For those that are curious, there is an editing mistake in this video! From 3:27-3:55 the software rendered the wrong clip as it had the same name as the intended clip. I didn't catch it until it was uploaded. So, if you were wondering why that clip didn't seem like it belonged, that is why! The missing clip showed the 800 amp breaker and panel detail. Dang it!
This video was way better with you talking. Don’t listen to the haters bro. If they don’t like it they don’t have to watch it. Keep doing your thing 👊🏻
@@digdrivediyI agree. I was raised on a sugarcane farm, but I learn a lot from you. It’s interesting. Please keep talking and explaining everything to us.
I will clean it up from the version I heard , but I heard it said once that opinions are like rear ends, everyone has one and most of them stink. @digdrivediy, please don’t let the very minority opinion change what you do! Your videos are some of the most well directed/narrated ones on RUclips! Please don’t change for the minority!
Once again Neil, you managed to turn a "typical" farm install into a well crafted story that is easy to follow and understand. The friendly and humble way that you tell the story keeps us happily returning to hear the stories you want to tell.
It’s always funny when watching a video with blue collar guys doing what they do to see them struggle between not wanting to be on camera, wanting to get on with the job, and also being proud of their work and happy but also confused that the world wants to see what they do. It usually only takes about three questions for them to cycle through those reactions into being willing to tell you anything you want to know in way more detail than you could even understand.
That's exactly right. Most everyone is quite willing to share just not sure about the camera. For the most part I've experienced that everyone enjoys it despite some initial awkwardness.
One of the best channels on RUclips. Thanks for the education on grain bins. Been driving by similar setups all my life and now have some appreciation for the complexity of these systems.
I am in awe of the complexity of the machinery and skill of the people involved in putting something like this together. I wonder about our future when we are sending kids to college and they come out dumber than they went in what we are going to do without people like this.
Hey Neil, absolutely enthralled by this one…. Having worked in the electrical construction industry here in Aus all my life, it was great to see how things are done on the other side of the planet. Interesting to note that you used Aluminium cables, here it’s copper only for any U/G supplies and we use plastics protective slabs & sand around any non conducted cables to protect against ground damage. The silo construction was great to watch, for someone with no farming background, these stories are brilliant to watch… keep up the good work… Adam 🇦🇺
I like it so much more when you talk in your videos!!! you explain everything very well!! keep up the good work and hope to see more content on the pond build soon!!!
I also end up here because of the pond but the channel is really amazing. I'm not an American so some stuff is a bit out of my context but just the calm and sooting tone makes this content so amazing.
Agreed the pond i think really blew your channel up. But think that was a great intro to your content. Also enjoy the talking and the info. And the explanation of why you’re doing something in a certain way. Its interesting so see other points of view.
Doesn’t matter how terrible my day is. When I watch your channel Neil I always feel so relaxed after. Same thing with Captain Kleeman and Dirt Perfects videos. Yall are just so calm and positive all the time.
I Love our farmers!!!!! Thank you for all you do in sustaining all of us by providing us with food. The hours and hours you put in and the money spent is much appreciated. I love how clean and organized your farm is. The average person has no idea what goes into opening a can of corn.
What a dream come true for your friend. That's a huge milestone for his business. You can see at 32:08 the realization of all that hard work paying off. As an SBO myself, I hope he gets to see many more of those moments. Thank you for documenting this journey Neil!
Greg’s smiles are proof that dreams can come true…. And, you, my friend, did a masterful job of telling us the details behind it all! I thought that our childhood grain bin was a master of technology. It’s clean white concrete pad, shiny galvanized tin can with a dome… stood next to our whitewashed milking barn. We used a screw auger that we borrowed from our neighbor to fill it with dairy cattle feed the first year. The feed came in 100 lb gunny sacks. My dad bought a half ton at a time. You see, that is all that he could afford when we started out. So every month he’d deposit the Milk check and order another half ton. Then, he’d haul it home in the back if our old ‘52 Studebaker pickup. (It was a year older than I was.) Once he dropped the tailgate at the auger pan, it was my turn to transfer the grain. At 14, I struggled a bit to drag them into position. However after a few months I mastered it… and the art of unzipping the end seam on the burlap bags. You see, there was a ten cent deposit on each bag… and every penny counted in those days! Getting the feed out of the bin was a process of its own. At first, we just opened the door and scooped it into a wheelbarrow. The sweet smell of molasses still reminds me of the pleasure that opening the door brought to my olfactory senses. The wheelbarrow was wheeled into the Milking Barn where it was deposited into the granary right next to the parlor. From there it was scooped out to feed each individual milking stall…. Labor intensive? Not really! It was just what we did. After the first year, my dad made a deal with the feed company. He took most of the proceeds from sale of the calves to pay for buying the feed in bulk. At that time, feed was delivered only if you bought at least a ton. He bought a year’s supply. The feed truck was equipped with its own screw auger… that meant, I didn’t have to move, unzip, fold and keep track of gunny sacks any more. The truck took its place and we sent his auger back home to our neighbor. It also changed how we got the feed out of the bin. For the majority of the time, we just opened the sliding trap door and filled the home made wooden bin. It was sized to fit perfectly inside my old Radio Flyer wagon… that carried it into the Milking Barn. And that sir, was the level that farm tech had reached when I went away to college at 18. Seeing Greg assemble his “Used” grain bin and mechanical systems make me proud. Farming has come a long way in my lifetime. I’m happy that he can realize his dream… and grateful to you and he for allowing me to see it unfold.
Hearing your tales of your youth on the dairy farm always makes me appreciate how modern agriculture has evolved, yet still remains connected to that hardy can do attitude. I can appreciate how you and your father welcomed the ability to buy in bulk versus all the handling of all the bags. Much like we welcome autosteer and many of the other advances that make modern agriculture easier at scale. And, no matter how good the grain handling gets these days there are still plenty of opportunities to remember the roots of hard labor. For example when these bins are emptied in the winter or spring, the last bit that doesn't flow into the floor openings must be shoveled by hand to the center. It's a dirty and dusty job but serves as a reminder that even the most modern farmer can't get rid of the scoop shovel just yet. Thanks for the insight into your connections with grain handling. By the way, I can smell that molasses too! Have a great week!
@@digdrivediy I wish my dad was around to tell again the stories of his depression era life on the farm… wouldn’t it be great to put all three eras into one storyline?
I have to say: I came for the pond. I stayed for You and the farm. You are an incredibly hard working, intelligent and positive person. Plus you’re an amazing story teller. You present tasks from the most simple to the very complex and make it addictively entertaining and educational!!! Plus you’re an inspiration as a family Man and a worker. Thanks for what you do. No matter what time of night or how long the video is, if your video pops up in my feed, I click it immediately! There’s very few channels that I’m 100% of the time “in the mood” to watch!!! Thanks again!
Wow that is very nice of you to say. I'm thankful that I have been able to connect with folks that enjoy the channel. I really appreciate you watching and thanks for saying Hi!
I am from Central Europe where such facilities actually look quite different. This was really interesting for me to watch. Thank you for all the explanations!👍🏻😊
As an electrician, Ive worked on a couple of farms with bins and elevators. Pretty cool job. That was a pretty neat way of connecting to the ground rod!
Hello Neil. Love your videos. My wife is the Engineering Project Manager responsible for the design and release of the TMS 800-2 crane you used to lift the grain bin. She was excited to see it being used in the wild since the project was just completed recently. We're sorry to see you had an electrical issue, but it seems like it got worked out fairly quickly.
Oh wow that's awesome! Yeah the crane was really cool to watch. It was down for almost 2 hours because the boom wouldn't retract. A software or sensor issue I'm not sure which but the operator was on the phone and a tech was accessing it remotely I believe. Thankfully they got it going again for them. The operator told me a lot about the technology involved with the crane and I could have made a video just about that! Very cool stuff.
This was a remarkably interesting video and very informative!!! I've always wondered how the bins were assembled and the process of transferring and drying etc in general... pretty cool... Years ago, I worked for a utility company, but the boring, running of the electrical and panel set up was still neat to see... I didn't go out into the field too often (I worked in the office) but I always took advantage of going out to see something new!!! Electricity is actually one of my biggest fears...🙄🙄🙄 That smile on his face when things were completed was priceless!!!
WOO!! At 25:48 !! Are you kidding me!?! I'm had not idea that the level of ag you were seeking!! Did I somehow miss something?? Bins?! A dryer?!?! I'm so baffled!! Yeah it's all perfect and beautiful. I just didn't expect anything like ?!)!
So glad to hear you dish out the knowledge again! Watching your video is the first thing I do every Sunday morning. Thanks for taking the time to explain the process so well.
What a great video- and what a great bit of education for all of us non-farmers to see the amount of time, money and determination behind evey bushel of dry corn.
Not finished. Gotta get to church. But I’ll say it again. Love that you’re talking and keeping us all informed on the process of your projects. Keep up the great work!
Great video as an electrician definitely one of my favorite videos glad you used clean fill nothing worse then fishing a job to have a wire broke by a rock on back fill
There's an old saying " Proper Planning Prevents Pi** Poor Performance " Job well done !!! Cheers from San Francisco....Farmers are the Bread Basket of America.
That was extremely educational and interesting to me. We are surrounded by farm land and I'm very curious about the process. Thank you for taking us along and for all the information 🙏 😁👍
Most people don’t understand the risk, complexity and capital expense involved in modern grain farming. All of this while corn is sub $5 bu. It’s nice that the they were able to source some used equipment .
I love your videos! You give what is needed and you don’t waste our time on a bunch of unnecessary stuff! I’m looking forward to the pond getting full and the weather being nice again and the family getting to enjoy it! 👍 ❤
Great video, very interesting to see how it’s all done, I’m just surprised the ducting wasn’t ran all the way to the distribution board. Thus protecting the cables better.
That's a major upgrade for the farm. Other than setting the farm equipment, my career included most of that construction. The Butt Fusion on the PE, is also used in Natural Gas lines installation. Great professionals, did a fantastic job. Very impressive 👏 Thanks for sharing this event.
This is really educational for us city folks who have no clue what goes into the many steps of harvesting. Thanks for a great video. Your friend must be stoked!!
Excellent video, so happy to see the smile on an American farmer’s face and that he is doing the best he can for our country. Thank you for this video 🇺🇸🇺🇸
As far as the directional boring, you are steering when pushing without turning, and going straight when turning and pushing. The angled blade on the front of the tip is what causes directional change when pushed with no rotation, as the locator knows the orientation of the blade.
I appreciate videos like this so very much Neil! I have an endless amount of curiosity and while I have worked on a farm I had no idea how elaborate of a setup you could have for storing corn. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to explain how the systems works so that I can learn things I would never know. The smile on Greg’s face was absolutely priceless and I found myself smiling with him as it is absolutely contagious. PS: I am an avid Captain Kleeman fan now thanks to you. Back when you delivered his quick attach I started watching. Apparently Indiana is the home of most of my favorite RUclipsrs.
As a teenager, I spent my summer months building grain bins all over IN. That is some HOT work. I always got stuck holding the wrench on the inside of the bin.
The technology advancements in equipment to build grain bins since I built them in high school back in the early nineties is just impressive. Great video
Im definetly pumped up about your content. I’m so down to see more from seeding to harvest and see how all the process works and how it’s been done. Great work as always!! Thank you!!
hello from Sweden Niel! I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for the incredible source of inspiration you are to me and many others. they are a pleasure to follow you every week, I haven't been a subscriber that long but soon have been watching every video. I myself work as a self-employed person with a similar job as you here in Sweden. keep doing what you are doing and don't let jealous people affect you. you have such an incredibly nice family both at home and with us on RUclips. all the best and good luck with everything. greetings Dan from Sweden.
Thanks Niel! I haven’t seen Greg smile that much sense Perdue beat MSU in basketball. Looks like it’s going to be a great setup. Be sure take care my friend
My family is from Wapakoneta but I grew up in Toledo. I have lived in Fort Myers Naples for 25 years. I have no background in this stuff and I now wake up on Sundays searching for the video. I watch everything on RUclips at 2x the speed. Your channel. 1X. Good stuff. Love how everything is second hand with a little elbow grease.
Always enjoy the storytelling in your videos. From the heartfelt touching videos like your parent’s anniversary, to the more technical content like this video. They are always interesting and entertaining. Thanks for the shoutout to the Captain! Take care!
That was cool as hell to watch come together. Im not a farmer, hell i cant even keep my grass green, but living in South Jersey we're surrounded by corn fields and always wondered how these got built and what their purposes are. Entertaining and informative.
This is another amazing example of the master storyteller you are, sharing & explaining how things get done. Introducing new machines we have seen around town. Explaining the complexity of the modern farm so we can appreciate the sacrifices of the family farmer. Thank you Neil & family!

Sure thing Sam!
Great video, Neil! Most people don't realize just how much work and money goes into running a successful farm.
I would love to see this dog when he puts weight on he is so beautiful
Most people don’t understand the risk, complexity and capital expense involved in modern grain farming. All of this while corn is sub $5 bu. It’s nice that the they were able to source some used equipment .
Holy moly! That was a major undertaking. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it BD!
What an absolutely fascinating video thank you!
I love your videos! You give what is needed and you don’t waste our time on a bunch of unnecessary stuff! I’m looking forward to the pond getting full and the weather being nice again and the family getting to enjoy it! 👍 ❤
It was fun to see a small family operation growing. Well done documenting the process and how things work. Always appreciate your explanations.
I don’t want dirty dirty dirt I want clean dirt! 😂 impressive what man can get done in this age, great vid and achievement ❤
I’m all about used farm equipment and doing more with less. Love to see it and congrats on the new wet bin and dryer!
Please continue narrating because your educating me and it’s enjoyable 😊
Great process to watch. Thanks for taking us along Neil.
Great video, very interesting to see how it’s all done, I’m just surprised the ducting wasn’t ran all the way to the distribution board. Thus protecting the cables better.
This setup is so neat & tidy. Does my OCD a world of good 😊
That's a major upgrade for the farm.
Other than setting the farm equipment, my career included most of that construction.
The Butt Fusion on the PE, is also used in Natural Gas lines installation.

Excellent video, so happy to see the smile on an American farmer’s face and that he is doing the best he can for our country. Thank you for this video 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video. I hope it serves him well for years to come. & thanks for the commentary…don’t listen to the haters.
Amazing work to feed a country. Thank You
As far as the directional boring, you are steering when pushing without turning, and going straight when turning and pushing. The angled blade on the front of the tip is what causes directional change when pushed with no rotation, as the locator knows the orientation of the blade.
Perfect explanation. Thanks!

Has learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. thank you
I'm impressed with this directional boring technology. Firs time seeing it. Greetings from Ghana
As a teenager, I spent my summer months building grain bins all over IN. That is some HOT work. I always got stuck holding the wrench on the inside of the bin.
I was waiting for the dryer to make popcorn
The technology advancements in equipment to build grain bins since I built them in high school back in the early nineties is just impressive. Great video
FYI. They spin the pipe when they want it to go straight. When it holds still it will bend in the direction of the angled bit.
Good point!
Its amazing how much a non-contact voltage sensor is useful whenever working with electricity. Especially when cutting cables.
Great point!
wow... that was cool..
Im definetly pumped up about your content. I’m so down to see more from seeding to harvest and see how all the process works and how it’s been done. Great work as always!! Thank you!!

hello from Sweden Niel! I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for the incredible source of inspiration you are to me and many others. they are a pleasure to follow you every week, I haven't been a subscriber that long but soon have been watching every video. I myself work as a self-employed person with a similar job as you here in Sweden. keep doing what you are doing and don't let jealous people affect you. you have such an incredibly nice family both at home and with us on RUclips. all the best and good luck with everything. greetings Dan from Sweden.
Watching how this all works is so very interesting, makes me want to be involved in this industry. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Niel! I haven’t seen Greg smile that much sense Perdue beat MSU in basketball. Looks like it’s going to be a great setup. Be sure take care my friend
Ha! I think he's gonna love it. Worked great so far. Thanks so much Mike!
Really interesting to watch! Thanks, Neil!
That's a very suffocated farm setup. Impressed seeing them upclose.
World’s largest popcorn machine. Turn the heat up, add some butter, boom!
Love your channel and Capt Kleeman, best two channels around! Always something to learn here.
Agree, Props to Captain Kleeman.
gr8 job !
I don’t know whether to send you my resume or just say that you’re my favorite new RUclipsr. I love your projects and lifestyle. More videos!
Good job guys, lots of familiar faces in this video
Thanks Tony!
Great video. The maze of underground utilities 😮
The bin build was cool too
My family is from Wapakoneta but I grew up in Toledo. I have lived in Fort Myers Naples for 25 years. I have no background in this stuff and I now wake up on Sundays searching for the video. I watch everything on RUclips at 2x the speed. Your channel. 1X. Good stuff.
Love how everything is second hand with a little elbow grease.
Awesome!!! Totally new to me. My corn planting and harvesting were very limited (2 years and failed crops)
Lucky to have the power company willing to do the 3 phase build out. Often times nearly impossible to get or certainly cost prohibitive.
Always enjoy the storytelling in your videos. From the heartfelt touching videos like your parent’s anniversary, to the more technical content like this video. They are always interesting and entertaining. Thanks for the shoutout to the Captain! Take care!
Hey thanks so much Tony!
That was cool as hell to watch come together. Im not a farmer, hell i cant even keep my grass green, but living in South Jersey we're surrounded by corn fields and always wondered how these got built and what their purposes are. Entertaining and informative.
This is another amazing example of the master storyteller you are, sharing & explaining how things get done. Introducing new machines we have seen around town. Explaining the complexity of the modern farm so we can appreciate the sacrifices of the family farmer. Thank you Neil & family!
Wow, thank you!
This has been an exceptional video. So many interesting elements. Thank you.
Gotta Luv seeing a 1960s Allis Chalmers tractor still earning its keep in 2023!! Peace
Fabulous video
I’ve watched this video like 10 time cause it’s just so awesome.
The ground rod was weirdly satisfying!! Never seen that done before.
I already watch Capt Kleeman nice shout out from another Indiana boy !!
