But my grandfather always told me that the reason there were more rocks in the same field the next year was because I missed a pair the year before. Told me they were closely related to rabbits and that if you leave two rocks in a field the next time you come back they'll be 30 of them.
It’s good to see a new surprise guest! I mean the master pipe layer and the tillage man are great but the president on channel now as well is another level!
You are so blessed to be able work with your dad. I lost mine when I was 18. 50 years ago. My blessing is our 18 year old that likes tractors and mechanical things.
In the late 70's and early 80's we picked rocks by hand. Put them in the back of a pickup or in an atv box. $20 a day surely wasn't good enough!! Luckily the biggest ones we had were the size of a football.
It is not a waste of money, but his ancestors in Sweden would laugh about his stone infested fields... Should get a stonefork for the loader as well...
Idk what other people say. I've picked a lot of rocks in my life and I think that rock picker is definitely worth it. Especially for those size rocks!!
Hello from a former Swedish farmer. I've been following you for a couple of years now, and it makes me happy to see your family's hard work and success. And I am also happy to see you still practice the Scandinavian honesty in your dayly life 👍😁👌💪
Grandpa called rocks spring potatoes and we had a lot of them er had a moraine running through our land. We picked a little MF 35 with a bucket and a flat rack. we moved a fence row where rocks had been piled for 100 years lots of hones work
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Busy busy time getting ready for spring field work. When the planter arrives to you, it looks like you are ready to go. Go get em. Time to put corn seed in the ground. Always something around the shop and farmstead that needs some attention. Your rock picker does a great job I think. Onyx does a real good job with it. Good show onyx. That rock picker saves a lot of heavy lifting and handling the rocks. Hope your planter arrives soon. Thanks for everything Zach and onyx and dad and Becky. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
A couple of tynes bolted to your bucket would be ideal for popping and hauling your big rocks. Just a couple of tapered heavy tunes fitted into a box frame that clipped on to the front edge of your bucket and a back support bolted to top of your bucket. Something you only needed to undo a pair of 5/8" bolts to hold.
Back sometime in the 80s, my father in law had hurt his back in the spring and had a couple relatives help out with rock picking. When they came back in they told him "we got all of the rocks". He laughed and said "If you got all the rocks out of that field, I'll have a open-pit mine out there...:
@@phillacy5545 I enjoy the simple things like the ocean, cuddling at home and watching a movie with someone special, going to the beach with loved ones.
Hey man I work at a coal plant and we are sweating up coal dust all the time and one of the worst things is the dust it kicks up it just gets everything dusty!!! So we use this stuff called dust cop you should look into it! It’s handy to keep dust under control
My brother & I were the rockpicker. Can't begin to calculate the tons of rocks we picked. We pulled a 15'x4'(?) trailer behind tractor to pile them up on. I remember one time, we hand dug out one that must have been about 300#. Pulled one wheel of the trailer into the hole which made the trailer about a foot lower. Somehow, we managed to get that thing onto the trailer. As far as where the rocks come from, we figured dad went out at night and planted them just we had something to do.
I appreciate all you humor - even if I don't get the reference or don't like the joke. I come here for entertainment so please continue to make jokes about whomever or whatever you want (it is YOUR channel after all) and I'll continue to not complain when I don't like it.
We live in a VERY rocky area in South West Saskatchewan. Dad asked Granddad if the pioneers realized it was so rocky. Granddad said yes, they could hear them clink on the wagon wheels. But they thought they’d pick them once & be done. Didn’t realize there was a never ending supply! 🥺
As a kid on the dairy farm in the 1970’s I most dreaded dealing with a dead animal, trying to stack hay on a wagon when I didn’t have the strength yet to do so and picking rocks in the spring and summer on sunny days with no wind. I sure miss the farm my family sold in 1981 when I was 14 but I’m not sure how well I would have done on it had we kept it. I got Lyme disease around age 16 and my many health problems weren’t diagnosed until my 40’s.
Love the rock picker, and rocks always come up in my friends paddocks so it’s just the way it is. Get a “Power Broom” to clean the shed floors. Scene them used in warehouses and it does a great job quickly.
Don't take me wrong, Zach love you you're the creator of Millennial farmer, but your dad is the star of the show he reminds me of my grandpa and everytime I see him I just gotta chuckle because that's my papa.😊
When the glaciers that covered Minnesota melted, they dropped huge loads of clay, sand, gravel, and boulders that had been trapped in the ice. This unconsolidated and unsorted debris is known as glacial drift. This glacial drift is the reason for the boulders being found in your area of MN for the past 12,000+ years.
We used to get three rocks per load. Frost great for loosing up soil, but grows rocks. Oh yah that's every 100th acre. Not black soil but very fertile.
I got a DOGCAT as well.... a 25# Maine Coon "Cat".... Kevin is my buddy... he is at least 50% dog...40% goat.... he LOVES and eats everything... including Jalapeno peppers which he scrambles for if I drop one while dicing... I don't have an answer for his weird palette...and he gets Cugo over stuff like Venison or Squirrel - (his favorite) just saying.... he knows when that goes in the Crock pot......
I actually did an estimate for a ag focused ag business like you used for the rocks and other aerial surveying. The time saving for large farms will offset the cost of the service.
Well I never asked but always wondered??? The freeze and thaw pushing ricks up makes perfect sense. Us folks down here in the sip AKA Mississippi. Do t take our jackets out the truck until the night lows are in the 70s. Ty Becky for leaving that Biden comment in. Classic!!!
When I was working in a Vineyard in the 80's, I was in a work gang of 8 guys picking up boulders from a new area. I was on the boulder reduction job using a 100lbs Sledge hammer, I could most of the time break the boulder up in 1 hit by hitting it in the right spot. Whilst the other 7 guys picked up the rock with a rock trailer. The overseer couldnt believe I could shatter the boulders with one hit til I showed him how. :D The CatDog is about the hardest working employee AND the cheapest as he's paid in mice.
That’s one way to find the rocks and there’s apps out there that you can put on your phone that will talk to the tractor and when you’re out scouting and you find a rock you can flag it on your phone and when you go out with the tractor you can pull it up on your tractor screen to see where it was flagged
@@davidburns1781 We are located near a frozen peas, snap bean and sweet corn facility. We grow a little bit of each. The market used to be better. We've grown less and less every year.
Last week I had to move around a couple of tiny rocks---just the size of 2-3 fists---in our garden. I won't call any machine used to move rocks unnecessary...
Hello good farmer. I would like to tell you what happened in Finland when I was bullied at my job at John Deere in a large company. There, bullying and isolation in the coffee room in the last situation were covered up. The big company made personnel transfers and covered up the situation. I would like your help and tell me about Deere's problems sometime if you can. You are a good guy and I enjoy watching your videos. I also hope that you will contact the John Deere company and take care of things, so that I can finally have peace of mind from being bullied at a workplace in Tampere, Finland. I wish you strength for farming and a good harvest Lisätietoja tästä lähdetekstistäLähdeteksti vaaditaan käännöksen lisätietoihin Lähetä palautetta Sivupaneelit

No better feeling than 3 generations working on the same farm at the same time, keep up the good work guys🚜
3 generations and Catdog 😋

catdog is for certain the most devoted employee on the farm from what I see
Glad to see you back sir!
Good seeing your next generation of family farmer out there learning and getting on the job training, someone will be watching their video's one day
So cool to see three generations working the family farm. Thanks.
I saw that old rake at time line 12:19. I still have one of those things that uses a rope that makes it self dumping from the tractor.
It’s always cool to see Anna and Didge enjoy their UTV rides. Living their best doggie lives.😊
That rock picker is NOT A WASTE OF MONEY!! I've walked and picked up enough through the years. Wish I had something like that.
I agree, wish we had one, maybe they should try pi k I ng rocks, see how their back feels after a few years by just picking them up.
In the late 70's and early 80's we picked rocks by hand. Put them in the back of a pickup or in an atv box. $20 a day surely wasn't good enough!! Luckily the biggest ones we had were the size of a football.
but we love ✨toiling in the hot sun ✨ here

We’ve always just used a “rock bucket “ on the skid steer.
Idk what other people say. I've picked a lot of rocks in my life and I think that rock picker is definitely worth it. Especially for those size rocks!!
Those folks have never had to go in the field and pick them by hand, that’s for sure!😂
Always love watching your videos
You don’t want to miss while hammering on sweeps
You have perked up now that the snow is gone. Happy spring.
Does your arm hurt from lugging the camera around yet?🤣 Congratulations on 1 million subs BTW 💥💥💥
Darn that was some fast plowing wow

Walking beans and picking up rocks made me a lot of money when I was younger! It may have been hard work, but it was fun with friends there!
We call it growing rocks. That kids is lucky because we used to have a wagon and we had to pick up the rocks and put them into the wagon.
Yup, then when that wagon was full, you got to have lunch, but not until it was FULL!
Builds character and a strong back
We used a pickup truck when I was a kid. The rocks would roll off the flat wagon. Eventually the front-end loader came in handy in later years
Don’t forget….ya got to pick them up again to unload the wagon
Just ordered a Shirt and used the coupon code. Shipping is more than the shirt. But its worth it. Thank you for the great content.

Joseph Stalin tried collective farming of thousands of acres and couldn't make it work. You make it work.

Hi Zach, Just bought some merch from you. Keep up the great vids.
Can't wait to see the planter in Action.
12:19 can we see that pile of wood in the background burn when you get too it.
Hey Onyx, awesome looking dirtbike you got, bro.
I live a little south of you in Minnesota and today it was pouring rain
Zach a rock picking bucket on the loader of that 6175 would really make those big buried rocks easier to get out.
Or a set of forks at the minimum.
Love the vids and the wee man is a great worker you must be so proud 👏
It really is something how those rocks force themselves up like that. You'd think they were lighter than air.
It's the fact that they are *heavy* that makes them get pushed up by the freeze-thaw cycle.
Soil erosion plays a factor in rocks showing up. Nobody wants to talk about that.
@@theron1317 My brother’s name was Theron. Unusual. ❤️
Awesome
@@melindaburch4318 awesome
