CATASTROPHIC FLOODING AT THE FARM!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- 13.4 inches of rain in less than 5 days has inundated our fields, causing severe flooding. Our farm's bin site is damaged, and many roads are now inaccessible. In today's video, I show the widespread destruction caused by this once-in-a-lifetime flooding event that swept across my farm in Southwest Minnesota. This catastrophic flood also impacted Eastern South Dakota, Northern Iowa, and all of Southern Minnesota.

Matthias, aka HiTech Farmer, is a 5th generation family farmer from Southwest Minnesota who promotes agriculture by capturing it through the lens of a camera, one video at a time. Passionate about emerging farm technologies and the benefits of 21st-century precision agriculture tools, such as farm equipment, GPS, and autonomous tractors, Matthias is determined to bring new methods into his operation. These methods can improve his farm's efficiency and sustainability into the future. Learning from his parents' (Mike and Dawn) work ethic, Matthias sees every day as an opportunity to educate and entertain about the daily triumphs and challenges his farm faces, whether technology-related or not. His mission is to share his enthusiasm and knowledge of agriculture as he embarks on what it means to be a farmer in the modern era.
Hard to do but stay positive, it's a very tough business you're in son!
Mother nature as a business partner isn't the easiest thing
I'm so sorry for you farmers . Its either a drought or a flood ! Will you lose it all ? Keep praying !
You work so hard !
It really depends how long it takes for the water levels to go down. Any crops under water after 48 hours are usually toasted
Thanks for the video. Big fan of farming community. Hopefully the crops will survive
Thanks!
Thanks for informing us on how this flooding impacts the farming community. Prayers that those crops can still recover.
Thanks for the support!
No matter how much you plan, how hard you try or how many hours you work. You can not control the weather and although that is not unique to farming it sure can mess with what it is you are trying to accomplish. Sorry for your luck but I bet you will remember 2024 for the rest of your life.
Same thing happening here in MB Canada. As if farmers don't have it hard enough. But regardless I thank the Lord above for this opportunity to learn and cherish the good years even more. Hopefully Plant25 will be better.
Happens every once in a while
Without a doubt I'll never forget it. Thankfully no one was hurt
This is a small glimpse of his future farm
So true of farming
Thanks for sharing..
That's got got to be a once in a hundred year flood . Great video
Worst my Dad has ever seen! Hope I never see anything to this extent again
Crazy how the last few years in MN have been a severe drought and then we get this amount of rain this year
Never saw this coming after the dry winter too
You are lucky, God is washing all the chemicals from your farm. Stay safe.
Now STOP using chemicals.
So sorry this happened. It’s devastating.
Thanks for the support!
WOW! You certainly have a very big mess to unravel. It must be heartbreaking for your whole family after all the hard work you put in. Stay strong and god bless you all.
Thank you so much! God bless
We're experiencing a lot of unusual weather around the world, likely due to both natural climate and human-caused. It's remarkable how much rain has fallen in such a short time on your farm. Have your parents ever seen anything like this before?
My dad has never seen water run over the road in front of the farm like that. Even the county guy said they design roads and bridges for the 100 year floods and the water was still going over many of the bridges designed to keep the most extreme flooding back
The sun spots have been very active and lots of solar flairs erupting headed towards earth.
The sun has effects of weather on earth. Not man kind.
@@HiTech_Farmer scary stuff. We also had an unusual amount of rain in Ireland. The farmers are suffering here...
@@va3kbc if it were just the sun we would have seen this weather before but no one has, in the uk its just as chaotic
Sun is crazy, el nino cycle in the ocean, and planes putting ionized material into the atmospheric accelerating condensation. The new chemtrail prank is now they don't spray in the day so it gets really hot, but then at night they do spray and heat gets trapped at night resulting in abnormally warm nights.
Astonishing how much water the atmosphere can hold…..one inch of water on one acre is one hundred thousand gallons. Think of how much was released per hour in this storm.
Will crop insurance help in your case or farm disaster relief help?
Good question! Too early to tell. Will need to see what happens in the coming weeks and months. I will be sure to mention any news in future videos.
@@HiTech_Farmer Farm Aid!
Ironically, just a few hundred miles to the southeast of you we would love to get some of that rain!
No lives lost as far as I've heard. Roads and buildings can be rebuilt
What a frickin mess, the weather is a nasty monster.
good year to have crop insurance, hope the insurance companies pay out.
If you can afford it!
😮😮
The trumpet is being sounded are you listening!
The time is near!!
The end is near, again. i.imgur.com/MvCHoWC.png
Ooof,, I feel for you...
Man farmers are getting their asses kicked this year. I feel terrible for them. I’m a dirt guy, and I see the gravel spread all over the place from the water and if I lived there I’d be cutting the farmers deals in gravel and delivery
Absolutely, it's been a tough year for farmers. It's great that you'd help out with gravel and delivery. Going to be a long rest of the summer now
Another federal crop insurance bailout...
the flood will be gone in no time dav i
Joes infrastructure deal..
Y’all drowning and we are drying up.. crazy
People have forgotten that Yahweh controls the climate and the weather.
Not anymore.
That accent 🤣 were your mom and dad related?? 😬
This is worse than Demented Joe, and that's saying something.
politics is not a personality. you should get one
This is what happens when you channelize water into unnatural water courses for the sake of profits and eff the environment. Had farmers let streams meander, left low lying areas for flood waters to pond, this sort of man made flood wouldn't happen.
I would argue that any ditching man has done would help the environment during this type of natural disaster
Once in a lifetime floods? Happening pretty regularly anymore and likely to get worse with each degree of temperature increase.
Geoengineering of the weather is what you are getting please watch this video called the Deming from Dane wigington are gov is using the weather as a weapon against each and every one of us especially if you are any were with farm land and I no it's hard to believe that but they've got full control of are our climate now days just do yourself a favor and watch that full video and then make your decision about what is going on here and do me one more favor and tell everyone you know what's really going on with it please appreciate you trust me you'll be glad you watch the video
Dimming.
That's a hopeless hope But it's hope
First the crops and livestock. We are next. Eat zee bugs and be happy.
Thats alot of nitrogen heading to the ocean.
I just discovered your channel. Great videos. I'm so sorry to hear about the inundation of rain. I hope that the fields can recover!
This is exactly why I get so damn pissed off at these fools that were crying the last few years about "drought" WE'VE NEVER HAD A DROUGHT. Why cloud seeding hasn't been outlawed yet here is unfathomable.
Cloud seeders.
As a farmer in SW Ontario, it's so tough to see this.
God bless you folks, hoping the weather straightens out soon.
Thanks neighbor
This water is needed for the farms in Idaho that got their water shut off by the government after they already planted their crops.
Unfortunately it's part of history . Records get broken not so good memories made . But hopefully it doesn't happen for the rest of ours lives .
Weather warefare
Relax. Trump will be in the area on Wednesday to toss out paper towels and brag about his crowd size. And, of course, Melania will be there wearing her "I Really Don’t Care, Do You?" coat.
what an idiot 🤦♂️
man that's a lot of water you got 😮😮😮
The first tragedy of a person life , will more then likely to be their world record nightmare. Armistice day blizzard. Hinckley burned down. Chicago Heat wave ' refrigerator truck for the dead. Before they changed the wind chill facter , 100 below wind chill. 😁 . The children are seeking relief from the heat wave with grandparents at the ice cream shack . The flavors 😅 voted to be the best , will be revealed by Casse and Clark after the break, 👋🧚👏👏👏👏🧔👩🦱😆🤣😅.
Prayers that the water recedes rapidly, and your crops stay healthy to harvest.
🙏🙏🙏
How about some dike up hill from the bin site to route flowing water around it? My family farmed 500 acres 4.5 miles north of Grand Meadow Mn. My dad was on the Minnesota Dairy Promotion Board through the 1970’s. Farm was sold in 1981. We had some flooding in the south end of our farm in late summer 1978 when my parents and I were on a farm tour through Europe. My dad called home to check on things and whoever talked to my dad downplayed the situation. We finished the trip. It was interesting to tour Europe when I was 11 years old.
Thanks for the comment! The water has to go to the creek down past the bin site so what were thinking is digging in a larger culvert to be prepared for MASSIVE rain events like this. Hopefully, we'll never need it and it just looks silly to people that pass on the road.
Very interesting to learn about your connection to the farm! I bet as an 11 year old seeing something you've been raised up around on the other side of the world was quite the experience. I'd bet you are still even apart of the agriculture industry because of the influence farming had on your life when you were younger.
No connection to the farming industry but I have pole barn storage on an old farm. I mow the lawn in the summer and fall and I have lots of liberties to fix and dismantle my stuff as long as I don’t leave a mess or burn the place down. The fields are rented by local farmers.
I am glad I did not get all that rain where I live but in next 3 days it is be super hot for me the weather man said be 100 degrees hot hot
Unfortunately mother nature has her ways. Hope everyone is safe! Looks like MN is the land of 20,000 lakes currently.
This is not natural.
KNUJ radio said the record high tempature was 102 on june 23,1922. Walz keeps babbling about climate change and global warming. What was it called back in 1922 if it was record hot then? Walz needs to go.
Good Afternoon from Northeast Mississippi-Prayers for you and your entire family for a speedy recovery and prayers for all of the other farmers dealing with flood water and all of the damages done by the flooding-Good luck and God Speed-
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. Hope this doesn't cause much flooding downstream
Great update on the flood damage! I appreciate your work, support the farming community!
Thanks!
I think you're getting ahead of yourself with the claim of "once in a lifetime."
I really hope not
This is the result of destroying the tall grass prarie for greedy sodbusters trying to reap huge profits
Looks "good to excellent" to the usda. Lots of grain gonna come from that😊
Drought is busted, looks pretty bearish. USDA logic
Thanks for the tour, my heart goes out to you guys. There's only one thing worse than too much rain and that is no rain at all.
I wouldn't say no rain is a bad thing. I farmed up until 2022 and it rained like this in iowa in 1993.we had lakes like you do there is no yield at all. But with drought you usually had a little yield every where. I've always had better yield with a drought than with flooding
No , its a meteorite 70 mile by 70 mile in mass on fire 🔥 smashing er favorite bingo hall. 😅😆✌️✌️
Know this was heart wrenching
There was bad flooding in 2011 around there
Where's that?
Soo sorry, were beef /hay farmers in Wi. the rain is terrible here too :(
Better days ahead!
Cloud seeding is the new danger.
Got that much needed rain finally
Few years back i got 21 inches in less than 4 days in ms. U just Start over
Dude you're screwed
Sorry about the rain. In a flat place, there really isn’t anywhere for that much water to go.
? ALLOW MORE WEATHER
MOD ‘seeding’ ?
???who is it deciding to spray what is it ??? in our sky ???
I’m sorry to see this is happening to you guys. Keeping everyone in mind, better days are ahead!
I would love to share some of that water. Aint seen rain in awhile at my farm. Keep on keeping on
Thousands , its billions
We could use some of that water in Virginia. We are in a drought and 100 degree temperatures.
Can’t feckin win for losing
Then here in Mo we’ll have a bumper crop.
Corn is dark green, beautiful and tasseling
Build a ark!!
Prices going up at the grocery stores again...and to think individual small gardening is being attacked with restrictions....we can't win.....
BLINKEN WAS OVERHERARD SAYING: "WE DONT CARE ABOUT ANY OF THIS; THE PRESIDENT AND I ONLY CARE ABOUT UKRANIAN PROPERTY DAMAGE".
Weather Warfare. Doppler makes it possible. Your Government loves you!
A penny for your thoughts seems a little pricey.
Just saying in the last 15 years of water redirection has caused this should of keep your Feld smaller with rows of trees
Best of luck to you. Monocultures ruin the soil though. Regenerative agriculture is the way to go.
Thank you for your reporting on these floods. You be careful, okay? Some of that excessive water might be contaminated. God Bless you, young man.
Thank you, I will
dont worry bootahead will get right on that after he gets back from pride month but dont look for him to show up to look at it he cant get his shoes dirty messing with the little people that voted for him
Hard to imagine, but only 100 miles South of you we are very dry. For 4 years very dry. 3 years of rainfall in 4 years isn't working well.
Hope you get the rain you need this year. I’d be fine giving you some of ours
you can thank the geo engineers for the flooding its what they do, pretty sad
Looks like you should be planting rice!!
You better call the chemical company, got to be able to spray for that 😂
At least you can't complain that you've got a drought
praying for you guys we had drought here in philippines but no flood praise God
Thanks! Hopefully you get the rains you need
Dont worry Bidens got your back lol
It happens everywhere...once. river blew over the banks here in 96..
How are you sitting up in Canada this year? I watched your most recent video and you mentioned at the beginning its been raining a lot.
@HiTech_Farmer raining right now....I would say perfect conditions at the moment...but just a hour away...drowning
Good for you! Hopefully it stays that way for the remainder of the season
Matthias that is horrible site to see , must have been torrential to get that amount , lets hope you get a dry spell now so you can start the clean up , it must be bad not just for you but all the others around you too , perhaps in a few weeks you may get some Nitrogen on at it grows away fast , must be hart breaking for you all , It will come right it always does and it may bump the corn price up now
Really bad. So sorry for you and so many others affected by this.
Thanks for the support!
Go Regen and you will eliminate a lot of flooding.
My father had the chance to buy his fathers farm in the Skagit Valley North of Seattle . He said no way because the Skagit River broke twice washing men's whole lives work into the Bay !
by the way I own a farm to and my place is just about as bad 😒
Is rice or cranberry an optional crop?
You farmers have to have guts of steel I'd be sick to my stomach having that much land under water have to faith in God my wife always tells me I'm from central Wisconsin we've had that same Strom hit here some fields under water but not near as bad as you guys have it good luck keep faith
Wonder how the same area would have reacted to excess rain 80 years ago when your great grandfather was a sterward of the land. Small farms, fences, woodlots, timbers and weed draws. And no one knew what tile was.
This isn’t once in a lifetime anymore.
Damn bud let’s hope you can recover been watching the news and weather channel but didn’t realize how bad it is
Its not been the best of years so far
That is sad. Well here in Arkansas the old timers use to talk about the flood here in 1927.
A storm I'll remember for the rest of my life for sure too
Well that help for future
Regenerative farming solves this problem
Sure it does
1986 in Saginaw County Michigan we had a large flood from the Flint River our farm lost 500 acres corn and soys several farms lost more than that it was devastating, shortly after there was a dike committee established from surrounding communities and all properties pay an annual assessment since 1990 there has been over 40 million put into the dike s system so far we have been good.
This is mark live in ill have farm on nobles county 13 thanks for the heads up
Awful,,Lets hope for a 2 week break from rain.
What township are you near? Close to Lakefield?
Northeast corner of Nobles County
@@HiTech_Farmer Thanks
