- We switched back to planting corn after spending a day doing soybeans. We're racing the rain and trying to get our last 200 acres in! This has been a rainy spring but the farm work never stops.

It amazes me how the equipment has evolved since I left Southern Minnesota to join the Air Force in 1982. Thank you for sharing and best wishes for a good growing season.
Thank you for watching!
You can actually plant faster with row cleaners with just wheels. They never slung up the roots like your tracks are doing. The row units did not bounce around as much with the row cleaners moving the clods out of the way. Made a much more even seed bed and even emergence as well. On our Kinze we have a slanted bar that hugged the wheels that keep the wheels clean as well. But at the same time we didn't work the ground either. It was notilled
I work for a fertilizer company in Michigan, and it’s been raining non stop last night and today. Supposed to continue for the next couple days. Makes for a slow shift!
love when that weird red thing shows up in a video haha
Whiskey River one of my favorite songs.
Ontario,Canada iam a 55 yr old farm hand lol,we dont have 1 acre of anything planted.It rains 1to 4 inches ever 3or 4 days.and lol for the next 3 week.oh the winter wheat is toast,there is some good YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU I do enjoy
.
Totally hi tech farming, I grew up on a farm in the 50s and very early 60s, the equipment you have nobody could have imagined at that time, there was a big jump in farm production from horses to the farm machinery in my day. There was much bigger jump in production with the type of farming equipment now available. Keep up the interesting videos
This has been the most crazy spring I can remember in my 48 years. Winter dragging on 'til April, April showers coming a month late, flowers freezing, which means a serious hit to fruit crops, especially apples. My wife and I will be lucky if we can get our balcony bucket garden going before the end of June!
Looked like a red Amish buggy being chased by a corn planter!!!
You ll have to trial a “what the heck is that thing”-trac at this stage 😂👍
blimey you'd think an experienced guy like you would know how to fix the problem put more air in the tracks! keep up the good work.
Yea they were looking a little flat on the bottom to me also
Another informative video. I like how you explain the process that you go through when planting. For us city slickers we see that there is more to farming than meets the eye. Thanks. Stay dry!!!!! Oh I also like your 'behind' the scenes action..... eating a long john, having lunch delivered, belching. You never bring a boring day on the farm.
I enjoy your videos so much. My wife and I had a small dairy farm 30 miles east of Buffalo NY but the equipment was very small. I think that is why I enjoy watching your videos with the new equipment I don’t know how you can afford to have so much newer equipment.
Here in michigan we call our field cultivator a digger as well. We enjoy the videos and we watch them while we farm as well. We have 3500 acres and custom farm another 1500 to 2000 acres depending on the year and weather in our area. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friend! I'm watching this video again I'm starting to think about planting season it's only 7 to 8 weeks away .
WOW WOW WOW ... can't believe you are already over a 1/4 million subs ... congratulations!
Hey Zack, down in southwest Georgia, hot and dry, 11:03pm waiting on a pivot to finish watering peanuts we planted couple days ago, opposite end of the spectrum!
All that coordination is easy. Just hit H Key to hire a new worker.
This still is not Farming simulator.
But the workers need a lot of coordination too.
lol, I wish it were that simple!!
I would like to think that Jim is more intelligent than the FS workers and he is not found crashed into a tree spinning his tracks trying to drive through it
HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Seriously though, looking very forward to this map!!!
@@ultansadventures :)
Was that a Black Rifle Coffee ad I heard on your radio at 1:54? Best coffee ever!
Heck yeah it was!
That's pretty neat! That's why its called neature.
No ear plugs!! I have the same problem from "back in the day" when we ran open headers - sometimes straight and only about 10" long. I now wear ear protection even when running my zero turn at the race track.
Final 90 seconds were my favourite.
Goes from Whiskey river to Feels good to be a gansta.....Loved it
you make me laugh, i sometimes think you spend too much time in the tractor alone. lol
You get the nice lady to tell you the Crop and Stock Prices. I wish I had the nice lady to tell me the Crop and Stock Prices
We are finished planting corn glad we are. Now taking a road trip this Friday see in-laws.
Thanks for taking the time to video your profession!
Zach & Becky, Great video. I thought the tile guy was gonna fix that busted tile for you.
I work for Centra Sota Coo-op in Central MN and it was busy last week before all this rain. Love spreading pre-plant fertillizer in the spring. Be interesting to see how this wet spring works out towards end of june.
Sounded like you need a good fabricator for that planter problem…the Welkers have a pretty good fabricator for items such as yours, I’ll bet Mr Leg Arms could dream up a cover! 🙂
Love it when that Case International tractor pulling a JD planter appears in your video.
12:30 RIP red can
It was a good can he was there when you were thirsty but now he's gone.... Left not forgotten red can you will always be in out hearts..
I can remember, in the way back machine, that grandpa would plant milo in those fields that were way late.
Did he mooooooove over? You didn't show it? The only thing that is dry this spring is your humor. 😉
Keep up the good work.
What does Zack say when he sees a blue or an orange tractor?
Wow, farming is so much work!
Down here in Ohio, we only have 30 acres of corn planted (last week). We might get to the point where we only plant the farms that are supposed to be beans this year and let the corn ground sit idle this year.
Nice vid! Been there fighting rain for our hay!
I am in southern Alberta, and our big rain prediction last weekend totalled 3/10s. We desperately need rain. I know to much isn't good , but better than none at all.
love the moov over joke lol
your sittin better then us over in Midwest Wisconsin.... not a single acre worked out of 3000 yet.
HMaulick same here in Illinois don’t have one seed in the ground yet and more storms tonight.
Always racing the rain
For me, AgCam is one of the neatest things on this planet.
I wanted to share it with everyone, instead of just me and Rodney knowin' it
We have nothing planted in southern Illinois and calling for rain till June
That's just nuts
Another great vid of planting thanks for the laughs
I always love the "Hey, are you ok" ..........LMAO !!!
You are lucky, here in Ohio we have not started any planting because it is so wet.
Same here with southwestern Ontario
I think I may have issues,but that bucket swinging on the drill would really get to me 😀😀
I wish we had that kind of rain coming in Southwest Saskatchewan! It’s a Desert up here!
I think there is about 220 acres planted in Indiana.
#220/221....whatever it takes.
In south east Indiana everybody is going at it like they're killing snakes!
Rusty Shackleford , if that much !
We hardly have anything planted. About 200 out of 4500
YES!! A Mr. Mom reference!
BrinkME, I get excited whenever I can squeeze one in. Especially if it’s a Smokey and the Bandit reference!
"You can tell it's an AG cam because of the way it is!" That's pretty neat! Love it! Keep up the awesome content.
Just look at it
That sucks hope you get your planting done soon
Just so you know, you explain things very well. I'm a non farmer and I can follow you easily. BTW thanx for sharin.
Tough everywhere!! Many haven't turned a wheel yet in SE South Dakota.
Same here in se ontario
Nice video that is a awesome planter and tractor have a great nite
Ya Id say you should have a sort of shielding over top of the gauge wheels on the back side, it will sling around but will fall off after if designed correctly
Here in italy we have got 2 months straight of water, in my zone we abandoned sowing of mais
I never get tired of your satirical humor! I feel for you farmers who constantly race against mother nature, shoot. . I have a hard time keeping 6 acres of grass cut between showers!
love to watch you farm
2 peices of sheet metal attached to the bogey wheel or the mounting bracket for the track system will help shield it..
Dry fields in central Florida too
Neature Nuggets with your host, Millennial Farmer.
Hey Zach, a moldboard plow would take care of the corn residue issues. :)
Using a moldboard plow also leads to excess surface erosion. It’d be better to just deep rip.
May the rain gods be with you!
Another great video!!!!
Hey Zack....could you bolt a piece of steel on the green frame that is just above each track. The steel would stick straight out to the end of the tracks. Weld a piece at the end to make a T and have have a piece on each of the ends the would be close enough to the tracks to knock of residue but not touch the tracks? Not a farmer but a fan so it may sound ridiculous but just a thought.
You make me laugh! I would spend a week of my vacation to come up and help either in the spring to help plant or the fall to help you harvest all you’d have to pay me is food!
Well on the bright side corn and bean prices will be up this year
" I see a john deere planter, and a john deere sprayer " - This quote reminds me of that Robert Mizzel TG4 song of that John Deere Beer, " He's got a john deere tracter and a long green trailer, john deere mower and a john deere baler"
Farmin'! Belchin'! :)
Yeah! But who's cow?
And if he was there before you shouldn't you mooove over and be a deere about it. 😃
God bless you and your family.
I see what you did there!
I love it, millennial heath food with white icing and colorful shots!!!
Shields for the planter? Sounds like a job for May Wes.
Hopefully it won’t rain as much as they are saying and you guys can get back into the fields. Love the videos, keep them coming!
I hope you’re packing heat in that cab in case you have an encounter with a biting goat or a mountain cougar. Nothing too powerful, you just want them to know that you think they’re neat but you respect their distance.
Another great video 👍
some shop push brooms mounted would knock the residue off before it got to the planter units.
"it gonna rain now until about the 4th of July"........LMAO!!!
Whats so funny about it
What isn't funny about it? Crosspatch, no sense of humor at all anymore, anywhere..........geez
So far I've been accurate, we're looking WET!
MN Millennial Farmer, that what she said!
I don't know it's fairly accurate for out here in North Dakota! Got two or three inches in the bag already and plenty more more to come. luckily the gaps between the shower seem to be getting a little bit bigger in the forecast just enough to get some small Windows opened up every once in awhile.
Looks like you need some fenders built to block the residue from getting onto your gauge wheels.
Ah the late season radio shuffle. Classic county, todays country, classic rock, comedy. Repeat in a different order.
Great video and thanks for sharing.
I've been list to your Field Work podcast. Are you considering implementing any of the soil conservation practices you've been discussing like strip till? Really been enjoying the show btw, listening on TuneIn radio.
Zach, I’m frightened because I’ve begun to understand your planning and execution. Maybe it’s because I spent 7 years in Ea. WA farm country with them tater farmers. Thanks for the nudge! I stopped back by to tell you that I’ve not even begun to level off on your “humor.”
I didn't get to see the whole video earlier when I was baling hay and I just now got to see the end that was funny the kids couldn't stop laughing
Count Your Blessings , We are in a Triple digit Heat in FLA,, Send that rain over Here.
Love farming, hope the rain doesn't last too long🚜🌾Like the jokes about Case ih, but I am a Case guy but JD isn't bad 😂
13:09, makes me laugh everytime. Thanks for another great video.
From my computer farming still looks very easy. -Seeding, Harvesting and drinking beer in the barn.
I can't imagine how stressful getting everything done is
Well at least you got something in the ground. Us here in Eastern Indiana having nothing in the ground.
Such a strange year for weather this year.
Great video Zach hope all is well
One of the best parts of the videos are the clips after the official ending, I always wonder what you come up with next :)
Could you add a fan, kinda like the big square balers use to help clean the tracks?
Have you considered making something to cover the row units between the tracks? Something like a cheap roll-up sled might do the trick.
Down here in southern Minnesota, we call them things trash whippers.
Still have not done a thing in the field in northwest Indiana yet rains every day this month so far
I noticed you got to deal with the bomb cyclone, much like we did down here in my area of the country.
Needless to say, the flash flooding and the tornadoes haven't been enjoyable at all. Moreover, the weather was bad enough to close the school a family member works at here in Oklahoma on both days. Which from what I can recall is the first time they closed school for this type of weather outbreak.
Mad dash to get seed in the ground. Sounds like us trying to seed 10 acres with our 5ft Brillion. lol
I’ve never seen farmers plant with residue on the field, we sure do things different in the UK!
Isn't this weather something else? We were able to get all our corn in & are down to our last bean field but it is our wettest field with a bunch of ditches so I think it's going to be a pain to get it planted. I was watching a video of it snowing pretty good on May 19th in MN. Now that's getting scary. Thanks for the video.
Times like this,you wish you had a couple of 48 row DB-120 planters Zach.🚜
And wheels instead of tracks on the seeder.
@@badenielsen Oh yeah😎👍
lots of rain up here north east of you . just got home from town and it poured all the way
