I think it’s a great idea setting aside 20 acres, and a tractor for your kids to run as an agribusiness. Great way to learn and prep for eventually running the family business. Even if they decide they don’t want to be farmers, they will learn how to budget their time. Farming work is never finished.
unfortunately they don't have the important safety things, that younger people don't think about ......Having done this sort of thing the last forty years , I have grown to appreciate the tractor immediately tuning off once the seat has dislodged the rider......other than the safety factor I totally agree with this learning experience Tony
I almost died laughing on the hook for your purse! Farmers and their ilk are a lot like old Navy guys... never stop with the shenanigan's, it keeps you young.
I LOVE the idea of having the old planter for the kids to farm with. Learning experience. Plus, I bet non of us would complain about anything ever again if we had to farm a few days a year with horses.
As a non-farmer all I can say is “Much respect for farmers.” Unbelievable how many things you have to be good at to run the operation. Enjoyable when your kids are included in the work and watching how they participate. Great work ethic.
My late Uncle Art had 13 living children. 1 went into the Army and returned to Floridia to become the state leader rug supplier. The other children were farmers - milk cows and feed. Art was a large producer of Milk and Cream. His brother drove the milk trucks. The kids and Dad formed a Co-Op and all helped each other for equipment. They rotated on who buys what when. So no one had old gear unless as a utility use. Now all retired and the youngest is still working I remember her as a baby.
Your content has always been top notch that’s why I subscribe but the idea of the kids running the old equipment may be your best idea yet! I can’t wait to see it!! I always enjoy watching you and your dad working together too. I miss that with my dad and grandpa and it brings a lot of memories for me.
@@admrangeron a small job like that yelling is preferable to having to have a hand free to key up a radio lol But yes, needed more tag lines and preparation for a windy day...
Zach I think setting the land aside for your kids is great, if you are gonna do it maybe also get them a disc for the Moline so they have to learn tillage on the old tractor also
I often smile when someone says they will pull a huge, heavy piece of farm equipment with a pickup. I think, “Good heavens, it isn’t the pulling, it’s the stopping that counts.” Just like the automakers touting towing capacity, and not even hint at stopping ability. In the late ‘50s my dad drove a fair distance pulling a rented trailer (not U-Haul and no brakes) to pick up our new barn cleaner , heavy chain and gear box with a 5 hp electric motor. There was a big downhill on the way home. About halfway down he realized that he couldn’t stop at the intersection at the bottom. He laid on the horn and swept through without hitting anyone. Brakes smoking. Stopping ability was important to me thereafter.
Hahaha... Was thinking the same thing about the music. Made me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the editors were sacked and replaced by 40 Ecuadorian Llamas. That or the farm is about 1200 miles further south by southwest than I thought it was. 🤣
Really glad to see the girls Anna and Gidge out and about. Zack's dad sure the neck looks like an ex NFL lineman. Holy smokes, what a big guy. He reminds me of a buddy of mine, ex college football star, huge as can be and a soft spoken heck of a nice guy. Cheers Johnson Family
Use that four row for planting sweet corn. Definitely get the kids to use it. Maybe more than corn. Whatever other vegetable crops that grow best in your area.
You forgot "elevens - 11am" or thereabouts - a drink (usually coffee) and tea in the field about 4-5pm -tea, coffee or pop to drink plus sandwiches and cake or biscuits to keep you going till supper time.
I just about died when you said "Oh $h1T" when they were separating the dryer...I don't recall having ever heard you say such a thing before 😂... now i know it wasn't the actor that plays you on MF... it was really you! LOL.
The thing about the Moline and the older stuff like that, is it will work if the stuff hits the fan. Hate to be gloom and doom, but it is one banana peel slip from where we are right now. A lot of farmers are restoring the old stuff to have on hand. If nothing else it is great for parades.
Thank God for farmers and you setting your children up to run and manage they're own operation is an example of the great people in this beautiful country we live in. Best of wishes for a successful and profitable season Zack.
thanks to you, I have now gained interest in farming with my grandpa again. Thank you for everything you do and for everyone else. Im sure I'm not the only one, but you have influenced so many people. Keep it up!!!!
Zach its a hodge podge day good repair hydrolic line crain got the two legs down great job some are replanting patches Laura and Grant Nebraska to much water short time thanks for sharing and your time Great job editing and video Becky.
That sounds like a good idea for the kids to learn the old school way of doing things, and you would have a spare when the electronics on the Deere die a horrirble death in the future. Dave D.
I am really amazed of how well you and your dad are working together. No nagging comments or getting mad at each other, no conflicts whatsoever...on camera anyways. :) My son is 21 now and sometimes or lots of time unfortunately I catch my self getting loud at him when he doesn't understand something or did something wrong. Shows me I have to take more chill pills for sure. We are honey farmers btw. Wish you and your family a happy and good season from one farmer to another.
I can’t believe this is all for a tv show. You should win an Emmy for your acting. It looks so freaking real. It’s like the Truman show without the goofy advertising. lol
2024 switch hitter hydraulic hose hat me rolling 😂😂 plus you need to get the boy under cultivater changing out points while you grandpa and jim drink a cold drink on the side watching
Good idea Zack. Teach em how to farm without all the modern tech and gps they have now. Gonna need an umbrella for that tractor too. You should make them a channel also and let them run that too. Its something everyone should do to make sure we can farm with the only way if we have to:

Start the old square body, please
Why wouldn't they want to be farmers? It's genetically in them! I think the hard part will be going from the great big stuff to the small stuff.
Your pops not getting the 2024 reference but then adding “I think it’ll go both ways” is just amazing
I almost died laughing on the hook for your purse! Farmers and their ilk are a lot like old Navy guys... never stop with the shenanigan's, it keeps you young.
Your Dad almost bit on the 2024 hose flow direction. He thought about it and got the right answer. 🤣
I LOVE the idea of having the old planter for the kids to farm with. Learning experience. Plus, I bet non of us would complain about anything ever again if we had to farm a few days a year with horses.
Exactly, I love the idea. I hope they will find one to push through with the plan.
The look your dad gave you when you asked which way the air flows was priceless!
As a non-farmer all I can say is “Much respect for farmers.” Unbelievable how many things you have to be good at to run the operation. Enjoyable when your kids are included in the work and watching how they participate. Great work ethic.
Well said
The comment from dad "it'll go both ways." Needs to make a highlight reel somwhere!

The nonchalant "Oh shit" at the grain dryer swinging around made me laugh

Zach, climbing into the hard to get to places is what Onyx is for, that's why we had our kids and if they don't, they're out of the will. 😁
PERFECT audio track for that time-lapse!!! 😂😂😂
7:30 was a big "Oh s***" moment lol
Yep
My butt puckered just seeing that thing sway into the bin!
Not the best trained crane crew I've seen. How do they not have radios to communicate and have to resort to yelling?
@@admrangeron a small job like that yelling is preferable to having to have a hand free to key up a radio lol
But yes, needed more tag lines and preparation for a windy day...
Where's Jim been??? I mean really this channel should be called "Jim & The Millennial Farmer"... 🤣
The adventures of jim and the millennial farmer
Zacks dad oftentimes looks at Zack like “ Who’s kid are you, they raised an idiot” 😂
All fathers do that they don’t want the kids to get too upity. Love how Zack treats his father like he’s the unquestioned boss.
I get that look from a lot of people
His dad owns the farm so yes@@User-yy6xt
Remember Sheriff Buford T Justice talking to junior? There is no way you could come from my loins.
@@mramseyISU 🤣🤣
I see what you did there!! 2024 Dad joke!! Message received!! 😂😂
Zach I think setting the land aside for your kids is great, if you are gonna do it maybe also get them a disc for the Moline so they have to learn tillage on the old tractor also

What a great idea for the kids and using the moline/ farming their own land
Hey Zach and Rebecky! Thanks for the video and letting your personality come out!
I like that everyone is doing the Vice Grip hand gestures.
That’s what happens when you spend time with Derek! 😂
The 2024 hose joke got a solid cackle out of me 😂
Transphobia from a farmer? Color me shocked
@@ericklingbeil5404 get out of here with that
Brings back memories of the row 12 error code!!! Thanks for the great videos!!
Time laps yard video! I'll go ahead and take creative credit for that idea and send an invoice. I'll take Coors light as payment.
the music in the time lapse was great, different but great. 😊
Hahaha... Was thinking the same thing about the music. Made me think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the editors were sacked and replaced by 40 Ecuadorian Llamas. That or the farm is about 1200 miles further south by southwest than I thought it was. 🤣
Really love the kids farming idea.
Great pratice.
Really glad to see the girls Anna and Gidge out and about. Zack's dad sure the neck looks like an ex NFL lineman. Holy smokes, what a big guy. He reminds me of a buddy of mine, ex college football star, huge as can be and a soft spoken heck of a nice guy. Cheers Johnson Family

After hearing the crane crew yelling, the time lapse soundtrack was hilarious. 🇲🇽
Good to see both dogs in good shape. Always makes me happy seeing them.
Thst idea with the moline and your kids farming their own acres is the best idea I've heard in a while. Well done good sir
Like the moline idea! I'd watch that. More entertainment value if they fail :P
Loved the purse holder!😂
You are the best for the homeschooling comment about planting and farming with Minnie tractor. Keep rocking!
Luv the channel. Cool to hear you say supper. That's some old school talkin by a young man.
Breakfast, dinner, supper. My wife and I still debate that 😂
@@MillennialFarmer that how we call it at my house!
Breakfast, lunch/dinner, supper.
Depending on what type a meal at noon was served. Something quick was lunch, more prep work was dinner.
@@marylee6153correct, but a real fancy meal at night is a dinner.
Breakfast, dinner, supper. Lunch was what you brought out to dad in the field between dinner and supper.
You forgot "elevens - 11am" or thereabouts - a drink (usually coffee) and tea in the field about 4-5pm -tea, coffee or pop to drink plus sandwiches and cake or biscuits to keep you going till supper time.
I just about died when you said "Oh $h1T" when they were separating the dryer...I don't recall having ever heard you say such a thing before 😂... now i know it wasn't the actor that plays you on MF... it was really you! LOL.
The writers of the show really wanted to captivate the audience!
Your dad’s “yea” is classic!!! More dad content please!
That is great love seeing all kids to know how it was back in the day.
time laps music was great so are you and the family god bless😄😄😄🎼🎵🎶
Warms my heart to see those dogs are back to normal.
11:14 I was looking at the floor thinking, so much for that lovely floor cleaner you bought. Keeping that floor clean is a continuous job.
The hose joke was perfect!
I enjoy your dad. I like seeing and hearing from him also.
Great idea on the open tractor with a four row planter. They will learn to appreciate what they will have in the future more
The both ways answer from your dad was awesome
Glad to see y’all got some Sun ☀️… Dogs look like they’re getting back to normal! All the best for the rest of the Season!
Congrats on hitting the first Million mark.. may there be many more.. Much love and Thanks so much for Sharing

When your dad says I think it will go both ways talking about the hose I lost it.
I like the look you got Zack when you said that means will be planting on Saturday? Yep. Farm working does go mby the calendar.
The 2024 hose got me laughing.
Your videos are a lot better than others Farm Videos !!!
As always great job!! I look forward to every video! Many thanks !!
6:30 in is priceless.. Love the sense of humor.
Absolutley love the idea with the kids and the Moline
Mariachi band celebrating the time lapse. Nice.
Thank God for farmers and you setting your children up to run and manage they're own operation is an example of the great people in this beautiful country we live in. Best of wishes for a successful and profitable season Zack.

Time lapse tune is perfect.
Thanks for fun day on the farm.

Get the old planter hooked up to the moline with the old chevy with the seed corn bags visible in the back. Perfect photo
Thank you FBN for sponsoring this channel. We are members also. Great content as always.
Zach its a hodge podge day good repair hydrolic line crain got the two legs down great job some are replanting patches Laura and Grant Nebraska to much water short time thanks for sharing and your time Great job editing and video Becky.
Great idea for homeschooling project, very inspiring to know out future farmers are good business owners
I love the Timelapse music!
I am so happy to see Anna and Didge back to normal! Where is Jim??
I loved watching the clouds during your time-lapse
I love all your farm life content... but gosh... your dogs are so stinking cute.
Love the time lapse music!
nice to see ur dad good Idea n teaching the kids how to farm n the exspence of it
That sounds like a good idea for the kids to learn the old school way of doing things, and you would have a spare when the electronics on the Deere die a horrirble death in the future. Dave D.
I can tell Zach has been watching vice grip garage lately 😂
I am really amazed of how well you and your dad are working together. No nagging comments or getting mad at each other, no conflicts whatsoever...on camera anyways. :)
My son is 21 now and sometimes or lots of time unfortunately I catch my self getting loud at him when he doesn't understand something or did something wrong. Shows me I have to take more chill pills for sure. We are honey farmers btw. Wish you and your family a happy and good season from one farmer to another.
I know exactly what you mean. We definitely have those moments, but overall, we get along very well.
Coming from a retired crane operator awsome video.
The new dryer will be interesting to see. I imagine the electronics will be over the top.
Thank You Zach & Family for keep producing our food supply, don't quit, we are counting on Ya'll.
That’s a super idea for your kids I love it
Makes my day one you post!
Nice slide whistle! Made the Timelapse!
The dogs rasslin always makes me grin and smile. Good to see them out and about being dogs.
I can’t believe this is all for a tv show. You should win an Emmy for your acting. It looks so freaking real. It’s like the Truman show without the goofy advertising. lol
MF is RUclips #1 influencers! Thanks for sharing your videos, Zach and RUclips influencer-- Becky 💯🇺🇲
2024 switch hitter hydraulic hose hat me rolling 😂😂 plus you need to get the boy under cultivater changing out points while you grandpa and jim drink a cold drink on the side watching
Good idea Zack. Teach em how to farm without all the modern tech and gps they have now. Gonna need an umbrella for that tractor too. You should make them a channel also and let them run that too. Its something everyone should do to make
sure we can farm with the only way if we have to:
Love the timelapse!
Like your shirt and also the fact that you said supper. In French we call it souper, diner is at lunch time. Good job getting things fix. ❤️🇨🇦
