@@MillennialFarmer winner winner chicken dinner! I’m enjoying your videos. I actually went to harvest with my cousin in Indiana last month because of watching your videos. I’ll be going back every year.
As a farmer myself I am really impressed, that Zach still does record while all this happens. If this happened to me, there would be no video because of use of strong language haha
the fact that he's mad and still gets the shot for you tube is amazing. he doesn't have to do this for us. if u see this I appreciate what you do to make us happy.
Yeah most people would turn the camera off for these two days. This is yet another reason MF is top shelf material. We get the good days, the bad days, the "my kid has covid" days, the eating nasty candy with your niece days, and all the other stuff that goes with it - and the dogs duking it out every morning. It's as close to being there as I'll ever get sitting in my living room.
@Daniel Kintigh agreed. Plenty of times I threw things and walked away (only to come back and keep trying). I feel for him as there is nothing worse than having the time pressure of nature hanging over your shoulders. Very appreciative if the raw emotion shown in this one
Some days everything goes wrong. Go home early & stay later when it goes right. Don't torment yourself there's already plenty of that for free. Also the air source might have enough flow but not enough pressure for the occasional clump to stall it. It's the only bit left you haven't looked at !
I'm glad you are showing what is actually going on and not just a fluffed up video of how everything works as it should. Love the videos. Good job editing Becky.
I'm not a farmer but oh brother, can I identify with those days when nothing goes right with equipment. Except when the mechanic comes out, then everything works perfect. Keep the faith Zack, tomorrow is a new day.
Its sometimes good that you show this side. Us farmers need to know we aren’t the only farmers having issues this year and it can lift my/our spirits when things aren’t good
Left you spirits? & that makes you feel better? I helped a cow farmer put some seasoned oak runners in his cattle trailer.. he bought spike nails.. think they were called 20 penny nails & 2 brand new wood handle claw hammer that weight at least 30 oz with meat grinder heads.. he used bar oil to grease way, I had driven a few nails, not without bending 1 or 2.. I was laying down on the lumber getting ready to drive another nail.. looking at that nail, I thought about how much it would hurt if I miss.. I'll be damned if I didn't miss that nail & come hard down my thumb.. I cry out with pain.. grasping my thumb.. painful enough I could have pass out.. the Farmer (Jene) what did he do? he busted out hard laughing his ass off, whole I layed there agony... he wasn't alarmed, he didn't console me or offered any help.. & he couldn't stop laughing.. how or why would a guy take so much pleasure in my pain... I figured it out.. it had happen to him as well.. & I guess he took some sadistic pleasure in knowing someone else was stupid as him.. I mean smashing your thumb like that... & that didn't stop the work either, we finished up that cattle trailer & called it a day.
The convo between you and your dad on the phone was the thing for me. Nothing worse than giving the old man bad news but it sounded like he supported you and talked you through a melt down. Keep it between the rows Zac
Burming or not, Old Glory looks like a million bucks! Thanks for flyin her like that! That's the kinda shit that we all joined up for in the first place! Semper Fi!
Forget the fact your father is a encyclopedia..his demeanor is just so amazing he looks and sounds so relaxed you probably cant find a nicer guy then your father wow what a treasure
Love the video! To the 1% of people who read this along with the Millennials hope you guys stay safe and healthy! Keep it between the rows!!!! God bless all!
God Bless the older, wiser men that have the patience to let the next generation figure things out for themselves. When you allow someone to figure things out for themselves they take ownership of the work they do.
I just wanted once again Wanted to tell you how terrific your videos are, you do a fantastic job. Love watching your videos and the times I’ve seen your family as well. And think you have a neat dad and Jim your worker. Where you live is beautiful and you’re so blessedHaving a farm and being a farmer. What would we do without you, we couldn’t. We Americans are blessed all of you are willing to farm. Thank you and keep looking up you don’t want to miss anything.
I've been watching you for a couple of years or more, and this is by far the most frustrated I've ever seen you. I hope things work better for you the next day.
We all have days like that, I can’t imagine what it’s like having a camera in your face and being willing to share it with the world. Hold strong, you are not alone.
Thank you for showing the frustration, disappointment, and aggravation that farmers deal with. Not a farmer personally but i know many people that still think farmers have things easy. Not everyday is like this, but just like everyone else farmers have bad days.
I love that you are showing the real deal and how you are putting up with it! Great job on keeping it reasonable calm and getting to the point that results are better.
Finally, a video that accurately depicts my memories of growing up farming. Every single piece of equipment fighting you tooth and nail, time slipping by faster than you can afford to lose and the rest of the world thinking farming is so easy being your own boss and setting your own hours. Little do they realize the hours are 24/7 and the stress is non-stop. Hang in there, this too shall pass!
Zach, hang in there buddy! You'll get it soon! I sucks to be that frustrated. I don't think I have ever seen you this worked up! Beers in the shop tonight! Good luck, hang in!
Zach, a huge kudos to you for making a video of when things don't go the way you want them to. Anyone who farms, or really any occupation but particularly farming, knows about those days. And it seems like when it rains it pours. I admire your ability to keep calm and keep trying to figure it out. If it was me having those problems and you gave me a 16lb sledge hammer I wouldn't have used it on the closing wheels. There would be no windows left in the cab of that 8RX. Well maybe not but there'd certainly be a lot of bleeps in the video footage. As always, I really enjoy your videos and keep up the excellent content!
Man if I had a day like that I would not have kept filming. It's good to show the frustration of farming though. Thanks for sharing, I really felt for you!
Major props to you for keeping the camera going to keep us viewers entertained! Thanks man! We’ve all had those “Wile E Coyote” days where everything you touch turns into dynamite and blows up on you! But I’m sure you’ll prevail!
here in central iowa the guys that succeed with cover crops do it real early, in fact MANY of them will fly them on with an airplane into standing corn in august and september.
What I've seen was a combine with a seeder(i think it's called a disc spreader) on the back seeding cover crop directly during harvest. Probably a lot cheaper than flying with a plane
Sounds like farmin’ to me, 2 steps forward 3 back most of the time. In those times when it was tough like this or worse my dad would smile and say “isn’t farmin fun?” I miss that guy.
This was hard to watch, not because of filmography or content but because I felt bad for the situation you're in! We appreciate the effort, for what its worth.
Man, that's your best ever video Zack. I have so many times in 30 years of farming been where you are on this. The problems just rack up and you can't see a way through - and yet with hard work and some answered prayer there always is! Fight the good fight Zack. UK Farmer
Even on the bad days Zach is still positive and doing a great job balancing farming and RUclips. Can't be easy but with all the stuff going on in the world its great to still have Millennial Farmer to watch and enjoy.
Wow. What a stubborn set of machines. We never had these kinds of equipment so do not know. Seems like a huge and I mean huge set of settings to get this thing to function correctly. Wow. When you want to get field work done and held back with equipment issues frustrating is for sure. Give you credit for all your efforts. Will be interesting to see if in the end it works right. Hang in there Zach. Hold tight. Appreciate your filming. Thanks. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
"I couldn't make it to quit if I tried" Welcome to the life of a farmer!!! Usually only happens when you are trying to beat the weather. Hang in there Zach we are all counting on you!!
Advice from my father “farming in the mud isn’t farming...it’s mudding” and it wrecks fields “ Cover crops are feed for gophers. And gophers mine soil. Keep an eye on that hilltop”
Days like that make me yell "EFFF YOOOOOOOOU!!!!" and throw a double bird at the machinery, and then go drink a few beers! The next day typically seems to be better.
Anyone else see that repeat at 11:00 to 12:00 and thought they were having a stroke?
Haha, I thought I was too. Had to back up and be sure. Whew!
YES LOL!!!!
Just testing you!!! lol we have been having some serious computer issues lately and editing has been difficult!
Yes
@@MillennialFarmer winner winner chicken dinner! I’m enjoying your videos. I actually went to harvest with my cousin in Indiana last month because of watching your videos. I’ll be going back every year.
Filming the whole thing can’t make it any less frustrating. I appreciate your honesty and your efforts!
That's for sure lol. I almost gave up on the camera that day. Thankfully Becky saved it with some editing!!
@@MillennialFarmer that is wives are for to save your butt. Mine saves mine all the time!
@@MillennialFarmer wa whatttt???? this whes the best vidja in a while zach
As a farmer myself I am really impressed, that Zach still does record while all this happens. If this happened to me, there would be no video because of use of strong language haha
@@QuizmasterNr you dont need to censor yourself if you want to film. just capture the moment that's the art of it
“I can’t even make it to the end of the field...to quit” LMAO
I’ve been there :(
😂😂 I can laugh now. It's been a few days
It's A Monday on a Monday
the fact that he's mad and still gets the shot for you tube is amazing. he doesn't have to do this for us. if u see this I appreciate what you do to make us happy.
Thanks for watching!
@@MillennialFarmer yes thank you stay safe in what you do for us

We all have those days!! Grandpa always said:
"If you are not ready to quit once in awhile, you arent doing it right, or dont care enough!"
If it was easy everybody gonna farm
'Too determined to let it beat you and too stubborn to quit.'
The creed of every farmer

Your dad’s patience was amazing. I can tell he doesn’t think discs should be part of your farm but he allows you to try it anyway
You have a good father with the amount of patience he has. That phone call says a lot. Some old farmers would of raised hell about waisted time.
The convo between you and your dad on the phone was the thing for me. Nothing worse than giving the old man bad news but it sounded like he supported you and talked you through a melt down. Keep it between the rows Zac
Wish I was 40 years younger I would love to come and work on your farm Pete 👍

This is the best comment I have ever seen
On the other hand why bother relearning what past generations learned when you can progress on their experience
This is what life looks like. Thanks for showing days like this, plus life in general. Great channel, one hell of a family you have.
I'm going to guess that the storm you where cussin' up was edited out by Becky LOL
The power of a good wife. Invaluable!!!

"Im so frustrated" basically sums up the whole operation of running an air seeder 😂
I appreciate you showing folks the difficulty’s of farming
Man I love that you hang old glory on everything before you put it out in the field! Goosebumps everytime! God bless!
Thank you for showing the frustration, disappointment, and aggravation that farmers deal with. Not a farmer personally but i know many people that still think farmers have things easy. Not everyday is like this, but just like everyone else farmers have bad days.

Lol how
Appreciate it you 2 buddy may god bless ur day and give a u a 9rx
Hang in there, Zack. Gotta have a few rough days to appreciate the good ones.
Everybody's watching the country tensions are high. Hope everybody had a great Monday things will get better.
It's those bad days that make you appreciate all the good days.
Sometimes, this is just how it goes. We get a really nice harvest season, but tillage is absolutely terrible.
I’m not a farmer but you said: “I’ll be happy when harvest is over. Things will get easier”. I feel your pain.
The solution is easy, many adult beverages and a great burger...
Zach, hang in there buddy! You'll get it soon! I sucks to be that frustrated. I don't think I have ever seen you this worked up! Beers in the shop tonight! Good luck, hang in!

now this is the part of farming I find fascinating... how one deals with things that keep going sideways.
Glad to see you flying “ole glory” ! I know your frustrated. Don’t beat yourself up.
I think everyone has days like this, especially when you are trying to beat the weather. Best of luck keeping your sanity.😁

We actually did a trial up here in northeast Iowa seeding cover crop into v3-v5 corn. Was really impressed with the results.
Keep going Zach. Remember each day a little potash shall fall...or not. Thanks for sharing reality on the farm with us.
Sounds like farmin’ to me, 2 steps forward 3 back most of the time. In those times when it was tough like this or worse my dad would smile and say “isn’t farmin fun?” I miss that guy.
Watching the back part of this video I almost felt like I was working on the equipment with you
Been there
...Perspective.. When the going gets tough, the Farmer keeps going.
Admire your patience and multitude of solutions tried. You got it now; SEND IT TOMORROW !
“Everything’s so damn sticky...”

I can relate to your frustrations, cuz I feel the same thing having to watch all the ads in your videos.
Do you enjoy free content?
Get RUclips premium then what are you complaint about
This video is a prime example of why MN Millennial Farmer has and delivers some of the best social influencer content going. Keep it between the rows.
That’s some real world farming sir, it ain’t all drop it in the ground and go like hell. Keep your head up. I actually watched twice!
With the exception of those videos of Onyx starting on the grain cart, your best video yet. Honest and real.
It's like 11.30 in the evening here and I cant sleep while the clock goes off at 6.15 in the morning so here I am watching the millennial farmer😅🤣
Its 4am here and i cant sleep either, like you i find myself watching youtube.🙄
oh man, how frustrating!! people have no idea what goes into farming, thanks for showing the reality
Seems like if a guy wanted to sell an implement he should spend the time with the farmer to make sure all is adjusted and working properly.
You got this Zach! Don't let it defeat you!
It hit me in the heart when Zack said “I’m gonna get shot if I waste anymore time” 😂
Growing up on a farm, I can tell you I remember having days like this.
The same clip was edited in twice lol
Happens to the best full-time cutters 😅
That's just how sticky it was!
Just like Brian Farm Videos haha
Reaffirming the same thought process.
What I see Zach is a person with no quit be proud of that it is a rare quality in today's world you will always be successful because of that.
I think every farmer watching feels your pain... i know i sure did....
Even on the bad days Zach is still positive and doing a great job balancing farming and RUclips. Can't be easy but with all the stuff going on in the world its great to still have Millennial Farmer to watch and enjoy.
Hope Onyx is doing well.
Dont forget to subtract the weight of the collection bag to get a more accurate weight of product.
That’s for micromanagement
Mate it has to be one of your best videos in a while , you are human and have the same frustration as the rest of us absolutely great .
Zach said "Everything is just so damn sticky" You missed a good That's what she said moment

Take a deep breath,and remember "this too will pass".
They say that about kidney stones...
Thanks for sharing the tough day!
Hey Zack just to let you know at least you’re still in the field where I am in Canada there’s a foot of snow on the ground 😂😁
My Dad always says “ there is no such thing as a bad day, some are just better than others”.
Love the channel, keep up the good work.

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that’s had those days as a farmer as well.

Thanks again, Zach & Becky! Those RX tractors are so sweet! No, I'm not tired of you discussing problems. It's interesting watching you make 'em work!
Like they say " When it rains...it Pours" 💯💯🙄🙄 we all been there a few times!!🇺🇸😂
I love watching your videos when things are going good and bad. Thanks for the extra work filming this for all to watch.
Advice from my father
“farming in the mud isn’t farming...it’s mudding” and it wrecks fields
“ Cover crops are feed for gophers. And gophers mine soil. Keep an eye on that hilltop”
So kind of like pasture cropping, good on you for working on the erosion.
Tell John Deere to create non stick discs 😂😂 or spray some PAM on there lol
This guy knows his stuff 🤪
People here in Australia literally polish and shine up mouldboards for this reason
We’ve all had days or even weeks that go like this!
Just sing “I love tractors” and it will magically fix everything!
Hey Johnson family your doing a fabulous job of bringen farming into the launch room. Love your videos , Bill farming in Western Australia
Days like that make me yell "EFFF YOOOOOOOOU!!!!" and throw a double bird at the machinery, and then go drink a few beers!
The next day typically seems to be better.
Zach, I thought I was the only one that had days like this!!! Thanks for sharing the true struggle
I bet when you got home that your first beer didn't last very long!!
One of your best videos yet. Real world, real frustration. Thank you for being real!!!!
