Our Last day of planting corn in 2021. Unfortunately the 9560 has another problem.. Engine Knocking is never good. We have the Vertical Tillage Mandako storm all dialed in and we're pretty happy with the job it's doing.

@Realistic Farming videos magic, duh.
@@MillennialFarmer Okay this is so cool, being out in the fields and still talking to your girl, I love it! Sure, you can use a phone but who does that when you have a speaking door bell :D
Those corn and soy prices tho.. 💰
Greetings from Hennepin County :)
@Realistic Farming videos uploaded ahead. Published later
ПРИВЕТ МИЛИНИАЛЧИК Я ХОЧУ У ТЕБЯ РАБОТАТЬ НА ФЕРМЕ
Zach that’s an awesome moment to see your little guy working with your father!
I love to see that that in these farm videos. Onyx is #6 on the CB. This has been passed down in the family for a long time.
Kids want to talk to dad in out in the field? Ring the doorbell, der😂
Right, i caught that too. Wonder how long that will last.
Im telling! (ding dong) Daaaaaaaaaad!
That was clever huh.I wonder if they worked it out themselves?
Not sure if thats a good or bad thing lol
We always set flags/pins via Google Maps when we find stones & such and then we can send that to the rock picker guy. It is close enough for them to spot the object.
That's incredibly clever, good time-saver.
Seeing your boy on a skid steer reminds me of how great it is to be raised on farm. We have a small cattle operation of about a 100 head of cow calf pairs. We also do concrete construction. I would never quit the cow operation me and my dad started cause of my kids and I just love seeing the fruits of my labors. Guess what I’m trying to say is with the kids just getting to spend time with you is actually teaching them life lessons and skills wether we realize it or not. I work a lot of young men from the city that literally know nothing about machinery.
Both my girls can drive a standard truck. Most young people have no clue. Farm life is the best life. Tough long hours but worth every bit of it!!! God bless our farmers.
Isn't it wonderful to have the children in the tractor and listen to their taste off music💖
I think I like seeing the dogs as much as the farming.
The “of” part was so cute. After he said O F seeing he write it and say O F was cute. Watching kids learn things is great
It's almost as if they were designed to learn. :)
That's why it is so horrible that millions of kids had no school last year. There are things that they need to learn at a certain age and if they don't learn it now, they will be stunted for life.
@@EtzEchad A year off from school other than dying from the horrible virus? Seems like the proper choice!
@@paulcopeland9035 It isn’t harmful for kids at all, if they’re healthy especially not
@@liverpoolynwa9029 ...and you are doctor who?? Try it on your own kids. No wait. you are willing to put your children in danger?
@@paulcopeland9035 In you question you are stating that kids are in danger if they get the virus which isn’t the case. Half of the class of my little brother got the virus and none of them was even a little bit sick. I don’t have to be a doctor to see that kids are not in danger, I don’t have to be a doctor to read the numbers
Hands like jim are priceless!:its obvious he treats your equipment like it's his own.
As long as he isn't getting it stuck in the field
Ya know, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it wasn't them Welker boys and their damn rock cannon.
Hahahah that's funny
Lol
Grandpa looked pretty proud when Onyx was running the skid steer
It's so cool watching Isla growing up! I remember when I started watching your channel and she wasn't even talking to camera and now she speaks a lot! Also Onyx is doing a lot on the farm already.
seeing Onyx working with grandpa made me the proudest guy ever, and it isn't even my kid or dad!!!..... love seeing this stuff!!
Chevy trucks have always been good for work. They have been in my family since 1959. Farming, ranching, carpentry and the home trades. Welding and more. Good Chevy Trucks.
Zach, I absolutely love that your girls are taking an interest in farming, if only wanting to ride in the tractor, it’s awesome to see them spending time with you asking questions! 👍
I never get tired of seeing the teamwork between Zach and his dad.
Ahhhh...picking rocks. A friend and I were usually tasked with picking rocks in one of their farm's fields along the Maple River in NW Iowa when we were young.
Rather than a tractor and a rock picker, we used a '76 Ford pick-up in 4L which we walked beside, throwing the rocks into the bed as it idled along. We used a seatbelt through the steering wheel to help keep the wheel straight-ish and it worked really well. When we got to the end of the row, one of us would jump in and turn the truck around to go back the other way.
Rock finding sounds like a good job for Onyx. And the girls! LOL
My brother offered my 10 year old daughter 10¢ for each fallen branch she picked up. She pickup up a few then took the tractor and wagon around about about bankrupted him. LOL
It makes my day to see dad's working with their kids and talking with them and teaching them.
I'm proud to see Onyx learning to be more helpful, If it works I'd love to see him running the planter in beans under Dads supervision. That how farm kids learn . Have them run a little here and there and by the time he's sixteen he will be able to be trusted to plant for hours. That go's for the roller, sprayer, combine, and tillage. It also helps if grandpa helps teach! Love how the dogs get along, Anna could have didg for breakfast if she wanted to, But there play mates.
It's good seeing pops hucking seed bags In and out of tractors. Glad that knee healed up good
Seeing Onyx working on the farm has make you happy and sad all at the same time. He's getting big enough to help but he's growing up...
With gps in all the tractors everyone should be able to put a marker on where the rocks are and easily find them with the picker.
Makes me smile and get excited when I see three generations working together
Riding with kids in the cab is so fun because you know they just love it
Watching your dad you and your son working together was nice you guys do a heck of a good job
I like your dad. He seems like that kinda dad. Big on work less on BS. That and he's a pretty mellow guy
its really cool to see your son get more and more involved in the entire operation, cant wait to see him running machines by himself one day!
Your girls are so precious, but just remember they grow up sooooo fast. Your young man will be taking over for ya very soon.
As a kid we picked rocks by hand.... pick anything bigger than your fist.... fist got huge by the end of the day
Me and my brother bought 4 Elho rock pickers this year, and we not miss picking rocks by hand. Ofcourse that time we were a small farm with 5-6 tractors and sheeps. Now we have 40+ tractors and do work all over.
I remember my grandad teaching me stuff and supervising me. I miss him.
Rock picking is a never ending thing. They reproduce every winter.
Great to see the hang-out time with the kids. 😎👍👌
Why do you tip the rocks out so close to the field? They seem to run back onto the field when you are not looking!
And a dad taking the time to teach his daughter how to 'dig' and look for seeds. Awesome.
Seeing your dad and Jim standing behind the tractor when you took it for a round really gives perspective of the size of everything!
Seeing your puppies play reminds me of 2 of our kittens when their chasing each other through the house.
Your kids are so lucky to be growing up where they are. They will be so much better prepared for life in 15 years than about 80% of other children. They will grow up understanding the value of hard work and the rewards of doing a difficult job well. You're both awesome parents. You should both be very proud. Bless you.
Your Dad looks like he’s getting around good. It’s nice to see.
It’s pretty neat to see how quick your youngest is growing up, she seems a good kid. Mine were that big yesterday, and when I woke up this morning my oldest got her driver’s license! Pay attention to them because it doesn’t last anywhere near long enough.
Good to see GPA getting Onyx involved in helping out in the operation. Isn't wonderful to get some father daughter time together since they don't see you much during planting season.
Zach. Your a great son and a great dad. All family farm. Another great video. Thanks
Congrats on finishing corn...hopefully y’all can cash in on the higher prices this fall. Between your dad and Jim I don’t think you could ask for better guys to work beside.😎
I have been a follower and a fan of your channel for a couple years now and I gotta say, you are an amazing, loving father!! Well done, Zach!
Wow riding with Dad on the tractor is way different now than when I was on the farm absolutely fantastic I used to love it so much and then he taught me how to drive it at a very young age yes it was a great life for 7 years of my life were perfection
1:57 such a cool moment when you see a field fleet on its way out to get work done. Cool shot zach.
What a good video for us city dwellers, who sorta wish we had taken a different route, but alas we didn’t , what a wonderful family.
Great stuff, Becky! Okay, you too, Zach.
Nothing like having the kids with you they grow up so fast
I love your father coat! Reminds me of the old school Nascar coats. Too bad Nascar went down hill as much as it did. They should just rename it bubba wallace car now... I can't believe they are falling in line with that nonsense...
My family doesn’t do much farming but my great grandfather had a ranch from the 50’s-ish to the 70’s-ish and there is nothing in the world I wouldn’t give to spend at least a summer there with him and learn the ways of his ranch. He was a cool dude, carried a Smith & Wesson in a gun belt and wore a stetson. But it’s cool to see Onyx helping out on the farm, learning the trade so he can pass it on down the line.
Omg Ila😂 Zach: howd u get dirt in your shoes” her: “getting dirt in it”
You had a good little helper today I see.
‘It’s different’ 😂. Such a Minnesotan phrase.
What a great Dad!
It's great to see Isla out there on the tractor with you. It's not just a guys profession anymore.
over 20 years ago my 4650 started crank shaft knocking like that 9560. I sold it to a farmer 750 miles to SW in Mexico over the phone. I leased a Magnum to finish that fall disking. I could have bought the Case cheap at 35K but found a 800 hour JD 8400 for a 100K. The 8400 is still planting over 2,000 acres this year and I know for sure that I bought a real tractor that has only new injectors in over 20 years.
Hey. Non farmer here, but love watching the operation.
Just watched a piece about fetching rocks and might suggest perhaps using the GPS on your phone or equipment, to pinpoint where you located the rock. Ya ? Well, thanks for the content. Love the backbone of AMERICA !!! Stay safe, God bless....
Always a pleasure watching a farmer playing in his or her field.
SOOOOOO jealous of the time you have with your kids..... They're gonna be very good people!!
I am all happy to see that it is the last day of planting corn, and I haven’t even started watching you plant corn yet this season! it’s binging time. I put off the vids to binge them and it’s about time to do so. #bingathon #ChuckFinleyHasSwag
That's a good idea lol didn't even think of doing that.
I’m to impatient to wait for videos
when planting or tilling and one finds a rock just flag the spot with GPS so when the rock picker comes to the field rocks can be found easier
3 generations working together made me smile reminds me of when my grandfather was teaching me keep it up and stay safe
Watching you play with your daughter left a smile on my face!
Great video! Love seeing the kids tag along and get some one-on-one time plus they're learning how to farm at the same time.
WOW!!! This video was cuteness overload with the kids and dogs involved!!!
It's a good thing you have a good J-D dealer w/ all problems those J-D's have !
Never a dull moment in your day holy cow bud
You had a perfect chance to figure how much wood it could chuck.
I didnt realize how loaded farmers are. Holy shit every toy you could ever want. Nice. Glad to see they make good money.
When your tailgate won’t go down because you’re in gear you know the truck is too smart
I hate when my stuff is smarter than me...
I bet that's a great feeling to have the corn All in. How's the weather in Minnesota. A little cold here in Pennsylvania
Cold here too. We need some rain but overall not bad
@@MillennialFarmer as someone who doesn’t grow soybeans, do they have nodules on their root system like other leguminous crops like alfalfa?
@@MillennialFarmer Aayla sure is a precocious little lady, isn’t she?
My grandmother from potter county pa said it snowed on mother's day
@@ja5onl6 that's a little farther north than me here. It was cold but no snow
As a father of two girls myself, those father/daughter interactions are awesome to see. 👍
Such a great dad, Zach! Great role model.
My professors at University of Manitoba said if your diesel tractor can't do a job at 1600rpm...your underpowered and wasting diesel at 1800+. This has saved us major $ in the last decade. Especially parts and wear on the powertrain. We do a lot of our Quicktill till at less gallons per acre than our Super7 harrow.
Rock picking, the never ending task. Next time someone looks at an stacked stone fence take a moment and reflect that all those stones likely came out the fields it borders a hundred years or more ago. Had to do something with them.
I'm guessing Onyx drove the Suburban to pick up Isla 😅
I saw that too.
Shhhh I didn’t see anything
For cleaning out those trays we always took the forklift withal an empty seed box and pulled it under and just dumped all the treys of seed every time we cleaned
Great video as always. Come on DEER ! Get everything runnin for a stretch for the man, would ya! Geter done Zack, Jim and dad!
You have some of the cutest kids. I admit I am envious not having kids. I wish you well with them. You are making memories with them and doing good things with them. Fun video as usual. Keep trucking man.
That 9rt just can't catch a break. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see it after this fall.
I always enjoy your videos. I'm in southwest Missouri, we plant 112 day corn up here, finished up in the first week of April. Our corn harvest starts somewhere around the last week of August to the first or second week of September. We plant Soybeans, first crop, starting around the last week of May to first of June, mostly 4.8 to 5.0. That harvest is usually starts in October sometime. We also raise winter wheat, which is all headed out now and harvest will be in mid to late June. We double crop soybeans after wheat also, usually no-till into wheat stubble.
Watching all these other farmers adding talc by hand...then see the auto talc dispenser on your tender. Seems like a must have option for anyone looking at a new tender. That has to save a ton of time and deliver better results. Modern farming and all the tech these days is fun to watch and learn about.
Good Morning from New Zealand, Great Video, good to see corn planting finished, Have a great week
A good way to find rocks is if you can view planting map and look for the gaps created when you lift for them. Or drop a pin in FieldView
That is impressive that your son knows how to operate so many pieces of equipment,good job teaching him.
So, I'm a retired nurse, but since running across this channel I'm captivated by what farming is now as compared to when I was around it as a kid in the 1960's. I have a question. On each end of the planter there is a folded up leg that resembles one of the folded front legs of a praying mantis. What are they, and what do they do?
Jajajaja it also looks like a good way for the kids to get ahold of you. That is very nice.
Running solo in the planter and here I thought we would get a “Montage”!!!
Your kids are getting so big from the time you started
Am I the only one who lol’s so hard...”Are you ok? You alright” on the dead animals 😂😂
Reminds me of Derek from VGG
Thanks for checking on that woodchuck. It reminded me that I had to go set a trap....er...I mean alternative housing option...for a woodchuck I saw go under the barn.
Love the dogs! Great stuff Zach, simply Safe for farmers. Ring doorbell to reach dad out in the field lol
I always liked the sound of the big rocks landing in the rock picker and when you dump them out!!
The rock picker is something I wish we'd had when I was growing up. Used to put little flags down by ones we couldn't lift. We picked up everything from small 1" diameter rocks to the biggest we could lift.
field cultivator leaves more on top but whip that off and better soil contact than mixed with trash.
Thanks again for the great video. Good job finishing up the corn. Now on to soybeans. More work there with ground preparation and spraying. Nice you got the part on the planter fixed. Seems always something needs attention. Like your rock picker. We never had one. It works pretty darn good getting them in the bucket. Sorry your big tractor is down again. Seems to have some bugs in it right now. Am sure they will get it figured out. Think you said the fan system was broken. Appreciate the way both you and dad approach broken down items. Just get it fixed, no reason to get all mad about it. You have good relationships with your equipment dealers and that helps. Good way to operate. Glad the kids enjoy riding on the tractor. Neat family ways. You hang in there. Take care and be safe. Thanks Becky for editing. Thanks for your time Zach so we can go along. Iowa farm boy from years ago.
Congrats on getting the corn all planted love when the kids join u in the tractor always fun to watch
Surprised Deere doesn't have a "Rock" button on the fancy screens that later can be shared to take you to each rock as a waypoint...
My little girl Sydney 4 July 5th, missed it by 1hr 21min, 1:21am 😁
Soon as I heard it, called it...
That's rough to have to deal with a valve
LOL.. those dogs do like the chase.. I wonder if they'll still be doing that in 10 years when they're older???? Isla is still cute as ever...
