40 years and I remember her talking about those farm programs. She worked at the ASCS office and was responsible for managing those programs with the farmers within the county she worked for here in Indiana. She worked a lot of evenings back in the 70’s and I remember going out to work with her at night. Brought back a lot of memories. Thank you for sharing

@Meowschitz 3 года назад

I can’t believe this video isn’t more popular I mean the history of homesteaders turning to farmers to ranchers just all the different things they do to make it work and how your grandfather never ever sold the farm is awesome he just knew that someday the family would come back to the homestead I love this video Zach! So you guys are easily over 100 years old I would love to talk to ya sometime about this specific story in more detail my family started homesteading running cattle in north eastern Oregon in 1822 in two years we will got a two century ranch. Thank you so much not saying your other videos are good but this is the best video you have some because there is nothing more interesting then the history! Awesome video guys your dad is amazing just the diligence he had to keep going through all the ups and downs.

@marknielsen8004 5 лет назад

this is what farming is about ... the history of how we all survived the tough times. Your dad is a great man who has a great work ethic and it shows why the Midwest is the best place to live. Thank you both and I hope to have more history about the farm.

@dajhrm 4 года назад

This is a perfect example of how hard successful farmers work and have worked spanning generations to build a successful farm like you have, everyone just assumes you are magically rich and there were no blood sweat and tears involved, good on you guys, a hard days work for honest pay, you and your family deserve without question everything you have worked so long and hard to build.

@daviddaniken7248 5 лет назад

Thanks for doing this. It's easy to watch a channel like this with a large farm and good equipment and the average viewer thinks that's just the way it always is. Discussing the struggles of the past makes us all stronger. It sets the bar high as far as work ethic, persistence, and doing your best with what you have. It is a reminder that a farm is built over a lifetime, and sometimes you have to bet big on yourself. That was a gutsy move your mom & dad made to pull out and relocate 180 miles from their home base, even with the local family connection. I'm impressed that you both did it as a frank discussion and never got preachy or "poor us" about it. The tough times are what make the good times even better. One of your best episodes.

@timcarpenter8526 5 лет назад

This is an excellent vid Zach. Your Dad looks like a great guy and I give him a lot of credit for stepping up in front of the camera. He looked really uncomfortable when the video started (even though he didn’t sound it) but you could see he began to look a lot more relaxed as the video went on, still, he strikes me as definitely a “behind the scenes” kind of guy. It’s nice to have the kind of traceable family history that you guys have. Looking forward to Part ll.

👍👍. Really REALLY enjoy hearing the old timers tell their story about their start in farming. Even though the stories were laced with heavy helpings of struggle, I always marveled at how nearly every single last one of them said that they would do it over again if they had the chance. I guess I’m some respects It’s why I’m proud to say I came from the farm. And even though I don’t directly farm myself I take great pride in helping those linked to the land find more efficient ways to produce food and energy for the world. Looking forward to part 2!!

Just breezing past on 55. My HS marching band went to Glenwood for Waterama Daze. That was an annual event. Any excuse for a picnic is all we needed in the land of Snow.

Hello from Sweden!!! The only reason I follow you is that in the first video you told that your family comes from Sweden. I myself live in Falköping which lies between the two large lakes we have. In which part of Sweden did your relatives come from? Have you heard about the Swedish TV program Everything for Sweden "Allt för Sverige"? In this program Swedish Americans is competing where first prize is to meet all relatives living in Sweden. During the journey, the participants get puzzle pieces that make their family map complete while learning about the Swedish history and how it is to live in the country.

Nice to see Nate your dad on your video! My great great grandfather came over from Ireland in 1828 when he was about 14 years old with his dad & brothers. He eventually got to Renville Co. Mn. and settled an 80 acre claim in 1866. My bothers & I now own the farm. It was passed on to us from our mom who was born & raised there. It’s only about 200 acres. 100 farm land & 100 pasture. Some pasture land adjoining the Mn. river in Flora township, right where the Dakota conflict was. About a mile away is where the Rice Creek Indians lived ! They started the war when they killed the 5 people at Acton, which is near the town of Grove City. The building site is no longer there except the barn stone foundation. The Schwandt family memorial (A state monument) is a mile west of our farms building site. They where a German family recently settled in1862 who where killed in the Dakota Conflict in Aug. 18, 1862. It’s nice to know the history of your farm. Sorry to hear your grandpa dying so young & your dad not knowing him. Excited to hear more in part 2. This is Dennis ( age 66)from Tracy, Mn.

@eternalreign2313 4 года назад

I think most son's were from Sweden or the Scandinavian area. I have some ancestors from that area and it's fascinating how surnames worked in that area once upon a time. If your name was Anders and your dad was named John, then your surname would be Johnson, and then your sons would have the surname Andersson. Your daughters would have the surname Andersdottir. So you only ended being a Johnson, or Anderson, or Rasmusson because at some point the families just stuck with the same surname. Had they ended the tradition a generation sooner you could have been a Wilson or something. Whatever first name Johns dad had lol.
