Im not allowed to watch you anymore. My husband is upset when i try to snap my fingers to make dinner, do laundry, and mow lawn... well, 3 years I've been watching you, and he has had enough 😊
Poor Anna. She did a good job defending the farm. Don't let anyone give you grief over her Zac as you know stuff like this happens. Keep up the good work.
Missed Anna's barking when you started the John Deere! It's almost like her voice is part of that process :-). Hope she heals fast; she's such a lovely dog.
Oh man Zack, thank goodness she's going to be okay. Anna and Gidge are my two favorite YT dogs by far. I love that you feature them in pretty much every video. I hope they both heal up completely and quickly.
What ever you did to that “unwelcome dog”, you’ve got my support. We had a neighbor’s dog attack and kill our little dog about 10 years ago. I’ve still got PTSD over it. I’m pretty paranoid about it. I’m sorry that happened. All my best for her speedy recovery !
I watch your videos all the time, it takes me back to the days when we farmed, I grew up on a 320 acker dairy farm that was a 24/7 job no sick days off, I could be on my death bed and my grandpa would tell me to get up and walk it off
Zach, just want to say that your content and ability to make us all so intrigued with the day to day life of a farmer is truly amazing. Every time I am notified you posted a video im always excited to watch and learn. Thank you for entertaining and informing all of us.
I certainly hope you gave Anna the proper support for the house security agent. And have taken care of the "problem" that came into her territory!! And To those who want to give you grief for that, May the bird of paradise fly up their nose!! Trespassers should be dealt with quickly, and completely. Don't need to talk.
It's always comical to see the Milenial Farmer out in the sunshine in a sweat shirt while the Baby Boomer Farmer, father, is out working in a tee shirt!!🤣🤣 Speedy recovery to Anna!!
I was in elementary school in the 1950’s. A futuristic painting was on the wall in my classroom that I’ve not forgotten. One man in a hover unit overseeing 4 tractors, each autonomously completing 4 different tasks: plowing, discing, planting and spraying. I didn’t think I would see the day, but maybe I will. 😊
My goodness! I’m reminded of George Jetson coming home from work and complaining that he had to push three buttons and was absolutely exhausted! Way to go George, I mean Zack!!
Zack you and your family take great care of your pups and cats. When you first got Anna I couldn't believe how fast she was growing. The haters always start stuff cause they can't get out of there mom basement. Take care glad to see you and dad out in the fields
Hey Zach I just wanted to say that your content has been super fun to watch I have been watching for many years and I have always loved your content keep up the great work have a good one
My Mom's Dad started farming with horses in the 1920's, started transitioning to gasoline powered tractors in the late 30's. He collected many arrow heads and other Native American tools while walking behind those horses. Now the technology is getting to the point where the farmer may be able to walk (ride) around the field again while the farming is done. Who knows what discoveries are awaiting you and your children, Zack, as the farm equipment does the farming for you. ;)
Thanks for another great video Zach and Becky. It was interesting and informative and entertaining. So sorry to hear about Anna getting hurt. Sounds like you have a really good vet and he has Anna fixed up and healing. Give her a pat on the head from me please. So now you have Didg and Anna both in the house with you and healing. I know you will take excellent care of them both, you and Becky and the kids. Sorry about Anna. Bless her. Thanks for telling us about the situation Zach. The automated steering with the planter is something else. Auto steer is here that is for sure. Pretty slick setup if you ask me. Turns and lines itself up on the rows perfectly!!!!!! Absolutely amazing technology for a piece of farm machinery. Really appreciate you showing it to us Zach. I am impressed!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing us Zach. You are coming right along with your planting and the new planter. Good show. Sorry to hear about Anna. Am sure she will heal soon. Thanks for everything Zach and to Becky for editing. You and dad take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
In 1980 I lived with a girlfriend outside Cloquet. She had a German shepherd and "saved" a female half German shepherd, half St. Bernard. Those two would run in the woods and come home with a face full of porcupine quills. My job was to hold the dogs while she pulled the quills out of their faces. The older / wiser one only had 7 to 10 quills in his face. The One year St. Bernard mix would have about 30 quills in her face. I was dragged all over the floor while going this.
20+ years ago in ag class, we talked about how this would eventually be the way of the farm. I never thought it would come so soon though. The technological leaps and bounds that we’ve made are incredible.
Last year was attacked by loose pitbull in town,in my own yard with my gsd on leash. He took the bite and got me back in house. He was miserable for 10days, still wary of any pitbull. Give Anna hug for me
Poor Anna was protecting her domain, just as she was bred to do. I work with dogs for a living. Have 2 chocolate labs, never been aggressive. An older lady walks her lab mix past my house every day & she really can’t control him. We were out working with our gardens, our front door wasn’t closed right. Patriot came out while she was talking to us. Her dog attacked him. My husband tried to grab Patriot & slipped his collar off while I was shutting the door(keeping Paisley in) Ran back over, grabbed the lady’s leash & yanked the dog off of him. No puncture wounds, thank God. He was so upset, he came in & threw up. He still goes insane when that dog passes our house.
Tony Reed had a toktok about automation will become popular when the farmers realize they are sitting in the cab and could be doing something else. He hypothesized the same scenario as you about the farmer running around to diagnose issues primarily.
I have watched so many of your videos and this one just struck me as why I watch your videos. I enjoy most of farm videos by other farmers, but you sense of humor is what gets me beside excellent content keep up the great content. Beside I love your dog comments and how you interact with your pets just adds to the content making watching this channel a joy to watch.
Zach....I noticed the hoodie still had the strings in it.......are you feeling OK? Are you slipping, I'm concerned about you....thats not normal....LOL
Zack you and Becky are Great People. Great Family, hardworking. Ignore the Ignorant..Hugs for the Doggies..🙏❤️🙏for them both to have Speedy Recoveries..Love Watching your channels and how Ya'll involve the kids in the farm. God Bless Ya'll..
I wouldn’t blame you on living in the city I’m from Texas and I’ve worked on a 10,000 acre cattle ranch and being out there working the fence by yourself and watching the sunset while balin hay during the summer
Country/farm living is the only way. People in these areas know each other, look out for each other and help each other,but in the cities most don;t know who their neighbour is. If you become ill it takes days sometimes foe anyone to notice that you are not around.
It looks like you will be able to start one tractor spreading fertilizer, another operating the digger, and a third one planing. In the mean time you monitor everything from your office were you can watch other peoples RUclips and call John Deere if something goes wrong. Though work.
You made me a viewer. I have binge watched your channel. Now I understand why you have a “few” viewers. 😃 thanks for being so informative and entertaining.
I'm with you. I live in Los Angeles. I love going to other places. As far as Minnesota one of my bucket places is the Duluth Canal. I don't know why. I just regularly watch what is happening over there. Its like always colder than crap, even now. 45 degrees? But I always like to come home.
For those airlines can I suggest when you get the time in down season pull all of the connectors trim ends but get heat shrink for when you put them back on! Stops them from popping apart and only a razor blade away from being removed for maintenance! Hopefully sowing treats you well mate! Cheers from Australia 🍻
Your father must think back to years ago, and say WOW. We had to actually drive and operate everything back in the 70's-80's.. I am of that era and can tell you technology has come a very long way.
The look on your face and what you said last video. I was worried. Those of us who know you and your loving family know you handled the situation positively and right. Love ya mate.
My grandpa farmed 40 acres by draft animals and raised cattle. He rode his wagon across the frozen Mississippi River to sell meat. Other times, he rode the train across the river taking cattle to market using the Eades bridge.
You should do a farm swap week with Trevor Bales. You can drive the Camo truck around and watch other people drive the tractors. He can sit in the driver's seat and watch the tractors drive themselves. But you better get there before it gets boiling hot in Arizona.
3:16 Zach, If those are John Guest fittings (which they do appear to be), you should be able to get locking collars instead of snipping the end of the line. You could also try to take it out and clean inside the fitting and the outside of the tube. Sometimes a bit of dust or something will keep it from grabbing onto the tube like it’s designed to. Sometimes it’s just a bad fitting. But I’d recommend keeping some locking collars on hand for the different sizes of unions that you have on your equipment.
Poor dogs, hope the have a speedy recovery. Happy for planting this season, early in and it appears to be going smoothly, very odd. Planter closing wheels have some sweet, tri spoke rims and low profile rubber. lol For hot rodding it I guess at 10mph lol.
Sooo... kids are out of school for the summer, both dogs stuck in the house all day, and Zack comes in expecting dinner... Becky sure has her hands full! Not all heroes wear capes... 🤣
We did the exact same thing when that rain was coming. We ran out of worked ground at 6:30 that night. We could have planted another 40 that was right there but it wasn't worked so we called it a night. We haven't been back in the field since except to pick some rock the last couple of days.
Coming from someone who has seen corn planted with a 4440 and fairly new 8345. Fully automated tractors do not need to happen. I 100% believe they can/will happen but they don’t need to. Too many things to go wrong, so when you’re paying off a 3/4 of a million dollar tractor and something in the fully automated breaks you’ll be paying another 100k just to fix it. I’ll just stick with my 4960 and turn it at every end row.
Self driving tractors makes far more sense with our current level of tech compared to self driving cars where we are no where near ready. Learning how to make fully self driving farm equipment is infinitely safer in the beginning stages as well. There is very little to nothing to hit in the field compared to cars on public streets. I'm 110% with you on this one for sure!
VERY interesting video today, Zach . . I got to see the planter "folding up" and seeing and hearing about the Auto-trac system was VERY interesting. You can almost see why that equipment costs so much . . ALMOST !!!
As a farmer, "hand" we had a M.F. 12ft. Combine and a 4 row planter .its amazing what machines turned around since 1984! Bye the way, i love the farm around and out hats ,hint-hint !
And how are you going to program it to clear the mud out of the openers/closers? The packing wheels? How about fixing the vacuum tubes that pop off? And what happens when they screw up, take off, leave your farm, do damage to other properties, possibly hurt someone? I work with computers and I would never ever trust one to operate something on its own unsupervised including self driving cars.
All that automated farming is definitely different. I grew up with a 806 turbo diesel tractor doing the plowing and disking. A 606 doing disking and planting and we done 4k archers a year. Then picking with a 2 row Gleaner Cleaner combine. You guys definitely have it made over us old people 😂😂.
There is listen to content, there is second monitor content and then there is, stop, get a snack, enjoy a a Millennial Farmer video. Great editing as always Becky! Here's hoping the puppers both feel better!
I'm a student at Iowa State. John deere has a tractor and planter they are testing at the university that has a box of cameras that sit on top of the front weights. It has to be for full automation. It also has electric motors for seed depth adjustment to change depth based on conditions like what Precision Planting has. Its definitely coming.
I don't doubt full automation because it's the dystopian future the central controllers have planned for us where we mainly just oversee and repair the robots and ai.
You said you were almost out of DEF. So what happens if you actually do run out of DEF??? Does the tractor die? Do you ruin the engine? What happens exactly happens?
Sad world we live in when we have to warn the SISSY'S that you didn't hurt the dog!!! Keep up the good work, Zack! We thank you for educating us on your world!!!
The pressure line on quick connection, in plumbing happens, there are plastic c clips that keep the quick release from releasing. Snap in and pull out.
That automation for planting is incredible. Have you noticed an increase in productivity? It may only save seconds a pass, but that should really add up by the end of the day. All the other technology also has to save on product you expend. Had it made a difference, or has the increase in prices pretty much kept up?
That fuel trailer is a lot different than hand pumping diesel out of 55 gallon barrels. But, we were only filling a 20 gallon fuel tank on a JD 720. But, since you’re a millennial, you wouldn’t know what that is!

Hello dear how are you doing today
I have no doubt with ai that what you said will happen probably sooner than you think!
Ever see the movie, “Maximum Overdrive”? 😳
Im not allowed to watch you anymore. My husband is upset when i try to snap my fingers to make dinner, do laundry, and mow lawn... well, 3 years I've been watching you, and he has had enough 😊
😂😂 sorry about that!
Best comment ever
Have you paid for the finger snap subscription?

@@65882Plus2 I have been looking for the link, but have yet to find it. Zach maybe will have to do a video on the art of finger snapping for me. 😂😅
Poor Anna. She did a good job defending the farm. Don't let anyone give you grief over her Zac as you know stuff like this happens. Keep up the good work.
Missed Anna's barking when you started the John Deere! It's almost like her voice is part of that process :-). Hope she heals fast; she's such a lovely dog.

The cat’s plans for world domination are progressing: the dogs are stuck in the house and the humans don’t suspect a thing!
Anna did her job she defended the home front.
She has a little body damage but will be ok. Thank you Anna.
Perfectly said.
I’m glad Anna and her friend get well soon.
Glad to see Anna being ok. She defended her home, she’s a good dog. I hope she will heal soon.
the planter does the planting, the computers do the driving, Millenial Farmer does the JD support calls.

Now z can edit his videos while he is planting. Or sleeping.

Glad to hear the hounds are healing well! Enjoy your videos.

Anna we love you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Daddy will take good care of you. Zach you give us the best content.
Glad your dog is going ok thanks for sharing with us zack
That guy that plays Colton is a pretty smart actor. And that has to be an actual farmer playing your dad because he’s on the ball with seed and fuel.

Thanks for the video, Zach. Anna is a good dog looking out for her people. I know you and your family love and care for your animals.
Tony Reed had a toktok about automation will become popular when the farmers realize they are sitting in the cab and could be doing something else. He hypothesized the same scenario as you about the farmer running around to diagnose issues primarily.
I remember the day when a 6 row planter was high tech. There was no auto turn doing about 3 m p h.
That”crappy snap” was wonderful. Not only did that snap work on the air planter, but it moved you from the tractor cab to the outside.
I have watched so many of your videos and this one just struck me as why I watch your videos.

No one wants that junk.
Feel better soon pup!

Man...the evolution of farm equipment ceases to amaze me. The interface of implements to tractor computer & GPS guidance is a game changer !!! 😎👍
Poor puppers - both on the injured reserve list (and I can imagine neither happy about it).
For those airlines can I suggest when you get the time in down season pull all of the connectors trim ends but get heat shrink for when you put them back on! Stops them from popping apart and only a razor blade away from being removed for maintenance! Hopefully sowing treats you well mate! Cheers from Australia 🍻
Well to me it sounds like Anna was defending the farm hope Anna and dige heal fast they are part of the morning routine
Your father must think back to years ago, and say WOW.
We had to actually drive and operate everything back in the 70's-80's..
I am of that era and can tell you technology has come a very long way.
I grew on a farm in NW Iowa in the 70-80’s helping my father farm, technology sure has changed the way you farm over the last 40 years. 😂

Pretty smooth technology, that full automation stuff maximizing planting.
You should do a farm swap week with Trevor Bales. You can drive the Camo truck around and watch other people drive the tractors. He can sit in the driver's seat and watch the tractors drive themselves. But you better get there before it gets boiling hot in Arizona.
Here for the shenanigans again.. Glad the doggos are ok.. Love the content you continue to provide for us you tubers
I always love the production/ fake farmer jokes 😂😂
I hope that both of your dogs will get to feeling better.

Zach, If those are John Guest fittings (which they do appear to be), you should be able to get locking collars instead of snipping the end of the line.
You could also try to take it out and clean inside the fitting and the outside of the tube. Sometimes a bit of dust or something will keep it from grabbing onto the tube like it’s designed to. Sometimes it’s just a bad fitting. But I’d recommend keeping some locking collars on hand for the different sizes of unions that you have on your equipment.
Poor dogs, hope the have a speedy recovery. Happy for planting this season, early in and it appears to be going smoothly, very odd. Planter closing wheels have some sweet, tri spoke rims and low profile rubber. lol For hot rodding it I guess at 10mph lol.
Sooo... kids are out of school for the summer, both dogs stuck in the house all day, and Zack comes in expecting dinner... Becky sure has her hands full! Not all heroes wear capes... 🤣
School doesn't end until the 2nd week of June in Minnesota.
Kids still have a few more weeks of school.
When you exit your tractor or any vehicle for that matter going forward close the door behind you. thanks
hope the pups get better quickly well jim b helping
