I am so happy to see your little kid from the beginning. I guess we get to basically watch your kids grow up and that’s special. Thank you for sharing not to many people would.
Isla is so little and cute in this video! I mean, she's still cute. But I've been watching the recent videos more, and it's just striking how small and adorable she is here. It's so cool to see kids personalities blossom as they grow. Your family definitely adds a very cool aspect to your channel's videos! I know they're high on your list, cause it shows!
My husband and I just drove through southern Minnesota and loved it. I found your videos because I wanted to get a mental image of how you guys manage and work those vast acres. Your videos have been awesome! Thank you for putting them out there. Ila is precious--so glad you take her along!
Great video. You ride with good company too :) Thanks for your effort to educate and inform a lot of folks who may not understand all the complexities that go into agriculture these days!
I love your excellent vids. you go into much more detail in regards to actual crop production methods.i look forward to following your progress during this coming growing season. you remind me of Jake Freeman an English tillage grower who also does excellent vids .
That is amazing I had a friend from Iowa trying to explain that to me you were very good at telling how it works.very good ideas it has to be quite costly though
watching sub vids on shuffle. I only started watching your channel 3 months ago and I had seen your daughter when she was older. When I saw this video I thought you had another kid until I looked at the upload date lol
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. You explain what you are doing for each operation in terms the layman can understand. I love the technology nowadays! How many acres do you farm? Keep up the good work.
Hell yeah man! Nice video. You've made me consider doing the same thing. I work on Tea Tree plantations and there's a huge range of things to document. I even have a baby on the way so maybe my little partner will ride with me at some point.
Sub-inch accuracy for sub-soil & I was on submarines and we use zinc for corrosion control. Interesting Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California
wow so diffrent compared to denmark, here we run a 7 furrow reversible plough in 9 inch dept with a john deere 8520, and then we run with a Horsch Pronto 6DC and John deere 8360R i guess we seed average 45-50 HA a day.
Love your videos. One thing I noticed that's not farm related is the straps on the carseat are not set up properly. The strap needs to be at or below the shoulder not above. I learned this with my daughter so just passing on the info so hopefully she is safe if something happened.
Buddy I am here to tell you you might only have 15000 plus subscribers it's not going to be long you're going to have all the subscribers you're going to end up with the bigger Channel then how Farms work or any of these other dudes I've been watching this other dudes channel for over 4 years and he's never even hit a like or anything or any of my comments that's all good but you got the best technology out of anybody I watch and you're very very smart dude man your father passed down some very good knowledge you know more than most that's for sure give credit where credit's due and you have me cracking up when you said if you're not following me on RUclips shame on you that's funny shit and you can't make everybody happy you know that on all your videos there's haters everywhere but man keep up all the good work keep it safe I really and truly enjoy all your videos I've learned a lot on what you know and that's the greatest so have a good weekend man and will see you on another vid
We've recently switched to a strip till program for corn here in Eastern Ontario. We're fairly similar growing areas. You're 90% there with your rig. Ever though about losing the chisel and the "digger" and going to strip till? I promise you'll never look back once you're there.
FarmerSchneck I would like to try that, but our soil is really heavy and struggles to dry out in the spring as it is. I'm nervous we wouldn't be able to get things planted on time. There is absolutely zero no till in our area. What about yours?
We no-til all our beans. We have heavy clay soils too. The less you work the soil the better it drains and carries equipment. I'm a slow leaner but we're making awesome progress. I really like the strips. Wettest year ever here this year and the strips got us in the field about 3 days earlier than the disk ripped land.
I find the field maps of the phosphorus and potassium interesting. What causes the variation? How much is from the original geology and how much from the history of previous years fertilizer application?
Good explanation of the principles involved, the equipment and linked background data. However how often, over say a ten year period, would you plan to have these soils sampled and analysed? I imagine that you link precise yield data with these soil maps? In your case and experience how far down and wide do you find the roots penetrate in an average year as 30inch wide rows is mighty wide? We very rarely see maize grown for grain here in the UK (mainly, as yet, for climate reasons) but it is widely grown for winter forage and harvested green when the grains in the cobs are at the firm cheese stage.
Dan Whiteford We sample and test the soils roughly every 3-4 years. We do have yield maps to correlate with the fertilizer application and the soil samples, yes. Comparing the yields in different areas is mostly done manually yet though because we don't have a program that allows us to layer the data very well (yet). So we mostly just analyze the 2 by comparing what we see on the maps. As far as the roots, I am not sure about how far out they spread, but I'm certain that some roots will get to 4,5, and 6 feet deep. 22" rows are common in our are as well. Most corn is grown in 22 and 30 in the US as far as I know.
How are you applying nitrogen are you side dressing with 28 or 32 springtime or you knifing in anhydrous ammonia? Do you soil test in the spring or fall with this applicator? There you go soil testing video?
Hello, what type of phosphate fertilizer do you use? I don't know the pH of your soil, but the application of phosphate some months before the sowing doesn't give problem of immobilization of the phosphate ion? However, great job and excellent explaination
MN Millennial Farmer we also, in north east of italy, are used to applying DAP or MAP fertilizer, but during the seeding, about 5-7 centimeters from the sowing line
Kris Cipywnyk We grow just corn and soybeans right now. There are a lot of sugar beets to our south and west. On the irrigated soils east of us they also grow potatoes, peas, and sweet corn.
Just running back through some of your videos here. First, is that an air seeder but you only use for applying fertilizer or do you put the soybeans in with it? Second, how are the soil samples obtained (and who does it). That’s a lot of samples if you Farm 2500 acres.
Just discovered your channel and subbed, and I'll do the same on FB so I don't have to hang my head in shame anymore ;) Love the bonding/snack time in the tractor, she reminds me of my daughter. In addition to the soil samples, drone inspections, and old fashion know-how, do you use yield data during harvest to adjust fertilizer rates next season, or do you just use it as confirmation that the soil sample maps are helping boost your yield?
BrinkME Appreciate the sub, thanks for watching! We have used yield maps now for many years but we don't adjust our fertilizer maps based on them. That would be another step deeper into the variable rate system though, because obviously a higher producing area will remove more nutrients.
Good informative video. We're variable rating here as well. What do you say about pH and your phosphorous rates? I have a ph in 5.8 - 8.0 range and I know at the higher levels the P is just not working as well. Do you double check your rates next year with tissue tests? Thanks again.
TwoHappyChildrenFarm We haven't used tissue tests as much as we should. Almost all of our ground is high pH so we have trouble with P getting tied-up and unavailable. For that reason, we don't typically put on more than the crops use-rate. We have a really hard time "building" P in our high pH soils.
Thanks. That's what I'm trying this year as well. Doesn't seem to be a point building when my P2 Bray tests already show there is a ton out there, just not available. Trying quickroots as well.
So why on a tillage program instead of no-till. Up here in Ontario we run beans in the corn stalks and cultivate wheat or bean ground ahead of the planter with a pre spray program.
69druth I was waiting for someone to ask that. Our heavy, high pH soils mixed with our wetter, cooler climate just don't seem to dry out in the spring if we don't open them up. There is very very little no till in our area.
Justin Strickler Strip till is something were considering, but our heavy clay soils need to be opened up or they don't dry out with our wet, cold springs.
We strip till about 1000 acres here in central Iowa both with map/potash, NH3 about 600ac and hog manure 400ac roughly with fall application. This year I tried some strip till corn on corn into 225bu residue ended up 212 but field avg this fall on 140ac first year corn on corn
Lucas Makk It's on a chisel plow which tills too deeply for that. Where we're at most things are planted in rows, nobody plants with an air cart around here. We grow a lot of soybeans but no wheat. But yes, they use air carts like this in North Dakota, Montana, and Canada a lot.
@@MillennialFarmer I see hugh differences between farming in MN and for example Montana, (Welkers) Are the conditions like weather and clay the main differences? I"m realy curious.
dont you lose a lot of fertilizer in the 6 month gap between this video and the planting? I mean, with the ground moisture must be a part that goes away.
Martin Ezcurra No, that's why we are not applying nitrogen with this unit. Potassium and phosphorus remain locked in the soil because of their positive charge. Nitrogen changes forms over time to a negative charge, that's why it escapes over time.
When I was younger most of my family (I live in South Wales) used to run farms and I loved going to there’s and doing work. Watching your videos makes me miss it even more. Keep up the amazing information filled videos.
Really? One would think with that fertilizer going in the ground 6 months before planting something would be lost. Always learning new things on you tube!
Massey1105driver Nitrogen can leach out but P and K bind to the soils and won't flush out with ground water. Our soils also freeze hard for 4 months every winter so that allows us to even apply N during late fall.
Yeah, the more you get done in the fall the better. I am sure spring up there can be touch and go like here in northeast ohio. When it gets fit you want to plant not waste time getting fertilizer in the ground.
yes. We hire the local coop to knife the anhydrous in at an angle after we deep band the P and K. Our bander has the capability of putting on NH3 but it's been a pain in the neck when we've done it.
In the Thief River Falls area applying ammonia with a chisel plow or knife applicator on untilled soybean ground is quite common in the fall. However, farmers then wait until spring to apply P&K along with some nitrogen starter fertilizer as they seed wheat with an air seeder. They don't want two tillage operations in the fall on soybean ground as it would destroy too much residue making the land more susceptible to wind erosion.

It’s amazing to see how you started as a content creator and how much your children have grown over the years. Big difference. Love your videos Zach.
Been thinking the same thing. Have watched since 2020 but I am now coming back to older videos and it’s so cool to see the progression.
I am so happy to see your little kid from the beginning. I guess we get to basically watch your kids grow up and that’s special. Thank you for sharing not to many people would.

Been following for a couple years and decided I’d best see where and how it began. Dang cute little kiddo eating cookies
😊
My husband and I just drove through southern Minnesota and loved it. I found your videos because I wanted to get a mental image of how you guys manage and work those vast acres. Your videos have been awesome! Thank you for putting them out there. Ila is precious--so glad you take her along!
Bonnie DeHaven Thank you!
Thanks for explaining Strip Plowing for us non-farmers. You had me with the cookies.
Beautiful little helper, you are blessed!
i watch allot of ag videos and just ran across yours, possibly the most informative videos out there, good job
idoutdoors Thank you!
Good work on the videos and info. Part time farmer here from Ohio and Full-time Polaris employee.
Jonathan Johnson I'm a big time Polaris fan! We have 2 Victorys, an indian, a slingshot, 2 850 wheelers and a sled between the parents and I!
Great video. You ride with good company too :) Thanks for your effort to educate and inform a lot of folks who may not understand all the complexities that go into agriculture these days!
Very educational. I hope this practice becomes much more widespread. It looks like you have a new "Farm Her"! Thanks.
Day always gets better when the lunch box opens!
I’m a bit late to your channel but I’m loving seeing how you guys farm crops in the US
I am amazed the difference in farming in 2017 from what I learned in 1960. Truly amazing.
you have the best job in the world. greetings from Sweden 😊
dannekurir Even on bad days I always remember it could be a lot worse!
Hi there from down under. I just subscribed to your channel and I love the explanations you give for what your doing. Cheers
I love your excellent vids. you go into much more detail in regards to actual crop production methods.i look forward to following your progress during this coming growing season. you remind me of Jake Freeman an English tillage grower who also does excellent vids .
Denis Gallagher Thank you!
Love that cookie, and your daughter.
That is amazing I had a friend from Iowa trying to explain that to me you were very good at telling how it works.very good ideas it has to be quite costly though
Howard Younger It's spendy to get into initially but it has been a good investment
New tecnolagy is so cool the tractor was practecly driving itself
Boy how she has grown. Soon she will be running the farm.
tile and fertilizer are maybe the best things ever
Anderson Farms plus GPS farming
watching sub vids on shuffle. I only started watching your channel 3 months ago and I had seen your daughter when she was older. When I saw this video I thought you had another kid until I looked at the upload date lol
That is really cool how that all works
Great to be able to bring your kids to work
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. You explain what you are doing for each operation in terms the layman can understand. I love the technology nowadays! How many acres do you farm? Keep up the good work.
David Mallett Thank you! Right now we run about 2,600 acres.
This is giant
We use a subsoiler and liquid fertilizer down here in NC
Hell yeah man! Nice video. You've made me consider doing the same thing. I work on Tea Tree plantations and there's a huge range of things to document.

It’s just a chisel plow that they modified

id folow you there but i dont do face book or insta whatever lols im old computer is about as fancy as i get great series thanks man

Leonardo Albanese Typically the products used in Minnesota are Mapp, Dapp, or Mesz. In our specific area the soils are high pH. 7.7-8.3 is common.
MN Millennial Farmer we also, in north east of italy, are used to applying DAP or MAP fertilizer, but during the seeding, about 5-7 centimeters from the sowing line
Nice sweatshirt
Will those strips be affected in the spring wen you run the digger (field cultivator)? What kind of fertilizer do you use when seeding?
You have to watch them till the very end
nice set up, love the 30 series 4wds. what all do you guys grow down in minnesota?

You should look into a product called pro-soil. It is really good at making P available
Could you do a tractor tour please I really enjoy seeing what equipment people use im from England
Paul Snell I will try to get some sort of machinery tour done at some point in the next couple of months. I have had a few people ask about that.
what happened to this 4wd tractor?
9630 pulling that rig?
yep watch on face book RUclips its so interesting
What is that machine called you are pulling?
So why on a tillage program instead of no-till. Up here in Ontario we run beans in the corn stalks and cultivate wheat or bean ground ahead of the planter with a pre spray program.
69druth I was waiting for someone to ask that. Our heavy, high pH soils mixed with our wetter, cooler climate just don't seem to dry out in the spring if we don't open them up. There is very very little no till in our area.
MN Millennial Farmer Good to know the ins and outs of different areas. thanks
Interesting
Do you fertilize every year?
Why not strip till instead of doing so much soil disturbance and save one pass
Justin Strickler Strip till is something were considering, but our heavy clay soils need to be opened up or they don't dry out with our wet, cold springs.
We strip till about 1000 acres here in central Iowa both with map/potash, NH3 about 600ac and hog manure 400ac roughly with fall application. This year I tried some strip till corn on corn into 225bu residue ended up 212 but field avg this fall on 140ac first year corn on corn
When I'm side dressing my corn l can only go 8 rounds but my tank is only 300 gallons.
I’d love to see Americans use a real plough and see if any yield increases
What form of P and K do you apply ?
Can't you use that for planting to?
Lucas Makk It's on a chisel plow which tills too deeply for that. Where we're at most things are planted in rows, nobody plants with an air cart around here. We grow a lot of soybeans but no wheat. But yes, they use air carts like this in North Dakota, Montana, and Canada a lot.

Is there any loss of fertilizer in this process? If so is the rate upped a hair to compensate loss?
Massey1105driver No loss. We actually lower our rates often times because the plants use the nutrients more efficiently so they don't require as much.

When and how do you apply nitrogen? What type?
usually we put anhydrous on in the fall. Sometimes spring urea.
MN Millennial Farmer So, that means two trips over the fields in the fall?
yes. We hire the local coop to knife the anhydrous in at an angle after we deep band the P and K. Our bander has the capability of putting on NH3 but it's been a pain in the neck when we've done it.
Would that ammonia application at an angle not disturb the rows of P&K?

Do you own this farm or work for it?
donna summerall It's a family farm. My Dad and I run it full time.
lucky kid 😊
You're pulling a 30ft chisel plow how many horsepower is your tractor
She’s cute back then too
what kind of radios do you guys use??
Indiana Row Crop kenwoods. Private digital band
What tractor?
so is that a strip tiller?
spaude123 Technically no, but it's the same theory. The difference is that this is a full till system.
The shorter length videos, you can get a whole video without the bander having issues.
How long will a tank last..
Chris Cardoza that's dependent on the application rates. I honestly don't remember off the top of my head!
What happened to this tractor ?
You got a different tractor.
you guys in west mn or east mn
Sam Magedanz West Central
I was just wondering how close u guys were to us. we're not to for from the sd mn border on the sd side
Sam Magedanz We're less than an hour from SD and ND. Near Alexandria.
so not that far
Do you use NH3
Kade Himsel usually, yes
Thats an impressive semi trailer for your fert, How many hoppers is that ?
Mark Sinn I think that one is a 24 ton, 4 bins. It's the co-ops.
I would have loved to have had that when I worked at cenex. The one I drove was a 16 ton.
Watching this years after but since you have a coronavirus infection, you better isolate since the world might get infected!
Cute little girl.
She is cute
I have never seen so Many Weeds with no till fields, looks nasty
what weeds? you mean soybean stubble?
she so cutie
Your helper is kind of creepy looking .... what percentage human is it?
shame on you for shaming me I can shame back lol how many acres can you do when full of fertilizer before having to refill.
roger wilson It varies a lot depending on how much product were putting on. Probably averages around 40
well that not bad for I thinking a lot less being not liquid but solid.
MN Millennial Farmer hello, how much Map or Dap do you put in the high demanding spots? very good video! exellent!
