    Working as a jet aircraft mechanic for over 30 years I realized that the noise level associated with them was a real physical energy zapper. You mentioned how tiring you get driving truck, maybe the noise associated with this work is draining you? The enjoyment level of this video was a perfect 10! You guys rock!

    When I have emotional stress added to a full plate of trying balance the myriad of things that are involved with just my normal daily life, I get more physically tired than if I had been splitting firewood all day. God didn’t intend for anyone to be a super hero all of the time. 🙏 for a good harvest.

    Over here in New Zealand we are about to spray out some existing pasture for cultivation and planting of maize for silage. We are planting 55 acres (out of 570) and this will help feed our herd of 550 milking cows through next autumn and winter. It's great watching how farmers operate in different parts of the world. Especially a real family farm. My son and I both work on my brother's dairy farm here.

It reminded us of Kenzie getting into the Volvo with the trailer. We enjoyed that. You people are "natural" in front of a camera. Be safe and keep on "keeping on".

    I think Mackenzie could master the chopper like her parents.

      She was nervous because the load would be heavier and she needed to be more careful while dumping so the trailer wouldn't tip over.

    Rhonda, take 1 hour a month on a day it's raining,grocery shopping to get a massage. It will re-energize your body and bring you back to your center. It will be something you look forward to. The massage will add years back on your life too. It could also benefit your whole family if they were to get a massage too. I know McKenzie would enjoy being pampered with a massage. It also helps with muscle stress. It is worth the money.

    The 2 way radios are the best thing for farming there is zero downsides. Hand signals can be misunderstood and when you are up close with big tractors and big trucks it's a life saver. We had a baler blow a bearing and a few more seconds and it would have went up and a quick yell over the radio saved that old baler and I put it out with a few water bottles

Funny I work for a smaller family-owned garbage company + we use cell phones + texting (of course stopped) for all of our communication too! We don't have CB radios in any of our trucks.

      Harvest time is extremely stressful & dangeroue. Long hours, fatigue, sometimes miserable conditions. Some of the worst farm accidents happen at this time. I'm not going to offer any of the usual verbal platitudes. Be careful out there, guys & gals. Be adults. You know the rules. You know the procedures. That machine doesn't care if it's grinding up plant material or human anatomy. My dad's favorite saying was, "The good Lord gave us brains to figure out easier ways of doing things!" I'm going to add the word, "safer" to "easier". 🤔

    Tarspot can reduce corn crops. a fungicide called Trivapro will reduce the Tarspot to a better corn plant. Storms can spread the Tarspot spores from field tp field making the fungus grow significantly. I am a horticulturist and know this information. Just thought i would help you out. Your fields look great other than that. Happy harvest and GOD bless

    Harvest is like eating an elephant,.....one bite at a time!!! I do not know too much about them, but it seems like more and more farmers are using 2-way radios instead of CB radios. It seems like Midland 2-way radios are the most preferred. The only drawback that I have heard, is that the speaker is mounted on the bottom, and when farmers mount them in their equipment, the speaker is usually facing against some sort of surface and the sound can get muffled. Some farmers have hooked up external speakers to help.

      Every load of corn that you load young lady is probably worth $2,500 to $3,000 give me the price of corn on it is today so you figure it out go get your groceries some other time and do your laundry some other time or hire somebody to do your laundry it's more important to get the corn off and get it into the feed box to feed your cattle
